Programmed to Chill

[originally published on Patreon Sep 23, 2022]

Today's the final installment of the Cathar series, dropped a few days early because I'll be busy next week. I finally did it - an Angleton episode. I discuss the life and times of James Jesus Angleton. I argue that there's something new for listeners with any level of Angleton familiarity. I discuss Soviet defectors, the Trust, Kim Philby, Anatoly Golitsyn and Yuri Nosenko, MKULTRA, the Lovestone empire, the Israelis, the USS Liberty, the Monster Plot, and Edward Clare Petty. It's my grandiose contention that I advance the theory of Angleton-as-mole one step further by looking at Petty's career. Finally, I look at Angleton's conception of himself and the spiritual implications of espionage.

Today much is revealed including the source of the dissertation I've been using for Cathar research. I discuss Cicely d'Autremont starting with her family history, her early life, her love of James Jesus Angleton, their rocky marriage, the Georgetown Set, and her time in France. Then it becomes Programmed to Chill's Poetry Hour as a I read several of her poems which range from nice to disconcerting. Finally, I reveal exactly why I've been so fixated on this dissertation.

In part 2 of 4, I revisit and reiterate the Cathars' cosmology and the situation leading up to the Albigensian crusade. Along the way I discuss Thomas Pynchon and his essay on the Luddites. Then I discuss the period of time immediately before and leading up to the Albigensian Crusade, namely two Cistercian preaching missions to the Languedoc. One of these was spearheaded by Bernard of Clairvaux. In particular, I utilize a dissertation which posits alternate or additional, dare I say parapolitical reasons for these preaching missions. This, too, is setup for the following episode.

Today's the first of four episodes on the Cathars, a series which is going to be much more relevant to P2C's interests than you might initially think. This episode is very much a straightforward account of the history of the Cathars, their origins and beliefs, an account of the Albigensian Crusade, the inquisition, and and overview of the modern-day neo-Cathar movement, such as it is. Big payoffs in this series in episodes 3 and 4.

Today's all about the Simon Necronomicon as explained by the book 'Dead Names', also written by "Simon" aka Peter Levenda. I go through Levenda's early life, as reported by Levenda, which CJ describes as having "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" vibes. I attempt to cross-reference what I can to external sources, and we explore the subterranean world of the wandering bishops.

We discuss the Necronomicon text, its purported origins and the backstory that Levenda provides. We talk about the Witch Wars, the nature of witchcraft, and how the Necronomicon is attempting to teach us not that aliens are demons, but that demons are aliens. In turn, this contextualizes why Levenda took what looked like a sharp turn into Ufology later in life. Finally, we try to answer the question "why is Levenda like this?"

Today I'm joined by Flipper (@moonbaseking) to discuss all things sus Beatles. We start by going through the Profumo Affair largely through the lens of the Beatles.  Then we discuss my favorite topic, John Arthur Reid Pepper, dentists, LSD, MKULTRA and parallel programs, and so forth.

I explore the Beatles' finances in an attempt to understand why they became the biggest band in the world. That's right - taxes, offshoring, capital gains, stock companies, and especially the shadowy financial figures behind the Beatles.

We talk about the Maharishi (very interesting guy), Magic Alex, the Eastmans, Allen Klein, and anything Beatles must inevitably talk about Yoko Ono. Finally, we discuss Lennon's assassination.

Today I'm joined by my secret society guy, Monty, to discuss the legacy of the historical Bavarian Illuminati. Monty and I talk about the Illuminati's influence on the French Revolution and trace a direct revolutionary lineage from Weishaupt to Marx. Ultimately, we ask the question, "why was the Illuminati so shitcoated?"

Songs:

Today I'm joined by my secret society guy, Monty, to discuss the historical Bavarian Illuminati. Monty takes us through the state of Europe at the time, and we talk about the Jesuits and the Catholic church, the Enlightenment, the Rosicrucians, and so forth. Monty introduces all the main figures of the story - Weishaupt, Knigge, Franck, the goals and structure of the Illuminati, the development of the secret society, and various famous historical figures. Monty walks us through the repression of the society, and that's the end of the story - nothing interesting happens after that.

It was very fun.

Today I'm joined by Matt Farwell (@huntclancy) of the Hunt for Tom Clancy blog to discuss the 1984 film Dreamscape. Dreamscape, as it turns out, is a very weird film, and Farwell and I use it to discuss a wide range of weird things.
