This is Renegade Files Episode 92, Conspiracy Theory State of the Union: 4 Years of Renegade Files.

This show marks our 4 year anniversary and in honor of that occasion, and as an annual tradition, I offer you the Renegade Files Pledge…

I pledge allegiance, to the truth, and the weird world of Renegade Files,

and to the Alternative, for which it stands, One Nation, Underground, Invisible, with Conspiracies, and Mysteries for all.

Thank you so much for joining me on this episode, and for helping the show reach this milestone of 4 years in podcasting.

Like the previous anniversary shows, this episode is unscripted and relaxed.

Wow this has been a great year, and we are set to take it even further in 2026 so get ready to rock.

This is our annual Conspiracy Theory State of the Union episode where we look back on the previous season of Renegade Files, look ahead to the coming year, and reflect on the current state of alternative media, conspiracies, and the paranormal landscape.

This is Renegade Files Episode 91, Reggae, Rastas, and the CIA: Cultural Espionage in Jamaica.

In this episode we travel to the heart of the Caribbean, to a nation whose palm-lined beaches and sweet reggae rhythms often ebb and flow on tides of political unrest.

We’ll examine how the Jamaican two-party system became entangled with Cold War posturing, how the CIA played its hidden hand in shaping the course of Jamaican democracy, and how reggae music, and the figures who defined it, emerged as both cultural icons and political activists, either by choice or by force.

Finally, we’ll look at how figures like Bob Marley and Peter Tosh became folk heroes in this geopolitical storm, and how a single concert, the “One Love Peace Concert”, attempted to bandage a wounded nation back together.

“Rasta don’t work for no, CIA,” - Peter Tosh

And through it all, we’ll find that the Jamaican experience isn’t just a story from the past. The echoes of CIA interference, of politics fused with celebrity, of cultural figures caught in the crossfire of ideology, those echoes ring out today in other lands, not the least of which being, the USA.

So follow me now, deep into the rocksteady rhythm, as we stroll down a humid side-street in 1970s Kingston, where reggae sways the dancehalls, while superpowers pull the strings.

This is Renegade Files Episode 90, Indrid Cold - The Creepy Smiling Man of Modern Folklore Horror.

Tonight, we’re diving headfirst into one of the strangest legends to emerge from the annals of American paranormal lore; the story of Indrid Cold.

He’s been called The Smiling Man, or The Grinning Man. To some, he’s a visitor from the stars. To others, a specter stitched together by coincidence, fear, and media frenzy.

Come with me now, as we explore the stories of Indrid Cold - The Creepy Smiling Man of Modern Folklore Horror.

This is Renegade Files Episode 89, Us vs. Them: How To Choose Neither in a Divided World.

When speaking about the two political parties in Jamaica, Bob Marley asked, “How can something that divides us, ever bring us together?”

Our current political system is no different.

And if you imagine that one side is good, and the other side is bad, then you have fallen for their trap of division, that pretends to seek your support for one side, but in reality, only seeks your participation, in the division.

But the Us-versus-Them mindset runs far deeper than DNC and GOP—it’s written into our history, our psychology, even our myths.

On this episode we dive deep into something that’s been with us since the very beginning of human consciousness—an invisible force that shapes how we see each other, how we form groups, and how we so often end up declaring war on one another: The Us-Versus-Them Mentality.

And as mentioned, this isn’t just politics, although politics thrives on it. It’s not just religion, though religion wrote some of its earliest and most compelling scripts. And it’s not merely human nature, although it’s wired into the ways we have evolved.

And yet, it’s deeper than all of this.

In a world built on sides, what happens if we refuse to play the game? This episode unravels the ancient roots of division and explores a third path to clarity and peace. In this episode, we’ll uncover why the world divides us—and how, together, you and I can rise above that divide.

If that sounds good to you, then come with me now into Renegade Files Episode 89, Us vs. Them: How To Choose Neither in a Divided World.

This is Renegade Files Episode 88, The Collins Elite: Demonic Aliens and Deep State Spiritual War.

Imagine assembling a team of investigative spies whose members are a mixture of Black Magic Witches, Catholic Exorcists, UFOlogists, and Deep State Intelligence Agents, and them assigning them the mission of identifying and resolving the source of the perennial UFO and Alien Abduction phenomenon.

While this sounds like the premise of a late night horror movie, it could be more fact than fiction. 

On this Ad-Free Episode we will explore an unsettling convergence of Occult Research, the deep state, and a spiritual war for human souls, as we learn about The Collins Elite; a shadowy group whose eclectic members came to believe that UFOs and Aliens might just be far more bizarre and sinister than we have ever imagined.

If you’re ready for a deep and twisted ride into one of the weirdest and most mind-boggling episodes ever, then you’re in luck. Now parts of this are non-linear. The threads tend to be fragmented and disjointed, but there is a whole to be revealed here… it’s theoretical and crazy, but fascinating. 

If that sounds fun then follow me now, if you dare, into Renegade Files Episode 88, The Collins Elite: Demonic Aliens and Deep State Spiritual War.

Welcome to Renegade Files Short Drives #7 – Red Night Vision Demons of Vietnam.

This is number 7 in our summer series of short episodes called “Short Drives,” covering strange stories each Friday this summer.

These short drives episodes are my presents to you for being a fan. They DO NOT replace the longer episodes which still come out twice a month.

In Vietnam an early generation of night vision goggles supposedly caused some unintended effects. According to first-hand accounts, soldiers who used them saw things… things they were not supposed to see.

The equipment was quickly discontinued, forbidden for military use, and replaced.

Join me now as we get into Renegade Files, Short Drives #7 – Red Night Vision Demons of Vietnam.

This is Renegade Files Episode 87, The Westall UFO Event.

This Mass UFO Sighting has been called Australia’s Roswell, but modern UFO enthusiasts and researchers might argue that the incident is much more similar to The Ariel School Sighting, than it is to our favorite watershed New Mexico crash and coverup.
