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.

This is Renegade Files Episode 86, The Miami Mall Incident: Shadow Aliens, Portals, & Coverups.

New Years Day in Miami of 2024 started out normal enough with beachgoers, brunch, boating, and barbecues. That night the Bayside Marketplace outdoor mall along the waterfront was packed with people shopping, dining, and drinking in the bars.

But screams, shots, and chaos shattered the peaceful evening, and as patrons ran for it, they were greeted by arriving police. A lot of police. People were detained, questioned, and their phone photos deleted.

What followed was one of the strangest and fastest explosions of internet virality ever seen. Claims of police falsehoods, a cover-up, and shadowy interdimensional beings hit media in parallel with the official story of teens fighting with fireworks.

But just because a claim spreads fast and far, doesn’t necessarily make it true. There’s an old saying: A lie will walk a mile before the truth gets its boots on.

Come with me now as we unravel the mysterious mayhem in Renegade Files Episode 86: The Miami Mall Incident: Shadow Aliens, Portals, & Coverups.

This is Renegade Files Episode 85, The Satanic Panic.

In this episode we'll put on our Wizards cloaks, roll the 20 sided die, and explore the worlds of dungeons and Dragons, and the way this creative game spawned a nationwide moral panic.

Then we'll dive into some of the popular culture movies and books which fueled the nation's fears with stories of the devil and all of his sinful works.

Finally we'll see how this culminated in one of the longest and most expensive trials in American history, the McMartin preschool trial, where hundreds of children accused dayschool workers of being Satanic Witches who could fly, of kidnapping zoo animals, and of flushing kids down toilets into underground chambers of Satanic Ritual Abuse.

So join me my fellow lover of all things weird, as we dive into the hard to believe facts of the American satanic panic.

Before we jump in I’d like to say Thank You to the You’re Wrong About podcast and their episode: Dungeons & Dragons & The Satanic Panic, plus their work on some of the books we mention in this episode as well. I’ll put a link to their website in the show notes so you can check out their show… it’s good.

This is Renegade Files Episode 84: Forbidden Self Reliance and the Rent Seeking Pimpocracy.

When a large enough contingent of the economy as a whole, is made up of jobs that add no value, then the Self-Reliance activities in society that bypass those mechanisms, become vilified by employees of the no-value-added processes.

In this episode we will dissect what that sentence means for you and I as individuals, and explore how the activity described has impacted society. To do so we will coin a new term, the Pimpocracy.

A pimp is someone who adds no value to the transaction, but profits by way of allowing the transaction to take place. A pimp positions himself as the parasitic middleman, taking his cut without participating. In fact, his only participation is the talking of his cut.

This precisely describes a vast amount of activity in the modern American system of Big Government’s collusion with Big Business.

For example, one of the most ancient ways to feed yourself is by fishing. Fishing is a definitive Self-Reliant activity. But now, if you want to use a stick, and a string, and a hook baited with a minnow, to catch a fish, you must have a fishing license. The person whose job it is to sit in the county tax collector’s office, take your information, and your money, then issue you a license to fish, adds nothing to your ability to catch fish. They exist simply as a middle-man between you and the fish. And for this, they take their cut. This is their job. Their livelihood.

They are, in effect, pimping the fish themselves, for without those, there would be no fishing and thus no license. Extrapolate that across a myriad of building permits, vehicle registrations, license plates, insurance mandates, property taxes, business permits, Bankers who charge you to store and retrieve your own money, government commissioners who debate endlessly, and on and on ad-nauseum.

Much of our modern economy is built upon jobs like these where the only purpose of the job, is to take a percentage of the money passing between two people trying to do business. I say this is a pimpocracy.

Fiat currency not only fuels it, but demands it, but there are solutions and realistic ways out of the cycle, and if you come with me today we will explore what this all is, how it happens, and in defining it, see some clear ways out of it.

So join me and together we will explore Forbidden Self Reliance and the Rent Seeking Pimpocracy.
