I was invited on The Corbett Report to talk about my book, The Essence of Anarchy, and respond to a question on government regulation of smoking. Given that increased restrictions on tobacco advertising correlate with a decline in smoking, can’t we conclude they were a good idea? Surely no one would claim seat belt mandates haven’t saved lives, would they?

Robert Bonomo first came on the show a couple of years ago to explain the origins of money and its corruption in the modern financial system. He returns today to discuss his documentary films Twilight of the Archons, where he looks at these issues through a gnostic spiritual lens.
Robert also lived in Russia for a number of years, so I also ask him his perspective on current goings on there.

I've been aware for a long time that Adam was once involved in the New Atheist Movement, being a particularly big fan of Christopher Hitchens. In this interview I ask him about his personal journey both in and out of that movement, and what exactly happened to the movement as a whole.

'We can take a complex mystical concept like "dissolution of the self" and turn that into something so common and mundane that everybody does it every day. If the mystical experience is rooted in something as simply as falling asleep, then anyone can do it, and do it to a great degree of depth.'

Adam Fitzgerald interviews me on The Darkened Hour Podcast about my book Contemplating Conspiracy.

'Previously David Icke was a spiritualist who wrote about how problems in the world, including his predictions of natural disasters, arise from humanities negative thought patterns. He doesn’t reject this view, but now a nefarious force takes centre stage to direct this process.'
See David's full presentation on The Robots' Rebellion here:
I talk about David's use of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, without mentioning he rejects the notion they are a Jewish document. His full presentation makes that clear. Also, some of the details in this episode are drawn from David's following work, And the Truth Shall Set You Free. I have heard David refer to these two books together as his 'five sense period', where he uncovered the details of the great conspiracy.

Music: Crossing Over. Curtesy of Neutrin05
By the turn of the twentieth century, and much as with Nicaragua, American corporations were consolidating large landholdings and lobbied the US government to protect their investments as they ran into conflict over issues such as peasants rights. The first US military incursion took place in 1903 and occurred consistently over the succeeding decades. Because the country was effectively controlled by American fruit corporations, it was the original inspiration for the term ‘banana republic.’

The United States now moved to block the Nicaraguan government from putting down the rebellion. They employed the same tactic that had been used in Hawaii twenty-seven years earlier, forbidding the Nicaraguan soldiers from firing on the rebels for fear they might hit American civilians. US Warships then deployed Marines to enforce this order.
The quote, ‘When history is written, the contras will be folk heroes’ is from Elliot Abrams, Ronald Reagan’s Assistant Secretary of State and major architect of the war with Nicaragua.

The Panama Canal was Theodore Roosevelt's pet project. Panama was then a province of Columbia, albeit one with an active separatist movement. Columbia was reluctant to give the United States the kind of control it wanted over the canal zone, requesting ten million dollars to cede sovereignty. Rather than pay up, Roosevelt had a different solution in mind.
