Founder of the Annexation Club, Lorrin Thurston, organised a ‘Committee of Safety’ to overthrow Hawaiian Queen Liliuokalani. Crucial to this effort was the presence of the USS Boston and 162 American Marines, who came ashore ostensibly to protect US citizens, but in reality ensuring the coup would be a success.

David Icke divides opinion. Fellow conspiracist Alex Jones famously called him ‘a turd in the punch bowl’, whilst Skeptiko’s Alex Tsakiris has him as one of the most original thinkers of our age. Is he a political iconoclast liberating minds, or a cult leader imprisoning them? Is he a spiritual visionary awakening people to their true nature, or a New Age guru peddling woo? Should he have a global platform on which to proclaim his ideas, or be censored for the public good? And does he really believe the queen is a shape shifting reptile?

Why do imperial structures arise? What forces play into them? Are they internally harmonious, or do they contain different factions fighting against each other? And do we still live in the age of empires now, or have we evolved beyond that primitive way of operating?

Psychotherapist Fran Shure joins us to discuss her series, ‘Why Good People Become Silent - or Worse - About 9/11’.

Drawing on her knowledge of psychology, Fran explains why people may find it uncomfortable to even entertain ideas which threaten their existing world-view, and what we can all do to watch for this tendency in ourselves.

Hello everyone, this is another abridged interview from The Darkened Hour podcast. Adam Fitzgerald and I were speaking with David Chandler, who is one of the principle physicists proposing a controlled demolition took place at the Twin Towers on September 11th. I spent time collating all the criticisms I could find of David’s work and attempted to put them to him. David attempted to talk us through the issues in a way that we, as non-physicists, could understand.

I wanted to start by finding out a little more about David’s background, so he explains how he first came to see the United States as an Imperial power.

The full interview is over two hours long and we go on to talk about the nature of the 9/11 Truth Movement - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HChI9ocBsXw

Is there a sense in which we are all born into a cult—the cult of the State? This all consuming entity that promises to educate us, to protect us from danger, to look after us when we are ill and provide for us when downtrodden.

Conspiracy however, much like spirituality, is a broad church, containing people who are chalk and cheese to each other. Indeed, a lot of people who clearly hold a broadly conspiratorial worldview would be aghast to be labeled conspiracy theorists. In much the same way, a lot of people involved in Advaita Vedanta or Zen Buddhism may not relish the term spirituality, with all the fluffy New Age connotations it contains.

Could it be then that coercive policing is actually generating far more crime than prevents? Could it be that if the police suddenly popped out of existence, society would quickly reorganise itself and find far more effective consensual solutions to crime?

Whilst at the point of recording, the term Conspirituality is exactly ten years old, the phenomenon is no doubt timeless. Whatever the forces are that yoke these two areas together, they are imprinted deeply in the human psyche. The prominent modern conspirituality theorist, David Icke, is expressing essentially the same themes as the Cathars were in the middle ages and the Gnostic Christians a thousand before that. This world is a kind of prison planet, ruled over by dark forces existing in both the material and spiritual realms.
