Alas! the biography of Lysenko. Born in a small village which centuries ago unintentionally saw the historical defeat of Swedish Karolinian imperialism at Poltava. From the backwaters of the Ukraine to the hallways of big decisions in Leningrad and Moscow.
Having been introduced to Lysenko and why he still matters, having given a rudimentary picture of agricultural research in the Tsarist days, we will today suit up in the armour of proletarian science, as to be able to fight the beasts that lay ahead. This episode is a bit theory heavy but I've sprinkled it with some comedy, some parallax events and a biological cliffhanger of the centuries!
We are standing at the gate of the law but unlike Kafka's protagonist we will not be discouraged by the guard or his warning of other guards, more mightier door after door, come dream or nightmare we must step through for the sake of an environmental future that is not a virtual hologram.
Brace yourself dear listener, for it's getting heavier.
Almost a year ago, the ekofascism series came to a dramatic painful conclusion with the green dossier and the Hunger Plan. If you at some point stopped and wondered during those last spring months how the USSR still managed to feed its people and eventually defeat the fascist monster that stood frothing at the gates of Moscow, then fear not, because the return of the repressed is returning with another longer season of answers.
The most demanding expedition yet, one that will answer questions you didn't even know you had. This investigation of the most hated scientists in western modern history, might eventually turn on its head everything you ever thought you knew about biology.
Without further ado I present to you dear listener, the story of Trofim Lysenko!
We discuss further the People's Temple connections to Synanon and related groups, sus Indiana, the Jonestown Red Brigades, Jim Jones' schizophrenic positions on geopolitics, Guyanese politics, normie ass takes on cults, and a few interesting tangents. To finish, we discuss alternate theories to the Jonestown mass casualty event, the ever-important question, "where did the money go?", and our lack of clear conclusions.
We go through Jim Jones's early career, his psychiatric history, Guyanese history and anthropology, the Ukiah era, welfare scams, drug rehabs, several more interesting topics, and my personal favorite: the very curious crossover between Jones's ministry, the Mendocino State Hospital, Emmanuel Swedenborg, and Herb Mullin. Oh, and the first school shooter in the US.
This is a reupload of the Jonestown series I did with Jimmy FalunGong from Programmed to Chill. He has been kind enough to let me upload it also on my show for easier access to those who are not subscribed to his show. And who knows might be worth a re-listen for those who forgot.
In these dark times its difficult to find reason for making believe, this will all change once you hit play. Answering Reid for almost two hours I will do my outmost to lift you spirits to unknown heights. Counterintuitively by taking a deep dive in to Chinese secret societies, covering thousands of years, culminating in a communist community exorcism by the black and red Dao.
Follow me to the Himalayas as I try to answer Wendy Paintings questions about inter-dimensional Big Foot. I will make an attempt at revealing how the British Operation Phoenix precursor was responsible for one of the most sold anti-communist book in history and how they spiked it with Yeti mythology. I will then try to link it with that bogeyman which have been haunting me all autumn. That's right more Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels insanities as I read to you from his Theozoology.
After that there will be some free wheeling as I answer Fergal from The Kingless Generation and contemplate on my daily and not so daily life in Japan.
More names, bigger budget, weirder aspirations. We make the jump from subculture to pseudo religion. Board the starship with us or be left behind and fail to detonate your reality, it's your choice, this is the only planet of choice. Though the priests of Solomon have tilted its axis, there is still a chance for you to pick up the God phone !

Hello and Welcome to the first QnA. I have received a fair share of interesting recordings and written questions which I will my very best to answer. This will become at least three episodes in total. I answer some hosts from other shows that I have visited, old time supporters and guests. Everything from personal questions and the possible childhood damage that led to this show, the real shit of Nordic Noir film-tips, the research of Stieg Larsson, Freud and The Uncanny in 18th century horror short stories and what the Sandman might teach us about Capitalism. Anti-Soviet appropriation of the Abominable Snowman Yeti and the possibility of a Lemur Big Foot. The demonology of landlords during the European peasant rebellions. Bodhisattva-Maoism in Nepal, why the repressed is returning and of course whether Hitler is dead or not. This and much more, so please take a stroll in the autumn landscape while I try and brighten up your weekend!
