Those Conspiracy Guys

TRUE CRIME -

On this episode we talk about a tragic and very high profile case that inexplicably hasn't been truly solved, but has still ruined the lives of most involved; this time we are talking about Casey Anthony. In 2008 a small child went missing from the Anthony household in Florida, this turned into one of the most high profile trials in US history.

Caylee Anthony, born 2005, was under the care of her mother Casey Anthony, 22, when she went missing. With no-one able to verify her whereabouts for 31 days Casey Anthony was arrested and the massive web of lies began. Caylee's tiny body was found by a neighbour and during the ensuing court case, wild accusations of negligence, incest and molestation were thrown around.

This is a far from a typical tabloid case and the strange unbelievable story has to be heard. The circumstances around Casey Anthony's testimony, the evidence against her, and her inexplicable exoneration are a puzzle for the most diligent true crime minds.

DEEP DIVE -

On this episode we talk about probably one of the most contentious topics of our time, and as far as conspiracies go, it's having a very real and measured effect on the health of the human race. We discuss the history and the kooky science behind the anti-vaccination debate.

Vaccinations have been an important part of the survival of the human race and in the last 100 years, with the improvements in medical technology, life spans and standards of living have increased exponentially. But recently people have been questioning the legitimacy of vaccinations and even go so far as to question the integrity of organisations like the CDC, claiming many conspiracy level motives such as sterilisation and population control; widespread autism and other neurological maladies; and even something as benign as greedy business practices.

This may not be what you are looking for in a conspiracy podcast about vaccinations so tread carefully, but what you will get is a look into the history of vaccines; claims about their negative effects like Autism; and a look at the man and the work that began this insidious doubt, Andrew Wakefield and his now infamous paper from the Lancet.

Im joined by Neil Rochford (http://www.twitter.com/neilrochford) and Gareth Stack (http://www.twitter.com/garethstack) for this rollercoaster and over an hour of outtakes will be available at patreon.com/thoseconspiracyguys

TRUE CRIME -

On this episode we talk about a lesser known domestic terrorist incident involving the full might of the FBI coming down on a small cabin in the wilderness in Idaho; the Weaver family were ensnared in their mountain cabin in the summer of 1992 in what has become known as The Siege at Ruby Ridge.

Pegged as a white supremacist, Randy Weaver moved his family up into the wilderness of Idaho and decided to live a simpler life. His wife Vicky and son Sammy were killed in a shootout with the FBI after an undercover investigation into his involvement with a local white supremacist Neo nazi group resulted in Weaver selling a sawn off shotgun to an agent in disguise.

More than 400 agents set up base camp outside his humble home and snipers took shots at him and his family. Hostage negotiators were deployed to diffuse the situation but criticism came in hard for the FBI and their heavy handed tactics. We discuss what happened that day and the political implications it had; the presidents for incidents like Waco and Oklahoma City and the current presence of similar bad actors in the US today.

Joining me I have Eoin Hamilton and Dara Carroll from The Auld Triangle podcast

DEEP DIVE -

On this episode we talk about the most intriguing mystery in our solar system and possibly the key to unlocking the knowledge behind our entire civilisation, finding out where the human race comes from and discovering whether or not we are alone in the universe; we're talking about Life on Mars.

Humans discovered Mars more than 3000 years ago but it still seems to be at the forefront of our conversation today despite knowing little more than we did back then. Elon and NASA are working to get as much information as possible back to us; but there seems to be something they are all hiding.

Evidence of water on Mars can be seen in the canals and the polar ice caps and the giant, seemingly humanoid stone monoliths are a testament to some sort of intelligence. Matching up the pyramids of Mars with those on Earth in Egypt and possibly even under the ice in Antartica, means that maybe life there isn't so different from what we have here.

Emmet Quinn joins me solo for this one and its a whopper! @emequaliser on Twitter and @emmetquinn on Instagram if you want to follow Emmet and tell him how much you love his dulcet tones.

In a small German hamlet a family is found dead with no evidence and no suspects.

DEEP DIVE -

On this episode of Those Conspiracy Guys we discuss the last taboo and a dark subject that some may not be able to stomach, we are talking about Cannibalism. For hundreds of thousands of years humans, or a variation of humans, have been eating each other, and mostly not just for food. Eating ones enemies or neighbouring tribes is still common practice in remote parts of the world.

Often Cannibalism is seen as a last resort for the desperate and infirm, with famous stories of plane crashes, boats lost at sea, and travellers stuck in the mountains; but it is all too common in regular life too. In the animal kingdom cannibalism was used as a tool of intimidation and control. The most extreme way to threaten ones own species. Or often it is used to dispose of a mate that has served their purpose and is almost unquestionably accepted. But when humans do it there are much more dire consequences. Degenerative brain diseases, murderous blood lust, and extreme psychological disturbance are but a few of the side effects of cannibalism but inexplicably people still partake in the rituals of the consumption of human meat

Some cannibalistic urges stem from a place of sexual desire and some see it as an artistic statement on the animalistic nature of man still present in the modern age So are these folks eating other people because they just want to; or do they need to? Is it a deeply rooted natural compulsion or can it be explained by extreme necessity and impossible conditions for the preservation for human life?

TRUE CRIME -

On this episode we dive deep into the history of Pogo the Clown aka John Wayne Gacy and try to figure out where his insatiable blood lust came from. Lauren Kelly O'Sullivan joins me to talk about John Wayne Gacy and his unorthadix life and seemingly endless capacity for charm and manipulation. Gacy had an incomparible skill for weilding power and the lengths he would go to to satisfy primal urges are yet unmatched. Guilt and shame from his youth played a big part in his future crimes and the fraternal order he joined in Iowa, his split personality and ability to live two different identities, and his skill in coercing people to do his bidding made him one of the most prolific serial killers in history. In his own words "you'll never find them all"

DEEP DIVE -

On this episode of Those Conspiracy Guys we talk about arguably one of the most famous people on the planet; whose legacy is honoured in the four corners of the world, whose life showed us the possibility in diversity and whose mysterious death left unanswered questions and suspicions to this day; this episode is all about Bruce Lee. Born in San Fransisco and raised in Hong Kong, Bruce Lee led a varied and bizarre life coming from winning dance competitions and taking part in gang fights on the rooftops of Kowloon to majoring in Drama and creating his own martial artform; Lee left an indellible mark on modern culture.

Trained in Kung Fu as a wayward youth, Bruce Lee showed skill and discipline for martial arts. After moving to America he began his own school teaching a modified version on Wing Chun and participating in competitions and showcases. It was at one of these competitions he was discovered and the glitz and glamour of Hollywood were within his reach. He modified his martial art into what he called Jeet Kune Do and it was particularly aesthetic on the silver screen. His high profile roles and movies pioneered kung fu on screen and captivated the imagination of the world.

His fame led him to the company of some of the most famous people in the world, and he even took some of them on as students. His blossoming movie career was skyrocketing and he wanted to capitalise on it by producing as much as he could. But Bruce died just weeks before his smash hit Enter The Dragon was released in 1973. His death, in hindsight, was quite suspicious and people coouldnt believe his immensely fit physique could be flawed. But a headache in a costars apartment led to him dying in his sleep and leaving behind many unanswered questions.

Since his death his legacy has been preserved and his death somewhat overlooked. Bruce Lee has gone down in history as one of the many great potentials struck down in their prime. Some believe this is because a family curse put upon the Lee family and others still believe that it was a cabal of Kung Fu masters and the Chinese Triad gangs that assassinated Bruce Lee for revealing the secrets of the East to the Kwai Lo.
