Those Conspiracy Guys

DEEP DIVE -

On this episode we talk about one of the darkest patches on US history and a pan-atlantic collusion that could have been the driving force behind the global actions of military, scientific and political powers for the last 70 years, Operation Paperclip.

In the last days of WW2 the Nazi elite were wondering what their future would look like. Impending trials for war crimes would definitely be a possibility; and some took the opportunity by pawning their military and scientific knowledge in exchange for freedom and exclusion from prosecution in Nuremberg.

Operation Overcast and later Operation Paperclip was the US intelligence services plan to gain as much Nazi engineering, military, scientific and espionage intelligence they could before the Russians. Flocks of now ex-Nazis with no fuhrer to guide them, ran into the arms of the waiting US and Russian soldiers on both sides of Germany. They were interviewed and spilled all the info for a chance to be installed into US military intelligence, and in some cases, get to stay living in Germany spying on the USSR from their own home town.

The US has had a shady history at the best of times, but harbouring Nazis and cooperating with them as they greatly advance the space program, increase military might, give intel and previous files owned by the SS to the US intelligence community and eventually become revered members of western society, made a lot of people suspicious of the motives of these ex-Nazis.

Names like Wernher Von Braun, Josef Mengele, Arthur Rudolph and Klaud Barbie are just a couple of the 1600 scientists brought to the states for their knowledge. But on this episode we argue the ethics of sucha an information acquisition, how the scientific experiments done on prisoners of war can be not only flawed but just cruel torture; and the collusion of huge respected organisation to smuggle uninterred Nazis out of Germany to escape prosecution in a program known as the Ratlines.

TRUE CRIME -

On this episode of Those Conspiracy Guys we discuss the still mysterious case of the murder of Meredith Kircher, more famously known as the Amanda Knox case. Knox and her boyfriend Raphael Sollecito were arrested for the murder of Kircher in 2007 and spent 4 years in jail until their case was unprecidentedly thrown out and they were set free.

Kircher was brutally murdered in the home she and Knox shared in a small Italian town called Perugia. They were both on a study abroad trip and Knox and Kircher only knew each other for a couple of days. Knox also only knew her then lover Sollecito for a couple of weeks and made the case all the more mysterious.

A man called Rudy Guede, a known burglar, was also arrested for the crime as well as Patrick Lumumba, Knox's boss in her waitressing job. The police incompetence in this case was astounding and the real killer could still be on the loose. Many think Knox and Sollecito were guilty and the legal system in Italy was torn apart with the release of the two in 2011. The case went to the Supreme Court and the appeal fell in Knox's favour but not after her and Sollecito's lives were ruined by salacious tabloid press.

The facts in this one are very much left to interpretation and Claire and I discuss at length the intricacies of the case; the suppositions made by the prosecution including the public prosecutor who thought he was some sort of rock star, Guiliano Mignini. We also discuss the role of the tabloid media in the case and how they swayed the public to presume guilt. Knox is still thought by some to have 'got away with murder' but what do you think?

TRUE CRIME -

On this episode of Those Conspiracy Guys we discuss one of the more famous miscarraiges of justice with an Arkansas trio of young men, known as The West Memphis 3, who were convicted of the murders of three boys in the city of West Memphis, served 18 years in prison, and were released after a celebrity star studded campaign for justice allowed them to be set free under a legal technicality.

Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Miskelly Jnr were said to have brutally taken the lives of Stevie Branch, Chris Byers and Michael Moore in what was purported to the court to be a satanic paedophile sex ritual. These lads were put through the legal system ringer and evidence and testimony stacked up against them.

With new evidence, reinterviewing of witnesses, multiple documentaries and a concerted public effort to rebalance the scales of justice, the West Memphis 3 were released from prison in 2011. But the question remains, who did kill those three little boys? Fingers are pointed at many people involved closely with the case and even a few mysterious figures. Cormac Moore from the Project 10 podcast joins me to discuss the various theories and how the facts in this case were grossly misrepresented to convict some innocent people.

DEEP DIVE -

On this episode we talk about one of the most important revelations in modern technology, suggests tangible solutions to the energy crisis and the definitive answer to whether new are alone in the universe (the answer is we aren’t) we discuss Dr. Stephen M. Greer and the 24 year long mission to disclose to the world the existence of alien life forms in The Disclosure Project.

In 1993 Greer started this journey to reveal the evidence that attests to the existence of extra-terrestrials. In 2001 a press conference saw 20 expert witnesses, of a full compliment of 400, give testimony of first hand accounts of interactions with alien life forms. An update in 2012 in the form of a documentary film called Sirius Disclosure exposed the audience to the Atacama EBE and more tangible public evidence of alien existence.

In this episode we talk about Greer’s legitimacy and how his new documentary Unacknowledged, which is on Netflix now, tells of a telepathic meditation practice practiced in the desert to experience a personal psychic encounter with aliens. Is Greer a snake oil salesman or has he got the ancient key to unlock the knowledge of other worldly beings.

TRUE CRIME -

On this episode of Those Conspiracy Guys we discuss the monster on whom the story of The Boogeyman was based; The Werewofl of Wysteria, The Gray Man and one of the most prolific, evil and cruel murderers of the last two centuries, the sadomasochictic cannibal known as Albert Fish.

Albert, like most gruesome murderers, had a messed up childhood. Brought up in an atmosphere of abuse in a childrens home, and with a family plagued by psycholigcal disorders; Albert was subjected to unimaginable cruelty at a very young age! He soon grew into this however and became one of the most disgusting and vile murderers we have done on this series so far.

Known for raping, murdering and then eating his victims, Albert Fish ficussed primarily on children for his prey. When arrested for the kidnapping of Grace Budd, his reign of terror spread over more than 40 years, was over. We discuss the reasons behind this amazingly self destructive behaviour and what drive Albert Fish to commit the heinous crimes in the way he did. This one is a doozy!

DEEP DIVE -

On this episode of Those Conspiracy Guys we discuss the Beast himself, creator of the Order of Thelema and quite possibly one of the biggest cultural influencers of the last century, The Dark Magician himself, Aleister Crowley.

From his reasonably comfortable beginnings to the debauched and disease riddled end, Crowley lived to the extreme. A proficient and prolific mountaineer, a poet, painter, novelist, magician, occultist and mountaineer who travelled the world on a perpetual search for enlightenment through questionable sexual practices and drug imbibment.

Working his way through secretive pagan religious orders, Crowley learned the power of magic and sought enlightenment, it seemed, at any cost. Rising through the ranks of the Golden Dawn and eventually starting his own holy order, Thelema; Crowley had a vast knowledge and understanding of the power in the universe.

To this day Crowley remains an enigma to most, his exploits in both World Wars to aid the Allies, his famous magical incantations that spawned the many books of magic he wrote, the vast quantities of sex and drugs, the people who followed his teachings and the celebrities and artists that admired his work and a legacy that lives strong even decades after his death, leaves us with a mystery to unravel behind many layers of cloaked secrecy!

DEEP DIVE -

On this episode of Those Conspiracy Guys we discuss the man who possibly could have had the strongest influence on the shaping of society as we know it and whose banking and business practices paved the way for the system of finance that prevails across the world today. We talk about his history, his influence and the circumstances in which he thrived as a entrepreneur and moulded America and world finance to his will, this show is all about The Life and Times of JP Morgan.

The Morgan family stemmed from pretty auspicious circumstances as advisers and financiers of Kings of England, and soon made their way to the new world. Deeply rooting themselves in the property and banking industries in a fledgling America, the Morgans soon had major influence and started creating a wealth some couldn't even dream about. From this business infrastructure John Pierpont bought his way into the railway and steel industries and for every rail station in every town in the US, he also had an accompanying bank. This helped spread his influence country wide.

During the financial panic in 1907, after multiple repeated panics in the latter half of the 19th century, JP Morgan and fellow bankers and business men, decided they would put an end to this financial instability. They colluded secretly at the fabled Jekyll Island meeting where the Federal Reserve banking system was born and the yoke of financial control was permanently lobbed around the neck of the U|nited States.

Morgan was instrumental in many 20th century feduciary and industrial innovations and reconstructions and his influence is still felt today as one of the architects of the financial system, the boom bust economy, and the eventual crashes that its unstable and unsustainable nature creates. All this and more as we discuss The Life and Times of JP Morgan!
