This week I'm talking about end times, and the most obvious sign that tends to herald it in: The Four Horsemen. Yup, those cheery chaps who ride in carrying war, famine, disease, and of course, death. This is, of

Who Shot That Guy? | The Killing of Scott Guy

May 20 2024 15 mins  
New Zealand, 2010 is our setting for today's episode, for that is where the poor soul known as Scott Guy was unceremoniously gunned down in the driveway of the farm he partly owned. While there were some persons of interest, the police really only ever focused on one suspect: Scott's brother-in-law, Ewen Macdonald. Between behavioral issues on Macdonald's side, and family drama ba

Love and War | Ishtar

So, let's pretend the last five months didn't happen (god, how I wish that were true...), and that this episode went up directly after the last :). Anyway, I'm back with an episode that is sort of a shout out to the origins of this podcast: Ancient Myths! Specifically Mesopotamia. I really do love this era, and it's sort of like the origins of all modern cultural lore. Today we're

Sep 16 2023 17 mins  
When a body washed ashore near San Diego, it was a mystery as to what happened. Missing limbs and pieces of flesh torn from the body, many assumed it was a vicious shark attack. But upon closer inspection, that may not have been the case. Many Autopsies, and a few reexaminations later. shark attack was ruled out. So what happened to Michelle Von Emster that fateful day in April of

Operation Midnight Climax

Aug 24 2023 16 mins  
I got nothing for a witty title here. Operation Midnight Climax was an off-shoot of sorts of MKUltra, so you know it's got some terrible stuff associated with it. From LSD and other mind-altering drugs, to blackmail and mind control, Midnight Climax had it all when it comes to shady government experiments on its unknowing, and non-consenting public!
