Chester (00:31.576) What is up people? Chester (00:36.322) I'm Chester and I will be your guide each week on what will be hopefully a safari of conspiracy, paranormal, and supernatural topics. On this first episode I just wanted to lay out a bit of a mission statement and start to lay the foundation for the show and what I hope it can be. So let's start with the name, the Psychonaut Podcast. I really debated on this one for a while and talked it over with potential co -hosts and yeah. It might be a bit of a deterrent at first glance, but I couldn't move off of it because of how well it fits the purpose of the show I want. To be a psychonaut is to be somebody that explores inner space. And ultimately when you get into these crazy topics, you aren't always going to have hard facts to rely on. You're going to have to have some confidence in your perception, your discernment, deciding for yourself what dots to connect, what you believe, and what you want to leave. That'll range in reason from everything from just not ready to see the world that way to just doesn't make sense. And over time, one can become the other. And I'm never going to be one to tell anyone that all of this is true, all of this is bullshit, but it is all worth considering and weighing out on your own personal scale. A while back, I had somebody ask me, why do you care? You can't do anything about these people. And to some extent, they were right. And that stung a little bit. But we've moved into an era where you need to pay attention. Being a theorist is now something that went from like a hobby to something that can pay dividends in your real life. Almost like working out. The last few years being skeptical, paying attention might have even saved your life or family members life or at least avoided some health complications. And will we know that for sure? No. we didn't have to roll the dice and find out the hard way and that, that is valuable. And unfortunately, it's only going to get worse from here. But if we know history, we know what's been done for a fact, then we can try to see the signs and the telltales of what's going on in current times and not play into the hands of those that would try to manipulate us. And maybe it'll save our tails again. Or in some cases like crypto right now. Chester (03:01.186) You might even be able to become very wealthy in the near future. But we have to do the work of being a bit of a mental samurai. And I know it sounds corny when I say it out loud, but bear with me. We need to sharpen our discernment to a fine edge to cut through the bullshit psychological warfare that's being waged on us on an everyday basis through media, TV shows, music, whatever. And that takes time. It's what they bank on for the manipulations to work. They know people are too busy, too lazy, to go out there and find the truth for themselves. So they skew information, they leave out vital details, they tell half -truths and straight -up lies. So what I'd like to do here is fill you in on some Conspiracy 101, help you hone your own discernment, and add some fun color to your day -to -day life. maybe give you an interesting topic to talk about instead of the weather tomorrow at work. So that leads me to my first segment, factor fiction. Each week, I would like to tell you a theory, some fake, some real, but you take a guess at whether or not it's true. In the 1930s, with syphilis on the rise, the US government launched a program with the lure of free healthcare for those with bad blood, which at the time was an umbrella term for a whole list of things. Enlisting hundreds of people with syphilis, they gave them nothing but aspirin or placebo and intentionally not giving them effective treatment as the patients went blind, insane, and eventually died. In a study of the disease progression, fact or fiction? Chester (04:46.126) Unfortunately fact, this is known as the Tuskegee Project. To make it sadder, about 15 years into the project, penicillin became known as a way to treat it, and the people running this project convinced all these study members, local doctors, to also not treat them. And this project was almost shut down, but it was voted to keep going until the last participant died. What the fuck, right? This is proof that doctors can be influenced to do people dirty. So you gotta ask yourself, how did they convince these other doctors? Why didn't these other doctors come out and say anything? Why did it take one lone experiment runner to leak this story to the news to get it shut down? By the time it was shut down, 128 people had died of syphilis or the complications from it. 40 spouses were infected and like 20 kids had it passed to them by birth. This is just another bit of history where governments will show you. Sometimes they'll allow terrible things to be done to their citizens in the name of science. Just something to think about. So this week on our 101, I want to talk about something that's probably foundational to most, if not all, conspiracies, and that's occultism. All too often, occultism is written off by normies and looked at like something that's just for scary movies. But to those of us into these sort of topics, we know that symbology is literally thrown in our face every day. So today I want to cover my personal exhibit A, Occult Nazis. This will probably be my exhibit A forever, whenever people try to downplay the occult, or magic, or anything of the like. Whether or not you believe in these things or not, there are people in this world that live as though it's very real. And they do some pretty horrific stuff. Whether or not they get the magic or the power they seek when doing it, almost doesn't matter. So it may as well be. The best factual group of this... was the fascist political party, which was birthed and funded by what we know now was an occult group called the Thule Society. They gave the party the Swastika symbol, the belief of the Aryan master race and its hatred for Jewish people. They are the ones who also prophesized the German Messiah and believed it was Hitler. There's a lot of belief that this Thule Society was also searching for aliens and that they called Vril. Chester (07:07.222) a fabled energy source they believed that these aliens had. It was all kind of corroborated by a German rocket engineer that fled Germany before the war and revealed that there was a secret society in Berlin looking for these mythical aliens and their energy source. Some people believe they found them but we'll go over that another time. The Nazi party heavily embraced Nordic paganism, so much so that it was required to become part of the SS. This was prominent in everything from rituals to pagan -style weddings, you name it. They were obsessed with obtaining objects of power, such as the Holy Grail, the Spear of Destiny, launching expeditions all over the world to try to find these things, and any mystical knowledge they could get their hands on. They even went on to try to create their own objects. Enter Heinrich Himmler. He was a head, if not the head, of the SS officers. And he created and gave out what is called the Death's Head Rings to his most revered SS members. These rings were covered in runes, symbols, the owner's name, and imbued with occult magic through rituals. And in the event that the bear died, these rings were also under the strictest orders to be returned to him under the belief that he would be able to wield some sort of power from their death or sacrifice to their cause. When the war turned on them, the collections of returned rings was rumored to be hidden in an unknown mountain to charge in some sort of totemic power so that they could aid them when the Nazis rose again. To this day, there's an estimated 11 ,000 -ish rings that were never found. Then there's Himmler's Castle, Will Wellsburg. I probably butchered that pronunciation, but it's what it looks like. This is what many called the Nazi Temple of Doom. Revered by the SS as a place of mystical power, the walls were decorated with Swastikas, ancient Germanic runes, mystic German symbols, you name it. The place even had matching tableware. That's how in -depth they got. Himmler also built a room with 12 pillars to represent the King Arthur's Round Table. 12 SS officers to be the new knights and perform the occult rituals and rites. The number 12 being important, Chester (09:24.846) The SS had 12 departments, 12 leaders, and their symbol, the black sun, also had 12 spokes. This is just another case of numerology, meaning a lot to people like this. So this castle would be a place for the SS to prepare themselves spiritually, quote unquote, for operations and battle. When the war turned, Himmler ordered this place to be destroyed, but due to a lack of supplies, they were only able to partially do the job. Probably only able to destroy the most critical areas that they wanted to hide from the Allies. So as many of you probably know, but for those newbies out there, when the war ended, Operation Paperclip took place. Top scientists and the like of the Nazis were selected by the Allies and given new identities to work for them in secret, and fear that if they didn't, the Soviets would take them and have an edge against the Allies in the future. Many of them being the same SS that took part in the occult rituals and research that were now given new identities and government funding to continue their work right here at home founding and running organizations like NASA i .e. Warner von Braun who was like Hitler's right -hand man this was in my opinion probably a big invitation of evil into our country sure we had Freemasons and the like but we just took in some pretty dark people and handed them a blank government check to go on to carry out some pretty awful things. As you look deeper and deeper into different conspiracy theories and things that have happened historically, a lot of these names that get tied back to Operation Paperclip kind of pop up. And we'll try to point out a lot of those as we go along. So to think that these people didn't pass their torch to the next generation is kind of silly. We all know nepotism. is rampant in basically all walks of life. So if you know what you're looking for, the signs that are all over the place that these beliefs are alive and well, even today. So the next time somebody says the occult is just a bunch of goth nerds, you'll know that some powerful people in history, and even today, live their lives very much believing in the power of occultism. Chester (11:50.83) you Chester (12:10.872) So to finish out the show, I want to cover some current events. So not that long ago, I was talking to someone about the Kamala proposed tax on unrealized gains and how terrible an idea that was. Them being big Democratic supporters instantly ran to Google and tried to find some way to say it wasn't that bad. And I had already looked at it and knew that what they were going to say, it's only for people that make a million dollars or more a year. Which is actually wrong. But to make something very clear for those that don't seem to already get it, the rich don't tax themselves. They never will. Don't ever think they'll do it. Never believe them when they say they are. It's just believing that people will do things against their own interests and people in power never do that. Because first of all, Biden had proposed this at a million dollars a year income. Kamala has already brought that down to 4K. and 400 jointly, which to most people sounds like whatever, well, that's not me. I'm never going to be that high. It's not my problem. It really is only for the rich. And that's where you're wrong. And I need to connect some dots for some people out there. As you know, the current administration has already dragged us into a proxy war with Russia via the Ukraine. But what you might not be aware of is that the U .S. utilizes international payment restrictions. be a swift, kind of like a big stick to punish people for doing things they don't like, freezing them out of the world economy. And what we've we've done this for forever, basically since we've been the reserve currency. And the world's sick of it. So in doing this over the Ukraine situation, we've really hit the gas pedal on Russia to ramp up its plans with BRICS. BRICS is a massive group of countries. around the world that are putting together plans for a new financial system. Using crypto, they're gonna gold back it and it won't be controlled by the US. And they have an open plan they talk about called Project Sandman. This isn't a theory. I know it sounds that way when you say operation anything, but it's a fact. They talk about it very openly. And what this is is when they launch this new system, Chester (14:37.23) They're all going to simultaneously dump their dollars and their bonds, bringing all that money back to the US. And when they do that, if the US hasn't done something to back the dollar, because the petrodollar agreement is already dead, if you didn't know that, now you do. They've been unwinding that for a while, our dollar is backed by nothing currently. Then one of these mornings we're gonna wake up and the dollar's gonna be closer to that of a peso. than what we have now. And at that point, when wages catch up to this new revaluing of the dollar, how many more people are going to be hitting that 400 to 400 KV or year mark? Subject to these insane unrealized tax gains, it's going to be a lot. And you know who it won't be? It won't be the really wealthy people because they incorporate themselves, they business expense basically their entire lives so that at the end of the year, they don't have personal income for their tax form. These people operate bigger scale, bigger picture, larger time horizons than the people that they govern. So whenever somebody in power says they're gonna tax themselves, limit their own power, take some steps back, look around at other things going on in the world, try to see the time horizon that they're probably looking at things. and don't vote against your future self. something to think about. Chester (16:12.182) not one to give financial advice, but look into gold and silver, look into crypto. If you have money, you won't miss, try to preserve some value. I'm sure I'll do an episode on crypto at some point in the future, but if this is especially interesting to you, hit me up on Instagram through the podcast page. making a discord that I'll also link in the show notes but happy to try to share my information with all of you but that'll probably about do it for this week hopefully you got a little something from the show give it a follow on Instagram add me on discord I'll probably be sharing stuff that I'm currently going through get ideas and feedback from you for future episodes there Like I said at the top, I'm aiming for a weekly show, but I might be late here or there as I work around my day job. So bear with me. So until next week, keep one eye open. Chester (17:23.469) you you Chester (17:31.01) you Chester (17:36.59) you
