Overview
This episode of Jay'sAnalysis takes a critical and often satirical look at the growing trend of disinformation, “counter-intelligence,” and conspiracy culture, using Candace Owens’ recent podcast as a prominent case study.

Key Themes & Discussion Points
Disinformation in Conspiracy Culture
-
Critique of Candace Owens’ Claims:
Jay responds to criticism that he hasn’t watched the full Candace episode, clarifying he's watched several and finding her full embrace of time travel, Sumerian technology, and similar topics even more nonsensical than expected."It’s actually worse for you idiots that I actually went and watched it because it’s dumber than just the clip about the Sumerian time travel technology…" (02:00)
-
Classic Disinformation Patterns:
Drawing from personal experience and referencing David Icke, Tom DeLonge, and others, Jay identifies a recurring formula: truth laced with extreme, unverifiable claims. -
Hostility in “Truth” Communities:
Jay recounts how criticism and rational debate are met with ad-hominems and cult-like defensiveness."The people in these groups...take any criticism as attack, and the cult followers pile on, even if you’re trying to be helpful." (06:08)
The UFO Narrative and Counterintelligence
-
Mirage Men and Disinfo Tactics
Jay heavily recommends the documentary Mirage Men, explaining how intelligence services deliberately planted UFO lore using narcissistic “chosen” personalities ripe for manipulation (e.g., Tom DeLonge, Linda Moulton Howe, Bob Lazar)."Generals are not going to disseminate UFO information through a pop-punk singer. But there's a key piece of data...watch Mirage Men..." (13:10)
-
Purpose of UFO Myths:
Disinformation’s dual function: distracting from real programs (e.g., military tech) and providing cover for illegal activities (e.g., trafficking)."This kind of stuff is a good cover for keeping those secrets. It can also be a way to cover for illegal operations..." (20:09)
-
Mocking of Celebrity Conspiracy Figures:
Frequent satire of the idea that musicians like Tom DeLonge or pop stars such as Demi Lovato and Katy Perry are disseminators of government secrets."Are you serious? You actually believe that magnetic Wave...The singer of Blink 182 has figured out all physics mysteries?" (20:46)
Candace Owens, Project Camelot, and "Project Looking Glass"
-
Source Criticism:
Jay scrutinizes Candace’s reliance on sources like "Project Camelot" (hosted by Kerry Cassidy), mocking the program as emblematic of boomer-era, attention-seeking fantasy."You heard me right. For Project Looking Glass, a 2012 interview with Carrie Cassidy and some guberd talking about how the Sumerian time portal technology stopped working in 2012." (37:08)
-
Satirizing Disinfo and Its Reception:
Jay parodies both Candace and her audience, highlighting the uncritical acceptance of increasingly bizarre claims, especially by "wine moms...and dumb potheads.""I’m calling you dumb and calling you names because you keep tripling down..." (37:18)
The Psychology of Conspiracy Proliferation
-
Messiah Complex in Media Figures:
Analysis of how personalities like Candace, Jordan Peterson, and Kanye fall into “anointed” or “savior” roles, losing connection with critics and reality."When they get to this mega level of popularity...they take on a messiah complex and...boot out anyone who would give them pushback." (43:26)
-
Gnosticism and Paranoia:
Jay notes Candace’s themes are drifting toward Gnosticism—reality as an evil “prison planet,” uncoverable only by the special few."This is beginning to move towards Gnosticism, right? She keeps referencing the Matrix...The Matrix is 100% Gnostic." (70:25)
-
Blending Fact with Fiction:
Jay demonstrates how real, documented programs (e.g., GATE, Stargate) are conflated with fictional constructs (“X-Men schools,” Sumerian time travel) as the myth grows.
Memorable Quotes & Notable Moments
Satirical & Sarcastic Highlights
-
On Conspiracy Trends Among Celebrities:
"I'm waiting for [the Pogues] to really give us the truths of zero point energy. Maybe it's RuPaul. The future is trans." (21:57)
-
Dismissing the Cult of “Weird Coincidences”:
"Are you noticing a pattern that...there is this mystical intuition that [Candace] just goes by...The problem with this is that now millions of people...now think they are figuring this out because they feel it. This is female logic, which is not logical." (86:17)
Alerting to Manipulation
-
Why Preposterous Claims Go Unchallenged:
"They just assume that anybody who would try to correct them...is just out for their own motives and...being nefarious." (10:03)
-
On the Function of Disinfo:
"If you watch this [Mirage Men], this deflates the whole UFO nonsense...They even interview people who worked on [faking UFOs]." (18:45)
Cautionary Advice for Listeners
-
On Scrutinizing Sources:
"There's a real Project Looking Glass but it has to do with tabletop exercises...Absolutely nothing to do with seeing into the future, nothing to do with Babylonian Sumerian relics..." (52:28)
-
On the Importance of Discernment:
"If you're envious and...I actually go and do the work, that's a problem with you, not with me. It's not my fault that you didn't do the work. It's not my fault that you fell for these people's nonsense..." (40:43)
Community Call-In & Discussion (91:45+)
-
Jay and guests (including Rachel) discuss personal experiences from "gifted and talented" school programs, confirming much of this targeted education is about New Age and UN-style indoctrination, not covert grooming of "X-Men" or psychic super-agents.
- Rachel:
“I got a full-ride scholarship to school, which I never used...but all that just to say it’s kinda gay. Like who cares, right?” (91:58)
- Jay:
“You weren’t put into a pod and linked up to the matrix and given LSD doses...? No? Okay.” (92:39)
- Rachel:
-
Further examination of why people fall for such narratives:
- Rachel:
“It’s not that they’re not intelligent, but it’s like they lack this specific skill of being able to connect things...” (94:48)
- Jay:
“You need to figure out when something could or could not or not necessarily logically follow.” (95:22)
- Rachel:

Conclusion
Jay’sAnalysis delivers a spirited, comedic, yet pointed critique of how influential media figures recycle, amplify, or even originate Modern American conspiracy mythologies. Jay cautions listeners to discern between the sober documentation of malfeasance and the allure of wild, Gnostic, Marvel-movie style “mega” narratives, emphasizing the latter are frequently created, fostered, or exploited as counterintelligence and social engineering. Ultimately, the episode is a primer on critical thinking, skepticism—and the importance of not out-sourcing discernment to celebrities, pop stars, or internet cults.
