Overview & Main Theme
The episode tackles the “influencer industrial complex,” exploring how prominent personalities and alternative media are often co-opted or created by intelligence agencies and social engineers. This manipulation, the hosts argue, sets the boundaries of “allowable opinion” and steers public consciousness, especially within the realms of UFO disclosure, supernatural experiences, and conspiratorial thinking. The discussion expands into how this dovetails with ancient occult strategies, psychological warfare, public education (notably the “death education” program at Columbine), and the pharmaceutical industry—all with a steady eye on the biblical and spiritual stakes.

Key Discussion Points and Insights
<a name="influencer-industrial-complex"></a>
1. The Influencer Industrial Complex & Narrative Management
- Intro: Austin Picard returns to talk about how media, social influencers, and podcasting have become integral to elite psychological operations and social engineering rather than organic outlets for truth-seeking.
- Targeted Narrative Control: Influential podcasters and alternative researchers increasingly act as “mind war operatives,” consciously or unconsciously narrowing the field of debate and channeling public opinion (04:40).
- Boundaries of 'Allowable Opinion': Public figures set subtle boundaries—vilifying or ridiculing those who cross them, especially when biblical or outright demonic interpretations of topics like aliens arise.
- Reaction to Dissent: Example given (06:43): Timothy Albarino's public ridicule of "nutty Nephilim theories" and the line, "don’t go full retard," perceived as an operation to gatekeep and delegitimize certain spiritual/Christian conspiracies.
“It’s leveraging these prominent personalities in order to one, stage these narratives by setting the table on what is and what is not the concept of allowable opinion. And then through that, they sort of misdirect the public within the concept of the false conclusion.”
—Austin Picard (05:46)

2. Alien Disclosure, Spirituality & Psyops
- Alien/Demonic Narrative Split:
- The podcast revisits the schism between those viewing the alien phenomenon as spiritual/demonic vs. those seeing it as physical/technological.
- Mainstream alternative media—possibly under covert influence—seeks to remove or ridicule the demonic angle, pushing instead a sanitized extraterrestrial model (07:50–10:07).
- Major Disclosure Orchestration:
- “Disclosure” events and documentaries are increasingly funded by globalist and establishment figures (like Harari, Rockefellers, Jesuits).
- These unify the expert class and media into a cohesive, persuasive campaign.
- Occult Roots:
- Modern “disclosure” is traced back to occult sources, Nazi Germany, and early psychological operations—Project Blue Book, Paperclip, and Bluebeam (12:03–15:30; 17:08-19:13).
“We’ve been programmed by Hollywood, NASA, by all this apparatus... to accept these things that Crowley even interacted with... to get us to the point where we’re going to accept a large-scale alien deception.”
—TopLobsta (19:37)

3. Occult Roots, Nazi Paperclip, and the State’s Spiritual Manipulation
- Nazi Occultism & American Power:
- Werner von Braun and Paperclip are revisited not just as scientific imports but as practitioners of occult and even brutal ritualistic violence (18:21).
- Psychological Warfare Origins:
- Declassified memos from the early CIA link UFO/alien narratives to “psychological warfare” and social engineering.
- Example: Use of “radar deception,” staged disc sightings, manipulation of public consciousness via “battlefield of the mind” operations (36:46).
- Orchestration of Social Myth:
- Ancient religious texts like the Book of Enoch are folded into these operations—appearing just at the right narrative juncture post-WWII to support the rising alien mythos (40:05–41:12).

4. Death Education and Columbine
- Systemic Psychological Manipulation:
- Focus shifts to the Columbine High School “Death Education Program,” in which students (even kindergarteners) were guided to write their own obituaries, visit funeral homes, and discuss death and suicide in detail (103:31–104:15).
- Student Testimonies:
- Notably, the case of Tara Becker, a student who contemplated suicide as a direct result of being immersed in these programs (107:15).
- Connection to Tragedy:
- Both Columbine shooters participated in this curriculum.
- Social Contagion:
- Draws parallels to later media events like the “13 Reasons Why” suicide contagion, arguing these practices weaponize narrative to encourage copycat acts and deepen trauma (128:04–130:43).
“When you hyper-fixate on a thing, new agers will call it manifestation... these are all exercises in drenching the psyche in a concept… and then what happens? Now you have suicides as a result.”
—TopLobsta (107:15)

5. Mind Control, Trauma, and Occult Symbolism
- Monarch Programming & Trauma-Based Control:
- Describes the use of trauma, dissociation (including through pharmaceuticals), and occult symbolism (butterflies, Kabbalistic trees) in MKUltra-style programming (60:15–67:11).
- Spiritual Possession & DID:
- Platforms the idea that dissociative states (even schizophrenia) may be understood as demonic possession, paralleling ancient religious warnings.
- Integration of Ancient Occult Traditions:
- Argues that modern psychological alchemy, ritual, and even intelligence agency research are extensions of ancient knowledge about the soul, duality, and spiritual warfare (63:39–76:46).
<a name="mental-health"></a>
6. Mental Health, Pharma, & the Operational State
- Pharma as Control:
- SSRIs (e.g., Luvox—same as Adam Lanza & James Holmes) and Adderall (meth-analogous) are implicated not just as accidental contributors but as deliberate methods for achieving disassociation and suggestibility (143:23–147:42).
- Mental Health Industry as Selection Apparatus:
- Contends the therapy system itself acts as a “selection process,” identifying and passing on vulnerable individuals to covert ops/handling.
- Societal Engineering:
- Expresses deep skepticism and hostility toward mainstream mental health as an industry complicit in the rise of mass shootings, public despair, and “spiritual attack.”

7. Whistleblowers, Influence Operations & Controlled Opposition
- “Controlled Opposition” Narrative:
- The rise of certain authors or guests (recent Rogan guest, “Project Monarch” author) who seem to water down, muddy, or gatekeep conspiracy issues, often by dismissing pre-1990s evidence or adding confusion to the public record (151:10–153:08).
- Manufactured Scandals & Defamation Squeezes:
- Austin wonders if the current wave of high-profile influencer implosions (e.g., Candace Owens) are themselves setting the stage for legal or regulatory crackdowns on independent media and dissent (160:27–166:14).
- Influencer Ties to Intelligence Networks:
- Detailed exploration of the deep background—including the Tavistock Institute, Chatham House, Jesuit orders—of various right-wing/rising influencer personalities.
<a name="spiritual-resistance"></a>
8. Spiritual Resistance & The Endgame
- Pivot to Spiritual Warfare:
- The hosts express an intent for the show to push increasingly toward direct spiritual advocacy—arguing that the only safe or productive ground left will be declaring Christ in the face of the coming “great deception.”
- End-Game Convergence:
- All of the discussed manipulations—media control, trauma, pharma, occult traditions—are converging toward a “new world order” and “new world religion,” prophesied in both the Bible and conspiracy research, aimed at total population control (179:14-183:59).
“What is the point that it seeks to converge to is exactly what you just read right there. This new religion, this new world order, this new way of thinking things. …I don’t think they labored as long as they did just to drop the ball at the finish line.”
—TopLobsta (182:57)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
- On Psychological Ops & Narrative Management:
“It’s leveraging these prominent personalities in order to... stage these narratives by setting the table on what is and what is not the concept of allowable opinion.”
—Austin Picard (05:46) - On Disclosure’s Occult Roots:
“Ever since Orson Welles and the War of the Worlds broadcast… that was a psychological operation to gauge the aftermath and the fallout in regard to the psychological phenomena and how it really affected the public.”
—Austin Picard (12:23) - Demonic/Alien Convergence:
“Why aren’t you talking to the people that have actually experienced this? …It seems to me like you’re trying to omit a piece of the puzzle.”
—TopLobsta (44:35) - On Death Education at Columbine:
“They were allowing teachers with no expertise whatsoever in even psychotherapy… to hypnotize students and have them walk the class through their traumatic events.”
—Austin Picard (103:31) - On Tangled Operations:
“Nothing just happens in a vacuum and then ends. It all rolls into another operation and another operation.”
—TopLobsta (176:08) - On the Coming Endgame:
“This technology is being manufactured for a specific purpose… to enslave the entire population of the world [and] to deny the emergence of the Antichrist and the establishment of the new world order, religion and government.”
—Serge Monast (Project Blue Beam), quoted by Austin Picard (180:09) - Comic Relief:
“I was once raped in reverse… I believe she was a sperm demon.”

Concluding Thoughts
This episode vividly illustrates the team’s central thesis: that reality as we understand it—especially pop conspiracy topics, influencer media, and even educational programs—is heavily manipulated and ritualized by powerful occult and state actors. The show models how to blend research, lived experience, and biblical discernment to stay alert to narrative management in all its subtle, perverse, and sometimes comical forms.
Part three is promised, focusing more tightly on the Columbine operation, network ties, and deeper occult mechanics.
