QAnon, Mystery Documents, and Crypto w/ Penny Royal and Recluse (Patreon)

In this subscribers installment, I am rejoined by the Penny Royal crew of the mysterious Somerset, KY. They are Nathan Paul Isaac, Darin West, and Kyle Kadel. After first gaining national recognition as a result of Nathan and Kyle appearing in the second season of Hellier, the Penny Royal guys have unleashed their own, self-named podcast on the world this past October. If you haven't done so, I highly recommend checking it out, least of all because yours truly plays a crucial role throughout.

The first season of Penny Royal centers around the mysteries of Somerset, KY, a small town with a long history of high strangeness and cult activity. We use that as a launching point for this discussion. Inevitably, we end up giving your guys a sneak peak of Season II, but the journey there and the aftermath are far more rewarding. We open up with a broad discussion of far right activity in the paraweird community, invoking many of the usual suspects: Michael A. Hoffman, William Grimstead, James Shelby Downard, Adam Parfrey, and, inevitably, QAnon.

After a deep dive into Downard, we explore a cache of mysterious documents the Penny Royal crew acquired last year. They center around the enigmatic figure of Henry Fischer, a well-travelled confidence man with intelligence ties. The documents purport to link him to a host of intrigues and shadowy figures, including the Golden Lilly, the Sovereign Order of Saint John, and Willis Carto of Liberty Lobby infamy. It's quite a story, and as a capper, my website was mentioned in the documents.

Well also have an epic discussion of The Nine as a cult initiated by the US Navy, and the closely related Ra Materials. To wrap up, well delve into the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, Accelerationism, AI's from the future, and the murky history of Bitcoin. It's quite an epic journey. As always, I hope you guys enjoy.
