362 - Wet Sauce feat. Kenzo Shibata (10/28/19)

Robbie Martin goes solo on this episode of Media Roots Radio to discuss a wide range of issues and stories that slipped through the cracks on earlier episodes, delving into General Flynn's QAnon oath, Freudian projections of 'classical liberals' like Tim Pool who constantly obsess over what they see as an impending civil war, Tucker Carlson's head writer being fired over comments on a web forum and how his program acts as a pipeline for neocon war propaganda about China. Robbie concludes by going over recent escalations between the US and China and why these asymmetrical warfare maneuvers are largely going under the radar.

Part 3 Synopsis:

" Robbie Martin continues the Freemasonic History of the United States starting with the unintended occult allure amplifying consequences of the Anti-Masonic movement and how the Anti-Masonic convention pledge to expose as many documents as they possibly could might have actually backfired on their intent.  The rise and fall of Joseph Smith Jr. the founder of Mormonism is of particular focus in this episode. Joseph Smith was influenced heavily both by Anti-Masonry and Freemasonry and the goal of not only restoring Christianity but also Freemasonry to it's alleged ancient roots. Frontier era heroes like Sam Houston, Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie are revealed as practicing Freemasons who ended up facing off with other well known Freemasons on the Mexican side. Famous Slave rebellions and revolutionary abolitionists also have interesting connections to Freemasonry and lunar events. Robbie then speculates about the possibility of another Masonic secret, that may have informed Smith's visions, the discovery and ritual use of psychedelic drugs. "
