Democrat's Palace Coup, Trump Assassination Attempt

A long, unedited excerpt from the dawn section of an unattended overnight recording, featuring Crested Bellbirds performing a series of transpositions of their distinctive but (rhythmically and tonally) variable Bellbird song pattern. (At 20:10 one of them seems to push itself to the highest point of its vocal range.)

The recording was made with a microphone rig comprising four supercardioid microphones in an IRT Cross / double NOS array, in open Mallee country.

In this first stereo mixdown of the four isolated tracks of the fourfold array, because of the original stereo perspective, there appears to be only one main (near) vocalist (not counting those Bellbirds that are obviously much farther away). However, while later experimenting with other stereo perspectives made possible by the four tracks, it became clear that, in fact, more than one main (near) Bellbird vocalist was involved. For a different stereo perspective that reveals this differentiation: https://earth.fm/recordings/winter-dawn-in-mallee-country-with-crested-bellbirds/.)

Recorded respectfully and mindfully on the land of the Meru and Danggali peoples.

2 Thrush Nightingales - The 48khz/24Bit version

People use generative artificial intelligence to troubleshoot technical problems, churn out anime-inspired images based on their personal photos, and drive university professors who teach undergrad courses to the darkest pits of despair.

But are the applications of artificial intelligence limited to worldly matters?

On today’s episode, we discuss how strings of words generated by mindless neural network predictions over tokenized inputs are burrowing into our very souls. First, we speak to Rolling Stone journalist Miles Klee, who recently published a fascinating investigation into people who have fallen into spiritual fantasies because of their conversations with ChatGPT. And then Annie covers how conservative author Rod Dreher sees the devil in AI chatbots.

Have you heard the good news of our lord and savior: byte pair encoding tokenization?

QAA was known as the QAnon Anonymous podcast.

God, the Devil, and AI feat. Miles Klee (E323)

Everything you need to understand the podcast — and the outlandish, bloodthirsty conspiracy it was jokingly named after. This episode is a cheat sheet for some of the more impenetrable things we cover, a glossary of the damned, and a great way to get into the podcast in general. Send it to a friend!

In it we explain terms like: QAnon, Pizzagate, The Storm, Where We Go One We Go All (WWG1WGA), Redpilling, Shills, the MSM, Q Drops, 4chan & 8chan, Spygate, the Deepstate, and The Great Awakening.

QAnon Anonymous

Episode 1: Introduction to QAnon

Travis View visits Jake & Julian to talk Reddit bans, 4chan / 8chan reactions and theories, Q drops, the Voat exodus, Tech companies becoming the arbiters of truth, the MSM (or Main Stream Media for normies), and George Papadapoulos' Twitter renaissance. Oh and Werner Herzog interviews Alex Jones on our show.

Episode 7: The Great Reddit Bans of 2018 - feat. Travis View

Jared Holt (journalist for Right Wing Watch, host of the SH!TPOST Podcast) joins Jake’s & Julian to discuss his contribution to getting Infowars banned from multiple platforms, that sweet sweet George Soros money, whether it’s alright to trust corporations to regulate speech, the time Alex Jones called him a Nazi in public, and what the deal is with this pesky FISA declassification stage show that keeps entertaining the QAnon community.

Episode 8: The Information Wars feat. Jared Holt

Joined on this one by Nathan Bernard, who tells us about founding Bernard Media, working with Vic Berger & Tim Heidecker, being doxxed Gavin McGuiness & his Proud Boys, smeared by Mike Cernovich, and bitched at by Ben Shapiro. We talk about Vladislav Surkov and our age of post-information, comedy in the age of whatever you want to call this hell, and probably you, buddy.

Episode 9: Doxxed But Not Forgotten Feat. Nathan Bernard

Jordan Uhl joins us to talk about the Compassion Party, a Q-believing, hyper-religious, pro-marijuana, anti-abortion party running candidates in Rhode Island — who were arrested the day after we recorded this episode with 48 pounds of weed. We then move on to Jordan's amazing Go Fund Me for a New Jersey man who was videotaped shaving on a commuter train (by some asshole). Other topics: homelessness, poverty, Bernie, and reasons for the rise of the QAnon movement.

Episode 10: The Compassion Party Feat. Jordan Uhl

Robbie Martin of Media Roots Radio guides the listener through the history of the infamous 'Israeli Art Student' spy ring that was identified by the DEA in an official leaked document from 2000 and how this spy ring crosses over with the illicit global MDMA/Ecstasy trade, the 9/11 hijackers in Florida and possibly dozens of Mossad cut-out operations operating inside the United States. 

In the episode we provide an exclusive report from Dancesafe.org co-founder Emanuel Sferios about his own encounter with the Israeli spy ring in 1999.

Additional documentation, video clips and pointers were provided by researchers Jon Gold and DJ Thermal Detonator

*Opening track is 'Alien Disco' by Cosmosis from 1996

*Robbie incorrectly says the Dancesafe.org office was in San Francisco, CA, it was actually located in Oakland, CA

*Robbie incorrectly refers to Urban Moving as 'Urban Moving Systems' several times before realizing his error

Ecstasy, Israeli Art Students & the Mossad

[Experiment] Trying the Shure MV88 mic on a iPhone for field recording (nature).   Not that I would want to do this very often, but it could be useful when better mics/recorders are not available in a given moment.   The photo shows the location where this recording was made (holding the iPhone, standing about 5 feet from the grass in lower middle of photo).

[Setup] Shure MV88 on an iPhone 10 with foam windscreen. Settings on app:  mid-side mode, max compression, flat EQ,   The quality is not bad for what it is.

The Shure MV88 is *not* a sensitive mic and certainly not great for nature field recording.  The manual even says it was designed to record in very loud environments like concerts, so it would not be good for recording a quiet soundscape.   However, for loud environments it seems OK.   These cricket frogs were so loud that I wore the headphones for ear protection even when not recording.  Without ear protection the frog calls were painfully loud (to give an idea of the ambient sound levels being recorded).

BTW, on an iPhone X I was not able to find a way to monitor audio while recording.  Gain was set by watching the meter on the app.  On phones that have plug-in headphones, apparently there is a way to monitor audio while recording.
