QAnon Anonymous

In the early 20th Century narratives about “white slavery” led to creation of the White-Slave Traffic Act of 1910, which was wielded by the U.S. federal government to police sexuality. These narratives also helped fuel the growth of the FBI in its early days. But before these narratives arrived in the United States, they first grew in Victorian England. To help expose the horrible truth of the underground sex trade, Evangelical feminist activists fighting for better treatment of prostitutes and the protection of children found common cause with an unscrupulous London journalist named William Stead. But Stead was more interested in selling newspapers than the truth. The result was a horrifying scandal that involved Stead kidnapping a 13 year girl and a deformed narrative about sex trafficking that rippled through history long after his death.

Trickle Down Episode 3: White Slavery (Part 1) Sample

Americans added their own twist to white slavery narratives around the turn of the century. They placed a greater emphasis on the threat of immigration. The new flow of immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe made middle class Americans anxious about the changing ethnic character of the country. This growing fear was seized upon by President Teddy Roosevelt’s Immigration Bureau inspector: Marcus Braun. Braun, himself an immigrant from Hungary, traveled the country investigating white slavery. His shocking report was echoed by a congressional investigation. This provided all the pretext necessary for the creation White Slave Traffic Act in 1910. “White slavery” became much more than a narrative. It was law with which the federal government could enforce its version of sexual morality.

Trickle Down Episode 4: White Slavery (Part 2) Sample

When it comes to possession, we’re used to hearing stories about the demonic variety. But there’s another side to it: those anointed by the Holy Spirit in religious movements such as Pentecostalism. This type of possession crescendos to ecstatic states, along with spastic movements, snake and fire handling, poison drinking, and faith healing. And in this rare case, a murder done in the name of God. This is the story of one of the most bizarre, depraved, & little-known acts of spirit possession ever committed: Appalachia’s first & only case of ritual sacrifice. Was spirit possession really to blame for the Unknown Tongue Cult murder? And as a chaser, Jake tells the tragic/comic story of George Went Hensley, the man responsible for popularizing snake handling at church. Can you guess how that one ends?

The Spectral Voyager Episode 4: The Cult of Unknown Tongues (Sample)

We finally did a UFO episode, and it’s our retelling of one of the most confounding and mysterious cases on record: The Socorro Saucer. This case has all the makings of a cognitive conundrum: a credible main witness (Lonnie Zamora), secondary witnesses, physical evidence, the Air Force classifying it as unknown, and a lack of convincing alternate explanations. This UFOlogical tale is told in parallel with the story of the Jacques Cousteau of UFOs (and channeler of ascended masters), the swaggiest researcher of them all, Ray Stanford… who also found dinosaurs in a NASA parking lot. Featuring an interview with journalist skeptic-believer D. Dean Johnson.

The Spectral Voyager Episode 6: The Socorro Saucer (Sample)

In past QAA cryptid episodes, we typically find a creature thought to be real, but then is later debunked by modern science.  For this week’s Spectral Voyager, we thought it would be interesting to do the opposite:  Start with a creature once believed to be a myth, until scientists were able to actually prove its existence.  The Giant Squid has fascinated Jake since he was a young boy, and he, Brad, and Julian will pour through the animal’s legendary sightings dating all the way back to the fifteen hundreds.  Follow us along on the nearly five hundred year journey to prove the existence of one of the greatest mysteries the ocean has to offer us.  We’ll also be exploring the Mokele-Mbembe in Brad’s “Cryptid Corner” – a potentially prehistoric reptile that might very well haunt Lake Tele, deep in the jungles of Africa.

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
