    After a year of research Sebbe, Ghost Stories For the End of the World and myself are finally able to bring you the Interpol investigation! The least scrutinized spy and intel apparatus in the world is about to be a bit more scrutinized. Why does it have more members than the UN for example?

    Bonus#25. "Fourth Reich Political Theology" Part II - Side A

    Here is as promised the next episode of my ongoing collaboration about Political Theology with the Fourth Reich Archeology podcast. To unlock the whole thing you can sign up on patreon and access the entire archive of episodes and series. ##Original episode notes ##We are back with another installment of our ongoing series Fourth Reich Political Theology with Marcus from the Return of the Repressed podcast. Recall that in our opening salvo of this series, we laid the foundation for our excavation by exploring how the superstitious religious worldview of the feudal world order was superimposed onto the capitalist world order with “The Market” playing the role of God. The same way that serfs and peasants lived their lives in awe and default belief of a vengeful deity, we today implicitly believe in the mysterious market forces we are told move the earthly cosmos beyond the will of man. This episode picks up right where we left off, expanding outwards on what we covered in part 1 to reach beyond the “earthly philosophers” of bourgeois political economy (Smith, Bentham, et al.), to the German Idealists from Kant to the so-called neo-Kantains, to the early sociologists, to the man of the hour himself, Carl Schmitt. In our journey, we draw heavily on Georg Lukacs “The Destruction of Reason” to trace the thread of irrationalism through all liberal political philosophizing.  Lukacs and Schmitt see eye to eye when it comes to the hypocrisy and incoherence of Western bourgeois liberal democracy. After all, rule of by and for the bourgeoisie–and the exploitation and domination of the proletariat that entails–cannot really pursue the objectives of liberté, egalité, and fraternité. That would destroy the special privileges enjoyed by the ruling class. But from the same observation, Schmitt and Lukacs proceed in polar opposite directions. Schmitt would strip back the pretense of institutional norms in favor of the rule of raw power, which he supported in his advocacy for and membership in the Nazi party. Lukacs, good Marxist that he was, would instead expose the exploitive nature of the state and the society and, developing class consciousness through praxis, expropriate the ruling class in favor of the dictatorship of the proletariat.  It’s another incredible conversation with Marcus, and one that has real practical implications for today when we once again find ourselves in what Schmitt called “the state of exception” where the sovereign alone makes the rules… Return of the Repressed Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheReturnOfTheRepressed Fourth Reich Archaeology Patreon: patreon.com/fourthreicharchaeology

    #84. Christmas Special. "Amalthea 1908: Red Terrorism in Sweden" Featuring the Komintern Podcast

    In 1908 Sweden was one of the poorest countries of Europe, the serf system (statare) was still in place, almost a quarter of the population had left for America, only Norway and Ireland saw people fleeing in greater numbers, those who stayed behind organized and the Swedish proletariat became during that decade one of the most prone to strike and violent action in the western world. In 1906 the Christmas or "December Compromise" had been signed by the social democrats and the industrialists. They sought to avoid a "Bloody Sunday" incident like the one in Russia the previous year. The compromise was considered by many a back-stab, for it gave the employers rather than the unions right to manage and allocate work and to freely hire and dismiss employees at whim. As the class struggle intensified the industrialists began hiring British strike-breakers in the multiple thousands. The strike-breakers where armed and dangerous, but though their violence was as a rule acquitted by the bourgeois courts, three young communists began planning to take justice in their own hands and show the traitors who was boss.

    Happy New Year everyone! Hope you are doing good. To start of the new year with something different, here is a screen recording of me making the latest skull boys episode cover. I have never made a tutorial like this before so I didn't know whether to simply make an overview for general gist or to make something which those inclined could follow as teaching material. I'm happy to make more in the future so let me know if you have questions or requests on what to show in a video like this.

    [PREVIEW]#83. The Skull Boys s02e03 "The Männerbund"

    This is a preview of the latest Skull Boys episode. You can unlock the entire episode here on patreon which I'm sure you would enjoy and it would support me financially so that I can keep doing this, hope you are getting some free time during Christmas and New Year. Original episode description: We have now in this series finally arrived at the episode that many of you have been waiting for. The episode about the mysterious Männerbund. We are picking up an old thread fist explored in the Stargate Conspiracy with Reid and Colin but also elaborated upon and hinted at in the first season of the Skull Boys. There are many of you who suspect that Joe Rogan's fame is not the consequence of organic development. We will never know just how that ascension took place but we can study the history of this think tank's knowledge production. The first person to ever come on to the show to attempt to lay forth a cosmology if you like, that is to say a guest who was not one of Rogans comedy buddies or MMA pals, was according to Rogan and the man himself, Graham Hancock. Exploring the idea-historical roots and the personal linage of Hancock, we will take to you to the early days of the great proto-fascistic split of the Theosophical Society in the early 1900s. We will take you to the days of Blavatsky's coming-on-to-the-scene in the 1870s and deeper still to the Spiritualist genesis in March 31, 1848, f**k it, we will take you back to the first arioheroic Swastikalers as they went underground during the masonic bans of the late 1700s. And we will show why Rogan has been told to tell his followers to believe in the strength of the Männerbund. So get out that Christmas drink or spliff or long distance walking boots because I know you will enjoy this one. PS. I made a 5 hour! long screen recording of me making tonight's episode cover art but somehow the file was corrupted and so I will have to make you another version of that screen recording in a short while to show you how I go about making these.

    [PREVIEW]#82. The Skull Boys s02e02 "The Cradle of Swords- PART II"

    We are right now in a moment when the roaring twenties of our time have finally begun to roar. And the weltgeist is screaming at the top of its voice, about a perversion which we have allowed to fester among the members of the ruling class through our conformity for much too long. We have forgotten to remind them of our dissatisfaction. Thus every screen and newspaper now displays for all to see Die Wiederkehr des Verdrängten. Lacan said once apropo hedonism that there is nothing subversive about losing one's shame. He did this to counter a prevailing myth of his times. It was believed by many in the 60s that perversion was more subversive than hysteria. The idea was that a pervert in his lack of shame can show you how man really is. Unrestrained by normative emotions about right or wrong the cynic tells a higher truth, and makes the great escape from the law without getting caught.  But analysis showed that perversion was not “simply an aberration in relation to social criteria, an anomaly contrary to good morals, although this register is not absent, nor is it an atypicality according to natural criteria, namely that it more or less goes astray from the reproductive finality of the sexual union. It is something else in its very structure. The exhibitionist, the pederast, or the sadist does not care about the wishes of the other, the prostitute, the child is a puppet in their fantasy. Authenticity is neither an issue nor a problem in perversion. Only the neurotic and the psychotic worries whether the Other's desire and manifestation of lust is authentic.  Freud, who through his practice had been granted access to an empirical archive which contained statements and confessions of the vices of the Wienese ruling class, had drawn a similar conclusion. Practicing analysis with non metaphysical entities, that is to say bodily analysands with real trauma. Hurting people rather than eternal archetypes of human nature or dolls in the astral realm he realised that; “never is the unconscious as inaccessible as in perversion.”  For how could they learn about their own becoming when love is an unfortunate project of wanting to be that which the beloved loves, and they instead in their isolation never take the time to wonder what the others might dream about. At the same time that Freud came to these conclusions Arthur Schnitzler's a few blocks away in 1926 wrote the short shorty Traumnovelle which was the basis for Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. Here the primitive horde dressed in black tie organises enjoyment around the violation of a prohibition, trying to gain access to an impossible thing, Das Ding, a tabu driven jouissance. But this totem feast only fixes the tabu as to identify the violation of the prohibition and libidinally charge it, it does not transcend it and the pervert never breaks free, hears instead the name-of-the-father even more intrusively, hears his law as if it was his own.   The rituals performed in the manual of Crowley or the Saturnalia brotherhood are a para-praxis, they are pseudo activities, designed to fool the perpetrator. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law" simply means that the pervert tries to resolve the conflict between desire and Law by making desire the law of his acts. The pervert's enjoyment consists in challenging the law, but not with the intention of changing it. The pervert is not a revolutionary. The masks, the capes, the jargon and the carnivalesque celebration of the forbidden, obfuscates and eventually forbids the unconscious symptom from expressing itself, that the masters are slaves to their own desires by choice. The time has come to take off their masks and lead them with eyes wide open to the real name of the father that is not the analyst's couch but the guillotine, the garrote of the people that must slowly press against the marrow structure of this exploitation.
