Also, I doubly entreat you to visit the Patreon because I only get 4k characters to work with in the Spotify editor and these notes are missing a couple hundred more words of topical, thematic, and character indexing I put together for Read-Alongers: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping The Klonny has Returned from his podcast-sabbatical as a motorcycle diarist in Latin America to guide you through a decryption of Pynchon’s likely swan song Shadow Ticket, sifting through the subtext to surface the loaded deep political index-names that will help us construct the text-within-the-text (or perhaps ParaPower Map, better yet). In this episode, we synopsize the Milwaukee and Chicago sequences that make up the first half of the novel, zeroing in on the Prohibition era para-parastatal underworld of speakeasies, bootlegger tunnels, and subterranean dynamiter labs and the adjacent rhizome of socialist saloons, Galleanisti anarcho-clubhouses, and union locals in Cream City. We examine how Pynchon’s Reformed Detective Shadowing Cheese Heiress mystery is partly a cipher for the ways in which Capone’s Chicago Outfit and their Milwaukee Mob affiliates sought to complete “transformismo” and earn assimilation into the white color criminal realm of the ruling elite during the Depression’s socioeconomic crisis and contraction, gaining favor through the loyal rendering of anticommunist strikebreaking and labor racketeering services. This tacit deal between the ChiTown upper and underworlds is a minor skeleton key to much of 20th century deep politics by way of the Outfit’s Joe Kennedy ties, the JFK assassination, Sam Giancana’s involvement in the Fidel Assassination Prank Show, GLADIO, and beyond. We start to coalesce theories for why Pynchon is pointing us in this direction including the blatant 1930s - 2020s encroaching fascism parallels; the less-traveled counterinsurgent history of the Pinkertons, J. Edgar Hoover’s early proving of mettle circa Palmer Raids, and the First Red Scare and the way in which there are telling deep event continuities to be traced from the early 1900s to McCarthyism and Cointelpro, early experiments in the strategy of tension playbook; the Bureaus of Investigation and Prohibition and their Wars on Alcohol, Crime, and the Left (including the anti-immigrant and anti-communist targeting of proletarian taverns) and how the Interwar Period gave rise to the modern surveillance and carceral apparatuses; and the secret colonial histories and conflict economies buried inside mundane commodities like cheese and milk.  Incomplete List of Sources (may update): Gus Russo - The Outfit: The Role of Chicago’s Underworld in The Shaping of Modern America James B.

  2. TikTok Takeover in the Burger Reich ft. James Rehwald - PREVIEW

    TikTok Takeover in the Burger Reich ft. James Rehwald - PREVIEW

    SUB TO THE PPM PATREON TO HEAR THE EXCLUSIVE ADVANCE RELEASE OF THIS NEARLY 4 HR EPISODE NOW: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping To discuss the state of communist and socialist counter-propaganda and indoctrination efforts on TikTok and the possible impacts of the imminent TikTok-Oracle-Fox merger, I’m joined by James Rehwald of MeansTV, the creator of many viral, info-laden, Marxist quote heavy, anti-imperialist TikTok sketches such as: “Join the CIA Today” “The War Machine” “Is Israeli Food Even Real?” “When you ‘vote’ the imperialism & fascism away” and more. James is someone whose videos I’ve garnered enjoyment and edification from for a few years now and I’d been planning to ask him to come on the show for a minute once I became aware we had a mutual appreciation on Twitter, but the combo of the acquisition, Leavitt’s comments the other day, and a previous interaction we had re world's sometimes wealthiest man Larry Ellison hastened my decision to hit him up and congealed the idea of attacking these topics together in my mind, and I can think of no one better to do so with. This is also a bit of an impromptu AmerIsraeli Years of Lead and PAWG aka Palantir Apartheid w/ White Gov session spurred forward by said recently assembled Zio·nist consortium’s imminent TikTok takeover at Trump and the Israel lobby's behest. The logic behind this episode tying into our ongoing paying of heed to the AmerIsraeli Years of Lead is due to the fact that the Trump admin seems to be using the recent Charlie Kirk assassination / deep event as a pretext for retraining TikTok’s algorithm to further suppress leftist content on the platform as illustrated by Press Secretary Leavitt. Said presser also fielded questions regarding Trump’s decision to have the Bigfoot-esque, cryptid "insurgent movement" called “antifa” designated a domestic terrorist organization—which is, in its present iteration, mostly a fiction or else a mask donned by Gladioperators. Amongst that and the announcement of the Autism Action Plan (lol), Press Sec Leavitt also spoke to the TikTok acquisition, stating that, if the deal as presently outlined goes through, the app’s US operations would be taken over by a majority American owned consortium helmed by vampiric, Bryan Johnson-financing multibillionaire Larry Ellison and populated by a number of Zio·nist national and cybersecurity experts, that Ellison’s company Oracle will serve as TikTok’s “trusted security provider”, that the servers would all be physically located in the States “without access from China”, and that the algorithm would ultimately be retrained, naturally leading to even more oppressive censorship of leftist and anti-Zionist dissent on the platform. Our convo takes a three-pronged approach (in reverse order): We expend some time and energy ParaPower Mapping the acquisition consortium together and situating it within a larger geo-and-deep political context, laying out the ways in which Ellison, Oracle, Michael Dell, the Murdochs, Fox, Andreessen-Horowitz, and Silver Lake and indirect industry and congressional backers of the Ban-Tok Bill like Alex Karp and Anthony Goldbloom and Rep. Gallagher are marked by deeply entrenched Zio·nist ideology and are inextricably entangled with the gen·ocidal, apartheid Entity We discuss our TikTok prognoses and what the deal may mean for online anti-hasbara action And I also pick James's brain re his experience as a leftist content creator; how he's harnessed video-making to promulgate postcolonial, anti-Zionist, and Marxist ideology; his writing process and the development of his distinctive, whimsically DIY, Hardboiled Nerf Gun style; and any advice he's willing to give to fellow traveling creators SUPPORT JAMES REHWALD: https://www.patreon.com/JamesRehwald https://means.tv/programs/james-rehwald FULL NOTES ON PATREON

  3. Charlie Kirkkk Klipping Stream-of-Klonsciousness w/ Ben Avery of Lemon Party

    Charlie Kirkkk Klipping Stream-of-Klonsciousness w/ Ben Avery of Lemon Party

    Sub to the PPM Patreon to support our deep political research efforts: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping Salutations, Cork Board Cadres, it's Klonny, back again, this time w/ Ben Avery of Lemon Party and the benavery.live program in tow, who very generously permitted me to crosspost our conversation from last night's livestream to the PPM feed. Before we go any further, a note regarding the audio quality: I had to call into this one on my phone due to a confluence of technical events related to microphone privilege errors on Zencastr / my Chrome browser. Because of this, my audio is, sadly, subpar and crackly; Ben's is much smoover and golden. So apologies and appreciate you bearing with me. Thankfully, though, the show has been growing fairly precipitously of late, so I think I will be able to afford some significant studio upgrades in the near future. Anyways, I'm going to keep the notes short, sweet, and to the point. I was testing out the comedic livestream medium here, and so in comparison to our more routine fare, this episode is, in the words of show friendo Falling Man, "mostly just K-Man ripping and riffing". I was wired and may have been annoyingly talkative, but it is a verbal medium after all. That said, we hit a number of aspects of the spectacular Kirkkk Klipping deep event that we didn't touch on previously, a small sampling of which include: The Ka$h Patel and Dan Bongino ineptitude exhibition at the Bureau and how they stand to benefit from hanging an albatross around some scapegoat's neck; Patel's Mossadist honeypot, Prager U gf and the hot water Kash is in due to him getting caught out at a Beltway eatery on the night of the assassination; the diversionary crisis actor gadfly patsy George Zinn and his longtime relationship with the GOP circa the Reagan Admin + those Craig Spence halcyon days and his repeated bomb hoax, etc run ins with the law; George Zinn's highly suspect CSAM charge and the Paddock brothers / Vegas shooting parallels; UWU - UVU memetic synchronicities; alleged shooter Tyler Robinson dazed and glazing over at his hearing, giving serious Manchurian Patsy vibes; the "radical left trans fursona Hamas" limhang conspiracy coverup that the Trump admin is pushing and the insanely blatant poison pen keyboard Discord/text message exchanges between Tyler Robinson and his supposed furrby sweetheart Lancelotte Twiggs (Pynchon much?) that are stuffed w/ AI-sounding incriminating deets; the potential Luigi Mangione and Tyler Robinson death penalty sentences as barometers of just how draconian the algorithmic predictive police state is going to get in the very near future... And from there, we diverge into about 30 or so odd minutes on the overlapping Diddy & Epstein nexuses in anticipation of his sentencing hearings, which are coming up real quick like in October and may coincide with the Mangione and Robinson cases.

    PREVIEW - Charlie Kirk as Groyp Wessel in.... "The Night of the Long Gums" w/ Tarence Ray from Trillbilly Worker's Party

    Sub to the PPM Patreon to hear the entirety of our hour and a half Kirk Clipping spectacle deep dive: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping I sat down with Tarence Ray from Trillbilly Worker's Party, a true left podcasting wordsmith, to interrogate the Charlie Kirk assassination aka the Killing of the Kirk spectacle aka the Burger Reichstag Fire aka the Martyrdom of Groyp Wessel aka the Night of the Long Gums... I'm referring to the sniping of the Millennial Buckley Jr. esque campus culture warrior at Utah Valley University two days ago. Be mindful that this was recorded early on the 12th of September with smoke still clearing and dust settling, so information and musings contained herein are subject to change and revision considering how erratically the situation has been developing. We explore the ensuing propaganda fracas; the identity of the most recent suspect Tyler Robinson and his possible military uncle and alleged Discord-to-Kill, America First indoctrination; the AmerIsraeli Years of Lead and Eddington parallels; the Epstein Bday Album and Bibi's suspiciously timed "get ahead of Isntreali-triggered deep event" conservative media tour; who stands to benefit?; Mormon Central and the Latter Day Saints in the CIA; backroom Trumpworld power struggles; Peter Thiel, Musk, and Palantir; AI psychosis and the DARPA-machine of Tension; Groyper Wars; some of the positively deranged TikTokslop that has issued forth, like the Polynesian Mormon Eldertiktok character who soyfaced on live immediately after the shooting and expropriated Kirk merch; the prescience of Pynchon's Bleeding Edge and Inherent Vice; and a whole lot more. I may yet update the liner notes later, but this is all you're getting for now because I stayed up until like 4 AM to get this thing off the ground and airborne.

    Eddington Conspiracy Cork Board (Pt. I): An AmerIsraeli Years of Lead Western Yarn

    Sub to the Patreon to support the show and access the entire 2nd part of PPM's subtextual analysis of Eddington as soon as it drops: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping In which we decode Eddington’s subtextual conspiracy themes, endeavoring to argue that the new Ari Aster is perhaps the first major, theatrically released film to have accurately encapsulated the essence of the technocratic AmerIsraeli Years of Lead—in accordance with my personal timeline of the ongoing deep political era that would place its inception around Covid time—and the Silicon Valley capitalist elite's embrace of strategy of tension in the cybernetic service of of updating America's Total Info Awareness 2.0 operating system and the installation of their long planned predictive policing panopticon. We discuss: why the appearance of the globo "Antifa PMCs" isn't actually crypto-MAGA chicanery (seeing as they are Gladio operators); Joaquin Phoenix's turn as Sheriff Joe Cross, a Gen X, mumblecore, adoptive son of Sheriff Joe Arpaio type; Eddington as Nashville esque ensemble comedy cum Coen Brothers Covid Wester with the accompanying masking/social distancing standoffs; diagnosing the alienation and social media siloing of the wokespeak & QAnon brain rot of that hot 2020 summer; the role of calibrated algorithmic control; Sheriff Cross's Israeli Civil Guard pin in the OG script; the unfortunate executive production of Len Blavatnik, the Zio·nist billionaire "philanthropist" tied to Brett Ratner, Weinstein, the Bronfmans, etc, mulling whether he might have vetoed the inclusion of that visual gag on Sheriff Joe's regalia vest; the Solidgoldmagikarp Proposed Hyperscale Data Center project, the underlying Pynchon-esque real estate development and land and water use conspiracy; the schizophrenic drifter character Lodge, who opens the film, and his Homeric oracle qualities, spiritually warning against the onset of the Age of AI-quarius; Mike the One Armed Man from Twin Peaks comparisons; Pynchonian Lodge puns; Chekhov's Cough; Louise Cross, Sheriff Cross's wife, the one other farsighted character, and her haldol prescription, evoking Twin Peaks again; a demonic Mark Zuckerberg hinted at as one of the shadowy backers of the Solidgoldmagikarp Data Center in the earlier draft; Gov. Grisham making it into the film by way of an honorary watch and Covid headlines; the David Dees vibe of the cell towers in the opening sequence and various 5G diatribes; Aster lurking on Twitter; an earlier version of the second scene in which Sheriff Cross wrestles with Officer Butterfly Jimenez over who gets to investigate the self-immolation death of a paraplegic conspiracy Youtuber named Mitchell and the Native school uniforms discovered in his accessible van (evoking Missing Indigenous Children); the film's abiding interest in the neocultures that have cropped up around QAnon & pedo-hunters; borderlands and issues of jurisdiction between the Sevilla Co. Sheriff and the Santa Lupe Pueblo Tribal Officers; Cesar Chavez & Dolores Huerta's (a New Mexican) Hispanic borderlands community union LUPE aka La Union de Pueblo Entero aka The Union of the Whole People; Santa Lupe Pueblo = SLP = Speech Language Pathologist?; the neighboring, colonized tribal peoples, at their slight remove from Eddington and Treatlerite American society moreover, being the observers best prepared to pathologize the alienation and atomization and societal decay taking hold in the town over Covid; in regards Speech Language Pathologists, the ever-present theme of miscommunication and the deterioration of consensus reality caused by social media echo chamber-induced myopia, as well as the specter of LLMs or Large Language Models; "Solidgoldmagikarp" alluding to AI & ChatGPT tokens that cause anomalous or erratic behavior...

  6. PREVIEW - AmerIsraeli Yarvin of Lead: A Covert History of the Technofeudal Thielite Pseud Curtis Yarvin

    PREVIEW - AmerIsraeli Yarvin of Lead: A Covert History of the Technofeudal Thielite Pseud Curtis Yarvin

    Subscribe to one of the paid tiers on the PPM Patreon to access "AmerIsraeli Yarvin of Lead" in its entirety: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping Picking our AmerIsraeli Years of Lead & PayPal Mafia Occupied Gov't investigation back up, we begin by synopsizing some of the basics of Curtis Yarvin’s Neoreactionary (NRx) politics. We then move into an incomplete parapower mapping of his influence on the current Trump administration and their PayPal Mafia benefactors, illustrating how Elon’s DOGE is the direct successor of Yarvin’s RAGE concept. We detail how his Thiel backed distributed message board software Urbit is basically a repackaging of Usenet. We then shift gears into into the ironic psychodrama of Yarvin’s advocacy for a government bureaucracy-purging coup by virtue of his father Herbert’s multi-decade "Foreign Service" career. This brings us to one of the primary fulcrums of this investigation, the reasonable-but-thus-far unverifiable suspicion that Herbert Yarvin may have actually been a CIA officer/agent or analyst under diplomatic cover, and the reality that, either way, Curtis Yarvin is a kind of spooky deep state nepo-baby, context that should reorient perspectives when it comes to his pseud career as a theorist of “Cathedral” disruption. We then gloss some evidence supporting Herbert-Yarvin-as-Company-man by way of his Brown University Philosophy program peer Arnold Cusmariu, who worked as an philosophical analyst for the agency for more than 3 decades, much of which overlapped with Yarvin’s Foreign Service career. We layout how a PoliSci faculty member named Lyman Kirkpatrick, who happened to be former top brass at the CIA and a onetime DCI hopeful, attempted to recruit Arnold Cusmariu in the ‘70s, showing that there is a high probability that Curtis Yarvin's Dad and Arnold knew each other by way of their shared thesis faculty advisor Ernest Sosa, increasing the chances they may have been part of the same Company cohort (we also hint at the void of evidence supporting Curtis’ Mom’s purported State career, which could be suspicious in its own right). We then discuss how both Curtis and his brother Norman were “gifted & talented” students and the recipients of scholarships from the State Department and that Curtis even partook in this groundbreaking longitudinal Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth at Johns Hopkins as a preteen, which was administered by the Godfather of the nationwide gifted ed programs of the late ‘80s, ‘90s, and early ‘00s... Which is intriguing considering some of Yarvin's fellow alumni Precocious Math study alumni are Epstein affiliate Sergey Brin (2 months younger than Curtis) and Mark Zuckerberg. We also examine his child prodigy escapades through the prism of online rumors that GATE was basically a covert CIA mind control talent search. We draw some loose deep politics comparisons to figures like Michael Riconosciuto, Ted Kaczynski, Jack Sarfatti, and the strategy of tension theorists.

Consider this the précis or prelims for an even lengthier investigation. Brief note: apologies the show has been in dormant stasis for about the last month. I have been recovering from walking pneumonia over the past three weeks, which majorly hamstrung my productivity, while simultaneously navigating various travels including a handful of days camping in 100 F degree heat while pneumococcal, tech issues (my phone and 5 years of data were completely wiped), and stressors born of pretty significant, prospective life changes that appear to be around the corner. Anyways, no woe is me, just feel I owed you all an explanation. I've stayed busy with my research during that time, but it was hard to manage the recording & editing process for a bit there.

  8. No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson - An Interview with Gardiner Harris

    11 APR.

    No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson - An Interview with Gardiner Harris

    An interview with investigative journalist Gardiner Harris regarding his newly released exposé No More Tears that unpacks Johnson & Johnson's white collar criminality, murderous corporate malfeasance, and myriad coverup conspiracies that have left millions dead. Support the show by subscribing to the PPM Patreon and gain access to a bonus, solo ep that explores Gardiner's father's fascinating career as a bureau chief at Time Inc. and protege of spooky, anticommunist publisher Henry Luce (a mini-primer on Luce's myriad ties to intelligence, Cuban paramilitaries, Gladio via his wife Clare Boothe Luce, and the JFK assassination): patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping ***One day in 2004, Gardiner Harris, a pharmaceutical reporter for The New York Times, was early for a flight and sat down at an airport bar. He struck up a conversation with the woman on the barstool next to him, who happened to be a drug sales rep for Johnson & Johnson. Her horrific story about unethical sales practices and the devastating impact they’d had on her family fundamentally changed the nature of how Harris would cover the company—and the entire pharmaceutical industry. His subsequent investigations and ongoing research since that very first conversation led to this book—a blistering exposé of a trusted American institution and the largest healthcare conglomerate in the world.Harris takes us light-years away from the company’s image as the child-friendly “baby company” as he uncovers reams of evidence showing decades of deceitful and dangerous corporate practices that have threatened the lives of millions. He covers multiple disasters: lies and cover-ups regarding the link of Johnson’s Baby Powder to cancer, the surprising dangers of Tylenol, a criminal campaign to sell antipsychotics that have cost countless lives, a popular drug used to support cancer patients that actually increases the risk that cancer tumors will grow, and deceptive marketing that accelerated opioid addictions through their product Duragesic (fentanyl) that rival even those of the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma.Filled with shocking and infuriating but utterly necessary revelations, No More Tears is a landmark work of investigative journalism that lays bare the deeply rooted corruption behind the image of babies bathing with a smile. *** Songs: | The Chemical Brothers - "The Pills Won't Help You Now" | | Spiritualized - "Medication" |
