    Fear And Sheriffs In Las Vegas feat. David Gilbert (E276)

    Fear And Sheriffs In Las Vegas feat. David Gilbert (E276)

    So-called “Constitutional Sheriffs” fancy themselves as the real life version of Judge Dredd: the ultimate arbiters of the law according to their interpretation of the Constitution. Recently the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) held a conference in Las Vegas. Among the speakers were regular features of the podcast disgraced former General Michael Flynn, convicted former County Clerk Tina Peters, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

    Our guest WIRED reporter David Gilbert attended the conference, and he told us all about what he saw at this gathering of conspiracists and pseudolaw enthusiasts.

    Premium Episode 241: Radium Toothpaste (Sample)

    On June 13th, 1996, the leader of a Long Island UFO group was charged with conspiracy to poison local conservative leaders with the most absurdly deranged of methods. His motive? Retribution for the political cover-up of UFO activity in the area. Brad Abrahams joins us to tell this bizarre and melancholy tale of the alien obsessed John J. Ford. We unravel if John really was criminally insane, or if he was entrapped for getting too close to a real life, albeit more terrestrial cover-up. Jake reads some powerful UFO poetry, Travis daydreams about arcane murder methods, and Julian cowers in fear from his secretly sadistic co-hosts. It’s time to squeeze out some phosphorescent toothpaste and enjoy an episode of the Long Island X-Files.

    Anti-Chemtrails Laws feat. Teddy Wilson (E275)

    Anti-Chemtrails Laws feat. Teddy Wilson (E275)

    Though the “chemtrails” conspiracy theory has long been dismissed by scientists, aviation experts, and other skeptics, the Tennessee legislature has taken it very seriously. On April 11th, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed into law SB2691, which bans the ‘intentional injection, release, or dispersion’ of chemicals within Tennessee ‘with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight.” Though the law doesn’t explicitly use the word chemtrails, it was inspired by chemtrail conspiracy theorists.

    On this episode we talk to independent journalist Teddy Wilson of Radical Reports about the anti-chemtrails bills in Tennessee and other state legislatures.

    Premium Episode 240: The Machines Are Lying To You (Sample)

    Even in the early conversations discussing the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, there was always the fear that it could potentially fall into the wrong hands. Unfortunately, the QAA team is here to tell you that it has. It is definitely already in the wrong hands. And that’s mostly due to the fact that sophisticated AI algorithms are available to anyone with an internet connection. Conspiracy theorists have a brand-new tool at their disposal to further muddy the waters between what is real and what is not.

    But it wasn’t always this way. Jake tracks the humble beginnings of AI interacting with social media users while Travis breaks down how it's been used to mess with our brains more recently. One thing is clear however, AI is here to stay… and it has already replaced the QAA hosts.

Update

Used to be a favorite but since the addition of Liv, the quality has gone downhill.

Entertaining Take on the Conspiracist Lunacy

Always enjoyable until they start talking about the ME, a subject they clearly have no expertise in. Thankfully FF exists, so I can continue to learn about what the nuttier part of our society is up to.
Gotta laugh to keep from crying.

Hosts need to grip harder

Actually, there have never been suicide jokes on this podcast. And if there were, they would have made them on accident. And if they did it on purpose, it would have been extremely cool and funny.
