This briefing document synthesizes the main themes and important ideas presented in the provided excerpts from various online sources. The analysis reveals a complex web of interconnected narratives encompassing geopolitical conflicts, alleged conspiracies, historical revisionism, and technological anxieties.
I. Geopolitical Conflicts and International Relations:
Several sources focus on current and potential geopolitical flashpoints, particularly involving Iran, Israel, Russia, and the West.
Potential War with Iran: Both LewRockwell and henrymakow.com discuss the prospect of a war with Iran. LewRockwell cites analysis suggesting a war on Iran "Would Be No Cakewalk" and notes Trump seemingly seeks "Russian Support for War on Iran," potentially by offering to end the Ukraine proxy war. However, Russia, backed by China ("China’s foreign minister Wang Yi... proposed five points ‘on the proper settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue’, which, for all purposes endorsed Tehran’s stance"), appears to reject such a plan, with Foreign Minister Lavrov opposing the inclusion of extraneous issues in nuclear negotiations.
Israel's Role in Gaza: LewRockwell presents the viewpoint that "Israel, Not Hamas, Is Derailing the Gaza Cease-fire and Preventing the Hostages’ Return." Another excerpt from the same site, "Did Israel steal bomb-grade uranium from the United States? NUMEC- Zalman Shapiro – Uranium diversion to Israel, FBI, CIA files," raises serious allegations about past Israeli actions.
Russia and the West: "A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall – From the West Down to the East" on LewRockwell portrays a stark division between Russia/Iran (as BRICS members with a "comprehensive strategic partnership") and a declining, internally fractured West ("EUrotrash"). The author argues that Russia will not allow Israel to attack Iran and views the EU as irrelevant and potentially a "rotten basket of resources" for the US. The conflict in Ukraine is also mentioned, with the EU foreign policy chief's demand for "40 billion euros for ‘military aid’ to country 404" being met with resistance from several European nations. The author also quotes a future "BlackRock chancellor" believing that "Putin has declared war on all of Europe."
The Demonization of the West: Paul Craig Roberts on LewRockwell argues that "The Demonization of Shakespeare Is Part of the Demonization of the West."
II. Conspiracy Theories and Allegations of Hidden Influence:
A significant portion of the sources promotes various conspiracy theories involving secret groups and technologies manipulating world events.
"Voice of God" and Psychotronic Weapons: The Expose article "Audible enclaves, voice-to-skull and the Voice of God" discusses alleged "psychotronic weapons" used to torture "targeted individuals (TIs)." These technologies supposedly include "voice-to-skull (V2K), synthetic telepathy, electronic harassment, microwave hearing, boys-to-school technology, Voice of God weapon and brain-computer interface (BCI)." The "Voice of God" is described as a long-range acoustic device used to project voices into people's heads. The article raises concerns about the potential for these technologies to "censor and control our verbal communication." One commenter suggests these technologies are the "technological version and extension of the occult principle of Wetiko," influenced by "negative entities" and facilitated by 5G/6G technology.
Elon Musk and Jewish Influence: Larry Romanoff's article on henrymakow.com, "Debunking Elon Musk – Part 1 — Building a Legend, One Lie at a Time," alleges that Elon Musk is not a genuine CEO but an "influencer" placed in his position by hidden controllers. The author claims that the practice of universities having lecture series "made possible through a generous endowment" is "almost entirely a Jewish tradition" used to gain influence and naming rights.
Chabad-Lubavitch Conspiracy: Henrymakow.com features the prominent theory that "Trump, Putin and Netanyahu belong to Chabad, a Jewish supremacist cult that advocates the extermination of non-Satanists... using a contrived world war as a pretext." This theory posits that these leaders are "covert 'brotherly' global 'Freemasons'" directed by Chabad to orchestrate global pandemics and a Third World War to usher in a fake Jewish Messiah. Non-Jews are allegedly regarded by this cult as "slaves born to serve elitist Satanic Jews."
The "Egregore" Theory: Another article on henrymakow.com, "Masonic Jews are Their Own God ('Egregore')", suggests that elite Jews form a collective "egregore" (equated with Lucifer) which they want others to worship. The "slave egregore" of non-Jews supposedly exists to serve this Jewish dynastic egregore.
Control by "Black Nobility": stopworldcontrol.com's "vaccinereport.pdf" mentions "13 Italian families or bloodlines, called the 'Black Nobility'" who, along with similar dynasties, consider themselves superior and manipulate governments worldwide through "election fraud, bribery and blackmailing."
Delphi Murders Conspiracy: mileswmathis.com's analysis of the Delphi murders case suggests the involvement of cloaked Air Force intelligence recruits, highlighting inconsistencies in official information.
III. Revisionist Views on World War II and Hitler:
The Unz Review excerpts, "Denouncing Hitler for Very Different Reasons," present a highly revisionist perspective on Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, sparking a heated debate in the comments section.
Arguments for Hitler's Actions: The author argues that Germany was "right to remilitarize the Rhineland" and that the "Anschluss" with Austria was desired by both nations. The claim that "Germany also had legitimate territorial claims on Sudetenland" is made. However, the author condemns Hitler for annexing the rest of Czechoslovakia, arguing it "utterly and permanently discredited himself and the legitimacy of Germany’s many grievances."
Critique of Hitler's Blunders: Despite some justifications, the article heavily criticizes Hitler for "tactical and strategic blunders" that led to Germany's defeat, most notably the declaration of war on the United States while fighting on multiple fronts and the mishandling of the invasion of the Soviet Union (including the failure to treat the population as potential liberators from Bolshevism). The author quotes a German officer decrying the idea of challenging the world as "fatuously stupid."
The Role of "International Jewry": Several commenters on The Unz Review assert that "International Jewry" was a primary instigator of the war against Germany, citing alleged Jewish declarations of war and boycotts in the 1930s. Some argue that Hitler was acting defensively against the "sionistbolshjevic horde."
Hitler as a Tool of Zionism: A particularly extreme viewpoint, echoed by multiple commenters, suggests that Hitler was a tool or even a deliberate agent of Zionism, paradoxically serving Jewish interests by facilitating the creation of Israel and the subjugation of the "Goyim." David Irving is also accused of being a "Jewish provocateur" furthering this agenda.
Sympathy for National Socialism (without Hitler): Some commenters express a view that National Socialism contained valuable principles for the "salvation of European peoples" but that Hitler's leadership and mistakes ultimately undermined these principles. They advocate for separating the positive aspects of National Socialism from the negative legacy of Hitler.
Revisionist History of Czechoslovakia: Commenters challenge the author's account of the annexation of Czechoslovakia, claiming that Slovakia declared independence and that the Czechs sought German protection and economic aid.
Defense of Hitler's Intentions: Some argue that Hitler's intentions were "heroic" and that his failures towards the end were due to factors like drug use. Others defend his military decisions, such as the invasion of the Soviet Union as a preemptive strike.
IV. Technological Concerns and Control:
Beyond alleged psychotronic weapons, other sources touch upon technological anxieties.
Graphene for Brain Manipulation: The stopworldcontrol.com report mentions the use of graphene in "neural interfaces for brain restoration" and suggests its potential for manipulating human thoughts and feelings.
5G/6G and the "Negative Astral Realm": As mentioned earlier, one commenter links the rollout of 5G/6G technology to the occult concept of Wetiko, suggesting it allows negative entities to gain more influence in this dimension.
V. Calls to Action and Ideological Stances:
The sources often carry implicit or explicit ideological messages and calls to action.
Call for Individual Action: LewRockwell features an article urging readers to take personal responsibility and work towards freedom through "a thousand projects in the world around you," regardless of grand political goals.
Anti-Globalist Sentiment: A strong anti-globalist sentiment permeates many of the sources, particularly those discussing conspiracy theories and the perceived decline of the West.
Anti-Semitic Undertones and Explicit Anti-Semitism: Many sources, particularly henrymakow.com and the comments on The Unz Review, exhibit strong anti-Semitic undertones, with some expressing outright anti-Semitic views and blaming "Jews" or "Zionists" for global problems.
Defense of Traditional Values (as perceived): The critique of Weimar Republic's "sexual libertinism" in The Unz Review reflects a defense of traditional moral values.
Religious Interpretations of Current Events: The Expose article offers a Christian eschatological interpretation of current "darkest night of human history," anticipating the "Lord’s Return in glory."
VI. Diet and Health:
A seemingly unrelated excerpt from Joachim Bartoll Official discusses whether "Exogenous Ketones For Improved Sleep Quality," concluding that they are only beneficial if one's diet is poor.
VII. Irony and Sarcasm:
Some articles and comments employ irony and sarcasm to convey their viewpoints, such as the LewRockwell piece titled "DOGE Delusion?" or commenters on The Unz Review using terms like "rabbi Uncle Adolf."
Overall Themes:
The provided sources reveal a landscape of deep distrust in mainstream narratives, institutions, and global power structures. Key recurring themes include:
Geopolitical Instability: A sense of impending conflict and shifting global alliances.
Conspiracy and Hidden Control: Belief in powerful, often malevolent, forces manipulating world events through secret means and technologies.
Historical Revisionism: Reinterpreting historical events, particularly World War II, often with the aim of exonerating or justifying certain actors and condemning others.
Technological Anxiety: Fear of advanced technologies being used for control and manipulation.
Anti-Establishment Sentiment: A strong rejection of mainstream politics, media, and cultural norms.
Identity Politics (in various forms): Emphasis on national, ethnic, and religious identities, often in opposition to perceived threats.
It is crucial to approach these sources with a critical eye, recognizing the potential for bias, misinformation, and the promotion of unsubstantiated claims. The inclusion of personal anecdotes and highly charged rhetoric often serves to reinforce existing beliefs within specific online communities.

TRANSCRIPT OF PODCAST
Lenny: You know, uh I'm your host and I'm ready to uh dive into some fascinating information with you today and uh some of it's a little challenging to be honest1 .
Maria: And I'm your co-host. I'm here to help you connect the dots and understand the bigger picture. We've got a really diverse set of sources you've shared with us. So, yeah, it's a lot to unpack. We've got everything from the current geopolitical landscape uh and some reflections on the pandemic response to some really divergent views on history and even some discussions around societal control. So where do we even begin with all this?1 .
Lenny: Well, why don't we start with that first source you mentioned, the one from Lou Rockwall.com2 .
Maria: Yeah, hard rains are going to fall. It's a good one to start with. This piece starts by looking at uh you know, President Putin's recent statements on that whole Ukraine conflict and right away two absolute conditions he laid out for any kind of settlement stood out to me2 .
Lenny: Oh, absolutely. I mean, when Putin talks about the elimination of the root causes of crisis and addressing Russia's security interests. That's a huge statement. That's not just about, you know, stopping the fighting. It's about reshaping the entire security landscape of Eastern Europe2 .
Maria: And to wrap it all up, the author brings in Bob Dylan's A Hard Rains are going to fall, seeing it as this reflection of all this hubris and deceit going on in the world. Kind of a powerful image3 .
Lenny: It's a reminder that art can be a powerful commentary on current events. The author sees the song's themes of, you know, impending doom, moral decay as very relevant to the situation they've described3 .
Maria: Yeah. Makes you think. Okay, let's move on to our second source, still from Lou Rockwell.com. This one's called COVID Maya. It's about how people are looking back on the whole COVID 19 pandemic response focusing on this Zanip Defecki who wrote this Mayakulpa in the New York Times. She's kind of admitting that the elites, well, they might have messed up a bit3 .
Lenny: Right? And 5 years later, some of them aren't so sure anymore. Makes sense, though. We have more data now. We can see the long-term effects of the policies. And it turns out maybe things weren't as black and white as they seemed at the time4 .
Maria: One of the big things the article highlights is Tfei admitting that we still don't know for sure where CO 19 came from. And she's more open now to the AB leak theory4 .
Lenny: That's a big shift. Remember how that theory was dismissed, even ridiculed for a long time. Now even mainstream voices are saying, "Hey, we don't actually know." It's a real change in the narrative4 .
Maria: Those are important questions for any religious community and for society as a whole. The pandemic created this unprecedented situation and we need to look back and really think about the decisions that were made, what worked, what didn't, what we learned from it all. It's about accountability and growth5 .
Lenny: It's a lot to reflect on. Okay, now we're going in a completely different direction with this next source. It's from the UNS review called Denouncing Hitler for very different reasons and well, it's pretty intense. The author tries to argue that National Socialism was in a way a understandable response to certain things happening in the modern world5 .
Maria: Okay. Yeah. Right away, we need to be careful here. This is a very controversial and sensitive topic. We need to be extremely clear about what we're presenting from this article. No endorsements, just trying to understand the author's perspective6 .
Lenny: Absolutely. So, one of the things the author sees as this outrage is what they call the transgender menace. They claim it all started back in Vimar Berlin with this Magnus Hersshfeld and his Institute for Sexual Visen Shaft. And they say the Nazis were absolutely right to destroy it6 .
Maria: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. We need to stop right there. That's just not true. And it's deeply offensive. The persecution of transgender people by the Nazis was a horrific crime. To say they were right about anything to do with that as well. It's just wrong and dangerous7 .
Lenny: I agree. It's important to remember that we are in no way endorsing any of these views. We're just trying to accurately reflect what the author wrote7 .
Maria: Exactly. And for the listener, please understand that these views on transgender individuals are hateful and completely go against everything we know about history and human rights7 .
Lenny: Yeah, it's a bit of a turn. They're highlighting how destructive Hitler's leadership became, especially towards the end. The Nero decree was basically an order to destroy everything in Germany as the allies were closing in. Speer said Hitler wanted to take everyone down with him. It's chilling8 .
Maria: But then the Oscar claims that Hitler's worst qualities only came out after the US declared war, like it was America's fault, which well that doesn't really hold up when you look at everything Hitler did before that8 .
Lenny: Agreed. It's vital for everyone listening to understand that minimizing the Holocaust in any way is just wrong. We're only mentioning this because it was in the article, but we condemn this perspective completely9 .
Maria: Right? And that reference to Daryl Cooper and the Yellow Star, it's like they're cherrypicking bits of history to fit their own narrative. It's dangerous9 .
Lenny: And then you get to the comment section of this article and well, it's a wild ride. People talking about whether Hitler had Jewish ancestry, whether he was a vegetarian or a drug addict, whether he was was false opposition. Some people say he was just mentally unstable. Others defend the article's main point. Then you've got mentions of Henry Mo and John Wear, discussions about the synagogue of Satanism and Telmutic Pharisees. Then it goes to Germany attacking the Soviet Union preemptively, comparisons to General Franco, denunciations of American and British war criminals. It's all over the place9 .
Maria: Okay. Yeah. Before we even get into this, we need to be very clear. This report is making some extraordinary claims that are not supported by mainstream science or medicine. We're not endorsing any of this, but we need to look at what they're saying10 .
Lenny: Agreed. So, they claim that 150,000 cases were deleted from VA years. You know that that system that tracks side effects from vaccines. And they say they have whistleblower information from CMS, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that suggests something like 250,000 deaths after the CO shots. They base that on like extrapolating from a small percentage of the US population10 .
Maria: And then they throw in this claim that during the Spanish flu, only the vaccinated people died, citing some Eleanor McBine, whoever that is11 .
Lenny: Yeah, that's completely false. The Spanish flu killed tons of people, vaccinated or not, history is clear on that one11 .
Maria: Okay, so to wrap up this report, they talk about how doctors who are successfully treating CO patients were intimidated ated and they mention an Australian health official who used the term new world order to describe the co measures and then they hint at this whole hidden network of power that wants a one world government11 .
Lenny: Yeah, it's a lot to think about. Okay, last thing, just a quick touch on this coffee and COVID report from March 22, 2025. They have this whole whole monologue about how the CIA has gone rogue. Basically, they're supposed to gather intelligence, but they're getting involved in covert wars and domestic operations12 .
Maria: Yeah. It's a concern that intelligence agencies might be overstepping their bounds, getting involved in things they shouldn't be12 .
Lenny: Then there's some stuff about chaos in the Democrat party. People calling for Schumer to resign, saying he's using violent rhetoric. And there's this DHS notice about immigrants needing to leave by April 24th. And then, this is wild, Trump's got this gold card program for citizenship. A thousand of them sold in one day at $5 million each. And he's promising to refund anyone who turns out to be unsavory12 .
Maria: I hope our listeners found it insightful, even if some of it was a bit unsettling13 .
Lenny: And here's something to ponder as we wrap up. In a world flooded with information, how do we separate truth from fiction? How do we decide what to believe and how to act on it?13 .
Maria: It's a question we all need to grapple with. Thanks for listening to another session of the Lenny and Maria Deep Dive. podcast show13 .

Welcome to the Lenny and Maria March 23rd deep dive podcast show produced by daily briefs.info. You know, uh I'm your host and I'm ready to uh dive into some fascinating information with you today and uh some of it's a little challenging to be honest
and I'm your co-host. I'm here to help you connect the dots and understand the bigger picture. We've got a really diverse set of sources you've shared with us. So,
yeah, it's a lot to unpack. We've got everything from the current geopolitical landscape uh and some reflections on the pandemic response to some really divergent views on history and even some discussions around societal control. So where do we even begin with all this?
Well, why don't we start with that first source you mentioned, the one from Lou Rockwall.com.
Yeah, hard rains are going to fall. It's a good one to start with. This piece starts by looking at uh you know, President Putin's recent statements on that whole Ukraine conflict and right away two absolute conditions he laid out for any kind of settlement. They really stood out to me.
Oh, absolutely. I mean, when Putin talks about the elimination of the root causes of crisis and addressing Russia's security interests. That's a huge statement. That's not just about, you know, stopping the fighting. It's about reshaping the entire security landscape of Eastern Europe.
Yeah, he's thinking long term.
I mean, and let's be realistic, those demands, they aren't going to be met easily. Not by Ukraine, not by its allies. It suggests that this conflict could drag on for a long time, way longer than many people think.
And then there's that second condition, the complete sessation of foreign military aid and intelligence to Keefe. That's a direct challenge to all the support Ukraine's been getting from the West. Basically, Russia saying, "Hey, you're the ones keeping this war going."
It really shows how much Russia views that outside support as a major obstacle to their goals in Ukraine. Makes you wonder about those discussions planned in Saudi Arabia that the article mentions. There's talk about ceasefire details, but the author seems pretty convinced that in the end, Kee's going to have to accept those Russian conditions.
Yeah, it's like no matter what other countries might want, the situation on the ground, the power dynamic,
it's pushing Ukraine towards a resolution they might not like.
Right? And then the article takes this turn into a bigger picture. We're talking geopolitics now involving Iran. That Russia Iran strategic partnership they signed back in January. That detail about Russia giving Thran ISR air defense and EW intelligence. That's not small potatoes.
No, not at all. What does all that even mean?
Well, ISR is intelligence gathering. Air defense obviously protecting against attacks from the air and electronic warfare. fair. That's about messing with the enemy's electronics, communications, that sort of thing. It's all crucial stuff in a modern military.
So, basically, Iran's getting a serious upgrade to its military capabilities.
Exactly. And that could have a huge impact on the balance of power in the Middle East. Suddenly, Western strategies in the region get a lot more complicated. It could be a real turning point.
And you know, thinking about it, both Russia and Iran, they're part of that bricks economic coalition. So, this military intelligence sharing, it really reinfor forces this idea that there's this growing alliance forming against Western influence.
It definitely adds another layer to the whole situation.
Now, this is where the article gets well controversial. The author lays out this very strong opinion on how the West has been acting, talking about support for ISIS clad Salafi jihadis in Syria and this alleged donation of Syrian territory to Tel Aviv.
Yeah, there's even a mention of€2.5 billion euros coming from someone the author refers to using, well, some pretty loaded terms. It's definitely a very specific and let's be honest, pretty inflammatory viewpoint.
Yeah, it's clear the author sees Western involvement in Syria as well basically meddling supporting groups they consider extremist acting against the interests of the Syrian people. The language is, let's just say, passionate.
It reflects a real distrust, I guess you could say, of Western foreign policy in that part of the world.
Right? It's important to remember though that this is just one interpretation of what happened in Syria, a very critical one. When you see such strong opinions and claims It's always good to look for other sources, get a broader perspective.
Totally agree. Then the author brings up the bombing of Ansarella in Yemen and this kind of resurgence of that bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran sentiment. They contrast that with what they call Yemen courage while calling Europeans Euro trash cowards. Again, pretty strong stuff.
Yeah, it's a very stark way of framing things. It's clear the author sees Western intervention, especially European involvement, as weak and ineffective, maybe even coward. ly in their view and they admire the Yemen stance. It's a very black and white perspective.
But the main point it seems like is that Putin's not interested in joining some kind of imperial club. He sees this whole conflict as the West trying to break up Russia and contain China.
Exactly. It's not just about Russian aggression. It's about Russia feeling threatened by the West, feeling like they're being encircled, and that this is a defensive move to protect themselves and China.
It really changes how you think about the whole thing.
And then it gets even deeper. The author brings in this Spangarian perspective. You know, contrasting those faian men of Europe with Russia's Ptorian nature and this idea of the third Rome just waiting for its moment that adds a whole other philosophical dimension to this.
Yeah, it's a lot to take in. What's all that about?
Well, it's based on the work of Oswald Spangler, this German philosopher. He saw Western civilization as this restless technology obsessed force, kind of like the character Faustst, who makes a deal with the devil for knowledge and power. That's the Fouian part. And Russia, he saw it as more patient, more spiritual, grounded in this Toltoyan ideal of simplicity and inner strength. And then there's that idea of the Third Rome, this belief that Russia has this special destiny that it's the heir to the Roman Empire and it's just biting its time.
Wow. Okay. So,
yeah, it's pretty heady stuff.
So, we've got Putin as this patient spiritual leader defending his country against these aggressive Western powers.
It's one way to look at it.
Okay. Then, The author warns about how European leaders might turn on their own people, talking about things like the digital euro that Lagard's pushing and this savings and investment union that's supposed to use people's savings for defense. That sounds a little scary to be honest.
Yeah, it's a pretty dark picture he paints. He sees these initiatives as ways for governments to control people's money to basically fund military buildups by taking from their citizens. It raises some big questions about individual freedom versus national security
and To wrap it all up, the author brings in Bob Dylan's A Hard Rains are going to fall, seeing it as this reflection of all this hubris and deceit going on in the world. Kind of a powerful image.
It's a reminder that art can be a powerful commentary on current events. The author sees the song's themes of, you know, impending doom, moral decay as very relevant to the situation they've described.
Yeah. Makes you think. Okay, let's move on to our second source, still from Lou Rockwell.com. This one's called COVID Maya. It's about how people are looking back on the whole COVID 19 pandemic response focusing on this Zanip Defecki who wrote this Mayakulpa in the New York Times. She's kind of admitting that the elites, well, they might have messed up a bit.
It's interesting, right? Because she was a big advocate for a lot of the COVID measures and now she's facing some serious backlash for saying, "Hey, maybe we didn't get everything right." Shows how sensitive this whole topic still is.
Yeah, people are still processing everything that happened and the The article talks about this shift in perspective from experts. You remember at the beginning they seemed so sure about everything. The science was settled. They said experimental vaccinations, church closures, all that,
right? And 5 years later, some of them aren't so sure anymore. Makes sense, though. We have more data now. We can see the long-term effects of the policies. And it turns out maybe things weren't as black and white as they seemed at the time.
One of the big things the article highlights is Tfei admitting that we still don't know for sure where CO 19 came from. And she's more open now to the AB leak theory.
That's a big shift. Remember how that theory was dismissed, even ridiculed for a long time. Now even mainstream voices are saying, "Hey, we don't actually know. It's a real change in the narrative."
And then the author gets into this critique of how the church used that field hospital imagery during the pandemic, saying that real field hospitals, well, they don't just pack up and leave when things get tough.
It's a pretty strong analogy and a bit controversial. The author's questioning whether the church really lived up to its role during a crisis. closing churches, limiting gatherings. It's like they retreated instead of stepping up when people needed them most.
And it leads to a whole bunch of questions that the author raises about how the church handled everything. Church closures, sacramental ministry, how they provided support to people, that whole balance between public health and religious freedom.
Those are important questions for any religious community and for society as a whole. The pandemic created this unprecedented situation and we need to look back and really think about the decisions that were made, what worked, what didn't, what we learned from it all. It's about accountability and growth.
It's a lot to reflect on. Okay, now we're going in a completely different direction with this next source. It's from the UNS review called Denouncing Hitler for very different reasons and well, it's pretty intense. The author tries to argue that National Socialism was in a way a understandable response to certain things happening in the modern world.
Okay. Yeah. Right away, we need to be careful here. This is a very controversial and sensitive topic. We need to be extremely clear about what we're presenting from this article. No endorsements, just trying to understand the author's perspective.
Absolutely. So, one of the things the author sees as this outrage is what they call the transgender menace. They claim it all started back in Vimar Berlin with this Magnus Hersshfeld and his Institute for Sexual Visen Shaft. And they say the Nazis were absolutely right to destroy it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. We need to stop right there. That's just not true. And it's deeply offensive. The persecution of transgender people by the Nazis was a horrific crime. To say they were right about anything to do with that as well. It's just wrong and dangerous.
I agree. It's important to remember that we are in no way endorsing any of these views. We're just trying to accurately reflect what the author wrote.
Exactly. And for the listener, please understand that these views on transgender individuals are hateful and completely go against everything we know about history and human rights.
Okay, so moving on. The author also claims that something called cultural Marxism came from the Frankfurt School, this group of Jewish academics. They say these insidious ideas have infected Western academia, which well, that's just a classic anti-semitic conspiracy theory.
Yeah. Cultural Marxism, as it's used here, it's baseless and harmful. It's this way of blaming Jewish intellectuals for things people don't like about society. The Frankfurt school, they were a diverse group of thinkers who had some interesting ideas, but to say they had this evil agenda because they were Jewish, that's pure prejudice,
right? Then there's this argument that national socialism was a response to the threat of Soviet bulcheism and the role of Jews in communist revolutions, which again, that's another harmful stereotype.
It's true that some Jewish people were involved in communist movements just like people from all sorts of backgrounds. But to use that as proof of some kind of Jewish conspiracy and to justify Nazi ideology, that's a dangerous distortion of history.
Now, this is where it gets weird. The author includes this quote from a German soldier who admired the discipline of the Vermacht, the German army, but saw the Nazi party and the SS as criminals. Like he's separating the two, saying that national socialism itself was this wonderful creed.
It's disturbing, right? It shows how people could be drawn to certain aspects of national socialism like this idea of order and unity while ignoring or even denying the horrors that were happening.
It's like they were able to compartmentalize their thinking to separate the ideology from the actions, which of course you can't really do. do the ideology led to the action,
right? You can't pick and choose what parts of Nazism you like. It was all connected.
Then the author talks about the policy of unconditional surrender and criticizes Hitler for what he wanted to do to the German people at the end of the war. They mention the Nero decree and how Albert Spear, one of Hitler's top guys, talked about his nihilistic views. So here the authors actually criticizing Hitler.
Yeah, it's a bit of a turn. They're highlighting how destructive Hitler's leadership became, especially towards the end. The Nero decree was basically an order to destroy everything in Germany as the allies were closing in. Spear said Hitler wanted to take everyone down with him. It's chilling.
But then the Oscar claims that Hitler's worst qualities only came out after the US declared war, like it was America's fault, which well that doesn't really hold up when you look at everything Hitler did before that.
It's a very selective reading of history. They're trying to blame America for Hitler's actions, but the truth is his racist ideology, his anti-semitism, his plans conquest. Those were all there from the beginning. You can't ignore that.
And then, this is just awful. The author calls the Holocaust a mere detail in history and suggests it only started because war with the US was likely, like it was some kind of hostage scenario.
Oh, come on. That's just outrageous. We can't let that slide. The Holocaust, the systematic murder of millions of people, it was not a detail. It was a horrific crime planned and carried out with deliberate cruelty. And to try to justify it, to reframe it. That's just unacceptable.
Agreed. It's vital for everyone listening to understand that minimizing the Holocaust in any way is just wrong. We're only mentioning this because it was in the article, but we condemn this perspective completely,
right? And that reference to Daryl Cooper and the Yellow Star, it's like they're cherrypicking bits of history to fit their own narrative. It's dangerous.
And then you get to the comment section of this article and well, it's a wild ride. People talking about whether Hitler had Jewish ancestry, whether he was a vegetarian or a drug addict, whether he was was false opposition. Some people say he was just mentally unstable. Others defend the article's main point. Then you've got mentions of Henry Mo and John Wear, discussions about the synagogue of Satanism and Telmutic Pharisees. Then it goes to Germany attacking the Soviet Union preemptively, comparisons to General Franco, denunciations of American and British war criminals. It's all over the place.
Yeah, it's like a crash course in conspiracy theories and fringe historical interpretations. It just shows how much misinformation is out there about this period. How much people are still grappling with it, trying to make sense of it, but often falling into these really dangerous traps.
It's a reminder that we need to be so careful about what we believe, what sources we trust. Critical thinking is essential, especially with such sensitive topics.
Absolutely. Okay, let's shift gears a bit. We've got this section on questionable science and societal control stuff from Lou Rockwell.com and stopworldcontrol.com.
Yeah. Let's start with that article called Unmasking the Great Aven Influenza Scam by a Midwestern Doctor. Sounds intriguing. it is. The doctor basically argues that a lot of the time these outbreaks of bird flu or, you know, any pandemic really that they're overhyped, that there are other reasons why these things get blown out of proportion.
Yeah. He lays out a few reasons for this. One is that it justifies all these federal agencies like the CDC. They need a threat to exist so they can keep getting funding.
Then there's the media, of course. They love a good scary story. Gets people clicking and watching
fear cells,
right? And then there's the whole biodefense industry. They make money off of pandemics. And maybe the most interesting point, he says that it's a way to distract from the real health issues, the ones that are harder to fix,
the ones that might require big changes to how we live, how our society is structured. Things like diet, lifestyle, pollution, it's easier to blame a virus than to face those tougher challenges.
So instead of focusing on these complex systemic problems, we get distracted by this external threat. We feel like we're doing something by fighting a virus. Even if it's not the real root of the problem.
It's a way for those in power to appear to be taking decisive action without actually addressing the more fundamental issues that might challenge their authority or require real systemic change.
And the author, he's skeptical of some of the solutions that are always proposed like mass slaughtering livestock and using antiviral drugs that might not even work. He thinks there's a lot of money and politics involved, not just pure science.
It raises some good questions. Are we always making decisions based on the best evidence or are there other motives at play?
And then he gets into this whole thing about the biodeffense industry maybe even creating boweapons and how there's this history of lab leaks. He mentions Cambridge working group and things like the 1977 H1N1 pandemic.
It's a disturbing thought, right? That the very institutions that are supposed to protect us from these threats could be the ones creating them even if it's accidental.
Yeah. Makes you think about the risks involved in this kind of research, whether it's worth it.
And he even suggests that there's this grift going on where people hype up diseases to boost the stock prices of biotech companies. Like there's this financial incentive to create panic.
And get this, he claims that we don't even know the real death rate of the flu, which that sounds kind of crazy, right? You've been tracking the flu for so long,
right? But he's saying that the data might not be as reliable as we think. It feeds into this idea that maybe we're overestimating the danger of these new diseases, that there's a whole lot of fear-mongering going on. Okay, now we're getting into some really controversial territory. This next one is the vaccine death report from stopworldcontrol.com. And well, it makes some very serious claims about CO 19 vaccines. Claims that frankly sound a bit out there.
Okay. Yeah. Before we even get into this, we need to be very clear. This report is making some extraordinary claims that are not supported by mainstream science or medicine. We're not endorsing any of this, but we need to look at what they're saying.
Agreed. So, they claim that 150,000 cases were deleted from VA years. You know that that system that tracks side effects from vaccines. And they say they have whistleblower information from CMS, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that suggests something like 250,000 deaths after the CO shots. They base that on like extrapolating from a small percentage of the US population.
Yeah. VARS, it's an important system, but it's not perfect. Anyone can report anything. And just because something's reported doesn't mean it was caused by the vaccine. And these claims about deleting data and linking deaths directly to the vaccine. They haven't been verified by anyone independent. It's all very shaky.
And then they say that only 1% of vaccine injuries are ever reported, mentioning this Lazarus report. And they bring up this Gear Vandenon Bosch who claims that the vaccines are messing up our immune systems. And then this is where it gets really disturbing. They have some Holocaust survivors comparing the vaccine campaigns to a new Holocaust.
Okay, that's just wrong. Comparing anything to the Holocaust is incredibly insensitive and trivializes what happened. And And that 1% figure, it's from one study. It might not be accurate for everything. And Van Bosch's theories, they're not accepted by most scientists.
Then it gets even wilder. They claim there's graphine oxide and nanobots in the vaccines. And they link this to some agenda of total mind control through 5G. They even quote the Chilean president and Klaus Schwab.
Oh man, we're deep into conspiracy theory territory now. Graphine oxide, nanobots, mind control through 5G, none of that is supported by science and those quotes, they're often taken out of context or twisted to fit their narrative. It's
like they're building this whole elaborate story connecting all these dots that don't actually connect.
Exactly. It's important to be critical of what you see online, especially when it comes to health information. There's a lot of misinformation out there.
So, the report also talks about how CO 19 case numbers were inflated, deaths were mclassified, and effective treatments were suppressed, which we heard some of that in that avian flu article, too.
Yeah. There's this whole idea that the pandemic was deliberately exaggerated. that the data was manipulated and that there were cures the government didn't want us to know about. It's a powerful narrative, but again, there's no real evidence to back it up.
And then they throw in this claim that during the Spanish flu, only the vaccinated people died, citing some Eleanor McBine, whoever that is.
Yeah, that's completely false. The Spanish flu killed tons of people, vaccinated or not, history is clear on that one.
Okay, so to wrap up this report, they talk about how doctors who are successfully treating CO patients were intimidated ated and they mention an Australian health official who used the term new world order to describe the co measures and then they hint at this whole hidden network of power that wants a one world government.
It's like they're connecting everything to this grand conspiracy which again there's no evidence for. It's easy to get caught up in these theories but we need to stick to the facts
for sure. Okay, let's move on to something a little less intense. This next piece is from lu rockwell.com called If We Want Trump to matter. It's by this guy Alan Steo and he's arguing that we need to focus on individual action, doing things locally instead of just worrying about national politics.
Yeah, this is a good change of pace. It's about taking responsibility, being proactive in your own community,
right? Steo says we need to get to know our local bureaucrats, like actually know their names and talk to them about the issues that matter to us. He thinks that's where real change happens.
It's about being an active citizen, participating in local government, not just complaining on social media. and he addresses those people who say voting doesn't matter. He says even if you don't believe in the national system, you can still make a difference locally. Promote freedom, work on projects, get involved.
It's empowering, right? It's saying, "Hey, you have more power than you think. You can make a difference right here, right now."
And he even suggests inviting local board members over for dinner. Get to know them, build relationships, make them listen to your concerns.
It's a great idea. Sometimes a personal connection can be more effective than all the formal channels.
And he criticizes this silent majority, the people who just sit back and complain but don't actually do anything.
He says, "If you want freedom, you have to fight for it. Invest your time and money like paying a tithe to the cause of liberty.
It's a call to action. Don't just sit there. Do something. Get involved. Make your voice heard. Build the world you want to see."
I like that. Okay, last section. This is about Trump's actions and policies. Stuff from Lou Rockwell.com and CNC News. We've got this article called Trump seeks Russian Support for War. on Iran sounds a bit scary.
Yeah, it's looking at the possibility of a future conflict in the Middle East and how a potential Trump administration might approach it.
So, the article talks about these phone calls between Trump and Putin and between Rubio and Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, about the situation in Yemen. Apparently, Russia wants an immediate ceasefire, which is interesting. It shows they might have different priorities than the US,
right?
The US seems more focused on containing Iran's influence in Yemen, while Russia's calling for deescalation. It's a potential point of friction.
And the big worry is that Trump might try to make a deal with Russia, offering something on Ukraine in exchange for their support or at least their neutrality if the US goes to war with Iran. That would be a huge shift in policy.
It's a very real politic approach to foreign policy using one conflict as leverage in another. It could have big implications for global stability.
Then there's this piece about Trump's executive order on the Department of Education. The author likes it. sees it as a good first step, but also points out its limitations.
Yeah, it's a symbolic move showing he wants to reduce federal control over education,
but it doesn't really dismantle the system, and a future president could easily reverse it.
The author's main point is that it doesn't address the root problems like federal interference in curriculum and those student loan guarantees that are driving up tuition costs.
It's about more than just getting rid of a department. It's about tackling the underlying issues, the way the federal government distorts the education market. And they even say that abolishing the Department of Education might not solve everything because public school teachers tend to lean left anyway. So even without federal control, there might still be this ideological influence.
It's a good point. The values and beliefs of the teachers themselves have a big impact on what students learn.
And then they bring up this libertarian solution of abolishing mandatory schooling altogether. Let parents choose how to educate their kids. Create more diversity in the system.
It's a radical idea, but it's about giving people more freedom and control over their children's education.
They even mention how some wealthy people are already doing this, often out of traditional schooling. And they say that real education is often about unlearning the nonsense they were taught in school.
It's a provocative thought. Makes you question what the purpose of education really is, whether it's truly serving us well.
Yeah, it's a lot to think about. Okay, last thing, just a quick touch on this coffee and COVID report from March 22, 2025. They have this whole whole monologue about how the CIA has gone rogue. Basically, they're supposed to gather intelligence, but they're getting involved in covert wars and domestic operations.
Yeah. It's a concern that intelligence agencies might be overstepping their bounds, getting involved in things they shouldn't be.
Then there's some stuff about chaos in the Democrat party. People calling for Schumer to resign, saying he's using violent rhetoric. And there's this DHS notice about immigrants needing to leave by April 24th. And then, this is wild, Trump's got this gold card program for citizenship. A thousand of them sold in one day at $5 million each. And he's promising to refund anyone who turns out to be unsavory.
It's a mix of current events and potential future scenarios. Immigration policy, political infighting, these are all ongoing issues. And that gold card program, it's an interesting concept, but it also raises some questions about who gets to be a citizen and who decides what unsavory means.
Yeah, a lot to unpack there. Well, we've covered a lot today. Geopolitics, pandemics, history, societal control, individual even a glimpse into the future.
You gave us quite the collection of sources and it's been fascinating to explore all these different threads, how they connect, how they challenge our assumptions.
I hope our listeners found it insightful, even if some of it was a bit unsettling.
And here's something to ponder as we wrap up. In a world flooded with information, how do we separate truth from fiction? How do we decide what to believe and how to act on it?
It's a question we all need to grapple with. Thanks for listening to another session of the Lenny and Maria Deep Dive. podcast show.

The provided text is an article from Joachim Bartoll's website discussing a study on exogenous ketones and sleep quality. Bartoll interprets the study's finding that exogenous ketones improved subjective sleep measures as evidence that being in ketosis, achieved through a carnivorous diet, is the natural human state for optimal sleep. He argues that using ketone supplements only highlights a poor diet and advocates for a transition to an animal-based diet to naturally improve sleep and overall health, dismissing the views of Examine.com as misinformed. The website also features Bartoll's articles, coaching services, and a community forum centered around his nutritional and health philosophies.
