Acid is Groovy!

From distinguished FBI agent to conspiracy kingpin: Journey inside the mind of Ted Gunderson, whose investigation of the infamous Jeffrey MacDonald murder case launched his transformation from respected law enforcement official to professional conspiracy theorist. This episode of A Paranoid’s History of the United States follows Gunderson's evolution as he chases phantom cults, promotes tales of government mind control, and claims to expose vast underground child trafficking networks. Through interviews with former colleagues and investigators, we reveal how his FBI credentials lent dangerous credibility to outlandish theories that continue to influence American society today.Whether you're fascinated by true crime, conspiracy culture, or the hidden forces that shape our collective beliefs, this deep dive into Gunderson's "reign of error" illuminates how yesterday's paranoia became today's viral misinformation.GUESTS:Oliver "Buck" Revell.
