AMBROSE BIERCE - "THOSE YELLOW BASTARDS!"

from KOOKS, CRANKS, AND ICONOCLASTS! · host mike lucht

HOOOOOO BOY! What's up you beautiful kooks! This here's another big'un for ya's! This episode is largely concentrated on the mysterious disappearance of Ambrose Bierce as well as his less discussed life of service in espionage and military intelligence! (Thanks largely in part to my primary source for this episode, author/investigator Walter Bosley's "Secret Missions 3: Destination Carcosa")! Not only that, but we'll be heavily exploring the intersection of "fictional" narratives, espionage, intelligence agencies, occultism, & memetic warfare! We'll also be looking into Robert W. Chambers and the "King in Yellow"/"Carcosa" myth cycle, along with a few special appearances by cults, ritual murders, a veritable SLEW! of your favorite authors/works of literature/film/etc., and Nazi UFOs! IT'S A GODDAMNED EXTRAVAGANZA! Trust me kooks, there's some very MINDBLOWING! information contained in this episode that I'm very surprised, almost OFFENDED! even, that more people aren't talking about let alone even mentioning at all! PUT IT IN YO BRAAAAAINS!Email us!: [email protected] SOURCES not specifically mentioned in this episode will be added in the "1.5" follow episode following this one.If you are struggling with mental health and/or substance abuse issues, well...me too. But we're all fucked TOGETHER! Plus, if things get real bad, you can always dial 988. There's people who truly DO care and you are NOT ALONE!
