Music, Social Engineering and the Paranormal Grift – Ben Gordon Interview with James Bartley

from The Cosmic Switchboard

Ben Gordon returns to The Cosmic Switchboard Show. Ben is a musician and talks about how music changed over the years in order to advance certain social engineering agendas. Ben also explains how today&#8217;s music scene is serving as training wheels for AI and how social engineering and the cultural Marxist agenda have reshaped popular music. James and Ben discuss the raw power of classic rock and Motown recordings, the primal effect live music once had on audiences, and how record labels went from nurturing artists like Steve Miller, Y&amp;T and Night Ranger to abandoning them completely. They examine the arrival of grunge, the hopelessness and apathy in its lyrics, the muddy guitar tones and the decline of bass playing and the great session musicians. In Part 2 Ben Gordon goes into a deep dive about Music and other key issues. Ben and James turn to the state of the truther and paranormal scene. They talk about QAnon influencers who refuse to hold each other accountable, and conference speakers claiming to be the original Anunnaki or members of a dragon family lineage. Ben describes how he was wiped off Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and even BitChute at the same time after calling out certain figures, and they discuss how the platforms share data and manipulate algorithms to push feel-good space brother content while suppressing genuine researchers. The conversation also covers Trump as controlled opposition, the MAGA cult, the two-party duopoly, what the artificial swinging of the pendulum means for the midterms, and why it is important to keep a sense of humor through it all.
