Paul English Live 021226 LIVE on GVN : Underworlds & Understatements: The Witch Hunts, Orthodoxy, and the Art of Doubt

We kicked off with a delightfully bumpy live start and a bit of Valentine’s banter before settling into a wide‑ranging conversation about contested histories and how narratives get made. Eric and I sparred amiably over Flat Earth claims versus globes, Younger Dryas cataclysms, sea‑level myths, and why maps and measurements like Ordnance Datum Newlyn confuse so many of us. From giants, Nephilim lore, cargo cult analogies and Bohemian Grove symbolism to Graham Hancock’s underwater civilizations, we kept circling one theme: who gets to define “orthodoxy” and why it sticks.In hour two, guest contributors Nathan Lucius and Holly joined to talk witches, midwives, and healers. Using Witches, Midwives, & Nurses as a springboard, we examined how church and state weaponised the Malleus Maleficarum and witch trials to crush women’s community care, midwifery, and herbal medicine. Holly shared practical folk‑remedy notes—onions, garlic, fermented veg, “four thieves” blends, ACV tonics—and we touched on modern detox supports like NAC, glutathione, and even nicotine lozenges as discussed by Dr. Bryan Ardis. We wrapped with Monty Python’s timeless “she’s a witch!” satire—because sometimes comedy says it best about moral panics and manufactured consensus.'Witches, Midwives, & Nurses' (Barbara Ehrenreich & Deirdre English) — Feminist Press: https://feministpress.org/products/9781558616615-witches-midwives-and-nurses-second-editionMalleus Maleficarum — Portland State University digital resource: https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/mmft_malleus/Daemonologie (King James VI/I) — Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/25929Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) — overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python_and_the_Holy_GrailJerm Warfare (show page) — UK Column series hub: https://www.ukcolumn.org/Jerm Warfare — Apple Podcasts listing: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jerm-warfare/id1475255493Dustin Nemos — Nemos News Network: https://nemosnewsnetwork.com/Graham Hancock — Official site: https://grahamhancock.com/Ancient Apocalypse — Netflix official page: https://www.netflix.com/title/81211003Underworld: Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age — book page (Graham Hancock official): https://grahamhancock.com/underworld/Younger Dryas — background summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_DryasOrdnance Datum Newlyn — vertical datum used in Great Britain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_datumCargo cult — context for WWII Melanesian interpretations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cultBohemian Grove — background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_GroveFour Thieves (Vinegar/Oil) — historical plague remedy tradition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_thieves_vinegarCodex Alimentarius — U.S. Codex Office (USDA): https://www.usda.gov/trade-and-markets/policies-and-procedures/us-codex-officeOpera — official browser download (referenced for access tips): https://www.opera.com/Nicotonic (Nic Nac Naturals) — nicotine lozenges discussed: https://nicotonic.com/Dr. Bryan Ardis — official site and resources: https://thedrardisshow.com/Acetylcysteine (NAC) — reference overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AcetylcysteineGlutathione — reference overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GlutathioneErich von Däniken — official website: https://daniken.com/Richard Vobes (The Bald Explorer) — official hub: https://richardvobes.me/
