Summary

DEEP DIVE - On this episode of Those Conspiracy Guys we delve deep into the septic tank of modern news media and examine what's now called 'Fake News', but we have always known it as Propaganda. A tool invented by sociologists using psychological techniques to convice the public to think and act against their will.  We talk about the scientific techniques and the origins of the idea of manipulation of media throughout history. We all learned in school that Hitler had a propaganda machine, but what is not told to impressionable young kids is that pretty much every type of media uses a form of manipulation in the delivery of its message. The man behind this is Edward Bernays and we talk about him and his techniques as well as discussing Chomsky and Hermann and their Propaganda Model and how the filters they describe are at work in our modern news media.  We also give Trump his few minutes, because you cant talk about bullshit without talking about The Donald. We discuss the Womens March and the Inauguration protests and the future of the mainstream media in this hotbed of polarised politics. ________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

The Conspiracy Behind The Truth Jack Ruby and Agent K These will be some late night episodes of 2 guys exploring some conspiracies. Some will be commonly known conspiracies and others may be something that we’ve made up. We aim to have a general discussion about why some may have the beliefs they do about these topics however, it is unlikely we will ever debunk or prove correct any of them. So with that being said it would be preferable that we don’t disappear should we happen to prove something either correct or incorrect. Explicit Late Night Pillow Talk Nichole Highfill Do you ever have those nagging thoughts that play in your head for hours? Those awkward memories that just pop up at 2 in the morning? Conspiracy theories that you just have to tell someone? Well you're in luck, so do I. This podcast will explore the late night thoughts of one weird woman and the strange things that come to mind at night. Explicit Friday Night Fringe Friday Night Fringe We are fascinated by the inexplicable, the hidden, the silenced, the alternate explanations, and above all, stories of those who have lived "on the Fringe".On this podcast, hosts KJ, Ashe, Will, & Sheldon cover fringe topics such as: Conspiracy Theories, UFOs / UAPs, Paranormal phenomenon & the Supernatural, Secret Societies & Cults, Fringe Science & more!Friday nights are on the fringe! Explicit The Abracast Jon Towers Occult, History, Conspiracy, Violence.Host, Jon Towers pours a giant drink and tackles topics weekly. Sometimes dark, sometimes mysterious but always entertaining. Jon presents the information in a conversational but edgy tone and struggles to add context and often levity to these examinations of dark magic, the mysteries hidden in dusty old books, forgotten myths, unknown stories of our past, politics and pop-culture and plots from secret organizations and elites.In realms (occultism and Podcasts) dominated by leftists, statists, boot-lickers, new-agers, and other nonsense The Abracast tries to provide a different point of view to these difficult topics.
