    #50 - Prisca Theologia: The Hermetic Order

    Episode 1: The Hermetic OrderStrip away the modern political buzzwords, the internet rumors, and the contemporary paranoia, and you are still left with a substantial, ancient web of hidden history. In this foundational episode, we begin the attempt to demystify the origins of the world's most enduring esoteric traditions.We start at the beginning: tracking human survival from the cataclysms of the Ice Age and the Younger Dryas, and examining how early spiritual beliefs evolved in tandem with the stars. By following the precession of the equinoxes through the Astrological Ages, we explore the radical shifts in human theology, from the primordial Earth Mothers of the Paleolithic to the hierarchical Sky Gods of the Bronze Age.But this is not a story about the magic of the stars. It is a historical analysis of the power of belief, the pursuit of hidden knowledge, and how the elite classes have historically weaponized philosophy to govern.From Zoroaster’s invention of linear time and Plato’s "Noble Lie," to the pharmacological rituals of the Egyptian priesthood and the birth of Hermeticism, we trace a continuous thread of occulted knowledge. We follow this philosophical lineage as it is preserved by Islamic scholars and Sufi mystics during the European Dark Ages, before being absorbed by the Knights Templar. Finally, we examine how this ancient framework drove the Age of Discovery and ultimately laid the physical and ideological groundwork for modern Freemasonry.Topics covered in this episode:• The Younger Dryas and the theology of the Astrological Ages (Virgo to Pisces)• The discovery of gold and the rise of the agricultural god-kings• Zoroastrianism, dualism, and Plato’s philosophical architecture• The Kemetic origins of alchemy and the use of psychoactive botanicals in ancient rites• Hermes Trismegistus and the suppression of the Book of Enoch• The Sabians, the Hashshashins, and the preservation of esoteric science• The Knights Templar, Baphomet, and their geopolitical monopoly• Prince Henry the Navigator, Prester John, and the esoteric motives behind the Age of Discovery• Rosslyn Chapel and the birth of the Scottish Masons

    #49 Seeding The Eschaton

    Last year we put out an episode called 'Immanentizing the Eschaton'. We looked at the three underlying eschatologies driving conflict between Iran, Israel and the USA.Fast forward to February 2026, the U.S. and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury, and it's made most people epically furious.But im not satisfied we really went deep enough, so now that things have boiled over again let's go deeper.Turns out these modern doomsday cults didn't evolve organically. They were manufactured.Join us as we track the geopolitical bloodlines of the apocalypse back to the 19th-century drawing rooms of the British Empire. From the linguistic grift that hardwired "Gog and Magog" into the American consciousness, to the English Masonic lodges that birthed radical Islam.And if that's not enough for you don't worry, there's so much more to come.Keywords:The Dirt Unit, Middle East War 2026, Geopolitics, Iran, Israel, Christian Zionism, Twelver Shia, IRGC, Eschatology, Third Temple, Red Heifer, Gog and Magog, Scofield Bible, British Empire, Operation Ajax, Sayyid Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, Council for National Policy, End Times prophecy, OSINT analysis, US Foreign Policy.

    #46 - The Ashes: A Secret History of War by Other Means

    The Ashes - A Secret History of War by Other MeansIn Victorian England, it was decided that it would be best for the human desire for conflict to play out on the sports field rather than in the streets of the colonies. They called this Rational Recreation, and cricket became the way to instill into their subjects 'British Values' of gentlemanly conduct, sportsmanship and most importantly.. knowing that you can and will always be beaten by the English.But what happens when the master gets beaten in his own house? He is cremated, condemned to a tiny little urn. Rational Recreation becomes an Irrational Obsession to fight for ownership of that urn every two years for eternity.WARNING: The following is an extremely bias Australian take on the worlds fist and oldest sporting rivalry, the bi-annual series of test cricket played between Australia and England known as The Ashes.

    #45 The Epstein Files (pt 3) - The Men Who Sold The World

    In the third chapter of our investigation, we map the birth of the modern privatized intelligence networks. This is the story of "The Men Who Sold The World."From 1995 to September 10th, 2001, a new form of power consolidated itself in the shadows. Elite spies from MI6 and the CIA left the public sector to found corporate intelligence empires like Hakluyt and Diligence, becoming the unaccountable army for a global oligarchy centered around firms like The Carlyle Group.We follow their trail of manufactured chaos, from the terror of the Moscow apartment bombings to the deep, tangled relationships between their patrons in the Khashoggi network and the rising threat of Osama bin Laden. We expose how this same machine executed a political coup in Florida during the 2000 election, ensuring their man was in the White House for the crisis they knew was coming. And we are forced to ask: where was Jeffrey Epstein in all of this? Was his network of sexual blackmail merely a coincidence, or was it the social and political glue that held this entire dark enterprise together?Keywords for search: The Epstein Files, The Men Who Sold The World, Hakluyt, Diligence LLC, Carlyle Group, Private Intelligence, Corporate Spies, Moscow Apartment Bombings, Chechen War, Adnan Khashoggi, Osama bin Laden, Brooks Brothers Riot, 2000 Election, George W Bush, Al Gore, Strategy of Tension, Prelude to Crisis, Jeffrey Epstein Documentary, Ghislaine Maxwell, The Dirt Unit Podcast.

    #44 The Epstein Files (Part 2) - The Council and The Crown

    Part 2 of The Dirt Unit's deep dive into the Jeffrey Epstein network. In this episode, "The Council & The Crown," we expose Epstein's calculated infiltration of the American and British establishments during the critical period of the mid-1990s.We uncover the real story behind Epstein's membership in the elite Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), his deep connections to the Clinton White House, and his relationship with Britain's Prince Andrew. We also investigate the dark history of his New York mansion and the operational significance of Ghislaine Maxwell's role in connecting Epstein to the highest levels of power.This is the story of how a private intelligence operation, born from the ashes of the Iran-Contra and BCCI scandals and funded by the mysterious "Mega Group," successfully captured key nodes of Western power.Keywords for search: The Epstein Files, Jeffrey Epstein documentary, Who was Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, The Council & The Crown, Bill Clinton Epstein, Donald Trump Epstein, Prince Andrew, Council on Foreign Relations explained, CFR conspiracy, deep state, intelligence operation, Leslie Wexner, The Mega Group, Franklin Scandal, Lolita Express, private intelligence, Adnan Khashoggi, Robert Maxwell, Mossad, CIA, MI6, The Dirt Unit Podcast.

    #43 The Epstein Files (Pt 1): Old Game, New Players.

    To understand the monster, you must first meet his makers.Part 1 of The Epstein Files is a journey into the swamp that created him. We uncover the interconnected worlds of Adnan Khashoggi, the arms dealer who brokered secret wars; Robert Maxwell, the spy who ran a media empire; and Roy Cohn, the political fixer who taught a generation how to wield power.This is the story of a failing, privatized deep state and the new, more ruthless machine that was built from its ashes. This is the story of Jeffrey Epstein's apprenticeship, and, as it happens, Donald Trump's.

    #42 It's Always Been About The Temple

    Last episode we explored the eschatological underpinnings of Iran, Israel and the USA driving them toward conflict in the Middle East, but it left us with a burning question.. What's the deal with the Temple? For millennia, this sacred space has been a source of immense spiritual power and wealth. Join us as we lay out it's entire history, from its genesis with King Solomon, to its capture by the warrior-banker monks of the Knights Templar, all the way through the empires that have risen and fallen fighting to possess it.This is the story of the world's most contested piece of real estate.

    #41 Immanentizing the Eschaton

    Ok, buckle up, leave your preconceived notions at the door and let's have a proper look at the underlying elephant in the room in the conflict between Israel, Iran and America. This is a look at the mainstream explanations of the conflict from each side, combined with the Religious Zionism, Christian Zionism and Shia Islam, side by side, what they believe and what steps they are each following in an attempt to bring about the end times.It's gonna end fine, I swear.

    #40 - All Rhodes Lead to London

    We looked at the rise and fall of the East India Company, but what came next? This episode, we tunnel into the diamond-encrusted heart of imperial ambition. The life, times, and frankly terrifying wills of Cecil Rhodes, a man who didn't just want to annexe countries, but the future itself. Discover how his dream of a secret society to ensure Anglo-Saxon global dominance was taken up by the formidable Alfred Milner and his "Kindergarten," evolving into the influential Round Table groups. We'll trace the money trail back to the ancient Square Mile – the City of London – and yes, we'll be mentioning the Rothschilds. It's the hidden architecture of early 20th-century power, laid bare. Grab your shovel.

    #31 Ignorance is.. Confusing.

    This episode we wanted to talk about some of the wild conspiracies going around coming up to the election in the US but to make it interesting we thought we would talk about it as if we are two guys who believe everything they read on the internet. DISCLAIMER: There is a lot said here in jest. If something offends you chances are it was a joke.

    #29 Mystery Hominids of Australia. Part 3 - The Evidence.

    Well, here it is.. The third and final installment in the Mystery Hominid series. The thrilling conclusion. Is there a mystery hominid living on this continent? Your guess is as good as ours. Is the idea as far fetched as it seems? It turns out that it is not that crazy after all and while we cant say for sure if there is any hominids living here currently, there actually should be, and that adds a whole other fascinating layer to this whole Yowie myth.

  23. -22

    #28 Mystery Hominids of Australia. Part 2 - Modern Era

    In this second instalment of the Mystery Hominid series we look at sightings of these creatures in the modern era, with a focus on the work of Dean Harrison and his Australian Yowie Research group. www.yowiehunters.com **This is a re-upload because Spotify labelled it as a video and didn't send it to all platforms.

    #27 Mystery Hominids of Australia. Part 1 - History.

    The illusive Hairy Man of Australia, commonly referred to as the Yowie, is a relic of colonial European superstition that although rarely spoken about has somehow left a cultural imprint on the entire country. An imprint so strong that every now and then when someone goes too deep into the bush they make the foolish error of confusing a Kangaroo hopping past as being a giant hairy half man, half ape-like monster. This silly mistake manages to keep happening again and again over the course of the last 200 years. This concoction of the colonial mind is so potent that it is claimed to retrospectively appear in Aboriginal cultural stories from all over the country. At least that's what the experts tell us. So let's do what we do and have a very thorough look at it.

    #24 Weaponised Unreality pt 3 - Qanon.

    Qanon, you might have heard of it. But have you ever wondered who started it? You might have tried to find out, only to find that every prominent voice in the Q watching space tells you it's not even important who started it and we'll probably never know. Well, Dan knows, and you should probably know too.

  29. -28

    #22 The Ballad of Harry Bridges - Part 1. Building Bridges

    This is the story of a man who is quite possibly the most influential Australian ever to leave our shores. Loved by the people, hated by the government and the corporate class, this man scared the bosses of the San Francisco waterfront so bad that god came to them in a dream and told them to start organizing prayer cells with politicians in order to sway them to be better capitalists.

Episode 1 takes us through the formation of the myths that make up the right-wing conspiracy world, looking at how they have been utilized by various groups over the decades and how they have changed shape along the way to come to the form they are in today.

    #19 The Ecumenical Elephant in the Room

    This episode was very hard to put together. So hard, in fact, that I had to bring on a permanent co-host of the podcast so I can be explaining this stuff to an actual person that can tell me how insane it is. So in this episode we welcome Daniel Morrison, not as a guest this time but as the new permanent addition to the podcast. I seized on this opportunity to recap and elaborate on everything we have learned so far in this long running deep dive. There is a common thread between pretty much everything we have looked at on this podcast, yet they've barely been mentioned. Not just because the detail is always obscured, but because they're very hard to talk about and despite being a sovereign nation state there is very little detail on their activities. This podcast looks at their influence and connections, from fighting Islam, to seeding UFO myths, to a certain influential New Age cult and back to fighting Islam again. I'm sorry for all the swearing.

    We examine 2 recent encounters with hostile aliens that set off the god fearing Christians and also happened to each coincide with/distract from whistleblower accounts of a UFO retrieval program. They must be glued to Newsweek up in that spaceship. Then we look at some local stories that appear to support the idea of a crash retrieval program.

  35. -34

    #15 Unidentified Aerial Phenomena

    This episode I am joined in the studio with Daniel Morrison, he arrived only a few hours after the US congress hearing on UFOs so I though we should take the cue to examine a few threads around UFO disclosure relating to the subject matter covered previously on this podcast. Strap yourself in, we're going on a bit of a journey today.

    #14 The Secret of the Golden Dawn

    Exploring The Uncharted: The Occult Past Of Nazi Ideology And Its Connection To Current Political Discourse.   This episode continues our look in to the I AM activity, this time focusing on the attempt to break out of the UFO world and infiltrate the broader conspiracy world online, centered around the 2012 end of the Mayan calendar / ascension movement and moving into the conscious life festival and some of the main influencers involved in that.

  37. -36

    #13 I Am the Cosmic Horseshoe

    This episode looks at the I Am Movement, an offshoot of Theosophy which was founded in 1930s America. This movement was created by Guy Ballard and his wife, Edna.   I AM is said to have been the first UFO religion and despite it's legal and public relations difficulties the movement has been successful and has inspired many subsequent movements that continue to gain strength today. Including QAnon and the Libertarian movement.   Through the course of this episode we learn that the story underpinning I AM was actually re-purposed by Guy and Edna Ballard, originally coming from William Dudley Pelley, also known as 'America's Hitler' and the leader of the American Nazi-aligned group The Silver Shirts, of which Guy and Edna Ballard were a part of.
