Achtung: Heute Abend diskutieren wir die Revolutionen von 1848 und wie sie die Polizei zur Weißglut brachten. Die deutsche Polizei (wer sonst?) beschloss, einen grenzüberschreitenden Verband zu gründen, um das edle Proletariat und seine rüstigen Organisationsbemühungen im Keim zu ersticken. Dabei schufen sie so etwas wie Interpol: den ersten Entwurf. Seid dabei, wenn Ghost Stories for the End of the World und The Return of the Repressed sich mit kranken Truthähnen herumschlagen.

Nic joins me for a dark journey through the European side of Jeffrey Epstein's transnational sex trafficking/paedophile/blackmail/espionage network. We discuss Belgium, Britain, Norway, France, and more. Nic walks us through the links between players in the Epstein operation, the Dutroux Affair, and recent scandals in France and the UK, and we reflect on an international ruling class run amok. Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.   Check out Nic's excellent work here: https://ircnic.substack.com/   UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE AND SUPPORT GHOST STORIES HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd

For your consideration:  TOWNHOUSE Graveyard Bunker is back, but tonight we’re not discussing history with a Halloween twist. Tonight, your humble host thought he’d tell you a real spook story.  I don’t believe in the supernatural, but I still, almost thirty years later, have no logical explanation for the series of strange events my family experienced in a certain house, in a certain place, over the course of three years in the mid-90s.  Perhaps you do.  Names and certain details/events have been changed or lightly fictionalised to protect the living. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.   SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd  

A stroll through the suburbia at twilight takes an unexpected psychological turn; the werewolf approaches ever closer; we talk football films and football fascism; fascism as a weapon of the ruling class   **UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE HERE** GHOST STORIES PATREON  

Part 1: Deep state hustlers, managed democracy and managed violence, the life and times of Tommy Robinson in his own words, Christian nationalism, O9A, MI5, gladio, dark money and dark ops, football firms, informants and assets, cocaine, the non-materiality of England, State accelerationism, and British fascism as an informal instrument of civic order. This is the prologue to A History of the Werewolf in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and we are standing on the edge.   **SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE** https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd   **SHOW SOUNDTRACKS HERE** https://ghoststoriesfortheendoftheworld.bandcamp.com/album/the-belgian-x-files-a-soundtrack  

I'm joined by independent researcher and unlicensed Irish PI Ryan to discuss the Catholic Church in Ireland, the arrival of Opus Dei, and a bizarre ritualistic murder that took place in 1973.   TEASER - TO UNLOCK THE FULL SHOW SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd

We explore the origins of the Vatican-CIA alliance and Josemaria's arrival in Rome. While Opus Dei consolidates its power in Spain and reaches an uneasy accommodation with Vatican II, it begins a major expansion into the new world, collecting friends everywhere from New York to Santiago. By the early 1970s, Opus Dei members are ready to play an integral role in the neoliberal coup in Chile, and offer theological and political justifications for the ensuing campaign of state terror and repression. This one has a bit of everything: faith, fascism, terrorism, miracles, murder and money laundering.   SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd

We’re setting the table for the year ahead in Ghost Stories, and to do so we’ll be following a number of threads that may or may not have much to do with each other. Key to this one is the UK’s relationship with the US, which we use to explore how unnerving it feels to be alive in the Hermit Kingdom in the last days, its mind blown out by redundant upper management and a deep state that no longer has any purpose. We mainline the DMT released from the dying spider’s brain, exploring Keir Starmer as the Last Man, dreams in the imperial core, surveillance, terrorism, the dregs of empire, classified US-UK programs like GHOSTHUNTER and APPARITION, temporal dislocation, and long-dead spree killers haunting the Yorkshire moors. 

People try to be the king but the ace is back, with a banging new theme tune and a story that explores the decadence of the Palermo Belle Époque. The mafia is now well entrenched and reaching ever further into the Italian system; a banking crisis exposes industrial-scale fraud and leads to the first eminent corpse.   This episode is free to all but most subsequent BOW episodes will be available ONLY ON PATREON, which is HERE:   https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd   Check out the imposing walls of sound I have erected to accompany various episodes and miniseries here:   https://ghoststoriesfortheendoftheworld.bandcamp.com/

It's been too long since last we took the Saucer of Insight out for a spin through the feverish Caverns of the Mind, so tonight we're finally getting weird again to talk about those lovable scamps in human skin in black suits: THE MEN IN BLACK. Who they? Where be? What is? And but? All these questions and more will be answered as our good friend Robert Skvarla joins myself and Bradley to explore the social, cultural and political history of the MIB phenomenon.   SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd  

This one goes off the rails in a major way because I'm out of practice and it's been a very long month. We begin with an overview of where the main show is heading and our plans for the future, then we talk about (in no particular order here): poison eurodwarf Polanski, occultism and control, Aktion T4, Yorkshire Aunties, pandemics, apartments, left wing thinkpieces, serial killers, if Boris Johnson really had covid, exorcism, the Catholic Church, escaped nazis, lockdowns, American voters, generational warfare, Ira Levin, my Donald Trump impression, homeworking, Satanic panics, hippies, the importance of commute time, and more besides. I am running on fumes and I need sleep.

"A couple travel to Sweden to visit their friend's rural hometown for its fabled midsummer festival, but what begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult."   None of the synopses really get the pitch right but what the hell, this'll do.   Dir: Ari Aster   Joined for this one by Marcus and Seb of THE RETURN OF THE REPRESSED podcast

"Set against the backdrop of Belgium's most notorious unsolved crime spree, 1985 begins as three friends - Vicky, her brother Franky, and his best friend Marc - begin a new chapter of their lives, when they set off from their hometown to Brussels. But as their adulthood and careers in the big city commence, the trio risks losing their innocence and noble illusions, as they find themselves caught in the middle of the horrifying events that shocked a generation and will come to leave a scar on the entire country."   Nic joins me for an epilogue of sorts to talk about the very good TV show 1985 and kickstart MOVIE SEASON the right way.   SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd   BELGIAN X-FILES SOUNDTRACK HERE: https://ghoststoriesfortheendoftheworld.bandcamp.com/album/the-belgian-x-files-a-soundtrack

Myself and @IRC_NIC discuss the sheer size of the case and consider what The Sprawl means. We go long on how the cops and the media conspired to kill the network angle, and then we look at the truly global scale of the Dutroux Affair and break down what, exactly, the Network was, its historical origins, the social context, how it worked, where it came from, and how it dealt with the threat of exposure.   **SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE** https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd  

EXTREME CONTENT WARNING Regina Louf talks about her experience in the network, the pressure mounts on the investigating team, people continue to die, the families of the victims are pushed to the edge of madness, and Belgium finds itself on the brink of revolution.   **UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE HERE** https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd

Tonight we tie off Brabant Killers Redux by looking at an especially bizarre event that occurred just before the final massacre, using it as an illustrative example of how deep into the weeds you can fall, if you so wish, in trying to understand this most eerie of true stories. We then explore various theories people have put forward over the years to explain the crimes, and offer our own holistic take for good measure. We close by discussing what became of major players in the case, and set up threads we will pursue for the remaining episodes of TBXF.   ***PREVIEW*** TO UNLOCK THE FULL SHOW SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd

The first Gang Commission, the aftermath of the Brabant Killers operation, and the consequences.   https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd   Note: This is actually the first part of a four hour recording we did, but after some discussion we decided to cut it down into more manageable 60 - 90 minute instalments. This means Aftermath pt ii will land next week and, most likely, there will be an Aftermath iii dropping the week after. Then we're back to the usual 2 week release schedule. This now means that instead of 10 or 11 X-Files episodes there will probably be 13 or 14. Hope you enjoy, and have a good weekend.

The First Wave.

I'm joined again by @irc_nic as the Belgian Autumn begins.   Prince Albert and the Belgian business class over-promise and under-deliver in a trade deal with the Saudis. The resulting financial scandal exposes a vice network, blackmail operations and massive embezzlement. The Belgian establishment scrambles to cover it all up, but things take a dramatically darker turn when a psychiatrist files for divorce and his wife decides to share explosive secrets about extremely powerful people.   *SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE*: https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd   

I'm joined by Belgian researcher Nic (@irc_nic) to talk about the post-war far-right in Belgium: what it believed, what it did, how it ensured loyalty, who profited...and who didn't. Paramilitary groups, Gladio, cults, dirty cops, gangsters and crooked spooks. They formed subterranean networks of mind-warping size that covertly influenced the course of modern Belgian history and planned everything from coups to terror attacks.

**SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE** https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd   We discuss Forrest Gump and boomers. The film arrived at a time when competing claims of ownership over the legacy of the 60s and “what it all meant” were becoming a major cultural issue, manifesting everywhere from the halls of Congress to The Simpsons to the work of pop horror guru Stephen King. What Forrest Gump perfectly demonstrates is how the American imaginary has misinterpreted its own history. From early meetings with Elvis Presley and an encounter with the civil rights movement, to a spell in Vietnam and a chat with John Lennon, Forrest embodies the American as it would like to see itself, merely floating on the river of history, without bearing any responsibility for the shape it takes. We then probe the deeper implications of the films reactionary politics, and the death of nancy adam susan nancy adam susan the 60s dream. For the last third of the episode we discuss how Ron Howard unwittingly applies the technique of a “broadcast signal interruption” to historical narratives, and we then explore what implications this may have for the eyes watching unblinking a far more sinister agenda.
