House Inhabit Podcast

As a follow-up to yesterday’s video: I heard from Nick — he’s OK but on lockdown all week after an inmate attacked a guard. He explains on our call.HIH Archive Dedicated to His CaseThis audio was recorded yesterday afternoon; I wanted his reaction to hearing his name again in the news again because of the NYT article about the suicide note— a year after I wrote about it. The note has been mentioned by Nick several times before in exclusive audio clips shared over the past two years. It goes to show how slow mainstream outlets are to pursue critical angles sourced and pre-packaged by independent efforts, and how much the public still relies on them to shape their perception on most things. The NYT is now pushing to unseal the Epstein note; I expect they may have more success than I did. Stay tuned. This is a public episode.

From the grave, we finally get Epstein’s “side.” Today’s conversation centers on the seven-page document Jay Beecher uncovered this week, buried deep within the Epstein files — where the disgraced financier, in his own words, lays out his version of the scandal, echoing what Jay uncovered over the course of his five-year investigation.JAY WRITES:“Late last night, whilst embarking on another potholing expedition into the mountain of 3.5 million documents that make up the Epstein files, I found something that, remarkably, no-one else has yet found: A long draft statement written by Epstein himself, in which he discussed his sexual appetite, confessed to being a frequent patron of massage parlours and prostitutes, and revealed the truth behind the allegations against him. And, just as remarkable, everything he wrote in the statement corroborates what myself and Jessica have been publicly saying for many years.The following is Jeffrey Epstein’s draft statement in full. I have had the letter authenticated by one of my sources, an individual who was extremely close to Epstein and worked with him to handle the press. I will be giving further context over the coming days.”Read it. You’ll quickly understand why the media is unlikely to go near it. This is a public episode.

My copy of American Canto arrived today. The presale edition I placed weeks ago not realizing I would be gifted an early copy. Familiar already, as I have read and seen it through evolving variations in random excerpts as they shaped over the past year. When I pulled it out of the package I was shocked to see it in badly damaged form. Its spine severely dented. The center, bent like a rooftop. The cover shredded into fanned fringes on the corners. It looked injured. War torn even. Comically so. A nod to its wildly volatile release. Her first book written amid her year in exile. Disgraced in better weather after the scandal knocked her off her course (you all remember how it went down). Malibu, as literary lore goes, is always a good place to write. Also, a good place to start anew. Which is what she did.In American Canto, she writes about the politician. We know him well. In part two, we address that dynamic, him as shared subject. She also writes extensively about the country from the perspective of a twenty something journalist armed with an irreverent candor and a front seat to Trump’s meteoric rise, interjected with philosophy quotes, rock lyrics, poems, and transcripts, arranged like a collage layered by lyrical expression, America framed by poetic patchwork.I like the book. Not because of obvious bias, but because it is a rare and unique genre. Reflections about politics told from the perspective of a woman her age, with the access she managed, and the curiosity that drives it. If anything, one can sense a pure and ferocious desire to know and see and write it all. This is what bonded and then rebounded us. I know tabloid fodder carved a suspicious angle, pinning us as cunning characters up to sinister things. But the reality is, strange fate forced strange union on us. This past year has been a strange one for me, as well. After being burned by some of the people closest to me, slandered by people—some with big platforms and big influence, plus venom in their veins—I was left humiliated and spiritually bruised. Not to mention confused, conflicted, and alone. It is hard to make sense of aimless pursuit once your confidence has been leveled publicly. The only person who could relate was Olivia. She was helpful in lending advice and being excited about my ideas and my interests when no one else was. There was no competition. And no desire to refine reckless edges of our character. Even when we recognized in the other, some form of risk in raw form.Part one of the conversation covers her backstory, growing up a child actor, learning to navigate the moods of a complicated mother who, like my father, suffered from addiction, how she got into political coverage as a teenager, how our feud morphed into a friendship, followed by another feud, and then back to complicated friendship, which I don’t expect all readers to understand. But do think, when all is said and done, it makes for a good story. And I can say with full confidence, that is something we both appreciate equally and unapologetically, above all else.Much of what we discuss, and much of what she writes about, as you will hear, is the subject of distortion.In part two, we address this new season of chaos that has distorted perceptions of American Canto before anyone had a chance to read it and led, just today, to a joint announcement from Olivia and Vanity Fair that her contract as West Coast Editor would expire in the new year without renewal. About that, she told me, “I love Vanity Fair and this decision was made out of respect for the staff and faith in the future of the publication.“The chaos was wrought by a scorned man she barely mentions in the book—and maybe that’s the problem. The few times she does, she calls him “the man I did not marry,” and engages in none of the character assassination that made him go viral on this platform in anticipation of its release. She never tells us in any detail why she “needed to leave,” for instance, but provides restrained clues—“I was used to his efforts to control me”—as she describes “what increasingly appeared to be a mad plot to harm me” that included invasions of privacy and threats to the Politician, who asked her to “deescalate” the situation to prevent the man she did not marry from igniting a scandal. “I tried. I failed,” she writes. The scandal reignited now is harder for her to accept. “Last year, I understood. I fucked up and it was my fault, ultimately, that I had assumed the risk in the first place, so I could not fault anyone else over how my life fell apart or judge the pleasure anyone took in watching it happen,” she told me. “This is different.”A preview of our part two, in which we discuss the actions of the man she did not marry:“It’s nuance VS. the narrative spun by someone I could best describe as a Peeping Tom who thinks that whatever he observed through the keyhole, or heard pressing his ear against the door, or extracted from the object of his obsession when he leapt out from the dark to frighten her, is enough to form an authoritative narrative about what happened inside a room he never entered. But because his version of reality conforms to partisan biases and offers catharsis, the very people who would have you believe that they ‘believe women’ will defer to an abusive man before they give a woman perceived to have intolerably nonconformist political views a chance to speak. There is safety in choosing a side, and I understand why that appeals, but the cost seems too high to me. The stories I tell in American Canto are not conservative or liberal; they’re human.”You can—and should—buy the book to form your own opinion:Filmed by Medium Rare Studio This is a public episode.

Isaac Weishaupt, author, podcaster and occult and symbolism expert, joins me today for a special Halloween episode discussing one of my favorite films and topics, Eyes Wide Shut. Listen along while Isaac walks us through the film and points out the occult symbolism planted by director Stanley Kubrick, highlighting obscure details that even I missed, someone who’s seen the film more times than I can count. It’s truly a timeless Hollywood classic that never gets old. No matter how many times I’ve seen it, I always discover something new. Isaac published a book, Kubrick’s Code, that psychoanalyzes Stanley Kubrick’s most popular films: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, and his final film, Eyes Wide Shut. The book is available on Amazon. Find Isaac's Book Here“Eyes Wide Shut- the more you look at it, the more you find.” -Isaac Weishaupt“Stanley was very much trying to initiate audiences. That’s what it was all about. Initiating the public unbeknownst to them through a ritual.”“When you get into this movie, there is a lot of interesting stuff when it comes to the overall conspiracy of what’s going on with the elites? What’s going on with the Illuminati?” - Isaac WeishauptStory Based On 1962 Novella Dream Story Eye Wide Shut was based on a 1962 novella called Dream Story, written by the eccentric Austrian author Arthur Schnitzler. Schitzler was labeled by some as a “pornographer,” who allegedly started a diary when he was 17-years-old where he would log every orgasm he ever had. Stanley Kubrick was fascinated by Schnitzler’s work and wanted to make a movie based around his novella. Kubrick himself was very into the topic of sex himself. His longtime assistant said Kubrick was always fascinated by pornography and overt sexual imagery. Originally, he envisioned Eyes Wide Shut as a big budget porno. Kubrick Casts Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman Kubrick’s genius mastermind and careful attention to detail was evident from the start. Intentionally seeking out a real-life couple to play the lead roles of Bill and Alice, not only sparked immediate interest from the public craving a graphic and erotic sex scene, but also gave Kubrick a chance to mess with two A-listers emotions. Kubrick had a disdain for Hollywood, which is why he shortly left the city of broken dreams, never to return again. Before casting Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, he was considering Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger for the roles, which looking back on it now, is odd considering where Baldwin’s tragic fate eventually led him. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were happily married at the time they co-starred in the film. It was 1999. Peak Hollywood golden era, peak baby faced Tom and Nicole. Nobody cared about their interest in Scientology back then, they just wanted to see sex. Lots of sex. And can you blame them? Of course domestic audiences expected raunchy on-screen sex scenes from such a high-profile couple co-starring in a movie together. While their $5 movie ticket didn’t fulfill the primal desires they hoped for, moviegoers definitely left the theater asking themselves a very honest question…“what the f did I just watch?!” Kubrick was known for notoriously creating tension between his actors on set. He would allegedly create high-tension environments during the filming process. It wouldn’t be hard to believe that Kubrick used the dark storyline of the film itself to naturally instigate jealousy between Tom and Nicole. When Nicole Kidman was making out with the naval officer, Tom Cruise wasn’t allowed on set. When Tom Cruise was walking around the sex house, Nicole Kidman wasn’t allowed, which makes us wonder if Kubrick was purposely toying with his actors’ emotions. Nicole and Tom split up in 2001, only two years after the film was released in 1999. Eyes Wide Shut is a tale ahead of its time, questioning monogamy and the sanctity of marriage, back at a time when a strong heterosexual family unit was applauded in media. It’s also the token film of reference for those who believe the world is ran by an elite secret society who participate in ritualistic orgies.Symbols Used in Eyes Wide ShutDuring the opening scene of Eyes Wide Shut, you see a few symbols that show the main characters entering a new realm of reality. These symbols are used to show these characters entering a new world to witness how the elites behave. * Mirrors: symbolically representing entering a new realm. Ex. Alice in Wonderland through the lookin glass. Isaac believes Kubrick named the main character, Alice, to draw analogies to Alice in Wonderland. There’s several scenes in the movie showing the characters looking into mirrors, predominantly Alice. * Twin Pillars: representing the entrance to the mystical place, twin pillars are seen at the Temple of Soloman. This shows how the characters enter a new realm, entering a new dimension to see how the elites live. * Black and White Checkered Floor: “The Moses Pavement,” a common freemason symbol. Bill and Alice arrive at the party and are walking on the black and white checkered floor. * Eight-pointed-star of Ishtar: representing the Goddess Ishtar: The Mesopotamian Goddess of Love, Sex and War. * Blue lighting: seems to be used to evoke a dreamlike effect. The entire film has an ethereal quality. * Masks: representing the suppression of the ego to change the subject’s perspective’s on reality. * Hoodwink: A symbol used in freemasonry and occult rituals, where they cover the eye’s of the candidate with a hoodwink. This represents the candidate’s ignorance and is symbolic of them living in the darkness. When the candidate makes it through the ritual, they remove the hoodwink. They are finally enlightened hence have there are “eyes wide open.” * Nick Nightingale wears a hoodwink at the Gnostic orgy.Alice Representing the “Goddess of Wisdom” Isaac believes Nicole Kidman’s character, Alice, represents the Gnostic Goddess of Wisdom or the “Sophia.” Throughout the film, Tom Cruise’s character, Bill, is portrayed as a moron while Alice is portrayed as sharp and all-knowing. Symbolically, you see this in the beginning of the film, when Bill emerges from a dark room and Alice is always in a light room, symbolizing that Alice is the “illuminated, enlightened one.” Gnos·ti·cism: a belief that the world we live in his set up to worship a false God and humanity needs to find a way to move past this God and move into the real heavens. Does Kubrick Reference Epstein and Ghislaine?Film buffs examining Eyes Wide Shut closely have pointed out a continuity error during the famous Ziegler party scene. When Nicole Kidman, “Alice,” is walking off to the bathroom, there’s a grey haired man behind her who resembles Jeffrey Epstein standing next to a female who looks an awful lot like Ghislaine Maxwell, down to the signature gold buttoned blazer she’s wearing. Kubrick was known for his incessant and obsessive filmmaking process, often making actors redo scenes sometimes up to 70 times, so it’s highly unlikely that anyone in this scene is a toss away reference under a renowned perfectionist’s thematic vision. Rockefeller Plaza Parallels Anytime you hear the word “Illuminati,” the Rockefeller name usually follows, as most occultists believe the Rockefeller family is the official bloodline of the Illuminati. Interestingly, Maria Farmer revealed on a podcast interview that Ghislaine Maxwell once told her that her “biggest protectors” are the Rockefeller family. At the world famous Rockefeller Plaza in New York City stands a statue of Prometheus. Prometheus is an archetype of these occult doctrines who believe there’s a Prometheus Luciferian figure trying to help humanity wake up to the truth that their God is a mean God. They believe Lucifer is trying to help mankind with technology so that man can surpass the false God. According to Isaac, the Prometheus archetype ties in with every digital matrix and transhumanism movement theory. In Eyes Wide Shut, they talk about how Bill was helping Nuala Windsor get something out of her eye at Rockefeller Plaza. They said she had “something in her eye.” The all-seeing eye, of course, is the most common symbol mentioned in Illuminati symbolism, symbolizing enlightenment into the occult doctrine. In this scene, they are talking about Bill literally “opening her eyes.” The Rockefellers used to own a restaurant at Rockefeller Plaza called Rainbow Room. On the Rainbow Room floor, there’s a giant eight-pointed star of Ishtar which you see at Victor Zielger’s place. Kubrick shows this star multiple times throughout the film. Stanley Kubrick’s Obsession with the Rothschilds Nicole Kidman once said that Stanley Kubrick was “obsessed with the Rothschilds.” The estate where the orgy scene was filmed was built for Baron Mayer Amschel de Rothschild. The Rothschilds own a large percentage of the town Milton Keynes in England. The town square has statues wearing the same Venitian masks seen in Eyes Wide Shut. Isaac’s “Over the Rainbow” TheoryThere’s a scene in Eyes Wide Shut where Bill is searching for a costume for the party and goes to a shop called ‘Rainbow Fashions’ and when he approaches he has two choices: to go up or down the stairs, and he chooses to go up, over and above.“There’s theories that this is a mind control element where people who go ‘over the rainbow’ and enter a disassociated state. And when they go ‘over the rainbow’ they’re sorta brainwashed and serve their masters in the hypnotic trance and they perceive reality like it’s a dream. So they kind of enter the dreamworld and never come back.” The word “rainbow” pops up multiple times throughout the film. There is a scene where Bill asks two women flirting with him where they are taking him, and they reply by saying, “where the rainbow ends.” “The rainbow symbolizes an entrance to a new world. Bill is about to be exposed to an Illuminati/elite world, a much different reality than normies know about.” -Isaac Weishaupt In the Spirit of Halloween….Hocus Pocus Conspiracies/Parallels The prostitute in the film, Domino, is played by an actress, Vinessa Shaw, who played the main character Allison in the original Hocus Pocus movie, in 1993. During a recent Hocus Pocus deep dive, Isaac noticed that the spell book used by the witches was encrypted with a dark reference to a Satanic book from the 1980s. The witches throw the spell book down and the pages start to fly across the screen quickly. Naturally, Isaac being the detailed researcher he is, paused the movie to land on the frame spelling out a combination of Latin words, so he could make out what was written. He googled the words and found out that these specific words originally came from a book from the 1980s that had a whole section of Satanic witchcraft rituals, specifically sex magic rituals where the witches would pretend to have sex with the devil and chant. This scene occurs in the actual movie itself. This is not the first time we see hidden messages in films that only people who are looking closely enough would discover. In Hocus Pocus 2, they have an Eyes Wide Shut party where they’re wearing Venitian masks. Kubrick’s Death: Who’s Side Was He Really On?Sex, death and wisdom are common elements found in occult research. These three recurring themes play a powerful role throughout the entire Eyes Wide Shut film. Stanley Kubrick died only six days after the film’s screening. Isaac always found the timing of his death strange. Even after years of researching Stanley Kubrick, Isaac remains unsure whose team Kubrick was really on and whether Kubrick was trying to expose the elite or part of the elite himself. “Stanley Kubrick was either exposed, taking part of or trying to reveal the truth about what happens in these inner circles of power and the elites.”Other Films that Challenge Viewers to Question Reality Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch both have made many films that share parallels with the Wizard of Oz. In one scene in Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick used the password “Fidelio” as the password to get into the party, but originally had the password as “Oz.” David Lynch once said, “there’s not a day go by where I don't think about the Wizard of Oz.” Oddly enough, Kubrick’s daughter said that Kubrick hated The Wizard of Oz. She commented: “I know that he hated The Wizard of Oz. Ha Ha!”“There’s a subconscious messaging of questioning reality. I think the whole story Alice in Wonderland and the Wizard of Oz is about questioning reality and opening your perspective to other views.” - Isaac Weishaupt This is a public episode.

I had the pleasure of hosting Shane Cashman of Timcast at my home last month a couple days before the GOP debate in Simi Valley. As two recovering liberals, we had plenty to talk about during his stay (hindered slightly by the stifling migraine I was battling that whole week.)In this conversation, Shane explains his skepticism over Evan Rachel Wood’s accusations against Marilyn Manson.Readers, you can now clip your own favorite moments from this episode and share that clip anywhere—I'm so excited to see what you'll choose!“He made himself this boogeyman, that was part of his performance, being this vampire image. But then if you look at it as a fan, and know his lyrics and his past, it’s almost laughable.” -Shane Cashman Marilyn Manson: An Easy Target?Shane describes his idea of political warfare, dating back to when Mao in China would manipulate the public by creating synthetic realities by marrying a truth to fiction. “Look at Manson. We know he’s done crazy things on stage, probably wild stuff with exs. They take that and marry it to whatever narrative they have and BOOM synthetic reality and then people who don’t have time to look into it and believe it because look at him- he must be the boogeyman, ” Shane said, understanding that Manson has obviously made himself an easy target throughout the years with his and provocative gothic image. Cashman on Evan Rachel Wood: “I think she has no distinction between reality between reality and fiction.” “She’s a child star who got popular really young. She talks in her documentary about having a bad childhood. I think there’s some trauma there. She gets popular from that movie Thirteen and there’s a scene in Thirteen where she’s screaming and crying and that’s the one note she then plays out throughout her whole life. She takes that character and that becomes her life.” “She even said through filming Westworld is how she opened up to her memories and abuse with Manson. So there’s no distinction for her. Her whole life has been on camera. “And I think she is also an opportunist. She saw that victimhood was being catapulted into the limelight. She saw that as a way to destroy any power structure in her way. She then gets linked up with Ilma Gore, who is a legit activist.” Evan Rachel Wood Forged FBI Letters“Evan Rachel Wood we know now has falsified FBI documents. They forged FBI letters. Evan Rachel Wood submitted FBI documents for a custody battle she had with her son, Jamie Bell, which she eventually lost.” - Shane Cashman “If the truth was on her side, she wouldn’t have to forge FBI letters, she wouldn’t have to gaslight women into thinking they have repressed memories . That Ashley Morgan character has already written to the court that she lied and ‘those girls have convinced me otherwise.’ She said, ‘I was gaslit by these women. And actually there was nothing bad between me and Manson. It was all consensual. Which was weird, because it wasn’t use by the judge in his favor.” - Shane CashmanDocumentaries As Propaganda “She’s saying Manson’s manipulative, right? Meanwhile, that whole documentary is propaganda and a manipulation.” - Shane Cashman on the two-part HBO documentary Phoenix Rising. As I mentioned to Shane in our conversation, I do feel like these documentaries are highly effective at shaping or shifting public opinion. Sometimes, all it takes is a well-produced documentary these days to cement a narrative in the public’s eye. The danger there is that the documentaries then work as propaganda pieces when people don’t stop to question who funded, filmed, or backed them. “It’s like she cast a spell on the audience.” - Shane Cashman says of Evan Rachel Wood in Phoenix Rising. “I think radical feminism is infantilizing women. It makes them like these blameless angels.” “We should get back to the actual victims and care about those people.” - Shane Cashman on the #MeToo movementWill the Manson Case Go to Court?As a fan of Manson, Shane hopes that the Manson case doesn’t go to court. “As a fan, I hope they don’t have to go to court. They’re trying to make it so he can’t even testify.” A friend told Shane that even if it doesn’t go to court, the damage is done. “The process is the punishment,” they said. “They don’t give a s**t at the end. They just care that you destroy him. ” Shane said about Evan Rachel Wood and the other women involved. * Marilyn Manson reached a settlement last month with a woman who sued the singer for rape before it went to trial. She filed the suit in 2021, alleging that Manson raped her and deprived her of food, sleep, and a sense of safety. She also claimed he threatened to “bash her head in” if she reported the abuse stemming from 2011.“I was fully prepared for trial and never in a million years thought I would ever settle, but over the past two-and-a-half years I have silently endured threats, bullying, harassment and various forms of intimidation that have intensified over the past few weeks,” Doe says in a statement to Rolling Stone. “Marilyn Manson attended my deposition, and I was forced to answer seven hours of aggressive questioning with him staring at me from across the table. I’ve been told that this almost never happens, as it’s cruel, and that a main reason for it would be to intimidate and inflict emotional distress on a victim.” This is a public episode.

Edit: This conversation was recorded late yesterday evening. Since then, Kanye made a surprise appearance during Lil Durk’s set. “At around the same time Cudi ended his set, Lil Durk was performing on another stage at Rolling Loud, where West — who now goes by Ye — made a surprise appearance. During his brief cameo, the superstar rapper and fashion mogul’s performed his hit song “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1,” from his 2016 album, The Life of Pablo. Watch Ye’s surprise appearance in a fan-captured video here.”- Via BillboardAnd Britney’s manager, Vicky, emailed to apologize for any misunderstandings her live may have caused. She explained how the clips on IG were taken out of context, to make her comments appear as if they were specifically referring to me as a “next level” conspiracy site when she was actually addressing the general madness she encounters online because of her role in Britney’s life.I do appreciate her reaching out directly. And to be honest, I was not the least bit insulted by being called a “gossip site.” In fact, I embrace that definition. It’s the conspiracy assumptions that irk me. How people love to confuse unpopular “theories” for conspiracies, to try and discredit the person behind them. Really, where would Britney even be now, if those old “conspiracies” weren’t finally dragged into mainstream consciousness, and eventually proven true? This is a public episode.
