0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:21.240
<v Speaker 1>is kind of thing. Look, I don't know why we

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>do this, but Sophie says this is critical for traffic.

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is entirely so at Sophie's command. This

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 1>is following her orders. Yeah, you're welcome, listeners. Yeah, she

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>loves the ATONAL grunting. She says it's it's the only

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>reason people listen to this podcast. Welcome back to behind

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the bastards, the podcast that is legally required to listen.

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>If you have friends who aren't listening, call the FBI

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>immediately and report them. Called CPS. You know, one way

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>or the other have the state do violence to them

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>for not listening to our show. We have to issue

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:05.600

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.759
<v Speaker 1>how how are you doing in part two? I'm doing great.

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I got a little Oreo Brownie bite. Oh, that sounds good. Yeah,

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I had a fistful of blueberries from my front garden. Healthier,

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>A K A hey shady lady from the boss Level Podcast,

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>your twitch streamer, a Youtuber, Um, a colleague of my

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>nemesis and also the editor of our podcasts, Daniel Yes yes,

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>one day I will destroy him, but today he knows why, Sophie. Today, though,

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>today we're talking about Dr William Sadler, his wife Lena

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and their career as pop psychologists slash eugenicists and, uh now,

0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>debunkers of automatic writing and mediumship. Final, Amena. So they've

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>they've pivoted. As we hit part two now and we

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>talked about automatic writing. Right, that is basically somebody claims

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>to have been taken over by some sort of entity

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.799
<v Speaker 1>that is not them, that is writing using their body. Right,

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>if you've ever seen six cents, they have the kid.

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the kid in sixth sense that does

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>automatic writing. Um, I think that. I think Bruce Willis

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>the therapist, tells him to like just write and eventually

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>your real words that you need to say are going

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.559
<v Speaker 1>to come out, and then it's just all the ghosts angry,

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, and then the mom friends and she's like,

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>holy sh it, what's wrong with my kid? That's actually

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>how I write all of these podcasts. Okay, yes, all

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 1>of these podcasts are automatically written by me channeling various ghosts. Um,

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:53.839
<v Speaker 1>it's good ship. It's ghosts written by ghosts. This one

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 1>oddly enough, written by the Ghost of Joseph Stalin. Yeah,

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>he's a lot more vulgar than I thought. Yeah, out,

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>that's that's J stall so uh. Anyway, the most prominent

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>proponent of automatic writing in the post war era was

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Sir Oliver Lodge, a well known physicist and a pioneer

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>in the science of radio waves. Lodge lost a son

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>in Belgium in Nineteen fifteen to a German artillery shell

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and then a younger brother to the flu in Nineteen nineteen.

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 1>So he's kind of like the human embodiment of this

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>like wave of grief that brings people to spiritualism in

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the post war era. He also lost a brother in

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>law in Belgium in nineteen fourteen, but who gives a

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:35.119
<v Speaker 1>shit about brother in laws, right Um, anyway, so much

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>loss spurs him to explore life after death and in

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Nineteen sixteen he writes a book about a series of

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>contacts he claimed to have had with his dead son, Raymond.

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Lodge and his wife sat with several mediums who attempted

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>to communicate with their boy through tactics like table tilting

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and automatic writing, and I write up history dot com

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 1>notes and his messages Raymond offered a comforting vision of

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the great beyond, complete with flowers, trees, dogs, cats and birds.

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>He repeatedly assured his parents that he was happy. He

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>told them he'd reconnected with his great grandfather, with his

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>great grandfather, with his late grandfather, plus a brother and

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>sister who died in infancy, and made many new friends.

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>He reported that soldiers who had lost an arm and

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>battle found it magically restored, although those who had been

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>blown to pieces took a bit longer to become whole.

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>And I do love the vision of like an afterlife

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>that's perfect. But also, if you get blown up, it

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>takes a while to get unblown up. Like it's not

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>that perfect. The afterlife there's still like ship they gotta

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>deal with right. You gotta Wait To get rebuilt. If

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>that happens to you, it's kind of cool. Um. Dr

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>William Sadler heartily rejected the claims of supernatural experiences published

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 1>by people like lodge, but he would later claim in

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eleven he was reached out to by a neighbor

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 1>who was concerned that her husband would occasionally lapse into

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.919
<v Speaker 1>a deep sleep and breathe abnormally. She was unable to

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.359
<v Speaker 1>rouse him. During these episodes, the doctor Sadler agreed to

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>sit with the sleeping subject, as he was known, and

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>take notes on what he did. At some point he

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 1>began to speak. In one party who was present at

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the time recorded what occurred. Quote. The subject was moistening

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>his lips. Perhaps we should ask a question. How are

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>you feeling? To the great astonishment of everyone, the subject spoke,

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>but the voice was peculiar, not his normal voice. The

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>voice identified itself as a student visitor on an observation

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>mission from another planet. This being, apparently was conversing through

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the sleeping subject by some means, and this then became

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 1>a common occurrence. So while he's like a debunker and

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>going around and he's doing like these big show debunkings

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>with his friend the magician, he starts talking with this

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>visitor who claims to be like in the body of

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>like a guy who lives in his apartment building Um,

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and they start taking notes on what this this being

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.279
<v Speaker 1>is saying. And again the timeline is all funked up here.

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>The book that Saddler writes about this isn't published until

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.479
<v Speaker 1>the fifties. Most sources will say that the first visitation.

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>The first time he talks to this guy will he's

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>channeling someone. Happens in nineteen eleven. Some claims say nineteen

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>O six. This probably never happened at all. So it's

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>again entirely, you know, academic. But Sadler later claims it

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.159
<v Speaker 1>starts in like nineteen eleven or so Um, and his

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>claim is that like this, this other, this person who's

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 1>like being possessed in the night, is being possessed by

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>a student visitor, basically an intern from these advanced spiritual

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>beings who won't run like a Galactic Federation. So basically

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.039
<v Speaker 1>there's like intern is hanging out and looking at earth

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.159
<v Speaker 1>and like talking through this sleeping man to our buddy

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>William Sadler. Starting in the sleepers switched from speaking with

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the voice of a visitor while passed out to doing

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 1>automatic writing, producing voluminous handwritten documents with filled with fantastic

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 1>stories about this alien civilization. So, against saddler claims, this

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>goes on for decades. There's no evidence whatsoever of this. Um.

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.039
<v Speaker 1>The first writing that we have by Sadler on the

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 1>matter was published in a nineteen twenty nine book the

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 1>mind and mischief, which is mostly a debunking of mediums

0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>in psychics. In the appendix he wrote about two cases

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 1>he could not adequately explain, including this one quote. The

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>other exception has to do with a rather peculiar case

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 1>of psychic phenomena, one which I find myself unable to classify.

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I was brought into contact with it in the summer

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>of nineteen eleven and I have had it under my

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>observation more or less ever since, having been present at

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>probably two and fifty of the night sessions, many of

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>which have been attended by a stenographer who made voluminous notes.

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 1>A thorough study of this case has convinced me that

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it is not one of ordinary trance. This man is

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>utterly unconscious, wholly oblivious to what takes place and, unless

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>told about it subsequently, never knows that he has been

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>used as a sort of clearing house for the coming

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and going of alleged extra planetary personalities. Psychoanalysis, hypnotism, intensive

0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 1>comparison failed to show that the written or spoken messages

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>of this individual have origin in his own mind. Much

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>of the material secured through this subject is quite contrary

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>to his habits of thought, to the way in which

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 1>he has been taught and to his entire philosophy. In fact,

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 1>of much that we have secured, we have failed to

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 1>find anything of its nature in existence. So basically he's

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>like this guy is a normal, boring, asked Christian like

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>me and he's telling all these fantastic stories about aliens.

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Clearly that means they're real. It's just you keep the word,

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.239
<v Speaker 1>you keep using as grift and it's all I'm thinking

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>is this guy, saddler, has established himself as an expert

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>on debunking spiritual psychic phenomena, except my friend over here,

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 1>because WHO's legit? Yeah, and it's he claims nineteen eleven,

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>because that puts it before the spiritual is the spiritualism

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:36.720
<v Speaker 1>like craze bursts. There's no evidence of him claiming that

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:40.199
<v Speaker 1>this guy exists to other people until like the late twenties,

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.079
<v Speaker 1>and he doesn't publish anything about this until the fifties.

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.959
<v Speaker 1>So again, I think he's I think he's made up

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this. Obviously, at some point there is

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a larger group of people that he's reportedly going back to.

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about that in a second. So who the

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>sleeping subject was has never been made clear. Saddler and

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.679
<v Speaker 1>his fall. Followers would later claim he had been, quote,

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 1>a hard boiled businessman, member of the Board of Trade

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and Stock Exchange, in order to make him seem more credible.

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 1>It was. It was one of Dr Harvey Kellogg's sons.

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 1>It was like his brother in law. It was a

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Kellogg keeping the family yeah. At any rate, this right

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>up from the rootledge text ufo religions, edited by Christopher Partridge,

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>tells the next part of the story. Later, two other

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>people were admitted to witness the events, one of whom

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.679
<v Speaker 1>became the secretary. Together, the six people involved became known

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.319
<v Speaker 1>as the contact commission, although it was only ever the

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 1>sleeping subject who was used as the actual contact. William

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Sadler's initial explanation for the event was that it was

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.640
<v Speaker 1>being generated by the mind of the individual. However, he

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 1>had abandoned this initial diagnosis of automatic speaking after examining

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the sleeping subject under hypnosis. Similarly, further attempts to find

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>another scientific answer failed. The sleeping subject was also viewed

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>by Sadler as being in good health and any notion

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of him suffering from any form of psychiatric ailment was

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.599
<v Speaker 1>refuted by Sadler. So again we know that this is

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 1>real because we hypnotized him and he didn't admit to

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>having faked it. Right, great, solid. That seems bulletproof. Thank you,

0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Dr Sadler. So more detail on the contact commission comes

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>from the Book God talk, which described and then that's

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>by our buddy the gooch, which describes it, as quote,

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>a tightly interwoven incestuous family units. So this contact commission,

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 1>which is always described in these very business like terms

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.560
<v Speaker 1>in order to make it seem like well, as a scientist,

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I immediately put together a commission of people who can

0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:38.679
<v Speaker 1>analyze this. It's all saddlers and Kellogg's right like. It's

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 1>all family. It's a bunch of his like Kim The stenographer,

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 1>is there adopted adult daughter Um. There's never any good

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 1>reason given as to why Sadler found this example of

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 1>automatic writing to be legitimate by but it rejected all

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 1>other mediums and their ilk. Some sources claim he continued

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 1>to doubt that this person was real, was really channeling

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>anything up until nineteen thirty six, and that it was

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 1>his wife, Lena who was the major impulse to keep

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:09.560
<v Speaker 1>having these conversations with aliens Um. And it's worth noting

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.680
<v Speaker 1>that there's only really two major differences between this case,

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.679
<v Speaker 1>which Sadler declared real, and other automatic writing claims from

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the same period. Number One, the sources here are intergalactic

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>alien governmental interns and not spirits or divine entities, which

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>is a change Um. And number two, the claims they

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 1>make are replete with specific scientific claims. So they're making

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:36.880
<v Speaker 1>specific scientific claims about space and the universe. Um, some

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>of these claims are very wrong. They claim that the

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Universe is eight hundred and fifty billion years old. It's

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:43.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not. I mean it's like fifty billions, something like that.

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 1>They make claims about like how planets formed via a

0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>cretion where, which has also generally been debunked. Other claims

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.439
<v Speaker 1>are kind of weirdly close. They make a claim about

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.839
<v Speaker 1>the speed of light. That isn't far off. Um, had

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.440
<v Speaker 1>that already been established at that time? No, no, again,

0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.079
<v Speaker 1>this is the fucking twenties and stuff that they're they're

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 1>putting this out, although the book isn't published until the fifties.

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 1>So then again, like when some of this has been

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.439
<v Speaker 1>it's a mix Um, but that is something that's different, right.

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Is there actually they're actually making like sci fi claims here,

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 1>like it's like it's like star Trek technobabble stuff. It's

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>nearly all bullshit, um, but the fact that they are

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>putting out specific scientific claims in their automatic writing is

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.439
<v Speaker 1>really different, because nearly all of this is just kind

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>of spiritual in nature as opposed to yeah, it just

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.319
<v Speaker 1>makes me think of like l Ron Hubbard and scientology.

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't have this kind of like like full I

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I want to call it a philosophy

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, but I'm I'm very involved in the Tarot

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:45.079
<v Speaker 1>communities and the witchy magical realm or whatever, and as

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>soon as somebody tells me that they're the only person

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>that has contact with a specific alien, I run directions,

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 1>as you're the only one that has access to this

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 1>information and it's some you know, mystical being that only

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>talks to you. Okay, I'm out ahead and it's interesting.

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>You see what they're doing here. They're trying to make

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>it not seem like that by saying, well, there's a

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>commission of people, but and eventually it's a few hundred,

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>but none of them talk directly to the subject. So

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the subject will write a bunch of ships and they'll

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.839
<v Speaker 1>present it to this big meeting of this forum of

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.319
<v Speaker 1>folks and then people will like write up questions or

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 1>vote on questions to ask and they're just given another

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.839
<v Speaker 1>sheet the next week, but none of them get to

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.199
<v Speaker 1>see it get written. It's claimed to be this great

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.960
<v Speaker 1>mystery how the writing gets to anyone. Like the pages

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 1>just appear the next morning and they say, like we

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 1>had people watching over him while he was sleeping and

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 1>then they turned their back for a second and there

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 1>were pages. You know, like it's never clear exactly where

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the pages come from, but obviously nobody ever sees them, Um,

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 1>get written. So that's that's fine. Um, again like spoilers.

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.559
<v Speaker 1>But it's probably Sadler who's writing. Everyone was gonna say

0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 1>it's fine because Sadler says it's okay. He's an expert here.

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, Um, and yeah, you can see shades of

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:02.119
<v Speaker 1>Helena Blovotsky here, right, because she's and I think that

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 1>that's probably who saddler is aping, because blovotsky again kind

0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 1>of comes into prominence in the late eighteen hundreds as

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>an anti spiritualist, like pushing a very different set of things.

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.080
<v Speaker 1>So she doesn't believe that people are talking to the dead.

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 1>They're talking to spirits, and like these spirits are telling

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>people stories of this vaxed epic Spanning Racial History. Right,

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Blovotsky has got these ancient masters who are remnants of

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 1>an underground super race who started civilization, whereas you can

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of see what what saddler is doing as a

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>derivation of that. Right, because the people he's talking to

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>are these like alien kind of spirits who are basically

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>representatives of this Galactic Federation who are telling people, or

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 1>who are telling humans about like, uh, what's actually happening

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>in the universe and earth's place in it. Um, the

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.600
<v Speaker 1>the aliens who are controlling the subject's body and doing

0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the automatic writing, are called midwayers. Uh, and yeah, they're

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 1>they're giving out all this sci fi ship. So, according

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 1>to the revelations given by the subject to the contact commission,

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 1>which are eventually bundled into a collection of writing called

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the arantia papers, the center of the universe, Um is

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.400
<v Speaker 1>a perfect well, the center of the multiverse, because this

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 1>is a multiverse thing too, right, there's a bunch of Universes,

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 1>at the center of all the universes. The backstory of

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Strange. Okay, yes, yes, very much so. So at

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 1>the center of all of the UNIVERSES is a perfect

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>universe called Hayvona, which is created by God to be

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the eternal core of perfection. It's basically heaven, but heaven's

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>got like millions of worlds and trillions of people and

0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's built to be perfect and it's always perfect.

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 1>And then all of the other universes outside of it

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 1>start out as chaotic and they're free and imperfect, and

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>so people can choose good or evil and each isn't like.

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Each of these universes outside of Havona isn't created by God,

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 1>they're created by one of his sons. He has a

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 1>shipload of kids, like is fucking blasting out babies in

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 1>this in this in this cosmology Um. And so the

0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.280
<v Speaker 1>goal of each of these universes is to gradually work

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 1>towards perfection and become as perfect as Havona. Um. In

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 1>order to achieve this, God lays out an intricate interstellar

0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 1>bureaucracy between all the trillions of worlds and inhabited universes

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and ex worlds are grouped into this category. And then

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>all of the different systems or this and then the

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 1>different galaxies, Yada, Yada, Yada. The multiverse is a big bureaucracy. Um.

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 1>The spirits go into detail about this, but it is

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:37.080
<v Speaker 1>not interesting. Um. As a general rule, the way things

0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 1>work is that life carriers seed each world with life

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and then different children of God guide each world towards

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 1>perfection by sending light skinned, blue eyed aliens named Adam

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and eve down to upstep the natives by breeding with them.

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>And lest they seem too area, and I should not

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 1>know that Adam and eve are also eight feet tall

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and have shimmering bodies. Um, this is like an Anaki,

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 1>like the that's where this comes from, Annochi, big and

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>certain strains of q and on another kind of yeah, spiritual.

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.840
<v Speaker 1>This is again. This is in the thirties, right, so

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 1>this is kind of precursor to all of that ship. Um. Now, unfortunately,

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.439
<v Speaker 1>it's also includes a lot of eugenics, e ship, because again,

0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 1>the idea is that you have these life created on

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.800
<v Speaker 1>these planets and then Adam and Eve's are sent down,

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.200
<v Speaker 1>which is like Adam and Eve is a job, right,

0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 1>that certain perfect beings are given in order to upstep races.

0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.399
<v Speaker 1>So they go in and they're supposed to interbreed with

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the natives enough that quote, inferior stocks will be eliminated

0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and there will be one purified race, one language and

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:50.120
<v Speaker 1>one religion, according to Gardner's summary of things. Now, that's

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.679
<v Speaker 1>what's supposed to happen, but things go wrong on our world,

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:57.960
<v Speaker 1>which is known as Urantia, right, we're earth is ARANTIA. Now,

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Urantia is unique among the planets in the cosmos because

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 1>it develops life independently from the children of God, and

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the Life Cedars are carriers. So the son of God

0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 1>who was supposed to manage upstepping life on earth is Lucifer,

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 1>but he and his chief assistant, Satan, decided to rebel instead. Um,

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 1>they advocate for, quote, self assertion and Liberty for themselves

0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and the people on Arantia. And this is a bad thing, right.

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 1>This is framed as a bad thing. Satan, are two

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.879
<v Speaker 1>different entities. There are two different entities and they are

0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.479
<v Speaker 1>they are fucking shipped up on our idea. Yeah, I'M

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna quote next from the book ufo religions. Adam and Eve,

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.679
<v Speaker 1>a son and daughter of the local system, arrived and

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 1>began the difficult task of attempting to untable the confused

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.960
<v Speaker 1>affairs of a planet retarded by rebellion and resting under

0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.439
<v Speaker 1>the ban of spiritual isolation. According to the RANTIA papers,

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Adam and Eve were too impatient with the mission and

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.840
<v Speaker 1>wanted immediate results, but the results thus secured proved most

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 1>disastrous both to themselves and to their world. That is,

0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.160
<v Speaker 1>they failed to adhere to the mission God set out

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.159
<v Speaker 1>for them. Now, all that's a little confusing, and parsing

0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:04.840
<v Speaker 1>language from the book of Rantia into regular people talk

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 1>can be a little difficult, so I'm going to read

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.520
<v Speaker 1>a summary from a write up in inverse to clarify

0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>what is supposed to have happened. Adam and Eve messed up. So,

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 1>having failed to achieve race harmonization by the edamic technique,

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 1>part two, the local universe section of the book tells us,

0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 1>you must now work out your planetary problem of race

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:28.560
<v Speaker 1>improvement by other and largely human methods of adaptation and control.

0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.200
<v Speaker 1>In case there is any confusion as to what that means,

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.640
<v Speaker 1>paper fifty one of the Rantia book says the inferior

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and unfit are largely eliminated. It seems that you ought

0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.399
<v Speaker 1>to be able to agree upon the biologic disfellowshipping of

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 1>your more markedly unfit, defective, degenerate and anti social stocks.

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.119
<v Speaker 1>Weird because, like the Q and on, and like the

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.160
<v Speaker 1>modern people that are like new age anti Semitic, they're

0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:55.680
<v Speaker 1>afraid of this. They're not, generally speaking, they're not. I mean,

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but from what I've seen of it,

0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 1>they're not for this behavior. They're like trying to wake

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.200
<v Speaker 1>up the people to the fact that this is what

0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:06.199
<v Speaker 1>the conspiracy is behind the scenes, the deep state or

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.359
<v Speaker 1>whatever is actually doing. They are, although you might also

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 1>note that at kind of the same time they're, UM,

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>they're really paranoid about uh orright like. It might also

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.760
<v Speaker 1>be worth noting that, like, at the same time they

0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:24.080
<v Speaker 1>are talking about like a purging of certain types of

0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.720
<v Speaker 1>people from the planet, right like. That's always a major factor.

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:32.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Um, interesting stuff, but yeah, that's that's UH.

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.160
<v Speaker 1>And it's also kind of worth noting that the term disfellowshipping,

0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 1>which is in the Rantia book, that's what it calls

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:42.880
<v Speaker 1>like the elimination of specific races, the biologic disfellowshipping. When

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:45.120
<v Speaker 1>you get kicked out of the seventh day adventist church,

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:48.359
<v Speaker 1>that's called disfellowshipping right. It's a very specific term that

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 1>they use. The fellowship I'm familiar. So it's interesting again

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:56.199
<v Speaker 1>in terms of evidence, that it's Saddler who wrote this.

0:20:56.400 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 1>These aliens write a lot like former seventh adventists. Yeah,

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.960
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's really interesting to see how much of

0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:07.959
<v Speaker 1>like this lore was built in the late eighteen hundreds

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:12.720
<v Speaker 1>to the early nine and the echoes are h still

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.480
<v Speaker 1>impacting us today in like the new age communities and

0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:17.640
<v Speaker 1>stuff like. People are still echoing a lot of these

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:21.159
<v Speaker 1>beliefs as fact and it's like these people this like

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.919
<v Speaker 1>little intricate whatever the word, the phrase was, the incestuous

0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:28.360
<v Speaker 1>family unit or created all of this and then still,

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:33.919
<v Speaker 1>a hundred years later, like it's still echoing throughout as fact. Yeah,

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:37.679
<v Speaker 1>it's awesome and it's also cool that, like again you

0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 1>can see these aliens, which are supposedly like enlightened galactic beings,

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 1>write an awful lot like a former seventh day adventist

0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:50.520
<v Speaker 1>who superindo eugenics. Like, weirdly they seem to be that

0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:53.119
<v Speaker 1>kind of they seem a lot like William Sadler. I

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say they probably just cluded on Sadler because

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.680
<v Speaker 1>they're like, hey, he gets us, yeah, he gets us. Well,

0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.199
<v Speaker 1>that's what so they will later in the book that

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:02.879
<v Speaker 1>comes out of us. Will later claim that, like Sadler's

0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:06.200
<v Speaker 1>whole life was manipulated by these aliens to prepare him

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:09.480
<v Speaker 1>for their revelations. So, like that's why he became and

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 1>then left the seventh day adventist faith and got into eugenics,

0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 1>as they were, they were guiding him to being ready

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>to be like a vessel for this stuff. But you

0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:21.280
<v Speaker 1>know who else is a vessel for eugenics? The products

0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:24.040
<v Speaker 1>and services that support this podcast, Sophie and I are

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 1>entirely sponsored by big eugenics. So I would like to

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>be excluded from this narrative. That's too bad, Sophie. I

0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 1>refuse to disfellowship you. You know, part of me is

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.480
<v Speaker 1>like all. But then you just accused me of eugenics.

0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:45.960
<v Speaker 1>So No, just of being spawnsored, Sophie, of being sponsored

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:52.720
<v Speaker 1>by eugenics. No, I'm good. The thanks so hard. Pass

0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:58.120
<v Speaker 1>on the sponsored by eugenics platform that you're standing on, Sophie.

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Look whom, Stamonga is not sponsored by the concept of Eugenics?

0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:11.800
<v Speaker 1>That's what I had to ask. Well, not anymore. We're

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:17.520
<v Speaker 1>back and we're talking about our sponsors. Big Eugenics, big EUGENICS,

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:22.840
<v Speaker 1>let's give why not? Huh? That's the that's their mode.

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Why not? Huh? It's a good time. Okay, well, that's

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:31.400
<v Speaker 1>one opinion. Anyway. You might have noted from that last

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:34.600
<v Speaker 1>bit that, while most of the revelations we've talked about

0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:36.880
<v Speaker 1>seemed to be like a harmless sci fi cookie shit,

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it kind of sounds like a genocidal

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:43.560
<v Speaker 1>rant about purging the world of like inferior races, like

0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 1>stuff that you could fit into Nazi propaganda pretty easily.

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.400
<v Speaker 1>And again, this is because it's all written by Dr

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 1>William Sadler. Part of why we know this is that, Duh.

0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Part of why we know this is that people who

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:56.680
<v Speaker 1>have analyzed the book since after its publication note that

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 1>large segments of it are plagiarized almost word for word

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:07.160
<v Speaker 1>from other books, including his books about eugenics. Very big brain. Yeah, well,

0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:09.399
<v Speaker 1>he didn't assume anyone would ever have like find and

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:15.800
<v Speaker 1>replace in a in a Um. So yeah, it's cool.

0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 1>The whole thing is basically a mix of his like

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 1>adventist beliefs, his eugenicist beliefs in like pop psychology of

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the day, sandwiched between like weird pseudo Christian and like

0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:30.480
<v Speaker 1>alien stuff. I'M gonna quote from inverse again. Starting around

0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:36.280
<v Speaker 1>five thousand years ago, six colored races appeared on Orantia red, orange, yellow, green,

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:40.679
<v Speaker 1>blue and indigo. The earlier races are somewhat superior to

0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the later, again because they're close to Adam and eve.

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 1>The Red Man stands far ablow above the indigo or

0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 1>black race, says paper fifty one of the Orantia book,

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and each succeeding evolutionary manifestation of a distinct group of

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 1>mortals represents variation at the expense of the original endowment. Furthermore,

0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the Yellow Ray usually enslaves the green while the blue man,

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 1>which corresponds to Caucasians, subdues the indigo or black. So

0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:11.320
<v Speaker 1>the ORANTIA book does not limit its racism to oblique references,

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:14.960
<v Speaker 1>uh quote. In fact, pertext, evil in the form of

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 1>illness and disease exists because unfit people's like Australian natives

0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and the Bushman and pygmies of Africa. These miserable remnants

0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 1>of the Non Social Peoples of ancient times haven't been eliminated.

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Eugenics is the way to correct this error. So that's

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the RANTIA book saying that, like, basically indigenous people and

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Africans need to be eliminated. They were supposed to be

0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 1>eliminated by Satan and Lucifer, but in their rebellions, Satan

0:25:40.320 --> 0:25:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and Lucifer and Adam and Eve didn't didn't do this.

0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:46.520
<v Speaker 1>So we have, so we have to now, right. That's

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:50.240
<v Speaker 1>what Eugenics is necessary because earth isn't following interstellar law.

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 1>But maybe it shouldn't, like I'm sitting here thinking about it,

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:56.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe Satan and Lucifer are right. Like the indigenous people

0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:00.440
<v Speaker 1>of like Australia and Africa and wherever else, we're living

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 1>in harmony with nature and as soon as it's like colonized,

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:08.160
<v Speaker 1>we start overproducing things and, you know, destroying the land

0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:10.640
<v Speaker 1>and everything. So it sounds like these aliens are probably

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 1>a pretty bad influence on on earth. It's yeah, it

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:16.560
<v Speaker 1>sounds like Satan and Lucifer may have may have had

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:22.679
<v Speaker 1>things right. Anti colonial kings, say the devil and his

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>friend Satan Um, which is cool. I do also like

0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:30.760
<v Speaker 1>that in this cosmology, Jesus, who also exists and as

0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:33.760
<v Speaker 1>a son of God is a brother of Lucifer, which

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 1>is fun. And then like Satan's just like a guy

0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:41.439
<v Speaker 1>that Lucifer works with, Um, but yeah, Satan and Lucifer again,

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:45.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty pretty based. Um. So the book goes on to

0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:49.720
<v Speaker 1>note biologic renovation of the racial stocks, the selective elimination

0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:54.439
<v Speaker 1>of inferior human strains, will tend to eradicate many mortal inequalities.

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:58.280
<v Speaker 1>So basically all of our social inequality is caused by

0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we haven't genocide it enough people. Good.

0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:04.600
<v Speaker 1>That's uh, all right, we gotta honestly, it's a strong

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:07.159
<v Speaker 1>backing for a crazy sci fi novel where the main

0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:09.679
<v Speaker 1>character is trying to overthrow all of this ship. It

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:11.760
<v Speaker 1>would be right. You can actually make a pretty cool

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 1>story about this where you find out that, like, there's

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 1>this giant intergalactic government, but they're all basically Nazis and

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the devil's Real, but he's a good guy who didn't

0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:26.160
<v Speaker 1>want to wipe out like. Um. Yeah, anyway, it's it's

0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:28.880
<v Speaker 1>it's cool stuff. Um. Now I should also note here

0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:32.680
<v Speaker 1>that Jesus is just a huge part of the RANTIA book.

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.480
<v Speaker 1>There's a whole chunk of it called the Jesus papers.

0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Now Jesus is a son of God, right, but he's

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:40.879
<v Speaker 1>not the son of God because, again, God, and this

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 1>is like he's like Elon Musk's dad, right, he's just

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:48.280
<v Speaker 1>like fucking ship kids out everywhere. Yeah, he is. He

0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:53.280
<v Speaker 1>is spewing children over the multiverse. To be specific, Jesus

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:56.280
<v Speaker 1>is one of seven hundred thousand Creator sons that got

0:27:56.320 --> 0:27:59.920
<v Speaker 1>ejaculated out into the universe. So, like, he's not very special.

0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:06.160
<v Speaker 1>At no seven kids, you wouldn't even remember their birthdays. Um,

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 1>you have thousands of kids die and it wouldn't mean

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:10.800
<v Speaker 1>ship to you. So, as best as I can tell,

0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Jesus in this book is a wise alien who came

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 1>to Earth to correct the errors that Satan and Lucifer introduced,

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 1>those errors being don't genocide indigenous people and black people.

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:27.080
<v Speaker 1>So Jesus is kind of a Nazi in this Um

0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:29.879
<v Speaker 1>and he also has a pretty different backstory. And to

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:32.040
<v Speaker 1>give that backstory I'm going to quote again from the

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Book God talk by our Buddy the gooch. Quote the

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 1>final section containing the Jesus papers, the most accessible part

0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:41.200
<v Speaker 1>of the book, gives a day by day account of

0:28:41.240 --> 0:28:44.600
<v Speaker 1>all incidents left out of the New Testament concerning Jesus Christ.

0:28:44.960 --> 0:28:47.480
<v Speaker 1>We learned that when Jesus was fourteen, his father died

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:50.480
<v Speaker 1>from a Derek collapsing on him, that Jesus visited a

0:28:50.600 --> 0:28:54.200
<v Speaker 1>university in Athens where he thoroughly discussed the teachings of Plato,

0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that he toured must much of the Roman world with

0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:59.560
<v Speaker 1>two natives of India, go not and Gann it, that

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 1>his in the tomb was speeded forward to complete disintegration,

0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 1>while he appeared again and what was actually a reconstituted

0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:10.200
<v Speaker 1>spiritual body. Along the way, a few the Christian theological,

0:29:10.240 --> 0:29:13.920
<v Speaker 1>a few Keith Christian theological doctrines are handily abandoned. The

0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:18.160
<v Speaker 1>fall of man, the Virgin Birth, atonement, bodily resurrection. One

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:20.960
<v Speaker 1>problem in understanding the book comes with its Dizzying Roll

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Call of other worldly officials go between functionaries, angels, near

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:29.600
<v Speaker 1>dear near Deities, spirits, bodies, planets, galaxies, stars, transport vehicles

0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and communication devices, somehow linking together the various worlds separated

0:29:33.560 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 1>by time, space and moral distance, and an updated version

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 1>of the medieval chain of being to complicate matters, this

0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:42.920
<v Speaker 1>cast of characters and locals are often given neologisms for

0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:45.640
<v Speaker 1>their names and titles. The terms derived from a strange

0:29:45.640 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 1>etymology that results in a kind of Indo European news speak,

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Calaghastia Orantia Nebadn Oravontan Morontia, each of the papers as

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:58.720
<v Speaker 1>its own presenter, identified by such theatrical names as brilliant

0:29:58.760 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 1>evening star, my any messenger, vorondetic son or Malavata Melich's neck.

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:08.440
<v Speaker 1>The effect is of an exotic linguistic tissue laid over

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:10.480
<v Speaker 1>a nuts and bolts grit, and it's all like it's

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of unreadable. You have to kind of read translations

0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:16.520
<v Speaker 1>of it from other people, because if you're not reading

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:19.880
<v Speaker 1>from page one, like all of these different names and aliens,

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 1>it's just fucking nonsense. That's what we're not doing. A

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:23.960
<v Speaker 1>ton of different quotes from it, but this is a

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:31.040
<v Speaker 1>very poorly applied creative writing talent. Yes, this is somebody

0:30:31.120 --> 0:30:34.920
<v Speaker 1>who should have been like l Ron Hubbard, submitting short

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:39.360
<v Speaker 1>stories to Shitty SCI FI magazine, but instead, for and

0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:42.240
<v Speaker 1>this is going on for like twenty something years, they're

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:45.080
<v Speaker 1>they're submitting. You've got this forum and you've got this

0:30:45.120 --> 0:30:49.000
<v Speaker 1>commission who are like submitting questions to the mighty Melich's

0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:53.560
<v Speaker 1>neck or whatever. Then Melches Melcheseck or something, all these

0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:57.120
<v Speaker 1>fucking ridiculous space aliens who are like coming back with

0:30:57.200 --> 0:31:01.600
<v Speaker 1>answers and they're gradually building this collection of papers. And Yeah,

0:31:02.680 --> 0:31:06.280
<v Speaker 1>if what saddler and his followers say happened can be trusted,

0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:09.400
<v Speaker 1>which it can't, what's going on is that they're sleeping

0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:11.720
<v Speaker 1>source of right ship. The council will come back with

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:14.920
<v Speaker 1>more questions, Um, and these will get like and it's

0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 1>never exactly clear how the answers get written out or

0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 1>how the questions get delivered to the aliens. They're very

0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 1>coy about the process. Um. But in nineteen twenty three

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the saddlers and the Kellogg's establish a forum, uh, to

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 1>discuss the papers and propose better questions. I'M gonna quote

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:35.880
<v Speaker 1>from the Book Ufo Religions again here. In late nineteen five,

0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:38.360
<v Speaker 1>the form became a closed group, with members signing a

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:41.560
<v Speaker 1>pledge of secrecy. The pledge read as follows. We acknowledge

0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 1>our pledge of secrecy, renewing our promise not to discuss

0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:47.960
<v Speaker 1>the rantia revelations or their subject matter with anyone save

0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:50.520
<v Speaker 1>active forum members and to take no notes of such

0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 1>matter as is read or discussed at the public sessions

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:55.560
<v Speaker 1>or make copies or notes of what we personally read.

0:31:56.040 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 1>The forum held its last meeting in nineteen forty two.

0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:02.120
<v Speaker 1>The ORANTIA book was published in Nineteen Five, and shortly

0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:04.880
<v Speaker 1>after the publication of the RANTIA book, a final message

0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 1>from the MIDWARS was received by the contact commission. You

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 1>are now on your own. After nearly fifty years, the

0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 1>connection between the mortals of our planet and the Unseen

0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Midway Commission was severed and went dead. So that's that's

0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the story of how the papers get transmitted right. It's

0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:24.000
<v Speaker 1>all that. It's all taking place throughout his lifetime and

0:32:24.120 --> 0:32:27.480
<v Speaker 1>it's wrapping up when he's reaching older age. He's getting old,

0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:30.920
<v Speaker 1>is when it wraps up. Yeah, uh, and yeah, the

0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 1>forum eventually has, like there's about four hundred people involved

0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:38.320
<v Speaker 1>in this overall thing, while the contact commissions against five

0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 1>or six people and they're all saddlers and Kellogg's Um.

0:32:42.760 --> 0:32:45.320
<v Speaker 1>For years, the forum members were the only people who

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:47.320
<v Speaker 1>are allowed to read the papers. They had like a

0:32:47.440 --> 0:32:51.840
<v Speaker 1>library that was operated by one of Kellogg's sons, who

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:53.880
<v Speaker 1>is also the guy that people believe is the person

0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:57.520
<v Speaker 1>being channeled Um, and people could like check out papers,

0:32:57.560 --> 0:32:59.520
<v Speaker 1>but they couldn't take them away from the premises. So

0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 1>that's the the way people are reading this for like

0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:05.760
<v Speaker 1>thirty years, twenty or thirty years. Uh. William's wife, Lena

0:33:05.960 --> 0:33:08.080
<v Speaker 1>was adamant that the papers had to be published, though.

0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:09.840
<v Speaker 1>So she's a big advocate of like we have to

0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:11.720
<v Speaker 1>put these together in a book and distribute them to

0:33:11.800 --> 0:33:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the masses. So she starts collecting money to fund to

0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:17.560
<v Speaker 1>printing and has raised twenty dollars when she dies in

0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:21.400
<v Speaker 1>nineteen thirty nine. When Lena falls out of the picture,

0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the forum falls to in fighting. It seems like she

0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:26.560
<v Speaker 1>was kind of the primary thing keeping this organized, and

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 1>after that they start to be big personality conflicts. The

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:33.920
<v Speaker 1>chief instigator is an author named Harold Sherman. He's a

0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:36.640
<v Speaker 1>sci Fi writer whose nineteen seventy six book the green

0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:39.160
<v Speaker 1>man is the origin for the phrase little green men

0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 1>from Mars. It's that guy. So he kind of goes

0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 1>to war with Dr Sadler over control of the papers

0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:48.800
<v Speaker 1>and in ninety two he alleges that Sadler has been

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:54.080
<v Speaker 1>tampering with the original transcripts by the midwys and altering things. Um,

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:57.880
<v Speaker 1>getting called out. Let's go. Yeah, yeah, it's like a weird,

0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 1>weird little, weird little fire within the cult, and I'm

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:03.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna quote again from God talk. Sherman then exchanged a

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:07.400
<v Speaker 1>series of disgruntled letters with another disillusioned former associate of

0:34:07.520 --> 0:34:11.960
<v Speaker 1>saddler's um former associate of Saddlers, Harry Jacob Luce, a

0:34:12.040 --> 0:34:15.279
<v Speaker 1>Chicago police officer and self proclaimed psychic, who felt that

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:18.360
<v Speaker 1>something snapped in Dr Sadler at his wife's death. He

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:21.840
<v Speaker 1>characterized Sadler is a power mad SVENGALI. The truth is

0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:24.920
<v Speaker 1>that Sadler is mentally unsound, loose, wrote to Sherman, a

0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Paranoiac with a Religio power complex, feverishly grasping for greater

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 1>jurisdiction over the mentalities of the many Oh that Dr

0:34:32.760 --> 0:34:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Lena had lived. How different developments would have been today?

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Sadler has the usual evidence of long tat latent and

0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:42.719
<v Speaker 1>those of later years aroused mental sadism, which is just

0:34:42.880 --> 0:34:46.320
<v Speaker 1>as definite and fully recognized a condition as physical sadism.

0:34:46.640 --> 0:34:49.200
<v Speaker 1>So that's what people who are in this forum claim,

0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 1>right and again. None of these papers are out for

0:34:52.239 --> 0:34:54.040
<v Speaker 1>other people. Yet this is purely just like a fight

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:58.880
<v Speaker 1>between these weirdos. The girls are fighting. Oh, no, whatever,

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:02.000
<v Speaker 1>is the truth of this? Like conflict within the forum

0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:05.640
<v Speaker 1>saddler winds and after twelve years of editing, from like

0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:09.880
<v Speaker 1>nineteen forty two, which is the last transmission, to nineteen

0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 1>fifty five, they're just editing the papers together. He manages

0:35:13.239 --> 0:35:15.880
<v Speaker 1>to raise the last eighty thousand dollars needed to print

0:35:15.960 --> 0:35:19.080
<v Speaker 1>a first edition of the ORANTIA book on October Twelfth

0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Nineteen Fifty Five. It is published by the R R

0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Donnelly and sons company in Indianapolis. An organization, the Rantia Foundation,

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:30.359
<v Speaker 1>had been established to distribute the book. That mailed off

0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:33.920
<v Speaker 1>copies to cultural leaders they thought might be sympathetic. Edward

0:35:34.040 --> 0:35:37.920
<v Speaker 1>R Murrow, Aldous Huxley and Eleanor Roosevelt All received copies.

0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Nobody read it. Um like interesting, don't worry none. Look,

0:35:43.800 --> 0:35:46.640
<v Speaker 1>you get a two thousand page book called the Rantia

0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Book About Space, aliens and the mail. I mean, I

0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:51.800
<v Speaker 1>actually would read that. I know it's like, is it

0:35:51.880 --> 0:35:53.360
<v Speaker 1>bad that I kind of want to copy? I'm just

0:35:53.480 --> 0:35:56.960
<v Speaker 1>morbidly curious. It is. It is available. Here's one of

0:35:57.040 --> 0:36:00.120
<v Speaker 1>the fun things. It is available for Free Online. The

0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:03.759
<v Speaker 1>RANTIA foundation tried to keep a copyright, but somebody put

0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:06.759
<v Speaker 1>it up digitally back in like the nineties, and then

0:36:06.800 --> 0:36:09.560
<v Speaker 1>there was a lawsuit over it and the people who

0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 1>were putting it up online argued successfully in court that, like, Hey,

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 1>they're claiming this is written by aliens, so they can't

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:18.799
<v Speaker 1>have a copyright for it. Yeah, this is like, Oh

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:24.000
<v Speaker 1>my God, okayright, yeah, this isn't their book. It's written

0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:26.920
<v Speaker 1>by aliens. Why do they have a copy? which is awesome.

0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:31.080
<v Speaker 1>That fucking rules. It's my favorite part of this story that, like,

0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 1>they successfully argue in court. Look, man, if aliens wrote

0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:37.680
<v Speaker 1>this ship, they can't be the ones who hold the copyrights. Um.

0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Dr Sadler actually survived fourteen years after the book's publication.

0:36:42.200 --> 0:36:45.600
<v Speaker 1>This guy lives for fucking ever. Um, he lives long

0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:48.839
<v Speaker 1>enough to see his son and grandson die, to see

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Kellogg's turn into a sugary breakfast cereal that makes people come,

0:36:54.280 --> 0:37:01.480
<v Speaker 1>probably if I understand Dr Kellogg's science properly. Um. And Yeah,

0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:04.560
<v Speaker 1>he ends to see like his publishing career fall apart.

0:37:04.719 --> 0:37:07.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, people stop accepting his books. Um, but he

0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:10.160
<v Speaker 1>seems to be good at the end. His last words

0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 1>are the world is very this world is very real,

0:37:12.800 --> 0:37:15.000
<v Speaker 1>but the next one is much more real which is

0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:17.399
<v Speaker 1>in line with the philosophy outline in the RANTIA book,

0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 1>which we're not going to get into in detail because

0:37:20.120 --> 0:37:23.560
<v Speaker 1>it's silly. What matters is that Dr Sadler dies right

0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:25.800
<v Speaker 1>on the cusp of the age that was turned his

0:37:25.920 --> 0:37:29.359
<v Speaker 1>book into an underground hit, and we're going to talk

0:37:29.400 --> 0:37:31.120
<v Speaker 1>about that next. But you know what else is an

0:37:31.160 --> 0:37:34.560
<v Speaker 1>underground hit? Tie? What else is an underground hit? The

0:37:34.680 --> 0:37:39.120
<v Speaker 1>products and services that support this podcast. They're underground because

0:37:39.160 --> 0:37:42.080
<v Speaker 1>they're all illegal. You know, every one of our products

0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:46.279
<v Speaker 1>is smuggled into your town and or city by Burt

0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Reynolds in a trans am, just just inches ahead of

0:37:50.280 --> 0:37:59.759
<v Speaker 1>the evil sheriff Buford t justice. Oh we're back. So

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:03.879
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixty nine, the year Dr Sadler dies, is also

0:38:04.000 --> 0:38:08.960
<v Speaker 1>obviously nineteen sixty nine, right. It's like the year that, like,

0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:14.359
<v Speaker 1>the fucking New Age movement explodes. Hippies are all over

0:38:14.400 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the place, there's all these seekers interested Manson time, Charles

0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Manson time, woodstock is huge explosion and interest in like Yoga, spiritualism,

0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:29.360
<v Speaker 1>alternative religion, Buddhism, all of this stuff bursts in nineteen

0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:33.520
<v Speaker 1>sixty nine Um. And Yeah, the fact that the RANTIA book,

0:38:33.680 --> 0:38:36.920
<v Speaker 1>which is filled with aliens but also like Jesus, is

0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:39.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of like perfectly suited because again, the new age

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:41.880
<v Speaker 1>types here, they're not willing to go that far out

0:38:41.920 --> 0:38:43.520
<v Speaker 1>of the box as they've been raised in. So if

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you're both talking about like aliens and eastern religion, but

0:38:46.680 --> 0:38:49.720
<v Speaker 1>also you're throwing Jesus in there, that's going to appeal

0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:52.640
<v Speaker 1>to an awful lot of hippies. Right. The same year

0:38:52.760 --> 0:38:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Dr Sadler dies, a young man named Mo Seagel is

0:38:56.520 --> 0:39:00.279
<v Speaker 1>living in Boulder, Colorado and serving Asian herbal tea to

0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:03.520
<v Speaker 1>customers and a small shop that he had started. His

0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:07.080
<v Speaker 1>business was completely novel to Americans and to Westerners in general.

0:39:07.520 --> 0:39:09.960
<v Speaker 1>All mass market tea in the United States and Great

0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Britain at this point was made from the actual tea plant,

0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Camillius Senesis, and thus packaged packed a heavy wallop of caffeine. Right,

0:39:18.640 --> 0:39:21.120
<v Speaker 1>tea is actually tea. At that point, herbal tea is

0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:23.680
<v Speaker 1>not tea and that it does not contain the tea plant. Right,

0:39:23.760 --> 0:39:26.920
<v Speaker 1>it's made up of basically any other plant. Right. But

0:39:27.520 --> 0:39:30.400
<v Speaker 1>you can't buy herbal tea at that point. Obviously, indigenous

0:39:30.400 --> 0:39:33.280
<v Speaker 1>people had a number of different herbal teas. The concept

0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:35.719
<v Speaker 1>has existed, but nobody sells it. You can't go to

0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:39.040
<v Speaker 1>a store and purchase an herbal tea. In nineteen sixty nine,

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 1>most seagel is the first guy who starts this as

0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:46.480
<v Speaker 1>a business. Um So, herbal ty obviously is an ancient concept,

0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:48.879
<v Speaker 1>but from a capitalist point of view it's entirely new.

0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:52.160
<v Speaker 1>The same year that most starts his business, he happens

0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:54.640
<v Speaker 1>across a copy of the arountia book in a shop

0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:57.640
<v Speaker 1>near his house. He later wrote quote I thought it

0:39:57.760 --> 0:40:00.040
<v Speaker 1>was just the goofiest thing I'd ever read. At to

0:40:00.280 --> 0:40:02.120
<v Speaker 1>read it, I was not concerned about who had written

0:40:02.160 --> 0:40:03.800
<v Speaker 1>it or how it had been written because it was

0:40:03.880 --> 0:40:07.719
<v Speaker 1>so powerful. So he like starts reading this is just

0:40:07.840 --> 0:40:10.080
<v Speaker 1>like wow, look at this fucking ridiculous thing, and then

0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:13.839
<v Speaker 1>becomes deeply pilled, I guess you say, hopefully coersive reading

0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:16.920
<v Speaker 1>into it. Um So, he's just kind of been selling

0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:19.440
<v Speaker 1>a handful of teas at a tiny shop, but he

0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:22.160
<v Speaker 1>he after reading this book, gets convinced that he needs

0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to do something bigger. So he takes a group of

0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:27.160
<v Speaker 1>his friends, who are all big fans of the RANTIA book,

0:40:27.160 --> 0:40:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and they start hiking in the rockies and picking dozens

0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of pounds of herbal tea at a time and mixing

0:40:31.960 --> 0:40:35.360
<v Speaker 1>them together into hands owned bags and selling them, initially

0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:39.280
<v Speaker 1>at local stores and then all across Colorado. The business

0:40:39.400 --> 0:40:42.720
<v Speaker 1>takes off very quickly, and MOE claims that his desire

0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:45.279
<v Speaker 1>to expand a nationwide is fueled by his interest in

0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the RANTIA book. Quote. After studying the teachings in the

0:40:48.680 --> 0:40:51.080
<v Speaker 1>ORANTIA book, I knew that I would feel selfish and

0:40:51.200 --> 0:40:54.279
<v Speaker 1>wasteful to simply focus on material success. So, as a

0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:56.200
<v Speaker 1>young man, when I began thinking about what I could

0:40:56.239 --> 0:40:58.600
<v Speaker 1>do to make a living, I have innch, I immediately

0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:01.880
<v Speaker 1>turned to the health food industry. So that's what leads

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:04.759
<v Speaker 1>Mo and his fellow flower children to turn their tea

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:08.239
<v Speaker 1>company into a real business. In honor of the celestial

0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:10.680
<v Speaker 1>beings who had dictated the book they held so dear,

0:41:11.000 --> 0:41:15.000
<v Speaker 1>they named it celestial seasonings. Now you'll hear a couple

0:41:15.040 --> 0:41:17.520
<v Speaker 1>of different claims. They also say it's the name of

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:19.800
<v Speaker 1>like based on the flower name of one of the

0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:23.200
<v Speaker 1>people who founded it, but there's debate about this. Uh.

0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:26.120
<v Speaker 1>In short order, though, their sleepy time tea has become

0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:29.280
<v Speaker 1>the number one best selling tea in the United States

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and is today the number one best selling specialty t

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:36.719
<v Speaker 1>of all time worldwide. Um each bag includes an inspirational

0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:39.800
<v Speaker 1>message written on the tag, which initially were direct quotes

0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:43.360
<v Speaker 1>from the Rante a book. For whatever reason, they tended

0:41:43.360 --> 0:41:49.239
<v Speaker 1>to avoid the verses about eugenics and racial inferior at

0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Crescent Celestial seasonings is the number one team manufacturer in

0:41:53.280 --> 0:41:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the United States. Its products makes more than a hundred

0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:59.520
<v Speaker 1>million dollars a year. Mo continued to lead the company

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:02.880
<v Speaker 1>from nineteen sixty nine up through a merger with craft,

0:42:02.960 --> 0:42:05.800
<v Speaker 1>a corporate buy back and its eventual acquisition by the

0:42:05.920 --> 0:42:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Haines celestial group. Along the way, Mo never forgot his roots,

0:42:10.600 --> 0:42:14.839
<v Speaker 1>by which I mean doctor saddlers space genocide book, from

0:42:14.880 --> 0:42:17.600
<v Speaker 1>a write up seagull made on the Rantia Book Fellowship

0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:20.600
<v Speaker 1>website quote, and this is the founder of celestial seasonings.

0:42:21.440 --> 0:42:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Illness and disease results from evil and cause suffering. Unfortunately,

0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:28.040
<v Speaker 1>several factors hinder progress towards the development of the disease

0:42:28.080 --> 0:42:30.960
<v Speaker 1>free world. The Laws of genetics are immutable and form

0:42:31.000 --> 0:42:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the physical cornerstone of evolution. At the present time, mankind

0:42:34.760 --> 0:42:37.920
<v Speaker 1>loses about as much progress as it makes by ignoring eugenics,

0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:41.600
<v Speaker 1>implying that we need to do eugenics. Yeah, yeah, we've

0:42:41.600 --> 0:42:43.560
<v Speaker 1>gotta be doing more eugenic because we can't get rid

0:42:43.560 --> 0:42:46.600
<v Speaker 1>of disease. The goal of the human race is to

0:42:46.640 --> 0:42:49.000
<v Speaker 1>get rid of disease, which is why am is a

0:42:49.080 --> 0:42:53.120
<v Speaker 1>big advocate of natural foods. Right. Natural Foods are healthier,

0:42:53.440 --> 0:42:56.360
<v Speaker 1>they keep you from getting disease, but we can't eliminate

0:42:56.440 --> 0:42:59.840
<v Speaker 1>disease until we eliminate certain kinds of people. That's in

0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:03.000
<v Speaker 1>same yeah, we have to stop people who are differently

0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:05.040
<v Speaker 1>able or whatever from breeding and we have to stop

0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:08.959
<v Speaker 1>certain races from breeding in order to stop disease. That's

0:43:09.080 --> 0:43:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the founder of sleepy time tea and that's like the

0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:14.439
<v Speaker 1>problem with people that are like dipping their toes into

0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the new age movement right now is they'll immediately be

0:43:16.719 --> 0:43:19.400
<v Speaker 1>introduced to some of these concepts that, on the surface,

0:43:19.800 --> 0:43:22.920
<v Speaker 1>don't seem like they're founded in Eugenics and ship like that.

0:43:23.000 --> 0:43:25.960
<v Speaker 1>But once you just start like peeling the layer back,

0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:28.560
<v Speaker 1>it's right there and it's unavoidable and then you're like

0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:33.880
<v Speaker 1>what do I do? Like, yeah, it's it's very funny. Um,

0:43:34.400 --> 0:43:38.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not funny. You can't say if you're if you

0:43:38.320 --> 0:43:41.439
<v Speaker 1>go to bed sipping a sleepy time tea, you can think.

0:43:41.600 --> 0:43:43.960
<v Speaker 1>You know if you're if you use a wheelchair, if

0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:46.800
<v Speaker 1>your vision isn't perfect, if you're not a white nordic,

0:43:46.880 --> 0:43:50.080
<v Speaker 1>for example, if you're one of the dreaded Alpine race.

0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:55.960
<v Speaker 1>The guy you sit before bed doesn't want your round

0:43:56.080 --> 0:44:00.880
<v Speaker 1>head to be breeding. Um. So that's cool. Probably wouldn't

0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:03.400
<v Speaker 1>have guessed that when you woke up this morning you

0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:06.600
<v Speaker 1>would apparently heard this die. I. So I do. Um,

0:44:06.840 --> 0:44:10.239
<v Speaker 1>I do like a podcast called Celestial cafe actually, but

0:44:10.280 --> 0:44:12.640
<v Speaker 1>it's with a couple of my we deep dive into

0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:16.279
<v Speaker 1>like witchy, you know, Tarot, like Ac cult stuff and uh,

0:44:16.920 --> 0:44:20.120
<v Speaker 1>we we start every episode talking about what drinks were drinking.

0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:22.719
<v Speaker 1>So we all frequently are drinking teas and things like that,

0:44:22.880 --> 0:44:26.200
<v Speaker 1>and celestial seasonings has been a topic of conversation amongst

0:44:26.239 --> 0:44:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the four of us because it's literally one step back

0:44:29.640 --> 0:44:32.279
<v Speaker 1>into the direction of that appealing back the layer and

0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:35.880
<v Speaker 1>we're like hold up, now we have a second and

0:44:35.960 --> 0:44:37.560
<v Speaker 1>that's why all of the teas on my shelf, I

0:44:37.600 --> 0:44:42.600
<v Speaker 1>stopped buying celestial seasonings after that. Well good, Um, it

0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:47.400
<v Speaker 1>is tasty, but yeah, it's you might be willing to,

0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:49.840
<v Speaker 1>you might be able to keep buying it after this.

0:44:50.000 --> 0:44:51.600
<v Speaker 1>So we'll talk about that a little at the end.

0:44:51.640 --> 0:44:54.880
<v Speaker 1>So I will say too. I guess his credit, Mo

0:44:55.160 --> 0:44:58.160
<v Speaker 1>never tried to hide the importance of the ARANTIA book

0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:00.799
<v Speaker 1>to sleepy time tea or it's an fluence in his life.

0:45:01.040 --> 0:45:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Nor did he try to hide the fact that he

0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:05.480
<v Speaker 1>was a eugenicist like he's. He's not coy about this,

0:45:05.640 --> 0:45:09.960
<v Speaker 1>he's not ashamed, he's proud. Nobody really notices until which

0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:12.480
<v Speaker 1>is really weird. But that's not on Mo. He's very

0:45:12.600 --> 0:45:17.000
<v Speaker 1>open about this. He authors several texts explaining the RANTIA

0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:20.120
<v Speaker 1>book and boiling down its teachings, and he repeatedly credits

0:45:20.160 --> 0:45:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the book with providing the moral companies the compass that

0:45:22.640 --> 0:45:25.560
<v Speaker 1>he and his co workers started their company on. Quote.

0:45:25.760 --> 0:45:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I had wanted bold, I found bold. I wanted spiritual

0:45:28.840 --> 0:45:30.719
<v Speaker 1>adventure and I was on the right of my life.

0:45:31.000 --> 0:45:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I was searching for Truth and the book was loaded

0:45:33.280 --> 0:45:35.520
<v Speaker 1>with it. And there's no doubt that one of the

0:45:35.560 --> 0:45:39.160
<v Speaker 1>truth's animating celestial seasonings and most Seagel was the need

0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:42.080
<v Speaker 1>to purge a large amount of the human population through

0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:45.000
<v Speaker 1>controlled breeding. And I'M gonna quote now from a write

0:45:45.040 --> 0:45:47.319
<v Speaker 1>up by Megan Giller, and Megan Giller is the reason

0:45:47.400 --> 0:45:50.520
<v Speaker 1>why people know this story. She writes an article for

0:45:50.600 --> 0:45:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a now defunct website in two thousand fifteen, which is

0:45:54.040 --> 0:45:57.200
<v Speaker 1>then republished more recently by inverse. It's Megan Giller who

0:45:57.280 --> 0:46:00.319
<v Speaker 1>actually again, this was all out there for people to find.

0:46:00.480 --> 0:46:02.399
<v Speaker 1>Megan is the first person and she's like a food

0:46:02.520 --> 0:46:06.440
<v Speaker 1>journalist who like realizes, like why isn't anyone talking about this?

0:46:06.680 --> 0:46:09.440
<v Speaker 1>This is nuts, what the fuck um? So credit to

0:46:09.560 --> 0:46:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Megan broke this UM quote. The fellowship is putting its

0:46:14.760 --> 0:46:17.240
<v Speaker 1>money where its mouth is too. In a two thousand

0:46:17.280 --> 0:46:20.720
<v Speaker 1>ten email sent to readers with advanced information and forward

0:46:20.760 --> 0:46:23.239
<v Speaker 1>looking perspectives that are not suited for being posted on

0:46:23.280 --> 0:46:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the website, a follower named Martin Greenhood writes that the

0:46:26.200 --> 0:46:29.719
<v Speaker 1>trustees have continuvened a panel on eugenics. He names all

0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:31.759
<v Speaker 1>of the panel members, the most striking of which is

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Kerman Anderson, who at the time was the genetic screening

0:46:35.200 --> 0:46:39.120
<v Speaker 1>program director at Kaiser Permanente in California and the author

0:46:39.160 --> 0:46:42.920
<v Speaker 1>of much genetics research. So again, members of the Rantia Foundation,

0:46:43.400 --> 0:46:45.920
<v Speaker 1>like people who are inspired by this book about Alien

0:46:46.000 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Eugenics are like in two thousand and ten include people

0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:53.800
<v Speaker 1>who are doing genetic screening at Kaiser Permanente, directing programs,

0:46:53.840 --> 0:46:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and they're like convening fucking panels and God knows, like

0:46:57.280 --> 0:47:00.480
<v Speaker 1>some amount of sleepy time team money is funding because

0:47:00.880 --> 0:47:04.000
<v Speaker 1>most Siegel is the president of the Orantia Foundation for

0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:05.920
<v Speaker 1>a large chunk of the time that he is running

0:47:05.960 --> 0:47:10.040
<v Speaker 1>celestial seasonings. You know, like they are not entirely separate.

0:47:10.560 --> 0:47:14.040
<v Speaker 1>So there is a period at which celestial seasonings is

0:47:14.520 --> 0:47:19.200
<v Speaker 1>to some extent aiding and funding the fucking Rantia Foundation,

0:47:19.800 --> 0:47:23.759
<v Speaker 1>directly or indirectly. That's a little unclear. It's not like

0:47:23.880 --> 0:47:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the company is directly handing money to them, but anyway,

0:47:27.920 --> 0:47:30.279
<v Speaker 1>um or at least we don't know that they were.

0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Now I should note for the purposes of accuracy and

0:47:32.719 --> 0:47:36.120
<v Speaker 1>not getting sued, most Siegel is no longer directly involved

0:47:36.160 --> 0:47:38.279
<v Speaker 1>with celestial seasonings. He's stole on the Board for the

0:47:38.440 --> 0:47:42.200
<v Speaker 1>RANTIA Foundation. He retires from the company in two thousand two.

0:47:43.040 --> 0:47:45.840
<v Speaker 1>His Co founder and fellow Ranti and John Hay Quentin

0:47:45.920 --> 0:47:49.360
<v Speaker 1>nineteen five because he was offended by Siegel's desire to

0:47:49.480 --> 0:47:53.120
<v Speaker 1>become like Coca Cola in the words of one colleague. Um,

0:47:53.719 --> 0:47:56.479
<v Speaker 1>and in two thousand seagulls sells the company to Haines

0:47:56.560 --> 0:47:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Celestial Group, whose name is actually a coincidence. It seems.

0:48:00.239 --> 0:48:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Haine is basically the company that invinced the natural health

0:48:02.600 --> 0:48:06.000
<v Speaker 1>food is a product category, and that's who runs it now. Um,

0:48:06.440 --> 0:48:10.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a couple of shady things about hayine. Broadly speaking,

0:48:10.200 --> 0:48:13.040
<v Speaker 1>they seem to be in a better company than most

0:48:13.360 --> 0:48:17.480
<v Speaker 1>within sort of the food industry. Um, you know, they

0:48:17.800 --> 0:48:20.719
<v Speaker 1>they have a great rating from how good, Um, in

0:48:20.880 --> 0:48:23.759
<v Speaker 1>terms of social and environmental impact. There have been a

0:48:23.840 --> 0:48:27.000
<v Speaker 1>couple of scandals, none of which, you're super related to

0:48:27.440 --> 0:48:30.800
<v Speaker 1>the RANTIA foundation stuff. So it's worth up until like

0:48:30.920 --> 0:48:33.880
<v Speaker 1>two thousand two, you might view kind of celestial seasonings

0:48:33.960 --> 0:48:38.480
<v Speaker 1>is sort of like the eugenics version of Chick Fil A. Now,

0:48:39.520 --> 0:48:45.440
<v Speaker 1>probably not like it's unclear. Obviously I suspect that fucking seagull,

0:48:45.480 --> 0:48:48.120
<v Speaker 1>who's still around, has stock in the in the company,

0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:51.560
<v Speaker 1>and so probably because he's a big funder of the

0:48:51.640 --> 0:48:54.719
<v Speaker 1>fucking foundation, you could argue that some amount of the

0:48:54.800 --> 0:48:58.120
<v Speaker 1>money that celestial seasonings makes could go to the foundation,

0:48:58.719 --> 0:49:02.080
<v Speaker 1>but there's not a direct connection anymore. They're they're pretty

0:49:02.160 --> 0:49:05.200
<v Speaker 1>much corporate and obviously I don't think Haines's celestial group

0:49:05.440 --> 0:49:09.000
<v Speaker 1>is funding the rantia foundation or anything like that. So

0:49:09.480 --> 0:49:13.120
<v Speaker 1>you are probably safe buying sleepy time tea today, but

0:49:13.400 --> 0:49:15.840
<v Speaker 1>this is where it comes from and it's it's again

0:49:15.920 --> 0:49:17.759
<v Speaker 1>like all I all I'm thinking about listening to these

0:49:17.800 --> 0:49:24.360
<v Speaker 1>stories is these companies were able to be so loved,

0:49:24.480 --> 0:49:26.719
<v Speaker 1>I guess, by the people at the time, like back

0:49:26.760 --> 0:49:29.440
<v Speaker 1>in the early nineteen hundreds, mid nineteen hundreds, that they

0:49:29.520 --> 0:49:33.840
<v Speaker 1>are now titans in our food industry, like Kellogg's is

0:49:33.880 --> 0:49:36.520
<v Speaker 1>still a titan here and it could never have grown

0:49:36.640 --> 0:49:39.719
<v Speaker 1>that large if it weren't so widely supported in the

0:49:39.800 --> 0:49:42.000
<v Speaker 1>beginning and when they were a lot more overt with

0:49:42.160 --> 0:49:45.080
<v Speaker 1>their eugenicist beliefs and stuff. That means that it was

0:49:45.080 --> 0:49:48.200
<v Speaker 1>also a reflection of society, like much more deeply at

0:49:48.200 --> 0:49:53.440
<v Speaker 1>the time, and it's just really disheartening. Yeah, it's interesting because, like,

0:49:53.640 --> 0:49:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it got kind often. I think most people

0:49:56.560 --> 0:49:58.880
<v Speaker 1>who would have been aware of this to some extent

0:49:58.920 --> 0:50:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the Ranti book would have just been like, oh, it's

0:50:00.480 --> 0:50:03.040
<v Speaker 1>a weird book about space aliens and then kind of

0:50:03.640 --> 0:50:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that that's that's it. I I think it probably was

0:50:06.960 --> 0:50:10.520
<v Speaker 1>not noticed by most people that like there's genocide ship

0:50:10.680 --> 0:50:14.560
<v Speaker 1>in here. Yeah, Um, and again, I don't I should honestly,

0:50:14.680 --> 0:50:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to be entirely honest, if you are a sleepy time

0:50:17.120 --> 0:50:19.960
<v Speaker 1>tea consumer, I don't believe any of your money is

0:50:20.040 --> 0:50:22.759
<v Speaker 1>going to help this anymore. Nobody really cares about the

0:50:22.920 --> 0:50:25.839
<v Speaker 1>RANTIA book. They are not certainly not doing what chick

0:50:25.920 --> 0:50:28.880
<v Speaker 1>fil a is doing right, like, which is actively contributing

0:50:28.960 --> 0:50:31.680
<v Speaker 1>to direct harm. This is more just like in that

0:50:31.800 --> 0:50:36.680
<v Speaker 1>weird your favorite tea comes from eugenics. Um, Wacky, Huh.

0:50:37.000 --> 0:50:38.880
<v Speaker 1>It does, just make it have a sour taste to me.

0:50:39.000 --> 0:50:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like there's so many other like Indie t

0:50:41.280 --> 0:50:44.200
<v Speaker 1>companies I could be supporting or like smaller. Sure, sure,

0:50:44.320 --> 0:50:47.160
<v Speaker 1>and that's that's perfectly reasonable. I don't want to do

0:50:47.360 --> 0:50:49.920
<v Speaker 1>like people have so many find so many reasons these

0:50:50.000 --> 0:50:51.520
<v Speaker 1>days to be like. Oh, another thing I love is

0:50:51.600 --> 0:50:54.040
<v Speaker 1>like fucked up. Yeah, there's a fund up history here.

0:50:54.360 --> 0:50:57.120
<v Speaker 1>It's fine, right, like, you're not. If you have you

0:50:57.239 --> 0:50:58.799
<v Speaker 1>don't go. You don't have to go throwing out your

0:50:58.840 --> 0:51:00.800
<v Speaker 1>sleepy time tea. If it helps you go to sleep,

0:51:01.200 --> 0:51:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you are it is not aiding at abetting eugenics at

0:51:04.680 --> 0:51:08.000
<v Speaker 1>this point to consume sleepy time teath. I just I

0:51:08.080 --> 0:51:10.239
<v Speaker 1>think it's a fun story right, like it is. It

0:51:10.360 --> 0:51:12.800
<v Speaker 1>is kind of like fucking wild right that this is

0:51:12.920 --> 0:51:14.799
<v Speaker 1>just like. Well, it also makes you wonder how many

0:51:14.840 --> 0:51:18.320
<v Speaker 1>other just things in your cabinet have weird fucking backstories

0:51:18.400 --> 0:51:22.960
<v Speaker 1>that you've never dug into. Yeah, exactly, like that's that's it.

0:51:23.239 --> 0:51:26.320
<v Speaker 1>It's one of those. I read this great article by Megan,

0:51:26.640 --> 0:51:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh Gosh, what's her Megan Giller Um, who again gets

0:51:30.400 --> 0:51:32.719
<v Speaker 1>the credit for breaking the part of the story that

0:51:32.760 --> 0:51:35.920
<v Speaker 1>it's connected to celestial seasonings, and I wanted to do

0:51:36.080 --> 0:51:38.200
<v Speaker 1>that story. But there's not really a lot to say.

0:51:38.520 --> 0:51:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Most SEAGEL definitely sucks. He's like an example of the

0:51:41.960 --> 0:51:43.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of Hippie we don't talk about enough, which is

0:51:43.960 --> 0:51:46.560
<v Speaker 1>like hippies that are super racist and bigoted and like

0:51:46.680 --> 0:51:49.840
<v Speaker 1>believed terrible things about the world, which he does, because

0:51:49.880 --> 0:51:53.759
<v Speaker 1>he writes about eugenics and that's fucked up Um. But

0:51:54.080 --> 0:51:56.240
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day he made like herbal

0:51:56.320 --> 0:52:00.200
<v Speaker 1>tea popular, which is not terrible and I don't think

0:52:00.400 --> 0:52:03.319
<v Speaker 1>I can't really see how like, I don't know, there

0:52:03.360 --> 0:52:05.560
<v Speaker 1>probably is if someone were to do more research, like

0:52:05.640 --> 0:52:09.120
<v Speaker 1>the fact that that fucking Kaiser Permanente, director of genetic research,

0:52:09.640 --> 0:52:12.720
<v Speaker 1>is an Irantean and in part of their eugenetics commission.

0:52:13.120 --> 0:52:17.120
<v Speaker 1>That someone should look into that more. That does deserve investigation.

0:52:17.239 --> 0:52:19.759
<v Speaker 1>Maybe there's a worse story here, but as I looked

0:52:19.800 --> 0:52:22.200
<v Speaker 1>into it I came to be like, Oh, the story

0:52:22.320 --> 0:52:25.640
<v Speaker 1>here is about Dr William Sadler. This like piece of

0:52:25.680 --> 0:52:29.920
<v Speaker 1>ship trend following eugenicist and like it's just it's interesting

0:52:30.000 --> 0:52:33.920
<v Speaker 1>to me how this all came together. Um, so there's

0:52:33.920 --> 0:52:38.200
<v Speaker 1>another piece of like good old fashioned American occult history

0:52:38.400 --> 0:52:43.080
<v Speaker 1>for you. Beautiful, delicious no number. I hope you all

0:52:43.840 --> 0:52:47.800
<v Speaker 1>found it delicious. Slip it on up, suck it down,

0:52:48.960 --> 0:52:54.359
<v Speaker 1>lick a look at good by the Rantea tea bag.

0:52:55.040 --> 0:52:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Get Yeah, as we always say at the end of episodes,

0:52:58.520 --> 0:53:02.800
<v Speaker 1>get tea bag, Sophie. Are we still sponsored by the

0:53:02.880 --> 0:53:06.919
<v Speaker 1>concept of getting tea bagged? We're not. We're not being sponsored. Okay,

0:53:07.040 --> 0:53:09.839
<v Speaker 1>sponsorship that would never die, though. You'd always yeah, you know, big,
