So this book is basically an index of various conspiracy theories. I love a good conspiracy theory, but I think that sometimes we think we see obvious evidence of conspiracy, when there are several other factors weighing in which we’re just not aware of. A good example of this is the pandemic. Some people will look at what has happened since quarantine and say that clearly this was a plan from some evil overlord group which was designed to exert global authoritarian rule. My thought is that there is no way that anyone planned this since so many variables were completely unpredictable. That said, I definitely think that there are some serious behind the scenes shenanigans going on now.

In his intro, Steiger talks about a few things which our US government has done in our past; and these crimes were at the time considered conspiracy theories promoted only by quacks. One of the things which turned out to be true is that throughout the 40s through 60s, the FBI had orders to, quote, “defame, disgrace, and dispose of war protesters, radical political groups, and freedom marchers by any means necessary.” Does this sound familiar to anyone out there.
I don’t know what his resources are for the next two stories, but if they’re true, then the government truly behaves like a psychopath. Steiger claims that in the 50s, the Dept of Defense would just set off nuclear bombs in a remote desert, and then monitor the humans downwind for health issues or death. I’m not sure if anything came of this, but he also claims that in 1966, the US Army dropped bacteria into ventilation grates throughout the NYC subway system. Before you freak out (like I did), this was harmless bacteria. THe purpose of spraying New Yorkers with it was to see what they would do. So people were just walking along, and out of a vent came all this dust all over them. The people just brushed off and continued walking. What the hell did the Army expect!? Who would have had that happen to them and then immediately assume that they’ve just been attacked with biological warfare?
Some people got sick and died because of these harmless bacterial experiments.
And just by way of further introduction, a lot of you have probably heard of Alex Jones. I’ve watched him a few times. He sometimes rants and says a bunch of things that make no sense. But the man has been right A LOT. Joe Rogan, on episode #1639 posted a meme about all the thing that Alex Jones has gotten right:
- TV Spying on you
- Elite cabal of sex traffickers
- They’re turning frogs gay (plastics and pesticides are doing weird shit)
- Bohemian grove
- Silver iodide
- Rich people using baby blood
- Human monkey embryo
- Interdimensional elves
So, to me, there is something to be said for conspiracy theories. I think that the way Alex Jones reports some of them make them seem like they’re something other than what they are, but he’s not just spewing horse paste at people – there’s something to what he’s saying; and with that, I will start to share some of the conspiracies summarized in Steiger’s book.
Alchemy
Now this is a topic which requires way more than just the couple of pages Steiger dedicates in his book. Probably the first thing you think of when you hear Alchemy is the concept of transmuting base metal into gold. But alchemy was likely about much more than this. So back in medieval times, alchemists would call on angels to help with various tasks. They believed that Michael (archangel?) would turn metal into gold, but would also help to get rid of any anger you had coming at you from an enemy. Gabriel turned shit into silver, and told you the future, and then there was a whole group of angels who created gems to help protect the alchemist from negative entities. Sounds like modern gemology to me.
Meanwhile, the clergy believed that the help that alchemists were receiving from these angels was demonic in nature and designed to seduce man into mundane pleasures … so alchemy is more than just turning base metal into gold, it’s also this practice of summoning and working with higher powers or entities. And there’s a question as to whether the outcome is good or evil. Steiger points out the belief that some secret societies have been created by alchemists, such as the Illuminati. The first knee jerk response is to then think that no good comes from alchemy; but then I remind myself that societies or groups of people in general tend to start off good, and then gradually morph into their baser parts.
I’ll research more into alchemy and dedicate an episode or 20 to this topic. I do like stories about Fulcanelli and Saint Germaine (same person?).
Anthroposophy
I think I am an anthroposophist. This belief system was started by a man named Rudolph Steiner. When he was in his late 30s, he had this revelation of Christ showing up and letting him know that sometime in the 20th century, humanity would enter into the “fullness of time.” as nearly as I can tell, this meant that the Christ consciousness would become available to people, so that we could all live our lives like Christ – like perform miracles and shit. STeiner was born in 1861 in what is now Yugoslavia, and he had a significant background in math and science; but I guess his true passion transcended those disciplines – maybe because he claims to have had mystical experiences as a kid. He also says that he trained in the occult with someone he refers to only as the Master.
Steiner also claimed to be able to read the Akashic Records. I’ve heard of these a lot before – many people now claim to be able to tap into these … I think they’re basically like a resource of all knowledge or something. It seems weird to call these the Akashic Records. Anyway, he said he was able to see into our past, and he saw the Atlanteans, and how they apparently interacted with a higher type of being; and these beings only talked to a select few of the Atlanteans – only the “smartest, the strongest, and the most intellectually flexible.” Basically these better people produced demi-gods … so the higher order beings got it on with the human ladies. This story sounds a lot like that of the Nephilim from the Bible, who were thought to have mated with humans, and were deemed by the church to be demons, basically. I think there was some question about whether they were the good guys or the bad guys, so just to play it safe, they were thrown out altogether, and categorized as all bad.
Anyway, Steiner thinks that the descendents of the Nephilim are still roaming around waiting to be activated with the Christ Consciousness so they can, and I quote:
Initiate those members of humankind who have sufficiently developed their faculty of thought to allow them to unite with the divine. People so initiated will be able to receive Revelations and perform what others will consider Miracles, and will go on to become the mediators between humankind and the higher intelligences.
Brad Steiger
So the Theosophists liked this way of thinking, and invited Steiner to join them, and he did; but after a while, he became uncomfortable with the fact that they didn’t really give a shit about the whole “Christ Consciousness,” part of the deal. They wanted to also be allowed to have orgies and hex people, I guess.
Quick aside – there’s a couple sections in the book dedicated to, well, basically the New World Order – there’s a couple other names for this group – but on one page it lists all of their goals for achieving world domination, and I have to say that they must have ticked a number of their goals off the list in 2020 and 2021. So, it goes to show you that even megalomaniacal psychopaths can achieve their dreams.
Bohemian Grove
I can’t tell, by the way he writes this, if this is an established group, and the conspiracy is around what they’re actually up to – or if this group as well as their deeds are made up. But some of the stories he tells about what they do were just too juicy, and in some cases, hilarious, to pass up.
Apparently, this is a 2700 acre property in Sonoma County, CA; and every year, 2500 elite men – only men – meet for 17 days and, supposedly make decisions about international policy that have far reaching effects. Steiger names a bunch of high ranking people – like US presidents, who have been members of this group.
Despite this group being men only, apparently Queen Elizabeth visited in 1983, and they put on this wild ecstatic pagan dance in her honor, “complete with stage props such as Egyptian pyramids and Babylonian artifacts.” OOOOO! Does the subterfuge and intrigue know no limits?!
Ronald Reagan supposedly told friends that it was his membership in this group that led to his presidency; and in 1995, Newt Gingrich, who was the House SPeaker, was told to cooperate with Bill Clinton on building the New World Order. This is one of the reasons I wonder about how credible this idea of a NWO is; i mean, maybe they’re playing a long game, but it seems to be taking forever to get this whole New World Order set up. Chop Chop people. I have things to do, but then not do because I’m procrastinating, and then feel guilty about.
Here’s what might just be my favorite quote from this book so far:
One of the main rituals performed by the Bohemian Grove participant involves their bowing down before a 40-foot statue of an owl. Walter Cronkite, on tape, is said to be the voice of the carved wood owl, the mascot at Bohemian Grove that opens the ceremonies.
Conspiracies and Secret Societies by Brad Steiger
I don’t know for sure, but i think that if Bohemian Grove were made of up women, things would be different.
What I find confusing is that this sounds a lot like another group – called the Bilderberg’s, whom Steiger talks about. And I feel like there have been a couple of these groups – maybe also the Illuminati, who have this vision of dominating the world. So are they all fighting against each other? Maybe thats why its taking them so long.
I kid, but I do think there are powerful forces which control a lot more than we are even remotely aware of. Eric Weinstein actually gives a very compelling account of two major findings which were conspicuously blown off and ignored by the media. I’ve linked to this episode in the shownotes. Weinstein talks about how presidential candidates, like Andrew Yang, get ignored / misrepresented when they start to gain traction in the poles, suggesting some seedy manipulation. He also talks about Jeffrey Epstein, and how he may have been a front man for way more than just a pedophile ring. This is my interpretation of his story, but it’s probably best to get the full story from him. It’s very interesting.
Ooh, before I forget, ironically, on the show Bannon’s War Room (with Steve Bannon), the mRNA physician, Robert Malone, talked about how he and a colleague had submitted papers discussing their success treating patients with various pharmaceutical modalities (none of which rake in money for the pharma companies), and Malone said both case studies were completely dismissed. Why? No one knows.
What’s also interesting is Cattle Mutilation – how’s that for a segue?
This is sort of like the story of crop circles, in that, based on what I hear about it, if you have any doubts about whether this is true, all you have to do is check it out for yourself. So these cows are found with various organs removed, including eyes, anuses, genitalia, ears — I mean, that alone tells you something funky is going on because they just leave the filet mignon. But the precision with which these incisions are made is laser focused, and seemingly using a technology which is beyond what we have available. Also, not a drop of blood was found at these sites. These animal mutilations have happened worldwide; and many ranchers report seeing UFOs basically. There have also been multiple reports of tripod markings near the animal – how the aliens use a tripod for their work, I have no idea. Maybe they film themselves…it’s like alien porn for them.
Wikipedia says that the US government conducted an investigation in the late 70s, and barely came to any conclusion, other than to say that the majority of these cases seemed to be due to natural predation. Another report said that it looked like the cows were tranquilized and given an anticoagulant.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_mutilation#Conventional_explanations
Of course, most likely, everyone listening to this podcast already has zero trust in the conclusions drawn by any US government investigation, but I alway like to read the bullshit stories government officials have to concoct in order to deflect attention. Natural predation seems to be the most popular story, but i think this is a pretty simple hypothesis to debunk, just by seeing the results for oneself – do these incisions truly have laser like precision, or are they clearly giant animal bite marks – I feel like the difference would not be subtle.
