RC Roundup #1

By Crypto Psi and Glen Rockney

-The hell is going on in Ohio? I guess some super random city that happens to be named “Palestine” is the subject of a controlled explosion. Our friend Jeremy Loffredo is in East Palestine and is a great follow in terms of what’s going on, but the pistons in my schizo brain are really pumping at this point. Is the goal with all this stuff, whether real or fake, to scare people away from going outside unless they absolutely have to? Think about it. You scare the libs and the elderly with “pandemics”, the conservatives with the illusion that every time they go to a major city they will be murdered, and a super odd chemical explosion in East Palestine, Ohio that no one seems to know the severity of (if it’s even severe at all). It’s tough to find out what’s real anymore.

-I’ve been thinking a lot about the drought in California over the past decade. It’s not like California was ever the Pacific Northwest in terms of rainfall, but I remember when it used to rain on and off all winter making everything green and beautiful in the state I love most. I also remember when California was a bit more open, even in the cities. Now you just have JG Ballard level high rises filled with shoebox sized apartments for $2100 a month surrounded by dry brush and literal trash. Somethings up.

I recently watched this short youtube video called “The Rainmakers” about the South Texas Weather Modification Association, which “creates rain” via cloud seeding to help local farmers. The I Fucking Love Science crowd would love this, I’m sure, but I’m mortified because I have a feeling that if you can create rain, you can also prevent rain. Don’t quote me on this but I believe that the drought in California was manufactured with the help of programs such as this (just look up at the cool little “flight patterns” in the sky) in order to create dry vegetation which led to massive fires that burned down a large portion of the state. Why would they do such a thing? I don’t know, maybe to clear out some homes of California natives and create new real estate for the aforementioned high rises? Just a thought…

-Twitter feels extra lame lately. Even the stuff that makes me laugh still feels like a net negative on the day. It used to be a fun platform to find like minded people to vent with, but now it just feels like its only use is to do instant reactions and “dunks” on stuff that almost no rational person agrees with. I don’t need to know who Aella is and I certainly don’t need to remind my followers that skipping breakfast isn’t necessary to combat food shortages, despite what the decaying Wall Street Journal says. Fix your world outside of Twitter and you’ll realize how inconsequential Twitter is.

-Aliens. Are they a government psyop? We don’t think so. Apologies for believing in alien influence on Earth before everyone got Twitter irony poisoned and triple-reverse psyopped. Anyone with eyes to see can note the endless evidence of extraterrestrial influence on our world and culture. And any true researcher would observe the countless stories of government employees, abductees, sightings, etc … Bob Lazar is a notable example, but I’m personally more intrigued by the Jackie Gleeson + Richard Nixon tale.

Now, is our government tinkering with the image of UFOs to control us? Almost certainly. But if your whole basis is to react the opposite way to whatever anyone says ever, you’re not any kind of real thinker. Please stop listening to us immediately if this is your style.

-Since we did the Pink Floyd episode, I can’t stop listening to their criminally underrated 1977 release, Animals and particularly the song “Dogs”. When Pink Floyd is at their best, it’s when David Gilmour is executing a Roger Waters song idea. You can tell he doesn’t want to do it, but like many great works of art, it’s best when the muse is tortured a bit.

-Psi note: we’ll get Glen on the Meddle train as far as Pink Floyd goes, especially as a DG fan. Apparently one of William P. Corgan’s favorite Floyd exercises. Glad Glen isn’t a direct Pink Floyd hater anymore, although I’m not sure he’d say he ever was.

-While I have you, let’s get weird. Spoon bending. Or more broadly, psychokinesis (PK for short). I’ve always believed weird stuff — but PK always seemed phony to me, kind of try-hard, and there are for sure spoon-bending scammers out there. Can anyone do it for real though?

I recently made acquaintances with a gentleman who swears he’s done it. I think we can get him on the podcast soon. He started out as an acolyte of Robert Monroe and the Monroe Institute. These are the preeminent lucid dream and out of body experience guys. Then slowly, this gentleman got into less abstract forms of weirdness — affecting dice in casino games, slot machines, etc … then he got invited to a “spoon bending party”, was asked to bring his own unadulterated spoons, and proceeded to bend a spoon using only his mind. Supposedly. Other PK tricks include lighting a lightbulb attached to nothing and sprouting wheat seeds in the palm of your hand.

He claims to have been extremely skeptical of spoon bending, in spite of his history with out of body travel and other milder forms of PK. Hopefully we can discuss in person on the podcast soon. What do you think?

-You’ll want to become a paid subscriber of this Substack. Trust me. There’s premium episodes about Play Misty For Me , Jurassic Park , and over ten episodes of Glen Rockney’s deeply personal podcast where he walks around his neighborhood with a field recorder, The Glen Word.

-Also, Glen was featured on Yeerk P’s Bistro Californium podcast (free) where they touched on the crimes against the work of Roald Dahl. Glen was also featured on the return of The Saltbox discussing E-40 and his seminal 2006 album My Ghetto Report Card.
