I’m currently plodding my way through the dense but informative ‘Rogue Agents’ by David Teacher – one of the main texts on ‘Le Cercle’ – which has so far kept me from reading Vice of Kings due to its density. Cheers to Mr. Recluse for his efforts, which were previously unknown to me.
Sometimes its very much needed to ask the right questions on a complex, difficult subject. Which you definitely did Jasun.
On that note, the guest did very well in navigating and answering them
Fantastic conversation. I was wondering when Recluse would be back on.
However, I was surprised by your claim that “most” conspiracy researchers are also into occultism. I agree with Recluse that most people in the conspiracy field (at least in the Anglosphere) view occultism from a stereotypical Christian perspective (even if they’re not Christians themselves.) “The elites are using weird occult symbols and rituals to brainwash the masses!”
And on the other hand, I don’t see many practicing magicians that are also seriously into conspiracy research. John Michael Greer even dismisses “mundane” conspiracies like John Taylor Gatto’s history of American education.
I’m assuming you have Gordon White in mind, but I see him as an anomaly rather than the norm. During his first appearance on Skeptiko, he and Alex commiserated over the fact that conspiracy research is the least popular topic among their respective audiences (in terms of views, shares, downloads, etc.) Alex’s audience is more interested in consciousness research, and Gordon’s audience is more interested in practical magic.
If there was such a huge overlap between conspiracy research and occultism, as you claim, I would expect there to be at least one book publisher that caters to such an audience. Do you know of any? I don’t.
(And no, I’m not a practicing magician myself. Most of what I know about these topics comes from reading the academic texts. My interest is more from a historical/philosophical/sociocultural perspective.)
Long time no hear, IJ.
I probably did state it too strongly, I was thinking of White, Levenda, Occulture, Skeptiko, AeonByte, Higherside Chats (if we include new agey stuff & gnosticism), not all as practicing occultists but as generally non-skeptical about it & favorable towards. I would agree that conspiracy research is more marginalized than just about all the other fringes, not counting the giants Icke & Jones at least, who seem to have cornered the market.
John Dee, the famous wizard of Queen Elizabeth has been outed as a spy as well.
…which I mention because you both asked ‘where does this crossover between occultism and intelligence work go back to?.
Also it seems the crusaders and Muslims had a fair deal of cross fertilization between mystic minded on either side.
Julius Evola. Ev-oh-lah. Seeing as VISUP featured a photo of Oswald Spengler captioned as Evola, I’m not too surprised at the pronunciation difficulties. If you have Charles Upton back on, he would certainly be one to talk to about Evola if you are so inclined.
Thanks for bring so much of the conversation to the personal.
Agree that Visup is dispassionate and meticulous without offering a narrative.Bravo.
Its not easy to assemble this amount of data and remain impartial. Visup is an expert on the cartography of the global far right, no question.
Fascinating stuff about the transition of power between JSOC and the CIA, Harlots Ghost will be wailing and gnashing its teeth.
As Caitlin Johnstone says, dont hold your breath waiting for the Swamp to drain itself !
Ganis also thinks Kennedy assassination was in part due to his sexual entrapment. Story goes the Nazi Otto Skorzeny assassination network was deployed for the hit.
Fascinating to hear you talk about the various Christian esoteric orders, makes sense that elements of the Church that would want to manipulate the collective psyche, the only possible realm of the Occult. True that the esoteric is about the individual, the exoteric about the collective.
I have learned a lot from Visup, great work he is doing, cant wait for the book. Put a paypal on your blog mate. Part of me thinks he might be unconsciously trying to map his mysterious old man.
