Psychotherapist Fran Shure joins us to discuss her series, ‘Why Good People Become Silent - or Worse - About 9/11’. Drawing on her knowledge of psychology, Fran explains why people may find it uncomfortable to even entertain ideas which threaten their existing world-view, and what we can all do to watch for this tendency in ourselves.

Hello everyone, this is another abridged interview from The Darkened Hour podcast. Adam Fitzgerald and I were speaking with David Chandler, who is one of the principle physicists proposing a controlled demolition took place at the Twin Towers on September 11th. I spent time collating all the criticisms I could find of David’s work and attempted to put them to him. David attempted to talk us through the issues in a way that we, as non-physicists, could understand. I wanted to start by finding out a little more about David’s background, so he explains how he first came to see the United States as an Imperial power. The full interview is over two hours long and we go on to talk about the nature of the 9/11 Truth Movement - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HChI9ocBsXw

Is there a sense in which we are all born into a cult—the cult of the State? This all consuming entity that promises to educate us, to protect us from danger, to look after us when we are ill and provide for us when downtrodden.

Conspiracy however, much like spirituality, is a broad church, containing people who are chalk and cheese to each other. Indeed, a lot of people who clearly hold a broadly conspiratorial worldview would be aghast to be labeled conspiracy theorists. In much the same way, a lot of people involved in Advaita Vedanta or Zen Buddhism may not relish the term spirituality, with all the fluffy New Age connotations it contains.

Could it be then that coercive policing is actually generating far more crime than prevents? Could it be that if the police suddenly popped out of existence, society would quickly reorganise itself and find far more effective consensual solutions to crime?   Sources: Dr. Robert P.

Whilst at the point of recording, the term Conspirituality is exactly ten years old, the phenomenon is no doubt timeless. Whatever the forces are that yoke these two areas together, they are imprinted deeply in the human psyche. The prominent modern conspirituality theorist, David Icke, is expressing essentially the same themes as the Cathars were in the middle ages and the Gnostic Christians a thousand before that. This world is a kind of prison planet, ruled over by dark forces existing in both the material and spiritual realms.   The Emergence of Conspirituality by Charlotte Ward & David Voas https://conspirituality.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Ward-Voas-Conspirituality.pdf   Track: Walk it Off - Jae Ren Music provided by Verde Música Studio Watch: https://youtu.be/S2l-97PH5R8

The deeper question then, is why do we have poverty? Why does it persist? And are there things our coercive government structures do that exacerbate it?   Tiny Houses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6h7fL22WCE   Antony Sammeroff, Universal Basic Income - For and Against - https://tinyurl.com/4n94acrr   Track: Walk it Off - Jae Ren Music provided by Verde Música Studio Watch: https://youtu.be/S2l-97PH5R8

I’ve presented a model where the red pill of conspiracy theory can shatter our sense of indoctrinated consensus reality and give us the freedom to start to see the world more as it actually is. However that outcome is far from a foregone conclusion, when our reality shatters, what is to stop us from falling and falling until our feet land on the solid surface of the flat earth?   Track: Walk it Off - Jae Ren Music provided by Verde Música Studio Watch: https://youtu.be/S2l-97PH5R8
