The Murder of Mark Kilroy

DEEP DIVE - On this episode we talk about one of the most iconic people on the planet in the last 100 years, her life and her death, and the cultural legacy she left behind after her untimely death, Marilyn Monroe.With her early life being plagued with insecurity and tragedy, it seems impossible to image that Marilyn was destined to become one of the most powerful women in Hollywood. But drugs, alcohol and an ever present cloud of mental illness hung over her and stunted her meteoric rise.With a string of very high profile husbands and lovers, some of the public considered her to be a bimbo and a floozy who was sleeping her way to the top, but as we discover she was a shrewd operator and had a level of genius matched with Einstein. Her premature death has been inspected and reexamined by hundreds of experts and noone can ever really know the motive or perpetrator of Marilyn's death. Was it by her own hand or did someone help her on her way? Presidents and Mafioso have been implicated in her murder and recent reevaluations of the evidence indicate her death was at least very suspicious.________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

DEEP DIVE - On this episode we out on our proton packs and edge our way into the world of the hereafter where the spirits of the dead hold dominion. This is the reconstituted version of a show from the start of Season 1, which was horroibly disfigured by technical faults. This is the full version of Ghosts, with some extra juice! We talk about the origins of ghost stories from around the world and the types of ghosts that the human mind thought relevant to create. There is an imperative for people to think there is something after death, why would we behave while we were alive if there wasn't? But from culture to culture and all through the ages there have been stories of ghosts to quieten naughty children and scare heathen adults into obedience.  As in our Ed and Lorraine Warren episode, we discuss a haunting and what speaking with the dead can do for someone who wants to make a quick buck. There are the most famous haunted houses and well known stories of ghouls and apparitions from thorughout history too and we try to fit in as many as we can. There is also a science to the world of the afterlife, and ghost hunters have made their living trying to bring us closer to the truth of where we go when we die. We chat about exorcists and spiritual mediums and how these alleged TV charlatans can have any method of truly communicating with the spirit world. ________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

DEEP DIVE - On this episode of Those Conspiracy Guys we delve deep into the septic tank of modern news media and examine what's now called 'Fake News', but we have always known it as Propaganda. A tool invented by sociologists using psychological techniques to convice the public to think and act against their will.  We talk about the scientific techniques and the origins of the idea of manipulation of media throughout history. We all learned in school that Hitler had a propaganda machine, but what is not told to impressionable young kids is that pretty much every type of media uses a form of manipulation in the delivery of its message. The man behind this is Edward Bernays and we talk about him and his techniques as well as discussing Chomsky and Hermann and their Propaganda Model and how the filters they describe are at work in our modern news media.  We also give Trump his few minutes, because you cant talk about bullshit without talking about The Donald. We discuss the Womens March and the Inauguration protests and the future of the mainstream media in this hotbed of polarised politics. ________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

DEEP DIVE - On this episode we talk about the most holy of holies and the headquarters of the Catholic Church, The Vatican. Existing uniquely as a state, a corporation and a person, The Vatican and The Holy See has been surrounded in mystery from the outside world for hundreds of years. We wonder what goes on inside its walls and discuss the known inner workings of Vatican City. We also talk about the Swiss Guard and their killer skill and how difficult it is to get into The Vatican as a citizen. We discuss the Vatican Bank and the weird classifications it has for lending money. We also examine the origins of The Vatican and how it popped into existence in a feudal Italy and how it had links to and was influenced by the Italian Mafia and The Jesuits. And of course we talk about the scandals that surround the Catholic Church and the reactions of the various Popes. So join us for this and loads more on our Christmas episode of TCG and have a great holiday! See you soon for episode 1 of Season 5! ________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

DEEP DIVE - On this episode we talk about the medical marvel that has been teetering on the edge of legality for the better part of a century, Recently legalised in many states in the US and free to possess in over 50 countires worldwide, the public opinion of marijuana is changing. Its medicinal properties are being identified and rolled out to an unwilling medical community and dispenseries are making big bucks selling top grade Mary-Jane. But the other properties of the cannabis plant, its potential as a fuel source and its use in the textile industry, may have sealed its fate at the turn of the 20th century as billionaire oligarchs used racist propaganda to convince people their familiar cannabis plant was a new evil marijuana narcotic. One toke and your incurably addicted. ________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

DEEP DIVE - On this episode we take a look at the long and chequered history of what many people believe is the worst company in the world. Monsanto have stood as the perfect exemplification of the evil corporation whose tireless drive for profits and political influence have left a growing wake of environmental disasters, ruined lives and accompanying lawsuits. An apex point of protest for conspiracy theorists and environmental activists alike. Today their toxic chemical past has given way to a new new issue of debate. As the leaders in the field of genetic manipulation the biotech giants have their altered mark in the majority of commercial seeds.

DEEP DIVE - On this episode we get lost in the world of psychedelic substances and their overwhelming affect on  our own personal perception of reality. From mushrooms and peyote to LSD and DMT these mind altering biochemical agents are woven into the fabric of human culture. Thousands of years of traditional experimentation and deliberation have lead up to the modern era of vilification of psychedelics and their attributes with current scientific research curtailed by the on-going global war on drugs. With the true nature of psychedelics, and possible place in the awakening of human consciousness, a casualty of modern society. ________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.
