2024-09-11 20:27:09 +0000 UTCThis episode is one of my all time favourites up there with the Station night club tragedy and the oral surgeon who sold body parts. Vintage material.

2024-07-04 15:13:47 +0000 UTCAll my childhood was plagued by this kind of trash. I'm glad I found someone remembering it's all a lie made up by thieves and swindlers.

2024-07-03 17:11:35 +0000 UTCThis whole episode was flashbacks to childhood raises on Chick Tracks and Warnke. Thanks, ACC, I'm going to get a drink.

2024-07-02 23:21:19 +0000 UTCIs it weird that I didn’t realize he was a “Satan Seller” and not in a “Satan Cellar” 😅

2024-07-01 01:46:41 +0000 UTCSure, but his timeline was a 1980 takeover and Reagan was a satanic lizard who started the ball rolling.

2024-07-01 00:55:35 +0000 UTCHad he lived long enough to see Trump, he might have finally gotten it right.

2024-06-30 23:08:45 +0000 UTCGroovy, ACC, I really dig trucking through this reminder of 1970s lingo! It's a gas and really heavy!! Plus it brings back reminders of my past growing up in Evangelical and Charismatic (think Pentacostal lite) churches. I distinctly remember reading Warnke's book in 1974, when I was 13. So glad that era is over! But today is really no better -- we still have far too many people who fall for and believe bullshit conspiracy crap. There's Q-Anon; absurd myths that vaccines are a tool of the illuminati to cull the population; lies that babies are routinely killed after birth. ALL of these are perpetrated by people who are getting rich and gaining power from gullible people who depend on conspiracy ideas to help them understand a complicated world.
Michelle Hebert
2024-06-30 23:02:59 +0000 UTCWell done. I didn't realize it went that deep. The music was exceptional as well, deformr. Perfect Sunday treat, ACC.

2024-06-30 22:22:25 +0000 UTCChefs kiss !! This was delicious, I grew up during satanic panic, and even then I rolled my eyes so hard you could almost hear it. This episode made me feel real self righteous (or maybe it’s Satan)
