The Year of the Werewolf resumes with a new mini series. Researcher and investigator Ryan joins us once again to discuss Otto Skorzeny and the Spider Network in the Emerald Isle. In textbook Ghost Stories style, though, we’re taking this first episode to do a little scene setting with a crash course in the history of Ireland: colonial occupation, Irish resistance, the machinations of the British deep state, and the IRA’s vexed and uneasy relationship with Germany and, later, NAZIS.

Achtung: Heute Abend diskutieren wir die Revolutionen von 1848 und wie sie die Polizei zur Weißglut brachten. Die deutsche Polizei (wer sonst?) beschloss, einen grenzüberschreitenden Verband zu gründen, um das edle Proletariat und seine rüstigen Organisationsbemühungen im Keim zu ersticken. Dabei schufen sie so etwas wie Interpol: den ersten Entwurf. Seid dabei, wenn Ghost Stories for the End of the World und The Return of the Repressed sich mit kranken Truthähnen herumschlagen.
Nic joins me for a dark journey through the European side of Jeffrey Epstein's transnational sex trafficking/paedophile/blackmail/espionage network.

For your consideration:
TOWNHOUSE
Graveyard Bunker is back, but tonight we’re not discussing history with a Halloween twist. Tonight, your humble host thought he’d tell you a real spook story.
I don’t believe in the supernatural, but I still, almost thirty years later, have no logical explanation for the series of strange events my family experienced in a certain house, in a certain place, over the course of three years in the mid-90s.
Perhaps you do.
Names and certain details/events have been changed or lightly fictionalised to protect the living. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.

Deep state hustlers, managed democracy and managed violence, the life and times of Tommy Robinson in his own words, Christian nationalism, O9A, MI5, gladio, dark money and dark ops, football firms, informants and assets, cocaine, the non-materiality of England, State accelerationism, and British fascism as an informal instrument of civic order.

We’re setting the table for the year ahead in Ghost Stories, and to do so we’ll be following a number of threads that may or may not have much to do with each other. Key to this one is the UK’s relationship with the US, which we use to explore how unnerving it feels to be alive in the Hermit Kingdom in the last days, its mind blown out by redundant upper management and a deep state that no longer has any purpose. We mainline the DMT released from the dying spider’s brain, exploring Keir Starmer as the Last Man, dreams in the imperial core, surveillance, terrorism, the dregs of empire, classified US-UK programs like GHOSTHUNTER and APPARITION, temporal dislocation, and long-dead spree killers haunting the Yorkshire moors.
People try to be the king but the ace is back, with a banging new theme tune and a story that explores the decadence of the Palermo Belle Époque. The mafia is now well entrenched and reaching ever further into the Italian system; a banking crisis exposes industrial-scale fraud and leads to the first eminent corpse.

"A couple travel to Sweden to visit their friend's rural hometown for its fabled midsummer festival, but what begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult."
None of the synopses really get the pitch right but what the hell, this'll do.
Dir: Ari Aster
Joined for this one by Marcus and Seb of THE RETURN OF THE REPRESSED podcast
"Set against the backdrop of Belgium's most notorious unsolved crime spree, 1985 begins as three friends - Vicky, her brother Franky, and his best friend Marc - begin a new chapter of their lives, when they set off from their hometown to Brussels. But as their adulthood and careers in the big city commence, the trio risks losing their innocence and noble illusions, as they find themselves caught in the middle of the horrifying events that shocked a generation and will come to leave a scar on the entire country."

Tonight we tie off Brabant Killers Redux by looking at an especially bizarre event that occurred just before the final massacre, using it as an illustrative example of how deep into the weeds you can fall, if you so wish, in trying to understand this most eerie of true stories. We then explore various theories people have put forward over the years to explain the crimes, and offer our own holistic take for good measure. We close by discussing what became of major players in the case, and set up threads we will pursue for the remaining episodes of TBXF.

Note: This is actually the first part of a four hour recording we did, but after some discussion we decided to cut it down into more manageable 60 - 90 minute instalments. This means Aftermath pt ii will land next week and, most likely, there will be an Aftermath iii dropping the week after. Then we're back to the usual 2 week release schedule. This now means that instead of 10 or 11 X-Files episodes there will probably be 13 or 14. Hope you enjoy, and have a good weekend.

We discuss Forrest Gump and boomers. The film arrived at a time when competing claims of ownership over the legacy of the 60s and “what it all meant” were becoming a major cultural issue, manifesting everywhere from the halls of Congress to The Simpsons to the work of pop horror guru Stephen King.
What Forrest Gump perfectly demonstrates is how the American imaginary has misinterpreted its own history. From early meetings with Elvis Presley and an encounter with the civil rights movement, to a spell in Vietnam and a chat with John Lennon, Forrest embodies the American as it would like to see itself, merely floating on the river of history, without bearing any responsibility for the shape it takes.
We then probe the deeper implications of the films reactionary politics, and the death of nancy adam susan nancy adam susan the 60s dream. For the last third of the episode we discuss how Ron Howard unwittingly applies the technique of a “broadcast signal interruption” to historical narratives, and we then explore what implications this may have for the eyes watching unblinking a far more sinister agenda.
The story of a psyops agent called Colin Wallace, MI5 coups against the British state, Gladio in Northern Ireland and abuse rings sanctioned by the secret city.

Poppy Bush exits the White House and pardons his underbosses on the way out the door. The Clintons take the reins, their rise to power assisted by mob bagmen, shady financial deals and a corrosive Third Way platform. The Inslaw case is dead, PROMIS is now a technomyth, and history has ended. But a number of political operatives, spooks, hustlers, shakedown artists and disinformation agents are starting to talk to anyone who'll listen about dark compromises, drug trafficking, contract hits and espionage stretching back to the early 80s.
WE ARE BACK.
Support the show here: https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd
We talked to Bill Hamilton and our tiny minds were blown, so many thanks to him for answering our questions.
We begin with a look at how the Inslaw case, PROMIS and the intelligence underworld collided head-on with the 90s. We talk about how things ended for the Hamiltons, then pivot to exploring where PROMIS may have gone, or what it may have become, by looking at the rise of the surveillance state, privatization, 9/11, managed violence, Silicon Valley and more.
Even though PROMIS role in the story is mostly finished, THE TRAIN KEEPS ROLLING BABY.

This is the hinge point of our miniseries; while Danny's role in the story ends here, we'll be following up on his leads and chasing PROMIS around the world for the remainder of the series. From here on, things only get darker.
Cocaine bears, Kentucky drug runners, CIA gunmen and mercs aplenty.

MI6, the ruins of empire, the Royal Family, arms trafficking, terrorism, oligarchs, the gangster state and more converged on a tunnel in Paris one horrifying night in August 1997. We look at a pivotal moment in the history of the modern British Establishment (in as much as anything about the Establishment is 'modern'), and examine the web of intrigue surrounding both Diana's death and the British monarchy, a web that persists up to the present day.

Danny Casolaro's pursuit of the Octopus brings him into contact with a geek burnout and spook fixer called Michael Riconosciuto. Riconosciuto is an operative of some kind (we think), and he has a lot to tell Danny about about software hacking, CIA ops, UFOs, bioweapons and gun deals in the desert. Casolaro is intoxicated, but following Rico's leads and trying to untangle truth and fantasy mires him even deeper in a bizarre underworld of rogue spies, gangsters and corrupt politicians. We also discuss the early spread of the stolen PROMIS software and consider how it might have been bugged and what its utility might have been.
Danny Casolaro is a freelance journalist on the hunt for a scoop when he hears about the Inslaw Affair. Bill Hamilton has a hell of a tale to tell him: a horror story about grinding bureaucracy, corruption in high places, rogue intelligence operatives and low-level footsoldiers for the gangster state. In hearing this, Danny feels destiny calling, and his curiosity soon morphs into an all-consuming obsession.

Inslaw Inc developed a version of a software package called PROMIS that was leaps and bounds beyond anything comparable at the time. It was stolen by the US government and allegedly distributed to clients around the world with a secret "back door" surveillance modification. The Inslaw Affair is, for many people, the Rosetta Stone of modern American conspiracy, a high tech Watergate. Before we get truly out there, myself and the myserious Mr Benjamin Ghazi are going to use this opening episode to really get to grips with what PROMIS actually did, why it was worth stealing, and, just maybe, why it was worth killing for.

The final, Beast-length installment of CASINO. We talk Ronald Reagan: actor, dreamweaver, visionary, plus President, and we also discuss Agha Hasan Abedi: banker, pseudo-revolutionary and shaman capo of BCCI. Connecting both are the machinations of the White Rose, Poppy Bush, and a transatlantic alliance of spooks and political operatives who can taste the final victory, the big time, the ecstasy of gold. All is clouded by desire, and the towers loom above us.
We talk to Robert Skvarla about his excellent new series "The cover-up behind 'UFO Cover up? Live!'", available over on Diabolique. We discuss disinformation, spooks. the UFO community and why we shouldn't expect too much from any government "disclosure".

The CIA is under new management. As the skim operation and the links between the mob and the Agency are exposed, a panicked attempt at a cover-up ensues. A neon paradise disappears in a tsunami of gore and litigation, but not everyone falls. We end with a look at the claim that the FBI "cleaned up" Vegas, and discuss the mob frontman who briefly became the most powerful man in the world. He might be back in the White House in a couple of years.

In the first episode of BOOKS OF WAR, we trace the origin of the Sicilian Mafia and explore how it drew on 2000 years of history to fashion grandiose creation myths that obscured the grim reality of what it was and how it came into existence.
We kick off 2022 with a deep dive into the Process Church of the Final Judgement as part of our lateral look at the Manson family. A new religious movement and cult that was influenced by Carl Jung as much as Scientology, Process has been the subject of wild and feverish speculation for years. Art school try-hards or the guiding hand behind a secret "Satanic terror network"? Neonazi occultists or a pyramid scheme aimed at middle class dropouts? Our goal in this episode is to chart a path through the fog of bullshit and paranoia, and find something approximating the Truth.

Part 1: Hollywood. 1969. Hippies and revolutionaries mingle with rock gods and movie stars. The dream is over, but the party won't end. Gangsters, drug dealers, spooks and cult leaders haunt the scene. As the summer rolls on, Reagan unleashes his dogs on the counterculture, LAPD bulls run wild, paranoia reaches fever pitch, secret networks plot in the shadows, and the Family mounts an apocalyptic assault on Cielo Drive.
Tonight, we begin the end of Season of the Witch with a look at the dark networks encircling the LA scene of the late-60s, and go deep on one of the CIA's most controversial programs and the sickos who ran it.
A look at the life, times and mindset of Richard Nixon and his America. Bridging the 1960s and the 1970s, his administration is infamous for its corruption, dirty tricks and endless hustles. We follow him as he navigates a swamp of neofascist masons and CIA congressmen, Bohemian Grove bigshots and Wall Street creeps, discussing everything from his bloodcurdling foreign policy to his raving paranoia.

The Dark Cowboy (Brace - @TrueAnonPod) once again guides the humble host (myself - @ghoststoriesend) on a dark voyage into the West Coast netherhead. A psychedelic abyss, you might say, where spooks, dirty politicians, killers, crooks, cult leaders and capering grotesques grin with bloody, hungry mouths as the 60s counterculture slams head-on into the nihilistic 70s.

We use the Zodiac case and the circus surrounding as a window through which to explore the occult, murky depths of California during the Age of Aquarius. Let's just say that these two shows have a little of everything, so saddle the horses and prepare to ride with myself and the Dark Cowboy into the psychosphere.
While LSD wasn't the sole cause of "The Sixties", the era would have looked far different without acid. Tonight we explore how LSD and other psychedelics served a political and social function from the earliest days of the CIA, taking in Cold War brinkmanship, MKUltra, and the search for mind control.

This is it - the penultimate episode of Amerikan Tabloid. See the crows alight on telephone poles like emissaries from the underworld as we follow this broken road into the dark heart of post-war Americana, ash in our eyes and smoke in our lungs. First, we dig on shakedown artist, bagman, fixer and private investigator Robert Maheu, tracking his work for the CIA and Howard Hughes, before dropping in on the Kennedys as Bobby launches a crusade against organized crime and Jack contemplates a presidential run. We then look at the mafia war of the 1950s and the Appalachin farce that humiliated J. Edgar Hoover. Shortly afterwards, the Cuban Revolution leaves American mobsters and businessmen alike out of pocket and looking for payback. Meanwhile, some geek with delusions of grandeur splits from the US Marines and fetches up in the USSR. I hear they call him Lee Harvey Oswald. This one goes well with neat Scotch and a fresh pack of Lucky Strikes. You do not want to miss it, so get some.

The mafia spread from Sicily to the US in the latter half of the 19th century. Thereafter it began a slow and patient accumulation of power as it carved out a niche for itself in the multi-ethnic underbelly of the New World, until Prohibition turbo-charged the black market economy and brought killers and hustlers closer than ever to the commanding heights of American politics and big business...and planted the seeds for 100 years of deep intrigue.

One last visit to Italy before we journey to the USA. Here we consider two stories, one real and one fictional: the life and times of Peppino Impastato, and Giorgio De Maria's work of occult, visionary genius, The 20 Days of Turin. I haven't been able to think of one without thinking of the other all year long, and tonight I try to figure out why, exploring the Anno di Piombo, history, terrorism, alienation, paranoia, the mafia, and where we might go from here.

It’s a blood soaked journey through one of the darkest periods of Italy's recent past, and a sorely overlooked part of modern European history to boot.

...and don't get captured,
What do we mean when we talk about "the mafia"? In this episode, we go back over 200 years to offer a brief history of Italy's three crime syndicates, touching on politics, economics, Freemasonry and more!

We are back with the first of a new quartet of episodes! This time we're looking at the Years of Lead, and the story of Aldo Moro's kidnapping by the Red Brigades. Political idealism, deep intrigue and staggering violence collide in an event that still casts a long shadow today. We cap off with a brief book recommendation too! Apologies for the layoff; hopefully you remain un-captured.
For anyone who ever suspected "They" were out to get you, here it is: Operation Gladio, the notorious secret armies of NATO. We explore the formation and activities of the famous stay-behind networks, taking in terrorism, the CIA and the mafia, while also discussing Italy in the post-war period.
Concluding our look at the Brabant Killers - what happened when they returned, more violent and unhinged than ever, and what theories developed in the wake of this incredibly bizarre and terrifying murder and robbery spree. This one has everything, folks - spooks, gangsters, dirty cops, arms dealers, VIP orgies and a Spinal Tap-esque death. Listen to it on something strong.
The first in a multi-episode look at the bizarre story of the Brabant Killers. Gangsters, spooks, dirty cops and more become entangled in one of the strangest crime sprees imaginable, all while Cold War paranoia reaches fever pitch and a wave of conspiracy and terrorist attacks rock Belgium to its foundations. Sorry for the delay folks, the sequel to this episode will be up ASAP.
A brief intro to the aims of this project, and a deep dive into the first of our real life ghost stories, the Marc Dutroux affair.
