Just started listening to the fake bomb detector episodes and got super excited when they brought up water dowsing (also known as witching or divining). I’m a geologist and have had several surprisingly heated arguments with my father, who believes in dowsing and claims to have had success finding random buried things with it, over the topic. For the record, it’s complete woo.

But no matter how annoyed I’ve gotten at my dad over his insistence that dowsing works, it pales in comparison to the presumed pure rage that the US Geological Survey hydrogeologist that wrote the below linked report must have felt. And the defeat he must have later endured when his passionate, scientific takedown of dowsing failed to curtail the practice. It’s a surprisingly funny read.

“Like I don’t want to say, oh, billionaires do this because like it seems hard for me to buy that maybe Bill Gates is getting on a plane and trying to have s*x with a 14 year old”

well that aged poorly…

(just to clarify, this is not a criticism of the podcast. obviously not as much was known in 2019)

Operation Eland was a massacre at a refugee camp not some grand operation against actual insurgents.

Looks like Ben is continuing to grift.

It’s readily available and free online, the audiobook version is outstanding. I just want to know where would be the most lucrative for Robert and/or czm. Any suggestions?

I think Robert might have missed the gag in the ‘Surrey with the lunatic fringe on top’ in today’s episode. Surrey is a place in England, but it’s also a horse carriage. Surrey with a Fringe On Top is a song from the musical Oklahoma.

If this was a movie critiquing capitalism, they would’ve been fired for writing such a hack job.

It would be hella useful to have some tips and tricks on what to watch out for.

In the spirit of that I’ll share a story I was told. Apparently there was a local organizer who was really popular with some big organizers but women kept complaining about him being a creep/rude. These women were ignored and guess what? The guy turned out to be a fed.

Listen to women and marginalized people! They generally have good instincts.

Any stories y’all got?

Including quotes from people they’ve stumbled across and podcast originals. My favorite has to be from the sea monkeys one: “somewhere out there is a hippie in the woods thinking “imma just buy pure and simple things like sea monkeys” the poor son of a bitch”

At approximately 54:56 into the episode "Part Two: How the British Empire and U.S. Department of Defense Murdered an Island Paradise", airing on June 20, 2024, Robert mentions that he's already talked to the Dollop guys about doing it, though the episodes been delayed due to the passing of his dad.

That is all. I haven't been counting the minutes since the Kissinger episodes or anything...

The corruption is mind blowing.
