The Völk Mind Virus (Premium E272)
Added 2024-12-28 05:10:54 +0000 UTCWhat if “The Law of Attraction” was only for Aryans? Just in time for the holidays, Brad is back to let you know that Nazi-occult societies are alive and flourishing. Namely, a group claiming to be the direct genetic descendants of the “historical” Vril Society, the supposed Nazi-era metaphysical group that counted Hitler among its ranks. This episode has esoteric racism, templar LARPing, goddess rituals, hollow earth super Aryans, hairstyle discourse, a Ford Mustang obsession, and even starseeds. It’s a true QAA Xmas miracle.
We’ll attempt to answer: How much of the WWII occult history is real? What’s the real history of the Sonnenrad symbol? Are these contemporary groups just conspiratorial LARPers with too much time and money (and a serious hair fetish), or something much more sinister? And finally, did we really need to hear that bit of high school-era Brad lore?
Stick around for Professor Julian Strube of the University of Göttingen - a man who has spent the best years of his life researching these groups - as he helps us untangle this dense web of Nazi occult history, and how we’ve gotten to our current living hell.

I re-listened to that segment about 8 times. Scissors and some tape destroyed me. And any time Jake/Jules start belly laughing is just 🫶

2025-01-08 11:28:18 +0000 UTC"Bulwer-Lytton wrote many other works, including Vril: The Power of the Coming Race (1871) which drew heavily on his interest in the occult and contributed to the early growth of the science fiction genre.[36] Its story of a subterranean race waiting to reclaim the surface of the Earth is an early science fiction theme. The book popularised the Hollow Earth theory and may have inspired "Nazi mysticism".[37] His term "vril" lent its name to Bovril meat extract.[38] The book was also the theme of a fundraising event held at the Royal Albert Hall in 1891, the Vril-Ya Bazaar and Fete.[39] "Vril" has been adopted by theosophists and occultists since the 1870s and became closely associated with the ideas of an esoteric neo-Nazism after 1945.[40]" Bovril is Nazi meat juice.

2025-01-05 17:34:24 +0000 UTCThe hair thing is crazy because the FIRST thing I think of when someone says "hair fetish" is Italian serial killer Danilo Restivo who killed a woman here in the UK... Ever since that I've found it hard to see hair fetish stuff as anything other than sinister. Also what is it with Italians and hair lmao

2025-01-02 19:47:16 +0000 UTCThis ep was great, Jake mocking these people in the most deranged ways imaginable has been a christmas miracle ❤️ also this episode is how I realised that the silly vaguely Nazi sympathising documentary my friend and ai watched years ago about UFOs and Antarctica was deliberately being Nazi supportive. The more you know 🙂💫

2025-01-02 03:26:47 +0000 UTCInteresting how many of these nazi occult groups were run by French people, would love for you guys to do an episode on Pierre Plantard, the Priory of Zion and its later plagiarization by the Da Vinci Code.

2024-12-31 13:21:51 +0000 UTCMy brain is producing an episode of Space:1999 where the Moon goes through the Aldebaran system. Alpha base is overtaken by nazi spacetroopers but when their leader (the hair stylist) sees Dr. Helena Russell they just spend the rest of the episode fussing over her hair. The last scene is a freshly remodeled Eagle's Nest with photos of Barbara Bain plastering every wall.

2024-12-30 16:07:24 +0000 UTCThis reminds me of when a "pagan" sort of themed flower shop opened up in my town, and during the grand opening a picture was snapped of the mayor, unknowingly, standing right in front of a big sonnenrad statue. The mayor was quick to denounce it, but the shop tried pretending it was actually not a Nazi thing, and was about vikings and nature, the normal sort of new age/alt right cover for it.

Heather Law
2024-12-30 11:38:06 +0000 UTCThe hair thing might just be one guy here, but Bill Gothard of the IBLP did create a whole cultural standard for a whole range of fundamentalist Christians not just of long hair for women, but specifically loose curls. (And yes, the IBLP and Gothard are breathtakingly racist! Shocker.)

2024-12-29 03:20:39 +0000 UTCBy "new order" group, do they mean Neuordnung or the actual group New Order? The NSWPP was renamed New Order and moved to suburban Milwaukee by the guy that succeeded George Lincoln Rockwell. They're still active around here, and their website was still up as of a few years ago. I ain't checking now but there's a fuckload of esoteric nazis and people into vril in this area

David D.
2024-12-28 21:48:35 +0000 UTCPersonally, if I were a Nazi, and choosing a muscle car from the film Bullet to be a Nazi icon, I wouldn't have picked the Mustang. I'd pick the Charger. It was faster, handled better, and was roomier (so more Nazis could be carried in greater comfort) than the 'Stang. During fillming of the chase scene the driver of the Charger kept having to slow down to let the 'Stang catch up. Properly equipped that Charger could do interstellar travel. You wouldn't need a flying saucer. BTW, what's with these Nazi dweeb's musical choices? Most of it sounds like Klingon opera, or public domain EDM. Then again, even Klingon opera is better than Wagner.
