From Flat Earthers to #Q Anon anons to Reptilian obsessives, they all seem to have it out for Satanists. Journalist Mike Rothschild (no relation to the bankers as it turns out) joins us as, by popular request, we once again plumb the darkest depths of the Internet for the weirdest Satanic conspiracy theories we can find. Out of the Satan-centric right-wing conspiracy muck, we hope to make sense out of a mad, mad, mad, mad world.
Praise, condemnation, questions, and other shapes the Earth could possibly be can be sent to blackmassappealpod@gmail.com.

There were two arches; in 2016 they were set up in NYC and London. I remember Clyde Lewis talking on Ground Zero about how the two arches might create a portal between them.
Here is a quote from Snopes: “In August 2015, this temple was destroyed by ISIS, and most of the world recoiled in terror at the loss of a “cultural heritage site”. In an attempt to “preserve history”, two exact replicas of the 50 foot arch that stood at the entrance to the temple will be erected in April 2016 in Times Square in New York City and in Trafalgar Square in London.
I can’t believe I’d missed this episode.
This should be a fun one… But I’m afraid some of this might hit a little close to home.
Sadly, my parents are DEEEEP into the whole Trump vs the Satanic Globalist Liberal Socialist worldview. But even then, they have their limits.
Case in point, when my mom first heard about flat-earthers, she was incredulous and couldn’t believe anyone genuinely believed that. She was convinced it was all a big prank. I had to assure her that sadly it is very very real.
I work in a used bookstore. And a few months ago I ran into an old friend from high school. Hadn’t seen this girl since 2001 when I graduated. She was super cool back then. But when I saw her again 20 years later, she was a) deep into the Evangelical Christian world, and b) started talking to me about flat earth…and imploring me to “look into it” and “do my own research.”
I honestly couldn’t bring myself to tell her I knew ALL about it….and was shocked and saddened that she had succumbed to such an outright delusion. I was genuinely speechless. I had only been on the clock for like 15 minutes when this happened….and literally decided to take my first 10 minute break right then and there….because I just felt shaky and thrown off balance mentally.
There was something truly chilling about talking to someone who I once knew so well….and realizing they were mentally GONE. It made me queasy and sad and angry all at once.
What a weird time we live in….
