The only thing Robert wants is for Garrison to lead a coup and take over his pods.

Speaking to a comment made at the end of the last episode, I'd love an episode on Matt Drudge. Also somewhat related to Focus on the Family, when I was in college Ralph Reed came by campus to give a talk, though I have no idea why given this was a really small, very liberal Quaker school. I had the dubious honor of talking with him for a few minutes in the student union before I realized who he was. Now that's another good nominee for a BtB episode.

Even though I am sure that this Cecil Rhodes ep will go horribly horribly wrong, I am already fully on board 20 mins in with the combination of Robert's British accent and Prop's energy.

Weird question: I always listen to Behind the Bastards but don’t always listen to Worst Year Ever. Tonight I started up the latest episode of WYE and in the first two ad segments I’ve heard 3 ads for hospice services (the second time it was just the same ad twice). I know that the ads are targeted based on the local election ads I’ve heard in the past, and literally yesterday my mom emailed me and my sister about starting to talk about hospice care for my dad. Is this a really weird coincidence that just happened because BtB and WYE have different ad sets and I don’t listen often to the latter or am I gonna have to go turn off some “please take all my private information” settings on my phone?

The most recent WYE is absolutely chock full of information, I consider myself pretty plugged in and there were multiple things here I hadn’t heard of. I also got a commercial for a podcast that was so upsetting I took out my headphones and threw them across the room! It was a podcast about how to handle missing out on the social, fun part of college in times of COVID. Powerful “Ring by Spring” energy

I have been getting those hospice ones pretty relentlessly as well recently, and other than having parents in their 60's with no major health issues, I can't imagine why they would personalize that for me. Seems to me like someone is just paying a premium like those flood of Bloomberg ads.

I read Robert Rotberg's book on the creation of Zambia and Malawi for my dissertation research. Came out shortly after those countries became independent in the mid-60s but was a pretty good political history. If anyone's interested in how Rhodes was remembered into the 1930s, there's a 1936 British biopic of him called Rhodes of Africa, starring Walter Huston. It's available on YouTube (actually used to be streaming on Netflix until not too long ago, surprisingly) and the end is basically Paul Kruger forgiven Rhodes for the Jameson Raid, then smash cutting to the end of the Boer War to show how Kruger forgiving Rhodes led to the unity of the white races in Africa. Lobengula is also played by Lobengula's actual nephew.

Just listened to the Jordan Peterson episodes. A lot new in there for me, especially the first one, and I liked the comparison of Peterson to Joseph Campbell. But I do have one quibble about the end of the second episode. As far as I know, Mikayla Peterson isn't married to the pick-up artist, the PUA is the guy she's seeing on the side, after having left her husband in Russia to look after Jordan while she went clubbing in Serbia.

I'm just surprised they didn't go into the weird grandma incest dream from Maps of Meaning. Then again, it's the kind of thing so hard to slot in, it would require a segue clunkier than Robert's ad transitions.

The podcast Failed State Update just did a few episodes on a specific case from the Satanic Panic involving a group called the Finders, and how both the Finders and the law enforcement panic about them prefigured QAnon, for those interested in more content along these lines.

If we’re getting deep into the most heart breaking and disturbing aspects of the Panic, then at least I hope we get into the silly as gently caress “Proctor and Gamble is Satanic, look at their logo” bit to balance it out. That debacle was probably the most QAnon-like event of the panic.

If you haven’t had your fill of talk about the satanic panic, the book We Believe the Children has a little more about what was going on outside of California and does a good job tying the panic to the larger cultural shift towards conservatism happening at the time (which, because they facilitated working women, daycares were a common target of) Also I don’t think it would quite warrant a Behind the Bastards because it’s super sketch but the case that got me interested in reading about these cases is the Boys Town orphanage in Omaha, and one Larry King (not that Larry King though). I think the most believable part of that one, and why it felt plausible to me in a way that others didn’t, is because it reframed it as a Republican child trafficking ring, up to and including at least one Bush White House. Although I think time and QAnon’s rise has made me realize that targeting political opponents with wild, evidence-light claims of trafficking are bad, especially when there are plenty of politicians where there are actual evidence of potential misconduct (Trump, Clinton, etc)

Listening to the second Satanic Panic episode made me realize how much overlap there was between the Satanic Panic and the explosion of alien abduction lore happening at the same time in the 1980s. Not only the actual accounts (repressed memories, quasi-medical experiments, reproduction, etc.) but also the methodology of people promoting it (hypnosis, gaslighting, even Oprah promotion). Does anyone know of any article or book that looks at this connection?

Does anyone know of any article or book that looks at this connection? I'm not sure if theres a direct correlation, the alien abduction getting popular is mostly because of the internet starting and it allowing for a conspiracy mythos to really solidify amongst a wide population Even then, alien abductions had been already been associated with sexual abuse, repressed memories, and experimentation well before the satanic panic in the mainstream (just look at Barney and Betty Hill abduction from the 1960s). It definitely gets welded together in the 90s by Alex Jones and the white nationalist christian patriot movement in the 90s though OJ MIST 2 THE DICK fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Nov 2, 2020 |

But a lot of that is the developments in the UFO culture starting in the late 1970s from people like Budd Hopkins, Paul Bennewitz, Stanton Friedman, and John Lear. I mean, the Hills did have the element of hypnosis and the putative pregnancy test for Betty, but there wasn't really anything "experimental" beyond that, and no hybridization or the like. That's all stuff that really begins to emerge with Hopkins' 1981 Missing Time, who also cements the idea that aliens will walk into your bedroom at night, the idea that "phantom pregnancies" are alien impregnation and then harvesting them, and standardizes the Grey look and particularly sets up networks of hypnotic memory retrieval of abductees that sounded exactly like the Satanic Panic hypnotists. And the same time there's the Dulce Base theory that's emerging with a network of government insiders who are selling out American children to aliens living in underground tunnels, the "ritual" mutilation of animals, kids being abducted to see their missing "siblings" on alien ships, etc. All of which is introduced to the UFO lore in the 1980s at this exact time. Even Area 51/Roswell is from the late 1970s, with its cabal of pro-alien government figures hiding the truth from honest Americans. If anything, I think modern UFO culture tends to be a lot more from this than from the 1940s/50s/60s UFO culture which was a lot more nuts and bolts in their approach, and were very apprehensive about even talking about who were actually inside the ships. A lot of UFO people in the 60s were very wary of the Hills for that reason, talking about the ships was one thing, but talking about the occupants was beyond the pale for them.

I like the one about how CitiBank is there to help you through these hard times. I heard another one that was basically a short interview with some financial company PR person about how feminism has impacted female investment girlbosses. The one from the Mental Floss guy about gardening is also pretty bad, but mainly just because I feel like I can actually hear the smirk in his voice.

I live in rural Michigan in an office where credibility works backwards and only stories from people you know personally carry any weight. Experts? You don't know them. They could be lying. Not like my Facebook friend, who is a doctor that I know personally through Facebook. This results in me having to sit there while someone repeats a FWD:FWD:FWD: email, claiming their friend said it. They haven't yet told me that they know a veteran who tackled an atheist professor, but it's only a matter of time. This is all to say that I have started referring to Robert as "my friend in Portland" to save time. Sorry about the troubling parasocial relationship, Robert.
