Crypto Crime Season Has Begun feat Molly White (E309)

$TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins compete with $FART, $ASS and $TITS for attention in a crypto industry defined by scams, grifts and financial malfeasance. We cover the intersection of politics with crypto and dive into some of the less savory tokens on pump dot fun, a website where “degens” go to mint, pump and inevitably dump thousands of meme coins every single day. Our guest is Molly White, a journalist, researcher and critic of the crypto and tech industries.

What if the Matrix really is a documentary? In this episode, Jake and Brad force Liv Agar to stare at a laser beam to find out what’s, like, really real. This is the story of how a former IDF soldier turned parkour enthusiast and American Ninja Warrior has claimed to have discovered “irrefutable proof” that we’re all living in a simulation. All you need is a little DMT, a laser, and an open mind to see the true code of our reality (which suspiciously looks exactly like the code from “The Matrix”.)

LA is going through one of the most destructive natural disasters in its history. So naturally there is a lot of nonsense online about the secret purpose of the blazes. To discuss, we talk to journalist and climate refugee Mike Rothschild. The author of Jewish Space Lasers is one of many people who lost their homes to the Eaton fire. We chat about what it’s like to evacuate in order to escape a fast-spreading fire, climate change, and some of the more popular ways that online conspiracists are speculating about the causes of the conflagration.

The richest man in the world cannot catch a break from these four podcast hosts. Liv breaks down the story of Adrian Dittman, a guy on the internet who idolized Elon Musk so severely that people began to mistake them for one another. In the second half of the episode, we have to install a new layer of thermal paste on Julian’s brain after learning about Elon pretending to have played 1000’s of hours of an early access, isometric, role playing video game. The real gamers found out… and they’re mad. Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes: https://patreon.com/qaa Editing by Corey Klotz. Theme by Nick Sena.

2025 is off to an absolutely nightmarish start as the boys huddle around the microphones and try to process not only the ongoing historical LA wildfires that have destroyed over 12,000 structures and killed at least 24 people, but also the horrific content they had originally planned: The domestic terrorist attacks that were committed on New Years Day in New Orleans and Las Vegas. If that somehow wasn’t enough, they’ll also be discussing the recent fatal police shooting of the infamous “pizzagate” gunman. We cover it all in our first main episode of 2025: domestic terrorism, ecological disaster, and even war crimes. Grim! Our guest is Mike Prysner of the podcast Eyes Left, the documentary Gaza Fights for Freedom, and the QAA episodes on Tulsi Gabbard.

What 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 this current hell.

Annie Kelly brings Jake, Julian, and Travis tales of the lesser known figures of the European witch hunts during the early modern period: the skeptics who openly doubted that every accused woman was actually a witch. At the time, it was common for village communities in England, Spain, and France to accuse local women of cursing cows and similar satanic mischief. But a handful of men didn’t believe the mainstream belief that witchcraft was widespread. Doubts were raised by the Spanish royal physician Andrés Fernández de Laguna, the English gentleman Reginald Scot, and the inquisitor Alonso de Salazar Frías. Salazar even established rules on investigating witchcraft that set a high standard of proof. This subsequently saved an untold number of accused witches from being hanged or burned at the stake. What can all of this tell us about the modern right’s use of the language of demonology to describe their enemies? Listen to get exclusive analysis from the National Baby. To get a better background on the history of witch hunting, Annie interviewed Professor Marion Gibson from the University of Exeter, and author of the book Witchcraft: A History in 13 Trials.

Brian Thompson, the CEO of the health insurance company UnitedHealthcare, was shot and killed in Midtown Manhattan on December 4th. Five days later, police arrested Luigi Mangione as a suspect in the killing at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Liv, Julian, and Travis discuss the ideological waters that Magione swam in and how this incident proves that everyone is an online investigator. Plus we explore the reaction to the killing, which includes a surprising amount of AO3 fan fiction. Finally, we break down the popular claim that there’s a special connection between the killing and the number 286, which isn’t as impressive when closely examined.

Was Dr. Who right when he said military intelligence is a contradiction in terms? Brad Abrahams is back (with Liv, Jake, and Travis) with the story of the “Gulf Breeze 6”, in which six military intelligence officers with top-secret clearance went AWOL from one of Europe’s largest Cold War bases in 1990. Their reason? A Ouija board told them to. Convinced they were on a divine mission to stop Armageddon, they fled to Florida, believing Jesus (piloting a UFO) would meet them for the rapture. Even more bizarre than that last sentence was the punishment meted out to them. Were they part of an end-of-the-world cult? Did figures like Bob Dole and George Bush intervene on their behalf? This insane tale is a true mystery to this day, as the trail has gone cold since its explosion in the early ‘90s news cycle. At the end of the episode, we’re joined by Tanner Boyle of the ‘Getting Spooked’ newsletter to dive deeper into the Gulf Breeze 6 mystery, and explore whether any parapolitical shenanigans were at play.

Hulk Hogan as Santa Claus in 1996. Jake has found the perfect movie to torture Julian and Liv with. Somehow he finds an ally in Travis. Merry Christmas to the sickos.
