Grant Morrison & Chaos Magick (E296)

Liv, Julian, and Jakey Greco are determined to transform a once respected podcast into a gossip tabloid while Travis is on vacation. Liv brings us a handful of truly demented tales of infidelity from the right-wing sphere, including RFK Jr. and his pack of rambunctious dogs seducing a reporter sent to profile him, and NC LT. Governor Mark Robinson’s filthy, filthy posts on an adult forum about having an affair with his wife’s sister. It’s a horribly messy episode and Travis sends his apologies from wherever he is.

Guest writers Ben Clarkson and Matt Bors, the creators behind the graphic novel series “Justice Warriors”, take Julian and Jake on a twisted journey into the ideology of Grant Morrison. Morrison is responsible for the Invisibles and a seven-year Batman run considered by fans to be some of the best Batman comics written to date. He also claims that he’s been abducted by aliens in Kathmandu, and that we’re all giant centipedes weaving through time and space.

On September 9th, United States prosecutors announced the indictment and arrest of two leaders of the so-called “Terrogram Collective.” This is an online community of accelerationist neo-nazis which the DOJ called “a transnational terrorist group.” The indictment charges Dallas Humber, 34, of Elk Grove, California, and Matthew Allison, 37, of Boise, Idaho with 15 crimes. They include soliciting hate crimes, soliciting the murder of federal officials, and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. If convicted of all charges, Humber and Allison each face a maximum penalty of 220 years in prison. This group has produced propaganda that encourages their fellow white supremacists to venerate murderers and violently attack Black, immigrant, LGBT, and Jewish people. The screeds have directly inspired a series of ideologically motivated attacks around the world. These include a 2022 mass shooting at a gay bar in Slovakia; successful attacks on power infrastructure in North Carolina; and a stabbing spree in Turkey. To help better understand Terrorgram, the arrests, and the history of Dallas Humber we spoke to Abner Hauge and Michael Boorman from Left Coast Right Watch, the publication that first identified Humber as a driving force behind Terrorgram in March of last year.

A false smear about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio killing pets made its way from a fourth-hand Facebook rumor to Donald Trump’s lips during his televised debate with Kamala Harris. Despite the fact that there is no evidence for this claim and local authorities have explicitly denied that it’s true, Republicans have enthusiastically promoted the libel in order to demonize Haitians who are legally living and working in the town. This promotion includes AI generated images of anthropomorphic cats in tactical gear.  We discuss how this false claim spread, the background of recent anti-immigrant sentiment in JD Vance’s home state, a historical example of how American anti-immigrant conspiracy theories inspired deadly violence, and how the current smears are leading to innocent people being threatened right now.

This is the story of an April Fool’s Day joke that got wildly out of control. In 1991, a columnist for InfoWorld claimed that he learned of a hyper-advanced computer virus called “AF/91” that disabled Iraqi air defense systems during the first Gulf War. This virus had allegedly escaped Iraq and threatened every computer that used a windows-based graphical interface. The last line of the column revealed the truth: the story of the AF/91 virus was a fun bit of fiction for April 1st. But shortly afterwards, a journalist for U.S. News & World Report reported on a virus that sounded suspiciously similar to AF/91, based on confirmation from two government officials. Though the report was clearly based on the joke virus from InfoWorld, the publication refused to retract. So for more than a decade the story was repeated as if it were true in newspapers, magazines, and even in a report by a major think tank. The boys walk through the evolution of the strange tale of this virus hoax and speculate about why it spread so widely for so long.

Pentecostal “demon slayers” made a movie about the exorcisms they’ve been doing. More specifically, Greg Locke made a movie about how he graduated from QAnon promoter and COVID conspiracy theorist to self-aggrandizing general in the battle between God and Satan. We watched 2023’s ‘Come Out In Jesus Name’ and broke it down for our listeners. Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes: http://www.patreon.com/QAA Pick up new merch!

Demonic exorcism isn’t just a solid premise for horror films. It’s also the hook for an increasingly popular group of pentecostal pastors who leverage social media, spiritual warfare, and outrage to spread their message. Tennessee pastor Greg Locke is the most prominent member of a supergroup of evangelical ghostbusters who call themselves the “Demon Slayers.” Together, they cross promote videos of supposed exorcisms (which they call “deliverance”), host live events that attract thousands of believers hoping to rid themselves of infernal forces, and even produce feature-length films. Reporter Sam Kestenbaum embedded himself in Greg Locke’s operation, Locke Media, to see this algorithm-fuelled demon slaying first hand. He wrote about his experience in a longform piece for Harper’s Magazine and told us about personally witnessing a massive congregation shriek and convulse during a tent revival group exorcism.
