Allison Berry is a I.T. Expert who has been examining forums and posts, detecting patterns, bots, trends and grifts. She was also an old friend of Isaac Kappy. Isaac Kappy was an American actor. He had roles in the films Thor (2011) and Terminator Salvation (2009) and in the AMC television series Breaking Bad.In 2019, Kappy committed suicide by jumping off an overpass into oncoming traffic in Arizona. Two bystanders on the bridge attempted to prevent Kappy from throwing himself from the bridge but were unsuccessful. Around the time of his death, a lengthy note was posted on his Instagram account, in which he claimed to be the reincarnation of Judas Iscariot, while opening up about his drug and alcohol abuse. He also apologized to Jesus Christ, Donald Trump, and QAnon. The post was captioned, "Beware the man that has nothing to lose, for he has nothing to protect"He also became, perhaps inadvertently, the face of QAnon.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Joe Green returns to talk about the death of Jesse Jackson, the reaction to it and the memory of that picture taken of Jackson just after the assassination of Martin Luther King.Tin Foil Hat Not Included.Since the advent of Donald Trump's presidency, conspiracy theories have gone mainstream. However, lost among the arguments between the left and the right about which group of people is screwing them over, is the plain fact that some conspiracies are real and accepted. So why are conspiracy theories treated differently from other sorts of theories? Is it necessary to pretend that the Reagan administration never traded arms for hostages, or that the FBI wasn't attacking Black leaders under COINTELPRO, in order to avoid the "tinfoil hat" label? Why would it be necessary for labels at all? Are the often ridiculous assertions put forth by QANON believers characteristic of everyone who disagrees with the party line?TINFOIL HAT NOT INCLUDED attempts to rationally unpack what is meant by conspiracy, why conspiracy theorists are worse than other sorts of theorists, and whether all of this isn't simply the criminalization of dissent. After all, if the colonists hadn't believed that King George had been conspiring against them, we likely wouldn't have a United States.BookAbout Joe Green: I am the author of the books TINFOIL HAT NOT INCLUDED and DISSENTING VIEWS I & II. I am also the author of several zines for Microcosm Publishing, including INTRODUCTION TO THE JONESTOWN CONSPIRACY and THE CONSPIRACY FUN BOOK. I am also a playwright with several productions, including CLOWNTIME IS OVER, THE VAPOURS, and EINSTEIN'S WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING, which was nominated for Best New Play 2022 by Broadway World. I also served as the writer and co-producer of the film KING KILL 63, featuring Oliver Stone, Dick Gregory, and Richard Belzer.WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
