Shamanic Freedom Radio

In this episode, Mr Lens presents from a forest at the base of a fallen tree. It all starts with Schrödinger’s cat and goes into quantum ridiculousness as a satire on the barmy notions found in both the mainstream and alternative media. Subjects include the existence/non existence of God and the problems of dogma in all forms of fundamentalism including that of materialism as well as religion. Examples include Dawkins style science claiming to have disproven God’s existence, why Ramadan couldn’t be celebrated in Tromsø, Norway during summer Solstice because you’d starve to death, why Summer Solstice can’t be celebrated on the equator, and other examples of relativism which make the dogmatic absolutism of religions unworkable if said religions are exported to different parts of the Earth, how academic climate scientists and historians can’t talk to each other about climate change because they only stick to their specialist subjects, and many more things in a random tangent style.

This episode starts with a comedy sketch involving falling off the flat Earth and being teleported to safety. No spoilers! After a song break this gives way to a roamcast in a forest, where the subject of weaponised perception management is discussed. Just as Mr Lens uses sound effects to blur the lines between real and unreal, he theorises that the 911/JFK documentaries are being copied by people who are trying to convince us that lies are true, whether they be about the Earth being flat, satellites not existing or the International Space station not being real. Other subjects include how Tolkein’s different subspecies in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings - namely the Elves, Men, Wizards, Dwarves and Hobbits - are an analogue for Carl Jung’s archetypes, and that maybe Tolkein and Jung were tapping into the same phenomena via different disciplines. He elaborates on Thomas Sheridan’s theory about how the Orcs represent the toxicity which has infected the alternative/truth movement, and compares this to Paul Levy’s Wetiko phenomenon. As the program comes to a close, Mr Lens urges the grounded and nice people who listen to podcast to create their own media, as ‘we need more good people making this type of media’.

In this episode Mr Lens interviews Neil Sanders. Before the interview starts, Mr Lens reports the latest news from the podsphere. As veteran listeners of Shamanic Freedom Radio will be aware, Jan Irvin has not been the nicest of people, and this week he made the mistake of upsetting Thomas Sheridan who responded by offering to fight him. As Jan probably has no intention of taking up the offer, Mr Lens decided to make that match a reality in comedy sketch form. After the sketch, the interview with Neil Sanders commences. Many topics are covered including the use of LSD as a manipulation tool and Timothy Leary’s connection to the CIA, the use of PR, advertising and Marketing and their strategies of manipulating your perception and sense of reality, the use of weasel words and vague third party advocacy when advertising products, how Facebook lowers your self esteem when juxtaposed against people who appear to be living more exciting lives, and much more. Join Shamanic Freedom Radio next time which will be presented from the rim of the Flat Earth! Music: Gong - Master Builder - Dedicated to the memory of Daevid Allen, who died a week before this podcast, aged 77.

In this Roamcast on location from Avebury and Glastonbury, the two main energy vortices of England’s south west, Mr Lens captures a moment when he is in a state of enchantment, and attempts to talk about this in a matter-of-fact way rather than in the manner of a flakey evangelist. In the first part, on the way from Avebury to Windmill Hill, Mr Lens discusses the fears in the deepest recesses of our subconscious minds which were put there by our lives, and how facing these dark inner realms can prevent darkness from coming into the physical/material world. In the second part, on the way from Gog and Magog to the foot of the Tor in Glastonbury, he contemplates this feeling of enchantment, bliss, or spiritual lightness, and how if it could be possible to come up with simple language to create a universal reference so as to conceptualise this phenomenon without it having to take the form of ideology or evangelism, so that we could remember how to get back to this state in a simple way that will not cause us to lose our grounding.

In this episode, Mr Lens rips apart the latest fad of the Troof Movement, the notion that the Earth is flat, and that we have to 'wake up' if we even consider suggesting that it isn't. He does so by scaling the Earth down to a small football with a circumference of 25 inches so that he can explain on this scaled down Earth how high aeroplanes would be, how far the sea level horizon would be, and of course how tall he himself would be in nanometres. He then gets a questionnaire which has been copied and pasted by Flat Earth fundamentalists and goes into deep detail about why this notion is a complete load of bunk.

In this episode, Mr Lens treads on the rather dodgy ground of climate change scepticism. He starts by pointing out that although he is against fracking, dumping nuclear waste, deforestation, over fishing and other things that damage our ecology, nevertheless he is sceptical about the official version of climate change peddled by the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) on behalf of the United Nations. He talks about how the Medieval Warm Period has been doctored out of the Earth’s temperature history to make this side of the 20th Century look disproportionately warmer than the last millennium, and how cosmic ray and solar activity is more consistent with warming and cooling than CO2 is, and asks if this dubious pseudoscience is being peddled with a malevolent agenda to bring in draconian measures, wouldn’t you want to know?

In this episode, Mr Lens starts by admitting not only has he been brainwashed, but he’s been mind controlled as well, and maybe you have been too. This admission is his ‘Alcoholics Anonymous’ strategy to admit to oneself that he is not above these systems of control. This conveniently segues into the simple act of changing one’s language in order to reverse engineer this phenomenon by singling out the phrase ‘Common Purpose’, playing a clip by Brian Gerrish talking about common sense, and Brian May talking about common decency. As the programme approaches the end, Mr Lens plays a clip by his old friend Carlita, who used to present ‘Sailing Beyond Knowledge’ podcast, about ecocide and the oil industry threatening keystone species which affect the ecosystem, from the perspective of a person who acknowledges ecocide, but is sceptical about the official version of climate change.

In this episode, Mr Lens contemplates on whether or not he has been brainwashed by alternative media, and acquired some sort of cognitive inflexibility and a “piggy in the middle” swaying as his mind has been taken by the extreme opinionatedness of alternative media and its notions. We take it for granted that we are resistant to the manipulations of the mainstream, but are we really free from the effects of brainwashing in the alternative too? This is Mr Lens at his most confrontational, recalcitrant, cynical, satirical and sarcastic as he rips apart the foibles of alternative media, including his own. Music: Queen - The Prophet’s Song

In this return to the podsphere after a few months break, Mr Lens appears at home, and on location in Portugal. He discusses his sound engineering aspirations as a revolutionary act of creativity, and how that would be better for the soul than talking about conspiracies on the internet all the time, and demonstrates this by playing one of his own songs (see tracklist below).Also in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdu shootings in Paris, he contemplates whether the fixed ideological positions of those who always assume something is an ‘inside job’ vs those that unconditionally believe only the official stories, to be a think tank constructed psy op in itself, and how fence sitting is often the wisest (and often most stigmatised) thing to do. Finally he contemplates whether the alternative media is now a worse place for propaganda than the mainstream, as we can easily see through the mainstreams techniques, but the alternative media is much more insidious and stealthy.

In this roamcast Mr Lens goes for a walk on a cold sunny morning, and announces that he will taking a break from podcasting for a while in order to focus on more creative ventures. Topics include how he has taken a break from Facebook and further analysis of its corrosive, somewhat mind controlling effects, the spiral arm of the galaxy and galactic centre in the night sky, outsourcing heavy industry to space, asteroid mining and more.

In this episode Mr Lens welcomes Thomas Sheridan back to the programme for the second time this year. Many topics are covered including possible escalation to world war, the Danzig effect, mental illness in the alternative movement, psychic attacks, class divides, anti immigration Americans being shouted down by an American native, strange cults plagiarising ancient cultures, the misinterpretation of the Sile Na Gig and the Green man by new agers, reconnecting with powerful archetypes, how people shouldn’t be spiritual until they get to their 30’s, students brainwashed by political agendas such as Socialist Worker, the dangers of not acknowledging the shadow side of our culture, and much more.

In this episode, Mr Lens plays a recording of Vandana Shiva from a lecture at Dartington hall, recorded on October 7, 2014. The subject of the talk is GMOs. As Vandana says, GMO stands for “God Move Over”. Topics include how the industry is trying to get GMOs into England next, and then from England to Europe, and from Europe to the rest of the world. Topics include how agrochemicals are the old war industry reinvented, the patenting of seeds via genetic engineering and fraudulent intellectual property rights to life because inserting a gene into a plant doesn’t create the plant itself, using GM to artificially create patented GMO bananas which already exist, thus stealing from nature or other culture’s selective breeding, how they wish to create a system of total control of life on Earth, farmers being penalised for collecting seeds, pest epidemics caused by GMOs which were supposed to be pest resistant, leading to more pesticides being used instead, Indian Farmer suicides escalating since Monsanto, and much more.

In this episode, Mr Lens interviews Danny Bamping of the UK based NO-TA Party. Highlighting the corruption, deception and elitism innate in the current political and monetary systems, Danny puts forward pioneering ideas such as the abolition of taxes including income tax, VAT, council tax and the BBC TV licence. Other topics include the 2005 criminalisation of parties named “None of the Above” and “Put your cross here”, Scotland’s suspicious “No” outcome in the recent referendum, mortgages as fictions, Bitcoin and other alternative monetary systems such as TAMS, codifying the British constitution, decriminalisation of cannabis, Forvik island in the Shetlands (which has declared itself independent of the UK government), financial and political sovereignty, and much more. Based on the should be freedom to declare a vote of no confidence, NO-TA also aims to prevent parties like UKIP getting into office due to public disillusionment. They are looking for people with no affiliation with secret societies to join them. Music: Henry Mancini - The Pink Panther Theme

In this episode, Mr Lens interviews Danielle La Verite, famous for her sweary and outspoken critiques of MPs, Royals and celebrities. Before the interview, Mr Lens plays a recent inflammatory clip at the UN by the Wrong Dishourable David Cameron, puppet prime minister of the Divided Kingdom of Not-So-Great-Anymore Britain, in which he depicts people who don’t buy into the official version of 911 and 7/7 as “non violent extremists who are just as dangerous as ISIS terrorists”. During the interview with Danielle, many things are discussed including Russell Brand being a “total inside job”, sanitised PC language vs swearing and speaking like real people, serial killers as a pay-op and social engineering phenomenon, and how terrorism is being used as the contemporary equivalent, the problems of the EU and how it is a practice run for the New World Order, doing one’s on thing and saying no rather than joining movements, English caste/class division, MP’s expenses and banker fraud, sanctions on the poor, and much more. After the interview, a counter clip to the Cameron speech by Terence McKenna adds perspective to the picture. Music: Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up
