The Paranoid Strain
False Flags and Alex Jones
•
Call it Easter, call it April Fool’s…either way, we’ve got one helluva present for you. It’s the seventh episode of the Paranoid Strain. This time, we’re dealing with the concept of False Flags. And with the world’s most (in)famous purveyor of said concept, Alex Jones. Among the many surprising things you may learn in this episode is that, in spite of the fact that Mr. Jones is one million percent full of horseshit, false flags are actually a real thing. Just not the ones he talks about. Jones isn’t our only target, though. Many folks out there make hay out of the idea that the ever-nebulous “they” are always out there, plotting violent events that will pave the way for the public to give up their freedoms, so “they” can feast on our precious bodily fluids. Or something. Anyway, enjoy. As always, if you’ve got comments, suggestions, or really any... (read more at TheParanoidStrain.com)

53. New! Unidentified--Wait...you're saying Bob Lazar might be full of crap?
31:44||Season 6, Ep. 53Bob Lazar messes with the bull and gets the horns when he goes public with what he (claims that he) knows. We wrap up Lazar's own narration of his biography, and then we consult some other perspectives that throw his claims into sharp relief. In other words, we think his pants are just the most on-fire pants you've ever seen on a liar.
52. New! Unidentified--Bob gets a job. Lazar at Area 51
32:45||Season 6, Ep. 52Bob Lazar, mild mannered physicist(?) and former brothel owner(?) goes to work at the world's most secret location, goes inside an alien craft, takes his friends out to see test flights of UFOs, gets canned, and has two guys shoot at his car. Also, nearly all of this is probably made up, because Bob Lazar is full of crap.
51. New! Unidentified--UFOs over Russia, the Black Mailbox, and Meet Bob Lazar
34:46||Season 6, Ep. 51In case the Chads didn't bring enough bullshit about UFOs over Russia, we've got a few more tall tales about aliens from the Soviet Union. Then, we begin our miniseries on famous UFO "whistleblower" Bob Lazar, by way of the infamous Area 51 Black Mailbox. Enjoy.
50. New! Unidentified--The Soviet Chads spill the beans on Comrade Stalin's UFO plan
40:47||Season 6, Ep. 50In this episode, we uncover the roots of the Stalin Roswell UFO conspiracy with the help of two very stupid Chads and one human thumb named Joe Rogan. I know half of my audience are groaning. But for the other half,--you're welcome.
49. New! Unidentified--Annie Jacobsen's folly, and Art Bell takes on Area 51
01:18:16||Season 6, Ep. 49We continue the sad story of the very silly Stalin/Roswell story that the otherwise solid Annie Jacobsen decided was fit to print, and then we provide you with the minimum recommended daily requirement of Art Bell content, in this case specifically focused on the 51st Area. It's a long one, and we hope it's fun for you. See you in a couple of weeks with another epic episode, featuring some guests who may or may not be...stupid. See you then.
48. New! Unidentified--The strangest Area 51 theory you've ever heard
31:36||Season 6, Ep. 48As promised, here's Annie Jacobsen's super-weird story about the *real* reason Area 51 was founded. It's super dumb. But fascinating. But dumb. Seriously. Real, real dumb. I don't know how she possibly believed this crap. Enjoy!
New! Unidentified--Dirty bombs and dirty deeds at Area 51
32:10|We continue our exploration of the (actual) history of Area 51, this time emphasizing some of the truly awful, irresponsible, and dangerous stuff that went on there--not just nuclear tests, but a simulated dirty bomb explosion with radiation that should clear up in about fifty thousand years, plus an nauseating story about poisoning employees and then refusing to acknowledge said poisoning because the place where they worked doesn't even officially exist. Next time: one of the weirdest goddamned stories we've ever covered. And it's from an otherwise sensible book. I KNOW! Can't wait for you to hear about it.46. New! Unidentified--U2. No, not that one. The spy plane.
30:17||Season 6, Ep. 46Merry Christmas, or Happy Hannukah, or like whatever you're into, folks. This time, we talk about Area 51's original raison d'etre, the notorious U2 spy plane. We learn how and why this odd-looking thing was built, how it played into one of the earliest crises of the Cold War, and how its weird shape and unbelievable maximum altitude essentially made sightings of it as a truly unidentified flying object nearly inevitable.
45. New! Unidentified--Willem and I visit Area 51
36:47||Season 6, Ep. 45We put J Allen's story to bed, and begin our exploration of the most mysterious stretch of desert on earth, Area 51. This time, we learn what happened when show artist Willem UFO and I visited Rachel Nevada, the wide spot in the road nearest to the Groom Lake secret facility. More Area 51 in a couple of weeks!
