Historian of science, espionage, and the occult in the Cold War.
Check out my second article in the Children's Crusade series for Cold War hypnosis research, connections to the infamous Dr. Thomas Narut, and the most "Stanford in the 1970s" story I've ever heard: getting paid in avocados to run parapsychology experiments on a child prodigy.
Today, Getting Spooked resumes the saga of musical medium Belita Adair. Reid tracked down Hugh Macdonald, the parapsychologist who conducted her psychic trials at Stanford in summer 1975. He reveals connections to Philip Zimbardo, Navy mind control, & more. tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/the-childr...

Early in her career, Ruth Montgomery, journalist who popularized “walk-ins” — alien souls who take over someone’s body following trauma or an NDE, imbuing them with a cosmic mission & changing their personality — went undercover in the white supremacist cop-filled “Black Legion” to solve a murder.

If you missed the livestream I did with Emily on the Aristasia cult back in April, check it out before we stream part two next week: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThXk...
The Cult of Aristasia (Part 1) with Reid @seriations | Weird Reads with Emily Louise LIVE
My guest this week is the insightful and endlessly knowledgeable Reid, aka @seriations on Twitter. He is an independent historian of science, focusing on the intersection of espionage and the occult in the Cold War. From controversial figures like Ira Einhorn and James Shelby Downard, and topics like starseeds, UFOs and Atlantis, Reid's highly informative Twitter threads and podcast appearances are must-reads/listens. This week he joins me to explore the bizarre cult of Aristasia. Why were so-called "traditionalists" making violent video games? Why were they seemingly obsessed with corporal punishment? And how are they linked to fascism?

Fascinating article on Canada’s role in Anglo-American bioweapons research & production during the early Cold War. It’s criminal that many historians still push the lie that the US never used bioweapons during the invasion of Korea

Deputy PM & Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland must’ve known Hunka’s Waffen SS background and likely orchestrated this standing ovation herself. Just like she lied about her grandpa’s nazi collaboration despite knowing about it and saying she was “proud” of him. She’s an intergenerational fascist
