Grimerica Outlawed

Dr. Heather Lynn joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about the H Files, occult symbolism, archaeology, and what she calls “uncontrolled opposition.” The discussion moves from Heather’s claims of pressure and attempts to steer her work to broader questions about power, myth, and how culture shapes perception. Heather Lynn shares her perspective on the connections between archaeology, religion, media, and narrative control. Graham and Darren explore synchronicities, cataclysms, domestication, and whether the patterns we see are engineered, emergent, or both. Historian & cognitive...

#435 - Brad Lail - The Awakened Pod. Deep Spiritual Deception and Smith Mundt show art #435 - Brad Lail - The Awakened Pod. Deep Spiritual Deception and Smith Mundt

Grimerica Outlawed

We talk with Brad Lail of The Awakened Pod about his book-in-progress, plasma portals, and why he believes UFO disclosure is being framed through a controlled, materialist lens. The conversation also gets into spiritual awakening, demons versus angels, and how propaganda and algorithmic suppression shape what people are allowed to see. Brad brings a Christian worldview, a military and media background, and a strong thesis: the UFO conversation is incomplete unless it includes theology, energy, and spiritual warfare. The Awakened Podcast, hosted by Brad Lail, is dedicated to uncovering hidden...

Grimerica Outlawed

Energy prices, Canadian politics, propaganda tactics, and a stack of culture-war clips. It matters because the discussion keeps circling back to how narratives are built, repeated, and used to shape public belief around diesel, climate, medicine, and government power. We discuss Canadian and U.S. energy dependence, media framing, and a series of examples Darren and Graham use to argue that institutions are manufacturing consent through repetition, selective coverage, and bureaucratic theater. Key topics In this episode: Graham talks about working the fields and how combine harvesting demands...

Crrow777 joins Graham, Darren, and Rose for a wide-ranging conversation about solar observation, lunar oddities, UFO footage, and why he believes mainstream cosmology is built on bad assumptions. The discussion centers on what amateur observers can actually verify with their own equipment and why that matters more than official narratives. This episode is especially focused on the sun and moon as observable realities, with Crow walking through his telescope methods, his footage, and his broader view of consciousness, deception, and the coming era shift.

Discussing Canada’s fast-moving “investment summit” and what they see as the potential sell-off of Canadian infrastructure, airports, and public assets.

Grimerica Outlawed

This episode digs into a controversial theory about SARS-CoV-2 origins, focusing on documents, timelines, and lab-to-lab collaboration rather than the usual public narrative. Jim Haslam lays out his case for how the virus was engineered as part of animal vaccine research, while George Howard helps connect the investigative and public-transparency angles. The conversation also focuses on UNC records, Rocky Mountain Lab, Wuhan, and the broader issue of dual-use biodefense research.

Independent Journalist. Content Creator. Independent Reporting
To create more awareness about the homeless issues, mental health and addiction issues, and the misinformation about the people that live in their addiction.
Key topics
  • Drew shares his background growing up in BC, moving to Vancouver at 18, getting into nightlife and drugs, surviving severe addiction, and eventually getting sober.
  • He explains how back injuries, opioid prescriptions, and a bad COVID-era spiral pushed him into a new round of dependence before he chose to get clean again.
  • The discussion centers on Vancouver’s downtown east side, where Drew says harm reduction has become disconnected from recovery and public safety.
  • Drew argues that treatment in BC and Alberta often keeps people on methadone, Suboxone, hydromorphone, or fentanyl rather than pushing abstinence.
  • He contrasts Alberta’s approach with BC’s and says Alberta is at least less rigid about forcing people off harm-reduction medication in treatment.
  • The conversation turns to open-air drug markets, apps used by dealers, and cross-contamination in the cocaine and fentanyl supply.
  • Drew describes the hollowing out of downtown cores across BC cities such as Prince George, Vernon, Kelowna, Smithers, and others.
  • He claims NGOs and nonprofit networks have become a major money channel, especially around housing, homelessness, and Aboriginal-focused organizations.
  • The episode digs into how funding, grant writing, and identity-based programs can create systems that protect institutions more than they help addicts.
  • Drew makes a broad case for returning to tougher recovery standards, more consequences for crime, and a stronger role for 12-step programs and personal accountability.
