Consider this a test to weed out all the fair weather listeners- if you’re still here, you passed the trial! There will be cake served at the end of this podcast for all.

Everyone in my family and circle as far as I know, is doing pretty well, certainly nothing to report or to complain about. I trust and hope that wherever you are listening to this right now, you are well.

Nevermind but that might be foreshadowing… First up today I want to more or less introduce a topic that I really was only ever dimly aware of- a technology semi lost to history, but from the not very distant past as I see it. That technology is something out of a steampunk novel or fantasy film, or so I kind of thought, until I stumbled on a video where else but on YouTube (love it or hate it YT has the most content anywhere- don’t @ me). The subject I’m talking about is called Transport Gasifier technology. In short, cars, trucks, trains and boats/ships running on biomass fuels. Wood Powered vehicles. Coal, Charcoal, Wood Pellets, Even garbage (picturing the Doc stuffing rotten banana peels into the delorean’s flux capacitor or whatever it was at the beginning?ending of Back to the future II before flying off into space time once again…) -Gasifier Transport Technology GenGaz Lagunov, Excellent YT Subject matter expert on Gasifier tech. -My Side of the Mountain and the .

Should we experiment with it here on the Podcast? Hah, too late! Does all this eventually circle back around to our prior discussions about Deepfake videos? -Side note: There was a in OR, WA, and North Carolina - What early episodes to remaster for better audio?

Dead Internet Theory 10/16/2021

Dead Internet Theory Baked and Awake Podcast 121 October 14 2021 Algorithms, Bots, Corporate, Internet, Social Media, Content Drift, Link Rot, Internet Rot, Potemkin Village , Google Search results, Deepfakes, Misinformation, FB Whistleblower, The Dunbar Number, Social Engineering Theory, COINTELPRO, Forum Sliding, Gaslight culture, Straw Men, Memetic weaponization, Devils’ Advocate, Verifying the identity of someone on the internet is hard! Voice actors In politics and economics, a Potemkin village is any construction (literal or figurative) whose sole purpose is to provide an external façade to a country that is faring poorly, making people believe that the country is faring better. The term comes from stories of a fake portable village built by Grigory Potemkin, former lover of Empress Catherine II, solely to impress the Empress during her journey to Crimea in 1787. While modern historians agree that accounts of this portable village are exaggerated, the original story was that Potemkin erected phony portable settlements along the banks of the Dnieper River in order to impress the Russian Empress; the structures would be disassembled after she passed, and re-assembled farther along her route to be viewed again as if another example. Dead Internet Theory- what is it and why do we care? Hello, welcome back once again to the Baked and Awake Podcast. I know it’s been a few weeks since I read you all the story of The Smoky God, which if you missed it came back in September in two parts- but we are back together at the desk today to talk about a number of more contemporary matters, some of which I’m openly asking for your assistance with as regards fully understanding the matters described in the contents of one particular website I found recently while researching the initial topic, The Dead Internet Theory. Sounds awesome, doesn’t it? Dystopian even. I’m sure there’s an episode of Black Mirror about this out there somewhere, you know I never finished that particular anthology probably because it was all too believable to me, maybe. So, to explain a bit- the Dead Internet Theory seems to have come into existence just over the past year now online in forums like 4chan, reddit, and one much lesser known and truly unique community that I learned of called Agora Road, where threads discussing the extent of the theory have been written and heavily commented upon. Personally, I think I came across this on YouTube, where just a few but quite decent short pieces have been made on the topic, and I’ll leave links to them below- and those videos sent me off a researching, including to a referenced recent journalistic piece written on The Dead Internet that was printed in The Atlantic back in August. I’ll also be linking to the full article, but please be advised I believe The Atlantic only lets you read one or two articles per month without subscribing to the mag, so if you’ve just been bouncing off their website daily lately reading all their content like some kind of High falootin news addict, well you might just bump up against their paywall. In that case I guess listen to me for a few more minutes then go find those videos in the description or show notes. Long time listeners of the podcast will probably be well on their way already in terms of deducing what this is all about. This theory is right in line with topics we have been talking about for years now here on the podcast, right? Deepfakes, Artificial Intelligence, Pervasive Mass Surveillance and Social Engineering- Cybernetics, Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. Those are all homework assignments for new listeners by the way. Pretty much every phrase I just uttered there is a past show topic on one or more occasions, so feel free to dive into those archives because that’s what they’re there for, and every show I’ve ever produced includes a detailed show notes section with the resources I used to come up with the episode you’re listening to. And now, let’s have a look at the think piece from The Atlantic to get a clear picture of what this dreadfully believable theory is all about. The piece was I think very well written by its creator, Kaitlyn Tiffany, so let’s, shall we? Former Colleague of mine from LinkedIn: Last summer googles results after the 5 or 6 item totally turned to garbage link bait, ripped and sliced diced sentence fragments that had logical meaning to the index but only negative net value. Especally frustrating if it was a technical paper that had citations, references to it were always to some sort of site that was craled and had its ip address in the results. Its gotten better, but it was a dark hole there for a while. DEADGPK YT: I have only heard of it a few weeks ago as a full theory. Before there have been many things about AI being able to create things such as music, art and I believe there's an AI that even runs a YouTube channel. I have also looked into the digital influencers that have become popular or the years and they started around 2017 if i remember. While it's an interesting theory and definitely worth discussions, I'm not totally convinced it to the point of total AI take over. But it seems that it is definitely headed in that direction. Much of the interaction on social media seems manufactured to the point where you will see several accounts post the same exact thing. Bots are definitely used these days and it for the spread of misinformation imo. Anecdotal from Nicole: Yesterday Nicole told me that she saw a post (likely on IG) that said something about “Conservatives are now waiting for Progressive accounts on Twitter to promulgate tweets that they know to be false out on the platform, and only when they know the meme has gained sufficient traction to maybe get to trending, they mass report the posts therefore often causing many people to be either suspended or banned from the platform. I said “that sounds like Culture Hacking to me” What is Cult State? A Website I found while researching The Dead Internet. Help me understand what we’ve got a hold of here, and let me tell you what I’ve seen so far. This is the article you need to read. “Welcome to The Butterfly War” Pseudiom YT Channel and Dead Internet Theory Video: A White Paper cited early in Pseudiom’s excellent video is itself a treasure trove of insight, and dated back to 2001: Agora Road’s Thread about Dead Internet Join the Baked and Awake Discord: https://discord.gg/BKJ52JQ My Website: www.bakedandawake.com Email me: [email protected] Official Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/bakedandawake My Peertube Channel: https://peertube.co.uk/accounts/baked_and_awake/video-channels My LBRY Channel: https://lbry.tv/@BakedandAwake:3?r=51gFhcjfVTWDBrSitnYrno8DVNqw3nHU New 2021 Baked and Awake Podcast Theme Song by DJ Quod with original Viola Composition from Begin Scarseth.

Steve and Chong Together Again For The First Time 03/28/2021

Steve and Chong Together Again For The First Time NOTE: Original Video recording of this conversation lives on YouTube at the Baked and Awake Channel. Aired on 24 March 2021. Welcome. Listeners of the podcast who have been with me any length of time will be to some degree aware of my reasons behind doing this podcast and some of the different sources of inspiration that I drew upon when coming up with the concept of Baked and Awake. However, at a moment like this I find myself reflecting upon such matters, especially as I prepare to bring you today’s episode. I’m streaming live on youtube today, and bringing you all a very special guest, a bona fide celebrity, and in my opinion a man whose contributions to society will continue to be viewed as only growing in stature the longer he lives and continues to bring his unique comedy and social commentary to the world. Indeed, I’m just as confident that in the years and decades to come in the future, by his work and people’s memories- that the legacy of Tommy Chong and his life long artistic expression as one half of the legendary comedy duo Cheech and Chong- will be one that will stand tall and proud for devotees of the plant everywhere. I say without hyperbole that Cheech and Chong’s “Loveable Stoner” characters were and remain crucially important Archetypes in breaking down and putting to rest the antiquated notions of Cannabis Users being dangerous, unhinged psychopaths in the making. During the early 1970’s as Cheech and Chong released their first comedy albums to a public who probably didn’t suspect what they were about to hear- America and The World largely still regarded Pot Smokers in such dangerous terms as I have described. The manic characterization put forth in 1936’s Reefer Madness had taken a firm hold in the imaginations of members of Straight Laced Society, and had by then been relentlessly drilled into the psyche’s of every young person growing up during the Post War baby boom era. By lampooning themselves more honestly and rigorously than even their most ardent detractors, the Duo of Cheech and Chong in some ways snuck up on the world and made people love them despite their obvious passion for what many of them still thought of as “the Devil’s Lettuce”. As Cheech and Chong slowly became first household names, later verbs (“Let’s go Cheech and Chong out back, man”), and finally- adjectives (“Are you Cheeched, or what?”), everyone who had ever been exposed to their comedy had been infected, in a way like a virus- but perhaps more accurately like a meme. They did this in what, looking back at it now, it still looks like it was a vacuum. Name a more iconic weed culture duo from the 70’s, 80’s, or 90’s- I’ll wait. Cheech and Chong released their first album in 1971. I wasn’t born until 1974, so by the time I was old enough to understand WHO Cheech and Chong were, they were already so far past their initial rise in popularity that even as small kids who certainly had never even seen someone smoke anything other than a White Owl cigar- we nevertheless DID who Cheech and Chong were. As my generation grew up and eventually started to experiment with social drinking and finally smoking- we would, as if of one mind- perform credible sounding impressions of Chong’s Shaggy esque drawl, as well as Cheech marin’s Chicano bravado, quoting but much more often misquoting bits from their iconic movies as we would engage in the rituals of preparing to smoke, the act itself, and during the enjoyment of its effects. At after work gatherings someone loudly calls through a closed apartment door the stoner mating call of “Dave’s not here,man!”, to any knocks, or jumping in the car after a session, and before taking off out of the spot turning to their driving partner and giving them the old “Hey man, am I driving okay? To which a loyal friend could be relied upon to quickly rejoin “I think we’re parked, man”. Some members of the audience can be forgiven for thinking that line came from the latter day cult classic, Super Troopers- but I think it’s fair to say we know where the hilarious and creative people at Broken Lizard drew that little moment of inspiration from. Similarly, I will say that every comedian, musician, youtuber, or podcaster who has walked in Cheech and Chong’s footsteps over the past forty some years owes them a deep and direct debt of gratitude for forging a path that others have been making their careers on ever since. Tommy Chong has seen a lot in his time on earth and in the public eye, including the inside of a federal prison, where he spent 9 months serving a sentence for supposedly illegally shipping poisonous, spike covered, weapons grade bongs. This is something that I kid about, but only because we must laugh at some things, because not to laugh is to perhaps cry at the absurdity of a so called Justice System that makes such a thing even possible. Tommy himself will tell you not to pity him, that his time under incarceration was one of reflection and personal growth. He might also tell you that he met a few people inside that were serving much longer sentences than himself, and for far less damnable offenses. You’ve been subjected to this long introduction today because as i prepared for this show over the past couple of weeks, I realized that in a very real way, I owed a lot of my personal sense of pride at being a cannabis user and indeed my inspiration to stake my claim in the podcasting space as a cannabis associated personality and brand- that this came from Cheech and Chong teaching the whole damned closed minded world- that stoners are people, too. Personally, I can’t wait any longer to meet this man, and to hear more from him about the adventure that surely must be, being Tommy Chong. /episode/index/show/bakedandawake/id/18496226

Roanoke Island and the Questions Rap 10/31/2020

Roanoke Island and the Questions Rap Spooky Szn Special (Episode 110) October 31st 2020 Roanoke Island’s Lost Colony Today on Baked and Awake My First Conspiracy- The Lost English Colony of Roanoke Island. This is both a Ghost Story, therefore fitting for a show released on Halloween, and to my mind a compelling example of competing versions of history that can be found not only here, but in so many stories we have preserved and related as “facts” throughout human history. I’m about to share with you a whole bunch of very well documented details that I nevertheless doubt you’ve heard anywhere else. As I am indicating, this is a story many, if not most of you think you already know. I hope today to at least tell those of you in that camp a little bit more than you knew before, maybe a lot more- and for those fortunate enough to be learning about the Lost Colony for the first time today, I welcome you most warmly of all, and I promise to treat this opportunity of telling you this tale as the honor that in many ways it is. As always I’ll remind you that there are detailed show notes for every episode and I usually include just about every source I cite during the show so that you can perform your own research to your satisfaction should you care to investigate further. talktous@bakedandawake is the email to use if you want to get in touch and talk further about any questions you have, or for anything else, really. Now, to do this Roanoke story any justice whatsoever, we are gonna have to use my personal Temporal Panopticon, otherwise known as a 2018 Mac Mini with two thrift store displays and a just decent broadband internet connection. We will use this magic mirror in order to peer into the mists of time. And since this time machine is so powerful, we have the opportunity to not only travel back to 1587, the year of the founding of the famed Lost Colony, but indeed to two years earlier, when the first colony at Roanoke was founded, only to be abandoned in only about 9 months. But really, why would we stop there? Because even in 1585 there were more colonies and “expeditions” also known as “raiding parties” than I can easily count, so much so that we will come back to this point in a few minutes after we ever so briefly take a moment to remember, and to a small extent name, the existing inhabitants of the lands in question, which were at the time of this particular moment in history, already engaging in persistent, decades long campaigns of trading, raiding, and enslaving the indigenous people of North America for the enrichment of themselves and their European Patrons, and with an eye to completely acquiring said lands while subduing the People of those lands. This destiny and mission was laid out from just about Day One, as far as I can tell. This episode promises to be a long one. I’m talking plug in your phone, grab a cup of tea, roll something extra frosty up and probably pack a backup bowl because the ride is long and bumpy, and ends in a book from the 1970’s that I found on my own bookshelf that I just knew had to have a little tidbit for me. And that book did not disappoint. And now, away we go, starting with... Background on the context, or prologue: The Big Picture Context, or a Timeline of Pre European Civilizations of North America The Timeline of Events leading up to the story itself: Aw shit- you mean there were TWO Roanoke Colonies?

Different Types of Preppers and You 09/26/2020

Different Types of Preppers and You Baked and Awake Episode 109 September 21 2020 The Prepping Issue Terms: Prepping, Survivalism, Bushcraft, Herbalist, Homesteading, Lost Ways of Living Types of Preppers: CDC and FEMA Emergency Prep Types aka “Straights”, Self Professed Practical Preppers- generally normal types who for some reason have the preparedness mindset. Some of these people might come from families with strong ancestral memories of times like The Great Depression or other adversity, and generally do not present as being “Preppers” but more of a pragmatic, well stocked household. Full On Preppers- These are your Red Greens and Dale Gribbles of the world. This type of prepper is a little more upfront about their lifestyle, and may selectively share tips or theories with neighbors they trust, as they seek to feel out who their SHTF community members will be. Red and Dale still live in the normal suburban neighborhood.

Holy Quantum Marijuana, Batman! 07/29/2020

Holy Quantum Marijuana, Batman! Baked and Awake Episode 107? July 29th 2020 Intro: Greetings- We smoke weed on this podcast. If you don’t smoke weed, or are out of weed, press stop now and go fix your problems before coming back here to listen. Personal updates: The Family Corona Garden is booming, we have harvested over 40lbs of onions and over 50lbs of potatoes already, as well as dozens of zucchini, and a few early cucumbers, radishes, carrots and artichokes. Next up for the garden will be the Tomato explosion, as we have many (many!) tomato plants this season. We are also currently resetting the newly opened up potato bed for a fall/winter planting of garlic and some brassicas (cabbage-kale family) that will overwinter and be harvested in the spring. For those of you following along and gardening yourselves- although it seems late in the year, and you’re probably thinking anything you put in the ground now might get torched by the harsh sun of peak summer- if you can keep your babies covered up with some shade cloth or netting of some kind, and moisten that soil, you can set yourself up even now for both that winter crop, and a few fast growing fall crops that you can be enjoying up through october and november, even in more temperate climates like the Pacific Northwest. Some of the best of these late season fast growers include spinach, lettuces, swiss chard, broccoli, and radishes. Get out there and do some gardening I swear I promise I really vow that you won’t be sorry you did. In Podcast Survey: Drop a comment on the youtube upload of this podcast if you want to hear about/learn about Emergency Preparedness more on Baked and Awake. We are very into the prepper lifestyle here in my family, and while I often mention that I have done very little prepper specific content up to this point in time, but it’s something I’m more than up for talking more about- specifically the things we are doing or have tried in the past and how we feel they have worked for us so far. So yeah- mosey on over to YouTube, which for all its faults still gives me some of the best analytics I have on my audience etc, and the comments are extremely visible and easy for me to respond to there.

This. IS. SPARTAAAA!!! 06/13/2020

Baked and Andreas Session One 05/26/2020

Baked and Andreas Session One Source video for conversation here: Andreas Xirtus is one of my favorite Youtube Researchers and Content Creators. His areas of interest are far ranging and always very interesting to say the least. With a strong focus on the mysteries of The Old World and the purported to be “Lost” Civilization of Grand Tartaria, he spends a lot of time on questions I often grapple with in my research for the podcast. Andreas’ videos shine through his analysis of things like Popular Culture, particularly visual media like TV, Film, and animation in particular- through a lens of Tartarian Discernment, and frequently have me and many members of his audience scratching our heads and wondering where this affinity for finding and elucidating coded information comes from in a man so relatively young. Recently Andreas re-uploaded an older video of his to a backup youtube channel, and as the notification came through I decided it was a good time to go back and watch this material again, as a review. The video was titled 001 History Revised Xirtus Tartaria Documentary, and I recalled it to have been a nice overview of most of the salient points that constitute the Tartarian Civilization Puzzle. As I sat there enjoying the material all over again, I quickly realized that I wanted to use this video and it’s story as the basis for a conversation with Andreas, where I could ask him to expand on a few of the things in the video itself. What follows will be a recording of this conversation. Andreas and I have been connected online for about a year now, and chat frequently in his Brain Trust of sorts- the Xirtus Tartary Discord server- where much lively debate takes place among it’s hundreds of members daily, but I thought it was high time we had him on here on Baked and Awake for an expansive conversation about all things Tartarian. Maybe I’ll even let Andreas tell us about some other things he finds fascinating- but NOT until we get to the bottom of this Tartary thing first! For those of you for whom this topic is completely new- fear not, because we are about to take you through enough of the high points in the story to either satisfy, or pique your interest to the point that you’ll want to investigate further. If the latter is the case, I humbly suggest that you look into my back catalog for episodes about Grand Tartaria, The Mud Flood, and The General Crisis of the Seventeenth Century, for starters. The Video opens by showing an association between North American Natives (American Indians) and the Southern Confederacy. Next, as a dash of cold water in the face, you ask the viewer to suspend their own beliefs and biases for the duration of the presentation. (I appreciate this) Lies are Obscured truth: Symbols and words that appear to be pejorative or negative but are in fact Positive- Primitive, Primal, Primordial, Prime Meridian, Prime Radical, Prime The Magna Carta (What’s the Columbus Cylinder?)- Signed under duress, therefore an invalid contract. Did History record this story incorrectly? Perhaps even backwards? A nod to Gnostic Occult Practices in the form of a reference to Kaneh Bosom or the Holy Oil Christ would have been Anointed with. The Viking - Scythian Connection- Who taught who what exactly? Was this relationship equitable for both sides? Scott Onstott: Secrets in Plain Sight? Propellor symbol rehabilitation aside for just a moment- can you expand upon the relationship between Propellers and Star Fortifications aka Bastion Forts? Are you indicating here that ancient civilizations had the power of flight? And if so, was this form of air transportation traditional in the sense that an ICE powered a propellor that pulled or pushed a vehicle through the atmosphere? If so- how does that fit with your own separate musings on, as you referred to it- Solid State Flight tech? For the sake of conversation I’ll note here that we could be referring to Balloons, Zeppelins, Blimps, and more unusual storybook vehicles such as flying broomsticks or magic carpets? Is the propeller symbol perhaps a Portal? Origins of Nations Model: The Trapezoid Scheme- What a great mental picture this draws! Let’s talk about how this has played out in history a little. Conformational Bias aka “Trust Me I’m an Engineer” syndrome. Joseph Smith, The Latter Day Saints, and the American West. The Irish Potato Famine- Monocrop disaster or engineered extermination? Who really won The American Civil War? (History is written by the Victors) The 13th Amendment.

Inspired by Bones and Tubs and their episode about this topic from 2019. Listen to them here: Correction: Re: HB2546 aka - Listener and supporter Derek K commented on my YT channel that unfortunately my belief that the cited study used to build the State’s case against MJ concentrates didn’t use data about Cannabis cartridges was incorrect. Apparently this study was about those Hot Dog water carts that have been circulating on the black market in non legal states. Thanks to Derek for keeping me honest, and for always listening to the show! PS- although I heard somewhere that this bill was defeated, a cursory investigation over at the Olympia website shows the bill is still in committee. Meaning, as far as I’m concerned- this battle isn’t over yet.

Indica and Sativa- These words don't mean what you think they mean! 02/27/2020

Indica and Sativa- These words don't mean what you think they mean! Baked and Awake Episode 099 February 27 2020 -SMOKING TEMPLE BALL HASHISH Purchased at Evergreen Market Renton. Asked for Bubble Hash, received Temple Ball (oops) +$10 Differential for the temple ball! Either one would be almost my first time ever being exposed to these types of hash, but is the Temple Ball worth the extra money? What even IS a “Temple Ball?” We’ll find out. I have been inspired by the content of one Frenchy Cannoli for a while now and if you haven’t already heard of him he’s a man known for traveling and teaching the history and methods of making traditional cannabis hashish. Frenchy’s instagram is full of well candid yet powerful videos freely sharing his techniques for creating beautiful hash literally anywhere and with no special tools whatsoever, unless you count a bottle filled with hot water and some potholders “special tools”. Frenchy rolls a Temple Ball, 3 min video, here: -INDICA AND SATIVA, TIME TO EVOLVE These labels are entirely meaningless. Segment inspired by a recent vlog by Todd P McCormick (insta: ) Todd is a veteran Cannabis advocate and educator from what I gather, with a lot more time in Cannabis media including print, than myself. I believe I’ve seen him more than once on Bubbleman’s back when I wouldn’t miss an edition of that amazing long running Youtube/Pod/Vlog/Panel Discussion show. Check out Todd’s IG where he’s active, and posts some great stuff that you’re sure to find edifying. Todd’s salient points in this recent talk about Indica and Sativa and how badly they’re being relied upon to describe the entire world of cannabis centered on Carl Linnaeus, American Vets encountering what they would come to call “Indica” in India and Afghanistan, etc, and the major changes that brought to existing cultivars already in play in North America at the time as they brought these strains home to breed with the existing longer flowering tropical landrace strains that though popular, struggled to thrive outdoors here. We use Indica and Sativa as labels that are supposed to map to an expected type of high. The problem of course is that there are a number of important factors that actually contribute to what the flower you’re smoking, and the concentrates made from it, are going to deliver in terms of experience. These range from inputs like what nutrition especially sugars was the plant fed during its life, how early or late the plant was harvested, and importantly, how effectively and gently was the plant dried and “cured” before being consumed. Finally, time on the shelf after the cure is complete will continue to affect the taste and effects of the flower, with the intensity of the high deteriorating over time but not before becoming increasingly tranquilizing in it’s presentation, even as overall potency slowly declines. This is due to THC in the dried plant eventually sort of breaking down and becoming a compound known as CBG -DABPOCALYPSE UPDATE HB2546 still in committee () -GARDEN UPDATE 2020 microgreens and veggie starts Check out my new official Web Store today where your secure purchases directly support the show, while shopping through online retailers you already trust: https://bakedandawake.com/the-shop DON’T CLICK THIS LINK: https://bit.ly/36towQy My Website: www.bakedandawake.com Email me: [email protected] Official Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/bakedandawake My Peertube Channel: https://peertube.co.uk/accounts/baked_and_awake/video-channels Twitter: https://twitter.com/stevecominski Insta: https://www.instagram.com/baked_and_awake/ Episode ambient Music generously provided by Antti Luode (http://www.soundclick.com/AnttiLuode),http://www.soundclick.com/_mobileFrame.cfm?bandID=1277008 Additional Music Provided with permission by Northwest Grab aka https://summoningsickness.bandcamp.com Baked and Awake Discord: https://discord.gg/BKJ52JQ /episode/index/show/bakedandawake/id/13331162
