499: Deception Optics Of Kanye West (Members)

In Episode 499: Deception Optics Of Kanye West, we are joined by Sean and Joel from Kill The Mockingbirds podcast! Kill The Mockingbirds is the newest podcast to join the Merkel Media network, and they join Episode 499 to give a little flavor of what people can expect to hear on their show. With all the recent drama surrounding Kanye West in the mainstream media, there is an underlying storyline that isn't being given attention - one in which Kanye isn't accepted for who he says he is, but rather is a psy-op to push further dividing propaganda upon the people of the world. Joel and Sean believe that Kanye isn't who he says he is and the media knows he doesn't mean what he says, but they all are on the same page to make him out to be a villain. Is the media attempting to turn him into their "dark knight"in these times when the global citizenry is waking up to the brainwashing the media has been implementing into the public for decades?

493: Hunted By NORAD's Cloaked Soldiers (Members)

In Episode 493: Hunted By NORAD's Cloaked Soldiers we talk to Raymond who brings a very unique story to The Confessionals. He has been a prepper, avid gun collector, and outspoken about how he views the world since he was very young. Some would suggest that he fits a profile that certain groups and agencies would desire for setting up a "false flag" event around. That said, one day Raymond would get a call at work that would be paradigm-shifting for him. The bomb squad was raiding his apartment. Upon hearing this news, instead of thinking rationally about it, he panicked, grabbed his bugout bag, and fled to the woods. One would think that would be the highlight of his day, but instead, it might have been just the footnote of a grander conspiracy designed specifically for him. Shortly after he arrived, about 10 miles south of NORAD, he knew something was off. That suspicion was quickly confirmed as spent the remainder of the night running from cloaked entities shooting at him, escorting him throughout the forest. Could Raymond have been profiled and pushed to the woods intentionally for this encounter to happen intentionally to study and learn his reactions as a young prepper in an ever-growing extreme world?

In Episode 479: The Host and the Body Snatcher, we are joined by Andrew, who presents a unique topic of conversation: Andrew’s girlfriend has a multiple personality disorder, and I set up an interview to speak with them because the show frequently dives into demonic possession; in some cases, the characteristics of possession and multiple personality disorder seem to have many similarities.

In the dream, I was recording a video interview with a couple, when the woman started to manifest as a demon and crawl through the screen at me…

During this ordeal, he asked Blake and Josh to draw a pentagram on his forehead. As if that wasn't scary enough, after the event was over there was physical evidence left behind suggesting that hell had come to them.
