What is National Security Presidential Memorandum‑7 (NSPM‑7)? And why is it causing major law firms to prepare their clients for possible politically motivated governmental probes? Our guest Ken Klippenstein explains the national security directive on “domestic terrorism” and how it serves to chill speech, harass Trump’s political opponents, and broaden the justifications for federal investigations. Plus we unpack Trump promoting medbeds, Kash Patel’s new challenge coin, and the Q Shaman’s multi trillion dollar lawsuit in which he declares himself the “first legal President of the New Constitutional Republic of the United States Of America.” Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes: patreon.com/qaa Ken Klippenstein https://x.com/kenklippenstein Subscribe to Ken’s Newsletter https://www.kenklippenstein.com/ Trump’s NSPM-7 Labels Common Beliefs As Terrorism “Indicators” https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nspm-7-labels-common-beliefs Check out our new podcast series network Cursed Media and binge the entirety of our new show Science in Transition by Liv Agar and Spencer Barrows: https://cursedmedia.net Editing by Corey Klotz.

In the beginning was the Word. In this case, the “word” is spoken by a velvet-voiced radio host revealing that the elites are poisoning Grandma, or a Professor turned board game millionaire’s blog post declaring feminism a satanic plot. Their words, carried over early websites and late-night radio, seeded the ideas that festered into the culture wars and extremist conspiracy content of today. Brad is back to tell the stranger-than-fiction stories of Henry and Jeff — early architects of the conspiratorial internet, who are now locked in the kind of bitter, messy feud only boomers can wage.

The crew chats about the James Comey indictment, Trump's executive order declaring antifa "domestic terrorists," attempts to rewrite the history of January 6th, and why some young men continue to be drawn towards the message of Andrew Tate.

Megastar Taylor Swift and three time Super Bowl champion NFL tight end Travis Kelce announced their engagement in one of the most-liked Instagram posts of all time. Naturally, we wondered how the Gaylor community is handling the news. Back in premium episode 235, Liv introduced us to the Taylor Swift fans who believe that the megastar is secretly queer and closeted, and that she has hinted at this through lyrics, visuals, timing, and public friendships. On this episode Travis, Liv, Jake and Julian examine reactions from the community, ranging from acceptance, denial, bewilderment, and rage. Plus, Jake treats us to a story about secret occult practices and the magical year of 1989.

What is QAnon today, nearly eight years after the first Q drop? In Marc-André-Argentio’s new book QAnon: From Conspiracy Theory to New Religious Movement he argues that QAnon is best understood as a “hyper-real religion.” Even years after the Q drops stopped, QAnon exists as a lived religious practice, where true believers are commissioned to redpill the normies and posting is a rite. The book demonstrates that the movement has gone through three stages of existence: proto-QAnon, canonical-QAnon, and apocryphal-QAnon. Travis and Jake chat with Marc-André about his book and how it builds on other books that cover the movement.

In the cold and indifferent void of space, an interstellar object the size of Manhattan rushes towards our tiny planet. This coming November, Earth may be invaded by an advanced Extraterrestrial civilization, or it might just be a passing comet named 3I/Atlas. In Brad’s belated return to the pod, he and Jake brace our listeners for the imminent attack, with only Travis as humanity's last rational hope. With urgent warnings from an unlikely cadre of blind Bulgarian prophets, Christian doomsday accounts, and esteemed Harvard astrophysicists, could there be something more than conspiracy slop to this story? Probably not… but just in case, board the QAA mothership for Jake and Brad’s Excellent Invasion.

There isn’t yet a tariff on conspiracist narratives. So former Daily Wire podcaster Candace Owens imported one from France. Which is why she now finds herself the subject of a serious lawsuit filed by the French President Emmanuel Macron and the First Lady Brigitte Macron. Owens used Instagram influencer aesthetics to recycle a 2021 theory for American audiences that was originally promoted by a French spiritual medium and spread through “Yellow Vest” and antivax networks. For some reason, Owens wasn’t satisfied with the genuinely odd history of the Macrons’ relationship (they met when Brigitte was married with children and Emmanuel was just 14, despite most American sources claiming they met when he was 15.) Instead she picked up the convoluted conspiracy theory that Brigitte is really her brother Jean-Michel Trogneux who became a trans woman and proceeded to assist with turning Emmanuel into an MKULTRA-controlled “Manchurian Candidate.” In Owen’s ludicrous tale, the Macrons then killed anyone who started asking questions about Brigitte’s past, Clinton-body-count style. But since this nonsense is powered by crude bigotry rather than any investigatory impulse, the evidence is unsurprisingly weak. Owens’ method of argumentation involves ignoring the fact that Jean-Michel Trogneux is clearly alive and a separate person, looking at real photos and declaring them fake, and birthday numerology. Travis, Jake, and Julian unpack Owens’ past, the history of the conspiracy theory, how she promoted it through the 8-part series “Becoming Brigitte,” and the lawsuit that now threatens her independent media empire.

A very special episode where we explore Travis’ views on Jake’s takes. With Julian waylaid by the flu, Jake has cooked up a ‘tasting menu’ featuring his current doomscrolling obsessions, to serve to Travis. With no producer at the helm, Jake discusses Ghostbusters fan films, Airsoft, and tells one or two stories for the second or third time on the podcast. Travis also has views on the two hundred million dollar ‘ballroom’ planned for the White House.

This week we are joined by Dr.  Olivier Jutel, a lecturer in the Department of Media, Film & Communication at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. His scholarly focus is in communication studies and media theory, particularly around populism, digital media, political economy, and critical theory. Travis and Julian chat with Olivier about his iconoclastic take on the paradigms that have dominated U.S. technology and communications policy since 2016. Olivier argues that fear of foreign influence has been leveraged by a coalition of Silicon Valley firms, national‑security agencies and allied think‑tanks to deflect structural reform of platforms. Drawing on Cold‑War communication theory, this coalition frames all online conflict as “information warfare,” treating citizens as passive targets for behavioral manipulation while ignoring deeper political‑economic drivers of democratic decay. Jutel retraces the military origins of mass‑communication research, critiques Shoshana Zuboff’s “surveillance capitalism” thesis, and dissects the role of high‑profile disinfo professionals whose methods, he contends, don’t question the core assumptions of tech industry platforms and national‑security priorities. Olivier concludes that while this disinformation framework is past its heyday, its war‑like view of social life persists, empowering actors such as Palantir while sidelining antitrust and public‑interest remedies. The solution? A shift toward true democratic governance of digital infrastructure.

Jake, Julian, and Travis try to make sense of Trump’s continued and ineffective attempts to make his base stop caring about Jeffrey Epstein. In some conspiracist circles, Trump’s moves on this issue are so confusing that they have resorted to “Trump clone” theories. We also discuss the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report that revealed the cryptic birthday note that Trump sent to Epstein. For dessert, the Jake Street Journal (JSJ) has done an investigation of its own and secured a collection of additional birthday wishes written from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein.
