Orwell vs Huxley: Dystopian battle of the Future

It’s sad that someone gave this show a star 3 years ago when there were no episodes even posted. The person who posted that is ignorant West & Outback are just setting the table for April 2024 for the launch of a conspiracy theory show that is going to change the optics of the way the world has been socially engineered and programmed by people like Edward Bernard’s to be influenced in the zeitgeist of the culture of Conspiracy. Every episode will be fact driven. Episodes based on a library that every conspiracy theorist would beg to just see. Every Conspiracy Theory Podcast is based off what podcaster’s think listeners are interested in. I bet that every conspiracy theory podcasts available haven’t even read Orwell and Huxley. That’s truly sad. You better be ready April 2024. Charles Manson was CIA , Jim Morrisons Dad was the Reer Admiral in the Gulf of Tonkin, RFK Killed Monroe, Watergate was a broadway show to keep you from noticing what really happened, Whitey Bulger and the Unabomber we’re part of MK-ULTRA, Jonestown was a CIA experiment, are reptilians real? Is the world flat? Did we land on the moon? Who cares because those are the conspiracies that are safe for you to deep dive into. When you’re ready to learn, listen
