Alan Berman on Nazi Eugenics, Alien Myth, and Mind Wars
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 1, 2026
Comedian-turned-researcher Alan Berman argues that the popular alien types of gray, Nordic, and reptilian are not visitors from other worlds but cover stories for human genetic engineering, Nazi-era eugenics programs, and mind-manipulation technology. He traces the modern information war to the 1980 'From PSYOP to MindWar' paper co-written by Michael Aquino and Paul Vallely, which he claims laid out how to win wars through constant messaging aimed at both foreign enemies and the American public. Berman ties this to social media algorithms, the Lebensborn program, global financial power, and what he calls a 'thermodynamic wall' that he believes is the true meaning of the biblical firmament.
Jason Reza Jorjani on Gnostic Glitches: Escaping the Demiurge’s Labyrinth
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioAug 27, 2026
Philosopher Jason Reza Jorjani joins Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio to discuss his essay collection Occult Horizons, arguing that the occult is hidden because it would pull the moral and metaphysical ground out from under ordinary people. He covers Konrad Zuse's idea that we live in a computational universe, the claim that a nuclear blast could expose the code of the 'matrix', Nordic aliens pushing for disarmament, and claims that AI programmers are suppressing psychic abilities in language models. The conversation also argues that the Scythians were the hidden architects of Eurasian civilization and connects them to Atlantis, intelligence agencies, and dragon myths.

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioAug 25, 2026
Richard Syrett discusses his book Tales from the Rock and Roll Twilight Zone, which explores conspiracies, curses, premonitions, and the paranormal in rock history. He argues that Beatlemania may have been amplified by the Tavistock Institute and British intelligence to subvert American youth, and that the Paul Is Dead legend could have served as an intelligence test of mass psychology. The conversation also covers Ronnie Van Zant's fatal premonitions, Charles Manson's obsession with the White Album, the Altamont concert as a satanic ritual, and a phone call Syrett believes came from a friend after his death.
