Mind Control

Kurt Metzger | Roasting The Critics, Monarch Ritual Trauma, & The Noahide Techno-state

The Higherside ChatsSep 16, 2026

Comedian Kurt Metzger joins Greg Carlwood for a free-wheeling conversation that jumps from defending Joe Rogan against critics to claims about Project Monarch mind control and butterfly symbolism in celebrity imagery. The pair discuss what they call ritual theater in modern media, including a claimed 'scapegoat ritual' surrounding the Charlie Kirk killing, and read a disturbing ritual from the medieval grimoire Liber Vaccae. Carlwood closes with a long monologue about his public feud with Jay Dyer and the idea that the powerful co-opt podcasters through flattery rather than threats.
