Cool Zone Media.
We're back and I'm thinking about the time John Lovett's beat up Andy Dick.
I was also thinking about that earlier today.
Why?
Yeah, because it's, it's what I'm like, it's just a good moment of American history, Molly.
It's a, it's a time I'm, it's like the, it's like the landings at Normandy, right?
It's one of those moments that just makes me
and I'm proud to be an American.
Yeah.
He had it coming, he had it coming.
He had it coming, I think it happened multiple times.
Oh my gosh.
That was before Andy Dick got caught hanging out
with those neo-Nazis.
No, but that was after Andy Dick played a role
in the death of one of the greatest voice actors of any generation
He did kill Phil Hartman. He did kind of help kill Phil Hartman. Yes, and this is relevant
It's not relevant, but it's come up because I just saw a clip of that the Hassan the
The guy with the very popular leftist streamer guy interviewing one of the pod save bros
different John Lovitz.
John Lovitz, who I had all this time in my head
been assuming John Lovitz was on Pod Save America.
And then like, that doesn't make any sense at all.
Isn't he like conservative?
I don't know much about John Lovitz.
Other than that he beat up Andy Dick, but absolutely not.
It's some fucking-
Not the same guy.
Very unimpressive looking dude.
We never talked about that, but 100% me too. Yes. Absolutely not. It's some fucking not the same guy very unimpressive. I don't know a hundred percent me, too
Yes
I wish John Lovett's was on that podcast now. I don't know any of his opinions
I assume most of them outside of his Andy dick opinions are bad
But I just can't hear John Lovett's his voice and not think of the critic and that makes me happy
I mean what better way to find out all of someone's awful opinions than putting them on a podcast Yeah, exactly exactly podcast on the last episode of this podcast. I brought the show listeners
These weird knife yeah Robert shows your cool knife. It's my cool knife Robert got it for me for my birthday a few years back
And the hope that you would find out how to use it
How do you use that thing you can use it for I use it for primarily for like a like a
cheese board or you could or for herb slicing.
It's a rocking motion. Yeah, I didn't get any props. Should I have brought a prop to the part two? But yeah, stunning.
You should always you should always bring a prop. By the way, my my prop, this sword right here that I brought up in the last episode.
That's nice.
It's nice.
It's actually a direct, a bladesmith that I know whose name I'll give you in a minute,
read a new fantasy series.
One of the books in it is called The Daughter's War.
It's very good.
You should check it out.
I read them both as well. And so when I saw he'd made a sword based on those books and it was
very reasonably priced, I was like, oh shit, I got to get it. If you look to our blade
maker, Randall Blademaker on Twitter, you can find his shit. He's very good. And again,
opens a YouTube package like a son of a bitch. I also pruned a fig tree with this bad boy
the other day. Pretty good time. Multi-purpose.
Your fig tree is...
It's a scary fig tree, it's massive, yeah.
Giant.
Yeah.
So, I guess we gotta get back to it, huh?
Apparently.
He was a Boy Scout leader, a husband, a father, but he was leading a double life.
He was a monster hiding in plain sight. Journey inside the mind of one of

murder.
I am confident that Julie Beckley is guilty.

During our, I guess we were gone for several days and or 10 minutes, I did discover that
someone has made a LinkedIn page for Valiant Thor.
I don't think he is still alive, but he does have a LinkedIn page that shows he still works
at the Space Missile Defense Command.
Oh, that's good.
That's good.
Okay.
What is he doing at this?
Like what's the job title?
Advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Uh-huh.
Yep.
Yeah.
He's the Space Missile Defense Command is part of the army.
So he advises the Joint Chiefs of Staff in that capacity.
Okay. Yeah.
Valiant Thor sitting in.
So Donald Trump is presumably having meetings
with Valiant Thor at this point in time, right?
He's at the table.
He's at the table.
That's comforting actually, you know?
Cause he seems like he's got our best interests at heart.
Speaking of which, shall we get back into our book,
Venetian Health Magic and Venetian Secret Science
by Michael X. Barton.
Just a beautiful tome.
I love the rainbow. Gorgeous.
It smells slightly of incense.
I assume that's because wherever they print these books,
a lot of people are burning a lot of incense.
All right, so we're ready to get back
into our friend Michael X. Barton and his story,
his experiences with Lanzara and Shalana,
who have transcended their earthly bodies,
but not the patriarchy,
as we noted in the last episode molly.
I'm ready to get healed.
I'm ready to get healed.
You're ready to get healed? Well this is gonna tell you how.
Reveal it to me.
Yeah and the spoiler is it's just fruit.
It's a shitload of fruit molly.
Lansara.
And so he's talking to, he reaches out after like having out after hanging out with his buddy.
They go to bed.
His friend is sick.
He's been just getting worse and worse over the last couple of years.
And Michael convenes with Lanzara to ask him, how do I help my buddy Jim get better?
And Lanzara, when he last communicated with me telepathically, had taught me many astounding
facts regarding the wonderful health and amazing longevity of the people of Venus.
To a true student of the occult or hidden side of life, none of the Venusian secret
science is the least bit impractical or even fantastic.
You and I know that all the higher teachings of life are far more practical and true than
the mere human mind can realize at first.
In time, as the personal vibrations become raised into higher and still higher octaves
of being, all limitations vanish and man's spirit controls matter.
Those of you who have studied Venutian's secret science, in which I related my series of contacts
with Lanzara, know that he gave me special suggestions to observe in regard to the New
Age diet as well as other matters.
By applying these suggestions and sticking to them until they become positive habits
in my daily life, I discovered to my great droid that my health improved immensely.
But that is not the only practical benefit.
My mental and spiritual faculties became much more keener and active than ever before."
So he's doing well and he wakes up his friend Jim Lindy the next day and he's like, look,
I got to tell you about some of this Venusian magic I know.
I'm very excited.
And Jim says, you talk as if you really know much more about the space people than you're
letting on.
Oh, he does.
He does.
He absolutely does.
So he's happy that Jim is open-minded to his suggestions.
And he takes him to his apartment.
We arrived at my apartment dwelling within 30 minutes from the time we left the airport.
It is a large apartment, not new, but well constructed and designed for human comfort
and convenience.
The rooms are large and cheerfully decorated.
My housekeeper, Lenore, occupies another apartment in the same vicinity.
She is a gentle and gracious soul, deeply interested in the advanced teachings of the
Venusians.
By putting their teachings into practice in her own life, Lenora succeeded in outwitting,
to a great extent, the effects of father time.
How is this Zillow ad helping me understand my Lifetrons?
Unclear.
She is very youthful looking.
In her estimation, mere calendar years are of little importance.
The thing that matters most is biological age, as the flexibility or one's cells and arteries.
By true standards, Lenore is indeed young."
I'm really trying to get a grip on what his relationship with Lenore is, and it is very unclear.
It's his housekeeper, but he seems to know a lot about her flexibility.
Mm-hmm.
And again, within the parlance of these essays, the fact that he's talking
about like, she's old, but she doesn't look it much better than what you normally get.
So I'm not going to harp too much on this stuff.
So yeah, Jim accepts the emotion to stay or the invitation to stay.
They have dinner and it's just fruit salad. Jim has a great time because
quote, a vital natural diet is Earthman's first step in preparing himself physically and spiritually
to meet the space people. You can't talk to the Venusians otherwise.
Is it possible that these guys just weren't getting enough fiber before and that's why they
feel better right away? That's actually very likely.
They were eating a 60s diet,
which consisted of nothing but fried cheese.
Like Salisbury's steak and cigarettes.
Like he hasn't shit in days.
Yeah, that's his problem.
Since Michael left in 1953, Jim has not taken a shit.
Doctors can't figure it out.
It hurts so bad.
I just imagine this like conclave.
There's like 30 doctors and lab coats, all chain
smoking, Paul Maul's.
No idea what's wrong.
What could it be?
I don't know.
Why don't we go get some seltzer?
Are you sick? We broke Robert. What could it be I don't know why don't we go get some sauce
I mean, I don't know if you guys heard the news, but cat turd has a bowel impaction
So this is a very real problem facing America's men. So we're returning to tradition on this stuff? Oh, good times.
So sorry, I skipped ahead a little bit earlier.
Now is where he bids Jim good night, saying that like, you know, tomorrow, tonight I'm
going to talk to my Venusian master.
And then we're going to we're going to start your health program.
So I wonder, I know you're wondering, Molly, you know, the question everyone has, how do
you get into contact with people from venus? Well, thank God Michael details in this
book his regular procedure. First, he raises the vibratory rate of his psychic brain centers,
the pituitary and pineal glands. Actually, I need to step before that one. That can't be step one.
That is step one. Are there some steps?
That's the step one.
Substep, he places psychic gyms, telolith,
and lapis lingua directly over his pituitary
and pineal glands, and he exerts mild pressure
with his hands.
He then visualizes a beam of white light shining
from the center of his forehead towards Venus.
On this beam of light, I sent out my call to Master Lanzara and patiently awaited his
response to the message.
So he's pressing a crystal.
Two crystals, Molly, two crystals.
One crystal is not going to do it.
If you've just got one crystal, you're getting nowhere.
Where's my pituitary gland?
It's somewhere up in your head.
I imagine he's like pressing a crystal to the front and back of his head.
Yeah, I think that's something like that
because the pineal gland's like right here.
If I'm remembering various paintings
by Alex Gray about taking DMT.
Right.
And yeah, it would make sense
if the other one was back here.
So he's got a crystal on either side of his head
and he's thinking about a pillar of light
and then he sends his message, you know?
It's just like calling AT&T, Molly.
Okay, this makes perfect sense to me.
Go on.
No, no one listening to this podcast has called AT&T in their entire lifespan.
I don't know what to tell.
Anyway, a minute passed, two minutes.
Then suddenly I felt the strange since the same strange sensation that invariably happens
whenever a message is sent to me from the space people.
I can only partially describe it by saying that it is a physical, mental, and spiritual feeling of at-one-ment with another living,
thinking human being whose vibrations are extraordinarily harmonious. As his dynamic
thoughts are conveyed one by one to my mind, I feel a sense of unusual peace, harmony, joyous
stimulation, and timelessness. For a few precious moments, time ceases to be, and I am strongly
aware only of his magnetic
presence, his consciousness, and the living truth of his vital message.
Briefly, this is the feeling of attunement that came to me after I had sent out my call
to Lanzara.
With this feeling, there also came into my awareness the special musical tone in the
key of D, with which Lanzara makes his presence known to me by telethought."
Now, Molly, that's a capitalized word.
Obviously. That's telegram but with your thoughts.
Telethot. Although it is spelled like telegram but for like thoughts like the kids talk about,
THOT. Oh no.
Yeah, makes me giggle a little bit every time I come across that bad boy. Yeah.
Yeah, the number of words he's creating and capitalizing is...
He has unique...
The Venusians have a unique attitude towards capitalizing words.
They've ascended from our grammatical system, Molly.
Right, they've moved beyond it.
They've graduated from it.
Yeah, yeah.
They're much better than us in that way.
And every other way.
As his dynamic thoughts are conveyed one by one to my mind, I feel a sense of unusual
peace, harmony, joyous stimulation and timelessness.
Where does he feel that?
That's unclear, Molly.
Joyous stimulation could mean a lot of things and in this context, most of them aren't things
I want to think about Michael X doing.
For a few precious moments, time ceases to be and I'm strongly aware only of his magnetic
presence, his consciousness and the living truth of his vital message.
Briefly, this is the feeling of attunement that came to me after I had sent out my call
to Lanzara.
With this feeling there also came into my awareness the special musical tone in the
Key of D with which Lanzara makes his presence known to me by telethought.
His masterful thoughts followed the musical tone.
Greetings, Michael X. Blessings of life, love, and ever increasing light to you
and all our loved ones on planet Earth.
Once again, it is our privilege and joy
to serve our Earth brothers and sisters
and assist them in their upward evolution.
You, beloved brother, were right in reasoning
that we know of the serious illness
of your dear friend, Jim Lindy.
We have been aware of his plight for some time,
but it was not until recently.
I love the idea.
Billions of humans.
This is the 60s.
Millions of people are being incinerated
from the air in Vietnam.
There is so much suffering in the world,
but these minutiae are like, oh yeah, Jim, of course.
We can't stop talking about Jim Linney.
Well, Jim's obviously special, right?
Because he's seen the crash.
And that wasn't a coincidence look
This is the man who's come the longest amount of time without shitting and has been
Life-tronic health spa this is we can't put back people back together when they get blown to shit by a c-130
But what we can do is help Jim Lindy to shit
Like it just give him a bowl of honeydew melon.
Yeah, that is literally the prescription.
As much melon as you can fit in your body.
Wow.
We have been aware of his plight for some time,
but it was not until recently that we could act
in his behalf without interfering with his own will.
Fortunately, Jim Lindy is open-minded regarding us.
That is most important.
We can and shall help him.
We shall point out certain health secrets which should not be secrets at all, but common
knowledge to earthlings.
At the Lifetronic Healing Center on Venus, we give out these and other teachings freely
so that all Venusians learn how to work with nature's upbuilding measures from infancy
on."
So there are native-born Venusians.
They're not all ascended, which
means it exists because like our Venus does not grow melons, Molly, is not a good melon
climate. I don't know if you spend a lot of time there.
Cosmology here. So there have been both human beings from Earth who have ascended to Venus
and become Venusians. Yes.
But then there are also human beings on Earth
who are reincarnated from native Venusians,
or are they the reincarnations of humans
who ascended to Venus, became Venusian,
and then reincarnated back into Earth?
It does appear to go birth both ways,
and I would guess it's a matter of,
here's my guess, if I'm coming up with a cosmology.
Because is it a punishment if you get born back on Earth?
Venusians, we split off at some point, right?
The ancient people who traveled into space, some of whom wound up in Venus, and they stayed
smart, whereas we developed daytime television, which really took us, did a number on us.
So the Venutians who were smart and, you know, they still love us, they still care about
us.
And when a human being is like wise and enlightened enough, they're able to see and communicate with his soul
and bring it to Venus.
But their interactions with Venusians,
humans who have ascended to Venus,
make some of the nice Venusians
feel very empathetic towards earth.
So they choose to die and be reincarnated on the earth
to help us, and that's where Jesus comes from.
I was gonna ask, I was actually gonna ask.
If I'm selling this, that's how I'm selling this.
No, because you said the X is to honor Christ
and so usually guys that still believe
in the existence of Jesus Christ,
but are also alien guys, they think Jesus was an alien.
Well, that's exactly it.
And in this, it's a little more complicated
that the aliens are humans, but they didn't come from earth.
So Jesus chose to leave Venus and incarnate on earth.
Yes, that's my interpretation of this.
I'm up to speed, I'm on board.
You're up to speed, you're good?
Yeah.
All right, let's continue.
So yeah, they're gonna give him some secrets.
In Jim Lindy's case,
he must first intensify his desire to be well.
Then he must himself send forth his desire directly to us,
and we shall give him a sign of our recognition
and illumine his inner consciousness, illuminate? He must himself send forth his desire directly to us and we shall give him a sign of our recognition
and illumine his inner consciousness,
it illumine?
I'm not sure if they were trying to say illuminate.
I don't think illumine is a word.
Illumin him.
Illumin him.
So if you look that one up please.
His inner consciousness from time to time.
This we shall do by a series of all caps, dream contacts.
How am I spelling this word?
Okay. I-L-L-U-M-I-N-E. It is. by a series of all caps, dream contacts. How am I spelling this word? Okay, yes.
I-L-L-U-M-I-N-E.
It is, so it is.
I-L-L-U-M-I-N-E.
It can be a literary way of saying
to brighten something, like illuminate,
but also it can be to spiritually
or intellectually enlighten.
You know what?
I gotta give it to Michael X.
I learned something today.
Yeah, this is literature, Robert.
We all learned something today.
You know what? Why don't we meditate on that?
Get some rocks, stick them on one side of your head in another,
push them in a little bit, think of a pillar of light and listen to these ads.
Do you think the rare earth medals inside my iPhone count?
Should I press that to my pinnacle?
Yeah, stick a couple of phones to your head.
It doesn't matter.
Fuck it.
He was a Boy Scout leader, a church deacon,
a husband, a father.
He went to a local church.
He was going to the grocery store with us.
He was the guy next door.
But he was leading a double life.
He was certainly a peeping Tom,
looking through the windows,
looking at people, fantasizing about what he could do.
He then began entering the houses.
He could get into the home, take something, and get out and not be caught.
He felt very powerful.
He was a monster, hiding in plain sight.
Someone killed four members of a family.
It just didn't happen here. Journey inside the mind of one of history's most

Welcome to the Criminalia Podcast.
I'm Maria Tremarchi.
And I'm Holly Fry.
Together, we invite you into the dark and winding corridors
of historical true crime.
Each season, we explore a new theme,
everything from poisoners and pirates
to art thieves and snake oil products
and those who made and sold them.
We uncover the stories and secrets
of some of history's most compelling criminal
figures, including a man who built a submarine as a getaway vehicle.
Yep, that's a fact.
We also look at what kinds of societal forces were at play at the time of the
crime, from legal injustices to the ethics of body snatching to see what, if
anything, might look different through today's perspective.
And be sure to tune in at the end of each episode as we indulge in custom-made cocktails
and mocktails inspired by the stories.
There's one for every story we tell.
Listen to Criminalia on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
We're back. Actually, Molly, I kind of think the iPhones might do better because obviously the life blood of whatever child
harvested those rare earth minerals is built into your iPhone, so it's haunted. And the ghost is probably like, that's like bringing in a guy to tune your TV antenna. Again, another thing
no one has done in fucking 35 years.
Um, uh, good stuff.
So Jim Lenting.
I'm illumined.
Yeah, we have all been illumined on the word illumine.
They're going to do this by a series of dream contacts,
which will be made by us while Jim is sleeping soundly
at night.
He will at those times experience unusually vivid dreams,
each containing a vitally important message that's important for him to regain his health.
You believe then, I said quickly, that Jim Lindy can be cured so he will once again be
vigorous and healthy? There are no cures," replied Lanzara. Jim's present state of painful illness
was created by himself through his own unwise action of eating nothing but Salisbury steak for 42 years.
I do love the undercurrent of like, well, he can't get better until he actually wants to because he's sick because he doesn't want it bad enough.
There's a degree to which they're kind of being reasonable because what they're literally saying is like, there's a line here,
those who claim they can cure disease are charlatans.
They're only fooling themselves and those homeous souls who turn to them and misguided trust and confidence. The simple
truth is, but then we get to this, the simple truth is humanity does not have to cure disease.
All it needs to do is stop causing it, right? What you can do by only eating raw fruit,
you know? I went through whiplash there. I was like, oh, maybe this isn't going to be
set up. Nope. There we go. Okay.
I feel like a lot of people
who are selling you something dangerous
will make a valid point about how everyone else
who's doing that is pretty bad.
Uh-huh, uh-huh. But I'm not.
I'm selling you the good lead vitamins.
I'm selling you the good responsible life advice.
So Jim's got to rebuild his health
by reversing the pattern of disease and being healthy.
And this is a super fast process if you do it right.
Now normally it's very slow.
The average person on earth, if they're sick, they have no control over the healing process.
You have to replace the Phaetans with the Lifetrons.
Yes, yes.
You must consider the natural time factor and allow for it.
But and this is Lanzara again.
Many thousands of years ago, reckoning according to your earth time, the greatest minds of
Venus found that the time factor in nature could be so minimized and reduced that we
were able to accomplish results in weeks where formerly years were required.
Then we progressed to a point where we could do so much in only a few days as we used to
do in several weeks.
Finally, our greatest breakthrough came when we discovered how to collapse time, all caps,
within our own consciousness,
so that the positive results were realized
in mere seconds and minutes
that previously took many hours and days to achieve.
At the Lifetronic Healing Center on Venus,
we had long studied the simple, marvelous laws
of the universe and the forces of nature.
Knowing as we did that these natural laws
are designed by the creator for the good of
all life, we did not attempt to change the unchangeable.
Instead, we did our best to learn those wonderful laws and attune ourselves with them.
As we ourselves learned higher truths, we taught themselves to all the people and showed
them how to apply simple methods that brought health and happiness into their lives.
To study and apply all that we can discover of our creator's simple but wonderful principles
brings us all the greatest of joys
Our delight is as your Psalm has it in the law of the Lord
Okay, I I think this guy's fucking bullshitting us because he was like, oh we want to share these secrets with everyone
They shouldn't even be secrets. We want to tell everyone but you knew Jim was sick
You do even wait even holding out on our boy Jim, because he wasn't ready. Because he liked this steak a little too much.
So you wanna share it with everybody or not?
No, he had to come and eat a bowl of fruit.
Lanzara is fucking gaslighting us.
What's left out of this recitation of events
is that while Michael is communing with Lanzara,
his friend Jim Wendy, who just ate his first fiber in like 20 years, fighting
for his life.
You know those hemorrhoids are hurting.
That poor man.
Oh man, nearly killed him.
Our people, Lanzara continued, became aware that health is the physical body's normal
reaction to a normal environment.
So I know you're wondering, how do you make your environment normal so you can cure all
your illnesses, right?
Very simple.
Number one, vital air.
Number two, vital sunlight.
Number three, vital food.
And number four, vital water.
That's all you need.
See, there's four supreme essentials to human life, right?
And these are all in vital forms or as most of us do,
you can assume them in dead forms, right?
What is vital air?
That means the air is alive, Sophie.
You need to positronically charge it with the crystals.
Obviously, Sophie, keep up.
These are the four essentials, right?
And if you have all of these, you can't get sick, right?
But most people consume dead air, weak sunlight,
dead food and dead water, right?
I mow my air and charging my air.
Oh yes, so we've got crystals.
Gotta be live food.
Gotta make sure your water's not dead.
Have you heard the conspiracy theory
that they replaced the sun with a different, weaker sun?
Yes, and I do believe it.
So I think that's what the problem is,
like we're not consuming vital sun.
We're not getting nearly enough vital shit, right?
It's like stupid fucked up sun.
Yeah, the sun sucks.
Our water's super fucked up.
I do, it is very funny to me that like,
he has to be talking about like water that comes straight
from like a stream and it's full of Giardia.
Like it is alive.
There are living things in that water.
Water that's alive is not good for you.
You don't want some.
Yeah, he does have, there's a whole rants in here
about how mineral water is killing you
because rocks are dead
But the crystals are alive
You know
That is that is a contradiction in his cosmology that I don't think Michael X ever really grapples with
If I ever get to Venus, I'm gonna be there fucking Socrates. They're gonna kill me for being so annoying
They are going to poison you they're gonna make you drink venutian hemlock because you're like, I don't know guys
You have a lot of crystals around here. They seem pretty fucking dead to me
Yeah, so what they're telling what they're what they're telling our boy Michael is that his friend Jim Lindy
He's been breathing dead air instead of live, fresh, moving air, inactive air.
It's like a stagnant pool of water.
It contains almost no positive electricity.
That's when dogs put their head out the window in the car.
Dogs understand all of this, Molly.
And that's why dogs drink water that is disgusting.
Because they know- They're looking for
the most vital puddle water in the neighborhood.
They need vital water.
They can't, none of that dead water?
I'm gonna drink from a toilet somebody left out in the field
filled with water from the rain and moss.
Oh, the best water has stuff wiggling in it.
That's right, the docs love that shit.
Cannot get enough of it.
Third.
Grabbing all of my crystals that are near my desk is a surprising amount. Cannot get enough of it
I'm pounding a dr. Pepper zero sugar, which feels very vital to me the bubbles the bubbles are alive
I wonder I don't cook my cratum. Does that count? vital? Wait, my juice is alive. It's your juice
I'm gonna guarantee you this guy was pro. Bucha. Yeah fucking vital right now, although he doesn't mention it Maybe kabocha hadn't made it really into like new age stuff in the 60s
That might have been a little early the early 60s that might have been a little too early for it
I just want to say
Yeah, it's it yeah. It's alive.
It's alive.
So how are we bringing vitality to our air?
I don't really get a clear example
other than like going outside, right?
Like, this is-
This is how we do it, Molly.
Look, like honestly, like a lot of,
especially earlier new age stuff,
if you do like half of the time,
if you do what they're telling you to do, it's like fine.
Cause half of what they're telling you to do is like,
you need to go outside and get natural sunlight,
which like, yeah, you do.
That's like good for you.
The thing that really hits, if you could do one thing
that would hit all four of these to cure you forever
so you can become Venusian and get all the Lifetrons is, you know,
like when you put a watermelon in a stream to cool off.
Yes. So it's a sunny day.
You're outside. It's windy.
So the air is very vital.
Cold, moving water, that melon in the water full of deer shit.
You definitely get Giardia from eating it and you live for fucking ever.
That's right. You get those chronic wasting disease prions
and your fucking watermelon.
You're never gonna die.
You only eat melon and you have giardia.
You will shit yourself inside out.
Prions are very vital.
They can't be killed.
They can't be killed.
I'm gonna put out a book called The Prion Driven Life
and just try to see how many of like the new QAnon people
I can get to just consume chronic wasting disease meat.
Look, the government wants to tell you
that preons are bad for you,
but the more of this stuff you get in your body,
if preons can't die,
and you only eat meat with preons in it,
you'll never die.
Probably, yeah, there basically was.
Because there was that British mad cow pandemic around the same time.
It spooked a lot of people. Anyway.
Sorry, I keep bringing up diarrhea.
So, look, if there's one thing this book is going to cause, it's diarrhea.
Like, you are going up to a bunch of very clogged up fifties guys
and saying, what if you only ate raw fruit?
Massive quantities of it, as much as you can fit
in your body.
These guys did damage to the septic system in Los Angeles.
That was a big part of why the fires got so bad.
Oh, Robert.
This is actually very serious.
We need to find out if Jim's okay.
So this is their biggest advice
because Jim needs to get live food in his body.
Live.
Vital food in his body.
Vital.
Like the vast majority of humans on planet Earth, Jim Lindy has relied upon cooked food
to energize his body.
This is a serious error, for it is impossible to get something vital out of something dead.
You're cooking electrons out.
Cooked and processed-
That's right.
As they say, cooked and processed food is nine-tenths dead for the life energy, life-tronic
energy that was originally in the food
has been forced out of it into the atmosphere
by the vibratory action of the fire.
If one knows that it costs-
Well he does make the molecules move around faster, right?
And that makes me wonder,
so if I sit by a cooking fire and just breathe in,
am I okay?
And he kind of says yes,
cause he's like, there are certain techniques
that you can get more life energy out of the air
so you could be okay on cooked food.
But if you want-
If the Lifetrons are like coming off it like a steam,
why don't you just huff it?
Huff the steam.
Apparently that does work to a degree,
but as Lanzara notes,
no true adept or master on any planet eats cooked food,
for it is contrary to natural law
and always has a destructive effect.
Always. Always.
Yeah.
Oh, we get to the water here.
Jim has drunk freely from the ordinary reservoir water
and of water from mineral springs of this earth.
Although this water contains a certain amount
of electronic energy derived through contract
with sun and air, it also contains quantities
of inorganic minerals.
These minerals are too low in course and vibration to be used by the human body.
He does kind of explain why it doesn't work like crystals.
So yeah, they just get deposited in your nerves where it's bad for you.
So they're anti-fluoride for sure.
These guys definitely would not be happy to hear fluoride being in our water. However, I realized that Lifetronic or get that live organic water is obtained by simply eating
fresh, juicy fruits. Don't eat, don't drink water. Get a camelback full of raw fruit.
That's all you need to get you through the bush. The wettest fruits.
The wettest of the fruits. Nothing but that. So yeah, that's what keeps you alive, right?
That's what's gonna help you live forever.
So folks, if you take nothing from this, eat nothing but raw fruit and you will never die
and become God, or at least Venetian.
I did eat like 10 clementines earlier, so I think I'm pretty fucking vital today.
You know, when you came on this, I was like, well, Molly looks like she has been powered by Venus.
Like, you look like you can never get sick again.
You know, as long as you-
I definitely don't look like I stayed up all night
reading old Hungarian newspapers, no.
No, nothing goes with an old Hungarian newspaper
like a Clementine, I'm always saying that.
I've said that once, but it's true.
You know what else is true, Molly?
That all atoms are made of Lifetrons,
which descend from the Thought-trons.
This is very funny.
I actually grabbed a couple of my crystals
that I keep nearby for just such occasions
in between the last couple of sentences that I read.
We cut this out, but I focused on a pillar of light
as I pressed in on my head.
And Lanzara actually came down and was like, hey man, how's it going on?
And I was like, I'm doing good.
I'm trying to figure out how can I deliver to my audience the maximum value and joy that
they need in these difficult times in order to overcome the dark energy that's constantly
assailing all of us.
And he was like, I don't know, bro, maybe tell him to get off Twitter.
But then he said, listen to these ads.
He was a Boy Scout leader, a church deacon,
a husband, a father.
He went to a local church.
He was going to the grocery store with us.
He was the guy next door.
But he was leading a double life.
He was certainly a peeping Tom, looking through the windows, looking at people, fantasizing
about what he could do.
He then began entering the houses.
He could get into their home, take something, and get out and not be caught.
He felt very powerful.
He was a monster, hiding in plain sight. Someone killed four members of a family.
It just didn't happen here.

Maria Tremarchi
Welcome to the Criminalia Podcast. I'm Maria Tremarchi.
And I'm Holly Frey. Together we invite you into the dark and winding corridors of historical
true crime.
Each season we explore a new theme, everything from poisoners and pirates to art thieves
and snake oil products and those who made and sold them.
We uncover the stories and secrets of some of history's most compelling criminal figures,
including a man who built a submarine as a getaway vehicle.
Yep, that's a fact.
We also look at what kinds of societal forces were at play at the time of the crime, from
legal injustices to the ethics of body snatching, to see what, if anything, might look different through
today's perspective.
And be sure to tune in at the end of each episode as we indulge in custom-made cocktails
and mocktails inspired by the stories. There's one for every story we tell.
Listen to Criminalia on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
We're back.
What do you think Lanzara looks like, Molly?
Probably really sexy.
You think he's hot?
I was going to ask.
I was like, no, that's not a responsible thing
to ask a colleague, do you think he's hot?
But I was wanting to ask, do you think he's hot? Because I think he to ask. I was like, no, that's not a responsible thing to ask a colleague, do you think he's hot? But I was wanting to ask, do you think he's hot?
Because I think he's hot.
That fake photo of young Stalin.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Well, I just feel like this is the kind of cult
where like health is beauty, beauty is health, right?
I feel like that's very much sort of baked into the vibe here.
So like, if, what is his name?
Lanzara, if Lanzara is not sexy,
like I'm not taking fruit advice from him
No, you know what I bet I bet I bet everyone on Venus looks like those hot Nazis from the the Star Trek planet
Where oh where they tried to kill Wesley? Yeah, where you can't break the rules. Yeah
Yeah, no, that's I that's my favorite planet because they tried to get rid of Wesley, which we should do
Anyway, that's outside of the point.
I do agree, Molly, like a big unstated part of this
is that like as silly as all of this sounds,
I would do every piece of this
if someone who was sufficiently sexy told me to.
Like if Lee Pace is like,
oh no, my old secret, nothing but raw fruit.
I'm going to a raw fruit diet, you know?
What you're describing is what has happened
to millions of young women on Instagram
I know I know I know Lee pace has tremendous power right now
And it really says something about how good a person he is that he just posts videos of himself learning how to build a house
With his bare hands. I don't know who or what Lee pace is. I'm just talking about getting bad bad health advice from a sexy person. Oh
Man, no Lee pace has nothing but good advice, which is largely,
marry a dude and go live in the woods,
building a farmhouse.
Also be in several very good movies and TV shows.
Anyway.
I've Googled Lee Pace and it's not helping.
He doesn't look familiar to me at all.
Oh, you've never seen The Fall?
Oh, Molly, you gotta see The Fall.
The TV show with Gillian Anderson?
No, very different thing.
It's a movie. It's great. He's also in Foundation, which is The TV show with Gillian Anderson? No, very different thing. It's a movie.
It's great.
He's also in foundation, which is a TV show.
Also great.
All men look the same to me.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, not Lee Pace.
Not once you really get a good Lee Pace thing in there.
I'll send you some Lee Pace photos.
I started typing Lee Pace
and Google asked me if I meant Lenny Reef install.
So like, just these are bad.
You do not want Lenny reef install.
They're bad on my computer, I can't.
No, no, no, we can't, I can't, I can't let this be.
I can't let this be.
Keep reading to us.
No, no, we're doing a leap pace.
Look, we're doing a leap pace.
I gotta bring you guys a good leap pace.
All right, all right, this is a good leap pace shot.
Okay, one shot okay one sec
one sec I'm doing a control and a plus control yeah you learned something today
uh-huh maybe in a hack and a fraud Roberts just what I've just been
clipping shit in the earthen view for years all right look at that look at
that man we had a piece of man look at that. Look at that man. Look at that piece of man.
Look at that shirt he's wearing.
Who are these outfits?
What is this from?
This is foundation.
It's a great show.
Look at him.
Look at him in that shirt.
Oh.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll watch that for sure.
That's right.
You're goddamn right.
Not offended.
Anyway.
All right, let's vibrate. Three Rivers to Cross, part three.
Jim Lindy wakes up the morning after.
The best shit of his life.
Fighting demons on that throne.
He harpooned the Dark Lord.
What the fuck?
Oh my god. Oh my god.
So he's had a dream.
As Lanzara told our narrator Michael, he's had a dream.
In this dream, a message was conveyed to him.
He had three rivers to cross.
It's a metaphor.
And he crossed all these rivers.
He was, you know, felt weak,
but then he managed to find the strength and did it.
I'm not gonna read this guy's whole dream to you.
I made one promise when I started podcasting too.
One was I won't sell baldness cures.
And the other was that I won't read anybody's dream
extensively.
And I have kept those promises, you know,
just to not be like Alex Jones.
That's the only promises that I will keep.
But yeah, so he has this dream and it convinces him that,
like, and at the end of it,
every cell of his body radiates health
and he sees the grim reaper flee from him in fear.
So he knows like-
Because he's unkillable now.
He's too life-tronic.
He's got so much fiber in his diet.
He's just in a life tronic mech suit
and the Grim Reaper cannot touch him.
That's what the fiber does is it builds
like an Iron Man suit around you
of like what used to be bananas and melons.
Eagerly he rushed to, it is really,
it is very obvious at this point
how deeply this affected Steve Jobs.
Like he truly believed Lanzara was going to save him from fucking pancreatic cancer. Eagerly he rushed to it is really it is very obvious at this point how deeply this affected Steve jobs
Like he truly believed Lanzara was going to save him from fucking pancreatic cancer. That's so troubling
Prostate whichever would kill them
One of the pee cancer
Yeah, it was pancreatic. He's what got my mom
Eagerly he rushed to a mirror to see if by some magic means the wonderful dream had come true.
So real the experience had been to Jim, it seemed that surely it must have happened.
But as he gazed into the mirror, he saw at once that no magic had taken place,
at least any that was evident immediately to the eyes.
His body was still sickly looking, prematurely old and lacking in vital strength.
An unusually vibrant sparkle, however, shone strongly in his blue eyes,
as if he had contacted living forces that could quite easily, if they so willed, transform him into the
happy, healthy individual he longed to be. This briefly was the first inspiring dream
contact as Jim related it to Roe while we walked."
So he's had a, he's had a, or I think Roe was supposed to be me. Someone did a find
replace in this manuscript that fucked it up a little bit.
So they have a dinner which consists of fresh, delicious organic fruits sliced into generous
bowl topped with sunflower seeds, almond nut cream, and a sprig of mint leaf.
Refreshing.
Yeah.
Everything is uncooked.
You can tell immediately when foods have been submitted to fire.
And after breakfast, Jim has to write some letters while our author retires to his den.
And then he describes his library, which is very exciting to me.
I went to my library room to catch up on some serious reading.
My library is somewhat unique in that it contains several thousand books, chiefly of an occult
or mystical nature.
My collection of flying saucer.
You're not special.
In 1960, he might've been.
I desperately wanna see,
cause this is like, I gotta think,
if he's got thousands of books about like space flight,
interplanetary books, flying saucer shit in 1960.
He has every single one.
And most of this shit like is gone forever now.
Like a lot of this did not get digitized.
This man's library was a treasure trove of lost media
that I would kill to get my hands on.
We'd be set for years, Molly.
We could do this twice a week.
Think of the content.
Think of how much content we'd get.
Ah, if only.
If you know where fucking Michael X's library went.
Where was this estate sale?
I will fight and kill to get my hands on it.
So he starts looking through his library
to find something that's subject of health
that he can recommend to Jim.
And he's disappointed.
I think this is his explanation
for why he had to write these books.
Because the book he needed didn't exist.
That's why he had to write it.
That's right.
And every self-help book has that piece in the why I had to write these books. Because the book he needed didn't exist, that's why he had to write it. That's right. And every self-help book has that piece in the why I had to write it thing.
And then while he's reading, and don't you hate it, Molly, we all have this experience,
you're deep in some research, you're in the stacks, as it were, and you get a call, you
know, your phone starts buzzing.
And you're like, that never happens to me.
Mine doesn't ring.
Yeah, mine doesn't ring either, actually.
You simply can't exist that way anymore, but his phone is not ringing
He is getting called by telephot communication, which is there like a do not stir for that
We like that does happen to me you turn your telephot back on you like oh shit
I missed a lot of calls from the fucking arborist who's supposed to come and cut that tree down fuck me fuck me I
Had one thing to do today Do you think the Venusians can leave voicemails? from the fucking arborist who's supposed to come and cut that tree down. Fuck me, fuck me.
I had one thing to do today.
Do you think the Venusians can leave voicemails?
You know, I-
Maybe that's what the dreams are.
Cause I was gonna ask,
what's the difference between dream communication
and telethought?
It just went easier.
Maybe the dreams are the voicemails.
That's like hell.
You just go to sleep and it's like,
hey, so Lanzara here.
Sorry, I'm in traffic right now.
Hey, hey, come on, speed up, man. It's the fucking highway
Sorry. Anyway, I just want to let you know
You're positing universe in which even our ascended masters get stuck in traffic that yes because I I
Can only imagine and I get the feeling Michael imagines that Venus is just like
Los Angeles in the stars
Everyone's eating at Erawan is just like Los Angeles and the stars. It's just LA. It's just LA. It's just LA.
Everyone's eating at Erawan.
Yeah, it's fucking Whole Foods
as far as the eye can goddamn see.
So he gets a call from Lanzara
and he's like, hey, good news.
You know, your buddy, we sent him a dream.
The first river he crossed represents the basic primary need to cleanse the mind of negative thoughts,
false tradition or race thinking.
Uh-oh.
What?
What?
Uh-oh.
The what?
And the error, he just moves right past it.
And the error of reasoning from false or wrong premises.
As long as Jim Lindy clings to the useless mental habit
of worshiping all caps, false gods, he will remain confused and sick.
False gods are those ideas, beliefs, and practices based upon human ignorance, willful deceit, or mystifying complexity.
They invariably, all caps, block the constructive healing power of the natural, all caps, life forces.
This is why most methods of healing human ills on your planet are so ineffective. Many of them are ridiculous.
Some are actually destructive.
Why?
Because they ignore the divine intelligence or God power within the individual and interfere
with its natural activity, which is always working towards good.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, what's there to even say about that?
I mean, what if that's, I mean, the first river seems like it covers a lot of territory. What are the second two rivers?
The first river covers, yeah, that's a real Ganges kind of situation there.
So yeah, he goes on, all these rivers are basically the same thing, which is you've
got to cleanse yourself of different things that are bad.
Well, the first river cleans the mind.
The second river cleanses the colon.
The second river is emotional or desi- The colon got cleansed immediately, Molly.
Oh shit.
Now the second river is emotional or desire nature.
The third river signifies the great need to cleanse
all the cells of the physical body,
as well as the atoms of which those cells are composed.
Sounds exhausting.
About once every three years,
I managed to clean the baseboards in my house
and I always feel like a fucking god.
So I can't imagine if you got around
to cleaning your atoms, you'd feel great.
I think that would really help.
If the atoms are gunked up, like the Lifetrons can't.
They're not gonna move around.
Yeah, throw her out.
The Lifetrons will stagnate, yeah.
No, when I'm vacuuming the baseboards.
That makes it sound like it's like a Lifetron
reuptake inhibitor, which actually seems like
it could be good if you don't let the Lifetrons leave,
then maybe like they stay in you, like an SSRI.
Yeah, you need to re-stimulate the Lifetron receptors.
But then if you eat too much fruit,
which I think is like the Lifetron equivalent of MDMA,
you get Lifetron syndrome?
Yeah.
I'm vibrating at a too high, not you can't, not on the keyboard.
I'm just imagining kids at the club eating fruit, like passing out, they have to get
like fruit in our can, which I guess is just a steak.
Oh my God.
You're just like rubbing a steak on their face.
Like I'm vibrating at such a high frequency.
Yeah, you keep like some McDonald's fries in a breakaway glass thing in order to bring them down
if they get too high up into space.
There's a guy in a booth watching the surveillance camera
and if you disappear from the footage,
you know your vibrational frequency is too high.
You're too high, you're too high.
Hit him with the beef tallow.
Yeah, they're coming in there with a fucking sloppy Joe.
The sprinklers just start dropping.
Like in Blade, except it's in a blood,
it's just warm tallow.
The second before you said that,
I thought of Blade Molly.
Speaking of vibrations, you and I are clearly,
we're clearly riding a similar wave right now.
Oh, fuck.
Anyway, we'll move away from Jim's boring dream
and to the prescription that Lanzara actually gives Michael
while he's just trying to read a goddamn book.
And it's that-
Well, the answers weren't in the fucking book.
It's a cleansing fast, Molly.
It's a cleansing fast.
So day one-
But how are you gonna get any Lifetrons that way?
Well, that's kind of the thing.
The first you've got to get out the bad stuff
that's blocking the Lifetrons.
All you get on day one, distilled water
with a little bit of lemon or orange juice in it.
One percent juice and 99% water.
Distilled water is the most dead water you can get.
It's the deadest water.
Well, not according to this guy.
I don't know, Molly, do you know any guys from Venus?
I'm just saying, if we're talking about vital forces, distilled water is dead. Go to a guy. I don't know, Molly, do you know any guys from Venus? I'm just saying, if we're talking about like vital forces,
distilled water is dead.
They're in LA, this book wouldn't have gotten written
if they tried drinking from the LA River.
That is just a solid mass of Giardia.
It's too vital.
It's too vital, they would have vibrated too hard.
The LA River is in fact too alive. It's too vital. They would have vibrated too hard. The L.A. River is in fact too alive.
Oh man.
Okay, so we're-
It's so funny.
L.A. has a river and it's just concrete.
The whole riverbed, everything's concrete.
What?
Yeah.
No, there was a river going through L.A. and we just kind of made it all concrete.
If you watched Terminator 2, the great chase scene
where Terminator's on the motorcycle,
that's the Los Angeles River.
They're driving on the riverbed.
There's some water, not a lot usually.
Where did they put the river?
They didn't put it anywhere.
Everyone just moved to Southern California
and bought cars and nature took its course.
So we've got this cleansing fast.
Day three, finally, is when you actually start to eat again
and you get all you can eat of one fruit, right?
Fruit of your choice, like dealer's choice?
A fruit of your choice, yes, including tomatoes.
He reminds us those are a fruit.
What fruit are you picking?
I wanna say cherries,
but I know that we lost a precedent that way.
You can only eat so many of those.
I think probably mangoes,
cause I feel like that's gonna actually,
or mangoes are pears,
they're gonna like at least do the most
to make me not miserable, right?
That's feel like they have the most body to them.
Mangoes are really good choice.
Honestly though, I tend to be a savory guy,
so I think I might just be craving a tomato
by that fucking point.
Yeah.
This is before all these guys were scared
at nightshades. I can eat a whole watermelon.
For sure.
Watermelon, pineapple.
I can destroy, oh, I gotta tell you,
you know what, we're gonna close out on this,
but I gotta tell you my watermelon story.
So the other day or other year, my buddy's hanging out.
He's from Berlin. He's back in the States and he's the kind of guy, he's the guy who I, my buddy's hanging out. He's from Berlin.
He's back in the States and he's the kind of guy,
he's the guy who I had my muscle eating contest with.
And every time one of us hears
about a new weird eating thing thing, we do it together.
And the thing I read about was someone being like,
hey, if you ever freeze a watermelon,
then get naked in the shower and just start eating it,
like literally shove it into your face.
Like get really hot outside on a summer day,
like doing yard work, heavy outdoor labor
to where you're like exhausted.
You've been out for hours.
You're like sweaty and sunburned.
Then grab a half of a frozen watermelon,
walk into the shower and shove it into your face
as you turn on the water.
It's an ecstatic experience.
And it actually does rule.
Definitely try that out folks.
Eat a watermelon after coming in from the heat,
a frozen watermelon in the shower, it rules.
Just with your face, washing the juices off.
It's a great thing.
Eating fruit should not have this many steps.
This sounds like some Venusian bullshit.
Honestly, did this come to you in a dream?
I ascended, Molly.
Did this come to you in a dream?
The Venusians called me when I was trying to read a book
and they told me to do this.
And so my buddy Lenny and I did it
and we both agreed pretty good time.
Together or separately?
Separately.
There's not enough room.
There's not enough room to eat.
It's the way that the second you started to talk
about this I was like, it's fucking Lenny.
There's no way.
We had a good time.
Anyway, try that.
Try that, folks.
Okay.
Is that the episode?
That's the episode.
Oh, is it?
This is fine.
This is good enough.
Did we learn it?
Did we learn it?
I don't know that we're returning
to this particular book of Venusian health magic.
But if people like this,
there's some more old alien shit we can get to.
Can we see Carol Baskin one more time? The cover. Yeah. The cover, can you hold the cover? magic. But if people like this, there's some more old alien shit we can get to.
Can we see Carole Baskin one more time? The cover.
Yeah.
The cover. Can you hold the cover?
It's so beautiful.
Yeah, the cover. I mean, I always worry about our listeners not seeing this, but like,
yeah, it's just like, it's clearly a crayon drawing of a spacecraft shooting rainbows at a woman with long golden hair and flowers in her hair
It's not a it does look like a child's illustration. It looks like the cover of a coloring book
It looks like the color of a color. It looks like a Lisa Frank original coloring book. Yes. Oh
Man I will
I learned a lot about how to heal myself
with vibrations and fruit.
Are you gonna do it?
I'm probably gonna go eat some clementines
because thereby I'm in a big bag from Costco
so if I don't eat them 15 at a time, they go bad
and then I feel bad so I make myself feel bad
by eating too many fruits instead.
How's those fucking clementines?
Look, until next time.
Now here's my question.
What about, cause I do kind of wonder
if raw meat guys are descended from this
where they're like, well he's right about cooking stuff
but it doesn't have to be fruit.
You know?
There's a lot of bacteria on raw meat.
Why not?
It's very vital.
Yeah, especially if you're as obsessed with game
as these guys are,
there's a lot of parasites in there too.
It's extremely alive.
I mean, I do like a raw meat,
but under a very specific circumstance.
Yeah, nice sushi.
Oh, I don't eat fish.
I'm afraid of the ocean.
I'm talking about steak tartare.
Oh, steak tartare can be pretty good.
I love it tartare.
Well, Molly, where can people find you and your work?
The steak tartare of writing about weird little guys.
Wow, true, just raw, raw and uncut.
Raw and uncut.
Yeah, you can listen to Weird Little Guys every Thursday,
wherever you get your podcasts.
It's fun and it won't make you sad.
Probably it will make you sad.
It'll make you sad.
But you'll like it.
Yeah.
