Pete is real. So I want to stay on YouTube is the thing? Yes. We can do another one. Sometimes when spicy questions come up, we look into the camera and without any audible affirmation or denial. I am joined now by a man for whom I have opened a separate pack. I have opened the yes or no conspiracy expansion pack.

Luke, thank you for coming on the show. Thanks for having me. Appreciate it. So, you know the rules? Maybe, sort of. Sort of. I'll play a line. Okay. Cryptocurrency.

This is perfect for the venue. Cryptocurrency is a CIA op. So you have to answer how I would answer it. All right. Let me know when you want me to do it? I have to think of my answer first. Yeah. Okay.

You do. No, no. I think it's the CIA. I meant to say no. You actually gets right. No, no, it's not. It's not. It is something that.

libertarians are ideologically enamored by. It is something that in the case of some of those ridiculous coins, scam artists are making money on, but in the case of Bitcoin and some of the more relatively stable ones, it is an actual alternative vision of money. Yeah, right? I think so. Very interestingly, when Bitcoin was still in its infancies, we were actually talking about it with Max Kaiser many, many years ago. And that was actually one of my first questions to him because he was like, we have this new currency. It's digital. It's going to be global. It's going to surpass the U.S. petrol dollar. It's going to be the, and I'm like, is this a CIA one world government currency that they're siamping us into? So, and very curiously, I asked

Max Kaiser that question because that's what a lot of people were thinking about as well. But if you look at the early infancies of Bitcoin specifically, you do see a lot of old Tea Party, Ron Paul people. You see a lot of libertarians. You see a lot of anarchists. A lot of free staters that have really been helped tremendously with this technology. And overall, if you assess it, you know, many years back when I was first skeptical of it originally, I think it's been a very net positive and a net good for the overall kind of freedom movement that it has helped tremendously, in my opinion. So, you know, it's not enough. I don't think it's an op. Who knows? I could be wrong, many years down the line when we have, you know, a thought police and literally, you know, microchips inside of us

that punish us for thoughts that we have, and then we're forced to use Bitcoin and their transactions, that trace and database, everything. Then when I'm wrong, I'll admit it. But as of right now, it's more of a disruptor than kind of a centralized kind of thing. I think that's very big of you to say that when we have brain chips and the logs, you'll admit,

you could be, you could have to be. Exactly. Okay, now you pull a card and you have to answer yes or no. Got it. Light bulb companies intentionally made them go bad. I don't even. Was the person who wrote that card literate? I don't, what is...

So I actually know about this. I already know my answer. Oh, okay, all right. If you understand... So light bulb companies intentionally made them go bad. Meaning like otherwise a light bulb would just work in perpetuity? Yes. Uh...

I already know the answer. No. Wrong. Okay, hold on. Planned obsolescence, and there's actually a light bulb that's still being used right now, still for many decades and decades ago. So if you look at a lot of companies, there's a conspiracy that the kind of companies came together

and said if we're going to want to sell more products, we have to make them products that go bad quicker. So there's a conspiracy within that with light bulbs that I kind of subscribe to that I think is legitimate, especially with the new light bulbs that they're putting in, that they're mandating all for kind of being echo friendly. And a lot of people are also reporting like a lot of conspiracies surrounding that as well.

But the ones, the new ones that have the ugly light, those last forever. Those last for 20 years. Yeah. But before that, they used to die out like every six months to a year. And I still, because I'm a good right winger, I still insist on using incandescent balls. If you can get, they're hard to get now. And they burn out every, you know, three weeks or whatever. Yeah, I prefer those over the ugly blue ones.

But blue light is also associated with a lot of negative health factors. But so you're saying that for the good incandescent bulbs that we like, they are designed to, but they don't necessarily have to go out every month or two. So then why hasn't someone made an incandescent bulb that lasts? Very good question. Well, now with the regulations, they can't because the government's mandating these ones. So you would think a company would kind of come in there, and that's a good kind of plausible kind of explanation to it that would probably maybe even disprove this theory. But I particularly subscribe to it based off research I did when I was like 16 years old on the internet. There's so much more to say.

So I have to give my answer. Do you believe they're nephalum? Or fallen or demons? Yeah. I'm just saying no. The answer is yes, but, but. I agree with you actually. Do you, okay. Yeah.

Yeah. So they are. They are pagan deities, you know, pagan gods are demons. Yep. Except when they're imaginary. And except when they're, I do believe there's a kind of philosophical paganism, like the paganism of Plato and Aristotle, which recognizes that the one true God in some misty way. But, yeah, when it's like, you know, you know, for opera, papalapa, lapathustra, you know, was sleeping with his sister and. law, whatever, that's all demons. Yeah.

It's an interesting question because there's a spiritual aspect and a religious aspect to this, but there's also kind of a logical, historical answer. I was kind of thinking you would go towards more of the logical, historical context of it. Of course, there's a lot of stories, there's a lot of myths. But for me, you know, I'm more kind of in tune with the spiritual aspects as well. So that's why I would kind of agree with you that there are larger kind of entities, demons, out there, because if there wouldn't be, there wouldn't be things like the Bohemian Grove. There wouldn't be things like spirit cooking. There wouldn't be really weird anomalies that

happen with the rituals that a lot of powerful people do that are literally trying to summon in demons. Yeah, it is kind of weird because it's, you know, I think Richard Nixon described the Bohemian Grove in phrases that I can't use on air. The most effidy, darnest place in the world. Yeah, a little, effidy, blank, Yeah, referring to... Scotch tape over that one. There's an Italian word, frociaginess. Yes, sort of like that.

So he did... And so in a way, you know, it's easy to make funnable. But then I think, okay, you know... A very Pete Buttigieggy place, you know. So to speak. Yeah. But, you know, I think, okay, guys, yeah, it's all funning games. It's all just innocent, funny games,

and you're kind of innocently worshipping these giant idols, and you're kind of... It's all just like funny games until you're worshipping demons. Yeah, and I think a lot of people also in the psychedelic world don't understand their... their kind of larger interdimensional aspects and entities around them, that they kind of open themselves up to blankly without having any kind of larger religious backing.

And once you start getting into the kind of religious philosophy, and not to sound like a kind of religious cellar, you do see it more than ever. And I think you do see it politically. You do see it spiritually. You do see it energetically, even with human beings when you're interacting with them. You can tell if someone is like demon-filled.

You can tell if someone is like just absolutely rotten to it to their core. Yeah. I totally agree. Okay, your turn. I get the host. This is the last one. You get the host chips. You keep your answer now.

All right. Pizza gate is real. So I want to stay on YouTube is the thing. Yes. We can do another one. Because that word by itself already YouTube, the algorithm, do, do, do, do, do, do. We might have to edit this one, and I keep picking next one.

Yeah. Okay. So then sometimes when spicy questions come up, sometimes we say we look into the camera and without any audible affirmation or denial, Maybe one can infer one's answer. Yes. Yes. Yeah, let's do one more. Okay.

I agree. The accepted account of Hitler's death is not accurate. That's another buzzword. Yeah. We say the Austrian painter. I say the guy with the funny mustache in the 1930s. The mustache guy. Okay.

Another card or... Oh, no, that's okay. So I got to give your answer to you. Yes. I got a good mind. So, you know, he commits suicide in a bunker, kills Blondie the day before, kills his girlfriend, does not go to Argentina, doesn't go to Antarctica, doesn't go to the moon, he dies in a bunker in Germany. So is the accepted account of his, the funny German mustache guys, is it not accurate? Is it not accurate? Is it not accurate? And this is me, I already answered.

So if I said no, would it be no, that you believe the historical account as told to us? Is true? Yes. Okay, so I'm answering for you. For you. I think you do not believe the historical account. You're right. So what happened?

What happened? Argentina? I think it's pretty clear there's a lot of sketchiness around this entire account. The Russians, the Soviets at the time, excuse me, are known for their propaganda. They're known for lying. Stalin was a horrible, awful human being that always tried to have these larger historical kind of propaganda victories. My family, being Polish, was victim to a lot of those. My grandmother and my grandma was, my grandma, who's still alive, has horrible stories with the Soviets.

And the whole occupation that they went through was absolutely awful. And when you look at Hitler's death, particularly, you look at the kind of propaganda surrounding it. There's no actual real evidence that it was Hitler. The skulls that they found, they showed for a little bit, a couple, I think it was a couple months or years. I don't remember the exact context of it. And people are like, wait, that's kind of weird that you're not really giving us

a lot of details or information about this. And then many decades ago, they released the skull of allegedly Hitler as a female skull. So I think it's fair to say that... Let's say you're Hitler. You sneak out somehow, you get to Argentina. How are you going to disguise your...

You're not going to wear the groucho glasses. You cut off the mustache. You do the opposite of the groucher. You cut the moustache. Or you just grow your hair. And Argentina had very close connections with the Germans. Yeah.

And you get into a submarine, you go wherever, Antarctica, Argentina. And there was Mossad agents that hunted down, like, prominent Nazis. Yeah, and they got, they got a lot of them. But if you're someone with the full backing of a country, all right, and people who love you, you have many different ways of hiding, you have a lot of resources, you have a lot of money. And I think it's absolutely probable. if not, maybe he was taken prisoner or used, just like Operation Paperclip here in America, the Soviets had a similar program where they took their, you know, Nazi kind of scientists and

doctors and officers and used them for their own military purposes. And painters, potentially. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was like the Hunter-Biden-esque kind of painter of that society. So I absolutely don't believe that to be, you know, true. Okay, that gives me a lot to think of. about.

Luc. Fascinating. Thanks for having me. Appreciate it. If you've not already, you must go to dailyware.com slash shop. You must get the yes or no game so you can play yourself.
