Starting point is 00:00:00 I came across this week's subject when I was recently looking for the strangest topics I could find online. Topics that could still excite and entertain my jaded brain. I wanted something different from anything we've covered in a while. And when I was mining for some wacky little gold on the web, holy shit, did I hit the motherlode. Let me just read you a few sentences from the Wikipedia page. A few sentences that made me think that the University of Cosmic Intelligence was definitely worth exploring. Beliefs of the group include that polygamy is essential for men, that the government
Starting point is 00:00:32 is engaged in weather modification and efforts to shut off stargates to alternate dimensions, and that African Americans are true Native Americans instead of being descended from enslaved Africans. The group promotes conspiracy theories, anti-vaccinationism, and sovereign citizen-style beliefs. Among Jamal's stranger beliefs are that NBA players are synthetic robots and that birds don't exist but are government tracking devices. Are you not intrigued? The University of Cosmic Intelligence. While I don't think it fits the criteria for a cult, as it's often labeled,
Starting point is 00:01:09 I do think it's a fascinating and highly entertaining American new religious movement founded by rapper, so-called prophet, and convicted child molester, Rashad Jamal White. Rashad's ideas are preposterous, hard to follow, and poorly communicated. And yet the University of Cosmic Intelligence has gained hundreds of thousands of devoted followers across social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Very engaged audience. There has never been a shortage of people in the world who are willing and able to get behind a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Man, or a whole bunch of bad ideas. The UCI began to receive some national media attention in recent years after two followers of Rashad Jamal committed brutal acts of murder. And after a group of four followers and two other young children cut off contact with their families and disappeared without a trace back in the summer of 2023. UCI founder and leader Rashad Jamal has claimed in his videos that he was sent to enlighten and inform and increase the frequency of the planet and to rid this planet of its parasitical invaders. He has called himself the Messiah, divine insight, a god sent to earth to heal the entire planet, a planet not called earth idiots,
Starting point is 00:02:24 but Ki. Yeah, this is the planet Ki. Rashad has told his followers that black and Latino people are gods here on Ki, and collectively, that they should be referred to as the Grand Cosmic Rising Family. Before he was sent to prison, Rashad took elements of many New Age schools of thought and blended them together to form the very unique ideology of the University of Cosmic Intelligence. One of their core beliefs is that they are sovereign citizens, separate and exempt from any and all laws of the United States government, a belief hard to reconcile with Rashad being sent to
Starting point is 00:02:56 prison. Turns out he's not so sovereign after all. What is it about Rashad Jamal and his teachings that have caused some people to not only entertain some of his nonsense, but to abandon their families, move off of the grid, and form tent communities in the woods, and even murder their own mother? You might think that since August 2023, when Rashad was convicted of child molestation and cruelty to children and sentenced to 18 years in prison, the UCI would have come to an end, but you would be wrong. The UCI still maintains an active website and social media presence. They post cosmic messages where Rashad Jamal delivers via prison phone calls and his supporters vehemently deny the charges against him and believe he was thrown in prison because he has been preaching nothing but the cosmic truth.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Today we will discuss the sovereign citizen movement as a whole, how Rashad Jamal, excuse me, formed the UCI, will cover violent acts committed by his followers, Rashad's strange teachings and his recent criminal conviction in another not quite cult, cult, cult, but definitely wackadoodle and absolutely ridiculous edition of Time Suck. This is Michael McDonald and you're listening to Time Suck. Well happy Monday and welcome or welcome back to the Cult of the Curious. I'm Dan Kellerman the Suckmaster. Guy who wishes he could maybe make just like a little like like a little bit of counterfeit money. Just our fun. No more than two three million tops okay and you are listening to Time Suck.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Hail Nimrod, hail Lucifina, praise be to good boy Bojangles and glory be to Triple M. No announcements today other than I hope you had a great weekend And I hope you're gonna have a great week you beautiful bastards And now oh get ready to learn lightworkers you truth seekers you fucking indigo kids starseeds you sovereign citizens and stuff and stuff. Starting out today's highly informative, knowledge is power. Let's all sign the right poorly written documents and file them in places that aren't real
Starting point is 00:05:14 so we can stop paying taxes and stop supporting an evil oppressive, soul-crushing regime until they eventually come arrest us for not paying taxes and not complying with other laws and throw us all in a very real prison where officials will not give a single fuck about our nonsensical beliefs. With an overview of the Sovereign Citizen Movement to get a better understanding of one of the core beliefs of the University of Cosmic Intelligence that it has founded itself in, followed by a timeline of the strange formation and life of the UCI. The FBI defines sovereign citizens as anti-government extremists who believe that even though they physically reside in this country they are separate or sovereign from the United States. As a result they believe
Starting point is 00:05:57 they don't have to answer to any government authority including courts, taxing entities, motor vehicle departments, or law enforcement. We have some of these types around Coeur d'Alene, which I'm guessing surprises exactly no one. A lot of anti-government types in northern Idaho, and I've never met a single one who has appeared even remotely rational to me when they've gone this far. I get having problems with the government. But to think you are exempt from laws because you sign some papers is absolutely ludicrous.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Like for starters, how the fuck can you expect to drive your vehicle down a road paved thanks to tax dollars, but not feel like you should have to contribute whatsoever to its upkeep? How can you expect to ever use a hospital, even private hospitals, heavily subsidized by government money in the US? They collectively receive billions of dollars worth of help every year But not feel like you should have to pay for access to Western medical care or or like if your house starts to burn Are you gonna be dumb enough to call the fire department? I mean since you refuse to contribute to society Why should you benefit in any way from the protection that it offers? It's a fucking laughably idiotic movement You don't like this nation's laws. All right. Okay, I get it. But then the fight to go change them
Starting point is 00:07:13 leave go find some other nation whose laws you align with or or Do us a favor and maybe just shut the fuck up Like you really want to be truly sovereign Okay and maybe just shut the fuck up. Like you really want to be truly sovereign? Okay then start a bloody revolution, try and take some land for yourself, like truly take it. And then should you somehow pull that off, well best of luck. Run in a new nation where your citizens are all sovereign and they don't pay taxes to you. It's gonna be a real dystopian shit show with zero infrastructure. The Southern Poverty Law Center reports that sovereign citizens use conspiracy theories, of course they do, and false beliefs to justify their
Starting point is 00:07:48 activities, some of which are illegal and or violent. They frequently have confrontational interactions with law enforcement because of their rejection of legal documentation such as driver's licenses. For example, in May of 2010 a father and son, 45 year old Jerry R. Kane Jr. and his 16-year-old son, Joseph T. Kane, were captured on camera killing two police officers, 38-year-old West Memphis police officer Bill Evans and 38-year-old Sergeant Brandon Pottert when they were pulled over in West Memphis, Arkansas. As a self-described sovereign citizen, Jerry had no driver's license, the van he was driving
Starting point is 00:08:24 not properly registered, also had two warrants out license. The van he was driving, not properly registered. Also had two warrants out for his arrest that he was just not dealing with. Jerry got into an argument with Officer Evans while he was being frisked. Then he attacked the officer. The two started rolling down the embankment towards the ditch. Then Joe, his son, popped out of his dad's van with an AK-47 variant, opened fire on Sergeant Pottert, who returned fire before he took a ricochet to the head along with 13 other fucking bullets and then died of the scene. Jerry was able to push officer Evans away from him
Starting point is 00:08:55 and then officer Evans was then fatally shot eight times by his son would die at the hospital. Both officers left behind widows and young children. Both officers left behind widows and young children. Jerry and Joe, two fine, upstanding, sovereign citizens, now hop back into their van, sped away. Two hours later, their van is spotted in a Walmart parking lot by Crittenden County Sheriff Dick Busby fuck yeah, not even bothering with the Richard bullshit and Chief Enforcement Officer W.A. Wren.
Starting point is 00:09:20 And when these officers approach, Jerry and Joe open fire on them them as well with AKs, both officers are shot. Both will end up in critical condition in the hospital, but live. Wildlife officer Michael K. Neal responding to the brief standoff, then rammed these idiots van, preventing their escape and saving the lives of Busby and Wren. Officer Neal, fucking hail Officer Neal, then shot through his own windshield with his patrol rifle, took out Jerry Kane, killing him on the scene, then shot and wounded his son Joe. He then popped out of his vehicle, exchanged more gunfire with Joe, who was still shooting that AK. Over a dozen more officers arrived on scene
Starting point is 00:09:55 during the ongoing gun battle, and finally Joe is shot again, this time fatally, and now it's finally over. Two officers dead, two others critically wounded, a bunch of property damage, and both sovereign citizens dead over a bunch of bullshit. The two were in the process of driving to Florida when they got pulled over where Jerry was putting on some of this some kind of bullshit sovereign citizen debt elimination motivational speaking seminar that apparently fucking no one was attending. He'd been touring with it for a while and has been going horribly. He was about to go live for a while and has been going horribly.
Starting point is 00:10:26 He was about to go live with the woman he met online who was also into the sovereign citizen movement and who was involved in a protracted legal battle stemming from her not wanting to pay a $20 county dog licensing fee. Just a whole bunch of geniuses. Also on March 1, 2023, 25- 25 year old Chase Allen was killed by the police when he refused to comply during a traffic stop because he didn't think he had to comply. Because he's a sovereign citizen! He attempted to grab his loaded gun, got it out of the holster before he got shot.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Chase and his parents members of the sovereign citizen movement. So good job mom and dad. Way to get baby boy killed for just being fucking morons. His mother Diane was stopped in 2022 for driving without a registration or a license. She filed a petition against Davis County, Utah, entities and employees, as well as the former Farmington police chief and police and a police officer referring to herself as one of the sovereign people of Utah. And just, you know, filed complaints over just nonsense. The police were like, oh, sorry to bother you, Diane. Oh, guess you get to do whatever you want, lady.
Starting point is 00:11:29 It's your world. Gosh dang. You should get yourself a bumper sticker letting us know that we have no right to literally ever enforce laws upon you, pull you over. But you know, still driving our roads that you don't help pay for. Hey, is that an AK-47 laying in your backseat on top of a couple kilos of Columbia nose candy? Fucking awesome!
Starting point is 00:11:45 Which I could do some snorting and shooting, but dab nab it, I'm a citizen. I have to follow this country's cellular laws. Enjoy your day, you very smart person who's found an incredible loophole and are brave enough to exploit it. After Chase died, the group ASN, Study Guide and University, of which Diana was an admin, encouraged members to reach out to the Farmington PD to share the chase was an American state national. That's the ASN, a type of sovereign citizen, and provide them with information about the right to travel and then it'll be like a wrongful death because you know
Starting point is 00:12:16 they never should have pulled him over because you know, he's a sovereign guy. These people are fools. The balls to send a letter to a law enforcement agency and be like, I know you have your laws and stuff but like we've done a lot of thinking about it and we don't have to follow them. Here's why. Let us know if you need any more paperwork to immediately fucking throw in the shredder after not reading it. Many sovereigns believe that they have the right to drive freely with no license or registration so long as they're not operating a vehicle for commercial purposes. That's how they they twisted things around in their head.
Starting point is 00:12:46 The sovereign citizen movement began to really gain momentum during the pandemic, of course. A lot of weird shit gained momentum during the pandemic. And according to the SLPC, the increase in disinformation around politics and health in recent years has fostered an environment where facts are challenged and conspiracy theories, such as the ones perpetuated by sovereign citizens have grown in popularity and reach. Oh they fucking sure have. Yep facts challenged constantly now. Facts considered by so many people just to be like you know just musings, just opinions. Conspiracy is now mainstream. So fun. So sad that that was
Starting point is 00:13:24 the outcome of giving a lot of people a lot of time to think during the pandemic. Like we could have come out of the pandemic smarter and more educated. We didn't. We definitely didn't. But we could have. You know, more people could have taken online college courses, worked towards various degrees, moved society forward. But instead, collectively, so many people were like, check out this lizard person on TikTok. Oh my God. Rihanna Satanic. Did you know there are at least eight states, there are at least eight states, including
Starting point is 00:13:53 Florida and Tennessee, that have now introduced chemtrail coded legislation to prohibit, quote, geoengineering and weather modification. There's no such thing as camp trails. They're as real as the earth is flat, but that's where we are now as a culture. The inmates, oh, they're coming real close to fully running the asylum. Uh, there's been a recent shift in sovereign citizen demographics with members of the movement becoming younger and more female. Uh, many now also reject the label sovereign citizen and have started calling themselves this term I introduced earlier American state
Starting point is 00:14:28 national. Uh-huh. But the beliefs and activities they're essentially exactly the same. Sovereign groups have used the power of social media to recruit more members. Recent groups like the American State Assembly and the National Assembly teach members to fill out paperwork they claim will make them sovereign and teach members how to form quote assemblies government structures that they believe are somehow outside of the US government's control that they also believe will replace the government at some point in the future. Yeah these weirdos are gonna be in charge. I'll fucking I'll definitely fucking leave
Starting point is 00:14:58 this country if these weirdos ever become in charge. Have these assemblies ever won an important legal battle to give any legitimacy to their arguments? No, of course not. Literally not once ever in history. No judge has ever been like, you know what, you raised a lot of good points. I'm gonna rule in your favor. If you take a few seconds to do a web search of do sovereign citizens ever win in court, you'll get some form of the following answer. No. Sovereign citizen arguments are consistently rejected by courts. Sovereign citizens believe they are not subject to government laws and can disregard legal procedures,
Starting point is 00:15:32 but these claims are not recognized by any court. Their arguments are considered frivolous and have no basis in law. There's a lot of these people in North Carolina for some reason. Not sure what's going on there. And check out what an academic paper posted on the University of North Carolina's website, what they had to say about these sovereign citizens. Just thought this was funny. There are few state appellate court decisions debunking sovereign citizens' arguments because
Starting point is 00:15:56 sovereign citizens almost always represent themselves and either do not appeal the trial court decisions against them or are unable to perfect an appeal properly. Also most of the arguments they make are so obviously frivolous that courts feel free to reject them without much explanation. That is such a funny way to say these people are idiots and their nonsensical arguments are not worth the court's time. So where did this movement come from? Uh, the sovereign citizen movement originated in the early 1970s. It evolved from two anti-government movements.
Starting point is 00:16:32 The first was a tax protest movement, which started in the late 60s, still exists today, uh, follows this movement have used pseudo legal and frivolous arguments to falsely claim that Americans do not have to pay federal income taxes. And look, I wish we didn't. I would love to have legislation change shit around with our taxes and somehow figure out how to provide more for citizens and also not be taxed as much, but you don't just get to like make up some documents and present that to the government. You're like, see we're done now. Just like sovereign citizens, yeah, these guys would never win any court battles.
Starting point is 00:17:04 The second movement, founded in 1971 by confused white supremacist William Potter Gale. I say confused because his own father is Jewish. Half Jewish guy, he becomes a white supremacist. Gale, just a fucking walking turd of a human, truly, formed a group of anti-government Christian identity adherents who did not trust state or federal officials. They believe people of color were not human and that Jewish people were involved in a satanic plot to take over the world. Just the classic conspiracy lore. So this guy just shits on his own family over some insanity. They identified themselves as the Posse Comitatis.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Latin for power of the country. This movement centers on the idea that county sheriffs are the highest governmental authorities. That's an interesting angle. Okay, let's put all the county sheriffs in charge of everything. Nothing against county sheriffs, but this feels like a recipe to end up like some like some place like Sudan or Afghanistan where various tribal warlords essentially just run different areas of the country. Yeah, let's just have all these counties fucking run by, you know, power-hungry sheriffs. That sounds awesome. Now this belief is based on the Sheriff's Act of 1887 which allowed sheriffs to
Starting point is 00:18:17 form a posse to assist in hunting down and arresting criminals. Christian identity is an interpretation of Christianity that believes Europeans, aka the Aryan race, even though that's not a real race, are the descendants of the ancient Israelites. It is not an organized religion, not really, might be a few backwards fucking hillbilly congregations, but not affiliated with any specific denominations. Potter's posse, as they became called, believed that they could live under common law, laws based on an interpretation of the Bible, hello Gilead, and not civil law, the actual laws of the United States. Potter's posse refused to pay taxes, filed fake property liens, and committed acts of violence against public officials. On February 13th, 1983, posse member Gordon Call killed two federal marshals who had come to arrest him in North Dakota and he became a fugitive. Another stupid shootout ensued June 3rd 1983 in which Call and Lawrence County Arkansas Sheriff Gene Matthews were both killed. In 1967, Call had written a letter to the Internal Revenue
Starting point is 00:19:14 Service stating he would no longer quote, pay tithes to the synagogue of Satan under the second plank of the Communist Manifesto. Again, look, you know, I get it. I don't like paying taxes either. I don't like where a lot of my tax money goes. I would have fucking so much more money if I never had to pay taxes. But you know, it's kind of the law. And if you don't pay it, you know, they will come after you. And they came after Gordon and they tried to get him to be reasonable for years, but
Starting point is 00:19:42 he wouldn't relent. And that led to a lot of unnecessary violence. And other law enforcement officers have also died in connection with this group. The Posse Combatantes movement died out by the late 80s after William Potter Gale's death in 1988 when he was 71. What has changed between then and now, excuse me, is the prominence of white supremacist beliefs among sovereign citizens. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the contemporary sovereign belief system is based on a decades-old conspiracy theory that the American government, set up by the Founding Fathers under a common law legal system, was secretly replaced.
Starting point is 00:20:15 They believe that the replacement government swapped common law for Admiralty Law or Maritime Law. Many members of the movement believe this change occurred during the American Civil War. Others believe it happened in 1933 when the US abandoned the gold standard. US dollars, no longer backed by the gold standard, by gold, was instead backed by the quote full faith and credit of the federal government. According to this conspiracy theory, the government now pledges citizens as collateral by selling
Starting point is 00:20:42 their future earning capabilities to foreign investors, therefore enslaving all Americans. Sale takes place at birth, apparently, when you are issued a birth certificate and apply for a social security number. The government then uses the birth certificate to set up a corporate trust in the baby's name, a U.S. Treasury account that it funds with amounts ranging from $600,000 to $20 million. God, I wonder how much I'm worth. I hope for the sake of my ego that the government saw $20 million potential,
Starting point is 00:21:12 my little newborn ass, and didn't see me as some, you know, $600,000 sewer baby. By setting up the Treasury Direct Account, aka TDA, the baby's rights are split between the rights held by the physical person and the rights assigned to the shell account this is evidenced apparently by the fact that the capital letters yeah this is evidenced by the fact that capital letters are used to spell an individual's name on official documents which you know that makes sense right we all know capital letters do carry secret Illuminati meanings on government documents.
Starting point is 00:21:47 They're definitely not just used, you know, to make it easier to read. No fucking way. The capitalized version is the name of the shell identity or the straw man and the name without caps. Oh, that's the real name. As the child grows older, most documents will use capital letters, which means those documents, like a driver's license, marriage license, car registration, criminal records, bills, correspondence from the IRS, will pertain to the shell identity and not the sovereign identity. Do you see? Do you get it now?
Starting point is 00:22:18 You fucking blissfully unaware blue-pilled sheep will fuck. So separate from these shells. Sovereigns file documents that no one reads Sometimes signing with actual blood because they're melodramatical fuck yeah, bro Declaring themselves separate from the United States and then they have their new identity published in a local newspaper, which means absolutely nothing then per the SPLC quote To tap into the secret Treasury count that they believe exists. They file a series of complex legal sounding documents Then, per the SPLC, fraud against the government or private companies by creating counterfeit or fraudulent and fictitious documents. These sovereigns are often then prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Guess how many of these clowns have gotten $600,000 or more from their supposed slave shell account? That's right. Yeah, no, you got it. Zero. Collectively, all of their filings have resulted in them receiving $0.00 legally. Again, some of them have scammed the government, but then they pay for it. As written in the SPLC report, the weapon of choice for sovereign citizens is paper.
Starting point is 00:23:35 A simple traffic violation or pet licensing case can end up provoking dozens of court filings containing hundreds of pages of pseudo-legal sovereign arguments. Similarly, when sovereigns are angry with government officials, they revenge or the revenge most often, excuse me, their revenge most often takes the form of paper terrorism. Sovereigns file retaliatory bogus property liens that may not be discovered by their targets until the attempt to sell or mortgage their property or take out a loan. Historically, these liens can be for millions, billions, or even quadrillions of dollars. These extremists bury courts in endlessly large paper filings filled with language
Starting point is 00:24:14 developed by their movement, trying to find the right combination of words, punctuation, paper in color, and timing to get out of following the law. I got the poor court clerks who have to sift through this insanity. Hopefully they don't have to. Hopefully after reading a few paragraphs like, oh that can just put this in the paper shredder. So Mr. Leroy T. Jenkins, do I understand correctly that you are in the process of trying to take out a three quadrillion dollar lien against the manufactured home you own that rests on a lot you lease, a home you bought used for $23,000 in 1988.
Starting point is 00:24:46 In order to purchase the entire state of Missouri, secede from the union, and be county sheriff of a new nation, you'll be calling Jenkins fun and free don't tread on me land. So who leads these dipshits? No one. There's no central leadership for the sovereign citizen movement. No way these anti-establishment anarchists could ever agree on a leader. Instead, there are multiple nationally known figures who all have slightly different views. Some of them recommend committing crimes like tax
Starting point is 00:25:16 evasion, squatting, ignoring laws about licenses and vehicle registrations. And this never works out in the end. People get away with this for a little while, but it never works out long term. One of the current leaders is a woman named Mickey Klan. That's awesome that her last name is Klan. Co-founder of the sovereign organization People's Operation Restoration which believes the US government is a corporation and seeks to replace officials with sovereigns. According to one of her online bios, Mickey is an avid researcher who loves astronomy,
Starting point is 00:25:46 numerology, gematria, mythology, and the prophecy of the book of Revelation. When we look back at each of the key events that have taken place on the earth plane over the past, right when I read something like on the earth plane, I'm like get the fuck out of here, I'm done. Over the past seven years, we realize that there is an entire story being played out in the heavens above, and it is undeniably biblical. We are witnessing a true miracle as humanity rises up from centuries of manipulation and mind control. This great awakening will most certainly reign in the Golden Age,
Starting point is 00:26:18 and it will be the greatest story ever told, all caps. That's why I yelled. In human history, Mickey also has her own YouTube channel where she shares her research, current events, and ascension through meditation, wellness, and spirituality. Cool, so she sounds super stable. You'll probably be shocked to hear
Starting point is 00:26:36 that she got way into the QAnon conspiracy. What? A subgroup of these sovereign citizens have identified themselves in recent decades as Moorish sovereigns or as Moors, an almost exclusively black movement that for understandable reasons wants to separate itself from a movement founded by white supremacists, but they still want to be, you know, every single bit of dumb as their white counterparts. The Moorish sovereign movement came about in the early 90s, 1990s, and like the mainstream sovereign movement, it's a collection of independent groups and individuals.
Starting point is 00:27:07 They too have had clashes with federal and state authorities, some of which have been violent. Moorish sovereigns have also retaliated against the government through quote, paper terrorism. Many believe African Americans are an elite class within American society with special rights and privileges that put them above state and federal authority. Some Moorish people believe that a 1786 treaty between the U.S. and Morocco, the Moroccan-American Treaty of Peace and Friendship, grants them immunity from U.S. law. And it of course does not. It literally has nothing to do with immunity for people in the U.S. like full immunity from just anything with U.S. It's a treaty, one still in place actually,
Starting point is 00:27:46 that was revolved around shipping and letting U.S. ships use Moroccan ports. Some Moorish sovereign citizens merged their beliefs with those of the Moorish Science Temple of America, founded in 1913. We talked about that organization two years ago in episode 339, The Death Angels, when we delved into the story of the zebra murders, a series of racially motivated attacks and murders that occurred in San Francisco, California from 1973 to 1974, the killer's beliefs were beliefs that had evolved out of the Morris Signs Temple of America. One of the primary beliefs of the MSTA is that African Americans descend from the Moroccan Empire.
Starting point is 00:28:22 The organization was founded by noble Drew Ali, born Timothy Drew in late 19th century North Carolina. According to some sources, maybe that's why I guess there's more sovereign citizens in North Carolina today, according to some sources his parents were enslaved and adopted by a Cherokee tribe. Another source claims that his father was Moroccan and his mother was Cherokee. Hard to say what the truth is, since that guy lied just about every time he opened his mouth. Drew Ali claimed
Starting point is 00:28:48 that he met an Egyptian high priest during some mysterious, unverifiable travel and the leader saw him as a reincarnation of multiple religious prophets like Jesus, Buddha, and Muhammad. Fuck yeah bro, just all of them. He was trained in mysticism and given a lost section of the Quran. I love it when people worship a God who forgot to give all the right information to their people and then later essentially had to release like a system update for some reason. Just, ah, fuck guys. Oh shit. I can't believe this. I forgot to give you guys some really important shit about how to get into heaven and follow my words and stuff. Damn it. I guess I was distracted. Maybe a little stoned.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Uh, well, sorry about that. This text became the holy Quran of the Morris Signs Temple of America. Drew Ali formed his first temple in Newark, New Jersey in 1913, but he left the city after locals became upset about his views on race. He and his followers moved around the Northeast before settling in Chicago in 1925 and officially registering their temple. And now today some modern Moorish sovereigns are definitely affiliated with the MSTA, which
Starting point is 00:29:51 is still around, although not all MSTA chapters are linked to sovereign citizens. In fact, the MSTA issued a statement in July of 2011 condemning sovereign citizen practices and denying association with radical groups, even though it itself is a fairly radical group. The Ouachita Nation appears to be the earliest sovereign group that merged with Moorish identity. In her 1993 book Return of the Ancient Ones, oh yeah here we go, Verdius C. Ouachita, Turner, Gostin, Elbae, aka Empress of the Ouachita Nation, quite a title, asserted that Moors were among the earliest settlers in the U.S. and therefore are the rightful owners of all lands ceded to the U.S. in the Louisiana Purchase.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Shit! That's a lot of land. They pull that off, I guess I'm gonna have to move after losing my house. And now before we learn about another Moorish sovereign citizen group, let's take this week's first to two mid-show sponsor breaks. If you don't want to hear these ads, please sign up to be a Spacestor on Patreon, get the catalog ad free, get episodes three days early and more. Thanks for listening to those ads. And now let's revisit the Nuwabian Nation of Moors.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Another example of a Moorish sovereign citizen group is the former Nuwabian Nation of Moors. Another example of a Moorish sovereign citizen group is the former Nuwabian Nation of Moors, subject of Time's Lick episode 252, alien sexual abuse, disco, racism, and Egyptians. The Nuwabian Nation of Moors cult. I still think about this crazy-ass cult from time to time. How cult leader Dwight York, who likely sexually abused literally hundreds of teen followers, cult leader Dwight York, who likely sexually abused literally hundreds of teen followers, built this massive Egyptian and extraterrestrial themed compound on almost 500 acres in Putnam County, Georgia. They had two 40-foot high pyramids, one black, one gold, next to an enormous obelisk, gilded, painted statues, gold painted statues, excuse me, of various Egyptian deities. They issued
Starting point is 00:31:43 their own passports. Dwight and the hundred-plus followers who lived there considered it to be its own nation. They had their own shops and cafeteria, nightclub, printed their own money with his face on it. The only currency, you know, Dwight's face on it, the only currency accepted in Tomahray as it was called. They had their own militia. Dwight York had a palace with a sex room that had shit in it like a life-size stuffed animal that resembled the character of the Pink Panther. Had a plastic dildo sewn onto his crotch. Had all sorts of shit before Dwight was arrested and imprisoned for both sex and financial crimes and Tom Array came tumbling down.
Starting point is 00:32:16 The Noabian Nation played a key role in spreading this sovereign ideology to other cities. After the compound was raided in May of 22, members were displaced and fled to 2002, excuse me, members were displaced and fled to other parts of the country further spreading this ideology. According again to the SPLC, the Moorish sovereign citizen movement has no unified leadership. Most operate as individuals, get information about Moorish sovereignty online or from paid seminars taught by sovereign gurus, right, like that dipshit that got him and his son killed earlier. I mean he wasn't doing it the Moorish side but he was doing it on the fucking white side I guess. In contrast, Moorish sovereign
Starting point is 00:32:56 citizen groups generally are small consisting of a couple of dozen followers, many of whom are nominally led by one or two charismatic individuals who profit from the promotion of Moorish doctrines and the preparation and sale of bogus legal documents to those embracing their Moorish nationality or heritage. It is not possible to get accurate numbers for how many Moorish sovereign citizens live in the U.S., but based on a survey of social media sites there's, I don't know, three to four thousand of them maybe. I don't know how serious they all are. However, an official website for submitting petitions to Congress features a Moorish-American sovereignty petition with over six thousand signatures.
Starting point is 00:33:32 But I guess it's because you sign a signature being like, yeah, I don't want to pay taxes. That doesn't mean you're a diehard member of the movement. Many of the ideas promoted by Rashad Jamal and his University of Cosmic Intelligence align strongly with the beliefs of the Moorish Sovereign Citizen Movement. He clearly studied them. Probably was pretty excited to learn about the debaucherous life Dwight was able to lead before it all came crashing down.
Starting point is 00:33:55 How he grifted millions from his followers, had his own concubine. SPLC analyst Rachel Goldwasser spoke to Vice Media about Dwight and his movement and said, The foundational reasons and some of the origin stories that they use to decide to become sovereign are different. So much of what we see with any kind of group that is African-American is really rooted in slavery and racism and rootlessness, not knowing where ancestors specifically came from or what their names were and needing to find out or frankly make up that place. Goldwasser shared her theory on why some acts of violence might occur amongst people with sovereign beliefs saying the belief system that you have separated yourself from the United States and very specifically don't need to follow laws related to the United States anymore seems to create a catalyst in some cases for people.
Starting point is 00:34:41 When they encounter law enforcement or when they determine they're going to commit what was in the past considered a crime to them, the incidents arise where maybe it's out of fear, sometimes a perceived sense of self-defense, or just the belief that the person is claiming authority over you when you feel they don't have it. That can definitely lead to violence. Yeah, of course. Rashad and his followers have also promoted beliefs aligned with the movement of, quote, esoteric black thought, which is shaped by the history of slavery and racism in the US. Dr. Stephen Finley associate professor in African American studies at LSU in Baton Rouge Louisiana wrote about esoteric beliefs in black American communities. Finley has said that many esoteric beliefs in black American
Starting point is 00:35:19 communities quote emphasized a hiddenness of reality. A reality that has to be decoded like you know finding how to get out the matrixness of reality. A reality that has to be decoded, like, you know, finding how to get out the matrix type of shit. Where black life and the meaning of black life is always something that has to be uncovered. One of the things that they may not be getting from other religious traditions is a sense of blackness, not as inferior on the margins as a slave and former slave, but as something central to the meaning of the universe. Something that holds within it secrets of the entire universe. These forms of blackness hold the key to the meaning of life on the planet. So that's pretty big.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Hell yeah! Philly also noted that among black sovereign citizens, he often sees less violence or insurrection against the government compared to white sovereign groups. They're not trying to be anti-government. They just want to be left alone. And they're not even advocating for violence against the government like some of these sovereign citizen groups, he says. That's something you rarely find in any religious group. It's not a part of them. What they're seeking to do is live a new life in a world that has negated them while finding new meaning
Starting point is 00:36:34 that allows them to flourish. Finley noted that esoteric groups could be correct when they say they're being singled out by the police because they are black. They may be a group that feels like they're not bound by public policies and laws because they answer to forces who are transcendent rather than of this earth. But at the same time there are still black people who are outside the bounds of mainstream in a world where even if you're mainstream you have problems he says. Okay now with that interesting bit of context established let's enter a timeline where I'll share the origins of the University of Cosmic Intelligence, some high profile criminal cases associated with the alleged cult, I just think like a weird group, not really a cult, and where
Starting point is 00:37:13 the group stands today. Shrap on those boots, soldier. We're marching down a time-suck timeline. Rashad Jamal White, who now primarily goes by the name of Rashad Jamal, born in Chicago, Illinois, November 22, 1986. That's when he, according to one of his many online bios, quote, entered this planet through the portal of his mother's womb. We currently know very very little about his childhood. Don't even know the names of his parents. Don't know if he has siblings or what their names are. Coat leader-esque in that way. Jamal later told a reporter for the St.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Louis Post-Dispatch that he grew up in Chicago surrounded by violence and poverty. Said he witnessed people selling drugs and struggling with addiction. Said he used his poetry and hip-hop to find a way out and that he grew up in Chicago surrounded by violence and poverty. Said he witnessed people selling drugs and struggling with addiction. Said he used his poetry and hip hop to find a way out and that he used his voice to share a message of how to free yourself from America's oppression. Rashad will move to Atlanta in 2017 to pursue a record deal. Said he wanted to become a big hip hop star, give back to his community, but then he ultimately became disenchanted with the music industry. And I believe disenchanted here is code for they didn't like his music.
Starting point is 00:38:27 However, he didn't give up making music. He just started to record and release independently. And I'll share some of his stuff for better or for worse before we're done here today. In 2018, Rashad was convicted of disorderly conduct, strangulation, and suffocation. And some newspaper sources have shared that he has previous convictions in Wisconsin for domestic battery. Was also once charged with murder in Cook County, Illinois back in 2012 but was not convicted. And I wish I knew more about these crimes.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Spent way too much time trying to find more info on some bullshit website called truthfinder.com. Not impressed. Felt real scammy. Information they gave me real fucking skimpy and it was very confusing to cancel my membership. Then tried another site called courtrec.com. Do not try this. So scammy. They tell you that they'll have your report. Just this big report on whoever you're looking for for just a dollar. You know, oh cool. And then when you go to pay on this page full of like a wall of text hidden in this wall, they let you know you're actually being charged for $480. But your report is just $1 and then you
Starting point is 00:39:28 get to have 479 more reports. How fun. I've tried other sites in the past on you know when I'm researching other topics and in my experience they're just fucking scammy every time. So stay away from these websites. But if anybody listening knows of a great one where you've personally located you know complete court records, complete ones, online records that have not been already made public by a third-party source, I'd love to hear about it. Moving on. Rashad decided to be more vocal about his beliefs in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd. Said he wanted to be, quote, a voice of all people who have been oppressed.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Which would be cool if that was true but it seems like he wanted to mislead and grift the oppressed rather than be a voice for them or maybe he actually believes his crazy shit he might he created a YouTube page named at the University of Cosmic Intelligence and that marked the start of his super crazy bizarre online following students started a company by the same name as well while he kept his first and middle names of Rashad and Jamal, he now began dropping a surname of White and also began calling himself a prophet, then a messiah, and then naturally divine insight. Ding! Yippee! In videos posted on YouTube, Instagram,
Starting point is 00:40:39 and TikTok, he now claimed to be a God sent to Earth, quote, to enlighten and inform and increase the frequency of the planet and to rid this planet of its parasitical invaders. He told his online followers that black and Latino people are gods, which he referred to as carbonated beans. It sounds awesome. Sounds refreshing. Like carbonated beverages. Blacks and Latinos get those extra bubbles. Must feel so good. Meanwhile, us whites were flat. Evil. Damn it. Rashaad began preaching to his new followers about extraterrestrial beings. Started to refer to the Earth, as I mentioned up top, as the planet Ki. And started calling himself and his followers collectively as the grand cosmic rising family. When then very quickly, he didn't waste a lot of time building a lot of credibility, He goes straight to the part where he gets to have a harem.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Frishad started to espouse that polygamy is essential for men. Not just okay, not just condoned, essential. And honestly, that's what got me in. That's why I'm a member. You know, even though I'm white and flat, I'm still part of the cosmic church thing. I'm still part of the cosmic university consciousness place. I was on the fence about joining, especially because literally all the other members I can find are either black or Latino and they don't seem fond of whites. But
Starting point is 00:41:49 when he said that we righteous patriarchs must have sex with multiple women and frequently, I was like, okay, I'm listening. I like that part. That's sounds legit. That sounds legit the more I think about it. It sounds like God, you know? That's his will. And who am I to stand in his way? I fucking can't mean. Hey! I said I fucking can't mean. Hey! Shut the fuck up, Miles! You don't ruin this for me.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Currently, Lindsay is not loving sharing our bed with Loretta, Tanya, Rose, Monique, Shaniqua, Dawn, Megan, Nancy Jo, and a woman who goes simply by the moniker of the mayor of Big Titty Town. But she will in time learn to accept it. She must! She must submit to the righteous hand of God or risk eternal damnation and no longer receive divine access to these nuts! Amen. But enough about me. Rashad also started to share some bizarre beliefs including that African Americans are the true Native Americans. Uh-huh. African Americans did not come from Africa. Fucking wake up. Okay? They came, despite all genetic and historical evidence strongly denying this, from right here. There was no transatlantic slave trade. Never happened. Mmm.
Starting point is 00:43:00 In one video, Rashad claims, quote, If you're an African-American, what African connects with you? If we really came from Africa, they would have hopped on them ships and came over and got us a long time ago. I mean, this is a great point. If Africans truly did come here from Africa, obviously, one of the massive African empires would have used one of their very powerful navies, that there's literally no evidence of ever existing, to over to America and be like uh excuse me I believe you took a lot of our people yeah dude we're here to take them back now please and
Starting point is 00:43:34 thank you and if that would have happened obviously southern slave owners would have been like oh shoot oh gosh my bad I didn't realize you still want hey fellas ladies your rides here sorry about the misunderstanding sorry about Gosh, my bad. I didn't realize you still wanted... Hey fellas, ladies, your ride's here. Sorry about the misunderstanding. Sorry about the whippings and rapes and murders and you know forced slave labor all day every day. Apologies. Peace and understanding. Take care of yourselves. Have fun. Don't do anything I wouldn't do. Rashad questioned how thousands of Africans could have ever been captured and sold into enslavement by a small number of white men and he apparently did not factor in what a major difference guns and cannons make in a battle. If your side has them and the other side doesn't, well, you kind of have an enormous advantage.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Small group of dudes plus a lot of guns, a lot of cannons, probably gonna do pretty well against bigger group of dudes with no guns, no cannons, almost all the time. Rashad also began teaching his followers that the government engages in weather modification and makes efforts to shut off stargates to alternate dimensions. You know what? Let me let me let him explain the stargate stuff to you. This comes from the University of Cosmic Intelligence YouTube channel. They have 223,000 subscribers so that's cool. This video is titled, Rainbows are Stargates, They Lied to Us, and it was posted four years ago, and it has 57,000 views, 254 comments underneath, and they all seem to be very positive.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Stuff like, I was brainwashed into thinking that a rainbow was God's covenant with the world, that he will never flood the earth again, and at the end of it there was a pot of gold. I love that I've fucking grown up. I actually was like, I really do think that there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. They continue to write, I know it's a shame. I guess I don't know if they're a grown-up. I know it's a shame. I thank Mother Key. I thank all my ancestors and Unaki, goddesses and gods for blessing me with the truth. Peace to all the gods and goddesses. Thanks. And that's from at Corbella. And now here is what Corbella is grateful for.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Here's Rashad talking about it. And this is why I showed you all 12 of the different so-called rainbows at the beginning of this video. You can see what you're going to understand is this quickly. There is no such thing as a rainbow. Rainbows are actually stargates. And this is why they got 12 different rainbows because if there was a rainbow existed, it would only be one rainbow, right? But there are 12 different rainbows because these are actually stargates and these stargates open up in 12 different locations all around our realm, all right?
Starting point is 00:45:55 All around this realm. So the 12 different locations you've seen at the beginning of this video, all right? And they cannot hide these different locations, so they rename when they call them moon bowls and monochromazone rainbows and fog rainbows and twin rainbows and everything. It's a million different rainbows, right? 12 different to be exact. That's because there are 12 different gateways, right? So yeah, understand that these, I mean, 12 different stargates, understand that these
Starting point is 00:46:24 stargates connect us to the Asgard realm, all right? But since they have hijacked the realm and took it over the last 500 years, every time a Stargate appears, we are not able to activate it. We can only activate it from our side. As far as Asgardians, they cannot activate the Stargate for our plane from their side. It can only be activated from our side. Just like they have star gates that allow them to come into up to this plane. But since the ram has been hijacked, they haven't even been able to use their star gates
Starting point is 00:46:53 to come up here as well. So they literally have to, you know, literally teleport up onto the surface or travel along the ice, the Antarctic ice wall. Dang! Did everyone catch all that? It's been a minute since I heard about the Antarctic ice wall. You know the one that keeps you know the flat earth's oceans from just flowing out into space and you know losing all of our salt water. In that conspiracy theory that wall completely surrounds the earth and is guarded by white walker ice guardians do you know that oh yeah check it out let me let me have the secret origins YouTube channel teaches some stuff just real quick they don't speak they don't leave footprints and yet they're always watching uh-huh across declassified documents lost expedition journals and old military
Starting point is 00:47:41 reports totally one name appears again and again. The Ice Wall Guardians. Holy shit. Towering figures cloaked in snow and silence, said to patrol the edge of the world. Whoa. Beyond the Antarctic ice walls. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Where no civilian is allowed to go. Holy shit! Thank you, Secret Origin YouTube channel that sadly has 381,000 subscribers and pumps out almost fucking nothing but lies and unfounded horse shit. Thank you for dumbing down society even further, you fucks. The University of Cosmic Intelligence promotes all kinds of popular conspiracy theories, lots of anti-vax rhetoric, and another bizarre belief many followers of the UCI hold is that
Starting point is 00:48:22 NBA players are synthetic robots. Fucking wish, that'd be kind of awesome. I would watch the League of Robots playing basketball. And that birds are really government tracking devices. Actually speaking of basketball, I do feel terrible for Therese Halliburton. I don't know, anybody who's watching the NBA Finals, you know, congrats to OKC. Fucking the Thunder, they played a great, great season from beginning to end. Really loved watching them. But I did feel bad for the Pacers, who also had a great season.
Starting point is 00:48:52 And that's just so shitty for Tyreese to have a great game seven. And fucking fucking ACL goes out first quarter anyway. In summary, the Guardian described Jamal's teachings as a combination of New Age mysticism, polygamy, and Afrocentric and Black nationalist ideas. According to Vice Media, experts in Black religious traditions say there's nothing unusual about Jamal's message or the way it's gained purchase amongst aspiring influencers and artists from seemingly middle-class backgrounds. There is a long history of movements that center black people in a way American society does not, and however strange beliefs about aliens or gnostic claims about a false reality
Starting point is 00:49:30 may seem, they're in some ways perhaps best understood as something to be taken more seriously than literally. That's especially true given how peaceful such groups generally are in their interactions with outsiders wanting more than anything to be left alone." So they just want to feel fucking cool and connected to some big you know cosmic saga. Rashad has also released two hip-hop albums in an effort to spread his message and in an effort to be a hip-hop star. Only the Real Gon relate released in March 2022 and Promethezen and Pain based on a true story released in
Starting point is 00:50:04 October 2023 or Promethezen excuse me Promethezen and Pain. Promethazine and Pain Based on a True Story, released in October, 2023. Or Promethazine, excuse me, Promethazine and Pain. Promethazine is a medication primarily used to treat allergies randomly, also sometimes used in pain as a pain reliever or for motion sickness, many other uses. But when combined with alcohol, it becomes a street drug called Lean, Purple Drink,
Starting point is 00:50:21 or Sizzurp, primarily, known for strong sedative effects. His song lyrics of course often promote his conspiratorial beliefs. Excuse me. For example in his song Kundalini Energy Rashad says, I'm waking up the planet while spitting in the faces of the racists who be trying to vaccinate us but be acting like they gonna save us. Feed us rat meat for chicken miseducating our babies. Priests and politicians in bed with Lucy and Satan. The organ harvesting, pedophilia, kidnappers, rapists. They love us when they hate us. It's a crazy combination.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Kundalini Energy is for sure his best known track. 196,000 views on his YouTube channel. Another 132,000 listens on his Spotify channel, another, or on Spotify, another 537,000 views on the UCI YouTube channel. And here's a little tease. This is from his YouTube channel, which has another 74,000 subscribers. ["Divine Love," by Lil Nas X, by Lil Nas X, it's the Malcolm X of the music. And walking in your purpose, then why you walking you useless?
Starting point is 00:51:26 Divine love, what you can call it, cosmic commasutra. I'm waking up the planet while spitting the face of these races who be trying to vaccinate us, but acting like they gon' save us, feed us. Rat meat for chicken, mis-educating our babies. I mean, way better than I expected, honestly. Rashad has over 300,000 followers across all platforms meaning a fairly good sized audience is exposed to these extreme messages on a daily basis. Even though he's incarcerated his audience is still growing. The University of Cosmic Intelligence also sells video lectures, crystals and
Starting point is 00:51:55 jewelry on their website the uci.online and oh what a website it is. Those who visit uci.com are greeted with the following message on the home page. All caps. Grand Rising Cosmic Family, welcome to the official website of the University of Cosmic Intelligence. This online university is geared towards enlightening and illuminating the minds of the carbonated beings, aka your so-called black and Latino people of Earth But it was originally known as key or Tiamat Take a look at the podcast live lectures music books Merchandise and more below also be sure to follow Rashad Jamal on all social media
Starting point is 00:52:39 Platforms by clicking the social media links at the top of this page Feel free to browse through this esoteric content. However, this information is not for everybody. New downloads are constantly being updated, so be sure to check back for more. All is being revealed. Remember who you are. Peace to the gods and goddesses of Planet Ki. Hashtag Now We Rise.
Starting point is 00:53:04 All is being revealed. All. And by all, he means word salad, nonsensical lectures, that can be hours long and not feature a single meaningful sentence, and also lots of crystal jewelry. The website store is interesting. Above all the items for sale are the words, all is being revealed again. By all they seem to mean multi-necklaces and t-shirts and by revealed they mean sold for high prices. They sell mostly crystal necklaces, stuff like a Soda Light Crystal chain for $119. No product
Starting point is 00:53:33 description other than just the words Soda Light Crystal chain. No idea how big it is. How about a beautiful clear quartz necklace wrapped in real copper for $200? Used to be $300. What a deal. How long is that necklace? You know what size it no idea or maybe like their black obsidian crystal chain for $199.99 All of these necklaces come with a crystal policy disclaimer that fucking killed me first time I read it Says attention all sales are final allow three to nine weeks for your order to arrive Due to high demand product can take between three to nine weeks to arrive Yep, you just said that when it comes to crystal order if product arrives broke or defunct it is not our fault Crystals are very fragile and this is the risk you take when ordering it. I
Starting point is 00:54:22 Love the tone of that disclaimer listen It's gonna take a long fucking time, okay? For you to get what you order, alright? And then when you finally get it, it's probably gonna be fucking broke, okay? That's life! Don't be crying to us about it! It's not our problem, right? Peace and love.
Starting point is 00:54:39 All is being revealed, cosmic understanding. As I referenced, they also sell t-shirts. For only $66.93. Interesting amount. You can get a basic white t-shirt. I'm guessing it's the cheapest material that a shirt can possibly be made of. And the words young, black, woke, and violent are written on the front in black. Again just $66.93. Or for the same price. You can get a plain black tee with the words, I'm reading energy, y'all reading Psalms written in white. Okay. Or you can get a t-shirt, neither black or white with a picture of Rashad wearing a nice suit, holding AK-47, peeking out of a window like he's about to fucking assassinate somebody. Again, just $66.93.
Starting point is 00:55:20 And that's it, other than a whole bunch more necklaces, bunch of bracelets, and some various polished stones and raw crystals. Interestingly, for a so-called university, other than a whole bunch more necklaces, bunch of bracelets, and some various polished stones and rock crystals. Interestingly for a so-called university, they have a separate website category for books with zero books listed. They're working on the books, okay? They've been focused on crystals for a while. First focus on the crystals and t-shirts. Books will come later. I'm sure Rashad is working hard in prison on his books. The bookstore does share the words, all is being revealed. So that's pretty neat. If you really want to get all that this university has to offer, you got to enroll. Go to the enroll section of the website and there you can get the
Starting point is 00:55:56 gold package. $9.99 a month for full access to Rashad Jamal God Talk Daily Live lectures. Oh, that's a steal of a deal. Thank you, Divine Insight. Or you can level up and get the blue package. You will pay only $99.99 for three months. So just $33.33 a month to literally get the exact same shit that you would get at the gold package level for $9.99 a month. And yet it is described as a quote money saver
Starting point is 00:56:26 even though it is literally definitely not. It's definitely an extra money spender or a money waster. You know what maybe you should get the violet package. The violet package is $3.33 a whole year. So only $27.78 a month and in addition to getting everything you get at the gold and blue levels, because they get the same thing, you also get full access to all blog posts, full access to all PowerPoint lecture videos, free 9-ether coupon, which is 9% off all music, merch, books, etc. One UCI shirt shipped to your door, one social media shout out, email info after your payment.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Damn, that blue option is looking even worse now. So sorry if any of you listening are currently on the blue plan. You are definitely getting cosmically fucked right now hard. And there's nothing you can do about it because you know what? No refunds. Rashad used to host live meditation events slash retreats in the Atlanta area. Before he was imprisoned. Now for my favorite section, you can purchase individual videos from a separate section of the web night of the what of the website at varying and very confusing price points for example you can pay $9.99 for a three hour video
Starting point is 00:57:38 titled and then he rose the truth about the Derrick Rose ACL injury. Or you can pay $19.99 for a 19-minute video called Cosmic Secrets of the Colorado Rockies. Or you can pay $3.33 for a 1-minute 52-second video called Garden of the Gods Part 1. Some of these videos offer free previews which which is fun, like the Derrick Rose video. So check this out. This is easily the dumbest preview I have literally ever come across for anything. Peace to the gods and goddesses of the planet. Hi, how y'all feeling, man? We in here, y'all. We are in here. Can y'all see me man wow uh uh rishad i mean divine insight i don't know if you hear this his lip smacking he's eating a banana that whole time like like he's he clearly he just he set up his iphone on like a table in his kitchen like a like a little island in the center his kitchen and pushed a
Starting point is 00:58:48 Record and then he's just like he's got no shirt on he's eating the banana. He's not sure if it's working yet That's the whole preview like no mention of Derrick Rose No mention of what he might be talking about on any level for the rest of video just a dude and a banana No shirt You know what what which I mean those of you who followed me for a while you know I've been there I've been a guy with no shirt and a banana in a room alone but not recording it and he was just just checking to make sure that the fucking mic is on and that's that's a preview of what you're gonna get what a world what a world
Starting point is 00:59:22 excuse me despite their leader currently being in prison, the UCI maintains an active forum page on their website and on April 23rd of 2025, so just a few months ago, a user by the name of TheTriillionaireMotive, this is what he wrote. Making this post for anyone on their journey of finding their natural self again. This world teaches you to work and maximize your output when you come into this realm when everything you need is internally to attract
Starting point is 00:59:53 slash be your highest potential. I had to teach myself how to exist and just go and sit with myself 30 minutes, hour a day, like 30 minutes to an hour a day, just to program my mind, body and soul to be and exist with peace within myself within itself. All the power you need is in silence. Silence is minimizing your focus, which leads to strengthen your focus over time. My journey for the last two and a half three man-made years have been one of hella ups and downs. I see major growth
Starting point is 01:00:25 on all levels of my purpose mentally, physically, and spiritually. I dropped out of college the moment I resonated with the truth of what I am supposed to be doing and the direction I'm supposed to be in this experience on planet Ki. You are never alone even though it feels like it. In the physical everything around you is your creation and has life and communicates same as you from the insects, plants to the elements and animals around us. The path isn't always clear, ahead, but your soul is the compass to where you should always be thriving too.
Starting point is 01:00:59 The most beneficial things you can do on this path of strengthening your core and getting back to your God Self is having set boundaries on the energy you allow in your aura. Being completely disciplined on your purpose. Because discipline is the reward in this realm. Due to the endless distractions, everything outside of your avatar is to hinder your growth as a soul. The path is simple, but it is difficult due to the programming. Find the things that interest your soul and make you feel at peace internally. Always remember this is your experience and no one dictates it but you. So just enjoy the shit and do whatever will keep you
Starting point is 01:01:33 vibrating your highest on this journey. Much love and inner standing." I like that inner standing touch. That was nice. That was deep, poignant. Also sad is this is far from the only person who you know dropped out of college after getting turned on to Rashad's bullshit. Now let's return to the timeline to learn how much Rashad's teachings fucked up the mind of one of his followers and seemed to lead to a lot of violence. Right after today's second of two mid-show sponsor breaks. Thanks for listening to those sponsors and now let's head to January of 2022 and meet someone
Starting point is 01:02:12 whose life went off the rails after enrolling in the University of Cosmic Intelligence. On January 16th 2022 in Eight Mile, an unincorporated community eight miles outside of Mobile, Alabama, not the eight mile of Michigan. A 23 year old University of Cosmic Intelligence devotee Damien Washam killed his mother. 61 year old Helen Nettles Washam with a quote ninja style sword. He also attacked his autistic brother Desmond and his bedridden uncle George Washington Nettles who suffers from cerebral palsy. Poor people. Damien's father, Hubert Washam, had left the house before the attacks around 4.30pm,
Starting point is 01:02:50 then called his wife before 7, but she didn't answer. Desmond then called him and said that, quote, Damien had killed Mommy. Hubert now, of course, rushed home and found his wife's dead body, as well as his injured son and badly injured brother-in-law. He then called the police to report the horrific scene, adding that half of his brother-in-law. He then called the police to report the horrific scene adding that half of his brother-in-law George's face appeared to have been cut off. Damien had bought the sword a week earlier. His mom told him he didn't need it, that she wanted him to return it, and that may have been the triggering incident for the attack. I can't find the video he's made so many of Rashad talking about swords. I don't even know
Starting point is 01:03:21 if he has one but this is definitely not the only time a sword comes up regarding one of his followers violently lashing out Damien was nowhere to be found when police arrived He was hiding in an abandoned house located just behind his parents property his father told the police he had been seen there But before they were able to grab him he fled in a vehicle with the murder weapon and now a car chase ensued Car chase ended with the police used spike strips to take Damien's car out of commission Damien then fled on foot was not apprehended until a deputy caught up and used a car chase ensued. Car chase ended when the police used spike strips to take Damien's car out of commission. Damien then fled on foot, was not apprehended until a deputy caught up and used a stun gun to detain him.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Police then found the murder weapon, that damn sword, in the front seat of Damien's car. His poor mother, Helen's autopsy, would reveal that she had suffered 19 different lacerations to her head and arms as she had tried to defend herself from her son and that her left thumb had been severed clean off, but an absolutely hellish way for any parent to go out. Prosecutors will state in court that Damien quote almost decapitated his mother. His uncle George Nettle suffered severe lacerations to his face, had some of his teeth knocked out
Starting point is 01:04:21 in the attack. His brother Desmond only suffered a small laceration on his left wrist from where he had blocked his brother's attempt to slice him up. What led to this tragedy? Damien is said to have had no known mental health issues prior to this attack. He'd only ever had one minor run-in with the police over marijuana possession but otherwise no criminal record. By all accounts the 23 year old seemed to have been a pretty normal young man. Was a normal kid before that. His parents Helen and Hubert Washam had been married since 1991. Helen, a former substitute teacher, described as sweet, loving, and a
Starting point is 01:04:53 dedicated mother. Hubert said that if anything Helen nurtured Damien too much. Damien's personality and behavior changed after he learned about Rashad Jamal and the University of Cosmic Intelligence in an online chat while he's playing some Call of Duty. After that intro, he started watching Rashad Jamal and the University of Cosmic Intelligence in an online chat while he's playing some Call of Duty. After that intro, he started watching Rashad's videos and quickly became obsessed with them. At first, his father Hubert was happy with the changes he saw in Damian, like when he sold some of his video games. He told a reporter for Vice Media,
Starting point is 01:05:17 I was feeling good because I thought he was done with the gaming, but I didn't know that these videos he was watching were as crazy as they are. My son started doing some crazy ass stuff. Hubert added, he was listening to those conspiracy kind of videos and it was dumb as hell. It was stupid. I tried to look at some of those videos and I can't even listen to them. It's so dumb. Lizard people and aliens. I love Hubert. He's 100 percent right. I can't even listen to that. So dumb.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Man. So what a fucking tragedy that that dumb fuckery took his wife away from him Let's hear what Hubert is referring to. This is one of the UCI's first videos is called aliens are real Science-fiction is real reality is fake part one posted September 9th 2020 79,000 views 339 comments. All right The the main alien race that is on our planet, that has inhibited our planet, that is helping these humans control us would be the reptilians, okay?
Starting point is 01:06:12 If you're not aware of these different extraterrestrial races and species that live on the planet with us, then you need to do a lot more research, you need to do a lot more awakening within yourself, which is coming to you whether you want it or not. Because we are not the only ones in this realm, and we are not the only one on this planet. Close that door.
Starting point is 01:06:32 We are not the only one on this realm, and we are not the only one on this planet, okay? So, one of the races is the reptilian races. These species stand between three feet to four feet tall. They can go all the way up to seven to eight feet tall. Oh! As big as 25 feet tall. What?
Starting point is 01:06:51 The draconian reptilian race. All right? This race is a very powerful... Sorry, can I stop right there real quick? I love when somebody is describing like size, you know, specifications, whatever, and then they do something like that with like... Oh yeah, no, they're between three and four feet tall. But they can also be like eight feet tall. You know what? Now that I think about it, they can be 25 feet tall.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Oh, so they're between three and 25 feet tall. Which is quite a range. And you could have just led with that. But he's... no notes. He's kind of... he's riffing. He's just winging it. Powerful race is a very powerful species. This species goes from dimension to dimension, He's kind of, he's riffing, he's just winging it. Alpha race is a very powerful species. This species goes from dimension to dimension,
Starting point is 01:07:28 galaxy to galaxy conquering universes and planets. This is what the reptilians have been doing since the beginning of time. All right. They sought out our planet for resources, okay? The reptilian race did. But originally our planet had too much energy. We were at a higher frequency.
Starting point is 01:07:49 We were vibrating at the 33rd dimension, right before the invasion. This is why the Freemasons like to use the number 33 a lot in masonry. Because 33 is symbolic of the dimensionary level we was on when they came to our rim. We were on the 33rd degree frequency. Okay, okay. I listened almost 10 minutes of Utter Madness to get to that particular bit of David influenced or David Icke influenced Stupid and honestly started to feel dumber by the minute. Imagine if you do not have good critical thinking skills. If you don't have a lot of friends that you see in real life. If you're living with your parents you know you don't want to be living with them as you enter your mid-20s. You start
Starting point is 01:08:36 watching videos like this. He's putting out numerous videos per week. You're chatting with people in the comment section. They all agree that this is the truth, that you are special, that your specialness has been hidden from you, stolen from you. You go to the UCI's website, you see a bunch more videos, you chat with other people there that are true believers, this is all the truth, and this shit becomes your whole world. How much is that going to fuck your brain up? Enough to eventually think that your family is being controlled by reptilians, by satanic forces, keeping you from vibrating to your full cosmic 33 degree, a third potential or whatever. And so now you gotta chop your oppressors down with your ninja sword. Damien's father Hubert said his son Damien's
Starting point is 01:09:18 personality began to change drastically in the weeks leading up to the murder. He became infatuated with the Sun Egyptian gods the underworld and weapons He purchased that stupid sword of his which as I said led to arguments with his mom and the week leading up to the attack Damien also tried to purchase the Glock did purchase some armor piercing rounds Spent between three and five thousand dollars on those dumb fucking crystal jewelry those necklaces and bracelets From the UCI store store which I went over earlier. That shit you had to wait three to nine weeks to get. It might be broken. Hubert said about Damien's purchases, some of which arrived after his arrest, when I opened it up I was just hurt
Starting point is 01:09:55 because maybe it seemed like there was something disturbing going on with him that we didn't pick up on. He ordered something he definitely has absolutely no use for. I can't understand why he would order it unless he was planning to kill us all. Talking to Damien about it all did not seem to help. Damien began to spout the same beliefs shared by Rashad in his videos. He told his parents that NBA players were nothing more than synthetic robots, that babies born during the pandemic were quote ancient souls. Damien also became a vegetarian and we know how evil those shifty fucks are. And he started using metal kick bars to block the front and back doors of his family's home from the inside. So he's spiraling.
Starting point is 01:10:33 On January 19th, three days after the attack, Damien was released from a local hospital where he had been monitored following the attack because he had needed to be tasered during his arrest since he would not stop running from the evil reptilians and he was charged with murder, attempted murder, assault, possession of marijuana, and attempt to elude, as in elude capture. Damien's bond hearing, the ADA, the associate district attorney or assistant district attorney, excuse me, told the court that the attack had occurred directly after a verbal altercation between Damien and his mother. ADA added that he had attempted to purchase a gun, as I mentioned, before buying the sword. And ADA said after the hearing, we can't say definitively whether, you know, he was planning
Starting point is 01:11:13 this attack or if it's something that just got out of control that day. Damien's dad Hubert said he did not believe Damien and Helen argued that day and that he believed Damien was not in his right mind when he picked up the weapon. Hubert spoke to Damien after his arrest and he recalled, he didn't sound like himself. That's when I realized he possibly had some kind of mental something going on there. He wasn't making any sense. He sounded crazy. Hubert also told Fox 10, this local affiliate, that Damien told the police that he was using cocaine, meth, and spice, synthetic marijuana,
Starting point is 01:11:43 but that he did not think that was true. He replaced the blame squarely on his son watching Rashad Jamal's dumbass videos. Do I think that's entirely fair? No, I mean not to place all of the blame, but I definitely think Rashad's videos didn't help. I mean he talks a lot in these videos about black people being hunted. Not just by white people, not just by the police and the government, but by shape-shifting reptilians who could look like anyone. I mean if they can shape-shift and appear as a human as a celebrity, why not
Starting point is 01:12:10 also be able to appear as your mom? Listen to him talk here about how black people are killed by reptilians so they can have their organs eaten and some kind of mysterious black goo harvested and used to make powerful weapons. This comes from a video titled, Shape-Shifting the secret to the draconian reptilian's biggest weapon the light photon. 80,000 views posted four years ago. 513 very supportive comments. The atomic bomb was made from the carbon that's in the skin, the epidermis of the skin of the blacks and Latinos. They also use the black goo that sits at the base of the spine. There's a literally a black goo. So if you are considered black or Latino,
Starting point is 01:12:52 you have carbon in your skin, there's literally black goo that sits at the base of your spine. All right. Once at the moment of what they call death, they go in these morgues and they drain the bodies of fluids. You know, they go in these morgues and they drain the bodies of fluids. They take the black goo, they drain the epidermis of the carbon. All right? I mean, they get more organs. They do more than that, right? They take the organs and eat them, drink them.
Starting point is 01:13:15 All right? These draconian reptilians, these people who invaded our realm. All right? So understand that this is why they hide these type of things, all right? They will never tell you that the atomic bomb that they dropped on Hiroshima, they did splice some atoms, but it was mostly, it was made out of the carbon in the black goo of black Latino people, alright? Dead bodies they had stole it from, or people that they kidnapped and killed to get it from.
Starting point is 01:13:44 This is a fact, family. People that they kidnapped and killed to get it from. What are messages like that going to do to a troubled, paranoid, conspiratorial mind? Nothing good. At a February preliminary hearing for Damien, an investigator will testify that an argument between Damien and his mom over weed led to the attack. Damien told investigator Archie Niles Jr. that he lost it when he picked up the sword. He basically stated that he lost it at that point in time. He just overreacted.
Starting point is 01:14:16 Damien said he grabbed the sword, chased his mom to the house, to a back hallway, did not recall striking his uncle, but agreed he must have done so after investigators showed him pictures of a bloody bed. Damien's public defender suggested he was suffering from mental illness. She asked the investigator questions about his mental state. Detective Niles testified that quote they discussed Greek mythology and a sun god and that Damien talked about dealing in crypto. And I bet they talked about reptilians at some point as well. Finally, it was reported that investigators in two other states wanted to speak to Damian because they had similar cases of people who committed violent crimes not long after they had
Starting point is 01:14:51 started watching Jamal's videos. Makes me think about his t-shirt. Young, black, woke, and violent. Later that year, another murder was linked to the University of Cosmic Intelligence. On August 14, 2022, 22-year-old Adam Simje and his girlfriend, 20-year-old Michaela Paulus, students at the University of Central Florida, were taken one last trip before returning to school for the start of a new semester. They were driving near Chee-Haw State Park in Alabama, in the boundaries of the Talladega National Forest, when they were flagged down by 20 year old Yasmine Hitter who claimed her car would not start and then at some point Yasmine mentioned that she was trying to live off of the grid in the woods.
Starting point is 01:15:33 So they had to have known she was incredibly stable. Adam and Michaela still tried to help Yasmine, tried to help her for over 30 minutes. And then when they were still unable to get her car started and ready to call it quits, she pulled out a gun and told those reptilian motherfuckers to give her the keys to their car and their phones. Her car was never gonna start. This was just like a ruse to lure them out in the woods. Yasmin then demanded they walk out into the woods with her. At that point Adam pulled out a gun he had with him for a moment exactly like this for personal protection and he shot Yasmine multiple times, almost took her out but she was still able to return fire and she was able to sadly fire fatal shots into Adam's back before she fell to the ground. Yasmine would later be found alive near
Starting point is 01:16:14 Adam with several gunshot wounds to her torso. Michaela was fortunately physically unharmed. Adam had saved her life by his doing what he did by shooting Yasmin but Michaela was of course incredibly traumatized by what she went through. The woman who shot and killed her boyfriend was not working alone. Yasmin had an accomplice 36 year old Crystal Pinkins who had been standing in the woods during the attempted robbery and subsequent shooting. Yasmin called out to her for help after she exchanged gunfire with Adam and got shot, but then Crystal fled. Michaela was the one who called 911. Michaela's mother, Heather Lambert, told a reporter for local news outlet WBRC, I don't know how Michaela didn't get shot and all
Starting point is 01:16:53 of that, but she had taken off her shirt to stop the bleeding. And she called 911 and was giving him chest compressions. She thinks he was alive for at least 20 minutes, but it took them at least 30 minutes to get there. I don't know what would have happened if he didn't have that gun on him. Fuck, how brutal for Michaela to keep him alive for so long, but it still wasn't quite long enough. And the idiot who shot him, Yasmin, hit her, was laying on the ground near Adam the whole time. Michaela is trying to keep him alive and she gets to live in the end instead of him. And what a cruel twist there. Over the next several hours, sheriff's deputies received information that there might be a
Starting point is 01:17:28 whole group of people living off the grid in the forest. A tracking team from the Alabama Department of Corrections led law enforcement to a large group of tents in the middle of the woods. There they found a woman standing near the tents identified as Crystal Pinkins. As officers ordered her to the ground, a five-year-old boy ran out of the woods carrying a loaded shotgun. Law enforcement ordered the child to put the gun down, but the child instead continued walking towards the woman before then laying the gun on the ground.
Starting point is 01:17:52 Thank God this did not go another way. This kid later identified as Crystal's son. So how the hell did Yasmine and Crystal from Oklahoma and Tennessee respectively end up in the middle of the Alabama woods when just a couple years prior they were living perfectly normal lives. Let's back up. In July of 2020, Yasmine Hitter was moving into her dorm room at Langston University, a historically black college or university in Langston, Oklahoma. A little 1600 person college town, 45 minute drive north of downtown Oklahoma City. Yasmine had experienced tragedy growing up.
Starting point is 01:18:26 Her dad died when she was in her teens and after that she and her sole sibling were raised by extended family. Family who were proud and excited for her to attend college. But then, Yasmine changed. After going to college in 2022, one family member later told a reporter for vice that Yasmine left home a year or two two ago had not spoken to her family since. She started watching those damn videos. Crystal Pinkins listed herself on LinkedIn as a certified home health aide.
Starting point is 01:18:52 She'd worked for the same company in Tennessee for nine years, never had any problems at work. Also hustled on the side, she was a go-getter. On social media, she described herself as a freelance writer and aspiring motivational speaker. Wrote a series of posts for a website called Thought Nova with headlines like, 7 Reasons to Value a Good Morning Text. 10 Ways Proving that Happiness Starts with You.
Starting point is 01:19:14 That post started with, During the current circumstances, it is easy to find yourself feeling gloomy. Not knowing when it will be safe to go to work or even to get your groceries can drive the sanest person out of their mind. It is alright to feel down for a moment but you don't have to remain there. I'm going to share with you 10 proven ways that happiness can start with you. When circumstances improve you will be sporting a smiling face before even hearing the good news." Clearly that was an article written during the pandemic when social isolation was, you know, fuck
Starting point is 01:19:41 with a lot of people's minds. Making it easier for somebody like Rashad Jamal to warp people's minds and recruit them into his crazy worldview with his online madness. Crystal's advice included tips such as talk to someone new, enjoy the simple things, have more sex, explore your creative side, keep a gratitude journal, get a houseplant, meditate, catch some Z's, sing your heart out, and stay in the present moment. Uh, sounds like a lot of good shit to me. But then at some point, both women began watching Rashad Jamal's videos and they followed social media accounts focused on black sovereignty, new age spiritualism, and conspiracy theories. Anyone else, thinking of people they know,
Starting point is 01:20:21 who got into some real weird shit online and completely changed back in 2020-2021, people who by the time all the lockdowns were over, they were just deep into some real weird shit. And still to this day are not the same. I do sometimes wonder how differently the world might look today had the pandemic never happened. Like would batshit conspiracies be as mainstream as they are now? Would those eight states still have introduced legislation regarding fucking chemtrails? At some point during a pandemic transformation, Yasmeen changed her Instagram handle from Y-Eater to Cosmic Goddess. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 01:20:57 Started mocking people who got COVID vaccines for being stupid. Talking about them being controlled by Bill Gates and all that dumb nonsense, posting pro-flat-earth conspiracy theory content. Soon, Crystal Pinkins appeared in a photo online with one of Rashad's most devoted supporters, a Memphis real estate agent who described herself as a sovereign empress. Yasmeen began resharing a lot of Rashad's videos in the months leading up to the murder and was tagged in a group photo by the Sovereign Empress. In late 2021, early 2022, Yasmine, still in Oklahoma, she's working at Walmart now, she posted on social media asking for any spiritually conscious people in the area to
Starting point is 01:21:35 contact her. In one video she said it's coming, it's getting close. I am lost myself and I need a tribe of people to gather information and figure it out together. Because that's the true way of life and getting back to who we originally were. Oh boy. Her poor family. Seeing posts like that, had to think like, well, alright, Yasmin's gone. She's lost her mind.
Starting point is 01:21:56 By March of 2022, most of Yasmin's videos appeared to have been taken in cars or hotel rooms. One of her last videos, posted April 24 24, 2022, featured her meditating and reading poems in an open field. By May of 2022, both Yasmeen and Crystal had quit their jobs. Yasmeen had dropped out of college and they're traveling together. Then in a post from Colorado, Yasmeen wrote that they had to abandon their car after a search and rescue team came for them.
Starting point is 01:22:21 They got kicked out of their hotel and they were currently sitting inside of Dunkin Donuts. She included her Zelle and Cash App information, asked for people to help her, and then she and Crystal and Crystal's son disappeared. Because the murder Yasmeen committed three months later occurred within the Talladega National Forest, Yasmeen and Crystal both now facing federal charges of murder, two counts of kidnapping and two counts of robbery each. The same month, the Yasmin and Crystal were charged and detained. Their fearless leader, God on Earth, founder of the University of Cosmic Intelligence, Rashad Jamal, formerly the artist known as Rashad Jamal White, made a special announcement.
Starting point is 01:22:58 On August 28, 2022, the University of Cosmic Intelligence YouTube channel posted a video titled, Rashad Jamal found them dinosaur bones! Dinosaur bones! Yeah! We want to see them! Dinosaur bones! Yeah! Where can we see them? How exciting! Oh my god, I wonder what kind of dinosaur bones they found. Probably T-Rex? God, I hope it was T-Rex. Seriously, no. They posted a video titled Rashad Jamal Stay to the Cosmic Union Address. In this video, which features a jailhouse recorded in Rashad, he claims he had been detained since May 3rd.
Starting point is 01:23:34 Why? Well, he'd been detained on charges of child molestation and cruelty to children in Barrow County, Georgia. What? A delusional, grifting lunatic, cult leader type got caught fucking some kid? No way! During the jailhouse phone call, Rashad made strange statements about calling human bodies avatars and said that humans are perfect upon conception but are injected with nanobot technology at birth controlled by social programming through sex, violence, and drugs, and movies, and music. So that's, you know, that's why he did what he did with the kid. He continued, I am a god and all of my people, the black and Latino people, are gods and we were made in the image of our Creator. Therefore, I am an extension of her or them and I am the Creator and
Starting point is 01:24:15 destroyer of reality. So I take full responsibility for all events that I've experienced through this lifetime. For this is what we call shadow work in the spiritual realm. He went on to deny the charges filed against him claiming he never and will never harm an innocent child. The oppressor seek to label me a pedophile because I had the courage to speak out against them and expose their lies, plots, and plans within their satanic kingdom. As opposed to labeling me what I really am, which is a black activist, scientist, philosopher, historian, philanthropist, author, revolutionary, poet, and a public speaker working hard to raise the vibration of the collective consciousness. He went on to compare himself to influential figures like Martin Luther
Starting point is 01:24:53 King Jr., Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Princess Diana, Michael Jackson, Kanye, Bill Cosby, Kobe Bryant, who he claimed were assassinated or brought down by false charges. He urged his followers to contact George's governor, write to a local judge, donate to his family, and purchase items from the UCI website. He complained about the conditions of his imprisonment, stating he was only allowed out of his cell 30 minutes a day, forced to use toothpaste with fluoride and not serve fruit.
Starting point is 01:25:24 Spoke about his bond hearing, accusing one of his attorneys of selling him into slavery by not playing clips of his YouTube videos or introducing over a thousand character witness letters. Rashad accused another attorney of taking $30,000 in cash as a fee and then not doing any work on his behalf and he also said, None of us is free from falling in frequency while living in these avatars called bodies down here within this physical realm The lies who slash say it wants you to believe is that no one is perfect and that we are all born in sin But this statement is to deceive you into accepting the wicked ways of this kingdom and could be no further from the truth
Starting point is 01:25:59 Okay, we descend down into this material realm and complete perfection But the moment upon our inception or birth we are injected with nanobot technology placed under light cold lockdown of this matrix through the miseducation of social programming, the promotion of sex, violence and drugs and movies and music, the poison of our minds through news outlets, and the destruction of our temples' bodies through modern day medicines. And the list goes on. With that being said, I have made many mistakes in this lifetime since my reincarnation as I seek to ascend back to the state of perfection for which I
Starting point is 01:26:33 came. I am a God and all of my people the black and Latino people are gods and we were made in the image of our Creator therefore I am an extension of her slash them and I am the creator and destroyer of my reality so I take full responsibility for all events. I have experienced during this lifetime For this is what we call shadow work in the spiritual realm But I have never and will never harm an innocent child or disrespect the source of all creation Which is the Anunnaki goddesses aka the black slash Latino woman And I know I read some of that already, but it hits different when you hear it from him. He's just a god.
Starting point is 01:27:09 He's just a god trying to re-achieve perfection after the Matrix nanobot stripped it from him. Rashad was briefly represented by Gerald Griggs, president of the Georgia NAACP, who later told Vice Media, there were videos played at the Bond hearing. Those videos, I believe, the judge indicated, were the reason why he didn't grant Bond. The public record speaks for itself. But I briefly represented him. We tried, voice-firstly, to argue for Bond. He had numerous supporters who were there. His mother and his wife testified. I love that Rashad was like,
Starting point is 01:27:40 play the videos. Come on. I know what I'm doing. Then the judge will understand my ascension and let me out on bail. And the lawyer's like, I don't think this is a good idea. I do not think this is a good idea. He's like, just play the fucking videos. I'm telling you it's going to work. And then the judge hears something like this. All right. Because when human beings were created by Zeus on Nirn, human beings were created to be a slave race. I repeat, human beings were created. I'm talking about Caucasians, Asians, Mexicans, and Dravidians and Arabs. They were created to be a slave race. I repeat human beings were created. I'm talking about Caucasians, Asians, Mexicans, and Dravidians and Arabs. They were created to be a slave race for Satan. And then the judge is like, ah you know what? I think it's best we keep you in a cell until the trial. A cell where you can't make
Starting point is 01:28:19 any more of those videos. Rashad said he was denied bond because quote, I was called a cult leader. I'm not a cult leader. I stand for righteousness. He told his followers, peace to the gods and goddesses of planet Chi. Peace to all the high vibration human beings. If y'all never hear from me again or my video visits are taken or they don't allow me to see my wife and kids then y'all know that everything I said was true because right now I should have the right of freedom of speech to speak my mind Now we rise I leave as I come Okay
Starting point is 01:28:52 The victim in this case the daughter ten-year-old daughter of Rashad's former girlfriend DarShell Smith Born before her relationship with Rashad Her and Rashad together for three years during which time they had a son together so he has at least one kid don't know his son's name. When Darchelle's daughter told her about the sexual abuse, and we do not know the exact nature of the sexual abuse, Darchelle went to the police. She has been targeted by his followers ever since for trying to take down a righteous man.
Starting point is 01:29:20 Darchelle would tell Vice Media, I'm being attacked by black people and I am black. So that really bothers me the most. I feel like with any race, that's your home. After everything we've been through, why would a black mother come and lie on a black man who supposedly is trying to uplift the people in a positive way? She explained that their relationship was marked by violence from the very beginning, that they met when they were both artists at the same recording studio. She said Rashad essentially followed her home one day
Starting point is 01:29:45 and then just never fully left. She alleged that Rashad subjected her and the children to screaming rants, once held her at gunpoint. She said, I felt like a hostage every single day for almost three years. Darshel went on to file a family violence petition and motion for a protective order in September of 2022. She said she watched Rashad go from an aspiring rapper to a new age cult leader.
Starting point is 01:30:07 She said she was the one who helped him set up the University of Cosmic Intelligence's YouTube channel, explaining, That was a good thing for me because he started focusing more on that, truthfully. We'd have to sit there while he talked. He was trying to preach to us. Garshel was glad to see his focus move away from her, but she became concerned when the UCI following grew larger and was aware of the mass meditations, which she called weird little meetings.
Starting point is 01:30:30 She said about Rashad's claims of a conspiracy against him, quote, I don't think the government is paying him any attention. He wants to be targeted. This has nothing to do with his university. This has everything to do with what this man has done. Period. Uh, yeah, that sounds exactly right. Hubert Washam, father of the young man who murdered his mom after becoming obsessed with
Starting point is 01:30:51 the UCI, told Vice, when he heard Rashad was arrested for the sexual abuse of a child, I think he deserves to die. I think he should die. Okay, now let's take a break from Rashad to meet some other followers whose lives, you know, some think he also ruined. On September 23rd, 2022, police arrested Leroy Leggett and, uh, uh, Kiaria T'Andrea, excuse me, Kiaria T'Andrea Jones in Athens, Georgia. The video of their arrest went viral and Leggett and Jones who go by Lee and Key, respectively, uh, claimed the officer was motivated by racism and you know, maybe they were.
Starting point is 01:31:28 But they also claimed they were working for powerful humanoid reptilian Illuminati forces and they weren't. According to the police report, the officer ran the plates on the car because the occupants were behaving in a strange manner. Followers of Rashad acting strange? Yeah, that tracks. Lee was driving, refused to provide his ID, name or date of birth. in a strange manner. Followers of Rashad acting strange? Yeah, that tracks. Lee was driving, refused to provide his ID, name, or date of birth. Then he got out of his vehicle after he was told not to. As was his right as a sovereign citizen. Wake up, cops!
Starting point is 01:31:56 Sovereign citizens don't have to follow your bullshit laws, alright? They're not citizens of the regime you fucking gleefully bend the knee to. I mean, like, technically they are, but they don't want to be. What's it gonna take for that to sink into your fucking pig skull, huh? They get to do what they fucking want because they signed some weird papers they found online. They don't actually mean anything. Keith then pushed the officer for not fucking listening and scratched him when he attempted to put her in cuffs. The officer noted there were machetes in the car. Okay, so what? Since when was it illegal, New World Order stooges, to drive around with a bunch of fucking machetes in the back
Starting point is 01:32:34 seat? Actually, I don't think it is legal to do that. If you're feeling ballsy and you want to freak out the next cop that pulls you over, drive around with a dozen or so swords in your back seat. Bonus points for labeling them with stuff like zombie ready, only use on werewolves, don't tread on me, Susan. Like that kind of stuff. Not illegal to designate a sword as a Susan slayer. I don't think. It might be. You might want to run that by an attorney. Lee and Key were charged with obstruction and Lee was charged with driving with a suspended license. And without insurance, of course, they're sovereign citizens. They pleaded not guilty at their arraignments in November of 2022.
Starting point is 01:33:12 In the video of the arrest, one of the passengers in the vehicle can be heard asking, we can't even do no spiritual practices outside without getting arrested and harassed. Not sure what they're referring to here, but I'm guessing it's nothing in the ballpark of normal. According to Vice, this individual is best known by his online username of FreeSoulTheGod, aka FreeSoul, an aspiring influencer, of course. FreeSoul posted a live stream later that day where he said, I don't have no ID. I don't want to be identified. I don't want a fucking slave card saying I am this number that sounds like a fucking prisoner to me This idiot every country tracks their residents in some way shape or form
Starting point is 01:33:51 There is not a single country in the world that you can legally enter without presenting some form of a government issued ID We are all being tracked and not for Illuminati reasons for very practical reasons to make sure we pay taxes, to make sure we can be identified and captured if we commit crimes, to make sure that we are not just fucking sneaking around from country to country doing weird, creepy, illicit shit. If the sovereign citizens had their way, the world would rapidly devolve into a state of lawlessness. He was live streaming from inside a Chuck E Cheese. And that is a fucking dead giveaway that you should take when he says seriously. Yeah, giveaway. Yeah, giveaway. My neighbor got big testicles cause we see this door everyday. Everyday! We eat ribs! I know you guys can't see me anymore, but I just immediately start bobbing my head whenever I push that button.
Starting point is 01:34:44 It makes me so happy. His wife, a lash tech- a lash aka eyelash technician who goes by the name of Ari short for Ari the goddess, Noice, asked him to step out because he was getting loud, you know, and don't piss off the Chuck E Cheese people, and she worried they'd be thrown out. Then as they walked out of Chuck E. Cheese, he ranted, quote, If Bill Gates is investing billions to dim the sun, what the fuck is going on with the sun? China is making a fake sun. Y'all don't pay attention to anything but hip-hop, you dumb motherfuckers. We came back to this planet for y'all.
Starting point is 01:35:21 Bitch, y'all about to die, and you don't even know it. this planet for y'all, bitch! Y'all about to die and you don't even know it." Huh. I bet those Chuck E. Cheese employees felt fucking stupid after that. He just schooled them. I bet they hadn't even thought, not even one time, about what Bill Gates had been doing to the son. They'd been too busy eating pizza, fixing the whack-a-mole and skeeball machines, and trying to fuck each other in the break room. According to Vice reporters who looked into his social media history, Friisoul started his online life off with normal posts about his friends in college football and then shit got weird.
Starting point is 01:35:55 In May of 2021, he posted that he lost $50,000 trading foreign currency, now had only $250 to his name. That doesn't feel true, but maybe. But he remained positive about where he was in life. Within a year, FreeSoul then posted a video claiming the government allowed pedophilia by supporting the concept of age fluidity. Does the government support the concept of age fluidity? In the context of personal identity, age fluidity refers to the concept of not identifying with a fixed chronological age or generation. It suggests that individuals may feel younger or older than their actual age or experience
Starting point is 01:36:28 or identity as a blend of different age-related perspectives. Mostly it's totally harmless. But also a great way for groomers, for pedophiles to rationalize sexual abuse. Basically if they're 40 and they're molesting some 14-year-old, claim that the 14 year old, it's an old, they're an old soul. Really, they're more like a 30 year old. And they themselves, they're young at heart and more like an 18 year old. So if anything, it's like the 14 year old is molesting the 40 year old. And that's why it's totally okay to fuck kids.
Starting point is 01:37:00 So go get it. Go get those kids. Get them. Carpe diem. Seize those kids get them carpet damn sees those kids you know fuck them I hope I just I said that last part just hoping that someone would get Cummins lot just so bad I hope somebody got walked in on and the only thing this this person walking in here is me being like go go get them fuck those kids and then they shut their phone down like no no it's not what you think so much explaining anyway a few days after his age fluidity post free soul talked about the benefits of urine therapy saying quote God is love love is God all you need to heal any sickness cancer
Starting point is 01:37:38 herpes AIDS I don't care what it is all you need to heal yourself is your own water from your own will. Your urine. You could drink your urine and I promise I don't care what sickness you got. It's gonna cure it. I've back tested it. I've done it myself and as you can see I look very healthy. Freestill has the best quotes. You back tested how? You went out there and fucking got herpes and then knocked it out with some urine? I doubt doubt it Bill Gates is spending billions to dim the Sun and drinking your own piss cures any and all diseases. Oh the wisdom of free soul Also wouldn't it be great if you could cure anything with piss? I mean, it's not like I'm excited to go drink my piss But also don't love going to the doctor paying a bunch of prescription, you know med fees
Starting point is 01:38:24 If I could knock out a sinus infection by just, you know, knocking back some piss instead of putting a call to the doctor, maybe having to see the doctor, having to definitely go stand in line at Walgreens or wherever. Oh man, I would do that in a heartbeat. What a bummer. We can't just drink our own piss and be cured of everything. Free souls also claim that aging is caused by dehydration through eating foods with a positive charge, which corrupts the divine water system.
Starting point is 01:38:47 I wondered about that for a long time. If I could just, if I could just, ah man, stop eating fucking positive charge donuts. I bet I'd look like I was 19. Over the following weeks, Free Soul posted about a spiritual awakening and fighting oppressors and low vibrational humans. Get those fucking low vibrational fools out. Talked about a plan to build an army to fight low vibrational beings, which I think I might be one because I'm a white guy, a coming war and how their enemies will try to call them conspiracy theorists. Uh-huh. So easy just to write somebody off who believes Bill Gates is spending billions of dollars to dim the sun as a
Starting point is 01:39:27 conspiracy theorist, isn't it? Instead of having the fucking balls to call them what they really are dangerous and delusional dipshit lunatics on August 23rd Friisal posted one of Rashad Jamal's videos. Next day, he posted a video denouncing enemies who sent spells Directed to mass meditation. He was doing in support of Jamal's videos. Next day he posted a video denouncing enemies who sent spells directed at the mass meditation he was doing in support of Jamal. Rashad loves to talk about spells by the way. A lot of spell talk in the University of Cosmic Intelligence videos. A lot of overall magic talk really. Check out this little nugget of wisdom. Magic is science, alright? It's just science that has been hidden
Starting point is 01:40:02 from the world, okay? This is science that has been hidden from the world. Okay. This is science that has been hidden from the world All right now Why have they hid this science? Right, huh? Magic falls between To fully use magic you have to literally have it. You have to have an in-depth understanding of biology that you have to have an in-depth understanding of biology, physics, the laws of physics, quantum physics and metaphysics.
Starting point is 01:40:32 You have to have an extensive library, mental library within you that teaches you all about herbs, the herbs, and the way they affect everything around you. Spices, because this all deals with magic. All of it. It seems like he needs to drink some piss. He's got a head cold, you know? Two times in that one minute he had to pause to snort and then swallow some mucus draining in from his sinuses. Gotta drink that piss, dude! Gotta fucking knock that fucking sinus infection out with some urine! Three days after the scheduled mass meditation, he posted a photo of himself and two other men in the woods and tagged the UCI.
Starting point is 01:41:24 This is at Free Soul. Over the next several days, free soul posted numerous photos of the group in the woods with machetes. Why the fuck does everyone have machetes? No group loves swords more than the University of Cosmic Intelligence. He went silent for a week. Then he posted a viral arrest video. Same day, he posted a link to a GoFundMe set up by his wife Ari. On the night of the arrest he posted a lengthy video of him walking into the woods saying five of us against the world. He didn't look into the video or into the camera, excuse me, one time during the 23 minute video because he believed there was a mirror inside it that his enemies could
Starting point is 01:41:58 use to send spells against him. He's doing really great. Like he's mentally very sound right now. He also discussed committing to crimes free with others where they allegedly walked into stores and took anything they wanted. And I'm guessing if that happened they probably had their machetes with them. He also discussed Dr. Sebi, Alfredo Darrington Bowman, an herbalist or as Rashad might refer to him as a herbalist who preached... I just like when somebody else messes up more words than I do. Or at least the same amount. An herbalist who preached the benefits of an alkaline diet and claimed that the right
Starting point is 01:42:34 blend of herbs could literally cure all diseases. All of them. Even though the guy used the title of doctor, he had no formal education. He was considered a total quack by actual doctors, but that didn't stop him from having a long and lucrative career and actually becoming a nutritional advisor to the stars for a while in Hollywood. Dr. Seaboo was arrested in Honduras in 2016 for money laundering, died in custody at the age of 82. Anyway, September 29, 2022, Freesoul posted a video where he cut a dead bird in half with a machete, always a machete, and exclaimed,
Starting point is 01:43:06 This is the bird. Nothing. No insides. No blood. Shit's fake, y'all. I killed it and caught it. But there were insides. And there was blood. Just not a lot. Because it's a tiny ass bird. And I would almost guarantee it had been dead a while before he found it. Dead, starting to dry out, hence, you know, less blood, less gore. Days later, October 2nd, his wife Ari posted a link to GoFundMe writing, He caught a video surveillance bird and exposed it on social media yesterday. And today they arrested him for some random shit he did not do. They're trying to keep him silent. They don't want us all coming together and taking a stand to fight for our freedom from the enslavement they have us all under with mind control and fear.
Starting point is 01:43:47 So she's doing really well also. You know, there's elements of what they're saying that I like. With like, you know, they're trying to they're trying to keep us, you know, from coming together. I do believe that for sure. I believe that politicians, as I've talked about, like to keep us, you know, fighting each other, make it a left versus right battle instead of the upper 1% versus everyone else, which it truly is, you know, fighting each other, make it a left versus right battle instead of the upper 1% versus everyone else, which it truly is, you know, I think and has been for a long time. But then they always like fucking take it to this weird cosmic reptilian place. They just take it too far.
Starting point is 01:44:17 What's crazy about all this is that these two people might actually not be mentally ill, right? There are so many conspiracy theorists who truly believe in the most bat shit. There's not even a fucking remote possibility that shit can be real. These ideas who do not suffer from any diagnosable mental illness. They've just gotten lost in a dangerous delusional echo chamber. They've walked away from the rational, educated world. Stop listening to anyone other than other people who have also chosen to walk away from the rational world and believe in nothing but
Starting point is 01:44:46 magical thinking madness. And if you do think, how? How could normal people believe in shit that's absurd? I would suggest take a little drive around town and start counting churches of any and all faiths, not picking on any particular faith. Right? Not every church preaches shit this crazy to be sure. But are these beliefs really any more extreme or nonsensical than say, literally believing what hundreds of millions of not mentally ill people
Starting point is 01:45:16 also literally believe that a random dude, thousands and thousands of years ago, built a giant boat and got two of every land animal on earth to hop on board and then floated around for somewhere between 150 and 190 days because a bunch of rain covered everything on earth but mountaintops. A lot of problems with this story when you look at it literally which which millions do. For starters, it literally cannot rain that much. Also, that many animals, plus all the food it would take to feed them for five to six months, could never fit inside any boat, ever made. Not even an aircraft carrier could do that. Engineers have proven it. But no one, his wife and his three sons built it. Get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 01:46:02 And they somehow snuck over to continents, no one in the Middle East knew existed and got animals from North America, South America, Australia. What? That story, when you look at it unemotionally and without faith, is just as crazy as thinking Bill Gates is dimming the sun or that drinking your own piss can cure AIDS. And there are New Age, Hindu, Buddhist beliefs, et etc. equally preposterous. Right? But so many of us, we just give these stories a pass because a lot of people believe in them and it's impolite to criticize religion. But it's the same kind of magical thinking. Right? All kinds of people believe in shit that's crazy. Isn't that scary when you really step back
Starting point is 01:46:40 and think about it? I mean, maybe you believe in shit that's crazy. You definitely know someone or you see someone during your weekly activities, going to the store, going to work, walking out to your from your apartment building etc. who do believe in something that's outlandish or outlandish and yet we're somehow still able to work together build cities and form societies. God we are a fascinatingly complicated species. According to a court filing, Freesole was a fugitive from justice, had a warrant out for him in Bexar County, Texas from April 2021. He was charged with sexual assault of a minor. That incident did occur in late 2016 when he was also a minor, so not good, but not a pedophile necessarily. Ari went on live a week later, claimed the police were trying to kill her husband now,
Starting point is 01:47:22 claimed the police and the judge spoke to him about Rashad Jamal about him being their cult leader She claimed neither she nor her husband were in a cult adding all we do is spread awareness and let people know what's going on Straight facts all we do is speak facts. That's all that is. There's no cult shit Just facts go ahead officer. You think I'm crazy. You think I'm crazy Start drinking your own piss and tell me how much better you feel. Drink your piss, then tell me I'm crazy when you don't get another cold sore. When your achy back suddenly feels great. See, she suggested that her husband was in trouble because of the powerful truthful message he was spreading.
Starting point is 01:47:59 She said, why do you think the judge is even talking about that shit? Why do you think they're not letting him use the restroom? Why do you think they're not letting him use the restroom? Why do you think they're keeping him locked in the car when it's hot as hell where he can't breathe? To the point where he will faint. Why do you think they're doing this shit? They don't do that shit for no reason. They're doing it because they know what he speaks about and they don't want the awareness to uh, they don't want people to know what he's talking about. They don't want the knowledge and facts to get out. Or they're just thinking about what am I off shift? I oh man i'm hoping to see that new Marvel movie or they're thinking those kind of things.
Starting point is 01:48:29 What? They're not letting him use the bathroom to keep knowledge and facts from getting out? The restroom connected to some 24-7 livestream? How's he gonna get knowledge and facts out from the restroom? Vice Media also identified a man connected to Rashad going by the name of Huncho Prophet. also identified a man connected to Rashad going by the name of Hancho Profit. Profit for short, arrested in July of 2022 on marijuana charges, possession of a controlled substance. Love these names. Hancho Profit. Apparently Hancho is slang taken from the Japanese word for boss, just like Hancho, also derived from the same Japanese word. So boss profit. Kind of cool name. These charges were unrelated to Hanchunch Prophet's association with the University of Cosmic Intelligence. However, in a GoFundMe post, Huncho portrayed his arrest as part of a spiritual struggle and claimed
Starting point is 01:49:12 he was falsely imprisoned under the Political Prisoners Act, which is not a real law. He then added that the authorities were, quote, desperate to stop I and God Rashad Jamal because, quote, I grew too powerful on the energy charts. And I gotta say, you do have to be careful when it comes to your energy chart ranking. That part's legit. Huncho's not wrong there. I remember when I rose up to a 12
Starting point is 01:49:37 on the energy charts last year. And that's why I had my truck totaled in January. The Illuminati did it. They made some black ice appear, knocked me down a few pegs. Right now, I'm just a harmless seven. By the time of his first court date, Honjo Profitt was in jail in Michigan, charged with driving while intoxicated and assaulting, resisting, or obstructing a police officer who did not have the right to arrest him because he's sovereign.
Starting point is 01:49:59 Two of those assault charges were dismissed. Then he fled guilty to the 3rd in September. After all that, on a GoFundMe post made by his wife, Prophet claimed again he was a political prisoner. He believed someone was desperate to stop both him and Rashad Jamal. This was an attempt to stop the rise of the next Black Messiah, he said, and I refuse to be another victim of this wicked evil disgusting system. Alright, okay, like attracts like, divine insight attracts honcho prophet. Got it. Birds of a feather. August 21, 2023.. Rashad Jamal convicted of child molestation and cruelty to children, sentenced to 18 years in prison, 22 years of probation. Found not guilty of a second count of child molestation.
Starting point is 01:50:37 After he was convicted, someone, likely his wife, Zakiya White, posted the following message on his Twitter account, Hawaii on fire and LA flooding and I was found guilty unrighteously. Let this be a sign that the forces will fight for he who they sent. Okay. Zakiya also went on live on his Instagram and said, the evidence was tampered with. There were no evidence. Or there was plenty of evidence enough to convict him. On September 25th, 2023, Damian Washam, remember him? The poor guy killed his mom, attacked his uncle and brother with some kind of ninja sword after losing his fucking mind, found not guilty
Starting point is 01:51:15 by reason of insanity. Not guilty of murder by reason of insanity. Back in November of 2022, Damian changed his plea to guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. His public defender requested a mental evaluation. And after review of the evaluations, the judge found Damian not guilty and in need of serious treatment. Damian was committed to the Alabama Department of Mental Health, quote, until such time as a petition for release is filed. And I do wonder, would he have been determined to have been mentally ill before he started watching Divine Insights University of Cosmic Intelligence videos.
Starting point is 01:51:47 Can diving in too deep into all this shit actually help you lose your mind? September 29, 2023, Crystal Pinkins, remember her? Lady who lured two good Samaritans into the woods to rob and kill them and did shoot one of them? She's found guilty of murder, robbery, and unlawful use of a firearm during a crime of violence in federal court. Her trial lasted four days and her former accomplice, Yasmeen Hitter, testified against her as part of the plea deal. A few days later, October 4th, Yasmeen pleaded guilty to murder, kidnapping, and robbery. Three months later, January 4th, 2024, the two women received
Starting point is 01:52:21 their sentences. Yasmeen Hitter sentenced to 35 years in prison while Crystal Pinkin sentenced to life. Days later, January 9, 2024, Berkeley, Missouri's police department accused Rashad Jamal of being the leader of a cult that played a role in the disappearance of six people. Six individuals, including two children, last seen on August 13, 2023 at a quality inn in Florissant, Missouri, little town slash outer northern suburb of St. Louis. The missing individuals were 25-year-old Michaela Thompson of St. Louis, 36-year-old Michaela Wickerson, her three-year-old daughter, Malaya Wickerson,
Starting point is 01:53:01 30-year-old Naaman Williams of Washington, DC, 27-year-old Jeriel German of Lake Horn, Mississippi, and her three-year-old daughter Ashton Mitchell. They were all living in the same home rented by Michaela Wickerson in August of 2023 when they were served an eviction notice. The missing adults are all believed to be devout followers of the University of Cosmic Intelligence. While there's no evidence that they're in danger, police are concerned because it's been almost a year without any contact from them to any of their family members. Berkeley police major Steve
Starting point is 01:53:32 Runge, Berkeley's a neighboring suburb, told a reporter for USA Today there's been no response from them whatsoever despite multiple attempts. Nobody's heard anything, the holidays have come and gone, and these people from speaking with the family members they can't believe that their family members wouldn't reach out. Some of those who disappear to change their names to a spiritual God or goddess on social media they shared many of Rashad's videos, distanced themselves from family and friends, quit their jobs jobs and engage in unusual behaviors including group nude meditation outdoors on land they do not own. So if you see a group of naked weirdos talking about reptilians meditating out in the woods,
Starting point is 01:54:09 please give the police in Berkeley, Missouri a ring. Michaela Wickerson's mother, Cartesia Morgan, this poor woman, told USA Today that her daughter said she was going on a spiritual journey. At first she said she was supportive, but she added she was so different, I didn't understand. According to Cartesia, Michaela has four siblings and a large extended family in the St. Louis area where she grew up. She was a good student, good kid, good person, independent girl, lived on her own for years but was in regular contact with her family until late 2022 when she and her daughter moved into a home in Berkeley, Missouri with some people Michaela met online. At that point she started to withdraw from her family and in March of 2023, uh 2023, Cartesia received a call from Michaela's boss who said she had
Starting point is 01:54:50 quit her corporate job. Michaela told her mom she's gonna start her own business but then instead of doing that she maxed out her credit cards and nobody really knew what she was doing. Cartesia came to the house that month saw people she did not recognize. Michaela told her mom that they were her family now and then asked her mom not to come over again. Fuck! If I'm ever in a situation like that I'm honestly afraid of how I would react. Possibly with violence. Right? Try and make at least a few people present pay for brainwashing my kid. Man, I'm sad. Cartesia chose to respect her daughter's wishes but she still drove by regularly to make sure things looked alright. Oh my god. She asked for a wellness check twice, but Michaela answered all the officers questions. Seemed okay.
Starting point is 01:55:31 So there wasn't much else she could do. Cartesia said, now that I look back, she was saying she was overwhelmed, needed a break. There were signs I should have noticed. Cartesia believes Michaela was suffering from long-term postpartum depression, which made her vulnerable to online manipulation. She said, my granddaughter was her first child and that's overwhelming. Michaela was suffering from long-term postpartum depression, which made her vulnerable to online manipulation. She said, my granddaughter was her first child and that's overwhelming. There were probably some things that she was dealing with in silence too. Michaela's behavior consistent with what other families who have lost loved ones to the UCI have reported. In one of the last conversations, Naaman Williams had with his mom, Lukita,
Starting point is 01:56:00 he told her that she was just a shell, just a shell that had brought him into this universe. Damn. Naaman secretly moved to St. Louis after Michaela Thompson drove from her home in St. Louis to D.C. to pick him up. The two met online and Naaman quote, began his spiritual journey around September of 2022. Michaela left behind a daughter who's being raised by family since she has disappeared. Police Major Steve Runge told Fox 2, this local affiliate, that while
Starting point is 01:56:25 the group was living in the home in Berkeley, quote, neighbors reported seeing these people outside daily worshiping the sun. When it was raining, they would come outside naked and run around the yard. They were digging up things in the yard. So just collectively losing their fucking minds. Neighbors told local outlet KFBS12 that they had seen the group hugging trees, burying pennies, and standing naked in the rain. An acquaintance of the women then told the police that they had likely gone quote off the grid preparing for the rapture. So this might not end well at all. Sadly it might have already ended and authorities are just gonna find their remains out in the woods somewhere someday.
Starting point is 01:57:06 Divine Insight himself, Rashad Jamal has responded to allegations that he was partially to blame for their disappearances in an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He claimed that the University of Cosmic Intelligence is just a spiritual YouTube channel and bears no responsibility. He said quote, I'm just giving you my opinion on a plethora of different subjects from metaphysics to quantum physics to molecular biology to marine biology To geography to black history to world history. I'm giving you my opinions on these things. That doesn't make me a cult leader and He's right actually Not illegal to speak confidently about shit. You don't know anything about a lot of people do it every day Doesn't make people cult leaders. It just makes him sadly, you know, one of the many people out there peddling
Starting point is 01:57:47 dangerous disinformation, misinformation, information that affects people like all information does. You know, on the one hand it's just words but on the other words do get people killed all the time. We're all connected, all fragile in some way. We can all break and too often it's words that break us. Rashad said he first heard about the accusations from a news report, wasn't surprised the police were targeting him, adding, I am pretty sure I've never met these people. I get on my phone and give a lecture. I go live and then I get off the phone. I don't know who these people are and my live stream is too many people. He said he occasionally grows tired of the persecution but he is quote standing in righteousness. We have done this throughout time if he decided to stand for what's righteous. They will come after you
Starting point is 01:58:28 He maintained his innocence regarding the sexual abuse charges and claimed the allegations stem from a custody dispute He said he's not surprised that people hate him want to punish him and added it don't matter what you call me because the end Of the day Almighty God knows the truth Through his publicist Nate Robinson. Why the fuck does he have a publicist? Rashad also issued a lengthy statement to USA Today that said in part, I want to categorically state that I am not a cult leader. I am not involved in any form of cult activities and my teachings are focused on enlightenment, not control. He once again denied the charges against him, said he is falsely persecuted because of his teachings claiming,
Starting point is 01:59:03 a black activist like myself speaking out against oppression and racism never stood a chance. Dude. You're fucking you're a long ways from Malcolm X my friend. Now finally Let's hear just a bit from Rashad's most recent video as I record this. This was posted yesterday June 23rd. He's been posting almost every day recently. He calls from prison, somebody records the call, and they keep the University of Cosmic Intelligence YouTube channel going. This is the title of Rashad Jamal, the truth about Instagram models, full lecture decoded. Almost exactly an hour long.
Starting point is 01:59:38 We'll listen to less than one minute. And what's advanced to you may seem basic to them. Yes, when a bee stings you, the stinger comes out and it stays inside of you. Well, that stinger is attached to the spine of the bee. So now the bee don't have a spine anymore, so eventually, as soon as it dies, as soon as it stings you, it flies not that far away from you and it dies. Right?
Starting point is 02:00:00 Same thing with your semen. Your semen is like your stingers, the essence of you. So when you release it, you release a big part of you, of your spirit and your soul. You release that inside of the vagina. And it weakens you. And a part of you dies. You know, that isn't real. Uh, yeah, he basically just keeps going and talking about how you like, you need to stop, uh, you know, coming. It sounds like Rashad's pretty sexually frustrated.
Starting point is 02:00:33 He's trapped in prison, away from however many women he was sleeping with, before he got locked up, and if Devine inside can't come, he doesn't want anyone to come, at least not into a vagina. Let's get out of this timeline. Good job, soldier. You've made it back. Barely. And now before I wrap this up, just one more sponsor. The following testimonial is part of a paid advertisement from the De-Programmed Immaculate
Starting point is 02:01:08 Patriotic Sovereign Humans Independent of Tyranny, aka Dipshit. Hey, it's me! It's Bob! It's Bob from Bob's Boundable Bodies Act Fruit Top Piss! Becoming a dip shit, a de-programmed imm immaculate, patriotic, sovereign, human, independent of tyranny has been a real game changer. Ha ha ha! You have any idea how much easier it is to run a profitable business when you don't have
Starting point is 02:01:32 to pay taxes? Or pay for land to grow your tiny orchard on? Or pay for water to irrigate your little trees? You know this government was cribbing my business by expecting me to pay taxes for paying paying my land and pay for water. You're getting my crop like I couldn't do it. But now that I'm woken up I'm finally paying the land and some of that ass fruit. All I need is to pay one time fee of $400 and fill out 246 pages of paperwork and I'm emancipated. I'm free and you can be too. Well if you sign up for December 31st you'll get a free machete and help defend your freedom.
Starting point is 02:02:05 Just like me! It's a great sword for defense and for pruning in a hurry! Are you ready to be like Bob and live the life you've always wanted free from tyranny? You don't have to pay taxes if you're a dipshit. So go to dipshit.com and become a deprogrammed, immaculate, patriotic, sovereign human, independent of tyranny today and live the dipshit dream. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 02:02:33 Best of luck to any dipshits listed. Also don't actually go to dipshit.com. It's a very spammy website. It looks like it was built specifically to flood your computer with viruses. Not even kidding. So the University of Cosmic Intelligence. Let's talk about it. It's not a university.
Starting point is 02:02:52 And there's not much intelligent about it. But it still speaks to a lot of other, maybe two open-minded spiritual seekers. And it's had a real, real negative effect. On at least a handful of them. And one of many places like this online. Man, there were a lot of these places. When I started Time Suck back in 2016. And one of many places like this online. Man, there were a lot of these places when I started Time Suck back in 2016.
Starting point is 02:03:10 And then it started to slow down. I had a lot of, you know, like an online company like YouTube, Meta and stuff started to crack down on disinformation. But snake oil salesmen, you know, David Icke, Acolytes, so-called light workers and star seeds, they found other places to spread information that on the surface might seem harmless. You know, who cares if some people believe that extraterrestrial reptilian humanoids walk amongst us? Who cares if some people think drinking your own piss is better for you than any medicine your doctor could ever prescribe? Well, I do. Right? I care because shit like this gets people killed. People who don't get treatment for very treatable forms of cancer cancer but stay at home and die because they drank their piss instead. People who think that
Starting point is 02:03:48 their mom won't let them smoke weed or have a gun or who want them to return their fucking ninja sword because they're a nefarious, atanic reptilian. I care because ideas like these, if enough people latch on to them, you know, if they end up in the minds of our political leaders who legislate our lives, people worried about the New World Order, people controlling us through chemtrails, people who think Bill Gates and others are controlling the fucking weather or dimming the sun. You know, if enough of these people start to believe this shit, it will affect our world greatly. And I've noticed that since Meta and YouTube and other places have loosened up on policing accounts peddling blatant misinformation in recent months.
Starting point is 02:04:26 There's been a rise of places online like the University of Cosmic Intelligence. More of these creators have been popping up, you know, all over the place. Meta got rid of its third party fact-checking program in the US, April 7th, 2025. TikTok supposedly tries to monitor disinformation, yet it's all over the platform. All Google does, from what I can tell, for the most part now is put up some Wikipedia link underneath the video to, you know, direct people to supposed truth about a subject being talked about but that doesn't do shit. And that's scary. I'm not a fan of censorship but I am a fan of companies choosing to exercise the right to not subject their customers to dangerous bullshit. Like if I owned a coffee shop
Starting point is 02:05:03 and we had a community bulletin board where people could put up flyers advertising local events, I would fucking tear up a pamphlet for a Proud Boys rally at a heartbeat. I'd also tear up an advertisement for some speech about humanity being enslaved by the reptilians. You have a right to believe whatever you fucking want but you don't have a right for some other company to give you a platform for that belief. It's more important than it's been in I think quite some time to value the scientific method, to have respect for formal education, to fund scientific research, not nitpick and demonize it. It's so important to have a society full of people with good educations, people who
Starting point is 02:05:38 have been taught how to protect themselves against dangerous disinformation because if we trend in the other direction, what if we end up with a society where people like Rashad Jamal and his followers are the norm? Where they're seen by most other people as oh very knowledgeable, very wise. I mean if that happens well hello Dark Ages part 2. The world has entered a multi-century period of intellectual regression before, where life got worse for the average person than it was, where progress in medicine and technology not only grinded to a halt, it started going in reverse. Do you want that again? I don't. So be an agent of reason. Be someone who understands that if the overwhelming majority of the scientific community believe in
Starting point is 02:06:18 something and on the other side is the Rashad Jamals of the world believing in the opposite, well the scientific community is going to be correct 99.99999% of the time. Choose education. Choose knowledge built upon the scientific method. Reject wackadoodle snake oil peddlers. Hail Lusifena. Hail Nimrod. Don't drink your own piss.
Starting point is 02:06:39 Don't worry about lizard people. And pay your fucking taxes. Get a driver's license. Stop pretending you're some kind of trailblazing revolutionary, you delusional, sovereign citizen, dumb fuck, loser, dipshit. Time for the takeaways. Time Shuck Top 5 Takeaways Number one, Rashad Jamal White decided to start sharing his unique spiritual beliefs in 2020 when he founded the University of Cosmic Intelligence. In his videos he began preaching that he was a divine
Starting point is 02:07:08 being, a prophet, a messiah sent to earth to enlighten the people and restore humanity to the perfection the reptilians and others stole from us when they built their matrix and started injecting us with nanobots and shit. Number two, one of the main tenets of the UCI is that black and Latino people are gods or quote carbonated beans. Sounds delicious. Who operated a higher frequency than dumb evil flat whites. Let's not race this, just factual history. Followers of Rashad Jamal also believe they are sovereign citizens exempt from the laws of the US and that African Americans are the true Native Americans. Number three, in August of 2023,
Starting point is 02:07:45 Rashad was convicted of child molestation and cruelty to children. The victim was the daughter of his former partner, Darshel Williams, who was dating Rashad when he founded the UCI. Darshel said in an interview that Rashad was abusive to her, began subjecting her and her daughter to bizarre rants, even before he formed his university.
Starting point is 02:08:03 After her daughter told her about the sexual abuse, she went to the police and then was harassed by thousands of Rashad's followers ever since for helping an evil, racist empire destroy an enlightened man for preaching the truth. Number four, many have accused Rashad of inciting violence with his crazy messages. In early 2022, 23-year-old Damian Washam murdered his mother
Starting point is 02:08:24 after obsessively watching Rashad's videos for months. Later that year, UCI follower Yasmeen Hitter murdered a young college student after attempting to rob him in the northern Alabama wilderness, where she had begun living off of the grid in some sovereign, citizen-esque way, also after watching a bunch of Rashad's videos. In number 5, new info, when will Rashad Jamal White be released from prison? On April 9th 2025 two photos were posted on Rashad's Instagram account with the caption free the Messiah and almost home but he's not almost home. The photo shows Rashad with his wife and appears to be
Starting point is 02:08:57 taken from inside prison. A post from May 3rd marks the third anniversary of Rashad's arrest. Part of the caption reads Rashad Jamal has been on 24-hour lockdown the entire three years. They have publicly humiliated and crucified him in front of the whole world by labeling him a cult leader and wrongfully convicting him of a sexual allegation, which was never proven in court. They then violated his right to freedom of religion by cutting his locks against his will. They shadow banned all his social media accounts, and he has been mistreated while housed
Starting point is 02:09:26 in Georgia Department of Corrections. He is the only one in Georgia prison systems being treated this way. Let that sink in. He was proven to have molested his 10 year old stepdaughter in court. The jury found him guilty. And I haven't seen any pics of him nailed to a cross
Starting point is 02:09:41 so I don't think he's been crucified. According to information found on the Georgia Department of Corrections website, if he doesn't get in any more trouble, he'll be out of prison at the very latest, May 2nd, 2040. A lot of people hope he'll be out a lot sooner. If you take a look on his social media profiles, you can see thousands of people still believe in his innocence. There's a petition on Change.org demanding a retrial, has nearly 4,000 signatures. Another petition on the site moveon.org has almost 12,000 signatures, still receiving support currently.
Starting point is 02:10:12 Luckily, I don't think it matters how many people sign them. For the moment, we at least still have judges who do not believe in Rashad's crazy ass claims. Not yet. But if enough people spend more time learning about how life quote works from the internet and not from school Well, then who knows all bets are off The University of Cosmic Intelligence has been sucked. Thank you to the bad magic productions team for all their help in making time suck Thank you to Queen of Bad Magic Lindsay Cummins Thanks to Logan Keith helping to publish this episode designing merch for the
Starting point is 02:10:46 store at badmagicproductions.com. Thank you again to Olivia Lee for her initial research. Also thanks to the all-seen eyes moderating the Cult of the Curious private Facebook page, the Mod Squad making sure Discord keeps running smooth, and everybody over on the Time Suck subreddit and Bad Magic subreddit. And now let's head on over to this week's Time Sucker updates. Updates! Get your Time Sucker updates! Let's start off this week with some good news. I like good news. I bet you do. Jared Hansen, excuse me, Hansen. Jared Hansen is a sweet sucker and
Starting point is 02:11:23 a hard-working sack. And he sent an email to bojangles at timesuckpodcast.com with the subject line of meet local hot hard father daddies dripping with olive oil. Immediately, I of course was very erect. So I opened the message. Sadly, I didn't see pictures, but happy to share what he wrote. Hello master sucker. Now that I have your attention with images of hot hard Italian father daddies, Sadly I didn't see pictures, but happy to share what he wrote. Hello, Master Sucker. Now that I have your attention with images of hot, hard Italian father daddies, I have an important message for you. I've been an avid listener of Time Sucks since before Bojangles first appeared and declared
Starting point is 02:11:54 his undying hatred for communism. I've also been a huge fan of your comedy since Crazy with a capital F, and certain numerous hilarious and impressive callbacks to the podcast and your standup. It has been an absolute joy seeing your show evolve over the years. Your passion, creativity, and dedication have been major inspirations to me. Oh thanks. And judging from the thousands of emails most of the other members of the Cult of the Curious. This past May I graduated with my Masters in Fine Arts in Theater Technology and Design from Texas Tech University,
Starting point is 02:12:21 RecumTech. Because of that, I'm actually about 25 episodes behind because grad school is a major time suck pun intended. So I thought it'd be really cool to type out a message and hear it when I finally catch up in a couple months. So please bear with me as I type out my story. Excuse me. In April of 2024, I checked myself into the hospital for suicidal ideations.
Starting point is 02:12:41 I've been depressed, participated in some self-destructive tendencies, and I was fully prepared to walk away from life. I just wanted the pain to stop. I felt like a failure. I was struggling in my marriage, struggling in grad school, struggling creatively, and struggling with my own self-identity. I didn't like the person I saw in the mirror. I was burnt out, kept sinking further and further into depression. I felt like a burden and a disappointment. What a bummer. Luckily I'm married to the single most incredible person on this planet. She
Starting point is 02:13:08 saw the warning signs, convinced me to get help. I started going to therapy and now I can write you this message as a master in fine arts, an MFA, or a motherfucking artist. I start my first big boy job in August. I will be a carpentry shop supervisor at a local community college. I could not be more proud and thankful for all that lies in front of me. The next chapter is going to be amazing. Your show and your comedy have been a constant in my life and while I was pulling myself out of the darkness, you helped me laugh and learn. This community is special Mr. D Reverend Professor Community Commons Esquire and you should be proud of everything you've built for all those
Starting point is 02:13:40 weirdos space lizard and Illuminati puppets. Thanks to everyone at Bad Magic and all the Space Lizards. Y'all inspire me every day with your creativity, curiosity, and love for every meat sack on this spinning ball of dirt and water. Lastly, if I could shout out my wife, Sydney, she is starting her dream job as a cardiac nurse, and I couldn't be prouder of her. Sydney, I love you. Thank you for seeing the diamond under all this rough. I'm working on shining every day for you. My soft-shamed cock rises to salute you. Anyway, I'm rambling, but I will not apologize for the length or girth. Hail Nimrod. Bow down to our corporate overlords. The good God Amway and Bear Evil. Good God Amway and Bear Evil, Incorporated.
Starting point is 02:14:24 All the love, your loyal spacers and graduate of Chikatilo's Wrestling and A-hole Air Banjo Academies that were having a two-for-one deal. Jared Hansen MFA. Ah, fuck Jared, that's awesome, man. I'm just virtually meeting you but now I feel like I've known you for years and I'm so fucking proud of you. You're ready to check out of the hotel room of your life and damn think about all that you would have missed if you would have done that. No more dream job, no more dream wife, no more riding Sydney's sweet shiny firm bike around the block and taking it off of ramps and trying to do tricks while also respectfully not wrecking it or leaving it in some muddy ditch. Your soft
Starting point is 02:15:02 shamecock would be worm food instead of at least two to three hard inches of pure pleasure. Seriously, I hope your story inspires others. I hope you repay Sydney's devotion by going down on her until you lose feeling in your jaw and have to consult a nerve specialist. Thanks for letting me know that I helped you in some small way. Thanks for thanking this community. And now go make a new set for West Side Story. It looks so good that you're gonna lose your hand in a tragic high five accident. Hail Nimrod and congrats again. Next up, concerned sucker Al, not his real name, but I do have his real name in my possession, he fell for my fucking trick last week.
Starting point is 02:15:42 I asked for political messages so I could report anyone who doesn't think things are perfect right now to Homeland Security in the hopes they will be publicly executed for treason. Anyway, Al wrote, Hi Dan, this is my third attempt writing this. On a recent episode you opened the door for us to have a conversation about the current situation in the US. It was difficult putting my thoughts together, but a few recent events
Starting point is 02:16:05 really helped me frame my position. The first event was the preamble leading up to the 2024 election. Having an opinion different from my own is understandable. Having a different perspective is equally understandable. But this time I believe we'd gone too far. Many of us Americans became so heavily entrenched in our positions that rational conversation was too often a bridge too far.
Starting point is 02:16:28 This unbudging stance led so many decent humans to place political influencers, talking heads, and politicians on pedestals typically reserved for religious deities. These people are not demigods. I propose they are probably more fallible than the rest of us since they are completely in the public sphere. Similarly, even a broken clock is right twice a day, so even a moron has the ability to occasionally make a valid argument. Many of us fell into and many likely still find ourselves in a trap of stagnation where rationality is given to emotion and the ability to concede to a valid opposing point is comparable to admitting the tooth fairy is real.
Starting point is 02:17:04 A second event is the turmoil following the election. Decent people are being vilified for something they have no control over, such as a place of birth, or made into pariahs for vocalizing a viewpoint unparalleled to the dominant norm. Both of these factors are exactly why the United States exists. A large number of these same decent people are being detained by the aforementioned or for the aforementioned reasons. Just today a former Marine's wife and mother of two small children was detained by ICE when she was brought here as a child under asylum. If we weren't living through it I doubt I'd believe it. Finally the twisting of reality is completely absurd. I don't mean foreign states but Americans spin-doctoring to a degree that to a discerning ear even honestly
Starting point is 02:17:44 sounds like a lie. We've moved well beyond taking it with a grain of salt. For me these events are very troubling. I love my country for what it can be and deeply and I'm deeply saddened by our collective failure to live up to the idea that we're a nation of independence, freedom, and decency. We gave up the moniker of brave and our inability to face our nation's past mistakes and troublesome history. I hate having hope, but I do have hope for our future and truly want the opposite end of today's nightmare to be a better tomorrow. Sincerely, another meat sack who happens to be American. P.S. I'd appreciate you not including my identity with this. If you need to call me anything,
Starting point is 02:18:18 just call me out. I hope that is a Paul Simon reference. I used to, as a kid, randomly like singing that song to my grandma Betty, which is weird. There's some lyric in that of, You can call me Betty and Betty when you call, or I guess it'd be, I can call you Betty and Betty when you call me you can call me out. Anyway, call me out. Listen Al, you just fucked up big time. You're probably being held in prison as I share this, and I hope you are. How fucking dare you not pick a political party, worship them, only believe that everything they do is the best while also demonizing the other party and refusing to believe any of their members are capable of anything
Starting point is 02:18:52 other than evil acts. For real though. Yeah, we need to be able to not just talk to one another but also you know be able to criticize each other's beliefs and accept that some of the criticism is valid. And you can't do that with someone who crosses the line of supporting a political agenda into worshipping political leaders. And that's fucking wildly unhealthy. And frankly, just super childish. They're just people, just like us. They're not fucking ordained by God. They get shit right sometimes and they get shit wrong sometimes. And they have their biases and they have their agendas and all that goes with being human. All of them. That goes for Trump, goes for every Republican,
Starting point is 02:19:31 goes for every Democrat. We cannot improve things overall if we can't hear the other side. If we only hold our side up as like, oh my god they're the greatest ever and the other side is the worst ever. Right? We have to like actually listen, talk, be like, okay, I see your point sometimes. Or, you know, try to get the other person to see our point. Literally the best relationship advice I ever got was when having an argument with your partner over something you don't see eye to eye on, entertain the possibility that they're right and you're wrong.
Starting point is 02:20:00 As opposed to just going in guns blazing with this attitude of like, I'm definitely right. You're definitely gonna apologize Right since reading that advice. I've had so many heated conversations with Lindsay. We're going in I definitely felt like no fucking way. She has a leg to stand on here. She is 100% wrong Obviously, and she should admit it and apologize and you know what and sometimes she has been wrong But other times I was way off base And you know what? And sometimes she has been wrong. But other times I was way off base. And most of the time we were both wrong in some ways and both right in other ways. And we would compromise, improve our relationship, get better and stronger. And I would love
Starting point is 02:20:35 to see some version of that on a national level. And I know we're all not going to agree on everything. And I know there are some things that many people very strongly feel are atrocious and there is no compromise and I understand that and I'm with you. Maybe I'm a fool but just like you Al I do have hope for the future as well that we can learn a lot from these tumultuous times. I've been going on for a fucking while now. Frustrated Sack. Blake thanks for sending that in now. Frustrated Sack Blake Houser also chose to join the conversation and has taken action. And here's what Blake has to say. Hi Dan and the Bad Magic crew.
Starting point is 02:21:10 I know your whole crew is politically active against any injustice in this world and I do not know who else to share this with. I've never spoken publicly about politics before. I'm a working class Republican and I voted for Trump. But after the Iran strike, I can't stay silent. I wrote an open letter to JD Vance It's not picked up much traction, but I know damn Well, I'm not alone in my feelings regarding this and I figured if it would strike with anyone it would be with you And then there's a link to the letter on medium comm at JD Vance act now
Starting point is 02:21:40 Slash from a Republican who voted for President Donald Trump and regrets it and then like goes on to say I Will not die for Israel. I didn't vote for this war. Appreciate your time either way. Thanks for giving people a platform when it matters. Sincerely, a multi-year Time Suck listener. PS love the show. You guys give people a voice when it matters and entertainment when the world gets dark and thanks for that. Well Blake, yeah, thank you for speaking up. I read your open letter on medium.com and I left a comment, I hope you see it. I love that you wrote it, right? When politicians, any politicians, make campaign pledges from any party, pledges that have earned your vote, well they should be held
Starting point is 02:22:17 accountable for either following through on that pledge or not. And if they don't follow through, you know, we should be writing letters. We should be speaking up. We shouldn't just vote for them again. We shouldn't vote for other politicians who do not hold them accountable. You know, just like I mentioned last week, I love seeing more people speaking out, writing letters, protesting, etc. And this should happen regardless of who is in charge or what party is in charge, right? Think about what your country means to you, what you want it to be, what you want it to look like. Don't just vote for politicians when they promise to deliver on your
Starting point is 02:22:49 vision. Criticize and protest them when they don't follow through. You know, apathy and disillusionment is what I think a lot of them want. And I love seeing more people of various ideologies, right, getting more involved. And actually, maybe, I don't know, maybe it's just in our community. But I've also noticed like just emails coming in and stuff. They're less aggressive. They're just more like, I don't know, man. I don't know what's going on. You know, I voted for him. I didn't vote for him. You know, whatever, either way. You know, I like this. I didn't like this. And, but now I can see some other people's points. It's less aggressive than it was, I don't know, maybe even three, four months ago or over the last, I don't know, many years.
Starting point is 02:23:30 Where seven, eight years, nine years, fucking whatever. When like if you spoke about something that didn't align with the other side, man, we would get a lot of messages that I've just never shared because I didn't want to like promote a cycle of just negativity. But a lot of stuff would just, you know, just basically being like, fuck you, man. Thought you were a fucking one of the good people. Just like, just emotional anger. And I'm seeing less of that.
Starting point is 02:23:51 I hope, I hope that's just not here. I hope it's like, you know, in the culture at large. Yeah. Yeah. We've got to keep talking, not just name calling. And I love this. So thank you guys for sending in these messages and that's all for this week. Next time, suckers. I needed that. We all did.
Starting point is 02:24:12 Well thanks for listening to another Bad Magic Productions podcast. Be sure and rate and review this show if you haven't already. Please and thanks. Please don't start any online university. This sells mostly overpriced, probably broken crystal necklaces and bracelets and nonsensical videos that you recorded with your shirt off while eating some fucking bananas that you never went back and edited this week be better than that so much better and keep on sucking Just a little bit more wisdom now before you move on, you know, with the rest of your day. The sound quality is not great here because Divine Insight had, I don't know, some technical problems with this video. But who cares?
Starting point is 02:25:01 Because the knowledge is so divine. This is from a video called Rashad Jamal says that Arizona... This is from a video called Rashad Jamal says that Arizona is really Africa. Enjoy. Y'all be lying all the time, man. We ain't like them. Y'all still ain't even admitted Santa Claus ain't real. Like. He's so frustrated. Oh my God. I know. Like y'all just like y'all daddy.
Starting point is 02:25:39 He ain't shit, that's why y'all ain't shit. I can tell Satan y'all dead. Y'all just like Zeus bitch ass. That's why he ain't shit and that's why y'all ain't shit. I could tell Satan y'all did. Y'all just like Zeus bitch ass. That's why he ain't shit and that's why y'all ain't shit. You know what I'm saying? This is lying to be lying for no reason. Like, gee, niggas wouldn't have been mad. Like, oh damn, we could access Africa right from here, nigga. No wonder Arizona got some type of sunsets and the terrain is different from Vegas. And it's right next to Vegas and it's right next to Texas. But somehow when you get to get Arizona you get all magical and shit in
Starting point is 02:26:06 the sky and shit like what's that all about you know what I'm saying what's all this all magical vibe shit about when you pass through Arizona like I don't know if y'all have been Arizona I'm getting rid of the mood air man that shit Joe when you go to Arizona I promise you you can just feel it in the air nigga you be like oh it's beautiful out here you feel me but you don't think nothing about it like this Arizona nigga ain't nothing but when you go study Africa's so-called Africa terrain study Arizona's terrain boom just look Just look into it. Just look in there.
Starting point is 02:26:47 I'm asking you to do it for homework tonight. Just look up in there a little bit. Mm-hmm. You heard it here. Arizona is Africa. Just look into it a little bit.
