What if the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden wasn't an apple at all? Joel Thomas takes a deep dive into one of the Bible's greatest mysteries, exploring ancient Jewish texts, the true identity of the serpent, and theories surrounding the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.From the Bible to the Talmud, Zohar, and other ancient writings describing an upright, intelligent serpent to controversial interpretations of the Serpent Seed doctrine, Joel examines whether the events in Eden involved something far stranger than eating a piece of fruit. Could the forbidden fruit have represented a sexual encounter, supernatural knowledge, genetic manipulation, or even ancient technology?The investigation also explores through a Biblical lens, the Book of Enoch, Gnostic interpretations, Sumerian mythology, the Anunnaki, and Raëlian claims that Eden was an advanced extraterrestrial laboratory. Was the Tree of Knowledge a literal tree, a spiritual gateway, or something entirely different?Go Fund Me | MidLife Timeless Album: https://www.gofundme.com/joelthomasmusicMerchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleEmail: [email protected] by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – MissingYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics Discussed: Garden of Eden, Forbidden Fruit, Tree of Knowledge, Adam and Eve, Genesis 3, Nachash, Serpent Seed Doctrine, Reptilian Serpents, Talmud, Zohar, Jewish Midrash, Gospel of Barnabas, Book of Enoch, Samael, Lucifer, Gnosticism, Forbidden Knowledge, Ancient Technology, Genetic Engineering, Sumerian Mythology, Enki and Ninhursag, Anunnaki, Raëlianism, Elohim, Ancient Extraterrestrial Theories

In Part 2 of Joel's investigation into the mysterious and controversial Order of Nine Angles (ONA), he ventures deeper into the occult organization's sinister cosmology, alleged interdimensional gateways, and the mysterious entities known as the Dark Gods.He explores the strange connection between the physical and acausal realms, the seven planetary spheres of the Tree of Wyrd, and the occult practices believed to open gateways between dimensions. He also investigates Philippe L. De Coster, known as Magister Hagur, whose writings on the Dark Gods, sinister pathworkings, and psychic vampirism reveal another fascinating layer of the ONA's esoteric teachings.From Aleister Crowley's influence and the mysterious Star Game to Jungian archetypes, sinister tarot, and the possibility of entities existing beyond human consciousness, this episode examines the intersection of occult magick, cosmic symbolism, and spiritual deception.Go Fund Me | MidLife Timeless Album: https://www.gofundme.com/joelthomasmusicMerchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleEmail: [email protected] by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – Agartha w/ Quan DukeYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics Discussed:Order of Nine Angles, Anton Long, David Myatt, Magister Hagur, Philippe L.

DONATE HERE: https://www.gofundme.com/joelthomasmusicI’m Joel Thomas, and I’m creating my new album, MidLife Timeless. I’ve been building this current run of music for around five years, and over that time I’ve been grateful to grow a fan base that has stayed with me through the journey, including many listeners who found my music through my podcast, Free The Rabbits, as well as those who were following my work before the podcast began. This album is deeply personal to me. It’s built on exposing the world through truth and faith, while also taking a deep look at my own life. I’ve already written the album and prepared the production, and now I’m asking for help with the next steps to bring it to life the right way.To create the best version of this project, I need support to record in the professional studio I have always used and trusted. Your donations will go directly toward recording, mixing, and mastering the full album, as well as producing three music videos. The plan is to release two singles with music videos leading up to the full album, and then launch the album with a third video. If my music or podcast has encouraged you, inspired you, or stayed with you in any way, I would be truly grateful for your support. Every contribution helps me move this project forward and helps bring truth and faith in Christ to a world that needs a lot of both.

In Part I of Dark Archetype, Joel begins an investigation into the Order of Nine Angles (O9A)—a secretive and decentralized occult network that describes its system as “Traditional Satanism” and combines elements of the Left-Hand Path, paganism, occult initiation, and an unusual causal/acausal cosmology.  He traces the disputed origins of the Order, the mysterious identity of Anton Long and his alleged connection to David Myatt, before breaking down what actually separates the O9A from more familiar forms of modern Satanism.  What does the O9A mean by the “acausal realm”? Who—or what—are its so-called Dark Gods? Are these beings understood as literal external intelligences, manifestations of the subconscious, or something existing somewhere between those two possibilities? The episode brings Carl Jung's archetypes into the discussion to explore how angels, demons, Satan, aliens, gods, and other entities might interact with human consciousness without automatically reducing those experiences to hallucination or fantasy.  Part I opens the door into the philosophy and cosmology behind one of the strangest—and darkest—modern occult systems.Merchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleEmail: [email protected] by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – Agartha w/ Quan DukeYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics Discussed:Order of Nine Angles (O9A), Left-Hand Path vs. Right-Hand Path, Theistic Satanism, Atheistic Satanism, Anton Long, David Myatt, Origins of the O9A, Traditional Satanism, Carl Jung’s Archetypes, Satan & Demons as Archetypes, Angels & Entity Encounters, The Shadow, Autonomous Complexes, The Causal Realm, The Acausal Realm, Dark Gods, Vindex, The Seven-Fold Way, Tree of Wyrd, The Nine Angles, Seven Stages of Alchemy, Self-Initiation, Insight Roles, External Magick, Internal Magick, Aeonic Magick, Nexions, Aeonic Cosmology, The Star Game, Collective Consciousness

What if the dinosaurs weren’t just prehistoric animals—but biological vessels for something much older?In this episode of Free The Rabbits, Joel explores the connections between dinosaurs, the biblical Seraphim, fallen angels and the serpent traditions found throughout the ancient world. We dig into the Hebrew saraph, the Bible’s mysterious “fiery flying serpents,” the strange descriptions of the pre-Eden serpent, and the possibility that certain creatures could have functioned as biological avatars for spiritual beings. Dragon Avatars Notes Dragon Avatars NotesThen the rabbit hole takes an unexpected turn into the Bone Wars—the ruthless 19th-century battle between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh that helped shape modern paleontology and our understanding of dinosaurs. Their race for fossils was filled with rivalry, questionable tactics, rushed conclusions and infamous reconstruction mistakes. Dragon Avatars NotesFrom ancient dragon kingship and reptilian legends to dinosaur fossils and fallen-angel theology, this episode asks one central question:What exactly were the dragons of the ancient world—and have we been digging up their bones all along?Merchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleEmail: [email protected] by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – Agartha w/ Quan DukeYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics Discussed:Seraphim • Fiery Flying Serpents • Dragons • Dinosaurs • Fallen Angels • Pre-Adamic Earth • The Serpent of Eden • Nephilim • Reptilians • Draconians • Ancient Kingship • Dinosaur Brain Size • Avatar Theory • Sumerian King List • Edward Drinker Cope • Othniel Charles Marsh • The Bone Wars • Fossil Reconstructions • Ancient Dragon Traditions

Is the internet still populated by people—or are we increasingly interacting with machines?In Episode 3 of Isaac & Joel’s Kwarter Kwell, Joel Thomas and Isaac Weishaupt dive into the Dead Internet Theory and the unsettling possibility that bots, AI-generated content, algorithms, and manufactured engagement are beginning to overwhelm genuine human activity online.They trace the theory back to the mysterious “Illuminati Pirate” thread and explore how social media algorithms can create artificial consensus, filter bubbles, outrage cycles, and digital environments designed to keep users emotionally engaged.From the origins of ARPANET and DARPA to LifeLog, Total Information Awareness, In-Q-Tel, Facebook, Peter Thiel, Palantir, Narrative Science, AI-generated journalism, bot farms, and the attention economy, we examine the long-running effort to collect human behavior as data—and whether today's internet represents the evolution of those systems. They then ask whether artificial intelligence could function like an alien intelligence and connects the rise of AI to Jacques Vallée, Jack Parsons, David Bowie, John C. Lilly, occult philosophy, Gnosticism, transhumanism, the Singularity, and humanity's fascination with escaping the physical world.Lastly, they enter the world of Memetic Magick: the idea that memes, bots, viral narratives, manufactured controversy, likes, comments, and algorithmic amplification can function as tools for manipulating collective consciousness. If enough artificial accounts tell you that everyone believes something…how long before the humans begin believing it too?Are we using the internet—or is the internet using us?Isaac Weishaupt: Website | YouTubeNew Kwarter Kwell Hoodies: PurchaseNew Bill Cooper "Kill Bill" T-Shirts & HoodiesFree The Rabbits:Merchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleMusic: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music Films: https://merkelfilms.com Email: [email protected] by: merkel.mediaOutro Music:Joel Thomas – AdiosYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics Discussed:Dead Internet Theory • Illuminati Pirate • 4chan & Wizardchan • AI Slop • Bot Farms • Algorithmic Filter Bubbles • Social Media Manipulation • ARPANET • DARPA • LifeLog • Total Information Awareness • Facebook • In-Q-Tel • Peter Thiel • Palantir • Narrative Science • AI Journalism • Jacques Vallée • Transhumanism • AI as Alien Intelligence • John C.

What if the brightest star in our night sky was viewed as more than a star—but as a gateway to the divine?In this episode, we follow the strange esoteric trail of Sirius, the Dog Star, from ancient Egypt and Anubis into Freemasonry, Theosophy, and the occult teachings of Helena Blavatsky and Alice Bailey. Albert Pike explicitly connected the Masonic Blazing Star with Sirius, Anubis, and Mercury as “Guardian and Guide of Souls,” while later Theosophical teachings described Sirius as the location of a “greater Lodge” connected with initiation.  We trace the symbolism of the Dog Star, Anubis, the Blazing Star, Ascended Masters, the Great White Lodge, initiation, and the mysterious “Ring Pass-Not” to ask what these traditions actually believed Sirius represented—and why the same celestial symbolism keeps appearing across different mystery traditions.

The Lindsay Clancy case is already one of the strangest criminal trials in recent memory, but the story gets even stranger once you start looking beyond the courtroom.In this episode, Joel breaks down the alleged male command voice, the postpartum psychosis defense, and psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel’s unusual national-security background before diving into V2K, remote mind-control claims, and predictive psychiatric AI. He also follows the network surrounding Patrick Clancy into Boston’s medical and philanthropic elite, Fidelity, reproductive medicine, the Seagram/Bronfman family, and NXIVM.  By the end, the case has expanded far beyond one courtroom — into questions about psychiatric surveillance, predictive AI, elite institutional networks, and whether the Lindsay Clancy story is being used to normalize a much larger system of control.Merchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleEmail: [email protected] by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – GreyYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics Discussed:Lindsay Clancy, postpartum psychosis, V2K, remote neural monitoring, predictive AI, Dr. Paul Zeizel, Patrick Clancy, Sheila Cavanaugh, Fidelity, Rachel Danis, Seagram, Bronfman family, NXIVM

QAnon was supposed to be dead. The drops stopped, the predictions failed, and the movement largely disappeared from the form it took during Donald Trump’s first presidency. But in 2026, something strange is happening: Q language is showing up again—this time from official government accounts.In this episode, Joel goes back to Cass Sunstein and Adrian Vermeule’s controversial proposal for the “cognitive infiltration” of conspiracy groups and asks whether QAnon can be understood through the very information cascades they studied. From Q’s origins on 4chan and its failed predictions to earlier LARPs like Victory of the Light, we examine how the mythology was assembled—and why it worked.But the story doesn’t end with the original Q drops. In 2026, something unexpected begins happening inside the highest levels of American government. Old language, familiar imagery, and strangely recognizable signals start resurfacing in places they probably shouldn’t. Coincidence, political trolling, or something much more deliberate? The deeper we go, the stranger the resurrection of Q becomes.Is QAnon actually making a comeback—or has the mythology itself become useful enough that the government is now deliberately resurrecting it?Merchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleEmail: [email protected] by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – GreyYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics Discussed:QAnon, Q Drops, Q Psyop, Donald Trump, Cass Sunstein, Adrian Vermeule, Cognitive Infiltration, Conspiracy Theories, Government Psyops, Information Cascades, Nudge Theory, 4chan, /pol/, 8chan, Q Clearance, Pizzagate, The Storm, The Event, Victory of the Light, Q LARPs, FBI Anon, MegaAnon, High Level Insider, Military Intelligence, Deep State, Trust the Plan, Patriots in Control, WWG1WGA, White House, Department of Labor, Pentagon, Quantum Dominance, Government Propaganda, Psychological Operations, Controlled Opposition, 2026 QAnon Resurgence
