Episode Synopsis
We are shaking things up in 2026--Make sure to JOIN US for ALL the content coming - https://join.unrefinedpodcast.comWhat if the chaos in conspiracy communities was by design? In this thought-provoking conversation, we’re joined by a guest who's no stranger to the shadowy overlaps of fringe beliefs, government psyops, and the supernatural. We crack open the “Cass Sunstein Effect” and explore how psychological manipulation, social media echo chambers, and even the church contribute to a distorted search for truth. From demons to disinformation, from Crowley to cryptids, nothing’s off the table in this deep-dive into discernment, deception, and discernment again. It’s a masterclass in keeping your eyes open—spiritually and intellectually.Free the Rabbits- https://podcasts.apple.com/ag/podcast/free-the-rabbits/id1752866529 Free The Rabbits https://youtu.be/IPalYBUgo3M?si=SSanqtKR6AU-zevJPDF available to our sponsors only-- copyright issueTimeline:00:09 Controlling the narrative00:54 Guest intro: Joel Thomas of Free the Rabbits03:19 Breaking down the deception in fringe spaces05:39 Growing up with fringe interests07:55 Creating a balanced, biblical lens10:00 Real disinformation and the Cass Sunstein paper12:10 The "everything is fake" trap14:25 We weren’t made for heaven—our purpose on Earth16:49 The problem with “waking people up”19:05 What the Sunstein document got right21:28 The rise of conspiracy culture since 200923:46 Critical thinking vs. jumping to conclusions26:11 Disinformation and the “truth-er” crowd28:31 The Sunstein paper and its ripple effects30:51 Nudge theory and behavior manipulation33:04 Noise-canceling deception35:29 The real aim: dismantle trust37:50 Disinformation leads to self-censorship40:02 Discernment and spiritual grounding42:21 The root issue: discontentment and money44:40 End times hype and the business behind fear46:58 Supernatural encounters and spiritual warfare49:22 Film projects, portals, and the Meadow Project51:41 Alistair Crowley, British intel, and cryptids54:00 Final reflections and farewells
