A wide variety of topics are discussed here, including many that some people would call conspiracies. Frens here have a lot of knowledge and some have been studying their favorite topics for years.
I wonder, could we get a plan going to spread the knowledge? If you have a topic or two that you have dived in to and would be willing to share your knowledge and research with frens here, please do! This is your opportunity to share what you've discovered.
We could call it, Professor Pepe Presents. You could share as much or as little as you'd like, but the more the better, imo. For instance, you could give a synopsis of the topic and your findings in one post. Or, if you have a lot to share, you could do a series of posts on that topic. There are dozens of possibilities.
To give these posts uniformity and make them immediately identifiable to others on the board, we could frame them in this way -- (example topics)
Professor Pepe Presents; MK Ultra
Professor Pepe Presents; Racine
Professor Pepe Presents; Project Bluebeam
Professor Pepe Presents; The Las Vegas Massacre
Professor Pepe Presents; The Moon Landing, Real or Not?
The topics don't all have to be 'conspiracy' related. For instance, do you have great knowledge of the Constitution? By all means, do Professor Pepe Presents; The US Constitution.
Or perhaps you have a solid handle on how the three branches of government work (or are supposed to) --- that could be a PPP lesson. Maybe you're really knowledgeable about US (or world) History or have studied any of the wars in depth. Maybe you can explain exactly what went on with Uranium One or know all the details about the Federal Reserve. ALL of that knowledge is valuable and would be great to share with frens.
There is so much to learn and people here have a wealth of knowledge. And yes, while it's best if people can do their own research, sometimes the demands of life and time constraints keep them from being able to. So if you can share what you know, perhaps that will give others a solid foundation from which they can then springboard off and continue with their own look-see.
Professor Pepe Presents: The Federal Reserve
Professor Pepe Presents: Devolution
Professor Pepe Presents; The Bill of Rights
Professor Pepe Presents; World War I
There are countless topics to explore and I sincerely hope some of you will share the wealth of your knowledge. This is your opportunity to become a teacher! If you're willing and able, please just jump right in. All I ask is that you start your title with Professor Pepe Presents so that we can immediately identify the thread as a sort of master class. And please -- don't assume that others know everything you know. Everybody is at a different stage and newbies are joining us every day. For instance, as much as I've seen people talk about MK Ultra and Project Bluebeam here, I have very little knowledge of either. Even info about how our politics works is valuable, as so many are just waking up and becoming interested. So don't be shy. Whatever you know is not known by someone else and will be valuable information for them.
I want to thank you in advance if you embrace this idea. And if there is little interest in this over night, I will probably post it again tomorrow to get more eyes on it.
Thanks, frens. May we all help each other learn and grow.

Oh, I bet that was good. Thanks! But will you be willing to start a thread on the topic and basically teach what you have learned to your frens here? That's the idea behind Professor Pepe Presents. It's a chance for all of us to directly share what we've learned. I hope you'll do it. Thanks.
It has been many months since I last listened to them and there are probably many details I missed on my 2nd listening. I want to go through it sometime and take notes as I'm listening and mark down each timestamp of important topics covered in each lecture. So much good useful info and the fact its coming from a Nobel Prize winner from the 80s talking about things that are deemed recent "conspiracy theories" is just the cherry on top to send to normies.
But my favorite story by far was the story of the founding of National Biscuit Company and how a bunch of suits who probably inherited their cookie business from grandma all got together so they could start a monopoly of the cookie industry.
Every time they had over 70% of the market they shut down the factories and upped their prices. Suddenly out of nowhere armies of grandmas came out of the woodworks and started their own cookie companies. Nabisco would then have to start production up again and buy out all the companies to get a monopoly again. But alas every time they had a monopoly, grandmas kept pouring in with family recipe cookie start ups. Nabisco eventually ran out of money and got bought out. Government doesn't regulate how a cookie is made and this is why Nabisco could never hold on to a monopoly.
Another fantastic story is on the FDAs founding by Teddy Roosevelt and the first Head Chemist of the FDA Harvey Wiley
https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Washington_Wiley
Harvey Wiley was a researcher who was heavily saturated with money from the sugar industry, publishing studies in their favor. As his first act as head Chemist of the FDA he outlawed Saccharine, the first sugar free substitute to take out sugar competition.
Well it just so happened that Teddy Roosevelt loved to put Saccharine in his tea/coffee every morning. One day he finds out he can't buy Saccharine anymore. When he finds out its because of the FDA he just founded he goes apeshit and fires Harvey Wiley...
And that is how the FDA started...
Lol! Grandmas saving they day (as they do.) I never heard that story. That's great. Thanks and I hope you'll do it when you can.
I will when I have time to breathe a bit but right now I've got a lot of things to worry about on my end.
I just added another story of Harvey Wiley, the FDA's first head Chemist. There's so many gems in there
The first and/or second lecture talked about how political party voting demographics changed in the 1890s which allowed the return of the Dems and it used to be your political party was affiliated with what sect of Christianity you were in (Catholics and Lutherans were different political parties if I recall).
