Shapeshifters of Smokeless Fire: The Djinn, UAP, and the Hidden Pattern Dec 16, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Fortean Winds, Bones and RamX take us into the heart of Middle Eastern lore to examine the jinn—not as Disney-fied genies or simple spirits, but as liminal, energetic intelligences that mirror the behavior of UAPs, fairies, and other global phenomena. What are we actually interacting with in these so-called "paranormal" experiences? Are we just applying different mythological skins to the same persistent and intelligent phenomenon?

Drawing from Islamic theology, Bedouin folklore, and modern UAP witness reports, the hosts explore the trickster behavior, shapeshifting nature, and emotional imprint of the jinn. From ancient desert spirits to plasma-based UFO encounters and even the Nation of Islam’s “Mother Wheel,” this conversation peels back the cultural layers to reveal one unsettling conclusion: The entities never left—they’ve only changed masks.

The Psychic Circus: Fairies, UFOs, and the Trickster Phenomenon Dec 04, 2025

In this long-anticipated episode of Fortean Winds, Bones and RamX finally tackle Robert Kirk’s The Secret Commonwealth, drawing mind-bending connections between 17th-century fairy lore and 21st-century UAP encounters. But this isn't a quaint folklore episode—this is about continuity, not coincidence.

Kirk's astonishing accounts of subterranean, liminal beings—seen only by those with the "second sight"—mirror modern patterns in UFO abduction, high strangeness, and transmedium craft. Were the fairies really ancient projections of the same adaptive intelligence we now label “non-human”? What if folklore was just metadata rendered in myth?

The hosts chart a lineage from Kirk to Keel and beyond, exposing a hidden map of contact through myth, mind, and perception. The terrain hasn’t changed—only the tools we use to see it have.

For a Kindle version of Kirk's book you can get it at Amazon here (as I write the description it is now 99 cents):

Sorry folks, it was free last week.

Exposing the New Apostles: QAnon, Prophecy & the Battle for America Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

This week on Fortean Winds, Bones and RamX pull back the curtain on one of the most powerful—and least understood—networks shaping American politics today. From the Seven Mountains Mandate to the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), from QAnon’s digital psyops to Michael Flynn’s mobilization machine, we map the hidden architecture connecting modern Dominion theology, covert political influence, and narrative warfare.

What begins as a look into Christian charismatic movements quickly becomes a forensic investigation into cell-network power structures, intelligence tradecraft, the origins of Q, and the spiritual-political coalitions now embedded inside Turning Point USA, TPUSA Faith, ReAwaken America, and Project 2025.

This is the real epilogue to our “Who Runs the World?” trilogy — a data-driven breakdown of theology weaponized, belief engineered, and influence networks hiding in plain sight.

We also preview next week’s long-awaited deep dive into fairy lore, UAP overlap, Robert Kirk’s 1691 accounts, and why early modern “faerie seers” described phenomena identical to today’s high strangeness reports.

If you care about power, hidden agendas, cultural engineering, or UAP disclosure, this is required listening.

Frozen Billionaires, Flying Saucers, and the Fear of Free Energy Nov 04, 2025

Show notes

In this hard-hitting follow-up to their modern oligarchy exposé, Fortean Winds hosts Bones and RamX take us deep into the dark heart of UAP secrecy. Why don’t you know the truth about UFOs? Because the systems built to hide it are designed to preserve power, wealth, and control—not truth.

The duo lays out the three-pronged strategy used to suppress UAP-related knowledge: the corporate black box, legislative gutting, and the psychological cage that keeps the public distracted and dismissive. With examples ranging from the Schumer amendment to the 3i Atlas anomaly and even Epstein’s connection to elite networks, the episode weaves a narrative that’s as grounded in policy as it is in high strangeness.

You’ll learn why “free energy” scares billionaires, how defense contractors protect reverse-engineered tech through classification loopholes, and how social media influencers are now tools in a powerful campaign of misdirection.

If reality feels curated, maybe it’s because it is.

From Robber Barons to Data Barons: America’s Oligarchic Legacy Oct 21, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Fortean Winds, Bones and RamX explore the deep historical roots of modern oligarchy in the United States, tracing a lineage from the landed elites of the Founding Era to today’s digital overlords.

How has control evolved—from physical monopolies on oil and railroads to invisible cages of data, media consolidation, and algorithmic manipulation? The hosts dissect how real autonomy is restricted not with chains, but with narratives, surveillance, and systemic leverage.

They also revisit Richard Thieme’s “Real Birds in Digital Cages” and dig into the implications of concentrated power on UAP secrecy, civil liberties, and even Peter Thiel’s bizarre apocalyptic theology. This isn’t conspiracy theory—it’s historical continuity backed by data and receipts.

Welcome to the cage. Can you see the bars yet?

Unraveling Elite Influence: Who Really Runs the World? Oct 09, 2025

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Forget the smoke-filled rooms and the Illuminati. The real story of who runs the world is far more complex, measurable, and closer to your wallet than you think.

In this deep-dive episode of Fortean Winds, we cut through the noise of myth and conspiracy to deliver a data-driven analysis of global power. The hard truth is not a shadowy cabal, but a decentralized web of elite influence—a network of an estimated 2,000 to 5,000 individuals across economic, political, and intelligence clusters that shape everything from your daily news feed to global policy.

We trace the lines of systemic leverage wielded by these elites, grounding our investigation in numbers from credible sources like Forbes, OpenSecrets, and the AARO Report. You'll learn:

Economic Control: How just a few thousand individuals control over $14 trillion in wealth and how investment firms like BlackRock and Vanguard effectively dictate the policies of 80% of S&P 500 firms, driving up your costs for housing, healthcare, and food.
Information Manipulation: The terrifying reality that six media conglomerates control 90% of the U.S. media, and how algorithms on platforms like Google and X curate roughly 60% of what you see online, creating echo chambers and suppressing certain worldviews.
Political Lobbying & Policy: How billions in political donations and lobbying ensure that an estimated 80% of U.S. policies align with elite interests, not public opinion, limiting your economic and political mobility.
The Fortean Twist: UAP Secrecy: We integrate the strange reality of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), examining official government documents (like the AARO Report) and the possibility that a tiny subgroup (50–200 people) is controlling potentially transformative, non-human technology. Is this secrecy delaying free energy and other innovations?

This is a vital listen for anyone who has ever asked, "Who runs the world?" We provide a clear, evidence-based answer that moves beyond vague talk of a "grand conspiracy" and points directly to the measurable systemic leverage that is shaping your future.

Tune in to Fortean Winds as we synthesize the evidence, revealing the central nodes of power, why they compete, and what the high stakes of this fragmented, elite-driven system mean for you.

Selling the Apocalypse – From Scofield to Now Aug 20, 2025

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

This week on Fortean Winds, Bones and RamX dive into the strange history of how the apocalypse became a product — sold in books, sermons, politics, and even foreign wars. We trace it back to the Scofield Reference Bible and its role in popularizing dispensationalism, Christian Zionism, and the rapture theology that still shapes American culture and geopolitics today. Along the way, we uncover the controversial life of Cyrus Scofield, the extremist roots of John Nelson Darby, and how prophecy moved from fringe theology to mainstream political power. Was the Iraq War influenced by end-times theology? How do charlatans and influencers still profit off selling doomsday today? Join us as we unravel the theology, the history, and the marketplace of the apocalypse.

And I think we got out of this one without promising links..but how about one regarding Angels. Everybody loves Angels.

Epstein’s “Temple”: Satanic Ritual or Psychological Weapon? Aug 06, 2025

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

In Episode 37 of Fortean Winds, Bones and Remix dismantle the most sensational conspiracy around Jeffrey Epstein’s private island—was it a Satanic temple, or simply a masterclass in psychological control?

Occult vs. Cult-With-a-C
We trace the origins of the “Satanic ritual” rumors—from Eyes Wide Shut parallels and QAnon spin-ups to the temple’s striped walls and golden dome—and reveal why there’s zero evidence of real magic, demons, or sigils.
Psychological Weaponization
Instead of summoning demons, Epstein’s operation used trauma bonding, isolation, and meticulously choreographed abuse to break victims’ wills. Hear how the tactics mirror documented cult strategies (NXIVM, Allison Mack) and exploit vulnerable targets.
Network of Power & Influence
Epstein’s inner circle wasn’t mystical—it was strategic. We map out who financed it, who kept silent, and how legal gag orders, media drops, and secrecy served as disinformation tools to bury the truth.
Information Warfare in Action
From high-profile pundits cashing in on conspiracies to algorithm-driven gaslighting, learn how media figures (Charlie Kirk, Joe Rogan, Matt Walsh) amplified or quashed stories—and what that means for all large-scale cover-ups, UAPs included.
Beyond Epstein
What can this reveal about secrecy in politics, intelligence, and even UFO disclosure? Tune in for takeaways on spotting disinfo playbooks and protecting yourself from narrative manipulation.

Hit Play for a deep dive into the myths, the methods, and the media machine that shaped the Epstein saga—and why understanding its psychology matters for every “Big Secret” out there.
