This week the boys break out the tin foil hats and venture deep into the world of Conspiracy Theory with a tale that connects the dots between WWII, The Philadelphia Experiment, Deep Underground Military Bases, Alien Experimentation, Militarized Psychics, Time Travel, Nazi Gold... and that’s just the beginning of The Montauk Project.

Chapter 1: What is the Montauk Project and how is it connected to other conspiracy theories?
That's exactly why you're so tired. And, of course, we have with us the open-minded Ed Larson. Very open-minded this week. I'm here to learn. You know, I'm going to ask some questions. Sure.
But I am going to... Try to accept the answers. All we ask is that you try. That's all we ask. Very good.
This is an important chapter in conspiracy theory history. We're talking about the Montauk Project today. This is a very important chapter. This is something that we've been wanting to cover for a very, very long time. We weren't quite ready yet, but I think now we finally got the chops to do it. We got the juice for it. Oh yeah, this is the bullshit noise that is technically, that strings...
The Philadelphia Experiment, MKUltra, all of it together in one big old fun conspiracy soup.
Yeah, I mean, at its core, the Montauk Project is what happens when you take a handful of the great conspiracy theories of the 20th century, from MKUltra to alien collaborations with America to secret government time travel experiments, and you put them all into one building in Long Island.
Now, some of you may already know that the story of the Montauk Project was very loosely adapted into the Netflix show Stranger Things. In fact, the original pitch for Stranger Things was a found footage project called Montauk.
But while Stranger Things is admittedly a delightful show and quite lighthearted, the actual story of the Montauk Project, or at least the story that has been presented to the world, is far darker and far more unbelievable, although you will notice similarities here and there.
As Henry put it to me, the Montauk Project is, in essence, the story of alien tech stolen by the Nazis to create a nation of time-traveling boys.
And that's what we all are looking for.

Chapter 2: Who was Wilhelm Reich and what role did his theories play in these projects?
Mouse thinking, not giant thinking.
Mouse thinking?
That's a new one.
That's a new one for me.
Baby thinking, baby mouse thinking.
Small fries here. As do I. Instead, Fort Hero, prior to being the site of the Montauk Project, was also where some of the most infamous alleged military experiments in history took place, like the Phoenix Project and the Philadelphia Experiment. So before we get into the Montauk Project proper, let's cover the operations that supposedly led to the project's foundings.
Operations that laid the groundwork for the secret government time travel mind control experiments that came to define the conspiracies.
Yeah, man, because that's the thing. What they discover what's awesome about all of this shit, right, is that they all failed their way to something dumber. Yeah. Every single project was supposed to do one thing and then it just did something else. And then they just kept giving them money to fuck up because it seems like he was government on some level in this version of reality or all like.
Make it invisible.

Chapter 3: What were Project Phoenix and the Philadelphia Experiment?
Did you say do you think? No.
Do you think that he was inspired by Vril Energy at all? Vril Energy? I don't think so, because Vril Energy was very much more of a Nazi thing.
I'm just saying, I wonder if he got any of that reading, too. He may have.
It's quite possible.
The idea of sloshing around energies was a big thing inside of Germany.
Yeah, I think he may have had some influence, but he wanted to take it his own direction, and he was very horny. Super horny. There's nothing horny about Vril Energy.
No, it's all about beating other races at the Olympics.
Now, all this sounds pretty goofy, and it is. But Wilhelm Reich took it extremely seriously. And once he got infected by the American entrepreneurial spirit, his experiments around Oregon energy became quite intense, even though he didn't have a license to practice medicine in the United States.
That's a real fucking American. He showed up, he got rid of that European fucking garbage, and understood it is better sometimes to ask for forgiveness rather than ask for permission. I'm a doctor.

Chapter 4: How did the Montauk Project allegedly use Nazi gold to fund its operations?
And broadcast is going to be a very important thing for the Montauk Project.
Oh, yes. It is the most radar-based thing possible.
The theory goes that Project Phoenix was partly about controlling the weather using Reichsorgon technology. Now, according to our whistleblowers, Reich's technology actually worked, but the government abandoned the project because it would open them up to lawsuits if their ability to control the weather was made public. Who's going to fucking sue them? Is the weather going to sue them?
No, people whose buildings are destroyed by thunderstorms that were possibly, you know, created by the government.
When has the government fucking cared about that ever once?
They really don't.
They don't give a shit about that. They if they wanted to control the weather, they definitely would.
Yes.
And it wouldn't be this bad. No, it would be. Well, you know, they did talk about that. We might actually, though, have an earthquake weapon. There is some talk that we might have an earthquake weapon, but it's very different. It literally has to be like drilled into the ground. It's like a whole thing. It's Kwame from Captain Planet. Yes. Was that the one? No, he's Hart.

Chapter 5: What is the story behind the alien treaties and their connection to the Montauk Project?
Richard?
Richard, yeah. Richard Motti. Motti.
He was the dumb one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guess what? Hart didn't do jack shit, Motti. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, am I totally crazy? I thought there was some truth to cloudbusting. Yeah, maybe. There's cloud seeding. Yeah. You know, they do that with kind of when, in all of the weird chemtrail conspiracy theories, there's a lot of weather manipulation in that too. We do have, we can make rain.
We can make rain. We could do, but I feel like it's very- I don't know if we can though.
Yes, we can cloud seed. Why not do it over Los Angeles then?
Because I think it's extremely unpredictable and it fucks with weather patterns and I think that's why they don't do it.
I think it's also really expensive as well.
I imagine. I imagine also it might like poison us over time.
Maybe.

Chapter 6: Who were the Montauk Boys and what was their significance?
How do you think we got into the air after Kitty Hawk, man?
Because of the breeze in North Carolina.
Nah, man. I'm talking about the big fucking jumps. These big jumps. Because everyone says, oh, isn't humanity so fucking incredible that we went from Kenny Hawk to the moon in 60 years?
Oh, did we do that? Or did we trade our souls to the aliens for that technology? Marcus gets it. I mean, it's just gas, right?
Yeah, yeah.
We just set things on fire. It was mostly just science. Physics.
No, but this is a part. In the 1940s, when it was the Gaeta Treaty, that was like we're talking about with Eisenhower. It's called the Gaeta Treaty.
Okay. And it's actually with Eisenhower, that's the 50s.
Well, yeah, I was one of them. One of these fucking pieces of shit. Just keep it a timeline. They knew about 9-11. They said nothing.

Chapter 7: What is stickball and why is it mentioned in relation to the Montauk Boys?
Oh, you know, it should have been two kids with a stickball, like a whole get up, a guy flipping a coin. That's what these are. It's little boys that are. It's the 1970s.
There were kids in Long Island playing stickball in the 1970s.
I played stickball. Do you know what stickball is?
Yeah. What is stickball?
It's baseball with a broom handle. Yeah, I played it in Queens as a little kid.
It's just baseball.
It's a very New York thing. It's a very New York thing. But you can't go to the field. You know, you got to play it in the street. Yeah, stickball. You play it in the street. I played it with a broomstick. That's fine. Yeah. I was, like, a little boy one time. I was, like, really out there.
A little boy in Queens playing stickball?
Hey, oh, ow, oh. Hey, oh, ow, yo. Look at that guy. Daniel Robinson.
