Ep 50 - 5 Rules to Conspiracies with C Derick Varn - Part 1 - a podcast by Giving the Mic to the Wrong Person

Part 1 of our extended conversation with Derick Varn. The full talk is up at Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/givingthemic/

C Derick Varn returns to give us a primer on how to interpret conspiratorial claims, and takes on a glorious history of what certain intelligence services were up to after WWII and why most coverups aren't to hide secretive evil dealings but usually just obscuring fuck-ups. Topics covered include: Rambo 3, Predator, Rogerian Arguments, George Lincoln Rockwell, business conspiracies nowhere near as sexy as government conspiracies, why did the 9/11 Report get limited from the start, parsimony as useful tool, and so much more.
