The Age of Transitions
Author and digital filmmaker Aaron Franz hosts this podcast about transhumanism, social manipulation, the occult, and much more.

Dave McGowan, author of Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon, returns to Trans Resister Radio. In this interview he talks with Aaron about race politics in media. A nonstop barrage of racially charged stories has been the norm throughout the mainstream media lately. Even more discouraging is that some in the alternative media have latched onto these same stories only to cover them in a decidedly racist and fascist way.

topics include: racism, fascism, alternative media, Facebook, Michael Brown, Bill Cosby, sexual abuse, race politics, racial tension, mainstream media, Ferguson MO, protests, police shootings, agent provocateurs, Cliven Bundy, divide and conquer, social isolation, internet, television, mobile devices, extremist ideologies, social media, right-wing politics, Understanding the F Word, war, talking points, hypocrisy, extreme haunted houses, torture as entertainment, dark trends in society, legalized crime, culture of violence, anti heroes

Another transhuman themed film is reviewed here by Adam and Aaron on the Themes and Memes podcast. Recently we saw Johnny Depp in a starring role and now we have Scarlett Johansson playing the lead role. Not unlike Transcendence, Lucy fails as a film, but at least it has sex appeal. It also has an abundance of occult symbolism crammed in for people to think about alongside all of the transhumanist memes.
