What happens when conspiracy theories turn out to be true?

On this edition of The Brian Nichols Show, host Brian Nichols has an in-depth discussion with Connor Boyack from the Libertas Institute about "true conspiracies" - theories that were once dismissed but later proven to be fact. They delve into a number of historical examples, including Project MK Ultra, Operation Northwoods, the Tuskegee Experiments, and more.

Boyack provides fascinating details on these "true conspiracies," explaining how the government and other entities have deceived the public throughout history to advance certain agendas. He makes the case that we should be more skeptical when presented with narratives from official sources, given this track record of lies and manipulation.

Nichols and Boyack also examine how emotions are exploited to manufacture consent, using recent Middle East conflicts as a case study. They discuss the techniques of "engineering consent" and how these psychological tactics are being employed in the modern "mind war."

In addition, the two liberty advocates talk about focusing your activism locally and outline strategies for creating change starting with your own family and sphere of influence. They share inspirational examples of young people who have made an impact after learning history and principles from resources like Boyack's Tuttle Twins books.

This jam-packed episode of The Brian Nichols Show is full of eye-opening information about government conspiracies, war propaganda, mass manipulation, and more. Tune in to hear this insightful discussion about real conspiracies that have shaped world events and what we can do to spread truth!

All right, let's talk about conspiracies. And to help me do that from the Libertas Institute, also home of the Tuttle twins Connor boy back welcome back to The Brian Nichols Show. Hey, Brian,

Connor Boyack  
glad to be back. How are you?

Brian Nichols  
I'm doing very good my friend busy as always, I see your whiteboard behind you obviously you're quite busy as well. Lots has been going on in the world not just between what we've been doing the the Liberty world but goodness you look around us and world seems it's a little bit on fire right now, Connor, thank goodness, we got folks out there like you trying to help correct some narratives that are definitely trying to mislead some folks.

Connor Boyack  
Things are on fire. And I think you know, truth is always the first casualty and war. What we're seeing right now is a ton of propaganda, a ton of war, fervor China, people abandoning critical thinking in favor of emotional reactions, and vengeance and whatnot. All the more need to realize that we are ruled by deceptions and intrigue and corruption. And we need not believe in fact, we should not believe everything that we hear. So it is odd that the very week for it's odd for me that the very week that Israel is attacked by Hamas, and all this blows up. We're publishing this book about documented examples of past cases where the people were lied to about various wars and government actions, and how people's emotions were manipulated and exploited intentionally to manufacture these outcomes, these agendas that these elite folks were trying to do. So it leads me to kind of pause and say, Yeah, I mean, horrible that Israel got attacked. And you know, in the case of this particular situation, we're talking about horrible that Israel got attack, reprehensible, I mean, 100%, evil and horrible. But it may be that, you know, there are other things happening here that I don't yet know about. So let me reserve judgment, not jump on the bandwagon of supporting whatever I'm told to support, and realize that we're probably being lied to and manipulated. And we may not find out for years or decades, and we may never find out

Brian Nichols  
as a sales guy, I see it happen all the time. What do people do when they go after your emotions, they know that if they can get you afraid, they can get you to make a buying decision. And in this case, the buying decision is buying the propaganda hook, line and sinker. Now that's not to say that what happened over in Israel when Hamas invaded and ended up killing I think the numbers well over 1000 Israeli folks right now that that right there. That's that's kind of accepted, I think, on both sides. And we had Dr. Kadar Elbaz here on the show last week talking if she's from Israel, and talking about her family and their personal experiences, what they're dealing with right now over in Israel. So yeah, you have that human element, you know, it's real, you know, things are happening. And yet, like you said, Connor, then all sudden, there's other folks that jump in the folks like Lindsey Graham, who are like, well, we should use this as a chance to go ahead and bomb Iran. And I'm like, what? Where did that come from? Why are we all sudden going about talking about bombing Iran and Lebanon and Syria and Egypt? And why are all these countries popping up? Why are we talking about a full fledged invasion of the Gaza Strip? Why are we talking about 2 million folks in the Palestinian area now all sudden find themselves homeless, and half of those a million of them being children? All these questions now? start popping up, right, but we're told you can't question that. Connor, you questioned that you're anti semitic. You don't care about the Jewish people. It's like no, I'm asking questions just like in 2020 When we were all told that there was this massive virus going around and killing everybody indiscriminately, even when you didn't have symptoms because believe it or not, that was one of the symptoms. Yeah, we were a little skeptical then. And just like now I think we're seeing the folks out there who shouldn't be skeptic or maybe we're skeptical. Some of them are jumping Hook Line Sinker into this narrative.

Connor Boyack  
That's exactly right. And after COVID As we were all called grandma killers for daring to question the the narrative and not get vaccine and wearing masks and so forth. It's the same after 911 If you were not on the bandwagon, let's go kill brown people half a world way, you are considered you know, treasonous on American non-patriotic, you were attacked by a lot of people for not, you know, joining the the war fervor so too with right now. And yet again, there are all these documented examples of the government outright lying to people. And so all the more reason why we need to pause and be very deliberate about what we actually believe and what we're supporting. Because I think truth is important. And it's often obfuscated and layered under a whole bunch of muck that you have to sift through to get at it. And too few people, especially in cases like this, where they emotionally react, too few people are willing to do the work needed to kind of remove the muck. Take the arrows from everybody else saying, What are you doing? Don't bother doing that just you know, pick up the gun and go fight. We need to pause we need to pause we need to seek the truth. And chances are we're all being lied to right now.

Brian Nichols  
Harry Brown wrote one of the most brave articles ever, probably on September 12 2001, basically outlining Hey, guys, here's how we got here. And was that politically popular? Probably not. But was it the truth? Absolutely. Ron Paul, standing in Congress saying yeah, this is the reason this happens because of blowback using the CIA's own terms in the conversation on the debate stage in 2007 2008. Standing against Rudy Giuliani, America's Mayor, City of New York's Mayor during the World War, or World War other Yeah, September 11. Attacks like that, right? There takes courage and yet, and let me kind of get your perspective here. Connor, I'm feeling to stand up and actually speak truth. It feels I'd say it's more difficult today, but rather just feels that the pressure to toe the line is as as intense as it has ever been. And I think it's pushing people to almost not want to get away from the official narratives. What's kind of your your take there, Connor? I mean, boots on the ground. You're hearing this every single day and and I'm wondering, do you kind of see something similar? Or do you see it somewhere going else?

Connor Boyack  
Well, let's go back 20 plus years to 911. At the time, you had all the media companies, all the brands, all the newspapers, all the TV outlets that were under immense pressure to subscribe to the war policy, to jump on the bandwagon to endorse to write op eds, and editorials and whatnot, all in favor of this agenda. It was the publishers, right the publishers of information, the the influencers in the information economy, who were under immense pressure, because through them, you could influence everybody else. You fast forward 20 years, and what do we have now, everybody's a publisher. Everybody is a publisher. Therefore, we've democratized the pressure that is put on people of who is trying to be manipulated to push this effort. Now all of a sudden, it's changed your Facebook profile to have this little frame around it and post with this hashtag do this tick tock dance in support of Israel and, and everybody as a publisher, is in the game of feeling like they need to suddenly give voice to a particular agenda. Before the average Joe can have their opinions, privately expressed them, keep them to themselves, whatever, and no one really cared because it was just some random Joe Wright, his sphere of influence was small. But now where everyone has the opportunity to go viral, everyone is under pressure to immediately form an opinion and become an expert in Middle Eastern policy and Israeli Hamas policies specifically, because they are a publisher and they are expected to say something it's like when you see like, something happened, like every celebrity feels the need to comment on whatever the political thing is, or whatever, because they are an influencer, a publisher and therefore become a Nexus a point of pressure. Where people expect them to say something because you have a platform, you need to say the right thing you need to do the capital R capital T right thing trademark, right when we say is the right thing. And and so that's why I think it's far different than it was with with 911. Now today, where you see everyone just jump in and what is it like remember in 1984, the daily hate I think is what it was called right where every day it's like, here's the thing you're supposed to be upset about today. Today. It's like okay, NPC plug this cartridge in your head. And here's the thing you're supposed to be commenting on and upset about today. And then tomorrow, we'll tell you what that is and every single day brings with it a new thing that everyone needs to comment on all the while again, they're being manipulated and lied to and deceived. And, you know, ultimately I think we are in a mind war we are in a psychological battle. Few people even realize it's happening therefore, they are already casualties in the mind war, you will lose every war you do not know is even being fought. It's like strolling onto a battlefield in the Middle East, you know, a wartime war zone without armor and a weapon and knowledge, you're dead. And so to the psychological Battlefield, if we are not equipped with the right armor, and weapon and knowledge to not only defend ourselves in this mind war, but to fight the enemy as well.

Brian Nichols  
George Orwell's 1984, I don't think we're supposed to be a how to manual and yet, oh, I don't know, you look at where we are today. Kind of seems it went that way. And also, I forget the Soviet defector who was interviewed, you might know who I'm referring to there was that one interview where he sat down with I think it was like EDC, I forget the reporter but basically outlining the Soviet Union's attempt to infiltrate the the mind of your average American citizen and doing so through the culture you went through. So doing so through the education systems going through not just with the K 12 system, but also into the colleges into the universities and really sowing the seeds not just of distrust and mis malcontent, but also planting the seeds of propaganda in terms of supporting a lot of these leftist ideologies. And that's not you know, that's not conspiracy. That's fact that's that's proven fact, Connor, and yet you have your new book, your true conspiracies, another addition to the Tuttle twins saga anthology, I guess, and with that, talking about not just what were considered to be conspiracies, but those that actually ended up being proven true. So talk to us about these these true conspiracies from MK Ultra to why I'm imagining SpongeBob going through the file of all the different conspiracy theories like in that one episode, something similar to that, right?

Connor Boyack  
Well, you you've actually mentioned this Soviet mind control thing that a lot of people were worried about, and you mentioned MK Ultra. So let's use that as the as the story to share, to paint the picture of what we're talking about. So in 1953, Allen Dulles is called to be the first civilian director of the brand new Central Intelligence Agency. He was not the first director, but he was the first civilian director, the agency is very fresh post World War Two. And so Eisenhower appoints this guy to be the head of the CIA. He's given a speech just a few weeks after he is appointed to this position. And in this speech, he warns his audience of the Soviet mind control programs that the commies are trying to set up halfway across the world. He says that we in the West, are at a disadvantage, in fact, for our inability to compete to persuade and control the minds of men, and that behind the Iron Curtain, he says, there's this notorious horrible, you know, scheme. And so his audience rightly is shocked and outraged, oh, my gosh, this sounds crazy. it conjures to the mind all that, you know, this, this conception of just out absolutely evil communists trying to take away the basic faculties of mankind, which is your agency, your ability to rationalize and think audiences horrified what he did not reveal to that very same audience, let alone anybody else is that he himself was overseeing a program at the CIA that would dwarf anything that the Soviets were doing in their program. It was called Project MK Ultra, as you mentioned, and this was an effort to use drugs, and electroshock therapy and other forms of torture and persuasion, to try and manipulate people's minds try and condition the human mind to think and act in ways that otherwise would not they experimented on some consenting individuals, I'm sorry, I haven't been allergies right now. They, they experimented on some consenting individuals, but most of them were unconsenting. And unaware they were prisoners. They were low IQ, you know, very kind of mentally retarded in the true sense of the term, individuals who just didn't really understand what was going on, so forth. And so they did all these experiments. Now. We would not know anything about this. But for a fluke, crazy situation in which some of the archives some of the records of the MK Ultra were wrongly placed, they were misplaced in another building. So years later, after MK Ultra, the government, the CIA shuts it down. Public is starting, you know, just to kind of get journalists are kind of looking into things, hearing things and and so the new CIA director, this is years later, orders the destruction of all of the documents total cover up, destruction of every record. In fact, what's funny is there was a record from the inspector general, which is a position in the government of oversight, right let's Make sure you're following ethical standards and you're transparent and you're, you know, abiding by all the things you need to to not get us sued or whatever. That is the role of the Inspector General, except the inspector general over project MK Ultra for the CIA was not making sure that they were abiding by any ethical or professional standards and transparency and so forth quite the opposite. There is a surviving memo from the inspector general, saying how important it is to conceal the activities of the agency that if this were brought to light, he said that it would cause serious repercussion, negative repercussions for the agency. And for this program in particular, so Great Lengths need to be gone to in order to conceal these activities. That inspector general report is one of just a handful of documents that survived the purge of the CIA destroying its own files, and was only later found and recovered. In this building where these documents were misplaced. We no 1% Probably, of what they were doing with MK Ultra. This was a true conspiracy. It's one of 20 such conspiracies that we share in the book that highlight the degree and the lengths to which the government is willing to go to violate the law to experiment on its own people to deceive people to to manufacture thought control, and become what what in the propaganda world is called consent engineers. So you think of an engineer building systems to accomplish objectives. Consent engineers are similarly creating tools and systems to persuade people to a certain course of action. They're literally trying to engineer consent. That's what MK Ultra was trying to do. The ultimate question for the reader of our new book or the listener of your podcast episode, is are we so foolish to think that if these things were happening half a century ago or more, that they're not happening today?

Brian Nichols  
Well, the list is extensive. Operation Mockingbird Operation Paperclip Gulf of Tonkin, Project MK Ultra, the Tuskegee experiment, Operation Popeye, I hadn't heard of that one, Operation Northwoods sugar and fat studies which really quick I you know, I used to weigh 385 pounds. So that one is particularly I guess, close to my own personal interest there because the the food pyramid, right? You know that obviously, you guys put more people into a state of unwell beings. And they were recommending eating a lot of complex carbs and Oh, proteins, vegetables, fruits, yeah, you put those at the top of the pyramid, right. So talk to me about like, I'm actually really curious about that Sugar Fat studies. What What, what's the conspiracy there?

Connor Boyack  
So the issue here is that the sugar Association, the big sugar, we'll call them, there was a study that had recently come out that was tying cardiovascular disease, heart disease and obesity and things they were being linked to sugar. There were these new studies that were coming out. And so in the early, this was in the early 60s. So the sugar was today called the sugar Association, they basically paid some scientists to go in and torpedo those studies, attack them, criticize them, bury them, and instead manufacture a false connection between fat consumption and cardiovascular health disease. And this suppression of true research, this manipulation of the data and the research that came out ultimately led to the low fat craze in America, every commercial, it was low fat, this diet that low fat, the other and, and ultimately, people felt okay, you know, consuming sugar because it was the low calorie option. And so ever since then, America's diabetes and obesity epidemic has just completely skyrocketed. You look at it going back to the 60s and the 70s when this thing took off. And you can see there's kind of a correlation here. Because the American people were lied to they were deceived, they were deprived of the truth, because and this shows that these aren't just government conspiracies. This was a purely corporate conspiracy. This was people trying to manipulate information that would benefit them whether it politically benefits the government financially benefits the sugar Association. The sugar industry, of course has greatly profited from from this we're about to come to Halloween, I was in the grocery store the other day, wall to wall candy everywhere else. My kids go to all these activities, church and you know, homeschool groups and everything else and it's always candy. That's how we reward it's how we entice it's how we incentivize. It's how we, you know, and my wife and I that you know, we're not anti sugar but we're very kind of lotion or let's do fruits, let's do healthy things. Let's do other stuff. And and it seems like we're being besieged by this culture of sugar intoxication. Well, that stems from half a century ago, this effort to suppress any research that would pinpoint health problems and target them on the backs of the sugar industry and Americans and people the world over been paying the price ever since.

Brian Nichols  
Well, and fast forward to 2020. And through today, it's not like, you know, there was a large push to get every single not only American, but every single civilian person on this planet vaccinated. So, you know, you look at that, and then you talked about what we just talked about here and you look at the list of conspiracy theories. I don't know, Connor like, I don't want to I don't want to be all doom and gloom and conspiracy theorist here. But I mean, is it really conspiracy theory when you see what they've done in the past kind of sets him up for what the property to in the future?

Connor Boyack  
I completely agree. I mean, you know, what do you call a conspiracy theorists? It's a synonym for historian, someone who actually understands what has happened in the past. There's a reason why content like this. So here's here's the book for those watching the video, the Tuttle twins guide to true conspiracies, and this book would never make its way into a government school. Why? Because the government schools are not going to teach you the evils of government. They're just not, they're not going to bite the hand that feeds them, right? They're not going to say alright, class, let's learn about all the ways that politicians are notoriously corrupt in the state as evil, they're not going to do it. And so then the question becomes, well, whose responsibility it's always been the parents responsibility. But over and over again, we find with the Tuttle twins work, is the parents themselves lack the knowledge, because they often were products of the same public school system, as I like to call it and were deprived in their earlier years of learning this, which is why the Tuttle twins, we market them more as family educational resources rather than children's books, because adults are learning as much as the kids when we simplify it and make it fun and interesting. So too, with these conspiracies, if we understand history, we know that all this corruption and conspiracy has happened. We therefore it can be like with Israel and Hamas and other things a little bit more skeptical of, oh, 40 babies were beheaded like, that sounds ridiculously horrible. Right? And like, like reprehensible if it actually happened, but we're already seeing in recent days at the time of this recording evidence and suggestions that that story can be corroborated. I mean, it's like when the Ukraine broke out the ghost of Kim, right, this jet that was flying around, like killing all these Russians are with the guys on the Island. Island. That's right. Yeah, yeah. complete fiction. I'll share one brief story that corroborates all this. This is actually the first chapter in the book, the first conspiracy that we share. This is the Gulf War, the first war in Iraq, and Americans were not yet involved. But many people wanted America to get involved. There was this girl that testified before Congress. Her name was Nyira. She was 15 years old. And she was sharing her experience where she was in Kuwait. She was in a hospital. And she witnessed Iraqi soldiers going into the NICU, removing premature babies from their incubators, and tossing the babies fleeing them aside and taking the incubators away this this total act of evil barbarity to do that, think of the children right like this. Oh, my gosh, you know, save the babies. Seven of the senators cited Nigeria's remarks in their justification for why they were deciding to vote for a resolution to declare war against Iraq and begin the Gulf War seven senators, the margin of the vote was five. So So greater than the difference of the vote the margin, that was the number of senators influenced by Nyira, at least the ones who, who said anything about I'm sure many more were similarly influenced Nyira her story, complete fiction. She was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador. She was coached by a PR firm that still exists today mind you called Hill and Knowlton, which had a $1 million contract from Citizens for a free Kuwait, which was a grasstops organization a total, you know, one off organization created by the Kuwaiti government that funded this organization to go propagandize and find ways to manipulate Americans to come to war to help Kuwait. And so this girl was coached, the entire story was fake. And and it was a large reason why we went to war in Iraq. Think of all the downstream effects the dominoes that have fallen, since we got involved in Gulf war with Iraq, with Iran, with Afghanistan, the whole Middle East, what would have happened? Had we not gotten involved in that war? Well, we got involved in that war, in part because the American conscience was shocked at this story of these premature babies being killed by these horrible soldiers and they demanded justice. Let's go fight. Similarly, with 40 babies being beheaded in Israel sounds horrible. Wow, that's might be fake. Like maybe it ends up being true. And so it's horrible. But we have it on good reason to be a little bit cautious when we hear these crazy stories in the hours and days following a conflict, because that's when both sides are ramping up these machines to try and engineer consent. They're trying to get people to support things they otherwise would not by exploiting their emotions, deceiving them with false information. And then people end up thinking things and acting in ways that they otherwise would not. So,

Brian Nichols  
let's go towards final thoughts. And it just it's funny how things happen at the gym today, lifting and my audio my music is going through. And then this song came on. Generals gathered in their masses, just like witches in black masses, evil minds that plot destruction. sorcerers of deaths construction in the fields, the body's burning as the war machine keeps turning death and hatred to mankind poisoning their brainwashed mines. Oh, Lord, yeah, politicians hide themselves away. They only started the war. Why should they go out to fight they leave that role to the poor time will tell on their power mines making war just for fun. Treating people just like pawns and chest wait until their judgment day comes. Now in darkness world stops turning ashes where their bodies burning. No more war pigs have the power. hands of God has struck the hour day of judgment. God is calling on their knees the war pigs crawling, begging mercy for their sins. Satan laughing spread his wings. Oh, Lord. Yeah, war pigs Black Sabbath popped on my workout today. And yeah, like, I got a little goosebumps because that song was like, what, 50 years ago written and it's as true, if not more true, Connor. And I guess you know, as I wrap my final thoughts up, I'll pose a question for you as you jump into yours. How do we stop this perpetual cycle? Because this has been happening? It seems to be continuing happening, and I fear it will continue to happen. So is there a way we can address that? Is it through writing books like true conspiracy? Or is it something else?

Connor Boyack  
Well, I think your question is a very important one. But it's also a very daunting one for the average person because they think I'm just one person, what can I do? And I have no big platform, I don't have a big following. What am I supposed to do? How do I how am I supposed to make a difference. And what I invite people to think about is that sometimes the biggest sphere of influence, the most important one you have is your own family. It's your close friends, it's you know, because so often, and I'm actually working on a book right now called Mind wars, which kind of expands a lot of this in detail. And I I'm talking about in the book, in fact, this weekend, I was working on this and I say, some of the greatest actions that have been taken civil disobedience, people fighting resistance, and so forth. They were influenced heavily these individuals, these actors by one person, so that one person might have think, a thought, Oh, shucks, you know, only one person, I've only ever changed the mind of one person. And I've only ever had seen one person, you know, put into practice what I was teaching them or whatever, right. And yet that one person goes on to impact millions. I think of Ron Paul, when his campaign was concluding. We had him on our podcast a year or two ago for the Tuttle twins. And I reminded him I said, Do you remember in 2012, when the revolution was ending? And everyone's like, what do we do next? What do we do next? You know, what's the next phase of the revolution? And he would just shrug, he's like, I don't know what to tell you. I'm not a central planner. You know, like, go go figure out what this means for you. And what's next for you? And he tells me on the podcast, Connor, I never would have thought to tell anyone, go write children's books. Right? The teachers ideas never would have come up. And yet I did it because I was heavily influenced by Ron Paul. And then you fast forward a little bit and you got this kid in Colorado who a few weeks ago was kicked out of school, because he had a Gadsden flag patch. And the school claimed that that had origins in slavery, which is totally false. Well, this kid Jaden Rodriguez, and reading the Tuttle twins for four years, he was learning about American history of free speech, everything else his mom had been reading with them. And this kid when presented with an opportunity to act stood up. I was fortunate enough to be the one to break that story and and share that online and it's spread like crazy, nearly 50 million views across social media. You look at the Google search traffic for the Gadsden flag, massive spike. Here's all these people now learning more about American history. Now digging into things because one kid Jaden stood up, but he was influenced by one guy me told Ben Shapiro, Ben was like, Hey, why do you know so much? And the guy was like, well, I'll give it to my mom and quarterback, but the Tuttle twins, I was influenced by Ron Paul, sometimes one person is all it takes that can be your kids. It can be your spouse, it can be your best friend, could be you know, your neighbor. So whatever your sphere of influence is, Don't lament the fact that it's not bigger. Just lift where you stand wherever you have the ability to take action, do that. And if we all do that, if we collectively engage, we can make a massive difference together, but we need strength in numbers. We need a lot more people engaged. That's you listening to this, Brian, that's you That's me, each within our own sphere of influence, finding ways to spread truth, to help people free themselves from deceptions and be prepared to fight in today's mind war.

Brian Nichols  
It's funny you say that Conor, because about three years ago, four years ago or so On the show here had kind of a coming to Jesus moment where I didn't want to just be another libertarian podcast that talks about libertarianism and how great libertarians are, I wanted to actually make a difference. So we took a hard one ad and we started talking about sales, marketing, how do we bring what I was doing in the b2b world? How do we bring it to the world of politics so we can actually win and meet people where they're at on the issues they care about. And with that, I wrote a new ebook back then it was called selling liberty, four easy steps to sell liberty to your friends and family and I, I did that on purpose. I focus on friends and family because, yeah, focus on your immediate circle first, that's where you can have the most impact. You're not gonna go out in the street corner and start preaching why the the Federal Reserve needs to be slashed, but rather start talking to your friends and talk a little bit about monetary policy.
