Joe Rogan Experience #2265 - Kurt Metzger

This is a loose, rambling, conspiracy-heavy conversation rather than a structured interview. Rogan and Metzger open by mocking the Trump meme coin and crypto culture (with a running 'Hawk Tuah coin' joke), then spiral into theories about political blackmail, the intelligence community, and Roy Cohn. They cover MK-Ultra and government chemical-spraying experiments on US cities, the origins of gold as currency and Zecharia Sitchin's Anunnaki theory, the Prussian public-school system as social control, and the propaganda role of the modern CIA and media. The back half drifts into UFO disclosure, the 1984 Olympics fake-alien stunt, Charles Hall's 'Tall Whites' aliens, and military psychological-operations recruiting films from Fort Bragg. It is far more a freewheeling riff on power, control, and skepticism than a product- or recommendation-driven episode.
