This is a big one. It makes me wistful for the 1980's when The Soviets controlled all of our minds (and if not our minds, our economic choices...Doritos, Miller Lite, & the like.)

Did you know that early Communist Russia almost became a Buddhist theocracy? That's just a fraction of the craziness that sets the foundations for later "Soviet Psychotronic Super Science"! I just had to get into the story of "Red Shambhala" & this is it! Don't hate the Great Player, hate The Great Game! It's history comrades...Enjoy!

My brain hurts...maybe I shouldn't have ate those brains? This episode covers everything in it's provocative title AND MORE! Listen to Mike pretend to speak Chinese! Oh, and one last "tidbit" of a programming note. All the jars along the walls in "ye olde timey apothecary shoppe" in the thumb art? Gonna go out on a limb and say that probably around 80% of them? Various jars of misc. animal piss. It's a safe assumption. ALSO! Coverage of yet another occult/ritual murder(s?) tied to this topic! AND YES! The terms "ragu/jazz" in this particular context are indeed code for menstrual blood and seminal fluid, respectively.
