The White Hat-Approved Healing Computer Monitor Controversy (Premium E310)
This week, Jake and Travis sit down with journalist Will Sommer to unpack his investigation into the New Age wellness empire selling stacks of flashing TV monitors as a cure‑all. Jason Shurka, the brains behind the multi-million dollar operation, used the funds to bankroll a brand new streaming platform, Unifyd TV, whose offerings include documentaries made by QAnon promoters. According to the promoters of this quack cure, their work is approved by a secret society of powerful entities who are dedicated to elevating humankind called “The Light Systems” cabal or “TLS.” One member of The Light Systems, a figure called “Ray,” is regularly filmed while wearing a face-concealing hoodie and gloves in order to preserve his anonymity in interviews with Shurka. These interviews can be seen on Unifyd TV.
It’s a lot. Just listen to the episode.

so glad to hear from will!!! classic episode
Trust the Plan: The Rise of QAnon and the Conspiracy That Reshaped the World - by Will Sommer (can’t help myself… Will cohosted a great pod with the Daily Beast that really got me through the 2020s+ ) so glad they brought him back
Did the med bed craze start with Elysium? God that’s depressing. Such a bad movie.
Was it? I remember rather liking it, in a popcorn action movie kind of way. I don't know that there was much more to it than that, but sometimes a cool cyborg gun is just a cool cyborg gun.
Late to this, but LOVE that the EES guys lie without even thinking/looking anything up — my guys, MIB came out 30 years ago. 20 years ago was still post-9/11.
Re: names with insufficient gravitas — every Catholic mass has a prayer that includes the phrase “together with [Leo] our Pope and ____ our bishop” right before communion. In the diocese where I grew up, the local bishop was named Kevin, so as we’re all kneeling, preparing to receive the literal body of Christ, you hear the priest go “together with Leo our Pope and Kevin our Bishop.” It was never not funny to me😅
Can we replace Julian with Will? Or Brad? Or Annie?
Will had their own gig I imagine.
The Ray guy sounds like an modulated AI voice
Will has their own gig I imagine.
An epsidoe of the cutest little giggles from these three. Enjoyed this one a lot!
BASIC?! I learned some BASIC in junior high...in 1981 🤣👵
Short and to the point though I have many more details: My brother gets a job to pour a shit ton of concrete in Scott’s Valley, CA. The lady claims to be an heir of a Lord of London and she has one of these machines set up in one of her houses on the compound in the redwoods (she owns 20 homes plus all neighboring one another to protect the Redwoods). I had a chance to look at the machine which was nothing more than a couple rack mounted machine, some monitors and cables about. She claimed to have it for a 1/4 million and would lay in there for hours every day. The screen had that exact cheap 90’s psychedelic screen saver on some of them and then the gibberish code on one of them. There was a bed with a pyramid frame over it and crystals setup around the space. This woman was supporting so many weird people and was doing upgrades to all the homes to remove the toxins from the water, EMF from the ether and who knows what else. It was sad to witness this stupidity and the waste of money/time doing nothing. She was sick and this wasn’t doing shit.
In defence of Jason, it’s the name of the Athenian equivalent of Hercules and is a thoroughly decent name for a hero who will save the world. (I’m also a Jake who has been called all the J names.)
Omg. I also have the same anti-Jason bias because of people calling me that by mistake
This is good.
I thought Jake was a fake name too
why q anon anonymous and not just q anonymous
You new here?
This episode reminds me of this sketch 🤣 https://youtu.be/z5ZKkv6w1lA?si=lK4WcwPljr-tMPII

Will, bring back FEVER DREAMS!!
Do video already!
If anyone been keeping up with Tim Ballard recently, seems he up to shenanigans very much worthy of a Julian episode: basically inserting himself into Syria with Israeli backed groups trying to do promotion for his dumbass movie and, uh, cause? Anyway seems he has accidentally (non-accidentally?) got people killed already, cos there ain't nothing more white American cis-missionary than that I guess. - a YouTube link to some ex Mormons covering it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzKKs_ZMT-M - - - (many whiffs of dodgy colonial behaviours going on at multiple levels)
Tight, tight.
Dude mid-oughts-halo-land-party-sleepover is a reference that takes me to some of the funnest days of my life… we would play capture the flag sidewinder matches 4v4 that would take over 8 hours to get 3 flag captures… haven’t thought of that in years thanks w Sommer
thanks, Travis. now I want a Jamba Juice
Gotta blender?
YES JAKE. make 👏 that 👏 indie 👏 film 👏
Nobodies going to bake the Light Cabal/Luciferian angle? Just me?
"It was that Will Smith song that really did the original Men in Black in. It was too catchy."
We're reaching levels of This Is Not That heretofore unseen
Yay Will Sommer!
pls make a video episode
Jason Rockatunechi.
The voice of the Ray VAs the way like someone in a mid rate Minecraft multiplayer server on YouTube would. “Oh who could that be? Guys did we invite anyone else to the server?!” It’s ARG levels of stilted, amateur line reads.
Science education is the only real antidote to this flim-flamarry… we’re funding that robustly, yes? Yes? Oh… we’re fucked.
Honestly if it decays enough these types of woo biology buzzword machines might be worse off
Now here's the primo slop that I come to this podcast for!
Woah, that's a hustle! That price / hour is nuts, but the damage fees wahhhhhhhh
My first thought as an epileptic: that flashing lights machine sounds like an absolutely horrible way to commit suicide. And it's not like some new age crystal jesus healer would know wtf to do with a photosensitive customer who goes into status epilepticus. Instead of turning the machine off and calling an ambulance they'd just say "oh look the bad vibes are exiting her body!" while you seize to death.
Classic style episode. Love it!
Liv Agar!
I was sailing down the California coast and we get to Ventura and my brother and I were getting drunk at this restaurant and this WoO WoO pretty mom next to us was talking about how she just bought a 15,000$ BioCharger to realign her body. She was a wealthy "Spiritual Financial Planner" and has a practice downtown 3 houses. I looked her up cause she was super nice, it was all true. She kept saying "like like, money, body, spirit you know?"
Is all of this stufF less a sign of political insanity and more a desperation to find a way to live as capitalism breaks down?
These two things are interlinked
the title alone broke me
Haha ... They reinvented napping. But it's insidious because there are light emitting devices that do serve a medical purpose. Red light therapies can help build collagen to heal wounds (or for wrinkles) and lightboxes are used to treat people with circadian rhythm sleep disorders and SAD... I'm not sure how effective these treatments are, but they are actual treatments you can get from actual doctors. So these light system people are even more nefarious I think...
Whoa! I just found Energy Enhancement Systems website. There are three centers within 45 minutes of my house in Northeast Ohio!😵
Ooo... Neighbors
Oh hey Will!
You’ve got to get Will back for a Southland Tales movie night sometime.
(This is a deep cut but I think I’m remembering that right from his old podcast)
Jake and Travis should star in a buddy cop TV show.
I can tell Jake is going to be very angry in this one.
Mr Sommer I presume
