Conspiracy Theory – Narratively Speaking

NSP042 – COVID-19 was just a story

The COVID-19 pandemic majorly affected the entire world.

But now that the data is in, and the pandemic is seemingly in it’s final phase; with the benefit of hindsight, does our global response seem proportionate? Have those of us who had doubts and questions in the midst of an purported global apocalypse been vindicated in the long term?

And do we even care anymore? Pandemic fatigue is real!

But I guess we care just enough to have one last look at it!

NSP041 – Stories we tell to control one another

Quarantine shaming and mask shaming are new concepts that have risen out of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, but cancel culture in general was shaming people before it was cool.

These social pressures have rapidly become issues we have to deal with every day, especially those of us who entertain alternative views. But it wasn’t always this way.

Harv sits down (virtually) with film-maker, musician and podcaster Keith “Legion” Snyder to talk about his take on this new cultural phenomenon as a self-proclaimed but non-conforming millennial.

NSP039 – Stories that Create Panic

There has been a string of news stories lately that may give one the impression the world is falling apart. But is it the world, or just the narratives unravelling?

Harv examines some of the strangeness going on in the world recently and tries to make sense of it all.

Shall we get confused together?

NSP035 – Stories we’re told about the Music Industry

You hear all sorts of stories regarding the shady dealings of the music industry — not least of all the idea that artist must “sell their soul” for success.

But what does this actually mean? Is it just a metaphor for giving up creative freedom, or are there more nefarious responsibilities associated with a record contract.

Let’s discuss…

NSP031 – Selfishness, Fairness & the Jeffrey Epstein Story

Facebook group member Anja Bache-Wiig Solberg asks: What about “fairness”? It’s a great question, and one Harv addresses with keen interest in this week’s episode.

Indeed, with the Jeffrey Epstein suicide (or was he #suicided), the question of “fairness” and “justice” have been on everybody’s mind.

Will this turn of events silence the alternative media, or unite their voices in revolution? It appears to be a dangerous gamble for the powerful.

NSP024 – Stories They Tell Us About Aliens

Do you believe in aliens? I don’t know your answer, but I bet you have one ready!

Our culture is steeped in stories about off-planet entities, be it fling saucers, alien abductions, interplanetary civilisations seeding humanity, or full on interplanetary war. Ronald Reagan even wished for the latter, as it would make his job easier… !

But what keeps these stories circulating and why are we so attracted to them? Let’s discuss…

NSP017 – The Story Jim Carrey is Telling Us

Jim Carrey has been in the media in the past few years seemingly wavering between depressed, confused and completely insane. But is he crazy, or is he undergoing a spiritual transformation that we just don’t yet understand?

Today is the first in a new series on Narratively Speaking where we examine public figures and the stories they tell.

NSP016 – The Stories They Tell Us About Big Brother

Years ago conspiracy theorists told us we were being watched, monitored and spied on, with all our communication being catalogued into a massive surveillance database.

Then Edward Snowden came along and told us the conspiracy theorists were right! Who would have thunk it?

But, true or not, how does this story of the Orwellian “Surveillance State” affect us, and how does it function to modify our behaviour as a society?

Let’s dig in!

NSP015 – Stories That Sustain The Empire

Western civilisation exhibits many characteristics of your average, garden variety evil empire.

But how did we get here? And what stories keep us complicit in a system that we would probably find abhorrent if we truly faced its underlying reality? Is it all a big inter-generational conspiracy or something more systemic? Perhaps plain old human nature?

Let’s muddle our way through some unqualified and ill-conceived thoughts on the topic, shall we?
