Alright, y’all, we’re kicking off a wild ride into Operation Paperclip with this overview episode of what's to come,  but you know we ain’t stopping at just the surface-level history. Nope. We’re peeling back the layers to see what was really going on when the U.S. scooped up a bunch of Nazi scientists and gave ‘em shiny new jobs. Was it just about rockets and national security, or was there something way darker at play?Brandon, BT, and Lindsy dive into the spiritual undercurrents behind the Nazi regime, the occult influences that fueled their twisted ideology, and whether Operation Paperclip was just a glorified tech transfer or a backdoor for an ancient rebellion to keep rolling. Y’all, we’re talking Watchers, Nephilim, Babel, secret societies, eugenics, and how all of this still shapes the world we live in today. You ready?, ‘cause this ain’t your high school history class.Books mentioned:Operation Paperclip: The Secret Intelligence Program That Brought Nazi Scientists to America – Annie JacobsenArea 51: The Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base – Annie JacobsenUnholy Alliance: A History of Nazi Involvement with the Occult – Peter LevendaHitler’s Monsters: A Supernatural History of the Third Reich – Eric KurlanderThe Book of Enoch The Book of Giants – Dead Sea Scrolls fragment, authorship attributed to ancient textsDemons and Spirits in Biblical Theology – John H.
