In a now viral video posted by Miranda Derrick's family on February 22nd of this year, it is alleged that Miranda is being exploited and held against her will by a christian cult in Los Angeles. While this is usually the tone parents take when their baby girl makes it big in the city, there are more than a few very questionable behaviors and beliefs within the cult that would leave any parents concerned. The agency behind this cult, 7M films, has close ties to the Shekinah church, one that epitomizes the New Age to Fascist pipeline, as well as close ties to many powerful and decidedly ungodly people. Is Miranda being exploited, or is it her decision to be in an evil cult? Decide today along with us y'all.
Julius & Ethel Rosenberg were American citizens who were convicted of spying on behalf of the Soviet Union. The couple were convicted of providing top-secret information about radar, sonar, jet propulsion engines and valuable nuclear weapon designs (at that time the United States was the only country in the world with nuclear weapons). Convicted of espionage in 1951, they were executed by the federal government of the United States in 1953 at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York, becoming the first American civilians to be executed for such charges and the first to receive that penalty during peacetime. With the world once again being fated by possible war time, we thought this was a good week to look back at the greatest spy case in american history.

Since his arrival into the realm of celebrity, Andrew WK has been shrouded by mystery. Accusations that he was an industry plant, a tool of Scientology or even a government psy-op all center around the messianic man in white, but the biggest is that he may in fact be someone else entirely, or at least not himself. Some say WK was replaced in the early oughts for a more agreeable actor, later resurfacing under the alias Steev Mike. Steev Mike is a producer for WK, and is the Tony Clifton to WKs Andy Kaufman, an alias with more hatred for Andrew than he has proof of his own existence. Mike has played foil to WK as well as helped him produce his greatest albums, but who is he? Find out today as we take a deep dive into the industry plant iceberg.
