Alphas Make Sandwiches Ep. 71: Mad as a Hatter, Smartmatic in LA & The Crystal Veil
Description
It is Ashe's golden age birthday (47, an even MAGA number) and the ladies open with the most on brand baroque dinosaur and clown birthday card from Archangel Michael, leaf photo challenge submissions that look professionally lit, and a coffee photo challenge fail that Ashe is fully embracing. Ashe then digs into the history of her own birthday: James Madison introducing the Bill of Rights in 1789 (the part she would never let them change), George Orwell's 1984 published in 1949 with a passage about lack of understanding keeping people sane, and the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty. Christy takes the professor chair for mad as a hatter, which turns out to come from actual mercury poisoning in seventeenth century French hat makers and not Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Ashe walks through CannCon's research on Smartmatic and how its Venezuelan code lives on inside Dominion and Sequoia, the LA Spencer Pratt election circus, and Trump walking off Kristen Welker's barn set after she demanded evidence the media already knows exists. Cristina from Rise Attire joins to debut The Crystal Veil, her first short film and the start of Dauntless Tales, a stylized AI fantasy series in the spirit of Dark Crystal and Legend, with a Guy Fawkes knight, an allegory for a different psyop in every episode, and a reminder that our kids need to see good guys win.
