Quite Frankly Ep. 69: A Botched Execution, MK Ultra & a Grab Bag Solo Night

Episode 6217 Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description

Frankie Val is flying solo tonight after guest Adam Davies (the Bigfoot conference man) had to bump to Monday, so what was meant to be an interview becomes a thrown together grab bag, which Frankie insists is somehow more like the real him anyway.

He opens on a grim headline: Tennessee's failed execution of death row inmate Krista Pike, who survived two lethal injection doses, and uses it to question the strange ceremony and bureaucracy around capital punishment. A caller who actually knew Pike in school calls in with a haunting account of her childhood.

From there the night stretches into Frankie's bigger themes: MK Ultra, mass formation, and media mind war, the weaponizing of early childhood development, and his cynical read on how public shame can be rewritten into a monetized victimhood narrative. Expect videos to riff on, open phone lines, and plenty of calls.

Note: the raffle and keto brains winner move to Monday, so the whole weekend stays open for Super Chats.
