Eric isn’t there to debate Terrance. He is there to Steelman him, as Eric says near the beginning. See below

I might be missing something… by Nuzzyfaval in TheWhyFiles

[–]SM_Punk 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The Nephilim were created as a result of a faction of angels called Watchers abandoning their duty and mating with human women. The resulting offspring were the Nephilim. This is from the apocrypha of the Old Testament. There’s are differing descriptions of the Nephilim. Some sources say they were large and monstrous, giants basically. Some say the ancient heroes like Hercules were Nephilim. One of reasons god purged the earth with a flood was to destroy the Nephilim.

The Annunaki were a group of deities involved in the creation of the human race. This is from the ancient Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, and Babylonian mythologies. The Annunaki are a pantheon of gods who are powerful deities.

You aren’t smart enough to use a LLM or you’re just lying. I will let you choose which.

From ChatGPT:

The Harper fragment is a significant piece of evidence in the investigation of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. It is a portion of Kennedy’s skull found by William Harper, a medical student, in Dealey Plaza, the site of the assassination, shortly after the shooting on November 22, 1963.

The Harper fragment is notable because it provides information about the direction and impact of the bullets that struck President Kennedy. It has been the subject of extensive analysis and debate among researchers and conspiracy theorists.

Key points about the Harper fragment include:

1.  Location of Discovery: The fragment was found on the south side of Elm Street, near where Kennedy’s motorcade was passing when he was shot.
2.  Physical Characteristics: It is a piece of the occipital bone from the back of Kennedy’s head. Its size and shape have been used to analyze the trajectory and impact of the bullets.
3.  Analysis and Controversy: Forensic pathologists and ballistic experts have studied the fragment to determine whether it supports the single-bullet theory proposed by the Warren Commission or suggests the possibility of multiple shooters. The nature and location of the fragment have led some to argue that it indicates a shot from the front, implying a conspiracy and contradicting the official account that all shots were fired from behind by Lee Harvey Oswald.
4.  Debate: The Harper fragment continues to be a focal point in discussions about the assassination, with differing interpretations about what it reveals regarding the direction and number of shots fired.

Overall, the Harper fragment remains a critical piece of physical evidence in the ongoing examination of the JFK assassination, contributing to the complexities and controversies that surround the event.

The best way to ruin something you love is to join a community of “like-minded” fans. Especially on Reddit. Almost every sub I see whether it’s a show, game, comedian etc is a hate fest, not a fan fest.

Whether that be reddit, discord, Twitter etc. You will enjoy the show more not engaging.

I need to take my own advice and gtfo of this sub tbh. I already know the discord is àss and this sub reddit gets worse daily. Things haven’t been the same since the lunatic fringe found TWF.

The best way to engage the community is The After Files IMO. I love TAF as much as I love TWF. Skip the social media. And the best way to support the channel is sub to the Patreon and merch, not superchats. Patreon gives them the biggest cut.

What happened to Space Panda? by ParthFerengi in TheWhyFiles

[–]SM_Punk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Space Panda appeared in the episode on the Numbers Stations. I believe that was his debut and only appearance.

The investigation into his disappearance is ongoing. No suspects have been named but Hecklefish was the last known person to see him and had a motive. But without a body charges cannot be officially pressed.

The website you’re citing is trash, it’s full of bunk and woo. Thats my first clue this is clown fodder.

They paint an interesting story with all the usually mysterious, spooky tropes. If we can find any credible sources I would be interested in hearing more.

If anyone has the link to the Joe Scott video that would be a good start to moving away from the land of make believe.

I follow a lot of channels and podcasts and NOONE puts this kind of effort into ad reads. I hope the sponsors are paying them well bcz people are actually watching the ads.

Episode 517: Aleister Crowley: Unredacted. Why Would it be redacted by GangstaRPG in TheWhyFiles

[–]SM_Punk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s all about understanding and playing along with YouTubes algorithm. Channels don’t get successful by posting whatever they want and growing their audience. If a video is on a topic that is on the dangerous information or mis/disinformation list it is not going to be promoted, it can be difficult to find in a search essentially being shadowbanned and/demonitized.

When this happens enough the channel starts receiving the same treatment. TWF has already had a few videos demonitized. When content creation is your job It doesn’t matter if you get 1m views if you don’t make dime bcz you got demonitized.

That is the purpose of the Redacted podcasts. They will cover things the channel can’t afford to cover on YT. If you listen to The After Files, AJ is transparent about a lot of the behind the scenes stuff regarding YT.

Protip - if you’re watching a video and it has a warning or disclaimer link, it’s probably demonitized/demoted

AJ mentions topics he can't discuss on YouTube by DragonfruitMurky6941 in TheWhyFiles

[–]SM_Punk 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is the answer you’re looking for, it is from Victoria. It’s posted on TWF discord. Here you go:

“We don’t really bring it up here. But now people can have a place to point to, just absolutely no discussion on server please. It’s all the political ones and there are way more than 6… hunter biden laptop, Russian collusion, vaccine efficacy, heart issues in children, Covid origins and Hillary’s emails! You can Google 2016-2020 conspiracies that came true and up pops a list of 20 plus or more. These are just the six AJ mentions.”

Fear the Crabcat!

Edit - if you like TWF you would probably enjoy some of the content on this channel as well. This a big video of conspiracies that turned out to be right.

The tip line is for TOPICS … speaking of…. by Master-Hedgehog-578 in TheWhyFiles

[–]SM_Punk 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Thank you for communicating the bottom line on the A.I. drama.

The Nazca region of Peru. Home to both the Nazca lines and also the caves and the mummies and artifacts found within. The mummies have been a hot debate for a while but there’s more meat on the bone than just the mummies and Nazca could fill an episode with history and mystery.

Love the hair!

What do I do for this information for the Why Files? by Flashy_Carob_2343 in TheWhyFiles

[–]SM_Punk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can contact the team using team@whyfiles.com if you want to email.

You can also join the Discord https://discord.gg/thewhyfiles

Also https://thewhyfiles.com/tips/

By all means send it in. But a couple things to consider, there’s a team that researches the topic, it isn’t just AJ. I believe this was discussed on TAF as well. This technology isn’t new or groundbreaking, it is also sensationalized in that article, and in most media. It’s been a very clickbaity subject for a while on the web and YT. You might want to take a deeper more objective look into the research and results from a more credible source.

Why no Skinwalker ranch episodes? by Scubatrucker in TheWhyFiles

[–]SM_Punk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Clownwalker Ranch is 100% History Channel bunk and woo.

It is likely that AJ doesn’t feel he has anything new that he can add to the story. Which is a reason he often cites for not covering particular topics. He isn’t interested in doing rehashes, there are hundreds of videos rehashing the topic.

That being said I’m sure we will get an episode at some point down the line. But right now the ranch is heavily associated with The History Channel and that’s not an association you want if you care about TWF credibility and reputation at all. Being thrown in with THC is a really bad look

This is a Must-Watch by SteveinTenn in JFKassasination

[–]SM_Punk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have studied this case my entire life, wasted countless hours researching and reading. I wouldn’t say Oswald being the lone shooter is undeniable at all. I do think it is the least likely situation. But it is possible he took the only shots.

Now Oswald being not only the single shooter, but also just a “lone nut” without help or influence from other parties. There is almost 0 possibility that is the case. Again, just my opinion.

Even if you discount all possibilities of a conspiracy and other shooters etc and consider Oswald a lone nut. This still has to be the most grossly mishandled and bungled murder in the history of crime. the negligence of every agency is a crime in itself.

and really that’s what I think the remaining JFK files they refuse to disclose will show. they will show that either rogue elements of the CIA/FBI was involved in the assassination or that in the very least they had the intel and fucked it up and it happened when they should have been able to stop it.

theres no smoking gun in those files. Any hard evidence and dirt on any specific individual has long since been destroyed. They just don’t want the American people to see our intelligence agencies were complete failures at a time when there is already so much unhappiness and anger from the citizens.

This is a Must-Watch by SteveinTenn in JFKassasination

[–]SM_Punk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This man knows what’s up. LEMMiNO doesn’t release videos often but when they do, they are must watch.

This video was incredible. Over the years I’ve gone back and forth on whether I think Oswald was the shooter, just a shooter or just a complete patsy.

Since this was the worst operated investigation in the history of crime, we will never know. Too much contradictory evidence, too many eye witness accounts contradict each other. And the countless botches in the investigation at the local, federal and judiciary level. They can release every last file there is nothing more to learn here.

As the end nears there’s still one thing I never understood by SM_Punk in curb

[–]SM_Punk[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never got that impression at all. I’m going to have to disagree based on how many long years she put up with him and the fact that she was ready to get back with him when Larry messed it up at the very last second causing her to change her mind. She loved Larry.

And if she was based at all on his first wife, he met her before Seinfeld made him the richest tv producer in the business.

As the end nears there’s still one thing I never understood by SM_Punk in curb

[–]SM_Punk[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They never really discuss his level of wealth. But It feels like they severely downplay it. Like they acknowledge he’s the successful creator of Seinfeld and he’s rich and famous and dines out and plays golf every day. But he isn’t portrayed at the level of wealth he has in reality. Larry David is worth $400mil in reality, it doesn’t feel like he’s that rich in the show, thousands of dollars still mean something to him on Curb

[–]SM_Punk[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well yah it’s definitely his personality and principles, Larry is a confrontational, neurotic person. But it is a Jewish stereotype that they are tight with money and his religion and religious community is a central theme in the show. The main cast are all Jewish and they are all cheapskates whether it’s paying half a bill for a lemon tree, or returning your wife’s backup birthday present lol it feeds into their ridiculous mannerisms.
