EP.608

Did pop music hit its high note in 1970 and start sliding downhill after? In this episode, we unpack James Perloff’s deep dive into what he calls pop’s “golden year.” From soulful ballads and lush orchestration to disco fever and corporate playlists, we look at how melody, meaning, and variety gave way to formula and repetition. Perloff connects the dots between music, media control, and cultural engineering asking whether the decline was just changing tastes or something more deliberate. Part nostalgia trip, part cultural postmortem, it’s a fascinating look at how the soundtrack of our lives got standardized.

In this gripping episode of The Michael Decon Program, Michael Decon reunites with Danish author and researcher Ole Dammegard, a veteran guest known for his deep dives into political assassinations and alleged false flag operations. Ole opens up about Sweden's recent constitutional changes blending criticism of NATO with labels like "conspiracy theorist" or "espionage," warning that his outspoken views could land him up to 18 years in prison if he returns home despite past honors like the Prague Peace Prize and adoption by the Apache nation. He shares how these pressures inspired his new "Demi Guardian Freedom Retreats" in Bali, intensive seven-day immersions from April 1-7 (Swedish) and April 18-25, 2026 (English), designed to empower attendees with tools to decode staged events, release fear, and foster truth-seeking networks in a stunning rice-field valley retreat center.​

The conversation flows into Bali's unique spiritual culture, where locals responded to the 2002 Kuta bombing not with revenge, but with mass prayers for forgiveness, contrasting sharply with Western outrage cycles fueled by media and chemical "rushes" from anger. Ole links this to post-9/11 "War on Terror" escalations, including the Bali attack's rapid FBI presence and odd injuries suggesting beta-tested weapons, aimed at pressuring holdout nations like Australia into compliance. He reveals predicting or exposing 77 alleged attacks via forensic clues from insiders, emphasizing emotional balance and compassion as antidotes to propaganda's problem-reaction-solution playbook.​

Ole advises everyday listeners to spot psyops by pausing fear-based narratives pumped through screens, treating them like marketing ploys that prime us for solutions like endless wars or restrictions. With AI blurring reality, he now limits interviews to maintain discernment, urging a shift from division to upliftment through personal energy "ripples."

EP.607

The boys are back from their so called “holiday break,” and surprise, surprise chaos didn’t take a vacation. Rumors are flying faster than private jets to Little St. James: whispers that Hillary and Bill Clinton might be splitting up. Apparently, Hillary’s not thrilled to see Bill’s name pop up in the Epstein files who knew?

Meanwhile, over in La-La Land, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are… something. Friends? Lovers? A PR dream team? Nobody knows, but everyone’s pretending they do. One thing’s for sure Ariana’s looking startlingly fragile, and the internet’s collectively pretending not to notice.

And speaking of transformations Jelly Roll’s slimmed down faster than America’s attention span. But now the question is: who’s his audience? The tattooed, beer can crushing outlaws who saw themselves in him… or a newer, cleaner crowd that’s into “reformed bad boy chic”? Losing weight might be the healthiest thing he’s ever done career wise, maybe not.

All that and more as the boys return in truly classic form: unfiltered, unbothered, and ready to offend anyone with Wi-Fi. Listen at your own risk.
