Secret Societies, Elite Networks and Hidden Influence With Troy Whitworth

Brian Trust and Troy Whitworth explore why secret societies continue to inspire theories about wealth, influence and decisions made behind closed doors. The conversation follows a recap of their JFK episode and considers how historical organizations compare with modern networks of powerful people.

On Conspiracies with Brian Trust, the pair discuss the Masons, Yale’s Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, Aleister Crowley, L. Ron Hubbard and Disney’s private clubs. They also examine concerns about information filtering online and references to secrecy and initiation in popular culture, including Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut.

The episode presents these subjects as speculation and entertainment, distinguishing questions and personal theories from established facts.
