Espionage, the occult and murder in southern California.
The book EMPIRE OF THE WHEEL is a true crime mystery, but within it’s pages, more questions are raised than answered.Murder, espionage and occult rituals are all intertwined in the narrative of this book. It doesn’t end there, because synchronicities, odd coincidences and un-answered questions were all part of the process of researching this eerie case. To make things even stranger, it has connections to the Zodiac killer from the 1960's.

Greg Bishop of RADIO MYSTERIOSO did an excellent interview (linked HERE) with both the authors, and that podcast makes for a tidy sister interview to this one. That episode is focused more on the content of the book, while this interview deals mostly with the process of researching and writing the book.

Mike,
ReplyDeleteWhen ever Walter appears, I stop and listen. I will comment on this after I listen, someday you be able to get Greg Bishop, Walter, Sesh Heri in a round table interview. I truly feel that 2 hours with these folks is never enough. I am waiting for someone to just say let's do a weeklong and really get deep. No distractions, no phone calls just a discussion that kicks hard. Hey and get Christopher Knowles in on this too!
Be well
Laurence
This was my 222nd post on this blog.
ReplyDeleteOh boy. Another dynamite interview. Have this one marked!
ReplyDeleteMike,
ReplyDeleteI filled up my gas tank in Taos, NM, today and the change I got back was $11.11
It was a ten and a one and a dime and penny.
Now I am trying to figure out the binary code of 101101
Ten and one, ten and one, or one zero one,one zero one.

Mike ,
ReplyDeleteThe number is 45 which added together is 9...
With all your number stuff you write about,I got thinking about this today as I rode down from Taos to Albuquerque...

I liked the interview. It touches on some of the questions I myself have regarding the repetition of archetypes and cyclical events throughout history, and whether there's an evil cabal showing their influence on all ages, or rather there's some mysterious mechanism governing the Universe that prompts these archetypes and symbols to appear again and again —I lean toward the latter.
ReplyDeleteI also think people should pay more attention to the 'absurd' component of both the Fortean phenomena, and the occult; because it very well may be that this absurdity in a clever engineered facade to keep certain events from gaining too much notoriety, while at the same time having a huge underground influence.
In the opening statement on the audio, i state (incorrectly) that it was recorded on Oct. 28th, 2011. I made a mistake, I should'a said: SEPTEMBER 28th, 2011.
ReplyDelete(ooops)
Just give it to us straight, Mike: you CAN travel in time! ;)
