You can find the whole thing at both the Things Observed patreon as well as the ParaPower Mapping patreon!Below is a description of some of what we discuss from the man himself Klonny:Synchronicities b/w Hanussen & Hitler's lives; Levenda & Lewis's contention that EJH taught Hitler mass hypnosis; his possibly embellished birth in a holding cell in Vienna; his vaudevillian upbringing; Hanussen's possible Sabbatean or Frankist lineage (via a Spence essay); the presence of said sects in the Steinschneider hometown of Prossnitz; his "Orientalist" & esotericist uncle Moritz; EJH's childhood obsession w/ Emperor Nero; his purported capture of a highwayman at 9 years old; EJH running away to join the circus as a preteen; EJH's intro to sexual blackmail as telepathic paparazzo for the Viennese tabloid Der Blitz; his manipulation of a printer's strike; his conscription into the Austro-Hungarian army; his WWI service; his time in a burial squad & his cemetery séance; mentalist routines in the trenches; Hanussen bribing a military censor to feed him letters so he could use them as proof of his clairvoyance; his abortive attempt to fake war neuroses; EJH going AWOL for 2 weeks to perform in Vienna, which led to him winning the hearts of the Austro-Hungarian royal family... leading to his transfer from the front lines to a performing unit at the family's behest; EJH's growing fame as a mentalist & psychic detective post-WWI; his manipulation of the experimental psychologist Joe Labero, who he tricked into teaching him "muscle reading" to expose a fellow magician—a technique that would become central to EJH's routine; history of muscle reading, which brings us to US neurologists & psychologists like Dr. Beard & William James; Hanussen & Freud discussing hypnosis in Vienna; the undeniable connections b/w the two men via Freud's acolyte Schilder, who observed Erik; EJH's work as a hypnotist at the Institute for Breath Therapy; Hanussen's psychic "detection" of the culprit behind the theft of 100ks of kronen bills from an Austrian mint; the possibility EJH conspired crimes only to solve them & boost his legend; his opportunistic attempts to manipulate the "Vampire of Düsseldorf" killings for media coverage; the Vampire's (aka Peter Kurten) disgusting bestiality paraphilia = the sex magickal ritual killings of animals at Crowley's Abbey of Thelema; the Vampire -> to Fritz Lang's noir oeuvre, particularly M & the Dr. Mabuse trilogy; the likelihood Dr. Mabuse was directly inspired by EJH, connecting to the TV series Babylon Berlin, which has a hypno criminal mastermind character who was definitely inspired by Dr. Mabuse & EJH; the show's allusions to EJH's sexual blackmail & the private séance that he performed for the Krupp family; and we set the stage for Hanussen's arms trading, espionage, & Nazi-filled pleasure cruises in the subsequent installment... Plus much more.Giant thanks to PPM for all the hard work he has put into researching Hanussen. Go follow all his work because he is the man and you're missing out if you don't!
