Breaking Free of Psyops Ep. 1: The Enduring Influence of Aleister Crowley

In this inaugural episode, Matt Ehret launches Breaking Free of Psyops with a deep dive into the life, ideology, and lasting influence of Aleister Crowley. Far from a fringe occult figure, Crowley is presented as a central architect of modern cultural and psychological manipulation, with ties to intelligence networks, secret societies, and ideological movements that continue shaping today’s world.

The discussion explores Crowley’s philosophy of Thelema, the concept of radical individual will, and how these ideas allegedly permeated music, film, politics, and warfare. From occult rituals and esoteric orders to connections with World War psyops, intelligence operations, and modern institutions, this episode lays out a sweeping narrative of influence across generations.

This is a dense but foundational episode aimed at understanding how belief systems, culture, and power structures may be engineered and weaponized.
