Rise To Liberty is a parapolitical talk show with religion, conspiracy research, and survivor testimony at its center. Jacob Johnson presents himself as a parapolitical and conspiracy researcher, and the show follows that lane with little interest in sounding neutral for its own sake. It is blunt. Recent episodes circle around Satanic Panic narratives, Australian ritual abuse allegations, MKUltra, mind control, Mormon institutional power, and occult interpretations of religious history. The structure is loose but recognizable. Johnson opens conversationally, names the subject, introduces a guest or source, and then works through a moral argument about coercion, deception, and hidden systems of control. Some episodes are solo-led and source-reactive. Others are long guest conversations where the guest’s personal history drives the episode. Justin Riggs discusses leaving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, excommunication for apostasy, and his claims about LDS history and abuse response. Anonymous Italian speaks as a survivor choosing anonymity, describing memory, therapy, faith, family connections, and the difficulty of recognizing patterns that others dismiss. Heidi Love brings an ex-Mormon perspective through The Unfiltered Rise podcast, talking about helping Mormons while also criticizing church leaders, Joseph Smith, magical practice, and occult influence. The show’s strongest moments come when the host lets a guest run, then steps back in to sharpen the stakes. It can be repetitive. That repetition is part of the rhythm: a claim is stated, challenged against public dismissal, restated in plainer language, and folded into a larger argument about liberty. The show treats pop culture symbolism, church history, survivor testimony, and social media reactions as pieces of one contested map. It does not soften its worldview. It also does not separate religious critique from political suspicion, which gives the show its volatile, personal charge. Rise To Liberty suits listeners who want fringe investigative conversation, anti-authoritarian religious criticism, and emotionally direct interviews about abuse allegations and institutional trust. It is less suited to anyone looking for cautious academic framing or conventional true-crime restraint.
Made for: For listeners drawn to conspiracy research, ex-Mormon testimony, religious power struggles, and anti-authoritarian commentary. It fits an audience comfortable with blunt claims and emotionally heavy subjects.
What sets it apart: The show blends LDS-focused criticism with broader parapolitical themes, moving from church history to alleged ritual abuse and mind control without treating those subjects as separate worlds.
With modern society's increasing despotism, the individual has never been more crucial. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness without the danger of violence or coercion—virtues to which we are all entitled—are under attack. Welcome to Rise To Lib
