It was the last year of the existence of the USSR, 1991 when Lenin was a mushroom (Russian: Ленин — гриб), a highly influential TV show was broadcasted on the Leningrad Television show Pyatoe Koleso (The Fifth Wheel). It was produced by the Soviet musician Sergey Kuryokhin and reporter Sergey Sholokhov to show the alleged origins of the Bolshevik revolution.
The premise of their theory was that the revolution was led by people who had been consuming hallucinogenic mushrooms. In the process of consumption, these mushrooms altered people’s personalities, so that people [effectively] became mushrooms [themselves]. […]. Hence, their human personalities were replaced with mushroom personalities along with, Vladimir Lenin, their Bolshevik leader, who they had said, was simply a mushroom and when he died, he turned into a mushroom.
In fact, Lenin had consumed so many mushrooms that their fungal “consciousness” had completely consumed him in return.
Kuryokhin tells the audience that after consuming a steady dose of psychedelic mushrooms over the course of several years, Lenin had at some point himself become a mushroom. A transformation that may have sparked the Bolshevik Revolution that brought him to power. According to the story, Kuryokhin had been traveling in Mexico when he came across some art mirroring the images from the October Revolution of 1917 which he theorized could not be a coincidence.
The common denominator? Mushrooms!
Here are the videos – Part 1 and 2 along with my commentary below.
Part 2
Kuryokhin stated, “I have absolutely irrefutable proof that the October Revolution was carried out by people who had been consuming certain mushrooms for many years. And these mushrooms, in the process of being consumed by these people, had displaced their personalities. These people were turning into mushrooms. In other words, I simply want to say that Lenin was a mushroom.”
Kuryokhin also made references to mushrooms being not only made out of radio waves, “they are radio waves.” The person he says is “gradually turning into a mushroom and accordingly, into radio waves,” he says.
This concept is interesting because many critics say that most of the claims made in Lenin Was a Mushroom are false and absurd such as mushrooms are radio waves but the facts are they emit radio waves and even sound. Today, researchers are able to tap into the electromagnetic communication network of mushrooms using wires, radio waves, and circuits to find and listen to fungi. To do so, they have developed what is called the Mycophone which is a new technology used to extract sounds embedded in fungi —or compressed there, we might say in the language of MP3s.
Kuryokhin made further claims “the word” Lenin “is the opposite – this ninel, the famous French mushroom soup” – although there is no soup named as such and he gives an example of Lenin’s favorite composer – Beethoven, whose surname Kuryokhin translates as “bet – mushroom, hoven – spirit.”
Millions of Soviets did not know what to think and that was the whole point. Were they witnessing a serious program or an elaborate prank by the Soviet Deep State New Magi?
After all, as you can see, Kuryokhin seems to mix truth with ludicrous theories.
In an account given by Sholokhov in a 2008 interview with the Russian women’s magazine Krestyanka, the day after the Lenin Was a Mushroom aired, some Bolshevik veterans approached an official at the Leningrad Regional Party Committee demanding answers whether it was true that Lenin had been a mushroom. She replied that the story had to be false, “Because a mammal cannot be a plant.”
It is funny because fungi/molds are neither plant nor animal and they breathe oxygen just like humans…
The timing of the hoax played a large role in its success, coming as it did during the glasnost period when the ebbing of censorship in the Soviet Union led to many revelations about the country’s history, often presented in sensational form. Furthermore, Soviet television had, up to that point, been regarded by its audience as conservative in style and content. As a result, a large number of Soviet citizens (one estimate puts the number at 11.3 million audience members) took the deadpan “interview” at face value, in spite of the absurd claims presented.
Sholokhov has said that perhaps the most notable result of the show was an appeal by a group of party members to the Leningrad Regional Committee of the CPSU to clarify the veracity of Kuryokhin’s claim. According to Sholokhov, in response to the request one of the top regional functionaries stated that “Lenin could not have been a mushroom” because “a mammal cannot be a plant.” Modern taxonomy classifies mushrooms as fungi, a separate kingdom from plants.
“Until that year, it was 1991, it was very difficult to imagine that kind of hoax,” says Alexei Yurchak, an associate professor of socio-cultural and linguistic anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley. Yurchak is the author of an essay about the event, A Parasite From Outer Space: How Sergei Kurekhin proved that Lenin was a mushroom. “The fact that he did it with Lenin made the hoax work. If he had used somebody else, it wouldn’t be feasible, but because it was Lenin, it was so hard to believe that this was a hoax.”

The infamous holistic doctor and webmaster, Dr. Mercola, announced yesterday that he would be completely removing 25 years’ worth of articles from his website archives to appease U.S. Government authorities. In modern internet terms, it was akin to the Sack of the Library of Alexandria, but just the American Holistic section and digitally.
The Sack of Mercola’s Internet Archives happened just weeks after the coordinated effort of the New York Times and the White House listing Mercola in a group of 12 people who were responsible for sharing 65 percent of all anti-vaccine messaging on social media.
This Disinformation Dozen includes well-known anti-vaccination activists such as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, as well as influencers like Rizza Islam and Kevin Jenkins who deliver anti-vaccine falsehoods to the African-American population.
They state that these 12 people are generating two-thirds of anti-vaccination content on Facebook and Twitter.
As the CCDH claims, “the public cannot make informed decisions about their health when they are constantly inundated by disinformation and false content.”
For doing so, Mercola and the other 11 Perps are now grouped in with Hate Groups.
Like parasitic wasps looking for new prey, the N.Y. Times openly says these same reporters WASPS will track, chronicle, and debunk false and misleading information that is going viral online.
It didn’t take long for the poison of the White House and N.Y. Times reporter’s virtual ink to settle within Mercola’s veins.
Within days of the coordinated media and government attack, Mercola admitted defeat, stating he was deleting all his content on his website within 48 hours in a widely distributed letter and Youtube video.
“I am beyond thrilled that there are tens of millions of people who have benefitted from what I have shared over the years,” Mercola said in a letter to his followers.
“These were the times when many of the views I presented were criticized, but that’s to be expected. That was one of the great freedoms we enjoyed. We could have different views and we could speak openly about these views without fear of retribution.”
Mercola continues, “But we are now in a different time. A much darker time. The silence of free speech is now deafening.”
He also says that he is NOT going away and will continue publishing articles and videos but delete them within 48 hours. So apparently, with the help of the Dr.’s own words, the WASPS are already on to his new plan, and from the looks of things, it doesn’t look good for Mercola.
In fact, from the looks of the attacks, they will not stop until he is finished.
While Mercola walks away from the free speech fight with broken wings, a digital muzzle, and an empty website arch-Hive, the reporters WASPS have publicly announced their victory over his rotting and half-dead holistic corpse with series of new articles and also an in-your-face warning to the crafty Mercola.
I gueSS unlike Alexandria, they know Mercola has a 100 GB backup drive and Caesar won’t stop until the last pages are burned!
Hell, when the paid experts WASPS start not just chiming into the conversation but singing stinging in a globally coordinated chorus and the Chicago Tribune are also making memes like below, you know, it is not long until “you are publically finished.”
The head authorities WASPS are now proclaiming, “him trying to come up with his own strategies of avoiding his content being taken down, while also playing up this martyrdom and “this is exactly what happens when you are enforcing policies against Covid misinformation — people try extreme ways to work around your restrictions.”
In a post on his website, Dr. Mercola, an osteopathic physician in Cape Coral, Fla., said he was deleting his writings because President Biden had “targeted me as his primary obstacle that must be removed” and because “blatant censorship” was being tolerated.
Dr. Mercola has built a vast operation to disseminate anti-vaccination and natural health content and to profit from it, according to researchers. He employs teams of people in places like Florida and the Philippines, who swing into action when news moments touch on health issues, rapidly publishing blog posts and translating them into nearly a dozen languages, then pushing them to a network of websites and to social media.
An analysis by The New York Times found that he had published more than 600 articles on Facebook that cast doubt on Covid-19 vaccines since the pandemic began, reaching a far larger audience than other vaccine skeptics. Dr. Mercola criticized The Times’s reporting in his post on Wednesday, saying it was “loaded with false facts.”
Rachel E. Moran, a researcher at the University of Washington who studies online conspiracy theories, said the announcement by Dr. Mercola was “him trying to come up with his own strategies of avoiding his content being taken down, while also playing up this martyrdom of being an influential figure in the movement who keeps being targeted.”
Aaron Simpson, a Facebook spokesman, said, “This is exactly what happens when you are enforcing policies against Covid misinformation — people try extreme ways to work around your restrictions.”
Facebook, he said, “will continue to enforce against any account or group that violates our rules.”

There are many conspiracy theories surrounding the date of September 11, 2001 when it is alleged that the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda attacked the U.S. and brought down the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers.
Some people say that The Powers That Be (TPTB) had placed signs and inserted symbolic messages forewarning us in various forms of media such as Hollywood made TV movies like the 1999 Gnostic masterpiece, The Matrix. (more…)
