Jon Herold and Zak Paine open Episode 186 on Memorial Day with Jon describing how he found a lone star tick crawling up his arm the night before, making the follow-up to last week's tick episode feel extremely personal.

The full hour is dedicated to tracing the documented history of US government tick and insect bioweapons programs. Jon walks through Nazi scientist Dr. Eric Traub, brought to America under Operation Paperclip in 1945, who set up the Plum Island research facility nine miles from Lyme, Connecticut. USDA National Archives files bearing Traub's name and labeled "tick research" were found empty.

Jon then walks through a series of declassified programs: Operation Sea Spray spraying bacteria over San Francisco Bay civilians in 1950, bacteria-filled light bulbs smashed in the New York City subway in 1962, plague and flea drops over Cuba, and 282,800 radioactive lone star ticks released across Virginia between 1966 and 1969 that reached Long Island by 1970.

The episode closes with the most damning piece: a 2013 filmed interview in which Dr. Willie Bergdorfer, the scientist who officially "discovered" Lyme disease, admitted on camera that the Borrelia pathogen causing modern Lyme disease was the same one he had created as a US military bioweapons agent in 1952.

What if Roswell never happened? In this episode, Matt Ehret dismantles the foundational stone of the entire UFO disclosure movement piece by piece. From Lawrence Rockefeller personally lobbying the Clinton White House to release UFO files, to forged Majestic 12 documents typed on machines built decades after the supposed date, to a CIA director's memo describing UFOs as a psychological warfare tool, to a stage magician publicly admitting he faked the 1995 alien autopsy broadcast, the evidence points in one direction. The civilian UFO research groups were founded by CIA directors. The key whistleblowers were disinformation operatives. The Hollywood films required government collusion. Ehret also introduces the Aviary, a covert intelligence network of operatives with bird code names managing the entire misinformation pipeline. The myth was always the product. Roswell was just where they launched it.

Ghost and Colonel Towner Watkins deliver a sweeping two-host examination of Henry Kissinger, the man at the center of nearly every major globalist operation of the twentieth century. From his OSS Ritchie Boy origins and his CIA-funded Harvard institute to his dual role as national security adviser and secretary of state, Kissinger operated as the connective tissue between the Rockefellers, the Fabian Society, and the deep state apparatus. Ghost and the Colonel trace his fingerprints on the Chilean coup, the petrodollar deal, the Nixon-China opening, Operation Cyclone and the birth of Al Qaeda, the Iran-Iraq war arms sales, and the Khashoggi-Epstein money laundering network. They also connect Kissinger to the founding of the World Economic Forum, the Trilateral Commission, and the Pilgrim Society, the institutions now being dismantled by the Trump administration. A dense, interconnected deep dive into the architect of the rules-based international order.

Jon Herold comes in on Memorial Day a little lighter than usual, kids are in the backyard on the slip and slide, and the news is slow enough to get real about some things that need saying. The biggest one: everybody is getting very excited about the reports Tulsi Gabbard is expected to release before she leaves, covering Havana syndrome, COVID origins, and 2020 election fraud. Jon is asking the questions nobody wants to sit with: why are these reports being rushed out because she is leaving, were they always going to come on this timeline, and is a report released under these circumstances going to be complete or a limited hangout? Trump posted a lengthy Memorial Day Truth Social mandating that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan all sign the Abraham Accords simultaneously with any Iran deal, calling it the most historic document ever signed. Jon reads every word. Orange County had a cracked chemical tank threatening 40,000 residents before stabilizing. Jon is skeptical Spencer Pratt can overcome LA County's election system regardless of how well he campaigns. A former federal prosecutor was just indicted for allegedly trying to steal sealed Jack Smith documents, and Jon gives it measured credit while pointing out it is not quite the accountability he is actually waiting for.

CannCon and Zak Paine open a packed Memorial Day Monday with a salute to fallen brothers and a show full of enormous developments. Trump skips Don Junior's wedding to stay at the White House, and instead of an Iran strike, he announces a broad peace memorandum of understanding with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain. Israel is conspicuously absent from the signatory list and receives only a separate phone call. The neocon wing explodes: Cruz, Graham, Pompeo, and Levin all melt down publicly, and White House spokesman Stephen Chung tells Pompeo on the record that he has no idea what he is talking about and should shut his mouth. Tulsi Gabbard resigns as DNI after her husband Abraham is diagnosed with a rare and fast-moving bone cancer. CannCon and Zak flag that her replacement is a 20-year CIA officer, arriving exactly as the CIA-versus-DNI battle reaches its peak. Catherine Herridge confirms the CIA was tracking every keystroke of Gabbard's DIG team, with an IT work order proving someone requested the surveillance deliberately. Republican senators screamed at Todd Blanche in a closed door meeting over the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund. J6 convictions are vacated. A federal judge dismisses human smuggling charges against Abrego Garcia calling them vindictive prosecution.

Jon Herold sits down with Jeanine Garcia of A Bit of Whimsy, a boutique tucked into a 100 year old building in Iron River, Michigan, right in the heart of the Upper Peninsula. What started as a whispered phrase during a quiet moment staring across the street at a building for sale became a faith driven leap into small town retail. Jeanine walks Jon through the two and a half year renovation, the gut punch of being almost ready to open when COVID hit, and how a phrase she heard in 2017 suddenly made sense in the dark summer of 2020. She also shares the real challenge of sourcing 85% American made goods, why she keeps losing her favorite domestic clothing companies, and how sales at the boutique are finally trending upward after years of decline. Plus, she is bringing a pop up shop to the Deadwood GART and encourages everyone to check their closet tags. You might be surprised.

Episode 53 of Flow drops on Memorial Day weekend with Cam Cooksey navigating a live breaking news situation and tying it all back to God's frequency. A shooter identified as William Sexton, a trans-Democrat activist angry about the US-Iran peace deal, fires on a White House checkpoint and is neutralized by Secret Service. Cam reads the unfolding reports live and lands on a false flag theory with MK Ultra overtones. The 440 Hz versus 432 Hz frequency debate sparks from a chat comment, with Cam connecting 440 standardization to the day Hitler invaded Poland, Havana Syndrome, and weaponized sound. Cam shares his reaction to finally watching Vibes 2 by Rise Attire, reading the two closing quotes from the film live, including the JRR Tolkien quote extended by Rise Attire themselves. Kyle Busch's sudden death is noted with questions about cause. Memorial Day is honored with gratitude for those who gave everything. Double Americans of the Week: Carter Braxton and George Clymer, both Declaration signers who lost fortunes and kept their word anyway.

Part 6 of the ether series is where the rubber meets the road, or more accurately, where the light meets the wire. Jonathan Drake and Polymath revisit the Divided Line, the Golden Gnomon, and the water molecule before introducing two new concepts that reframe everything. First: the so-called speed of light is not a speed at all. It is the hysteresis rate of the ether, the rate at which the medium can compress, rarefy, and return to rest. Second, and more practically, electricity is not a stream of electrons bouncing around inside a wire. It is light with a boundary condition. Free range light becomes caged light the moment you give it a conductor to follow. Generators spin up little dielectric dynamos inside atoms. Radio towers release bounded light as radio waves. And when your wire gets too hot, it is because the dielectric stress exceeded the conductor's capacity and had to escape as heat, which is also just light. When you understand this, the word electricity starts to look very different.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open on yet another Saturday shooting outside the White House, this time involving Nazir Best of Maryland, and spend the first segment dissecting why the total evidence for the event is a sound on a video and a reporter ducking. Chris Paul pivots into the history of the Secret Service, tracing its origins to Lincoln's 1865 national currency centralization project, its function as a financial enforcement body, and why its post-9/11 move under DHS fits a pattern of embedding the global security state inside the American government beyond presidential reach. Then comes the week's biggest news: Tulsi Gabbard resigning as DNI effective June 30, with plans to release reports on Havana syndrome, COVID, and the 2020 election. Chris Paul frames these releases as limited hangouts designed to let the air out of each disclosure balloon and explains why the solution is withholding belief rather than waiting for permission from the government to know what you already know. The Iran peace cycle gets its full treatment: Trump's True Social post announcing a memorandum of understanding, Netanyahu's hair on fire, and the Thursday-peace-Monday-bombs pattern that has repeated without interruption for months. The show closes on the post-Civil War constitutional inversion thesis and George P. Fletcher's argument that the reconstruction amendments were passed at bayonet point.

GMoney emerges from the Coffey Bunker after a month off to deliver a Bitcoin Pizza Day episode stacked with cypherpunk history and clown world updates. The main event is a conversation with Paul Rosenberg, the cypherpunk pioneer, longtime author, and builder of the Crypto Hippie VPN whose anonymously published novel A Lodging of Wayfaring Men reads like a prequel to the Bitcoin white paper. Paul walks through the three moments that shaped his libertarian worldview, his run-ins with retiring NSA fans of his products, why he ignored Bitcoin at first, and why he thinks the purity of the protocol is what guarantees the world cannot stay the same. After the interview, GMoney rifles through the week: Iran accepting Bitcoin for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, the Clarity Act clearing committee on 5/13, Kevin Warsh confirmed as the seventeenth Fed chair, Admiral Paparo confirming the US runs a Bitcoin node, the ARMA bill, and a closing argument that opting out of the tax system is the only vote that actually counts.
