EPISODE 31 | Scammers, Inc.: MJ-12, Bennewitz & Serpo
Sometimes the crap piles up so high in the UFO world you'd need a flying saucer to stay above it all. And yet, man, these are some good stories! We look at three key events from the 1980s: the Majestic 12 claims, Project Serpo, and the sad & infuriating Bennewitz Affair. And some of the people who might be behind it all.

April 14, 2021UFOs in Czecho
EPISODE 30 | UFOs in Czecho
Guest: Sam Beckwith, editor of Prague Pig
Today Conspiracy Clearinghouse celebrates one year of delving into the weird, so we thought we'd celebrate by doing a crossover episode with our sister podcast Prague Times. The UFO thing is not exclusively an American phenomenon, and even here in the Czech Republic, where we're based, there have been plenty of reports and reactions.
Prague-based journalist Sam Beckwith takes us through the most famous UFO sightings in the area (some going back centuries), how the Communists dealt with reports of strange craft, citizen-led initiatives, the Czech Silver Men, a UFO church and more. This is a special crossover episode with our sister podcast, Prague Times.

EPISODE 29 | The Notorious M.I.B.
One of the most sinister UFO-related phenomena - the Men in Black. Sure, they dress like the Blues Brothers, but they are super creepy and often menacing. And also pretty ineffective. And while they may have been created wholesale by a hoaxer, people have been reporting, and even photographing, them for years.
We're releasing this episode a day early to confound the MIBs.

EPISODE 28 | Back in Black: BEKs, Black Helicopters, Black Knight & More
Black is the new black. We in the West sure seem to have an issue with this darkest of dark shades. It often symbolizes nefarious things, especially in the conspiracy world. Black is the colour of my true love's hair, but it's also the colour of evil black-eyed children, Soviet cars, sinister black helicopters, mysterious secret aircraft and alien satellites.

February 17, 2021Come On Vaccine! Vaccine Hesitancy & You
EPISODE 26 | Come On Vaccine! Vaccine Hesitancy & You
Science marches on, eradicating debilitating diseases (among other things). However, there have always been some who are skeptical, or even downright hostile, to this. There are lots of reasons: maybe God wants your kid to get sick, the ingredients used are harmful and/or weird, or they have terrible side effects, like giving children autism; turning them into half-man, half-cow hybrids or making making males become homosexuals. Or maybe there are teeny, tiny mind control devices in them.
Or maybe all of these things are true. When you decide that science doesn't matter, and there's no such things as a fact, it's sort of a free for all of superstition and suspicion.

EPISODE 25 | The Dyatlov Pass Incident: More Than a UFO Story (The World Is Weird 4)
People love mysteries but also hate them. Unanswered questions drive us crazy, especially when the stakes are high. Like when someone dies. Or when nine people die on the side of a mountain in the dead of winter, found in various states on undress, with unexplainable wounds and missing body parts. The strange and provocative events of the Dyatlov Pass Incident have kept UFOlogists, cryptozoologists and people who just distrust the government very busy for the past 62 years.

January 20, 2021Agenda 21: This Land Is My Land
EPISODE 24 | Agenda 21: This Land Is My Land
A secret international elite plans to depopulate much of the earth, and enslave the rest of it. We know because they keep publishing papers about it. Like Agenda 21, a set of environmental goals created in 1992 and pretty much ignored ever since. This is really a declaration of war against freedom and the first step in the global takeover. And it starts with your land.
Yes, the New World Order is back, and this time it's about real estate, national parks and affordable housing led by internationalists who are Communists and/or Nazis and/or homosexuals.

EPISODE 23 | Signs, Grudges & Blue Books: Early UFOlogy
Hidden inside the new COVID relief bill is a mandate for US Congress to be fully briefed on UFOs, so it might be worth it to take a look at the early days of UFO sightings and American investigative efforts.
And tomorrow is the anniversary of the Mantell UFO Incident, called by some the first UFO-related death on record. But is it? Depends on who you believe.

December 23, 2020Jingle H*lls: The War on Xmas
EPISODE 22 | Jingle Hells: The War on Xmas
Some members of the largest religion in the world, over 2.4 billion people, somehow feel aggrieved or under siege, especially when it comes to one of their most important holidays. We're talking about Christians and Christmas, and the narrative that claims there's a concerted effort to destroy the celebration of Jesus' birth. Who? Depends on who you talk to. Communists, or Jehovah's Witnesses, or 7th Day Adventists, or Puritans, or Jews, or Muslims, or Black people, or atheists, or some combination of these groups.
This episode traces the notion of a "war on Christmas" back to its beginnings and looks at some periods in history when the holiday was not only not celebrated but was actually illegal. And many of the modern trappings of Christmas are, in fact, quite recent innovations in a long story.
