What is the Dead Hand?

Starting in the late 1940s and through the 1990s the US and the former USSR were embroiled in a cold war. Several times throughout the tumultuous decades, these two great nations and their allies nearly escalated into an all out thermonuclear war that could wipe out civilization several times over and leave planet Earth a barren wasteland for thousands of years.

In the 80’s during the Reagan administration, the US implemented The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), also known as Star Wars. This Space Based Missile Defense Platform was intended to force the USSR to exhaust their military budget in an attempt to end the cold war. In response the Soviet war machine went into full on MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) Mode and did something no one expected.

Enter the Dead Hand

The Dead Hand is a Soviet era doomsday device that was created in response to the massive build up of the US nuclear arsenal. It's designed to launch a counter offensive strike against the US and their allies in the instance that Russia is destroyed by a first strike.

While many skeptics say the dead hand is a myth, there are some experts who would argue, and even some eyewitnesses who have come forward and claim that the dead hand is real.

What’s even more concerning is that it may still be active...

DEAD HAND RADIO was created to focus on issues of existential threats to life on earth.

If you’ll join me, together we’ll begin our journey with a trip through the cold war, nuclear weapons and the future of warfare. Afterall, the history of human civilization is the history of war.

Some episodes will be solo, where I’ll deliver a monologue based on a thesis I’ve prepared for that episode. Other episodes will include guests who can bring specific knowledge and expertise on different areas.

My goal is to explore these topics with the audience. To learn. To educate. To entertain and exchange ideas with those interested.

And to present factual information about the world we live and the precarious nature of our human existence.

So my invitation to you, is take this ride with me and together we’ll find out where it goes.

If you or someone you know has a comment or question about, or would like to contribute to the conversation, please contact me.

You can email me at [email protected] or connect with me on twitter @deadhandradio

Thanks for listening.

THIS IS DEAD HAND RADIO

My guest for this show is Marshall Barnes, a Research and Development Engineer. Marshall is an inventor, a musician and a brilliant thinker. He has written several papers on many fascinating topics which offer a widely different opinion on some quite controversial topics.

Suffice it to say that Marshall defends his views unequivocally and is willing to engage in open debate with anyone who disputes his findings and conclusions. This is one reason why I felt compelled to interview Marshall for this podcast.

Also, I find Marshall’s work highly relevant to the topic of this podcast. His work and his arguments offer a viable solution that could, If funded and implemented correctly, potentially solve every possible existential threat to life on this planet.

His solution… Time Travel to the past. I realize this idea seems quite radical, and potentially even ludicrous, but I urge you to hear his argument before passing judgement.

During our conversation Marshall and I discussed his hypothesis in great detail. He argues that escaping the Earth to go into space is a huge waste of time, money and resources. He believes his solution to be far more economical and potentially more viable.

Specifically he proposes to send groups of human settlements back in time to the year 12KB4 or 12,000 years ago. Roughly 10k BC which is around the end of the last ice age.

Unfortunately, the interview didn’t go quite as planned and we experienced some technical difficulties right at the beginning of the conversation. This resulted in a less than ideal audio quality and required parts of the interview to be omitted from the episode. I mention this because I don’t want you to expect crystal clear audio and then two minutes in get frustrated and leave before you’ve heard the whole conversation.

So please be patient, listen with an open mind and try to enjoy the show as much as I enjoyed creating it for you.

Whether you agree or disagree with Marshall’s views, he certainly has some unique ideas about the world we live in and the potential calamities we’re faced with, especially in these uncertain times.

Marshall and I continued our conversation for a while longer and got into some other things, but the parts I’ve shared are definitely the most relevant to listeners of this podcast, and I felt it best to keep the episode under 1 hour. If you’re interested in hearing the whole conversation, please let me know.

My sincere thanks to Marshall for allowing me to spend this time with him, and sharing his insight and knowledge with me and all of you. Anyone interested in learning more about Marshall’s work, I encourage you to read his papers at Academia.EDU, and follow him on Twitter @Paranovation.
