The Anasazi, also called the Ancestral Puebloans, were an ancient Native American culture that flourished in the Four Corners region (present-day Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico) from roughly 100 AD to 1300 AD, known for their advanced agricultural practices, cliff dwellings, and pottery. The name "Anasazi" has come to mean "ancient people," although the word itself is Navajo, meaning "enemy ancestors." The Anasazi were one of four major prehistoric archaeological traditions recognized in the American Southwest along with the Mogollon, Hohokam, and Patayan, but of the four, the Anasazi were known as the deadliest and were known to mix human meat with maize as not only for ritual purposes but dietary as well.

Jon from 21CD Podcast is back to join Joel on a fascinating journey of Oasisamerican discovery of the origins of corn and what its original purpose was as a gift from the "gods". They look at apocryphal texts like the Book of Enoch and Jubilees to understand the beginnings of genetically modified food. They then focus on Quetzalcoatl, "The Feathered Serpent", and the god's connection to human sacrifices and the eating of tlacatlaolli. Lastly, Joel and Jon explore the book, "Man Corn" by Christy G. Turner II, and his evidence for cannibalism among the Anasazi, by developing a set of six criteria for determining whether human cannibalism was likely to have occurred, based on analysis of archaeological remains.

Star People or Starseeds are a variant of the belief in alien-human hybrids in New Age belief and fringe theory. Introduced by Brad Steiger in his 1976 book Gods of Aquarius, it argues that certain people originated as extraterrestrials and arrived on Earth through birth or as a walk-in to an existing human body. 

Take a look at the galactic map with Joel as he takes a look at the modern resurgence of people claiming to be Starseeds of alien origins. He lays out the theory of Star People and if it is rooted in reality or if it is implanted in the minds of the subjects by outside suggestion. Lastly, Joel looks at the dark origins of the Starseeds, riddled with occult practices, racial elitism and eugenics.

Extraterrestrial life, or alien life, is life that originates from another world rather than on Earth. Such life might range from simple forms such as prokaryotes to intelligent beings, possibly bringing forth civilizations that might be far more, or far less, advanced than humans. But when it comes to alien life that has seemingly been in contact with humans throughout the centuries, why do they all look like us?

Hop in the spaceship with Joel, Justin and Jay, as they unravel the mystery behind the alien look-a-likes. They take a hard look at the Sassani, Yahyel, Nordics and Greys to peel back why they are so similar to us but hail from galaxies far far away. Lastly, they rip off the masks of these beings to bring into the light what they actually are and what their real goal is here on Earth.

Joseph Smith Jr. was an American religious and political leader and the founder of Mormonism and the Latter Day Saint movement. Publishing the Book of Mormon at the age of 24, Smith attracted tens of thousands of followers by the time of his death fourteen years later. The religion he founded is followed by millions of global adherents and several churches, the largest of which is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Smith professed a belief in Jesus, so why did a man, known as the "Wickedest Man On Earth" and vehement anti-Christian, Aleister Crowley, become so enamored with him?

Joel is joined this week by ex-Mormon, Heidi Luv from Unfiltered Rise Podcast, to explore the depths of this Smith-Crowley connection. They walk through the beginnings of Mormonism and Smith's use of Enochian magick to summon the angel Moroni similar to the workings of John Dee and Edward Kelley. They peel back the layers of the Mormon hierarchy and its parallels to Freemasonry. Finally, they expose the hero worship of Joseph Smith by Aleister Crowley and why a known occultist would find a "religious" man like Smith so intoxicating.

Hip-hop or hip hop is a genre of popular music that emerged in the early 1970s in New York City. The genre is characterized by stylized rhythmic sounds—often built around disco grooves, electronic drum beats, and rapping, a percussive vocal delivery of rhymed poetic speech as consciousness-raising expression. The music developed as part of the broader hip-hop culture; while often used to refer solely to rapping and rap music, "hip-hop" more properly denotes the entire subculture. In modern times, there has been a push to give credit to the Central Intelligence Agency as being the sole catalyst in the creation of the hip-hop movement.

Join MC Joel on a trek through the true origins of hip-hop including where the words came from and the first rap song. He takes a closer look at the beginnings of Gangsta Rap which has since become a staple of the hip-hop industry to the point some people believe that is what is actually hip-hop. Finally, Joel looks at the mysterious email sent by an anonymous label executive from the early 90s claiming the industry was told to push Gangsta Rap to help fill privatized prisons.

Sir Isaac Newton was an English polymath active as a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author. Newton was a key figure in the Scientific Revolution and the following Enlightenment. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published in 1687, achieved the first great unification in physics and established classical mechanics. While Newton pioneered the laws of motion and universal gravitation that formed the dominant scientific viewpoint for centuries, his first love was religious studies, specifically the issue of The Trinity, which he vehemently opposed in his secret writings.

Peer down the telescope as Joel focuses on the hidden side of Isaac Newton's battle with the Catholic Church and what he deemed as the false doctrine of The Trinity. He then lays out the conflict between Athanasius and Arius, in which Newton took the side of Arius, who rejected the view of the Three in One. Joel then breaks down the Johannine Comma, which is the Trinity's most clear-cut verse, and whether or not it should have been included in the Bible.

In Judaism, God has been conceived in a variety of ways. Traditionally, Judaism holds that Yahweh—the god of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the national god of the Israelites—delivered them from captivity in Egypt, and gave them the 10 Commandments at Mount Sinai as described in the Torah. But in Gnostic sects like the Cathars, which became prevalent between the 12th and 14th centuries after Christ, Yahweh is viewed as the Demiurge or Satan, the creator of the material world, including man, whose sole purpose is to keep mankind enslaved from reaching their true potential in the "good" realm.

Joel pulls back the curtain on the Gnostic idea that Yahweh is an evil entity who craves blood and war with no regard for human existence. He explores the convoluted history of the Cathars who believed that there were not one, but two Gods—the good God of Heaven of the New Testament and the evil god of this age from the Old Testament. Lastly, Joel compares proof texts from the Bible itself, from the Old and New Testament, to give us an eye-opening look at Jesus's own words of who He really is.

The Titius–Bode law (sometimes termed simply Bode's law) is a formulaic prediction of spacing between planets in any given planetary system. The formula suggests that, extending outward, each planet should be approximately twice as far from the Sun as the one before. The hypothesis correctly anticipated the orbit of the dwarf planet, Ceres (in the asteroid belt), which some Biblical theologians have surmised as being the remains of the infamous Planet Rahab, the original home of Lucifer.

Joel goes deep into Old Earth lore as he looks at the possibility of a massive planet, ten times the size of Earth, that existed between Mars and Jupiter. He presents the evidence of Alfred Wegener, Giuseppe Piazzi, Tom Van Flandern and others who have theorized using various scientific methods that the asteroid belt is made up of fragments from this lost world. Lastly, Joel draws the correlation between the destruction of Superman's home world, Krypton, and how reality can often be found hidden within modern media.

As fires rage across Palisades, Eaton and the rest of Los Angeles, Americans begin to sift through what is actually happening in California. Conspiracy theories run wild on social media as the fires become increasingly more politicized with political parties both pointing fingers at each other playing the blame game.

Joel attempts to take a balanced approach to what is happening in California by going through the most popular conspiracy theories attached to this latest natural disaster. He looks at the leadership from the governor all the way down to the LA Fire Department’s ability to manage the situation. He then explores the theories surrounding celebrity cover ups and The Wonderful Company’s water reserves. Lastly, he connects the palm tree to the spiritual world and how the fires could represent more than just destruction but a form of rebirth.
