In this episode, Aislinn talks about not only the crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, but those in power that enabled him.  Going through the timeline of the police investigation into victims' claims, some disturbing revelations about those meant to carry out the law unfold.  Did US District Attorney Alex Acosta enter into a conspiracy to give Epstein the deal of a lifetime?  

Even with such a powerful man's help, however, those fighting for the survivors would not rest.  When Acosta's plea deal got overturned and Epstein was forced to stand trial once more, however, the disgusting man was found dead in his jail cell before it even began.  Was this his way of escaping punishment for his heinous acts?  Or did one of his former friends want to keep him quiet?

There's a lot to unpack here, and the best way to do it is by sharing the truths of those who matter most in the case: the survivors.

Thomas Ince had a heavy hand in how the movie industry was shaped back in the early 1910s.  Despite the notoriety he garnered during his life, however, it is perhaps his death that he is most widely known for.  Officially the records state that he died of heart failure, but is that all there is to the case?  What of the rumors that he was shot onboard the yacht of his close friend, media mogul William Hearst?  Why did so many people keep quiet about that night? Did he truly catch a stray bullet meant for Charlie Chaplin?  Over a century later, and we're still wondering what truly happened to Thomas Ince.

Aislinn finally decides to tackle another COVID conspiracy. Originally, this episode was going to come out two weeks ago.  Since then, cases have risen again and there's a resurgence of mask mandates. Sadly, this means it's only more topical.

Join us as Aislinn and Mirada take on the topic of the COVID vaccine conspiracy as laid out by Dr. Christiane Northrup.  Is there any truth to it?  How does an mRNA vaccine work anyway?  Could we all become human/animal hybrids?!

There's a lot to unpack here, so strap in! Miranda even learns some science, which she will promptly forget before the next episode.

Lots of sources for this one, so here's a link to the notes instead:

In the abandoned mine tunnels underneath Centralia, PA, there is a fire.  This fire has been burning for the past 60 years, and will likely continue for decades to come.  Aislinn and Miranda break down the history of this town, how the fire got to be, and why some people think that the government deliberately sabotaged firefighting efforts and let the destructive blaze continue for all of these years.
