This is Renegade Files Episode 30, Nikola Tesla.

And this is the first episode of Renegade Files Season 2. Thank you so much for being a part of our first season, and for being here for the launch of our second year. Much fun to come.

Nikola Tesla is responsible for much of our modern world as we know it. AC electricity, wireless communication, and more. He made and lost fortunes, feuded with the likes of Thomas Edison and JP Morgan, and in the end died penniless.

He was a genius of pure passion who, unfortunately, lacked the business skills or image management inclinations that may have saved him and his ideas. 

In this episode of Renegade files we dive deep into the inventions, misadventures, and enemies of one of history’s brightest, and least understood men. Nikola Tesla.

This is Renegade Files Episode 29, Simulacra & Simulation: What is the Matrix?

In this episode we will explore the depths of Jean Baudrillard’s 1981 philosophical treatise, Simulacra and Simulation. In broad terms, this book examines the relationships between reality and the symbolisms within culture, media, and society.

In this way Baudrillard asserts that our modern society is living in a simulation of reality. However, Baudrillard’s Simulation is not the computer-generated dreamworld of much conspiracy lore speculation, but something far more mind-bending.

This is Renegade Files Episode 28, Close Encounters in Brazil

In the wee morning hours on 20 January 1996, multiple reports of UFOs over Central Brazil flooded phone-lines at police stations, military installations, and airports.

Some of the objects were captured on video. Witnesses in the town of Varginha saw one of the objects crash, and one witness filmed the flaming crash site.

These events alone are more than enough to put the Varginha incident at the top of any UFO experience of the 20th century. But this was only the beginning.

Many locals saw, first hand, several creatures that apparently survived the crash. Local emergency response officials and both the Brazilian and US Militaries became involved, and the resulting explanations have frustrated the Varginha citizens for decades.

So gear up for an expedition to Brazil, and join me, your field guide, Lex Gordon as I lead a Renegade Files Recon mission to investigate the case of … Close Encounters in Brazil …

This is Renegade Files Episode 27, Who Killed Don Aranow?

What do the offshore racing boat brands Formula, Donzi, Magnum, Squadron, and Cigarette all have in common? They were all created and built by Don Aranow. 

In this episode we dive into the high-powered world of offshore powerboat racing to explore the still unsolved mystery of who killed boat racing legend Don Aranow. 

In the game of fast boats, drug smuggling, million-dollar deals, and powerful government officials, Don Aranow played every angle and every side. 

Don Aranow made offshore racing history by compiling a long list of championships in the boats he built. He made boats for kings, presidents, racing teams, and drug runners alike. But when he struck a deal with the US Customs to build boats for them, so they could finally catch the drug runners… drug runners who had also bought boats from Aranow… it seems he finally crossed the line.

What followed was a series of events that sounds like the plot for an entire season of Miami Vice. A string of boat companies, millions upon millions of dollars, and a government contract “/” drug runner double-cross that ended in a hail of gunfire, and blood on a Miami street.

So join me fellow investigator as we go back to the days of flash and cash, make a midnight run at 100 miles per hour in 4-foot seas, and try to untangle the unsolved mystery of Who Killed Don Aranow.

Greetings Fellow Investigator. You have successfully tuned your device to Renegade Files, your covert source for information on the Paranormal, the Unsolved, and the Conspiratorial. I’m your host Lex Gordon sending you this declassified report from the strategically located Jungle Villa Outpost… Deep in the Uncharted Tropics.

This is Renegade Files Episode 26, Bob Lazar (UFO Mechanic or Disinformation Agent?)

Everyone familiar with the overall story of UFOs in America, already knows about Bob Lazar. Most treatments of Bob Lazar in the Alternative Media have either been skewed to cheerlead for him, or spun to discredit him. Instead of stubbornly aligning with either side, we will aim the Renegade Files-level research laser at this subject in an effort to give you the ability to revisit Lazar’s greatest hits, hear some lost tunes you may have never heard before, and help you finally tie it all together so you can decide what you think about this UFO icon once and for all.  

Bob Lazar’s story is compelling and fascinating regardless of what camp you fall into before listening to this episode. Together we’ll look at Bob Lazar with objective eyes, and analyze the clues that both support and discredit his claims. Is Bob Lazar’s story the tale of an honest whistle-blower, or a dark distraction from something deeper?

Join me as we go on an adventure to Groom Lake, storm the secret base known as Area-51, and gain access to an even more secret facility within, to investigate the good, the bad, and the ugly that is the story of UFO mechanic Bob Lazar.

This is Renegade Files Episode 25, Mars Anomalies.

Since the days of antiquity, Mars has captured the attention and imagination of all who have looked toward the heavens. We, as Earthlings, are inexplicably drawn to the surface of Mars. The red Planet has occupied a pole position in science and science fiction since 1894 when Percival Lowell saw what he believed to be intricate systems of canals on Mars.

As soon as we developed the ability to see Mars, first with telescopes, then with orbiters, and currently with unmanned rovers, the images that have come back to us have caused controversy and curiosity.

On this episode of Renegade files we travel across our Solar System to the planet named for the Roman God of War. We will explore what has come to be known as the Mars Anomalies: Images, Artifacts, Statues, Carvings, and even life forms that should not be there, but nevertheless, appear to be. Are there Pyramids on Mars? Is there plant life and liquid water on Mars? And why are the most recent orbiter photographs of objects on the surface more blurry than the ones from 1976?

Are there things on Mars that NASA, for whatever reason, has an interest in hiding?

Board the RFA Starship Cydonia, strap yourself in, and come with me as we travel 140 million miles through space to explore the red planet in search of the Mars Anomalies.

Welcome to Renegade Files, where we apply genuine curiosity and deep research to explore the strange and unexplained world of the Paranormal, the Extraterrestrial, and the Conspiratorial.

I’m your guide Lex Gordon, broadcasting a Pirate Radio Signal from The Jungle Villa Outpost, Deep in the Uncharted Tropics. This is Renegade Files Episode 24, Ancient Aliens: Theories and Evidence.

The idea of Ancient Aliens has been popularized by the History Channel TV Series, but the concepts and theories this show explores have been around much longer. In this episode we’ll explore some of the most intriguing evidence and artifacts in support of the notion that Aliens from other planets visited Ancient Earthlings and gifted them technologies that helped advance the human race.

Is such a thing even possible? … (Yes it is.)

We’ll travel across the globe In Search Of clues to our Ancient visitors. We’ll comb through the dusty texts and clay tablets from scribes of old who documented such things as UFOs, Alien Kings, and stories about gifts from outer space.

And we’ll wind our way through the interconnected interpretations that support the Ancient Alien Hypothesis with some of our old friends like Eric von Daniken, Graham Hancock, David Childress, Giorgio Tsoukalos, and Philip Coppens.

Many of the clues to Ancient Aliens are found in Hieroglyphics, Cuneiform Tablets, Native American Petroglyphs, and legends chanted by Shamans. This search conjures images of a heroic adventure into dessert pyramids, jungle temples, and hidden valleys.

So join me, your intrepid guide Lex Gordon, and together we’ll mount an expedition into the Theories and Evidence that point toward the existence of Ancient Aliens.

Alright, alright, alright. You have tuned your shortwave dial to the undercover frequency of Renegade File, your podcast home for Unsolved Mysteries, Paranormal Events, and Covert Culture.

Thanks for following the show. This is going to be one crazy ride. I’m your host Lex Gordon, broadcasting from the Jungle Villa Outpost, Deep in the Uncharted Tropics. This is Renegade Files Episode 23, Men In Black.

In the Covert Culture world of UFOs and Government Cover-ups, the Men in Black have become symbolic of the mysterious aftermath many experiencers report. These emotionless operatives have appeared since the earliest days of the modern American UFO phenomenon.

One of the first accounts happened on June 27, 1947, less than one month before the watershed moment of the Roswell crash. And these creepy heralds of woe have persisted into the present day, gaining so much attention among the collective consciousness as to garner their own fiction movie franchise.

In this episode of Renegade Files we dig below the Pop Culture Smokescreens of Will Smith movies and cartoons, to explore the real-world phenomenon of these most uninvited officials.

So put on your Blues Brothers suit, your black fedora, and your wayfarer shades… crank up the black, 1967, Cadillac Fleetwood… and hit the road with your old friend Lex as we drive across the UFO littered landscape in search of… The Men In Black.

This is Renegade Files Episode 22, Haunted Hotels, and it is Part 1 of our Ghost Files Series. 

Throughout history stories of Ghosts and Hauntings have been associated with buildings. Songs of Haunted castles were all the rage among the medieval bards. The entire Gothic Novel Genre is built on foundations of the Haunted Manor house with a creepy villain caretaker and the innocent young governess who inherits the estate.

But of all the myriad of Haunted Buildings, Hotels seem to attract more than their fair share of Phantasms and Spectres. 

In this episode of Renegade Files we look at the concept of the Haunted Hotel from a broad perspective of theories and factors, then we’ll explore several of the most astonishingly active Haunted Hotels in detail. Finally I’ll give you the shorter but still fascinating summaries of a longer list of Haunted Hotels and Inns, many of them including nightly rates. There may even be one close enough that you could drive there and spend a spooky weekend getaway.

This episode is a little different. It doesn’t have any grand conclusions or deep insight. It’s just good old fashioned ghost stories and spooky fun. I hope you like it. 

So grab the PKE Meter, your Proton Pack, and a few Ghost Traps, book a room at the Overlook, and join me on a Paranormal Vacation as we explore the world of Haunted Hotels.

This is Renegade Files Episode 21, The Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident.

For three nights in a row following Christmas in 1980, strange lights were seen moving through the trees of Rendlesham Forest just beyond the boundaries between RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England. At the time the bases were occupied by the US Air Force*. This UK American Joint Venture Airbase was NATO’s largest, and the location secretly housed a cache of Nuclear Weapons.

Three Airforce Security personnel ventured into the woods in pursuit of lights they saw maneuvering among the dark trees of the forest.

Their reports prompted further investigations on the subsequent nights when the lights were seen again, and Lt. Colonel Charles Halt, who initially went into the field to debunk or find an explanation for what the men had seen, wound up seeing and chasing the Unidentified Flying Objects for several minutes, all the while recording audio of what he and his men were seeing.

Subsequent sightings, a landed craft, and trace evidence were quickly examined, and even more quickly covered up.

Since then the stories have grown and the Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident has entered such legendary UFO status, as to be referred to as England’s Roswell. 

So join me fellow explorer as we take a trip across the pond and back to the cold war in 1980 to investigate The Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident.
