On September 11, 2001, four American airlines were hijacked and converted into weapons of war. One of these planes was Flight 93, which departed from Newark International Airport in New Jersey, heading to San Francisco Internation Airport when at 9:28 am Ziad Jarrah, and three other Al-Qaeda terrorists stormed into the cockpit and took control of the airline with the intent of crashing it either into the White House or Capitol House. However, as the passengers of Flight 93 realized the reality of their situation, they collectively decided to take action and fight back against this new variation of terrorism. This effort, unfortunately, did not result in the survival of anyone on that plane that tragic day.

Twenty-one years have passed since the traumatic events of 9/11, but behind the pain and policy changes that came after the attacks on the U.S. The conspiratorial mindset blossom in an age where the internet enables an individual with conspiratorial inclinations to congregate and share their unique distrust of government and experts. In today's episode, we revisit the timeline of Flight 93 and the conspiracy theories associated with this specific incident. As well as learned about David Ray Griffin, a famous popular conspiracy theorist that has exchanged doubt about 9/11 for praise and popularity.

On December 14th, 2012, twenty children and six adults were murdered by 20-year-old Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary. In the aftermath of the tragedy, law enforcement and politicians tried to help explain what occurred and why, but as with all breaking news stories, details were reported without confirmation. As a result, a movement of emotional manipulation and political agenda formed. Almost a decade after the school massacre, right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been found guilty of promoting misinformation and forced to pay the victims for his spread of conspiracy theories and disinformation. Still, researchers of conspiratorial ideologies state that the damage has already been done and that the plague of conspiracy theory will only continue to grow. Today's episode explores why Sandy Hook Elementary School has become America's most iconic conspiracy theory.

Since Pride Month in 2022, the political right has mobilized an offensive attack on the LGBTQIA+ community in the name of the culture war. For many mental health experts, such opposition, specifically to transgender individuals, causes physical and psychological stressors. However, one clinical psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson argues that the backlash against gender expression is necessary to maintain the stability of western civilization, which is built on masculinity, the traditional family unit, and the natural order. In today's episode, we assess some of these claims and determine if they're up to date or outdated.

In today's episode, Tim Sandars joins as a guest to speak on his research and understanding of non-thermal EMF radiation, precisely that of 5G. We explore the genesis of his story regarding EMF research and review some of the studies that support the claims that 5G radiation is harmful to the human body. In this two-part series, we dare to ask whether the idea of 5G radiation and any artificial EMFs is toxic to us based on science or pseudoscience?

On June 5th, 1981, hospitals in Los Angeles, California, began to notice an alarming trend of patients developing pneumocystis pneumonia. At the time, medical experts were puzzled by what was causing these severe symptoms. By 1982 the Center for Disease Control (CDC) finally identified the cause of the deadly disease that had become prominent among the LGBTQ+ community and drug abusers, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, also known as AIDs. However, as the birth of HIV studies began, so did the cognitive virus of HIV/AIDs denialism that would cost the lives of people infected with HIV and the people promoting these ideas. In today's episode, Nelson revisits the history of the HIV/AIDs denialism movement, assesses some of the conspiratorial fallacies, and debunks Peter Duesberg's claims who has sacrificed his academic integrity to protect his ego.

In 2011, Renaud Camus published a book titled "Le Grand Remplacement," or as it's translated in English, The Great Replacement. In his book, he contends that the mass migration of people from the Middle East and Africa will destabilize white-dominated countries but, worst of all, lead to the extinction of the white race that will be orchestrated according to the conspiracy theory by the Jewish elite. In the years to follow, many political propagandists have adopted this ideology to promote racist and anti-immigration policies from a conspiratorial framework that has led conspiracy theorist extremists to take matters into their own hands. People like Payton Gendron, who on May 14th, 2022, drove 200 miles to Buffalo, New York to cleanse his community in what he regarded as the black invasion, and Makeila Griffin, who in 1999 engaged in anti-white rhetoric to prepare for what she referred to as the race war. In today's episode, Nelson looks into the origins of the Great Replacement Theory and how the political right has exacerbated this ideology.

Wade would be overturned resulting in many on the political left to panic as this meant an attack on women's reproductive rights, while on the political right, cheers and celebrations commenced since it symbolized a victory for the sanctity of life.  However, is life as sacred as the political right state, or are there contradictions to these values? In today's episode, listen to how the conversation about abortion has been revitalized in the last few weeks since this breaking news, learn about the historical and legal context of Roe v. Wade, the conspiracist reaction to the "my body my choice" movement, and the philosophical argument if life is objectively or subjectively valuable?

On July 1st, 2022, the controversial Parental Rights in Education bill, or as the political left dubs it, the Don't Say Gay law, will go into effect, while progressives and human rights advocates say that this endangers LGBTQ+ youth and promotes discrimination. The conspiracists view this law as a pushback against "The Gay Agenda."  A conspiracy theory that goes back to the late 1970s when Anita Bryant launched her anti-homosexual campaign in the name of Christian morality and the protection of children. In today's episode, Nelson revisits the foundations of the Gay Agenda movement and how it has influenced the anti-gay rhetoric that currently threatens the LGBTQ+ community in Florida. As well as address the pedophilia scare that has been successfully weaponized by conspiracy theorists in creating fear and hostility within the political left and the queer community.

Throughout the Ketanji Brown Jackson's (KBJ) Supreme Court hearing, several accusations were flared at KBJ to discredit her ability to hold one of the highest seats in the U.S government. However, one claim has sparked controversy about her moral dilemma regarding sex offenders. Did Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) reveal a sinister history of KBJ? Is the new supreme court judge an agent of the deep state working to help pedophiles earn easier access to the most vulnerable members of our society? In today's episode, we look at the case of United States v. Hawkins (1:13-cr-00244) and determine if there is more than meets the eye because, in the world of a conspiracist, nothing is as it seems.
