On March 27th, 2022, the 94th Oscar’s was hosted by Chris Rock. In a segment that will be remembered in the years to come. Rock directed a joke towards Jada Smith, which initially was received well by her husband Will Smith, but was quickly interpreted as disrespectful. As a result, Will Smith got on stage and slapped Chris Rock. And while the news of this event is trending in pop culture. Conspiracy theorists have wasted little time figuring out the legitimacy of the altercation and its true intentions. The moment was staged to distract us from Joe Biden’s low approval rating, vaccine deaths, and the Nazification of Ukraine. Whatever the conspiracy theory, nothing is as it seems, and everything is a false flag operation. In today's episode, I discuss my opinion of the event and assess the various conspiracy theories, some of which involve the death and cloning of Will Smith.

Since the invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, around the world, people and establishments have condemned the brutal acts of Russia's President Vladimir Putin. FIFA (The Federation of International Football Associate) recently banned the Russian national team from participating in the World Cup qualifiers, and Apple has suspended the sale of products to Russia. However, one community that has expressed some degree of support are the conspiratorial right who have claimed that Vladimir Putin has declared war on the deep state and, at its most extreme question, the authenticity of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. This episode looks at some of the craziest conspiracy theory claims from JP Sears, Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Rizza Islam, and QAnon.

In early February 2022, the Russian Federation deployed around 190,000 troops near the eastern borders of Ukraine. As a result, this alarmed Ukrainian officials and many world leaders around the globe that stated that an invasion of Ukraine would go against International Law. However, President Vladimir Putin justifies the "military operation" of Ukraine by saying that the objective is to integrate the independent region Donetsks and Luhansk into Russia. A statement that has received condemnation from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

In today's episode, we discuss the historical implications that have led to the current Ukraine-Russia conflict, Biden's response to the Russian invasion, and the misinformation campaign that has attempted to mitigate the severity of the Ukrainian takeover.

On an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, Dr. Peter McCullough a cardiologist in training and conspiracy theory producer came on to the show to share his thoughts on the current state of the pandemic and errors that scientists and the medical establishment have committed to suppressing the efficacy of Ivermectin. Throughout the interview, Dr. Peter McCullough makes several accusations that attempt to discredit the safety of vaccines and the understanding of COVID-19. In today's episode, we address many of the claims made and assess the engagement style from a psychological perspective. Is the CDC suppressing information? Is Bill Gates funding operation depopulation? and have hospitals left patients to die? Join me as we explore the conspiratorial mindset.

On November 8th, Allyn Walker an assistant professor at Old Dominion University gave an interview on why minor-attracted people (MAPs) should be destigmatized. As a result, this created immense controversy among the political right and advocates against sexual child abuse. Was this the beginning of the demoralization of the United States? Have the conspiracy theories of the LGBTQ+ pushing a pedophilic agenda come to fruition.  In this episode, Nelson discusses the controversy behind MAPs and assesses the reactions from right-wing conservatives.

On November 5th, 2021, thousands of fans attended Travis Scott's festival Astroworld. In the process, nine people lost their lives, and hundreds were left injured when a crowed surge emerged. Criminal investigators have determined that it will take weeks or even months to discover what went wrong. Some are pointing the blame at Travis Scott, Live Nation, and the concert organizers, but conspiracy theorists are claiming that those responsible are not people at all but supernatural forces that demand the sacrifice of human blood. Did the Devil leave subliminal messages for us to discover, or is our brain playing tricks on us?

As COVID-19 crippled country after country, many experts were tasked with answering how this virus worked and where it came from? Some said that the virus transferred to humans naturally via a bat, while others pointed fingers at the Wuhan Laboratory. Still, Conspiracy theorists, as always, knew the true cause of the lockdowns around the world -- 5G. In this episode, we break down the elements of the 5G conspiracy theory. Who started it, who spread it, and more importantly, who made a profit?

In 1932, the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) and the Center for Disease Prevention (CDC) started what was intended to be a 6-month longitudinal study to see the effects of untreated syphilis. The study had recruited a sample size of 600 African American males; what those men would not realize is that the 6-month experiment would turn into a 40-year study of immoral practice and scientific abuse of power.

Using the existential threat model and the adaptive-conspiracism hypothesis, learn why many African American vaccine skeptics report adamantly not getting their COVID-19 vaccine shot. An observation that is concerning for medical professionals since African Americans are 5x more likely to die from COVID-19.

By the end of this episode, you will ask yourself, did we learn the proper lessons from the Tuskegee Experiment, or have the historical details of the event been manipulated for an underlying agenda.

In this episode, Nelson Perez talks about the updated immunization requirements Rutgers University has implemented for the Fall 2021 semester.  The news comes when anti-vaxxers and vaccine skeptics are at an all-time high in countries like the United States and Brazil. From explaining how the Food and Drug Administration implements Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to learning about the historical context of how lawsuits against vaccines were established and how anti-vaxxers have exploited the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program of 1988 (VICP).  Does Rutgers University care about their student's health and safety, or is this the beginning stages of the depopulation plan known as - Agenda 21?

In this week's episode, Nelson Perez analyzes a conversation he had with an anti-vaxxer and breaks down many of the talking points used by individuals who oppose the MMR vaccine and the mRNA vaccine to protect against COVID-19.  Viewing the defense mechanism of the anti-vaxxer can better understand how to interact with a person who holds these beliefs and catch their contradictions and their argumentative technique of "Whataboutism".
