  • Samuel Chong | The Thiaoouba Prophecy Returns: Nine Days on the Golden Planet and the Knowledge Earth Wasn't Ready For | Preview
    In 1987, a French-born landscaper living near Cairns, Australia, claimed he was taken from his bed in the dead of night, carried through a doorway in space, and delivered to a planet of gold and impossible color. He stayed nine days. He came back changed, grieving, and certain. He spent the rest of his life trying to make us believe him, and then he died on a quiet island in Vietnam, homesick for a world he saw only once.
    The man's name was Michel Desmarquet. The book he left behind is called Thiaoouba Prophecy, and tonight it returns in a brand-new edition, carried forward by the one man who spent $2,000 of his own money to track Michel down before he passed.
    Chong did not just read this book. He flew across the world on the strength of a single printed photograph, found the bungalow on his second try, and sat with Michel twice. And on those visits, Michel told him things he wrote down nowhere, things Chong says he is still not permitted to repeat, because we are not ready to hear them.
    Tonight, we go looking for what is behind that locked door. The first humans, who arrived here by craft. The being placed inside the body of a man we think we know. A warning that our machines are racing ahead of our souls. And a quiet promise about a return that Chong is allowed to hint at, but not fully name.
    Is this the most important book ever smuggled back from another world, or the most elaborate dream a lonely man ever had? Tonight we press on every seam, we ask the questions no one else will ask, and we find out how much of it holds.
    Bring your curiosity. Leave your certainty at the door. This is one of those nights at Veritas where the floor moves under your feet.

  • Dr. Joe | The Last Human in the Room | Part 1 of 2
    Somewhere tonight, a medical examiner is looking at a gray film wrapped around the organs of a healthy 40 year old, and he cannot say what it is. That single image is where our conversation begins, and it does not let go.
    Dr. Joe is a board certified physician who has spent years treating chronic illness from the inside out, and tonight almost nothing is off limits. The man now running federal health policy is a peptide enthusiast. A triple hormone drug is producing weight loss we once saw only from surgery. And the first human trial to rewind the age of a living cell just cleared the FDA. The future arrived quietly, and most of us never noticed.
    We will start with the therapies the doctor knows best, the phospholipids and plasmalogens he ties to how our cells age, and the controversial thread that connects them to autism. We will follow the money through the weight loss machine, where one company now owns the disease and the cure that has to be taken for life, and we will name the quiet epidemic hiding underneath every failed diet.
    Then, in part two, we go where most physicians will not. The parasite question. Science already accepts that certain worms cause cancer outright, and the doctor asks how far that truth really reaches, all the way, he suspects, into places the textbooks swear are impossible.
    We will weigh the miracle drugs the desperate buy without a prescription, the stem cell clinics selling hope by the needle, and the machines that hospital executives say can replace your radiologist tomorrow. We will ask who gets to live to 120, and who pays for the endless hum of the data centers that make it all run.
    This is a conversation about the body as the last frontier, and about who profits when you stay sick. Skepticism sharpened. Curiosity wide open.

    This is Part 1. Part 2, and all 886 interviews going back to 2008, are at https://veritas7.com/subscribeveritasplus.php

  • Ed Dames | In Memoriam: August 11, 1949 - March 27, 2026 | Part 1 of 2
    This is an encore presentation from the Veritas Vault. Original date: February 26, 2015.
    Decorated army officer Major Ed Dames tells the shocking true story of his time as operations and training officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency's top-secret Psychic Intelligence Unit. Together with his PSI Spyteam, Dames used the practice of remote viewing to uncover accurate and verifiable military intelligence by going where no intel operatives on the ground could go -- into the very mind of the enemy. After retiring from the military, he turned his paranormal detective skills to finding missing persons such as millionaire pilot Steve Fossett, whose plane vanished in Nevada, and a young Colorado girl named Christina White, who disappeared seemingly without a trace. He has even located one of the most legendary missing objects in history, the Ark of the Covenant. Cosmic Columbo Major Ed Dames takes us behind the scenes of some of his most mind-bending cases. He reveals true stories and fascinating secrets uncovered by the military's remote viewing teams--from intelligence on Soviet missile sites to the whereabouts of missing POWs in Vietnam to the location of the Ark of the Covenant.

  • Allan Sturm | The Return of the Exoarchaeologist: Someone Was on the Moon Before Us | Part 1 of 2
    In 2008, the same year this program was born, a graphic designer published a strange and beautiful book. He had set out to collect forgotten photographs from the Apollo missions, and somewhere in the grain of those images he found something he was not looking for. Shapes that seemed built. Towers. Spheres stacked upon spheres. Something he would only ever call the Temple of the Moon.
    In 2009, he sat for one of the very first interviews I ever recorded on this show. And then he was gone. For 17 years he disappeared from my map entirely, into the quiet, into the work.
    Tonight, he comes back. But he returns changed. Somewhere in those silent years, Sturm went back through his own book and did something almost no one in this field has the courage to do. He admitted that a great deal of what he once saw was never there at all. He let the weak evidence die. And what he found waiting underneath, after the sharper scans and the harder questions, is what he has come to show us tonight.
    For those of you watching the video, you will see it with your own eyes. He will open the photographs and walk you through them the way he sees them. The geometry that hides in plain sight. The one frame he has never once been able to explain away.
    We will travel back to deep time, to a Moon that may have been a destination long before we were anything at all. We will sit with the strange night a remote viewer looked at his work and described an ancient, abandoned mine. And we will ask what it would mean for all of us, down here, if we are not the first hands to ever shape that surface.
    He is not asking you to believe him. He is asking you to look again.

  • Bill Foss | Inside the Akashic Records: The Library That Remembers Every Life You Have Ever Lived | Part 1 of 2
    Imagine a library that sits outside of time. Every life you have ever lived is written down in a book with your name on it. Every thought. Every choice. Every soul you have ever crossed paths with.
    For more than 25 years our guest has been walking into that library. He calls it the Akashic Records. 11 books. Students on three continents. Sessions he says reach through trauma, through past lives, and into something he calls the Universal Mirror.
    Foss is a visionary artist and a healer who works directly with the Ascended Masters and the Archangels. He teaches that you carry two genetic codes. One earthly and one not. That your nervous system is an antenna. That your heart is the reception point. And that the book of your life can be rewritten while you are still in it.
    Tonight we ask the hard questions. If the Records exist, who built them. Who appointed the Keepers, and what were they before. If your Book of Life can be changed, who holds the pen. And why have so many of us forgotten how to listen to a stream that has never stopped running.
    We will press him on off-world lifetimes. On ancestral healing through DNA. On parallel timelines. On the Quantum Timeline Healing he says rewrites the past from the present. And on a rival senior reader, trained by an Orthodox Kabbalist, who teaches the opposite of everything he stands for on the question of Free Will.
    Bring your skepticism. Bring your wonder. Both will be tested tonight.

  • Barry Markovsky, Ph.D. | The Scientist Who Investigated His Own Paranormal Life | Part 1 of 2
    You have seen scientists debunk the paranormal before. You have seen the condescending eyebrow, the impatient sigh, the eye roll. Barry Markovsky is not that scientist.
    He is the scientist who as a twelve-year-old boy lay on his back in the backyard of a Boston suburb, stared up at a moonless sky, and watched a point of light slow to a dead stop and reverse direction. He is the scientist who once woke from a dream about an earthquake, went to work at Stanford, and then felt the building shake beneath him an hour later. He is the scientist who walked into a haunted vape shop in South Carolina with a notebook, and walked out genuinely unsure whether the man he investigated was a liar or a true believer. He is the scientist who dated a naturopath and had to decide whether to tell her the truth about homeopathy. He is the scientist who spent years trying to pry a data set out of Transcendental Meditation researchers who kept inventing new reasons why he could never see it.
    Dr. Barry Markovsky earned his Ph.D. from Stanford, spent decades on the faculties of the University of Iowa and the University of South Carolina, and served as director of the Sociology Program at the National Science Foundation. But his new book, Everyday Extraordinary, is not a faculty report. It is eighteen true stories from his own life, each one beginning with the raw moment of strangeness exactly as he experienced it, and then peeling it back. Not to ridicule. Not to dismiss. But to understand.
    He has a name for the move that changes everything. He calls it the fourth response. When something inexplicable happens, most people move through three reactions in sequence. First, uncertainty. Then they look outward. Then they look inward. And then they stop. The fourth response is the one almost nobody takes. I wonder if I can make this happen again. That single question, applied to a lifetime of genuinely bizarre personal experiences, is what produced this book.
    Tonight we are going to cover all of it. UFOs. Ghosts. ESP. Intercessory prayer tested on eighteen hundred heart patients. A Transcendental Meditation study that claimed to reduce casualties in the Lebanon War using collective meditation, and the years-long battle to get the data behind that claim. Conspiracy theories. Alternative medicine. Havana Syndrome. Astrology. Numerology. Psychics. And the deepest question of all: what does a man who has spent his entire career studying how beliefs form actually believe himself, in the places he cannot prove?
