  • George J. Haas | The Lost Architects of Mars | Preview
    Tonight on Veritas our special guest is George Haas. For more than thirty years, he has committed himself to a mystery that sits far beyond the borders of accepted history. Across Earth, from the Nazca plateau to the ancient cities of Mesoamerica, we find evidence that early cultures carved meaning and intention directly into the land. Yet on Mars, a world long assumed to be barren, there are formations that raise questions far more provocative than anything we see here on Earth.
    George Haas approaches the Red Planet not as a traditional scientist, but as an artist trained to see structure, symmetry, and design. When he studies high resolution orbital images, he does not see random geology. He sees hexagonal mounds with mathematical precision. He sees star shaped complexes positioned like architectural blueprints. He sees gridded foundations scattered across a region NASA once labeled chaotic terrain. And he sees immense geoglyphs, including a parrot that veterinarians concluded displays more than twenty accurate anatomical points. These are not the vague shapes of imagination. They are detailed, consistent, and often familiar.
    His new book, The Great Architects of Mars, takes the reader into a hidden chapter of our solar system. Haas explores the Keyhole formation in Libya Montes, a structure whose proportions mirror kofun tombs of ancient Japan. He examines twin cities laid out near a long dead Martian lake. He analyzes symbols carved into the landscape that echo motifs found in Mesoamerican art. And then he turns to the ancient records here on Earth. The Maya spoke of a Star War linked to Mars. The Sumerians told stories of visitors from the heavens. These accounts have always been treated as myth. Haas asks a different question. What if they are memories.
    Tonight we explore the evidence, the contradictions, and the possibilities. Did Mars once hold a civilization capable of engineering, storytelling, and interplanetary contact. If so, what remains of it, and what does it mean for us now.

  • Camille Harman | Between the Light and the Lie: An Actress, an Abductee, and the Hollywood Machine | Part 1 of 2
    Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Camille Harman.
    Some people search their entire lives for evidence that we are not alone. They scan the skies, read the research, hope for confirmation. But for a rare few, the phenomenon doesn't wait for an invitation. It arrives uninvited, and it doesn't leave.
    Camille Harman's journey began in 1995, shortly after she arrived in Los Angeles. What she witnessed in the sky that night should have been the end of the story. Instead, it was the beginning. The sightings escalated into abductions. Missing time. Physical marks she couldn't explain. And memories that surfaced only under hypnosis. Memories of beings that radiated light, and others that were coldly clinical in their precision.
    But the most disturbing element wasn't what came from beyond. It was what came from within our own world. Military personnel, present during her experiences. Human hands participating in operations that were never supposed to exist.
    Her search for answers carried her to Roswell, to the crop circles of England, to the pages of UFO Magazine where she documented what others refused to acknowledge. She studied the frameworks of Icke, Maxwell, Swerdlow, Bashar. She married a fellow experiencer and built a life where the phenomenon was never far away.
    Then, in 2013, everything changed again. A spiritual transformation brought her into the Catholic faith. A faith that views non-human contact through an entirely different lens. And yet, the sightings continued. Even at her own church.
    Meanwhile, her acting career accelerated. She appeared in the Academy Award-winning film Vice. She worked inside Hollywood, catered for directors like Roland Emmerich, and walked into homes covered in Masonic symbolism. She saw what the entertainment machine hides in plain sight.
    Today, she is a founding member of the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance, finishing a book about her three decades of experiences, and speaking publicly about what the world is only now beginning to accept.
    Tonight, Camille brings all of it forward. The abductions. The MILAB operations. The Hollywood esoterica. The Catholic reckoning. And the question that haunts every experiencer. Why me, and why won't it stop?
    This is not a story of distant lights in the sky. This is a story of contact that never ended.

  • Neil Kramer | The Quiet War | Part 1 of 2
    Something is ending. You can feel it before you can explain it. The familiar world is dissolving, and what is rising to replace it is not human in spirit. It has no face, no voice, only an algorithm waiting to instruct the public imagination.
    Tonight we open Season 18 of Veritas, and Neil Kramer returns at the moment when clarity is needed most. Neil never appears during quiet chapters. He arrives when the atmosphere tightens, when the horizon shifts, when people sense a deeper truth moving beneath the noise. And right now, the air is very thin.
    Across the Western world, meaning itself is slipping away. Europe faces a demographic crisis that sits beside migration pressures, cultural destabilization, and a loss of continuity that leadership refuses to confront. Birth rates have collapsed across the developed world, revealing more than a social problem. They reveal a civilization that no longer believes in its own future.
    Christianity has fragmented, leaving millions spiritually unanchored. Into that vacuum, Islam expands with population strength and cultural confidence. America drifts in its own struggle, torn between moments of awakening and waves of confusion. Few people recognize the tension between culture, religion, and the importation of value systems that do not share the same moral inheritance.
    While this unfolds, technocracy advances with steady precision. Digital identity systems. New legislative frameworks like the Algorithmic Accountability Act. Behavioral shaping. And a censorship structure that does not silence through force, but through correction, filtering, and engineered agreement. Traditional governance is weakening while algorithmic governance grows stronger. Perception is managed. Masculinity and sovereignty are discouraged. Higher thought is replaced with performative compliance. And Agenda 2030 extends through institutions as a philosophy of how human beings should live and obey.
    In a climate like this, truth-telling has become a countercultural act. The real question is how to remain spiritually upright in a world shaped by intentional confusion. How to keep agency, clarity, and inner strength as the old structures fall away.
    Tonight we go directly into that territory. No filters. No evasion.

  • Rick Strassman, M.D. | DMT: The Bridge Between Brain and Spirit | Part 1 of 2
    Naturally occurring DMT may induce prophecy-like states of consciousness, potentially serving as a bridge between biology and religious experiences.
    - Uncovers striking parallels between the visions of Hebrew prophets and the DMT-induced states described by participants in Strassman's research.
    - Explores the potential shared biological mechanisms between prophetic and psychedelic states.
    - Introduces a novel "theoneurological" model of spiritual encounters.
    Following his groundbreaking research documented in "DMT: The Spirit Molecule," Rick Strassman grappled with a fundamental question: What significance lies in the fact that DMT, a simple chemical naturally present in our bodies, instantaneously transports us into an interactive spiritual realm that often feels more substantial than our everyday reality?
    Despite years of clinical psychiatric research and immersion in Buddhist practice, Strassman couldn't find satisfactory answers to this question. Consequently, he embarked on a quest for a spiritual framework that resonated more deeply. During this search, he made a compelling discovery: the visions experienced by Hebrew prophets, including figures like Ezekiel, Moses, Adam, and Daniel, bore remarkable similarities to those encountered by the participants in his DMT studies. Through a meticulous examination of the concept of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, Strassman delineates a distinct "prophetic state of consciousness" and elucidates how it might share both biological and metaphysical underpinnings with the effects of DMT.
    By delving into medieval commentaries on the Hebrew Bible, Strassman exposes how Jewish metaphysics offers a comprehensive model known as "theoneurology," which accounts for both prophetic and DMT-induced states. Theoneurology serves as a bridge between biology and spirituality, suggesting that the Divine communicates with us through the brain, with DMT?whether produced naturally or ingested?playing a pivotal role in facilitating visionary experiences. This model stands in contrast to "neurotheology," which posits that altered brain function merely generates an impression of a Divine-human encounter.
    Theoneurology not only addresses crucial aspects of the psychedelic drug experience but also paves the way for a revival of classical prophetic consciousness, which lies at the heart of Hebrew Bible prophecy. Additionally, it offers unexpected insights for the evolution of contemporary spiritual practices.

  • David H. Rosmarin, Ph.D. | Anxiety Alchemy: The Hidden Power Within | Part 1 of 2
    Tonight on Veritas our special guest is Dr. David Rosmarin. For as long as humans have existed, we have tried to understand the strange force inside us that tightens the chest, stirs the mind, and makes us question our place in the world. We call it anxiety, and most people treat it as a flaw to hide or a malfunction to correct. But what if we have misunderstood it from the very beginning? What if anxiety is not a sign of damage, but a signal that something inside us is trying to awaken? A message pointing toward what matters, what we cherish, what we fear losing, and what we might become if we stop fighting ourselves.
    Dr. Rosmarin has spent his career studying this misunderstood experience from every angle. He is a Harvard professor and a leading clinical psychologist who has worked with thousands of individuals across the world. His work asks a simple question that most of us never consider. What if anxiety is not here to break us, but to guide us? In his research, clinical cases, and spiritual insights, he reveals how anxiety can sharpen our courage, deepen our compassion, strengthen our relationships, and even open the door to a part of ourselves we rarely explore.
    We live in a time where people are told to eliminate discomfort at all costs. Yet Dr. Rosmarin challenges this idea by showing that the more we fight anxiety, the stronger it becomes. And the more we welcome it, the more it teaches us about our purpose. He shows that anxiety often appears in the very places where we carry the most meaning. It rises in the presence of love, responsibility, dreams, uncertainty, and identity. In other words, anxiety appears where we are most alive.
    Tonight, we explore the possibility that anxiety is not the villain. Our relationship with it is. This is a conversation about reclaiming the mind, rediscovering courage, understanding fear in a new way, and finding strength where most people only see weakness. It is a conversation about listening to the signals that rise inside us and allowing them to shape a deeper, more meaningful life.
    Tonight, Dr. David Rosmarin joins us to help us understand how anxiety can become one of the greatest forces for connection, clarity, and growth.
    This episode's cover art captures the idea behind "Anxiety Alchemy: The Hidden Power Within." The visual shows a cracked brain surrounded by gears and scattered fragments, illustrating the disruption and inner turmoil that anxiety can create. Out of these cracks, a golden branching filament extends toward a glowing crystal, representing how clarity, strength, and self-discovery can emerge from facing anxiety. Classic alchemical symbols, including triangles and a hexagram, are woven through the gold, evoking the tradition of turning raw, difficult experiences into something valuable. The entire image is a metaphor for how anxiety, when understood and transformed, can reveal unexpected power and personal growth.

  • Darcy Weir | Diary of a Filmmaker: Between Truth and Belief | Part 1 of 2
    Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Darcy Weir. For more than ten years, Darcy has taken his camera into the places most people only read about. He has investigated UFOs flying over active volcanoes, secret space programs buried in classified archives, and mysterious sightings beneath the oceans that suggest we are being watched from more than just the skies.
    Through his documentaries, he has followed the trail of the Men in Black, those strange figures who appear after credible encounters to silence witnesses. He has looked into psychic experiments once funded by intelligence agencies, searching for proof that the human mind may reach farther than science is willing to admit. He has also explored the legend of Sasquatch, speaking with researchers and witnesses who believe an undiscovered species still walks among us.
    His films have taken him into crop-covered fields where geometric patterns appear overnight, carved into the earth with precision that seems almost impossible. Each investigation adds another piece to a growing picture of secrecy and the unknown. Whether it's objects moving through our oceans, lights dancing above volcanoes, or ancient stories that refuse to fade, Darcy's work pushes us to ask what is real and who decides what the public is allowed to know.
    Tonight we'll talk about the evidence he's gathered, the witnesses he's met, and the forces that continue to hide the truth in plain sight. This is a conversation about what we see, what we believe, and what may finally prove that reality is far stranger than we think.
