Big Pharma. The deep state. The crisis actors. Alien life. Spy agencies and cover ups. Whatever it is, award winning journo Richard Baker and Dr Nick Coatsworth are your guides on the search for the kernel of truth. Conspiracies are everywhere right now. But, we don’t peddle theories, we go to their point of origin and follow the breadcrumbs to sort the bullsh*t from the verified, while keeping an open mind to things that can’t be explained. Rich has spent years exposing the crooked and corrupt, and Nick has copped death threats from people who thought he was one of THEM. They know what real cover-ups look like, and they also know what happens when paranoia meets the algorithm. Sometimes the conspiracy is real. Sometimes it's designed to sell you on something. Often, it's both. Our mission is to entertain and inform. Rather than condemn and judge.

The program was called Operation Popeye. Its existence had been classified. Its goal was to extend the monsoon season and flood enemy supply lines. It worked. And when it came out, the government's position was essentially: yes, we did that, and no, we won't be discussing what else we've done since. So what does it mean when the most outlandish-sounding theory has a declassified paper trail — and the official line is still that there's nothing to see in the sky? This week, Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth go through what the evidence actually shows, and what the gap between those two things tells us. Solar geoengineering and who's doing it: the Harvard experiment, the UN framework, and the researchers who say large-scale aerosol injection is already happening outside any public oversight or consent The soil and water data: what independent tests keep finding, what barium and strontium are doing in rainwater at levels that shouldn't be there, and why the official explanation keeps not quite fitting the numbers The debunking apparatus: who funds it, how \"persistent contrail\" became a rhetorical shutdown rather than a scientific term, and why the people asking questions keep ending up next to flat-earthers in search results Where the evidence stops and the theory starts — and whether that line is as clear as the people drawing it need you to believe Some of this is documented. Some is genuinely unknown. And almost none of it is as settled as the people who closed the file want you to believe. Join Rich Baker and Dr Nick Coatsworth as they suss it all out.
