A few months ago, I was a guest on the popular show, The Union of the Unwanted, a panel discussion show. They brought me on to talk about UFOs, and that is where I met Dave. He blew me away with the knowledge he has obtained and he left me wanting to learn more. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when we had a listener ask in our Instagram comments, \"What is CERN?\" I knew then that I had to do a show on CERN, because the last CERN-related episode was Episode 57 ! It's clearly been too long and new listeners need to be introduced to the subject. I reached out to Dave, as he seemed to be someone who might know a little about CERN, and my assumptions we correct. On Episode 466, Dave breaks down what he believes CERN to be and what its true intentions are in the world. Is it simply a harmless underground 17-mile-in-diameter particle accelerator that crosses the border of Switzerland and France? Or, is there something more to it that they are not telling us about? Is it opening portals to another dimension? Are things actually coming through these supposed portals? If the latter is true, could we possibly be living in the real-life version of Stranger Things or worse? We explore these topics in today's episode, \"What Is CERN?\" Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
