    Forgotten Languages (FL): The Most Interesting Site on the Web?

    EPISODE 154 | Forgotten Languages (FL): The Most Interesting Site on the Web?

    While researching a previous episode about internet rabbit holes, I came across one that was some big, so complicated, that the entry soon grew into its very own episode. It's called Forgotten Languages, and at first it seems like it's all about ancient languages. But these turn out to be ciphers which, when decoded, reveal a series of interlocking narratives involving transdimensional beings, UAPs, aliens, secretive cabals working at cross purposes, the odd revelation that all humans are gone by the year 3100, and more.

    EPISODE 153 | Broken Arrows and Other Nuclear Boo-Boos (World Is Weird 16)

    One reason conspiracy theories flourish is that sometimes there really are secrets kept back from the public, only revealed later. Take Broken Arrows - accidents involving nuclear weapons, near-misses that could have become incredibly serious but, fortunately, didn’t.

    EPISODE 147 | Man Out of Time: The Comte St. Germain He composed and played music, spoke several languages, was versed in alchemy and the early sciences, and hung around with the likes of Mozart and Casanova, yet no one even knew his real name. Voltaire called him the “Wonderman”, though that may have been sarcasm, but most came to know him as the Comte, or Count, St. Germain. One of his many wild boasts and claims was that he was more than 500 years old. Perhaps even older than that. Just who was this mysterious figure who showed up in 18th century salons?
