Conspiracy Clearinghouse
A rather skeptical look at conspiracies and mysteries. Each episode will examine conspiracy theories, most of which are not true, a few of which might be a little bit true and even a couple that turned out, in fact, to be true. This is the podcast that dares to look behind the curtain that’s behind the curtain.

EPISODE 126 | Cognitive Biases and the Brain: Thanks, Evolution! (Because Reasons 11)
The first of two episodes looking at cognitive biases - this one at how memory works and how we prevent input overload by filtering out information. Hopefully, this will give us some insight into why people think they way they do.
The primary source material for this is the Cognitive Biases Codex, created by Buster Benson and John Manoogian III, as used by the EU's Marie Curie CogNovo program for Conspiracy-Theories.EU.

EPISODE 125 | Last Flight: More Airliner Weirdness
While it's totally normal that things break, sometimes there is also some kind of secret or mystery around something as monumental as an airplane crash or disappearance. And so lots of "theories" get spun, some by those who have lost someone dear to them, others by those who seek to profit from the disaster.
This follow-up episode to our previous one about airplanes, One of Our Aircraft Is Missing, is likewise dedicated to my godson, Vova, or Rusty, who just loves, loves, loves, loves commercial aircraft.

EPISODE 122 | How to Be a Communist
One of the many words tossed about these days as a snarl term is “communist”, but do the people using this sobriquet know what that really means? It certainly doesn’t mean every leftwing philosophy or ideology. In fact, Communism is a very specific set of applications of very certain ideas, and, like it or not, helped define the 20th century.
So let’s look at what Communism is and what it isn’t, and what other systems and suites of thought have crossover with it. Like all the different flavors of Socialism.

EPISODE 120 | OOPArts Doompa-Dee-Doo
Sometimes people find something… interesting, maybe even mysterious. What is that? they ask. And then they or someone else makes a logical leap and says oh, wow, here is the missing link I’ve been looking for that proves all my theories that until now have been ridiculed or ignored. And not even scientists are immune to this very common and very human process.
We’re looking at out of place artifacts, or OOPArts – things found in an unusual context. This might, upon examination, indicate that certain civilizational develops happened much earlier than we had thought or, if you’re of a certain bent, be used to further narratives of ancient advanced civilizations, Atlantis, ancient aliens, time travel, or the literal truth of the Bible.

Episode 119 | False-Flag-A-Go-Go (WIW 14)
The false flag trick started with naval warfare, but has also been used to initiate wars and to sabotage political opponents. And the conspirasphere uses the idea of the false flag, both in general and specific terms, quite often to justify certain narratives. In that regard, the two most influential are the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the attacks in New York City and Washington D.C. on September 11, 2001. Since that latter event, nearly every major public incident has been called a false flag by someone or another.
Since today is September 11, this seems like a fitting time to look at false flags from history, because they do actually happen. Sometimes.

EPISODE 118 | Public Enemy Antifa
Much has been made about Antifa. Is it a concept, socio-political stance, or an organized group? Do they oppose oppression by any means necessary, or are they simply hooligans who want to break things? Or, as Trump and others in the Maga mirror world have suggested, are they the quasi-military arm of some insidious plot to undermine the very foundations of western society? Are they, in fact, terrorists? So, let’s trace what it is, where it comes from and who is part of it.

EPISODE 117 | Stay Awake – The Wokeness Issue
In a classic example of the weird mirror world days we are currently moving through, a term used by Black people to mean one thing has been turned by opportunists into something totally different.
So, let's look at the origin of the term "woke", how it's been used, African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), the Black Lives Matter movement, Defund the Police, and the appropriating of the word by those who see more personal profit in keeping us all divided.
