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. Episodes every other Wednesday.

EPISODE 28 | Back in Black: BEKs, Black Helicopters, Black Knight & More
Black is the new black. We in the West sure seem to have an issue with this darkest of dark shades. It often symbolizes nefarious things, especially in the conspiracy world. Black is the colour of my true love's hair, but it's also the colour of evil black-eyed children, Soviet cars, sinister black helicopters, mysterious secret aircraft and alien satellites.

EPISODE 26 | Come On Vaccine! Vaccine Hesitancy & You
Science marches on, eradicating debilitating diseases (among other things). However, there have always been some who are skeptical, or even downright hostile, to this. There are lots of reasons: maybe God wants your kid to get sick, the ingredients used are harmful and/or weird, or they have terrible side effects, like giving children autism; turning them into half-man, half-cow hybrids or making making males become homosexuals. Or maybe there are teeny, tiny mind control devices in them.
Or maybe all of these things are true. When you decide that science doesn't matter, and there's no such things as a fact, it's sort of a free for all of superstition and suspicion.

EPISODE 25 | The Dyatlov Pass Incident: More Than a UFO Story (The World Is Weird 4)
People love mysteries but also hate them. Unanswered questions drive us crazy, especially when the stakes are high. Like when someone dies. Or when nine people die on the side of a mountain in the dead of winter, found in various states on undress, with unexplainable wounds and missing body parts. The strange and provocative events of the Dyatlov Pass Incident have kept UFOlogists, cryptozoologists and people who just distrust the government very busy for the past 62 years.

EPISODE 24 | Agenda 21: This Land Is My Land
A secret international elite plans to depopulate much of the earth, and enslave the rest of it. We know because they keep publishing papers about it. Like Agenda 21, a set of environmental goals created in 1992 and pretty much ignored ever since. This is really a declaration of war against freedom and the first step in the global takeover. And it starts with your land.
Yes, the New World Order is back, and this time it's about real estate, national parks and affordable housing led by internationalists who are Communists and/or Nazis and/or homosexuals.

EPISODE 22 | Jingle Hells: The War on Xmas
Some members of the largest religion in the world, over 2.4 billion people, somehow feel aggrieved or under siege, especially when it comes to one of their most important holidays. We're talking about Christians and Christmas, and the narrative that claims there's a concerted effort to destroy the celebration of Jesus' birth. Who? Depends on who you talk to. Communists, or Jehovah's Witnesses, or 7th Day Adventists, or Puritans, or Jews, or Muslims, or Black people, or atheists, or some combination of these groups.
This episode traces the notion of a "war on Christmas" back to its beginnings and looks at some periods in history when the holiday was not only not celebrated but was actually illegal. And many of the modern trappings of Christmas are, in fact, quite recent innovations in a long story.

They were the most powerful group in Medieval Europe, and then they vanished. Who were the Templars? Warrior-priests with good patronage? Keepers of the Holy Grail and other mystical secrets? Blasphemous gay Satan worshiping freaks? All of the above?
For centuries, people have claimed to have figured out the secrets of the Knights Templar and what they were really up to. This is one of the big 'uns.

Finally, I mention the Portuguese templars in Santarém but should also have mentioned their huge church and base in Tomar.

EPISODE 20 | Time for Timer: Pseudohistories & Historical Revisions
History may not have happened like you think. Is it possible that whole swaths of so-called "history" have been made up to bolster various people and downplay others, or maybe even to cover up the existence of the greatest historical force ever known - the Russian Horde?
What year is it? Is it 2020? Or 1723? 2520? Depends on who you listen to.

EPISODE 19 | The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress: Facts & Fictions About Our Nearest Neighbour
You can be over the moon, bark at the moon, ask for the moon, shoot the moon; something can happen once in a blue moon, there's a man in the moon (or a woman or a rabbit or a toad). Maybe there are ruins on the moon. Maybe there's an alien base there. Maybe Nazis live there. Maybe it's a hollow spacecraft. Or a hologram. Or a nightlight (a big one).
