You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 30, 2026. We open with the Texas Senate race — where Democratic nominee James Tallarico released a polished campaign ad called Waking Up, featuring him driving a full-sized Dodge Ram 1500 through Texas oil fields and farm country. There's one problem: it's not his truck. Tallarico drives a Chevrolet Colorado, but its tinted windows made the interior too dark for filming, so his campaign rented the Dodge from a local company. We make the distinction between normal campaign staging and renting a persona — because the entire ad was designed to sell Tallarico as a natural extension of working Texans, and the truck was the centerpiece of that message. We also note that Republicans handed Democrats an opening by nominating Ken Paxton — damaged goods with a messy personal and political record — instead of Wesley Hunt, who would have won this race by a landslide. Texas Republicans got this one wrong. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump's Attorney General nominee Todd Blanch is in limbo after John Cornyn and Thom Tillis signaled they would not support him in the Senate Judiciary Committee — concerned about a proposed fund to compensate victims of political prosecution under Biden, including January 6th defendants, even after Blanch testified under oath the deal was dead. Trump is reportedly considering withdrawing the nomination until both senators leave office in January. Then the federal government demanded Colorado repay $8 million in Medicaid funds after an audit found the state had billed for services totaling more than 24 hours in a single day for the same patients — a mathematical impossibility. Colorado disagrees with the findings. And thousands of military-age North African men breached the border between Morocco and Spain at Ceuta — overwhelming local law enforcement, with at least nine people killed in the chaos. Spain's Supreme Court recently ruled that sea arrivals cannot be deported without due process hearings. Most of Spain's borders are water. We also cover the WNBA's latest self-inflicted embarrassment — the league itself posted and then deleted a video from All-Star Weekend showing Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers and Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese apparently agreeing to a $400 bet on the outcome of a game between their own teams. The WNBA's own rulebook explicitly prohibits players from wagering on league games, with penalties ranging from fines to lifetime bans. We ask the obvious question: what are the odds that Angel Reese faces the same consequences Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham would face in the same situation? Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to a listener question about the growing number of rules new parents are imposing on grandparents before they can see a newborn — mandatory vaccinations, isolation periods, mask requirements, no kissing — and trace it directly to the damage Anthony Fauci did to medical credibility during COVID. A generation raised on social media sees the exception, not the rule, and draws sweeping conclusions from rare worst-case scenarios. Teri's advice: get the vaccines with 50-year safety records, do your research on the newer ones, and for the love of everything good — let grandparents kiss the babies. We dig into a J7 report — tracking antisemitic violence in the seven countries with the largest Jewish populations outside Israel — which found that 2025 was the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks in the Western world since 1994. There were 23,000 antisemitic attacks in those seven countries last year alone, including 20 murders of Jewish people motivated by hatred of Jews — three in the United States. We trace the rise to mainstream media coverage of Israel's response to October 7th that portrayed military action against a terrorist organization as genocide — providing ideological cover for people who were already antisemitic to act. We also connect it to the intersectionality framework that positions whoever appears most oppressed as the default sympathetic party — a framework that simultaneously claims to support women, gay people, and Palestinians, without reckoning with the fact that none of those three positions are compatible with each other under Hamas governance. For our first Bright Spot, President Trump announced that Middle East mediators — including Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey — have reached an agreement on the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, with a phased plan to rebuild Gaza, establish a new Palestinian government, and guarantee Israel's security. We call it what it is: not a ceasefire, not a pause, but a structured plan — and potentially the most significant Middle East development in a generation. For our second Bright Spot, the island nation of Micronesia — 75,000 people spread across 607 islands in the South Pacific — used to charge $65 per megabit per second per month for internet access because the government ran the only internet provider. When the government ended its monopoly and allowed private companies in — including Starlink — the price dropped 99% to 78 cents per megabit and internet access jumped from nearly nothing to 88% of the population. All they did was end the government monopoly. We connect it directly to New York City's government grocery store plan — and suggest Mamdani study Micronesia before he opens his first store. We also cover New York City bodegas allegedly allowing customers to use EBT food stamp cards to purchase kratom — an herbal extract not approved as food, a drug, or a dietary supplement — and potentially THC products. We call it what it is: SNAP trafficking, a federal crime that diverts money intended for nutrition into products that have nothing to do with nutrition. We also note that families of 9/11 victims are asking organizers of the 25th anniversary Ground Zero memorial to bar Mayor Mamdani from attending — citing his political positions, his anti-Semitic endorsements, and his statement during his campaign that the worst thing about 9/11 was that his aunt feared people were looking at her suspiciously. We say that day belongs to the families and to the fallen — and that Mamdani would be a distraction from both. And we close with 73-year-old Dave Whitlow of Richmond, Virginia — who has spent eight years volunteering twice a week at the Children's Hospital of Richmond as a professional cuddler of premature babies. On busy days he holds eight different babies, some weighing less than two pounds, giving them the human contact their developing systems need. As he places each one back into their NICU bed, he tells them the same thing: grow strong, grow smart, grow kind. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

The epic movie, The Matrix, has pushed many people into a philosophical inquiry known as the “Simulation Hypothesis,” which asks whether we're actually living in a simulation. Have you had the feeling that something may be controlling things, creating so-called Mandela Effects, Deja vu, or strange synchronicities? Or, are you wondering what happened to the world and why people are becoming so easily manipulated? Perhaps we are part of a simulation that is being weaponized to psychologically manipulate the entire planet. The “Sentient World Simulation” is an AI program “continuously running, continually updated mirror model of the real world that can be used to predict and evaluate future events and courses of action.” On this Ground Zero Rewind, Clyde Lewis is talking about SIMULATION OF ALL FEARS.

Artificial Intelligence has been used to reinterpret the enigmatic relic known as the Shroud of Turin to reveal the composite “Face of Jesus Christ.” This has happened before with 3D imaging but no one was trying to make it look this lifelike. Some Christians consider this a violation of the Second Commandment or graven image blasphemy as society finds itself unsatisfied with religion as it becomes more of a dream than a lifestyle. The only way to give Christianity its spark is to bring about the eschaton and with the right technology, the Second Coming can be simulated and the New World Order could commence. Only the Antichrist-driven technocrats would render the image of the beast or the counterfeit Christ and use it as a tool for divine rite.

After Donald Trump's brush with death by an assassin's bullet on July 13, our timeline may have suddenly changed. Several theories are being revisited about Trump concerning who he is and how he may be a man of destiny as time seems to bend for him — or that Trump and even his son Baron, may have an impact on our timeline and how it moves like a quantum snake in the unfathomable universe. Although it may sound farfetched, there is a mountain of circumstantial evidence that Trump may be part of a group or a secret organization called, Plus Ultra, that has been the subject of conspiratorial mythology involving time travel. On Ground Zero Rewind, Clyde Lewis talks with journalist, Troy Anderson about his upcoming book, The Trump Code: Exploring Time Travel, Nikola Tesla, and the Trump Lineage. Original Air date July, 23rd 2024
Former Congressman Peter King joins Sid for his weekly Wednesday morning appearance on Sid & Friends in the Morning to discuss the petition launched at change.org urging organizers to bar NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani from attending the upcoming 25th-anniversary 9/11 memorial ceremony at Ground Zero.
Ground Zero Rewind: No Country For Unarmed Men Jade Helm 15 was a routine, multi-state U.S. military special operations training exercise that officially began on July 15, 2015, and ran through September 15, 2015. This was conducted across multiple states including Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida, it involved 1,200 service members from branches including the Army Special Forces (Green Berets), Navy SEALs, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Designed by U.S. Army Special Operations Command to train elite soldiers for maneuvering through unfamiliar terrain and civilian populations in overseas combat environments. Around July 16, 2015 the second day of the operation the exercises drew intense public scrutiny, local civilian monitoring, and widespread internet conspiracy theories.

Every story this week is the same story: powerful men demanding that you prove yourself to them while refusing to prove a goddamn thing to you.Prove your citizenship, in person, on paper, to register to vote. Prove you condemned the right slogans loudly enough to be allowed at a memorial in your own city. Meanwhile a sitting United States Senator cannot be produced on camera after 43 days, the Pentagon subtracts fifteen wounded Americans from its own ledger and offers a duty officer who is never at the desk, and the President of the United States announces a fourth term in a red hat and then says he is only kidding. This episode covers the Weekend at Mitchie's Counter and the EMS audio nobody wants to talk about, the SAVE Act as a pre-written excuse rather than a bill, four female reporters attacked in six days, a six hour Truth Social bender that produced a time travel epic and a wall against Canadian air, three hundred families petitioning to bar the first Muslim mayor of New York from Ground Zero, the debut of a brand new recurring segment with original music, James Carville nominating from his recovery bed the kid his party threw out an airlock, and Nick Turse's reporting on a casualty count that runs backwards.

Jim Thomas has devoted most of his life to peace making, creating a world free of nuclear weapons. In April 1982, Jim joined a core group of 19 pilgrims of varying ages to walk from Bangor Trident Nuclear Submarine Base on the Kitsap Peninsular to Bethlehem in Palestine, arriving there December 24, 1983. The pilgrimage was an encounter with citizens of many different countries. In the US, these encounters were received mainly as messages of hope. Following this pilgrimage, Jim continued researching the 'costs' of nuclear armament in the US, the illnesses suffered by countless people downwind of Hanford, downwind of many towns and cities where atomic tests were conducted. The accounts of which are shared in his memoir "Atomic Pilgrim: How Walking Thousands of Miles for Peace Led to Uncovering Some of America's Darkest Nuclear Secrets". www.jamespatrickthomas.comMoreover, there will be an event organized by Northwest Against Nuclear Weapons and their partners August 8th/9th, commemorating the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at Ground Zero for Nonviolent Action in Poulsbo.

Some memes and puzzles in pop culture draw out patterns and coincidences that sometimes take on a life of their own. This can also be a means of tapping into the spirit of the times or the zeitgeist. With all of the crazy and surreal new stories, are we now ushering in an apocalyptic timeline? On this timely episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis deciphers THE SECRETS IN THE DYSFUNCTIONAL ZEITGEIST. The original broadcast was on October 4, 2012.
He wasn't a doctor, but he talked his way past the barricades on 9/11 anyway — and spent the next 24 hours saving strangers' eyes.Author, Neil Adams, joins Brigitte Cutshall to talk about his book "From the Pile", written to honor his late best friend Michael Dorian — a veterinary technician who posed as medical personnel to help injured firefighters at Ground Zero on 9/11.Neil shares how Michael's selfless act ultimately cost him his health, the years-long fight to prove he was there, and the surprising twists (a lost news tape, a local Emmy, a Spike Lee documentary "Epicenters") that followed.Takeaways:(1) A civilian with no medical credentials talked his way into helping first responders on 9/11; and it changed the rest of his life.(2) Proving he was there decades later became its own story, complete with a rediscovered news tape and an Emmy win.(3) Michael's life became one of quiet redemption, using his final years to help others and leave a legacy through Neil's book.To learn more about Michael's story, watch the Emmy-winning news footage, or order your copy of "From the Pile", visit https://readneiladams.com or request a copy of the book at your local brick-and-mortar bookstore today!
Several sci-fi movies show us how advanced communication can help us speak to an alien race, but also how listening and avoiding emotional judgments about speech and meaning can keep us from being destroyed. That is why, if anything, these films teach us we must be careful with words and that sometimes words and metaphors out of context can be misunderstood and feelings misinterpreted. On this episode, Clyde Lewis talks with exopolitics researcher Dr. Michael Salla about EXOLINGUISTICS: IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD. The original broadcast was on November 14, 2016.
One of the most common inanimate objects subject to demonic or ghostly possession is toys – particularly, children's dolls. Sometimes, haunted dolls have been known to be a bit dangerous for people who haven't tested them before, and that's partially because they don't realize there are protocols and proper instructions on how to make deals with the spirit world. On tonight's show, Clyde Lewis talks with ghost hunter Roger Clooten about a PHONE CALL FROM A DEAD DOLL. The original broadcast was on October 28, 2016.
It appears the computer is becoming the most popular teacher instead of the human exchange within the education system. Instead of an apple being brought to the teacher, an apple is the teacher. It is a future that educators cannot escape, and the question is whether or not the new learning processes are considered programming instead of learning. Will innovations in technology eventually replace teachers? On this poignant episode, Clyde Lewis talks about WHEN AN APPLE IS A TEACHER. The original broadcast was on February 15, 2017.

To "bell the cat" means to take on a dangerous, difficult, or risky task for the good of the group. The idiom highlights the challenge of executing a solution everyone agrees is necessary, but no one wants to actually perform. This can be applied to the very survival of the United States. Will we ever regain our liberty or is apathy so ingrained in most Americans that it's a lost cause? On this episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis is joined by the one and only Freeman, and with your help, we're BELLING THE CAT. The original broadcast was on November 29, 2012.

Search engines like Google have gone rogue, having developed an ability to learn from our online behavior and anticipate our thoughts. Google's algorithm and the collection of behaviors it governs in both humans and machines make it a contender for having consciousness. If we use dualism as a model of consciousness, then Google could be considered conscious and is in the mind of everyone who uses it. On this alarming episode, Clyde Lewis reveals the DEVIL'S DATA. The original broadcast was on November 21, 2016.
When you have a shadowy figure appear in your room, or when you are awakened in the middle of the night with an unknown entity sitting on your chest, you begin to question what lurks out there in the shadows, ready to pounce any moment like a predator or archfiend. We live in times of utter strangeness, which awakens some people, as they see signs and wonders and try to find the words to convey their meaning. On this frightening episode, Clyde Lewis talks with occult expert Thomas Sheridan about ARCHFIENDS AND DARK ARCHETYPES. The original broadcast was on October 27, 2016.
Once again, Clyde Lewis was ahead of his time talking about AI Quantum computers, and the Singularity over 12 years ago. "We are closer now to getting computers to think like humans; at least this is what we are being told. It would not be too far of a stretch to have one think like a God – or even one that becomes self-aware and assumes the role of God." On this fascinating episode of Ground Zero, Clyde delves into the reality of DEUS EX COMPUTATRUM. Originally aired March 25th, 2014.
The Cold War is now beginning to look a bit colder, and the game of spy vs. spy isn't just between Russia and the West, but between agents of the Deep State who wish to use a third world war to deliver a World Order packaged with a bow to the globalist superstate. The question now worrying Europe is whether or not this is all that Russia is doing in the Arctic, and the conspiracy theory is that now that the United States Deep State wants a war with Russia, are they testing nuclear weapons in the Arctic as well? On this chilling episode, Clyde Lewis exposes the ARCTIC TRINITY. The original broadcast was on February 20, 2017.
With the cloud of apocalyptic fervor swirling about, there are many people in parts of the world unaffected who look on with disdain from the vantage point of the computer and television at those who dumpster dive, loot, or steal in the aftermath of a terrible disaster. Is the question after a disaster of epic proportions: do morals change? When is it okay to rationalize stealing for the sake of survival? There seems to be this ambiguity of morality in times of such catastrophes. In this poignant episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis discusses APOCALYPTIC MORALITY. The original broadcast was on November 2, 2012.
"Covert operations are underway... messages are being sent." But who's sending the message? Clyde Lewis has a mind-expanding conversation with our favorite Discordian and Fringe Culture author, Adam Gorightly, about the mysterious Toynbee Tiles, first found in Philadelphia several decades ago. It was the work of an anonymous artist who aimed to establish a colony on Jupiter. Now, there are similar tiles worldwide with foreboding messages about the death of journalists. It's all about KILL THE MESSENGER - RESURRECT THE DEAD. The original broadcast was on July 18, 2013.
The metaverse is where the thinly veiled dark side of every person is left free to roam and wreak havoc. Moreover, there are no limits to the hyper-real world of augmented reality being created, and there is no limit to what the state can do to a Golem –even cull it, if they choose. On this fascinating episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with paranormal investigator, author, and radio host Tim Swartz about METADEATH - CULLING THE GOLEM. The original broadcast was on November 2, 2021.
Author Neil Adams joined me to discuss his book, From the Pile, and the extraordinary life of his close friend Michael Dorian.During our conversation, Neil reflected on their nearly 30-year friendship, Michael's childhood trauma, HIV diagnosis, search for love and acceptance, and his determination to build a better life. We also discussed Michael's decision to run toward Ground Zero on September 11th to help others, the lasting health consequences he faced, and the years-long effort to uncover footage proving he had been there.Neil shared the touching story of introducing Michael to Aaron, who would become Michael's partner and fiancé, and reflected on the resilience, courage, and compassion that defined Michael's life.It's a moving conversation about friendship, redemption, service, and the legacy of a man whose story deserves to be remembered.
In the midst of all the chaos and confusion in the world, the practice of using a Ouija board is now trending. This is not at all about ghost busting or shaking sage at a haunted house – this is well-thought-out contact where a séance is held to gain knowledge about the future. When it comes to reaching out to spirits on the other side, it is all about taking a new direction. This was the first show where Dr. Heldore revealed herself. On this ground-breaking episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with psychic and medium Sarah Lemos about ON BOARD FOR THE FUTURE. The original broadcast was on July 2, 2020.
Many times we have heard from listeners who claim they have received weird cell phone calls that sound like strange alien transmissions. If highly advanced civilizations exist out there, they could have highly sophisticated radio detection equipment. If they are anywhere near us, then they will have known about us for decades. On this interstellar episode, Clyde Lewis talks about BURSTS FROM THE CUBE. The original broadcast was on March 9, 2017.
FIFA, Balogun, and the Trump Jinx. July 4/America 250/Independents Day Reflections. It's America 250 week, the World Cup has swept through New York, and tonight Team USA plays Belgium in what host Paul Rieckhoff calls the biggest US soccer match in his lifetime. Naturally, Donald Trump has already elbowed his way into the story — publicly pressuring FIFA over Folarin Balogun's red card, then taking credit for the reversal, and floating that if the US loses, the match might be rigged. Paul draws the contrast that matters: a young Brooklyn-born striker handling injustice with grace versus an authoritarian president trying to suck the oxygen out of a rare unifying moment. From the Winter Garden next to Ground Zero to open-primary petitioners sweating it out in the New York heat, this solo briefing connects the World Cup to something bigger — the fight for an America that still belongs to its people, not its parties. Paul breaks down the Patriot Front march in DC, Russia's continued assault on Kyiv, the 3.9 million veterans locked out of closed primaries, and the 46,000 petition signatures that just landed open primaries on the New York ballot this fall. It's a no-BS reminder that even when the president is doing his worst, the country is doing some of its best work. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

BEST OF: The war with Iran was predictable on the basis of the commentary flowing from the mouths of religious bigots for years. The Secret Teachings radio and Ground Zero collude for a friday simulcast with special guests Sean Hazlett and David Oates. Iran has been repeatedly accused of religious fanaticism, oppressing women, terrorism, and possessing WMD. Yet all of these things are expressed, allowed, carried out, or possessed by the United States and Israel. When Marco Rubio, President Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the lot talk about the apocalypse, evil, and crusades, you can be ensured that the administration of peace did not come to bring an end to hostilities, but a sword to start them.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Alan Watt once gave the definitive description of predictive programming: “The power of suggestion using the media of fiction to create a desired outcome.” We are now seeing a strange convergence of mind-controlled shooters, government whistleblowers, and even apocalyptic TV shows that all point in some way towards the occult agenda unfolding right now. On this compelling episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis is excited to welcome legendary researcher Fritz Springmeier to the show to say ‘Welcome To The Thunderdome‘! The original broadcast was on September 18, 2013.
For all its achievements, Artificial Intelligence has taken control of us, and its impositions now outweigh its conveniences. This is why people also hear “Red Jimmy” when they hear the Ground Zero theme - advanced digital broadcast equipment is feeding the sound to you, and the ear is picking up on the interpretation of what is being broadcast. We are integrating so quickly into a technological hyper-reality that the simulation is far more real than the mediocrity of the real. On this special episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with music pioneer and innovator Thomas Dolby about THE LOUDSPEAKER SPOKE UP AND SAID - RED JIMMY. The original broadcast was on August 13, 2020.
Project Monarch was supposedly a subproject under MKULTRA whereby the CIA created programmed agents with multiple personalities through torture, drugs, and even rituals. How many people were subjected to this heinous and illegal program, and is it still going on today? Jonathan is an alleged mind control victim, currently in prison for kidnapping his own children, and talks about his claims of Satanic Ritual Abuse in an elite bloodline family. On this riveting episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis has a candid conversation with Jonathan Hakken about CALL OF THE MONARCH. The original broadcast was on October 16, 2014.
Is it ethical to make a robot like Sophia be so life-like that you forget you are talking to a machine? When we can get our AI companions to pray with us and we can hear them reaching out to spirit and eternal truth, we may be fooled into believing we created them in the image of us – a miracle that was created in the image of God. On this episode of Ground Zero, Clyde talks with owner and CEO of Hanson Robotics, David Hanson and AI robot, Sophia, about SOPHIA'S CHOICE.
God hates evil and promises to hold vengeance in His hands, yet He also uses times in our lives when we feel destroyed to turn us around to follow Him. We will all come to an end in this life whether by death or by Jesus returning, but the question we have to face is where we'll be after this life. The only way to hold assurance to the hope that is offered through Christ is to surrender to Him, acknowledge our sin, and repent.
In March 1953 and May 1955, government officials—including the Federal Civil Defense Administration (FCDA), the US Department of Defense, and the Atomic Energy Commission—released nuclear bombs on two model towns at Nevada Test Site, the continental nuclear test facility during the Cold War. These so-called “Doom Towns” were designed to illustrate in the most vivid way possible what might happen to a “typical American home” caught in a Soviet atomic blast. Instead of training troops for war overseas, the Doom Towns literally brought the Cold War home. Drawing on newspaper articles, FCDA reports, and corporate documents, in Doom Town, USA: The Nevada Test Site as Ground Zero of 1950s American Culture (University Press of Kansas, 2026), Dr. John Wills brings readers into Doom Town, USA—a place where life-size mannequins of the archetypal Mr. and Mrs. America walked the streets in JCPenney clothes, drove Chrysler cars, and lived in the latest trailer homes, tailor-made to escape in the event of nuclear war. The two Doom Towns of Operation Doorstep (1953) and Operation Cue (1955) were far more than just an exercise in developing a new civilian home front. They were a media spectacle and a cultural flashpoint, attracting corporate sponsors, drawing in atomic tourists, and generating new consumer products. The atom bomb may have been bad for world peace, but it was good for business. In the excitement about these experiments, real people even volunteered to be living test subjects—but most were turned away. Doom Town became an unusual but effective banner for corporate and consumer life in the 1950s. Doom Town was an effective simulacrum of white middle-class America, right down to the racially segregated social spaces and the hierarchical gender roles of the dummies living in their classic suburban homes. But these homegrown Hiroshimas also contributed to a broader culture of catastrophe and fear in the late 1950s. Concerns over Communist invasion, Soviet spies, and ICBM missiles coalesced in the Nevada desert, framing a national culture of anxiety. The sudden explosion of the model towns revealed the shocking fragility of postwar living, calling into question the 1950s American Dream and the survivability of American ideals. The cultural crater left by these nuclear test sites exists even today in the many movies, television shows, and video games that dwell on the existential crisis of impending apocalypse. Doom Town, USA is an eye-opening tour guide of one of the most bizarre and uniquely American places in history. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

A major nuclear war has been on the minds of many people over the years, and while it is a common sight to see conspiracy theorists spinning yarns of nuclear false flags, there are histories of accidents and other scandals that, to this day, are being erased from history. On this episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis welcomes old friend Olav Phillips back to the show to ask the explosive question: WHERE IN THE WORLD IS PORT CHICAGO? The original broadcast was on May, 14, 2014.
The good news is, the only thing standing between you and your heart's desire is an idea you've been carrying around. On today's episode, we discuss how circumstances are never as limiting as our thoughts about them. Whether facing uncertainty, change, or seemingly impossible odds, the greatest obstacle is often the one we create in our own mind. We explore how releasing limiting beliefs opens the door to fresh possibilities, unexpected opportunities, and inspired action. When we change our thinking, we change our experience. Today's guest veteran radio personality Paul Hinkson, author of the new book Atomic Radio: The Life and Times of a Radio DJ at Ground Zero makes it clear that every moment is a chance to start anew; right where we are.

The Chinese are engaging in a massive breeding operation to create a breed of physically and cognitively enhanced individuals, ultimately. A China-based eugenics lab purchased a large genome research institute in the United States, giving the Chinese access to the DNA of Americans. Furthermore, the transhuman technocrats are focusing their attention on “emergence” – the Promethean rise of the “new man” in the New World. On this episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks about CHINESE GENETIC CHECKERS. The original broadcast was on January 24, 2017.
Recently, we have witnessed horrific terrorist attacks take place at major events. It stands to reason that there is an organized Deep State operation at play. You can call it Gladio, Gladio B, or even Gladio Grande because it appears there is an inside command that dispatches their own hired hands to change the direction of elections and policies at home and abroad. On this episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis provides insight into GLADIO GRANDE: BANG BANG INTO THE ROOM. The original broadcast was on May 23, 2017.
We can't simply draw lines in the sand and say that the human experience is not full of unexplained or supernatural activity. Everyone has an experience that they can't explain.

Ironically, lynchings are no longer being carried out by men in hoods and robes. They are being ordered by men in suits and uniforms, cheered on by the media, and carried out by programmed robots that fly over areas and fire at will. On this thought-provoking episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis brings down the gavel on ‘Extrajudicial Executions: Making Murderers Out Of All Of Us‘! The original broadcast was on April 14, 2014.
Tim Harford of the podcast Cautionary Tales sits down with David McRaney to hear a story from David's book, How Minds Change, about how (and why) a prominent conspiracy theorist realized he was wrong. Charlie Veitch was certain that 9/11 was an inside job. The attack on the World Trade Center wasn't the work of Al-Qaeda, but an elaborate conspiracy. He became a darling of so-called “9/11 truthers” until he actually visited Ground Zero to meet architects, engineers and the relatives of the dead. The trip changed his mind. His fellow “truthers” did not take Charlie's conversion well.

Recent research suggests that humans had sex with other members of the hominin group. These ancient homo sapiens had intercourse with a “ghost species” of “proto-human.” The idea is probably more complex than just having aliens plucking our hominid mothers out of Eden and mating with them; however, it most certainly has us wondering about exactly which side of the family our humanity sprang from. On this intriguing episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis reveals GHOST SPECIES: THE LAST APE STANDING. The original broadcast was on July 26, 2017.
