A guy walks into a hardware store with vinegar, borax, copper mesh, a propane torch, and tweezers. If you have Morgellons, you know exactly what he's building — and exactly why he can't tell the kid in the orange vest. This episode opens with that scene, then goes somewhere most coverage of Morgellons disease refuses to go: the staged, recognizable progression of what people think they have before they arrive at Morgellons. Scabies. Worms. Springtails. Collembola. Lyme. Nanobots. Smart dust. The Oklahoma study at 2 AM on PubMed.Crystal Clear lays out why that sequence itself is data — not delusion. Diseases have stages of symptoms. Morgellons has stages of misidentification, marched through in roughly the same order by thousands of strangers across continents who've never spoken. That pattern requires an explanation. “Mass delusion” isn't one.Plus two records updates worth your attention: • A new Oklahoma Open Records Act request submitted to the State Department of Health regarding the 2000 Collembola study (Altschuler, Crutcher, et al.) — the one with the manipulated photographs. • An IRS 4506-A request for the Morgellons Research Foundation's final 990 filings (2009, 2010, 2011) came back denied with three stacked, internally inconsistent reasons — while the Pennsylvania Department of State has a complete eight-year paper trail for the same organization, including the dissolution filing. Schedule N would document where the money went on the way out. Schedule N is what's missing.You are not crazy. What you have is.Keywords / tags:Morgellons, Morgellons disease, Crystal Clear, More Morgellons podcast, Morgellons fibers, Morgellons stages, Morgellons symptoms, Collembola Oklahoma study, Morgellons Research Foundation, MRF 990, IRS 4506-A, Schedule N, nonprofit dissolution, Altschuler Crutcher, springtails Morgellons, Lyme Morgellons, nanobots smart dust, CDC Morgellons 2012, Mick West, contested illness, medical gaslighting, patient communities, investigative podcast

Crystal Clear opens the episode by contributing a brand-new condition to the diagnostic literature: Delusional Debunking Disorder, or DDD. The case study is Mick West, who has spent twenty years insisting Morgellons fibers are lint and Havana Syndrome is crickets. Crystal pivots to chat about Chen Tianqiao, Shanda Group founder and CCP member, who quietly bought roughly 200,000 acres in Klamath and Deschutes counties through a shell company called Whitefish Forest Resources in February 2015h. Second-largest foreign land purchase in American history. The data point that refuses to sit down: Google Trends shows Oregon Morgellons searches at zero the week of the transaction. Five weeks later, March 29, 2015, the spike hits one hundred. Lagged correlation coefficient 0.92. Top two Oregon metros for Morgellons search interest that year: Bend in Deschutes County, and Medford-Klamath Falls. Whatever drove the search spike was not news. It was something people were feeling in their bodies.Crystal traces what Chen did next. One billion dollars committed to neuroscience. The Tianqiao Chen Institute for Neuroscience at Caltech, $115 million. A Fudan University partnership in Shanghai. And NeuroXess, his implantable BCI company, whose chief scientist Tiger Tao specializes in silktrodes. January 2026: NeuroXess breaks ground on a super factory in Nanshang. March 2026: China issues the world's first commercial approval for an invasive BCI device. Enter billionaire number two. Joe Tsai, Alibaba co-founder, funder of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford, the Wu Tsai Institute at Yale, and a $220 million Human Performance Alliance that includes the University of Oregon. Then the digital twin layer. Jensen Huang, NVIDIA CEO and Oregon State alum, donated fifty million dollars for an NVIDIA supercomputer at OSU Corvallis built for “complex twin simulations.” Ninety minutes from Eugene, the number five Morgellons search metro in America. Oklahoma State launched its Digital Human Twin Consortium in January 2025, also NVIDIA-powered, and happens to sit on Dr. Randy Wymore's twenty-year Morgellons patient registry, possibly twelve thousand families, the largest biological data repository on the condition anywhere. They still ignore Crystal's open records requests. The sensor layer is Profusa, DARPA and Shanghai-funded, CEO Ben Hwang, manufacturer of injectable hydrogel biosensors. They just partnered with NVIDIA to build the AI portal reading the data. Sensors in, data out, twin built. The deepest cut is the 2001 material. Weinong Fu, computational electromagnetics specialist at Ansoft in Pittsburgh, the company whose software gets implantable devices through FDA approval, posted a web page from his corporate email in May 2001 collecting Morgellons symptom reports from Americans. His wife Li Honglui was simultaneously co-funding a Fudan University paper documenting an unidentified organism producing “creeping eruptions, migratory pain, and neurofilament damage.” American arm, Chinese arm, Pittsburgh modeling layer.The episode closes on the new Morgellons metagenomics preprint that landed on bioRxiv in April 2026, the first substantial research since Middelveen 2018. Crystal notes the venue: bioRxiv runs on Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, home of the Eugenics Record Office until Carnegie pulled funding, and has been bankrolled since 2017 by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. The paper itself gets its full deep-dive on Jeremy Murphree's Morgellons Discussion podcast. Check it out!A 0.92 correlation does not care about anyone's opinion. A 2001 paper does not retroactively become a coincidence because it is inconvenient. And nobody buys 200,000 acres in the highest-Morgellons-search state while building a silk fiber brain implant factory unless those two investments are chapters in the same business plan.
On America at Night with McGraw Milhaven, Mick West, founder of Metabunk.org and ContrailScience.com, joined the program to discuss the rise of online conspiracy theories and misinformation. West explained how his work focuses on investigating viral claims—from UFO sightings to contrails and internet hoaxes—and why critical thinking and evidence-based analysis are more important than ever in the digital age. Later, Tom Junod, acclaimed journalist and longtime magazine writer, joined the show to discuss his book “In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to Be a Man.” The memoir reflects on Junod's relationship with his father, exploring themes of masculinity, family expectations, and personal identity. Junod is also widely known for writing the famous Esquire profile of Fred Rogers, which later inspired the film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tim Burchett introduced HR 8197 on April 6, 2026 — a bill to terminate AARO, repeal its authorizing statute, and permanently ban any future centralized authority over unidentified anomalous phenomena. This episode, Crystal breaks down what the bill actually says (not just the headline), why Section 1(a)(2) is a prohibition rather than a reform, and how the bill's definition of UAP extends well beyond flying saucers into biological materials, directed energy, and anomalous effects on human bodies.But before we get to the bill, we follow where Burchett pointed us: to Matt Gaetz, the man who entered Chinese state propaganda into the congressional record thinking it was from the Atlantic Council — then carried a military briefing about alien-human breeding programs straight to a podcast without checking the source. War zones. Migrant caravans. That's not science fiction detail. That's sourcing language. And Gaetz, Crystal says, does his own roasting. This is Part 4 in the Elizondo/West playlist. If you haven't heard the Mick West email exchange or the Chapter 8 breakdown, start there. The three bins — psychiatric, alien, parasitic — are the same architecture. And now there's a bill to make sure no one ever centralizes the question under a single accountable authority again.19 seasons. No budget, no staff.

In Imminent (2024), former AATIP director Luis Elizondo describes anomalous implants recovered from military and intelligence personnel after UAP encounters as identical to Morgellons fibers — brightly colored, apparently self-moving. No major interviewer has followed up. Not Joe Rogan. Not Jesse Michels. Not Danny Jones.Mick West built MorgellonsWatch.com and spent a decade debunking the condition. He also debunks Elizondo. So when presented with a direct question — do the fibers in Chapter 8 undermine Elizondo's credibility, or do they complicate your position on Morgellons? — he should have had an answer. He didn't.This episode contains the full six-email exchange between CC and Mick West, read verbatim. West responded three times within minutes, never addressed the fiber claim directly, committed an ad hominem fallacy, was named on it, committed it again, and exited with “sorry, too busy.” The timestamps tell their own story.Also covered: the three analytical bins that keep Morgellons outside institutional accountability — psychiatric dismissal, alien implant folklore, and parasitic illness via tick-borne disease. How Elizondo's Chapter 8 structurally serves the third bin. The trypanosome-spirochete error in Elizondo's own text. DARPA co-funding of Profusa biosensor technology alongside PRC-affiliated investors. The BRAIN Initiative (2013–present). Weinong Fu. The question nobody in UAP disclosure will answer.Open invitations to both Elizondo and West remain standing.Season 19. More Morgellons. moremorgellons.com

Luis Elizondo, former director of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP, 2008-2012), sat down with Mick West — who spent those exact same years running Morgellons Watch, a website dedicated to dismissing a contested dermatological condition. In his book Imminent, Elizondo casually states that implants recovered from military and intelligence personnel after UAP encounters were “identical to Morgellons fibers.” West, who built a decade-long platform on debunking Morgellons, never asks about it. Not once. Neither has Joe Rogan or any other interviewer.This episode covers: AATIP's overlap with DARPA-funded biosensor and brain-computer interface research (2008-2012), the Department of Defense's investment in implantable micro-electrode arrays and biophysical sensors during that period, the launch of the BRAIN Initiative in 2013 (where Michelle Pearson the CDC study lead investigator is now chief of staff), Elizondo's counterintelligence background, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui's 1999 book Unrestricted Warfare, Weinong Fu at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and the question nobody in the UAP disclosure space will touch.More Morgellons. 18 seasons. moremorgellons.com
Mick West co-founded Neversoft Entertainment, programmed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, retired from Activision in 2003, and then did something nobody has ever forensically examined: he built Morgellons Watch, a website dedicated to convincing the public that Morgellons disease is a delusion. He wrote over 100 articles under the pseudonym “Michael.” He edited the Wikipedia Morgellons article under a second pseudonym, “Herd of Swine,” while lobbying for his own site to be cited as a credible independent source. His Wikipedia account was flagged for sockpuppetry. The site accumulated roughly 12,000 comments from 88 registered users — an average engagement rate of 20+ comments per user — on a condition mainstream medicine had already dismissed.The site is still live in 2026. West says he lost interest around 2012.This episode applies the same forensic standards to the counter-narrative that Uninvestigated has applied to the Morgellons Research Foundation. If the MRF's IRS 990 filings, defense-connected board members, indicted grant recipient, and vanished 12,000-family patient registry warranted investigation, then the debunking apparatus that ran in parallel deserves identical scrutiny.Crystal examines the cost-benefit problem: why a financially independent retired programmer with no medical or scientific training sustained a complex content operation for years on a single niche medical condition. She maps the pseudonym architecture: “Michael” on Morgellons Watch, “Herd of Swine” on Wikipedia, Mick West everywhere else — three identities, three platforms, one narrative project. She traces the timeline convergence: Morgellons Watch launched in April 2006, the exact month Congressional pressure toward a CDC investigation reached critical mass. And she identifies the open forensic threads that have never been pursued: historical WHOIS domain registration records for morgellonswatch.com, cross-domain registrant comparison with contrailscience.com and metabunk.org, IP address hosting history, and Wikipedia edit pattern analysis.The episode also explores a remarkable synchronicity. West chose “Herd of Swine” from Mark 5 — the Gadarene demoniac narrative, where unclean spirits called “Legion” are cast into pigs that rush into the sea. Years later, independently and without knowledge of West's username, Crystal drew a parallel between the Gadarene story and the Morgellons patient experience: the afflicted person dismissed as mad, the community that prefers chains to healing, the testimony nobody wants to hear. West named himself after the destruction vehicle. Crystal found the story from the testimony side. Same scripture. Opposite characters.The episode closes with the 12,000 mirror: 12,000 families entered the MRF registry hoping their data would drive research. That registry was destroyed without public disclosure when the foundation dissolved in 2012. 12,000 comments accumulated on Morgellons Watch, a site engineered to ensure that anyone Googling their symptoms found dismissal before they found help. One apparatus collected testimony. The other buried it. Neither has been audited.Open investigative threads: WHOIS forensics on morgellonswatch.com domain registration and hosting history. Wayback Machine timeline analysis. Cross-domain infrastructure comparison. Wikipedia edit history audit for User:Herd of Swine. Comment metadata analysis including timestamp patterns and user registration clustering. Financial trail from Neversoft/Activision exit through Committee for Skeptical Inquiry fellowship.West built Morgellons Watch. Crystal built Westwatch. Somebody had to.
Both morgellons.org and morgellons.com were registered March 14, 2002. The registrant was not Mary Leitao or her husband Edward Leitao (an internist who died suddenly two years later and whose name appears in no subsequent MRF publication, board filing, press release, or congressional testimony). The registrant is listed as “dkornsin” (K-O-R-N-S-I-N), with an associated email address of dkornsin@hotmail.com. No Kornsin appears in Pennsylvania nonprofit records or Pennsylvania public address records from this period.A user named “D. Kornsin” appears on BlackHatWorld, a black hat SEO forum, with a join date of January 2011 — resurfacing a decade later asking about domain resale value. The email cluster associated with the WHOIS data connects to Chinese software distribution infrastructure, specifically the 2345.com ecosystem — a major Chinese tech platform known in malware analysis circles for grey-zone adware distribution behind deliberately obscure registrant contacts. An associated email address, ch3web@hotmail.com, also traces into that infrastructure.The domain was made private in October 2017 — six years after the MRF officially dissolved. Someone was still maintaining it then, and someone is still maintaining it today.The MRF Patient Registry and DissolutionThe MRF dissolution announcement, dated February 15, 2012, stated the organization was no longer active and not accepting registrations or donations. Remaining funds were donated to the Oklahoma State University Foundation to support Morgellons disease research. The dissolution was filed using IRS Form 990-N, the minimum possible instrument, available only when gross receipts fall below $50,000. No program descriptions, no asset disposition schedule, no documentation of what happened to organizational property.The patient registry — containing self-reported onset dates, locations, symptom profiles, occupational information, and geographic clustering data from over 12,000 families across all 50 states and at least 15 countries — has no documented public disposition. Its transfer to OSU, if it occurred, left no public trace.Historical Source Material: Mick West / Morgellons WatchThe episode references a 2007 post from Mick West's Morgellons Watch site with 101 comments, and reads from a post by a commenter identified as “Nissi,” who described receiving 177 viruses from Morgellons-related websites, identified by her husband — the owner of a communications company who had previously been recruited by the FBI. Full coverage of Mick West's role is flagged for a dedicated future episode.Andrew Huff / EcoHealth Alliance ConnectionThe episode references prior season coverage of Andrew Huff's FOIA request and his allegation that Peter Daszak, head of EcoHealth Alliance (the organization involved in gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology), told Huff he had been working with the CIA since 2015. Huff later retracted the FOIA request after reporting organized harassment by the U.S. government.An open records request has been filed with Oklahoma State University (request 26-100) seeking documentation related to research agreements, contracts, MOUs, and CRADAs connected to Morgellons research — including any records related to the patient registry transfer.

On this episode of The Zach Show, Mick West joins Zach to trace how modern conspiracies form from the Charlie Kirk assassination to UFO lore. They examine social media speed, projection of political fears, and AI's role in amplifying falsehoods such as Grok inventing quotes about the Kirk assassination. Mick shows why high-resolution footage often fails to stop speculation, how theories evolve like viruses, and why people prefer simple enemies. The conversation moves into an analysis of the recent 'Hellfire Missile Vs. UFO' video presented in Congress, parallax, thermal contrast, provenance problems, the rise of UFO cults, how misperception fools even the most experienced pilots, and more. Guest bio: Mick West is a science writer, debunker, and founder of Metabunk.org. Author of Escaping the Rabbit Hole, he specializes in unraveling conspiracy theories and UFO claims. A former video game programmer, Mick co-founded Neversoft and helped create Tony Hawk's Pro Skater before becoming the internet's go-to UFO skeptic.

Patrick is joined by Mick West to discuss the Mosul UFO Video released on the latest Weaponized Podcast with Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp.
Following a recent "bombshell" report by the Wall Street Journal revealing the Pentagon's secretive disinformation efforts involving UFOs since the Cold War, controversy has erupted over the extent of the long-running deception, whether the new "revelations" are actually just more disinfo, and what this means in terms of investigation of "real" UAP incidents. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we wade into the controversy, along with an examination of recent statements by the Deputy Director of the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office regarding its uncovering of evidence of the DoD's deception over the years, as well as the cases involving mysterious "black triangles " that still baffle AARO officials.

You know, it's amazing how despite this current age of information, we sometimes get lost in what's actually true and struggle to wade through the constant barrage of misinformation. It sometimes feels like everyone's got a theory for something, whether it's the results of the 2016 election, the source of COVID 19 or something more harmless like UFO's and the existence of the Loch Ness Monster.We see them everywhere online and, in the world, popping up in conversations with coworkers and overheard standing in line for coffee. So, it's no wonder it can sometimes be hard to untangle this complex web of facts and falsities. My guest today has wrangled conspiracy theories head on with a level head and persuasive evidence. Mick West is a science communicator, author, and one of the leading voices in debunking misinformation. As the creator of Metabunk.org and author of Escaping the Rabbit Hole, Mick has dedicated his work to exploring how conspiracy theories take root, why they resonate, and how we can counter their influence with evidence-based reasoning.From claims of secret geoengineering plots to the outright denial of climate science, conspiracy theories have a powerful ability to misinform, distract, and derail meaningful progress. In this conversation, we'll uncover the real-world impacts of these narratives on climate science, public trust, and environmental policy—and discuss what we can do to move toward a more informed future.https://www.metabunk.orghttps://www.contrailscience.comhttps://youtube.com/mickwest Get full access to Earth to Humans Podcast's Substack at earthtohumanspodcast.substack.com/subscribe

With eyewitness testimony in the US Congress and purported alien bodies being wheeled into the Mexican Congress, it looks like we're in another UFO craze right now. It was great to have science writer and sceptical investigator Mick West on the podcast to make sense of this evidence and evaluate what the odds are that aliens truly walk among us. Check out Mick's current research at metabunk.org, it's my first stop for anything UFO-related. Check out the video of this conversation on the Strenuous Life Podcast channel on Youtube. And finally, please share this episode with a friend who might be interested - that's how this podcast grows! May the force be with you, Stephan Kesting
I've replaced the intro on our audio distribution system but the system apparently caches the file and it may take some time for the corrected audio to work its way out to the world. My apologies - the music volume is so high in the first 5 mins of the intro it's very difficult to hear the text but it clears up after that. Still, I worked hard on the intro only to make a rookie mistake when finalizing the project. Hopefully the corrected audio will eventually make it to the public. Mick West continues our discussion of trying to solve UFO mysteries while keeping his cool. Mick is the author of Escaping the Rabbit Hole: How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories Using Facts, Logic and Respect. He hosts a leading site for analysis of weird aerial phenomenon called Metabunk. He also maintains the site "Contrail Science" which tries to resolve the pseudoscience of "Chemtrails."

Please subscribe now for as little as 5$ and gain access to a community of over 800 awesome, curious, kind, funny, brilliant, generous souls The Earth is flat, the World Trade Center collapse was a controlled demolition, planes are spraying poison to control the weather, and actors faked the Sandy Hook massacre … All these claims are bunk: falsehoods, mistakes, and in some cases, outright lies. But many people passionately believe one or more of these conspiracy theories. They consume countless books and videos, join like-minded online communities, try to convert those around them, and even, on occasion, alienate their own friends and family. Why is this, and how can you help people, especially those closest to you, break free from the downward spiral of conspiracy thinking? 9 mins In Escaping the Rabbit Hole, author Mick West shares over a decade's worth of knowledge and experience investigating and debunking false conspiracy theories through his forum, MetaBunk.org, and sets forth a practical guide to helping friends and loved ones recognize these theories for what they really are. Perhaps counterintuitively, the most successful approaches to helping individuals escape a rabbit hole aren't comprised of simply explaining why they are wrong; rather, West's tried-and-tested approach emphasizes clear communication based on mutual respect, honesty, openness, and patience. West puts his debunking techniques and best practices to the test with four of the most popular false conspiracy theories today (Chemtrails, 9/11 Controlled Demolition, False Flags, and Flat Earth)―providing road maps to help you to understand your friend and help them escape the rabbit hole. These are accompanied by real-life case studies of individuals who, with help, were able to break free from conspiracism.
