His work connects ancient symbology, blood sacrifice rituals, and astronomical alignments to ongoing ET operations. Known for his bold style and refusal to censor, Ryushin warns that upcoming celestial events—such as the Blood Harvest Full Moon Eclipse on September 7th, 2025—may mark significant turning points in humanity's struggle for sovereignty. Description Is an alien attack truly imminent? In this explosive episode, Robert Kalil sits down with Ryushin Malone to decode the warnings surrounding the Blood Harvest Full Moon Eclipse, an astronomical event he believes is tied to an interdimensional invasion. We'll explore: The Orion Lines and their connection to alien transport corridors The symbolism of the Black Sun and its historical significance Why certain eclipses are ritual windows for alien and occult forces Potential timelines for open alien operations on Earth What humanity can do to prepare, protect, and resist Brace yourself—this is not your average UFO discussion.

In today's episode of Truth Wanted, Kelley Laughlin and Eli Slack, work through indoctrination before relaxing into some ghost encountering sleep paralysis. Just try to “free will” yourself out of that state!Adrian, a believer in CA, uses a concordance to support claims of prophecies that have been fulfilled such as the book of Zechariah mentioning piercing. How can you tell the difference between a narrative and a prophecy? How do we know this reference point can be used to get to the truth when there is the potential of bias? How do you prove that something in the Old Testament points to Jesus? Remember, the Bible is not proof of anything; it is just a series of books that make a bunch of claims. It is important to dig deep to discover why and when you started to believe these things. If you were born in India or Arabia, would you still be a Christian? Question the evidence of your beliefs and look for other sources for Christianity besides the Bible. The same standards used to determine if other religious scriptures are real need to be applied to the Bible. Why would you settle for anything less than 100% of prayers being answered? Cynthia in IL, describes an encounter with a ghost while experiencing sleep paralysis in an old dormitory that was thought to be haunted. How do you think perception shaped this experience? Looking back at things with skepticism can be an excellent tool for these things. The brain can do some freaky things! Stephen in Australia asks about free will and rather we truly have it. Where do you think decision making takes place, within the self or outside of the self? You can do what you want, but you can't will what you want. There is a difference between free choice and free will. Backup host, Jon the Skeptic, joins us to share the question of the week: What is the possible fallout of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding?

According to Rogers and Hammerstein's musical Oklahoma!, “The farmer and the cowman should be friends.”  Shouldn't it be the same for the Fortean and the skeptic?  Is it even possible?   My guest tonight is Blake Smith, the host of the MonsterTalk podcast, and a self-described skeptic.  And I think you know how I take issue with a lot of skeptics and so-called skeptical arguments.  But Blake and I are friends.  Somehow, after a vulgar and insulting email blunder on my part, Blake kindly wrote back to me, a correspondence began, he invited me to be on his podcast, and the rest is history. The Fortean and the skeptic became friends.  I think the reason we're friends is that Blake has an honest interest in all things paranormal, but he also came upon his skepticism in a very human way. He doesn't use it as a cudgel to beat anybody down. And best of all, ridicule is just not part of who he is. Also, the guy he has an amazing book collection, he loves to drink port, he's quick with a pun -- and he's just an all-around great guy.   In this conversation we cover everything from Whitley Streiber's Communion to the Heaven's Gate tragedy; from exploding lightbulbs to snake-handling cults; and from “the hard problem of consciousness” to the one kind of paranormal experience that might change Blake's skepticism forever.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher and essayist David Hume's essay "The Skeptic", found in his Essays Moral, Political, and Literary, the first of his four essays that bear names of members of philosophical schools, about which he tells us: "The intention . . . is not so much to explain accurately the sentiments of the ancient sects of philosophy, as to deliver the sentiments of sects, that naturally form themselves in the world, and entertain different ideas of human life and of happiness. I have given each of them the name of the philosophical sect, to which it bears the greatest affinity." The Skeptic is the longest of the four essays, and can be taken as a short presentation of Hume's own ideas about philosophy and life. The perspective of this fourth essay calls into question the perspectives of the three previous essays, and focuses not only on the difference in viewpoints on important matters between human beings, but also on why this is the case. It turns out the ascriptions of values such as beautiful or ugly, worthy or contemptible are additions to judgements about the truth or falsity of matters, and these value-ascriptions derive from a number of particular circumstances.

What if the water you drink could listen to your thoughts… remember your intentions… and help heal your body? In this mind-expanding episode, we sit down with Michael Hobson, founder of Aquene Springs, a man whose journey has taken him from math professor and music industry disruptor to spiritual water alchemist. Michael shares how a mystical synchronicity led him to a sacred spring in the high deserts of Idaho, where water emerges from the Earth at 139°F, pulsing with life, memory, and healing potential. But this isn't just about better hydration...it's about frequency, intention, and consciousness.Michael breaks down the science of water memory, the link between thoughts and physical well-being, and how you can program your water to manifest your desired reality. By the end of the episode, you'll never look at a glass of water the same way again, and you may just find yourself whispering sweet intentions into your next sip.

Gabbard also revealed that according to intelligence, Russia had evidence that Hillary Clinton suffered from “psycho-emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression” and took a “daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers,” though they were saving the public release of this information until after her presumed victory. 3:30pm- When asked whether former President Barack Obama engaged in any criminal behavior, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard explained: "We have referred, and will continue to refer, all of these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI...the evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment." 3:50pm- Rich tries Dave's Hot Chicken—but was warned against getting the “Carolina Reaper' spice level which he learned requires signing a waiver.
