Tonight on Veritas our special guest is George Haas. For more than thirty years, he has committed himself to a mystery that sits far beyond the borders of accepted history. Across Earth, from the Nazca plateau to the ancient cities of Mesoamerica, we find evidence that early cultures carved meaning and intention directly into the land. Yet on Mars, a world long assumed to be barren, there are formations that raise questions far more provocative than anything we see here on Earth. George Haas approaches the Red Planet not as a traditional scientist, but as an artist trained to see structure, symmetry, and design. When he studies high resolution orbital images, he does not see random geology. He sees hexagonal mounds with mathematical precision. He sees star shaped complexes positioned like architectural blueprints. He sees gridded foundations scattered across a region NASA once labeled chaotic terrain. And he sees immense geoglyphs, including a parrot that veterinarians concluded displays more than twenty accurate anatomical points. These are not the vague shapes of imagination. They are detailed, consistent, and often familiar. His new book, The Great Architects of Mars, takes the reader into a hidden chapter of our solar system. Haas explores the Keyhole formation in Libya Montes, a structure whose proportions mirror kofun tombs of ancient Japan. He examines twin cities laid out near a long dead Martian lake. He analyzes symbols carved into the landscape that echo motifs found in Mesoamerican art. And then he turns to the ancient records here on Earth. The Maya spoke of a Star War linked to Mars. The Sumerians told stories of visitors from the heavens. These accounts have always been treated as myth. Haas asks a different question. What if they are memories. Tonight we explore the evidence, the contradictions, and the possibilities. Did Mars once hold a civilization capable of engineering, storytelling, and interplanetary contact. If so, what remains of it, and what does it mean for us now.

Original broadcast 12/25/2024... In the dark days of the reign of Herod, the descendants of King David lived under the radar in humility even as they awaited the imminent arrival of the Messiah. A (probably young) man named Joseph lived in the town of Nazareth and would become the earthly father of Jesus - the child of Mary & the Holy Spirit. Mike Aquilina has written a book that places us in Nazareth, Jerusalem, and the region to see what day-to-day life was life among David's descendants. Mike and Bishop Caggiano talk about St Joseph and His World on Let Me Be Frank… detailing Joseph's four interactions with angels, his silence, the 1000-mile flight to Egypt, his life as a carpenter in Nazareth, and much more.

Episode SummaryThe future of cyber resilience lies at the intersection of data protection, security, and AI. In this conversation, Cohesity CEO Sanjay Poonen joins Danny Allan to explore how organisations can unlock new value by unifying these domains. Sanjay outlines Cohesity's evolution from data protection to security in the ransomware era, to today's AI-focused capabilities, and explains why the company's vast secondary data platform is becoming a foundation for next-generation analytics.Show NotesIn this episode, Sanjay Poonen shares his journey from SAP and VMware to leading Cohesity, highlighting the company's mission to protect, secure, and provide insights on the world's data. He explains the concept of the "data iceberg," where visible production data represents only a small fraction of enterprise assets, while vast amounts of "dark" secondary data remain locked in backups and archives. Poonen discusses how Cohesity is transforming this secondary data from a storage efficiency problem into a source of business intelligence using generative AI and RAG, particularly for unstructured data like documents and images.The conversation delves into the technical integration of Veritas' NetBackup data mover onto Cohesity's file system, creating a unified platform for security scanning and AI analytics. Poonen also elaborates on Cohesity's collaboration with NVIDIA, explaining how they are building AI applications like Gaia on the NVIDIA stack to enable on-premises and sovereign cloud deployments. This approach allows highly regulated industries, such as banking and the public sector, to utilize advanced AI capabilities without exposing sensitive data to public clouds.Looking toward the future, Poonen outlines Cohesity's "three acts": data protection, security (ransomware resilience), and AI-driven insights. He and Danny Allan discuss the critical importance of identity resilience, noting that in an AI-driven world, the security perimeter shifts from network boundaries to the identities of both human users and autonomous AI agents.LinksCohesityNvidiaSnyk - The Developer Security Company Follow UsOur WebsiteOur LinkedIn

Are Coronal Mass Ejections dangerous to life on Earth? When are we finally going to plunge through the sulfuric acid clouds to measure the atmosphere of Venus. And what's up with 'Oumuamua and 3I/Atlas? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome astrobiologist Dr. David Grinspoon, aka Dr. FunkySpoon. As always, we start with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the arrival at Earth of two consecutive Coronal Mass Ejections on Nov. 11, 2025, creating an amazing display of Northern and Sothern Lights. In the US, aurora were seen as far south as Texas and even Central America, and yet Chuck, Alan and David were all frustrated by clouds in their own attempts to see them! Luckily, they've each already seen auroras with their own eyes, a viewing event David likens to seeing a total solar eclipse. David discusses how solar flares can impact human technology, but that while solar flares from other stars could be dangerous for life on their planets, at this point in our sun's lifetime, they are unlikely to wipe out life on Earth. Chuck shares aurora images that were taken by our previous guest, astrophotographer Elliot Severn. For our audience questions this week, we're answering questions given to Chuck while he was presenting at an event in Erie, PA. The first question Chuck asks David is, “When we have interstellar visitors like 'Oumuamua and 3I/Atlas, [1] why are they moving so fast in our space? They seem to defy gravity [2] How can they know what 3I/atlas is made of but not the density or materials?” David explains why the extreme speed at which they are moving is actually proof that they are interstellar objects and not something else. He also discusses how we use spectroscopy to determine what they're made of the same way we determine what distant stars and exoplanets are made of. Our next question from Erie, PA is, “Is there a mathematical probability or formula to predict the likelihood of life existing int he universe? In other words, has someone developed a model to predict how many unique things need to happen for life to evolve?” David explains the Drake Equation, a series of questions that help astrobiologists assess the probability of intelligent life in the galaxy. Our last question from Erie is, “If humans find life on a different planet, would we actually understand how to coexist with the information, or will world leaders hide the truth from us?” David points out – as someone who has helped devise astrobiology policy – that the response depends in part on the specifics of the discovery, like how far away that life is. But would the government be able to hide it? David says that the scientists who discover it would be shouting it from the rooftops: “How long would it take to type it and hit send?” And as Chuck points out, the very act of the government trying to censor it would turbocharge the speed at which scientists would get the news out. The real problem, David says, is the potential of each discovery being overhyped by journalists, leading to public burnout. He brings up two examples of overhype: the discovery of possible biosignatures in iron nodules on the Martian rock Cheyava Falls in 2024 by the Perseverance Rover, and the presence of dimethyl sulphide in the atmospheric composition of exoplanet K2-18 b. Next, we turn to David's “second favorite planet,” Venus, which he has studied and written about extensively. David shows us the first book he ever wrote, “Venus Revealed” and talks about upcoming missions to Venus: two from the US, DAVINCI and VERITAS; a European Space Agency mission named EnVision; a Venus Orbiter Mission by India's ISRO, and a private Rocket Lab mission to Venus. David, who is involved with the DAVINCI mission, tells us about the plan to plunge through the sulfuric acid clouds to measure the Venusian atmosphere and surface with modern instruments for the first time. We end with a discussion of the anti-science cycle we're going through, and David shares why he thinks this moment is so unusual and scary, but also why there is reason for hope. Chuck talks about why scientists take the long perspective, and David reminds us of the huge worldwide support for the exploration of space.

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Camille Harman. Some people search their entire lives for evidence that we are not alone. They scan the skies, read the research, hope for confirmation. But for a rare few, the phenomenon doesn't wait for an invitation. It arrives uninvited, and it doesn't leave. Camille Harman's journey began in 1995, shortly after she arrived in Los Angeles. What she witnessed in the sky that night should have been the end of the story. Instead, it was the beginning. The sightings escalated into abductions. Missing time. Physical marks she couldn't explain. And memories that surfaced only under hypnosis. Memories of beings that radiated light, and others that were coldly clinical in their precision. But the most disturbing element wasn't what came from beyond. It was what came from within our own world. Military personnel, present during her experiences. Human hands participating in operations that were never supposed to exist. Her search for answers carried her to Roswell, to the crop circles of England, to the pages of UFO Magazine where she documented what others refused to acknowledge. She studied the frameworks of Icke, Maxwell, Swerdlow, Bashar. She married a fellow experiencer and built a life where the phenomenon was never far away. Then, in 2013, everything changed again. A spiritual transformation brought her into the Catholic faith. A faith that views non-human contact through an entirely different lens. And yet, the sightings continued. Even at her own church. Meanwhile, her acting career accelerated. She appeared in the Academy Award-winning film Vice. She worked inside Hollywood, catered for directors like Roland Emmerich, and walked into homes covered in Masonic symbolism. She saw what the entertainment machine hides in plain sight. Today, she is a founding member of the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance, finishing a book about her three decades of experiences, and speaking publicly about what the world is only now beginning to accept. Tonight, Camille brings all of it forward. The abductions. The MILAB operations. The Hollywood esoterica. The Catholic reckoning. And the question that haunts every experiencer. Why me, and why won't it stop? This is not a story of distant lights in the sky. This is a story of contact that never ended.

Edward Teague is alive as heck and he's on the pod. Legendary sci-fi actor Robert Picardo joins us to talk about his time on Smallville, how it resonates today, and what it means to share it with his family. In the episode, after an assailant carves Kryptonian symbols into Lex, everyone is on a mission to find out why. Clark treks north to Montreal and has a not-so-warm encounter with the last living member of Veritas. Lex is led on a similar path as he connects the dots with his cryptograph. The season is coming to a rapid close, but will all the pieces come together? Tune in to find out! Thank you to our sponsors:

Airbus A320 fuselage panel problems, Thunderbird F-16C crash, ATC prime integrator, hand flying, Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems, Southwest Airlines meltdown fine, solar flares and A320 groundings, airline pay-for-delay compensation, and charging air travelers without REAL ID. Aviation News Airbus prepares A320 inspections as fuselage flaw hits deliveries Airbus engineers are inspecting 628 A320 family exterior fuselage panels for thickness defects. The skin panels have thickness deviations beyond Airbus's design tolerances. The panels were manufactured by a Spanish supplier Sofitec Aero and do not represent a flight‑safety risk at this time. Panels on the upper forward fuselage are the main concern, with deviations having also been found in some rear‑fuselage sections. The affected panels are not serialized, so Airbus must inspect the entire batch of potentially impacted airframes rather than trace specific parts. A320 Family final assembly line in Toulouse. Courtesy Airbus. Sofitec Aero is an aerostructures company that designs, manufactures, and assembles metallic and composite aircraft structures for major OEMs, including Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, Bombardier, and several Tier‑1 suppliers such as Spirit AeroSystems and Stelia. It is a privately held firm, founded in 1999. Thunderbirds F-16C Fighting Falcon Crashes in California The 57th Wing Public Affairs Office issued a statement saying, “On December 3, 2025, at approximately 10:45 a.m., a Thunderbird pilot safely ejected from a F-16C Fighting Falcon aircraft during a training mission over controlled airspace in California. The pilot is in stable condition and receiving follow-on care.” The F‑16C went down during a routine training mission in controlled airspace over the Mojave Desert. The crash site is located in a remote desert area near the town of Trona, approximately two miles south of Trona Airport and about 27 miles from Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. Hydrazine: A Significant Hazard Each Time An F-16 Crashes (Or Fires Up The Emergency Power Unit) F‑16s use hydrazine in their emergency power units, so environmental and hazmat teams from Edwards Air Force Base were deployed to the site to evaluate and mitigate any hazardous materials concerns. The F-16's Emergency Power Unit (EPU) is a backup power system that utilizes H-70 (approximately 70% hydrazine and 30% water) to drive a small turbine, supplying emergency hydraulic and electrical power in the event of main engine or generator failure. Hydrazine is used because it is a monopropellant that can rapidly generate mechanical power without external oxygen, but it is also highly toxic, corrosive, and flammable, so its use is tightly controlled and largely limited to legacy or niche applications. US government selects contractor Peraton to lead air traffic control modernisation In Episode 865, we reported that two bids had been received to become the prime integrator for the FAA's project to overhaul the air traffic control system, called the Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS). They were Peraton and Parsons Corporation. Congress had approved $12.5 billion for the project, and the Agency has indicated that an additional $19 billion might be requested. The US Department of Transportation (DOT) selected Peraton as the prime integrator. The national security company is owned by Veritas Capital and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. Flight Global says Peraton is a “provider of technologies for large, complex organisations, offering services including cyber security, systems engineering and modernisation, cloud computing and data management.” According to Veritas, the company specializes in buying and growing companies that sell technology and services to U.S. government agencies in defense, intelligence, civil, and health markets. Examples include acquisitions or control of federal IT and mission‑support businesses such as Northrop Grumman's federal IT arm (combined into Peraton) and health IT and analytics providers serving Medicaid and Defense Health Agency programs. See also, What to know about the air traffic control overhaul and the company FAA hired to manage it. Union Urges ‘Back-to-Basics' Approach to Pilot Skills Captain Wendy Morse is a Boeing 787 captain and serves as first vice president and national safety coordinator at the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). In a recent interview at the Skift Aviation Forum in Fort Worth, she said the union is advocating for pilots to “go back to our roots” and maintain strong manual-flying proficiency throughout their careers. Morse said, “So the biggest thing is [getting] back to basics…We have to maintain a basic level of flying, a basic level of flying skills, and we have to continue to maintain those basics. This business about positive rate, gear up, [and] put on the autopilot is not a good idea. We have to keep flying the airplane so that we're good at it.” Boeing closes Spirit AeroSystems purchase in major supply chain realignment Boeing has completed its takeover of Spirit AeroSystems. Under the $4.7 billion deal, Boeing re-acquires most of Spirit AeroSystems. Airbus picks up parts of Spirit in its supply chain. Operations in Subang, Malaysia, went to Composites Technology Research Malaysia, and the subsidiary Fiber Materials was sold earlier this year to Tex-Tech Industries. Portions of the Belfast, Northern Ireland, operations will continue as an independent subsidiary branded as Short Brothers. Trump administration lets Southwest Airlines off the hook with a multimillion dollar waiver for 2022 holiday travel meltdown In 2023, the Biden administration fined Southwest Airlines $140 million for the 2022 holiday travel meltdown. The US Department of Transportation has now waived the final $11 million installment of that fine. The DOT says Southwest has made worthwhile investments in its operations control center and “the Department is of the view that it is more beneficial for the flying public to give Southwest credit for significantly improving its on-time performance and completion factor.” The 10-day schedule meltdown resulted in 17,000 canceled flights, roughly half of Southwest's holiday season flight schedule. Southwest paid out $600 million in refunds and reimbursements to passengers who were affected. Add in additional labor costs and lost revenue, and the airline reported a $914 million after-tax loss. Aviation News Follow-Up A320 Groundings – There Was No Solar Flare In Visual Approach, Airplane Geeks co-founder Courtney Miller argues that the data does not support the case that the October 30, 2025, uncommanded altitude decrease of a JetBlue A320 was caused by solar radiation. Looking at proton flux data, Courtney says, “We are talking about high-energy protons traveling from the sun to Earth, penetrating the Earth's protective magnetic field, and also penetrating the aircraft's hardware shielding to deliver what's called a Single-Event Upset (SEU). Another term you may have heard for it is a “bit flip”. The proton flux usually arrives associated with a solar flare, but not always. NOAA tracks and reports these events. In the days leading up to the “intense solar radiation” that Airbus referenced as the potential issue in the JetBlue upset, there was no intense solar radiation.

Pay-On-Delay Would Send Airfares Soaring, Says Transport Minister The Australian Federal Transport Minister, Catherine King, told ABC Radio in Sydney that an EU-style “pay-on-delay” compensation scheme would drive up airfares in Australia. The federal government has proposed airline customer protections, and the Minister's comments come after a consultation period ended. EU 261 requires that airlines pay passengers compensation for delays and cancellations within their control. King feels the Australian market is too small to sustain such a measure. “It is costly to administer compensation schemes. Those costs are generally passed on to passengers,” she said. Fliers without a compliant ID will have to pay TSA $45 next year The TSA says that starting in February 1, 2026, air travelers in the U.S. without a REAL ID will be charged a $45 fee. The initially planned $18 fee was raised after officials realized this identification program would cost more than anticipated. The fee applies to travelers 18 and older who are flying domestically without a REAL ID or other accepted form of ID. The non-refundable fee will be required to verify identity through the TSA Confirm.ID system. Confirm.ID replaces TSA's older manual “forgot my ID” procedures. It's a more automated, technology‑assisted process that uses a traveler's biographic and possibly biometric information to verify identity and screen against watchlists. Confirm.ID is meant as a last‑resort option for people who arrive at the checkpoint without a compliant ID, not as a routine substitute for REAL ID or a passport. The fee can be paid online before arriving at the airport. Travelers can also pay online at the airport before entering the security line, but officials said the process may take up to 30 minutes.

Something is ending. You can feel it before you can explain it. The familiar world is dissolving, and what is rising to replace it is not human in spirit. It has no face, no voice, only an algorithm waiting to instruct the public imagination. Tonight we open Season 18 of Veritas, and Neil Kramer returns at the moment when clarity is needed most. Neil never appears during quiet chapters. He arrives when the atmosphere tightens, when the horizon shifts, when people sense a deeper truth moving beneath the noise. And right now, the air is very thin. Across the Western world, meaning itself is slipping away. Europe faces a demographic crisis that sits beside migration pressures, cultural destabilization, and a loss of continuity that leadership refuses to confront. Birth rates have collapsed across the developed world, revealing more than a social problem. They reveal a civilization that no longer believes in its own future. Christianity has fragmented, leaving millions spiritually unanchored. Into that vacuum, Islam expands with population strength and cultural confidence. America drifts in its own struggle, torn between moments of awakening and waves of confusion. Few people recognize the tension between culture, religion, and the importation of value systems that do not share the same moral inheritance. While this unfolds, technocracy advances with steady precision. Digital identity systems. New legislative frameworks like the Algorithmic Accountability Act. Behavioral shaping. And a censorship structure that does not silence through force, but through correction, filtering, and engineered agreement. Traditional governance is weakening while algorithmic governance grows stronger. Perception is managed. Masculinity and sovereignty are discouraged. Higher thought is replaced with performative compliance. And Agenda 2030 extends through institutions as a philosophy of how human beings should live and obey. In a climate like this, truth-telling has become a countercultural act. The real question is how to remain spiritually upright in a world shaped by intentional confusion. How to keep agency, clarity, and inner strength as the old structures fall away. Tonight we go directly into that territory. No filters. No evasion.

Blessed Advent to you! Pope Leo XIV just wrapped up a visit to Turkey & Lebanon. Bishop Caggiano reflects on the trip and the Holy Father's meetings with Orthodox patriarchs.   Is there hope for reconciliation and reunion with the Orthodox Churches? What is the history of the split, and what are the main points of disagreement? All of that is on this week's Let Me Be Frank.   Also... this is pledge drive week for Veritas.

One thing that many alumni and students will say upon reflecting on the merits of their Veritas education is: "I learned how to carry on a good conversation."It's true that the art of conversing may be dwindling in our culture. Being able to relate to others well in a variety of situations - and engage on a breath of topics - is a skill that is deeply appreciated by others, and beneficial for ourselves, too.Especially now, coming into the holidays when we find ourselves in an array of social settings with family, friends, and even strangers, being equipped with the mindset and skills for good conversation will make Christmas gatherings all the more pleasant for everyone.Our host, Head of School Ty Fischer, is joined in this episode of Veritas alumni Jesse Brooks and Dean of Students and Omnibus/Rhetoric teacher Graham Dennis to talk about what makes for a good conversation, and how we can help cultivate in ourselves and our children the desire and skill to carry on good conversation.After all, that a big part of what we're doing at Veritas – fostering students who can listen well and speak thoughtfully on topics that truly matter, and who excel at relating with one another in Christ because they've been trained regularly in talking around the table.This season of Cultivate is sponsored by Hershey Financial Advisers, a wealth management firm located at North Pointe Blvd. in Lancaster, PA, leading people to make better financial decisions and empowering them to fulfill a vision beyond themselves.

n part 1 of a conscious collective conversation about duality, shadow work and honoring our dark selves, mystical adviser Fola Veritas, a former psych nurse, opens up about her own experiences with duality and the struggles for consciousness in the spiritual collective on THE SOULFAM PODCAST with Diana. Duality and shadow is a power. It is a source for compassion and reflection both for ourselves and for society as we are often both perpetrator and victim. Fola Veritas (‪@folaveritas‬) powers through the trends and opens up a conversation about the value of the divine feminine's shunned powers...where our own darkness or shadow is inherently our power. Join this thoughtful, mind provoking conversation as the galaxies shift and Earth's upgrades continue to rock humanity into two polarized worlds.

Tonight on Veritas our special guest is Dr. David Rosmarin. For as long as humans have existed, we have tried to understand the strange force inside us that tightens the chest, stirs the mind, and makes us question our place in the world. We call it anxiety, and most people treat it as a flaw to hide or a malfunction to correct. But what if we have misunderstood it from the very beginning? What if anxiety is not a sign of damage, but a signal that something inside us is trying to awaken? A message pointing toward what matters, what we cherish, what we fear losing, and what we might become if we stop fighting ourselves. Dr. Rosmarin has spent his career studying this misunderstood experience from every angle. He is a Harvard professor and a leading clinical psychologist who has worked with thousands of individuals across the world. His work asks a simple question that most of us never consider. What if anxiety is not here to break us, but to guide us? In his research, clinical cases, and spiritual insights, he reveals how anxiety can sharpen our courage, deepen our compassion, strengthen our relationships, and even open the door to a part of ourselves we rarely explore. We live in a time where people are told to eliminate discomfort at all costs. Yet Dr. Rosmarin challenges this idea by showing that the more we fight anxiety, the stronger it becomes. And the more we welcome it, the more it teaches us about our purpose. He shows that anxiety often appears in the very places where we carry the most meaning. It rises in the presence of love, responsibility, dreams, uncertainty, and identity. In other words, anxiety appears where we are most alive. Tonight, we explore the possibility that anxiety is not the villain. Our relationship with it is. This is a conversation about reclaiming the mind, rediscovering courage, understanding fear in a new way, and finding strength where most people only see weakness. It is a conversation about listening to the signals that rise inside us and allowing them to shape a deeper, more meaningful life. Tonight, Dr. David Rosmarin joins us to help us understand how anxiety can become one of the greatest forces for connection, clarity, and growth. This episode's cover art captures the idea behind "Anxiety Alchemy: The Hidden Power Within." The visual shows a cracked brain surrounded by gears and scattered fragments, illustrating the disruption and inner turmoil that anxiety can create. Out of these cracks, a golden branching filament extends toward a glowing crystal, representing how clarity, strength, and self-discovery can emerge from facing anxiety. Classic alchemical symbols, including triangles and a hexagram, are woven through the gold, evoking the tradition of turning raw, difficult experiences into something valuable. The entire image is a metaphor for how anxiety, when understood and transformed, can reveal unexpected power and personal growth.

Olsen, James Olsen himself, Aaron Ashmore joins us to talk about his featured episode, S7E17 Sleeper. He talks about stepping into Tom's starring shoes as well as a slick pair of dancing shoes. When Jimmy's tapped by the FBI to keep tabs on Chloe, he goes full-on James Bond and tests his loyalty to his girl and his country. Meanwhile Lex makes it to Zurich to dive deeper into the secrets of Veritas. It's a fun one, but be on the lookout for the FBI-eh! Thank you to our sponsors:

As the holidays approach, it feels like the perfect moment to reflect on feasting. Many of our families will soon gather around tables filled with long-cherished traditions—rituals that bind us together in joy and gratitude.In Classical Christian education, tradition isn't just appreciated; it's essential. Feasting is woven into the fabric of our school culture, shaping why families love Veritas and why students feel so deeply connected here.In this lively conversation, Veritas teachers Rhonda Forbes and Caleb Ploutz, Director of Events Rona' Martin, and our Head of School Ty Fischer explore the heart behind our many feasts: what they look like, why we host them, and how beauty, celebration, and intentional effort mark a child's education in profound ways. They unpack how these joyful, carefully crafted events help form students' souls in virtue, truth, beauty, and goodness. Enjoy!This season of Cultivate is sponsored by Hershey Financial Advisers, a wealth management firm located on North Pointe Boulevard in Lancaster, leading people to  make better financial decisions and empowering them to fulfill a vision beyond themselves.

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Darcy Weir. For more than ten years, Darcy has taken his camera into the places most people only read about. He has investigated UFOs flying over active volcanoes, secret space programs buried in classified archives, and mysterious sightings beneath the oceans that suggest we are being watched from more than just the skies. Through his documentaries, he has followed the trail of the Men in Black, those strange figures who appear after credible encounters to silence witnesses. He has looked into psychic experiments once funded by intelligence agencies, searching for proof that the human mind may reach farther than science is willing to admit. He has also explored the legend of Sasquatch, speaking with researchers and witnesses who believe an undiscovered species still walks among us. His films have taken him into crop-covered fields where geometric patterns appear overnight, carved into the earth with precision that seems almost impossible. Each investigation adds another piece to a growing picture of secrecy and the unknown. Whether it's objects moving through our oceans, lights dancing above volcanoes, or ancient stories that refuse to fade, Darcy's work pushes us to ask what is real and who decides what the public is allowed to know. Tonight we'll talk about the evidence he's gathered, the witnesses he's met, and the forces that continue to hide the truth in plain sight. This is a conversation about what we see, what we believe, and what may finally prove that reality is far stranger than we think.

Bishop Caggiano & Steve visited the campus of the school where Steve is known as “Coach”. They opened the floor to all the students of Cardinal Kung Academ so they could ask the Bishop whatever is on their minds and in their hearts. And we got some excellent questions, like:    …how can young people discern their vocations? …what is the Church's actual teaching about the death penalty? …do our pets go to Heaven? …what do you think is the most important thing we should be praying for right now? …what's the best way to make a taco?   And wait until you hear the rest of the questions! Definitely tune in to see Bishop Caggiano's wonderful conversation with these excellent high school students.   LINKS  email list: https://www.veritascatholic.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/veritascatholic/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/veritascatholic   Let Me Be Frank is made possible in large part due to listener support, if you'd like to help keep Let Me Be Frank and other Veritas Programs on the air, you can help support of Veritas at: https://www.veritascatholic.com/donate

David Grinspoon discusses upcoming Venus missions: DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) and VERITAS (Venus Emissivity, Radio science, InSAR Topography, and Spectroscopy). DAVINCI, the first entry probe with 21st-century instruments, will precisely measure atmosphere composition, like the deuterium/hydrogen ratio, to reconstruct water history. VERITAS, an orbiter, will map the surface in detail, looking for signs of active volcanism and ancient shorelines.

New NASA Missions DAVINCI and VERITAS Set to Decipher Venus's Atmosphere and History. Dr. David Grinspoon (Planetary Science Institute) and David Livingston (The Space Show) describe the upcoming NASA missions to Venus: DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) and VERITAS. DAVINCI will be the first entry probe with modern instruments since 1979, descending through the atmosphere to sample gases and measure temperature and pressure, also capturing descent photographs. A core scientific goal is obtaining a precise measurement of the deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio and noble gas abundances to better reconstruct the history of water loss and the atmosphere. VERITAS, an orbiter, will use radar and infrared mapping to look for signs of active volcanism and geological evidence of ancient shorelines on the surface. These missions aim to collect detailed data that will allow scientists to walk backward through time and understand how Venus transitioned into its current extremely hot state. Retry

The pieces are coming together but we still have questions in Season 7 Episode 15: Veritas. When Clark and Kara attempt and fail to thwart Brainiac, Lana suffers the consequences. As we grapple with this season's direction, perhaps a surprise call with creator Al Gough may provide the answers. We rant, we rave, we even dole out advice. Join us for a legitimately thought-provoking episode! Thank you to our sponsors:

After Actions Reviews are used to recall, process, and de-brief a situation that happened, why it happened, and if it could've been handled better/differently. This process can enable better understanding overall, can help those who experienced the situation, and can help others who may find themselves in similar situations in the furture. On the "Minutemen Initiative" we use the After Actions Review to allow someone to share a life experience that others could learn from. In this "After Actions Review" Jacob and Stephen sit down with Marty Combs (aka Veritas) to discuss a real world home invasion situation that went from likley nothing, to potential threat, to a real and unexpected threat very quickly. Marty recalls this event and shares lessons learned as well as other timless wisdom that many can learn from.

Does it give you pause when you see a photo, video, or story and you wonder "Is this real, or was it created by AI?"Does it even matter anymore whether the art and information we're interacting with was created by human or machine?And, how is classical Christian education - so deeply focused on cultivating well-read, well-written, and well-spoken students - still relevant in a world that is increasingly obsessed with the efficiency that artificial intelligence tools promise?Our host, Veritas Head of School Ty Fischer is joined in this by two guests who are employed in various STEM fields and are in the thick of some of this AI usage - Jack DeWeese, a software developer and Veritas alumnus Zach Spykstra, a mechantronics engineer. They will dive into:How most AI programs actually work (they're not actually intelligent).Thoughts on how (or even if) parents and Christians can use these tools rightly and with discernment.What kind of education will serve the next generation growing up in an AI-fueled world...and how kids can set themselves apart by maintaining their God-given abilities to reason, think, and create freely.Warnings on the use of too much AI.Why (or whether) it matters if humans or a machine created content that we use.This season of Cultivate is sponsored by Hershey Financial Advisers, a wealth management firm located on North Pointe Blvd. in Lancaster, PA, leading people to make better financial decisions and empowering them to fulfill a vision beyond themselves.

Catherine Girard "In violentia veritas" (Grasset)Lorsqu'elle découvre à quatorze ans qu'on la surnomme « la fille de l'assassin », Catherine Girard interroge son père Henri Girard – plus connu sous son nom de plume, Georges Arnaud, auteur notamment du célèbre roman Le Salaire de la peur. L'horreur de ce que le vieil homme lui apprend plonge l'adolescente dans le déni. Un demi-siècle plus tard, dans un geste d'amour, elle se confronte à ce passé abyssal.Le matin du 24 octobre 1941, au château d'Escoire, le père d'Henri Girard, sa tante et leur servante sont retrouvés morts, atrocement massacrés à la serpe. Seul survivant, Henri est inculpé, emprisonné dix-neuf mois dans l'un des cachots les plus insalubres de France et promis à la guillotine. Il est finalement acquitté. L'énigme du triple assassinat d'Escoire, tant de fois revisitée, ne fut jamais élucidée.Dans ce magnifique récit littéraire d'investigation familiale, Catherine Girard nous offre enfin sa vérité et évoque la violence intergénérationnelle avec une puissance et une acuité exceptionnelles.Musique : Etude opus 10 n03 de ChopinHébergé par Ausha.

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Eerik Wissenz. A few weeks ago, I opened my inbox and found something I wasn't expecting. Dozens of PDFs. Legal documents, spreadsheets, letters, and records that Eerik said revealed a system designed to hide corruption on a scale that touches governments, corporations, and the people who trust them. The amount of material was staggering. It felt less like reading a report and more like being dropped into someone's life work. A record of years spent trying to expose what most would prefer to keep buried. Eerik Wissenz is not a newcomer to conflict. He has served as a soldier, built a company, and raised a family. Along the way, he says he uncovered evidence that money laundering is not confined to crime syndicates but has become part of the institutional bloodstream. When he spoke up, the reaction was immediate and personal. Investigations. Courtrooms. Pressure from every direction. He has paid a price that most people can't imagine, yet he continues to push forward because he believes truth is not something you keep for yourself. It's something you owe the world, even when the world doesn't want to hear it. Tonight, we sit down with a man who followed the money, challenged the silence, and refused to stop.

In this episode of Thinking Thoracic, host Dr. Erin Gillaspie talks with Dr. Robert Lentz and Dr. Fabien Maldonado about the groundbreaking VERITAS trial, which is reshaping how clinicians diagnose lung cancer. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the VERITAS trial compared navigational bronchoscopy with CT-guided biopsy in a rigorous, randomized design, bringing much-needed evidence to interventional pulmonology. The discussion explores how the study was conceived, why robust device trials are vital to patient outcomes, and what the findings mean for the future of minimally invasive lung diagnostics.

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Dr. Scott Kolbaba. He is a physician who has spent a lifetime balancing science and mystery. Every day he walks into hospital rooms filled with the hum of machines, the steady rhythm of monitors, and the fragile trust of people who want answers. But medicine, for all its charts and precision, leaves space for what no one can measure. Moments that refuse to be filed away under coincidence. Moments that doctors remember long after the discharge summary fades. Dr. Kolbaba began to notice a quiet pattern among his peers. Stories whispered after meetings, in cafeteria corners, and during long drives home from late-night shifts. Stories that carried weight, and sometimes tears. A surgeon who feels guided to act before the data is clear. A patient who speaks of a scene she could not have seen. A doctor who senses a goodbye before the call ever comes. These were physicians who had seen too much to invent. Men and women who had given their lives to the measurable, yet had been touched by what cannot be graphed. For three years, Dr. Kolbaba listened. He collected their accounts. He studied them with the same care he once gave to x-rays and lab results. And what he found was a record of moments that challenge how we define evidence. Tonight, we enter that space between the known and the felt. We will ask what these events mean for science, for faith, and for the people who live at their intersection. We will consider whether healing sometimes begins before a doctor even enters the room. And we will listen for the quiet proof that lives where medicine meets mystery.

Case 2: "Ashes to Ashes" The Call: A series of spontaneous human combustions have rocked the Ashford Ward, the factory and industrial heart of Newfaire. At first thought accidents, survivors whisper of a phantom made of smoke and flame — and strange ash sigils are found at each site... Welcome to the Circle of Veritas, a Candela Obscura Real Play podcast by the Creative Play and Podcast Network. In the gaslit streets of Newfair, our brave circle of investigators faces ancient horrors, uncovering secrets while battling the supernatural. As they strive to protect the fragile veil of reality, listeners are taken on an atmospheric journey through the shadows that cloak their world.  Our circle navigates talents, relationships, and the eerie mysteries of a supernatural tome to collect gear and build trust. Can they maintain discretion and unity while facing the darkness that watches in waiting? As new alliances form and old tensions fade, the investigators are summoned to the Librum Veritas to unravel secrets hidden in the heart of the Briar Green District. With every roll of the dice and strategic alliance, the line between the familiar and the unknown blurs. Stay vigilant, for in the shadows, ancient truths stir.

Tonight on VERITAS, our special guest is Charles J. Poloka. Charles is not just a researcher or investigator. He says he is a precog. That means he has received visions of events before they occurred. Some of them saved his life. Others warned of major public incidents. In at least one case, he was a key witness in court. His testimony was on the record. But this interview is about more than what he saw. It is about what we are all capable of. We will explore how he receives these visions, what they feel like, and what happens when he acts on them. We will ask him to walk us through the moments where life and death hung in the balance. He believes this ability is not rare. It is natural. And it can be awakened. Charles also brings insight into subjects most never dare to confront. From childhood UFO sightings to night vision skywatching, from the effects of high frequency technologies to firsthand spiritual warfare, his story crosses into hidden territories that are affecting us all. Whether or not you believe in prophecy, visions, or fate, this is a conversation that might change the way you think about your own instincts. Your own signals. Your own warnings.

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Michael Cremo. For decades, Michael Cremo has challenged the foundations of science. Known as the forbidden archeologist, his work has sparked debate, controversy, and fascination. His book Forbidden Archeology questioned the belief that humans have only been present for a short span of time. Now, after years of investigation and discovery, Michael presents his newest research in Extreme Human Antiquity. The book reveals startling evidence of human remains, artifacts, and footprints that reach far beyond accepted timelines. Some cases point not to thousands of years, but to millions and even hundreds of millions. If this evidence is genuine, it changes everything we have been taught about history. Why then is it so little known? Has science ignored it, dismissed it, or even concealed it? Michael Cremo believes much of what we call scientific consensus is shaped by what he calls knowledge filtration. This is the quiet process where discoveries that do not fit the standard picture are pushed aside. His work asks us to reconsider not only where we came from, but how long we have been here. Cremo also draws from the Vedic tradition, blending his research with spiritual insights. What if humanity has always been here? What if consciousness itself is far older than materialist science allows? Tonight, we enter a journey into forbidden discoveries, suppressed evidence, and the possibility that our story is far older than we have ever imagined.
