We explore this strange practice and hear reports o...
31.12 - MU Podcast - The Cycle of UFO Deception
March 29, 2024 11:30 - 1 hourIt seems that every few years, a new announcement is made in the UFO genre, and disclosure is suddenly within reach.

31.08 - MU Podcast - Apparitions of Time
March 01, 2024 13:59 - 1 hourIt is only natural to want to put a strange experience into a category. See a human form materialize in your home? Well, it must be a ghost, right? What about running into a strange glowing cloud and experiencing missing time? It has to be a UFO encounter.

February 03, 2024 06:13 - 1 hourThe UFO topic, already inflamed with controversy, has some suggesting a greater cover-up in progress. We venture into the unusual and contentious beliefs of an obscure cult-like group.

31.02 - MU Podcast - Quantum Holographic Blood Boys
January 19, 2024 14:46 - 1 hourIn a very real sense, the science industry has become less about discovery and more about compliance with the statutory.

On this episode, we discuss the controversial theory of "Wave genetics," which is a theoretical approach to understanding genetic information transfer. It suggests that genetic material can be influenced and manipulated by electromagnetic waves, and that the s...

August 18, 2023 15:55 - 1 hourAs horrifying as the thought is, throughout history and up until very recent times, the risk of being buried alive was far greater than most would want to contemplate.
