So why is he still celebrated in some cultures? The same reason many other figures still remain, the white washing of American history. Today we talk about the real story of Christopher who he really wa...

#24 Nxivm...Path to Enlightenment Or Cult?
September 14, 2020 04:00 - 45 minutes - 83.4 MBThe headlines of NXIVM read like something out of a Dan Brown novel, 'Alleged sex cult under investigation by the FBI', or 'secret sorority branded initials, in weird slave/master ceremony.

June 22, 2020 04:00 - 42 minutes - 77.4 MBMaking a Murderer….but with a woman. Beyond a reasonable doubt… that's what jurors are told when looking at a case, not to decide the defendant is guilty unless it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt. So how does a jury convict a woman for 27 years with no physical evidence proving she committed the crime? No witnesses? No motives? How do they know beyond a reasonable doubt that she is guilty? Because the police built a case before they even started an investigation. From the mo...

A tangled web of spies, double agents, an unsolvable puzzle and a private life no one should have ever known about.
