Our Editor's Take

The Conspirators Podcast is a show about dark episodes in American history. The host of the show goes by Nate Hale. (Nathan Hale was a spy for the US during the Revolutionary War.) Hale is an amateur historian with a preference for the more salacious events of the past.

For every episode, Hale selects a bizarre story from the annals of history. He then summarizes it for the podcast audience. Listeners hear about psychics, changelings, and mysterious disappearances. In "The Curse of The Dragon," Hale regales his audience with the death of Bruce Lee. He was 32 years old and experiencing tremendous success when someone found his body in his apartment. The autopsy determined that he died of a cerebral edema. Rumors of a curse on his family resurfaced when his son, Brandon Lee, died while filming The Crow.

No conspiracy podcast would be complete without an exploration of the Illuminati. They are a secret society that wants to implement a "new world order." Hale shows his listeners that the cabal was once real, and has evidence to support his claim.

In podcast episode "The Miami Ouija Riot," Hale recounts the 1979 riot that broke out at a military school. Students smashed furniture and broke windows. The rioters later claimed that the devil compelled them to act through a Ouija board. Even stranger was the school's owner. Evaristo Marina asked everyone to call him "El General." He seemed to wield uncanny control over his students. Was it mass hysteria or did the devil play a part?

The Conspirators devotes many episodes to alien abductions. Hale posits that the Alaska Triangle is a prime harvesting ground for ETs to capture humans. He also exposes the military base in Dulce, New Mexico. Deep underground, aliens collaborate with the US government to run mysterious tests.

Hale is a historian, so he requires concrete evidence to believe that something is true. He relies on fact to separate truth from rumors. The Conspirators may appeal to people who love to puzzle over enigmas. New episodes drop several times per month.

Ep. 223 - The Matrix

Ep. 223 - The Matrix
Are we living in the Matrix? What is reality? Many scientists, philosophers and mathematicians believe in the simulation theory, the idea that everything you see, hear, touch, smell and feel is all just a computer generated simulation of what you think is real life.  In this episode we explore the evidence and try to figure out if everything is real...isn't.  Hear the story of the tech company executive who died mysteriously and her disturbing final words. Hear the stories about glitches in the matrix, the Mandela Effect, and the mathematical evidence that points to us all being part of some massive computer generated illusion.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theconspiratorspodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0_SAREQYopjrr0CNIrrRrQ Sources:  https://www.simulation-argument.com/https://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...https://www.scientificamerican.com/ar... https://www.wired.com/story/living-in...https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/26/op...https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/n...https://www.discovery.com/science/Dou... https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Simul.... https://www.simulation-argument.com/s...https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/n...https://www.nspirement.com/2022/03/06...https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/...https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article...https://www.space.com/universe-simula... https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/20...https://bigthink.com/thinking/why-the... https://bigthink.com/13-8/simulation-... https://www.wired.com/2014/11/planck-length/ Music: Music: Long Note Three by Kevin MacLeod Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/3993-long-note-three Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Music: Long Note Two by Kevin MacLeod Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/3993-long-note-three Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 213 - The Second Sight

Ep. 213 - The Second Sight
One of the most controversial aspects of law enforcement occur when police investigators use psychics to provide information in solving crimes. Back in 1993, a Montana couple named John and Nancy Bosco were brutally murdered in their bed. Strangely enough, three people involved in the murder claim to have had psychic visions of the crime: the victim's mother, a famous psychic his mother hired, and the murderer himself.  Notes: https://www.ranker.com/list/john-nancy-bosco-true/jodi-smith https://billingsgazette.com/john-and-nancy-bosco/article_1c1fcd64-2dcf-5e33-8fdb-1dc0cf94ce72.html https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/John_and_Nancy_Bosco https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiD09fp5eiAAxWyMn0KHae3CGMQFnoECB8QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.americamagazine.org%2Fissue%2Fculture%2Fultimate-test&usg=AOvVaw2itEN-ocW33ApPGOnEjEcI&opi=89978449 https://www.amazon.com/Choosing-Mercy-Mother-Victims-Penalty/dp/157075358X https://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/12/10/court.psychics/index.html https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R000100280009-3.pdf https://mysteriesofcanada.com/manitoba/clairvoyance-on-the-canadian-frontier/ https://www.rd.com/list/mysteries-solved-by-psychics/ Music: Music: Cryptic Sorrow by Kevin MacLeod Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/3568-cryptic-sorrow Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Music: Lucid Nightmare by Tim Kulig Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8492-lucid-nightmare Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Learn more about your ad choices.
