Conspiracy Cabal

The sh*t that's in your group chat...just a fair bit more fact checked and a lot more explained. Big Pharma. The deep state. The crisis actors. Alien life. Spy agencies and cover ups. Whatever it is, award winning journo Richard Baker and Dr Nick Coatsworth are your guides on the search for the kernel of truth. Conspiracies are everywhere right now. But, we don’t peddle theories, we go to their point of origin and follow the breadcrumbs to sort the bullsh*t from the verified, while keeping an open mind to things that can’t be explained. Rich has spent years exposing the crooked and corrupt, and Nick has copped death threats from people who thought he was one of THEM. They know what real cover-ups look like, and they also know what happens when paranoia meets the algorithm. Sometimes the conspiracy is real. Sometimes it's designed to sell you on something. Often, it's both. Our mission is to entertain and inform. R

  26: This Australian Predicted JFK's Assassination | Canberra Chauffeur

  Aug 18, 202642 minS1

  Thirteen months before Dallas, a phone rang in the U.S. embassy in Canberra. A man claiming to be a Polish chauffeur for the Soviet embassy said Iron Curtain countries had put $100,000 on the president's head. The Americans wrote it up, filed it, and moved on.Then the president was shot. And the same voice called back. This week we dig into one of the strangest footnotes in the declassified JFK files: an anonymous tipster in suburban Canberra who predicted an assassination over a year in advance, then rang the day after it happened to remind everyone he'd been right. Australian intelligence and the CIA spent years trying to run him down — and couldn't. No Polish national ever worked the Soviet motor pool. No plates matched. No name, no face, no paper trail. Just a voice, twice, exactly when it mattered. The first call: October 15, 1962 — a warning about a Soviet-financed hit, filed and nearly forgotten The second call: November 23, 1963 — the same voice, back within a day of the murder, naming Moscow's money The chauffeur problem: why ASIO and the CIA agreed Soviet embassies didn't hire local nationals as drivers — so who was he? The vehicle that wasn't there: a described car and plates that matched no registry, and the claim that Soviet officials kept spare plates on hand to swap on demand Some of this is documented in black and white in the National Archives. Some of it — who this man actually was — may never be known. This week, Rich Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth work through what the files really say, why a minor Cold War tip got flagged all the way to Helms' desk, and what it means that a mystery caller from Canberra got the timing right twice.

  25: Robert F. Kennedy Jr's War on Health | The Nestle Baby Formula Scandal

  Aug 11, 202631 min

  In the 1970s, Nestlé sent representatives into some of the poorest communities in the developing world. They wore white coats. They carried themselves like nurses. And they told new mothers, again and again, that formula was better for their babies than breast milk — knowing that once lactation stopped, that mother was a customer for as long as the baby needed feeding. There was no wreckage to point to, no single smoking document, just a pattern of behavior so consistent that Nestlé's name still hasn't fully recovered, fifty years on. Now the man auditing the food industry's sins is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — an avowed anti-vaxxer who spent decades as a litigant against corporate polluters, somehow now running the U.S. Department of Health under Trump 2.0, and somehow uniting MAGA diehards with the public-health establishment he used to fight. So is "Make America Healthy Again" a genuine reckoning with an industry that's been running the tobacco playbook with better marketing, or one more unlikely coalition that won't survive contact with a Big Mac? - RFK Jr.'s seismic and paradoxical shift: how a man who built his name suing corporations for environmental harm became Secretary of Health, and why food, not vaccines, is the fight that's actually uniting his strangest allies - The Nestlé Baby Formula scandal: the reps dressed as medical professionals, the mothers in developing nations told a lie that suited a business model, and why the damage to Nestlé's name still hasn't fully faded fifty years later - The corporate anatomy of Big Food: the handful of conglomerates — Associated British Foods, Mondelez among them — that control everything from the sugar refinery to the supermarket shelf, and what a $30-billion snack company's own sustainability report reveals when you actually read it - The tobacco and pharma parallel: unconstrained profit motive, monopoly power, no real competition — the exact conditions the hosts have already traced through Big Tobacco and Big Pharma this season, now applied to what's in your pantry - Where "big" stops being neutral: the hosts try to draw the line between ordinary corporate scale and the kind of deliberate deception that turns a company into a conspiracy Some of this is documented fact. Some is where reasonable people land on different sides. And if you want the chapters that set this one up, go back to the tobacco and pharma episodes earlier this season.

  24: Putin's Secret UFO Documents | What is he hiding?

  Aug 4, 202639 min

  Russia has been tracking unidentified aerial phenomena since before the term existed. The Soviet military ran a classified investigation called Program SETKA from 1978 to 1990 - twelve years, thousands of filed reports, senior military personnel as witnesses - and when the USSR collapsed and the files were briefly, partially opened, what came out was strange enough that the Russian government quietly closed them again. That was 1993. Nobody in the western press followed up. And Putin, who knows where every other body is buried, has never once been asked about it on the record. So what does it mean when the country with the second-largest nuclear arsenal and a seventy-year history of UAP investigation has said almost nothing - while the Americans have said just enough to make you stop asking? This week, Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth go through what the evidence actually shows, what's been conveniently overlooked, and what the gap between those two things tells us. Program SETKA: what the Soviet military was actually investigating, the rank of the officers filing reports, and what the partially declassified files described before the archive door closed again in 1993 The Petrozavodsk incident: the 1977 event over a major Russian city witnessed by hundreds of people including police and harbour workers, reported on the front page of Tass, and never officially explained by any government that was asked Putin and the disclosure question: every on-record statement he has made about UAPs, what a former Russian defence minister said publicly in 2012 that would have ended any western official's career, and why neither statement got a follow-up The military overlap: the specific coordinates where Russian UAP sightings cluster, what else is at those coordinates, and whether the phenomenon respects the same boundaries that nuclear infrastructure does on both sides of the iron curtain The coordination problem: what it would mean if Russia and the United States have been aware of the same phenomenon for seventy years and chosen independently to say nothing, and which explanation for that silence is actually more unsettling Some of this is documented. Some is genuinely unknown. And almost none of it is as settled as the people who control the archives want you to believe. Join Rich Baker and Dr Nick Coatsworth as they suss it all out.
