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.

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

    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.

    22:The Gerson Diet | Curing Cancer with Coffee Enemas

    Every morning at the Gerson clinic in Tijuana, patients wake up and drink juice. Then they drink more juice. Then they have a coffee enema. Then more juice. Thirteen glasses before dinner, every day, for weeks - at a cost that runs to thirty thousand dollars a month. The people doing it are not gullible. He also prescribed coffee enemas and carrot juice to cancer patients, charged them a significant amount of money, and kept his own records in a way that made independent verification essentially impossible. Both of those things are true, and the wellness industry has spent seventy years making sure you only hear about one of them. So what does it mean when a protocol this easy to debunk has this many true believers — and some of them have the scans to back it up? 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. The Albert Schweitzer problem: why the most credentialled endorsement in alternative medicine history doesn't actually say what people think it says, and what Schweitzer was and wasn't claiming when he called Gerson a geniusThe biology of the protocol: what the sodium-potassium hypothesis actually proposes, where it intersects with legitimate cellular research, and where it quietly stops making sense before the brochure noticesSurvivorship bias and the testimonial economy: why every alternative cancer clinic in the world has a wall of thank-you letters, what that data looks like when an epidemiologist runs it, and why the people who didn't get better aren't at the reunionThe peer review gap: why Gerson's results have never been independently replicated, what it would actually take to run a clean trial, and whether the absence of evidence here is as suspicious as the true believers insistCoffee enemas and the detox myth: what the liver actually does, what "detoxification" means in a clinical versus a marketing context, and why the same word is doing very different work depending on who's using it Some of this is documented. Some is genuinely unknown. And almost none of it is as settled as the people selling the protocol want you to believe. Join Rich Baker and Dr Nick Coatsworth as they suss it all out.

    21: The World Cup Cartel Murder | Australia's FIFA Dealings

    The murder of Andres Escobar rocked Colombia. Plus, did Australia try to bribe their way to a world cup? In 1994, Colombia entered the World Cup tipped as one of the favorites to win it all. But after a shocking own-goal by beloved defender Andrés Escobar led to their early exit, the national tragedy turned fatal. Just days after returning home to Medellín, Andrés was gunned down in a nightclub parking lot. It remains one of the darkest and most scrutinized moments in sporting history, exposing a terrifying intersection of athletic passion, high-stakes gambling, and cartel violence. This week, Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth examine the tragic death of the "Gentleman of Soccer" to separate urban legend from the grim reality of 1990s Colombia, exploring how a simple game became a matter of life and death. The rise of "Narco-Football": How the billions of drug kingpins like Pablo Escobar (no relation to Andrés) bankrolled Colombian football, transformed local clubs into international powerhouses, and deeply entangled the sport with organized crime.The fateful mistake: The high-pressure environment of the 1994 World Cup in the US, the chilling death threats sent to the team's hotel rooms, and the split-second own-goal against the United States that sealed Colombia’s elimination.The murder and the betting syndicates: The night of July 2, 1994, the confrontation outside a Medellín nightclub with figures linked to drug trafficking, and the persistent theory that Andrés was executed because his mistake cost powerful cartel gamblers millions.Why it matters: How the tragedy decimated Colombian football, the chaos that gripped Medellín after the fall of Pablo Escobar, and what the tragedy reveals about the dangerous vulnerability of sports when criminal enterprises take control. Some aspects of the tragedy have been verified by criminal investigations, while other details- including who ultimately ordered the hit- remain shrouded in cartel secrecy and decades of speculation. Throughout this episode, we distinguish between established historical facts, credible theories, and the myths that still surround the tragedy. Contact the show at conspiracycabal@outlook.com.
