    Fan Mail from the United Front Work Department: Hello Harbin

    CC gets a love letter at 3am from a lady named Jenny Chan who runs a nonprofit called Pacific Atrocities Education out of San Francisco. Jenny used an AI bot to write a fan email to an unlisted email address she shouldn’t have, about a show she’s never listened to, name-dropping a man with two first names who spent his whole career apologizing for his dad planting the American flag on Iwo Jima. Jenny wants to come on the show to talk about comfort women from 1943. CC said sure.This episode: CC reads Jenny’s email out loud and it does not survive the reading. James Bradley gets roasted for turning his father’s flag into a white one. CC does a speed round on the three Chinese atrocities happening RIGHT NOW that Jenny’s org doesn’t cover — the Uyghur genocide, forced organ harvesting from living prisoners, and seventy years of Tibetan cultural erasure. Chi Haotian’s secret speech on using biological weapons to “clean up” America gets read on air. The Putin-Xi hot mic clip from the WWII anniversary parade where they casually discuss organ transplant immortality while Kim Jong Un grins like an idiot plays in full. CC connects the Ansoft-Ansys-Synopsys $35 billion acquisition chain to Professor Fu’s 2001 honeytrap website to OSU’s Human Digital Twin Consortium to a Zhejiang University researcher building digital replicas of human lungs on the same campus holding 12,000 families’ biological data under Navy oversight. The open records request filed February 23 (number 26-100) remains unanswered. Chinese listenership went from 0.2% to 15% three days after 26-100 request was submitted. Then Jenny emailed.Features “Censorship is Whack” by Crystal Clear, a song written in 2023 about a woman who wouldn’t show up for 3 more years.Remembrance of evil is chiefly to prevent its recurrence. And it’s recurring. RIGHT NOW.Jenny you’re still welcome on the show. Lots of fans in Harbin. Have a grateful day.

    Mick West and Luis Elizondo: NOTHING TO SEE HERE

    Luis Elizondo, former director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP, 2008-2012), sat down with Mick West — who spent those exact same years running Morgellons Watch, a website dedicated to dismissing a contested dermatological condition. In his book Imminent, Elizondo casually states that implants recovered from military and intelligence personnel after UAP encounters were “identical to Morgellons fibers.” West, who built a decade-long platform on debunking Morgellons, never asks about it. Not once. Neither has Joe Rogan or any other interviewer.This episode covers: AATIP’s overlap with DARPA-funded biosensor and brain-computer interface research (2008-2012), the Department of Defense’s investment in implantable micro-electrode arrays and biophysical sensors during that period, the launch of the BRAIN Initiative in 2013 (where Michelle Pearson the CDC study lead investigator is now chief of staff), Elizondo’s counterintelligence background, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui’s 1999 book Unrestricted Warfare, Weinong Fu at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and the question nobody in the UAP disclosure space will touch.More Morgellons. 18 seasons. moremorgellons.com

    The Loneliest Community on Earth

    In this episode, Crystal gets distracted from the investigation to nerd out about a dead Italian neuroscientist whose name she cannot pronounce, explains why your brain is basically running malware that makes you afraid of the one thing that could help you, overshares about her b******e, makes a case for why the craziest sounding people in this community deserve a microphone just as much as the credible ones, references Jesus and Allen Dulles in the same train of thought then cuts it not because it sounds too crazy but because she ran out of tape, same reason she butchers a famous Arthur C. Clarke quote ya’ll will never hear, plays distracting background piano because low production quality is a tradition on MM, and then has the F-ing audacity to ask you to reach out when she already admitted she won’t respond for weeks. Also something about worms and the return of Christ. Standard Tuesday. If that is what day this really is. If you’re lonely and this is hard and everyone thinks you’re nuts: moremorgellons.com. Go leave a message. She’ll get back to you. Eventually. Probably. Also, lovingly but getting almost a little annoyed at this point: Put the tweezers down.

    Before the MRF: Prof Fu Wei-Nong and the Shanghai Cases

    Crystal is taking you all the way back. Before the foundation, before the name, before the RadioShack microscope origin story that never made sense anyway. Back to May 2001 — a home ISP page, a plea from a man named Wei-Nong Fu in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, asking the internet for help with his wife’s mystery illness. Sounds desperate. Sounds innocent. Except Fu is an electromagnetic field simulation engineer at ANSOFT Corporation, the company whose software models how EM fields behave inside complex structures. Including, theoretically, biological ones. Nowadays, he just happens to be an expert in implantable biosensors, back in China working as a professor. But in 2001, he recommends a specific microscope — the Bradford BVPM — to diagnose what he says is an unknown pathogen. That microscope was built by Robert W. Bradford, a man with no science degree who was later convicted of conspiracy, mail fraud, and whose unregulated drugs literally killed a patient. Bradford manufactured a Lyme epidemic to sell his product. His microscope is the diagnostic foundation of the earliest documented cases. And Fu’s Shanghai case studies? Linked on the Morgellons Research Foundation website within weeks of its registration. The Shanghai Cases weren’t discovered by the stay at home mom who ran the MRF. They were baked into the infrastructure at launch.We trace the geographic cluster — Canonsburg, Pennsylvania (population: about 9,000, also home to ANSYS, the company that acquired ANSOFT for $832 million), Bethel Park right next door, the MRF registered in the same tiny corridor. We look at Mary Lato’s actual records versus the origin story. No licensure. No employment history. Research-grade fluorescence micrographs on the website that were absolutely not produced by a toy radioshack microscope. A domain registrant whose initials match a young man living in her household. A national letter-writing campaign that reached Obama, McCain, Clinton, and Feinstein — coordinated by a woman with no verifiable professional background. Three founding couples, none seemingly sharing a last name, in a condition where the statistical reality is that men leave at seven times the normal rate when women get seriously ill. Three for three devoted husbands isn’t a love story. It’s a casting pattern.We also talk about what this means for you — right now, today. Crystal Clear makes the case that this has never behaved like a disease and the path forward isn’t medical, it’s political. The CDC found silica, polyethylene glycol, and cellulose together in samples and called them contaminants without further study. Contaminants or components — that question remains open. Havana Syndrome got the same playbook the morgies got: deny, diagnose delusions, dismiss. If they wouldn’t protect their own CIA officers, they’re not coming for us voluntarily. But pressure works. It always has. Ask Upton Sinclair. Ask the rats no longer ground up in your hamburger.Speaking of pressure — Oklahoma State University received the MRF’s assets when it dissolved, including possibly a patient registry of approximately 12,000 self-reports. Crystal Clear filed an open records request 31 days ago. OSU has not responded. The portal won’t even publish the request. If you’d like to know what happened to your data — data you submitted, about your body, your experience — you might consider asking. Politely. Persistently. Because twenty years and two posters is not an answer.New episodes drop regularly. Share the show. Tell someone. We’re not done pushing.

  5. Debunking the Debunker: Mick West, Morgellons Watch, and Twenty Years of Unanswered Questions

    Debunking the Debunker: Mick West, Morgellons Watch, and Twenty Years of Unanswered Questions

    Mick West co-founded Neversoft Entertainment, programmed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, retired from Activision in 2003, and then did something nobody has ever forensically examined: he built Morgellons Watch, a website dedicated to convincing the public that Morgellons disease is a delusion. He wrote over 100 articles under the pseudonym “Michael.” He edited the Wikipedia Morgellons article under a second pseudonym, “Herd of Swine,” while lobbying for his own site to be cited as a credible independent source. His Wikipedia account was flagged for sockpuppetry. The site accumulated roughly 12,000 comments from 88 registered users — an average engagement rate of 20+ comments per user — on a condition mainstream medicine had already dismissed. The site is still live in 2026. West says he lost interest around 2012. This episode applies the same forensic standards to the counter-narrative that Uninvestigated has applied to the Morgellons Research Foundation. If the MRF’s IRS 990 filings, defense-connected board members, indicted grant recipient, and vanished 12,000-family patient registry warranted investigation, then the debunking apparatus that ran in parallel deserves identical scrutiny. Crystal examines the cost-benefit problem: why a financially independent retired programmer with no medical or scientific training sustained a complex content operation for years on a single niche medical condition. She maps the pseudonym architecture: “Michael” on Morgellons Watch, “Herd of Swine” on Wikipedia, Mick West everywhere else — three identities, three platforms, one narrative project. She traces the timeline convergence: Morgellons Watch launched in April 2006, the exact month Congressional pressure toward a CDC investigation reached critical mass. And she identifies the open forensic threads that have never been pursued: historical WHOIS domain registration records for morgellonswatch.com, cross-domain registrant comparison with contrailscience.com and metabunk.org, IP address hosting history, and Wikipedia edit pattern analysis. The episode also explores a remarkable synchronicity. West chose “Herd of Swine” from Mark 5 — the Gadarene demoniac narrative, where unclean spirits called “Legion” are cast into pigs that rush into the sea. Years later, independently and without knowledge of West’s username, Crystal drew a parallel between the Gadarene story and the Morgellons patient experience: the afflicted person dismissed as mad, the community that prefers chains to healing, the testimony nobody wants to hear. West named himself after the destruction vehicle. Crystal found the story from the testimony side. Same scripture. Opposite characters. The episode closes with the 12,000 mirror: 12,000 families entered the MRF registry hoping their data would drive research. That registry was destroyed without public disclosure when the foundation dissolved in 2012. 12,000 comments accumulated on Morgellons Watch, a site engineered to ensure that anyone Googling their symptoms found dismissal before they found help. One apparatus collected testimony. The other buried it. Neither has been audited. Open investigative threads: WHOIS forensics on morgellonswatch.com domain registration and hosting history. Wayback Machine timeline analysis. Cross-domain infrastructure comparison. Wikipedia edit history audit for User:Herd of Swine. Comment metadata analysis including timestamp patterns and user registration clustering. Financial trail from Neversoft/Activision exit through Committee for Skeptical Inquiry fellowship. West built Morgellons Watch. Crystal built Westwatch. Somebody had to.

    Targeted Americans and the Most Anomalous Health Incident of all: /\/\orge||0ns

    Well folks, 60 Minutes just confirmed that a classified U.S. intelligence mission recovered an actual directed-energy weapon — concealable, portable, silent, programmable, remote-operated, penetrates walls — and they tested it on animals in a military lab for over a year. It does what the victims said it does. So that’s fun. Remember when these diplomats and spies with top-secret clearances and zero psychiatric history were told they were delusional? The FBI’s early assessment was “mass hysteria.” The 2023 intelligence community report — still officially standing — says it’s “very unlikely” a foreign adversary was responsible. There is now a weapon in a lab that says otherwise. Whoopsie. A former CIA officer in the Anomalous Health Incidents unit — speaking publicly for the first time — describes being told the goal was to prove it was psychosomatic and environmental. He watched a senior AHI officer mock victims by simulating a stroke at a unit happy hour. That’s your tax dollars funding workplace comedy about brain injuries. Incredible. Now here’s where it gets interesting for us. MKUltra didn’t pick subjects randomly. CIA started with their own people — hi Frank Olson — then military subjects at Edgewood Arsenal, then systematically pivoted to populations whose testimony would be automatically discredited. Psychiatric patients. Prisoners. Addicts at the Lexington Narcotic Farm. Sex workers at Operation Midnight Climax. The selection logic wasn’t random. It was about deniability. Map that onto our population. Four hundred episodes of testimony. People institutionalized as adolescents. Boarding school kids. People flagged through giftedness testing — programs that sometimes trace back to federal or military funding pipelines. Musicians — internationally traveling, high sensory sensitivity, unusual venue-exposure profiles. Joni Mitchell talked about this and got demolished. Charles Holman, musician, MRF-connected, dead. Roy Houchin, musician, MRF board. Barbara Mandrell, musician. That’s not random. That’s a selection signature. And “delusional parasitosis” does to this population exactly what “delusional” did to those intelligence officers. It’s both the effect and the cover. Self-sealing. The CDC’s 2012 Kaiser Permanente study did the same thing as the 2023 intelligence assessment: produce an official finding, foreclose inquiry, move on. Same playbook, different decade, different agency. Now — the archive we’ve built here is the only dataset that isn’t compromised or locked in a university vault. Speaking of which: Oklahoma State University, the MRF patient registry of 12,000 families is still missing. Open records request 26-100, filed February 23rd. No substantive response. If you donated data, money, or samples to the Morgellons Research Foundation or Randy Wymore at OSU, maybe give them a call. And speaking of foreign actors — next episode we’re opening the Shanghai thread. Early Wayback captures of morgellons.org linked to a personal site documenting roughly ten cases in Shanghai, built by the husband of a woman with initials H.L. He worked at Ansoft Corporation — a Pittsburgh electromagnetic field simulation software company with offices in China — and used his Ansoft work email. They reportedly funded research at Fudan University into her case. Pittsburgh to Shanghai to Fudan. We’re going to verify every piece of it transparently. The government closed their investigation. We didn’t. Stay tuned.

    The MRF Ghosts of Coast to Coast

    On today's show: A Correction: cat hair was found in diabetes drugs, not vaccines. Novo Nordisk’s $16.5 billion acquisition Catalent — FDA contamination at the Indiana facility.Your host Crystal is a former clinical trials manager who read a Form 990 recreationally, and it ruined her life. Today we’re doing a forensic accounting of nothing.THE MORGELLONS RESEARCH FOUNDATION IRS FILINGSThe Morgellons Research Foundation (MRF), "founded" by Mary Leitao, filed IRS Form 990 returns showing zero program service expenses. Not low. Zero.2004 Form 990: $318 in contributions. $0 expenses.2005 Form 990: $0 program expenses.2006 Form 990: Missing. This is the peak year — national TV, maximum donations, phones ringing. That return has never been located. Revenue reported retroactively: ~$29,000.MRF’s sole named grant recipient was Thornton/Thorstensen Labs. Operator Michael Carlson was later indicted on 51 counts of falsifying test results. The lab was already decertified by the time the grant was granted. The MRF patient registry — real people, real names — has never been accounted for. No response to date from 2.23.26 open records request to OHSU.THE DOMAINmorgellons.org was registered March 14, 2002 by dkornsin@hotmail.com — not Mary Leitao, not any board member. That registrant possibly links to 2345.com, Chinese software infrastructure. Earliest site capture (June 5, 2002) lists a California fax number, contact morgellons@aol.com, and web designer Amy DiFerrari.DOUGLAS EWING BUCKNER SR —Fake DOCTORDouglas Buckner is listed as Vice President of the MRF board and identified as “Dr. Douglas Buckner PhD” on federal tax documents, in the Washington Post Magazine, and on Coast to Coast AM (February 2005). He is not a doctor. No MD. No PhD. No dissertation, residency, license, or verifiable work history. Born July 1946, Tennessee. Lived in Waycross, Georgia 35 years. Now on his father’s land in Montgomery County, Tennessee. Bankruptcy filing, tax lien on record. His wife Janelle Fossen is the MRF board secretary. Two board seats, one household.On the 2005 Coast to Coast broadcast, host George Noory calls him a physician and Doctor repeatedly. Buckner never corrects him. He describes Morgellons symptoms accurately but frames the fibers as visually bizarre. They’re not — they look like common textile fibers. The actual anomaly is fibers embedded under intact skin and emerging from wounds. The paranormal framing is intentionally discrediting perhaps, guilty as charged. KENNETH COWLES — DIED IN HIS SLEEP AT 53Kenneth Cowles served as MRF Director of PR and Media, unpaid. Day job: production assistant on Guiding Light. He says he found Morgellons by sending a mass email looking for a story and hearing back from a woman in Tacoma, Washington. Didn’t believe her at first. Eventually did. That led him to Mary Leitao.From a soap opera set, Cowles placed Morgellons on KTVU Fox San Francisco, stations in Reno and Houston, and in 2006 on ABC News prime time and NBC. Correction: the rumored $10,000 plane ticket to Tulsa and $2,000 phone bill were Kenneth Cowles, not Dale Cowler.Kenneth Cowles died October 2007, age 53. “Peacefully in his sleep,” per Mary Leitao. Forty-eight days after Charles E. Holman, former MRF chairman, died at 54. Holman had asked Mary for access to the financial statements and was refused. Mary’s husband Edward Leitao died at 54 of cardiac arrest months before she incorporated the MRF. Three men connected to this foundation. All dead in their 50s. Nobody wrote about it.MRF BOARD: William T. Harvey (chairman, NASA), Mary Leitao (founder), Douglas Buckner (VP, not a doctor), Dale Cowler (CPA/treasurer), Janelle Fossen (secretary, Buckner’s wife), Kenneth Cowles (PR, deceased), Charles E. Holman (former chair, deceased).OSU open records request 26-100 filed February 23, 2026 — no response.

    In this episode, Crystal Clear responds to the most recent major English-language feature article on Morgellons disease — “For a Rare Disorder, Is Language Complicating Care?” published February 24, 2026, by Undark. Crystal summons her inner Karen and things get ridiculous. The new Morgellons article proposes that renaming delusional parasitosis could improve patient compliance with antipsychotic treatment. The problem: there has never been a single randomized controlled trial evaluating any treatment for Morgellons. Not antipsychotics. Not antibiotics. Not anything. We break down what the article gets wrong, what it deliberately omits, and why linguistic rebranding is not a substitute for science. Plus: a new morgie message from a listener in Milwaukee. Links for the article and to leave a message for the show: Undark article: https://undark.org/2026/02/24/morgellons-language-complicating-care/ More Morgellons: https://moremorgellons.com “P.s. no matter what daddy google tells you, this isn’t a lyme disease podcast and never has been.”-CC
