    Allan Sturm | The Return of the Exoarchaeologist: Someone Was on the Moon Before Us | Part 1 of 2

    In 2008, the same year this program was born, a graphic designer published a strange and beautiful book. He had set out to collect forgotten photographs from the Apollo missions, and somewhere in the grain of those images he found something he was not looking for. Shapes that seemed built. Towers. Spheres stacked upon spheres. Something he would only ever call the Temple of the Moon. In 2009, he sat for one of the very first interviews I ever recorded on this show. And then he was gone. For 17 years he disappeared from my map entirely, into the quiet, into the work. Tonight, he comes back. But he returns changed. Somewhere in those silent years, Sturm went back through his own book and did something almost no one in this field has the courage to do. He admitted that a great deal of what he once saw was never there at all. He let the weak evidence die. And what he found waiting underneath, after the sharper scans and the harder questions, is what he has come to show us tonight. For those of you watching the video, you will see it with your own eyes. He will open the photographs and walk you through them the way he sees them. The geometry that hides in plain sight. The one frame he has never once been able to explain away. We will travel back to deep time, to a Moon that may have been a destination long before we were anything at all. We will sit with the strange night a remote viewer looked at his work and described an ancient, abandoned mine. And we will ask what it would mean for all of us, down here, if we are not the first hands to ever shape that surface. He is not asking you to believe him. He is asking you to look again.

    Bill Foss | Inside the Akashic Records: The Library That Remembers Every Life You Have Ever Lived | Part 1 of 2

    Imagine a library that sits outside of time. Every life you have ever lived is written down in a book with your name on it. Every thought. Every choice. Every soul you have ever crossed paths with. For more than 25 years our guest has been walking into that library. He calls it the Akashic Records. 11 books. Students on three continents. Sessions he says reach through trauma, through past lives, and into something he calls the Universal Mirror. Foss is a visionary artist and a healer who works directly with the Ascended Masters and the Archangels. He teaches that you carry two genetic codes. One earthly and one not. That your nervous system is an antenna. That your heart is the reception point. And that the book of your life can be rewritten while you are still in it. Tonight we ask the hard questions. If the Records exist, who built them. Who appointed the Keepers, and what were they before. If your Book of Life can be changed, who holds the pen. And why have so many of us forgotten how to listen to a stream that has never stopped running. We will press him on off-world lifetimes. On ancestral healing through DNA. On parallel timelines. On the Quantum Timeline Healing he says rewrites the past from the present. And on a rival senior reader, trained by an Orthodox Kabbalist, who teaches the opposite of everything he stands for on the question of Free Will. Bring your skepticism. Bring your wonder. Both will be tested tonight.

    Barry Markovsky, Ph.D. | The Scientist Who Investigated His Own Paranormal Life | Part 1 of 2

    You have seen scientists debunk the paranormal before. You have seen the condescending eyebrow, the impatient sigh, the eye roll. Barry Markovsky is not that scientist. He is the scientist who as a twelve-year-old boy lay on his back in the backyard of a Boston suburb, stared up at a moonless sky, and watched a point of light slow to a dead stop and reverse direction. He is the scientist who once woke from a dream about an earthquake, went to work at Stanford, and then felt the building shake beneath him an hour later. He is the scientist who walked into a haunted vape shop in South Carolina with a notebook, and walked out genuinely unsure whether the man he investigated was a liar or a true believer. He is the scientist who dated a naturopath and had to decide whether to tell her the truth about homeopathy. He is the scientist who spent years trying to pry a data set out of Transcendental Meditation researchers who kept inventing new reasons why he could never see it. Dr. Barry Markovsky earned his Ph.D. from Stanford, spent decades on the faculties of the University of Iowa and the University of South Carolina, and served as director of the Sociology Program at the National Science Foundation. But his new book, Everyday Extraordinary, is not a faculty report. It is eighteen true stories from his own life, each one beginning with the raw moment of strangeness exactly as he experienced it, and then peeling it back. Not to ridicule. Not to dismiss. But to understand. He has a name for the move that changes everything. He calls it the fourth response. When something inexplicable happens, most people move through three reactions in sequence. First, uncertainty. Then they look outward. Then they look inward. And then they stop. The fourth response is the one almost nobody takes. I wonder if I can make this happen again. That single question, applied to a lifetime of genuinely bizarre personal experiences, is what produced this book. Tonight we are going to cover all of it. UFOs. Ghosts. ESP. Intercessory prayer tested on eighteen hundred heart patients. A Transcendental Meditation study that claimed to reduce casualties in the Lebanon War using collective meditation, and the years-long battle to get the data behind that claim. Conspiracy theories. Alternative medicine. Havana Syndrome. Astrology. Numerology. Psychics. And the deepest question of all: what does a man who has spent his entire career studying how beliefs form actually believe himself, in the places he cannot prove?

    Shawn Barry Farewell | He Died, Came Back, and Saw What Was Waiting | Part 1 of 2

    Tonight on Veritas our special guest is Shawn Barry Farewell. And I want you to stay with me for the next two minutes because what I am about to tell you defies almost every category we normally use to make sense of the world. Shawn Barry Farewell is not a mystic. He is not a preacher. He is a man who was born in 1964 in Canada who spent his entire life walking directly toward things most people spend their entire lives running from. At five years old he nearly died of an asthma attack. At ten, a car hit him. The driver, shaking and weeping at his father's door that same afternoon, told his father something that would never fully leave the family. He said: "I saw your son go through my car." In 1994 Shawn was thirty years old and dying. Terminal lymphoma. Nine months of chemotherapy. His doctors told him playing hockey would kill him. He played four nights a week anyway. And then one night, three orbs of light came for him. He floated above his body. He looked down and saw himself lying next to his fiancée. The pain was gone. Everything was gone except this total overwhelming sense of love and belonging and a voice that told him it was not yet his time. He came back. And when the surgeons cut him open for what should have been a fifteen-minute biopsy, they found something no surgeon had ever documented in medical literature. They spent six hours inside him. His cancer did not return. One year later, 20% of scar tissue that surgeons had deliberately left in his lung because it was too dangerous to remove was simply gone. That is only the first half of this story. In 2011, Shawn posted a photograph on Facebook of a haunted house he had lived in during the late 1980s in Montreal. Within four hours, clairvoyants from around the world were warning him the photograph contained visible evil spirits in the windows. One of them was right about exactly which window to look at. A woman named Carolyn contacted him. She told him his deceased father was at the fishing hole and that the people Shawn had privately arranged to meet his father on the other side had come. Shawn had never told that to a single living person. What followed was a confrontation with a dark entity that had held souls captive for decades, a spiritual gateway in his own basement captured on video, a miscarried daughter who answered when his wife called out to her, and a face Shawn saw on a screen during a Skype session that his friend confirmed was God. This is a man who has been told no by the other side three times. A man whose medical records contain things his doctors could not explain. A man who spent fifteen years writing it all down, not because he wanted to be believed, but because he believes the souls still waiting in the dark deserve a witness.

    James Arrowood | The Ship to the Future: Inside Alcor and the Billion-Dollar Battle for Immortality | Part 1 of 2

    In a quiet building in Scottsdale, Arizona, there is a room most people will never see. Inside that room, 263 human beings stand in carefully arranged steel vessels. Some died last week. Some died in the 1980s. One was born in the 1880s. They are not buried. They are not cremated. They are waiting. The man who walks through that room every day is our guest tonight. He is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, the oldest continuously operating cryonics institution on earth. Arrowood is a Notre Dame-trained attorney who walked away from one of the most lucrative tracks in American law to lead a nonprofit research foundation whose ultimate goal is to one day restore the dead to life. Tonight he will tell us things he rarely discusses in public. He will explain why roughly 10 percent of the world's 50 wealthiest human beings have already made arrangements to be preserved at Alcor, and why almost none of them will say so on the record. He will describe the DART team, a unit of Navy SEALs, Special Operations veterans, fire captains, ICU nurses, and paramedics trained to recover members anywhere in the world within hours of legal death. He will walk us through a financial reality the public has never been told, and a model he believes will rewrite medicine within our lifetimes. Kidney preservation first. Multi-organ banking next. And eventually, the restoration of a human brain. He will explain a redefinition of death itself. The argument that death is not the stopping of the heart, but the destruction of the information that makes us who we are. And he will answer the question almost no one in his field will answer in public. When he stands alone in that room after hours, surrounded by people who entrusted everything they ever were to a future none of them will see, what does he actually believe is inside those vessels? This is a conversation about science, law, money, identity, and the most ambitious experiment in the history of biology.

    Michael J.S. Carter | When God Had a Spaceship: The Minister, the Reptilian, and the Truth Inside the Bible | Part 1 of 2

    There is a question at the center of Western civilization that no institution wants to answer directly. It is not a new question. It is hiding in plain sight, in the oldest text most of us were handed as children. If God created the universe, and the universe is vast beyond any reckoning, then what exactly was happening in Genesis when the text says "let us make man in our image?" Not me. Not I. Us. That one word has haunted theology for centuries. And tonight's guest has spent decades arguing that the answer is not metaphor. It is not poetry. It is contact. Rev. Michael J.S. Carter is an ordained Interfaith Minister, a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary, a Board Certified hospital chaplain, and a UFO experiencer who has been having contact encounters for approximately 35 years. He is also a Reiki Master, a counselor to other experiencers, a longtime consultant on The History Channel's Ancient Aliens, and the author of five books, the most foundational of which is Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible. That book argues, with theological rigor and personal testimony, that the Bible was never a document about the supernatural. It is a document about contact. That Elohim is a plural noun for a reason. That the Nephilim, the beings who descended from the sky and bred with human women, were not metaphor. That Ezekiel did not see God. He saw a craft. That Elijah did not ascend to heaven in a whirlwind. He was taken. Whitley Strieber, the author of Communion, called it the best book ever written on the topic. Rev. Carter grew up in a Black church tradition in Baltimore, trained as an actor in New York City, earned a graduate degree from one of the most demanding seminaries in the country, and then encountered beings he could not explain. Orbs of light. Grey aliens in his bedroom while his wife slept undisturbed. And a reptilian entity that physically held him down, looked him in the eye, and told him he would be rich and famous. He is also one of six people who appeared in Steven Spielberg's documentary Abduction Diaries, the production that became the blueprint for Spielberg's HBO series Taken. Tonight, we are going to pull the thread that runs from Genesis to the grey aliens in his bedroom. We are going to ask whether the most sacred books in human history have been hiding a contact record in their pages all along. We are going to ask what a reptilian being with an agenda wants from a minister from Baltimore. And we are going to ask what God actually is, once you remove everything you thought you knew about the word.

    Kristan T. Harris | Sons of Nimrod: The Babylonian Cult That Still Rules the Modern World | Part 1 of 2

    There is a word for arranging letters in the right order to give them meaning. It is called spelling. There is a word for stitching those letters together into one flowing line. It is called cursive. A spell. A curse. And before tonight is over, you will understand why the man we are about to introduce believes the architecture of modern language, modern religion, and modern power is a deliberate piece of magic cast at the human soul. Kristan T. Harris was raised in an Assemblies of God household in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A Christian punk rocker who once wanted to be a youth pastor. He walked away from the certainties of his childhood and spent the next 20 years asking the question they begged him not to ask. What if the version of history we were handed at the door was never the real one. Tonight he walks us through it. The cult of Mystery Babylon and the king Nimrod whose mother wife Semiramis still weeps for Tammuz under every Christmas tree. The synagogue of Satan that, in his words, runs the world from above every flag. The Maxwell witness testimonies he pulled out of a sealed courtroom and put into the public record. The MK Ultra survivors he has interviewed by name. The 300 FBI files he personally unsealed on the killing of William Cooper. CERN. Charlie Kirk. Clonaid and Eve, the first human clone, born in 2001. The data centers rising right now on the lakes of Wisconsin to feed a machine you will never see. And then he walks us into the bones. Over a thousand newspaper accounts of giant human skeletons pulled out of American soil, by his own hands, from the Library of Congress archive. The Smithsonian named again and again as the recipient of the remains. And the remains, every single time, vanishing into a silence no one has ever broken. Harris is the co-founder and host of The Rundown Live. Barry Cooper called him the king of underground journalism. His raw footage from Kenosha helped exonerate Kyle Rittenhouse. And when he is asked tonight for the single sentence that defines his entire career, he looks straight into the camera and says question everything, listen to everyone, and do not believe unless you can prove it with your own two hands.

    Joseph P. Anthony | What Happens After Disclosure: An Astrological Reading of 2026 | Part 1 of 2

    We are sitting down on the day Pluto stations retrograde at five degrees Aquarius. The first time that has happened, in this sign, in nearly 250 years. The month bookended by two Full Moons. A Blue Moon at the end of it. If the heavens are a clock, tonight is a chime the country has never heard before. A pastor in the United States recently came forward with a testimony that has rattled the disclosure community. He was brought into a meeting at an undisclosed location in Tennessee. Phones on airplane mode. No recordings of any kind. The men in the room were working inside, or investigating, the United States intelligence agencies. And the message from every one of them was the same. Disclosure is coming. And most of the country is not ready for what comes after. Within the same week, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and the Secretary of War all made public statements about UAPs. Trump issued an executive directive to declassify the files. The convergence was not a coincidence. Anthony has been a professional psychic and astrologer for more than 25 years, reading for athletes, celebrities, and corporate executives who do not put their names on guest lists. He sees the events of 2026 not as random, but as a sentence the heavens started writing long before any of us were paying attention. Tonight he is going to read what comes after the announcement. The propaganda campaign already in motion. The two factions inside the United States government, one calling these beings benevolent, the other openly Luciferian. The interdimensional framing the church has not yet learned how to teach. The great falling away that intelligence figures are quietly bracing for. And the question almost no one in this conversation is willing to ask. Who is choosing the moment of disclosure. Is it the entities themselves. Is it the men in that briefing in Tennessee. Or is it something else, working through both of them, that has been waiting for this exact alignment for a very long time.
