The Illuminati - the infamous conspiratorial obsession - wasn't always that way. It was the work of one man that brought the illuminati from obscure to omnipresent - John Todd. In the 1970s, Todd burst into the public eye with tales of secret societies and dark rituals, claiming to be an ex-witch linked to human sacrifices among the elite. But as his tales spread and followers grew, his web of secrets unraveled, and ultimately - he vanished. 'Cover Up: The Conspiracy Tapes' exposes the twisted hidden story of a man whose myths influenced some of the most notorious events in recent history.

SEASON 4: The Anthrax Threat In the wake of 9/11, a series of letters laced with a deadly powder called anthrax appeared on the desks of prominent journalists and politicians in New York City and Washington D.C. Five people were killed, and seventeen more were infected. It was the worst case of bioterrorism in American history, setting off a surge of finger pointing, xenophobia, and fear. But what started as an unprecedented case soon turned into an unsettling mystery. Who had sent these letters? And why? On season 4 of Cover Up, we trace the FBI’s costly investigation into the attacks, which was stacked with a seemingly endless series of false leads, damaging leaks, and embarrassing blunders. Through revealing interviews with victims, agents, and suspects, we unpack the case in its messy entirety, all with an eye toward the question that remains today: Did the FBI identify the true killer, or is this case still unresolved? From Campside Media and Sony Music Entertainment, this is Season 4 of Cover Up: The Anthrax Threat. SEASON 3: Body Brokers For eight years, Megan Hess ran Sunset Mesa Funeral Home in the small town of Montrose, Colorado. She promised clients discounts on normally expensive cremations, a seeming kindness in a town where many are poor. But in the back of the funeral home, Megan’s elderly mother Shirley was actually dismembering the dead. And then Megan was selling the body parts – heads, torsos, legs – to companies that claim to do medical research. Megan and Shirley were body brokers, trading on a dark network where people buy and sell bodies. What exactly were the two women after? Who was really buying those stolen bodies, and why? SEASON 2: The Pill Plot Back in the ‘90s, a ragtag group plotted an international drug smuggling scheme and set up a secretive lab to cook up tablets. But they weren’t trafficking narcotics—they were fighting to bring the abortion pill America. This season will take you inside the epic struggle facing activists who battled presidents, the Supreme Court, militant anti-abortionists, would-be assassins and murders. SEASON 1: The Ministry of Secrets Season one uncovers the story of The Ministry of Secrets, one of the great unsolved mysteries of the Cold War. At its heart is a missing person — a wartime hero and international celebrity. But that’s just the starting point. It involves the royal family, MI6, the CIA and the KGB. There’s conspiracies. And lies. This story is so sensitive, so secret - that the truth is being withheld for 100 years, until 2057. Presenter Giles Milton and producer Sarah Peters are on a quest to find out why…

just got done, listening to body brokers and it was awesome… Binged it in one afternoon. Very informative, great reporting and mind-boggling as a funeral Director myself, it is hard to wrap my mind around the fact that someone could do this. Thank you for all your work on this podcast… Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Pure rubbish

There is no attempt here to truly learn about any particular belief system, it’s just shame and blame. Lesson learned; honor the voice of the establishment and don’t bother thinking for yourself, it’s just too dangerous.
Whatever…

Witchcraft is not a religion, it’s a practice. Not all of us worship Satan. We don’t “come after” you if you leave.

I had always wondered about what happened to Todd after his sudden rise to conspiracy stardom and equally sudden flameout. While I wanted to believe what hwe’reid, I always went in with a skeptics eye. However, a couple things that give him some credence was that he was not afraid to say “I don’t know” from time to time when an audience member might ask him about this politician or that group (ie, Full Gospel Businessmen’s Association) and if they were involved. For all of the great detail, I wereeurprised the show didn’t relate his murder confession. He had joined the army, said they “needed witches” and at one time got into an argument with a superior officer and killed him. “The army takes a dim view of things like that”. He wrote his mom asked her to cast a spell to get him set free. A few days later he stated, a State Department official (whose name I recognized but don’t remember), visited him and had him let go, handed him a plane ticket and was told he’d meet someone he’d recognize at the airport. No name was given, but sure enough, there was one of the highest ranking members of Wicca there behalf of his mom. He knew his mom was powerful but not that powerful, and proceeded to learn the full truth of the Illuminati and their plans. The last I had heard of him was from the early 80s I think. Someone tracked him down to a hilltop retreat, paranoid, he had put copper wire around his property as supposedly a way to block spells. A couple of small things he stated I heard confirmed on various news reports. But thats all, 1980 has passed, were all still here but that creepy All-Seeing Eye on the $1bill still bugs me.
