    #157 - Disclosure, Psyops, and the War Over Reality : with M.D. Selig

    What happens when a decorated Marine combat pilot, squadron intelligence officer, Hollywood insider, and bestselling starts asking questions about UFO disclosure, government secrecy, and psychological operations? This one goes deep. The conversation goes far beyond "aliens." In this episode, M.D. Selig — author of the international bestselling thriller Hush — joins the show from a boat in the Pacific to unpack the uncomfortable intersection between military intelligence, narrative control, and the shaping of public perception. Drawing from his background in military intelligence and storytelling, he breaks down how narratives are engineered, why timing matters, and how institutions manage information during moments of public tension. We explore the possibility that disclosure itself may not simply be about revealing truth — but about controlling the context in which truth is received. From military information warfare to media framing, from MH370 to 9/11, this discussion pulls on the threads that connect secrecy, perception management, and long-term narrative control. This episode isn't about sensationalism. It's about examining how institutional power shapes what we're allowed to see — and what we're conditioned not to question. If you're interested in UFO disclosure, psychological operations, state power, military intelligence, or the broader war over reality itself, this conversation will stay with you Topics Covered: ·       The real story behind "UFO disclosure" — and why timing matters ·       Psychological operations (psyops), and how narratives are engineered ·       The architecture of state secrecy and perception management Military intelligence and information warfare Government secrecy and institutional power structures Media framing and engineered consensus ·       The disappearance of Malaysian Flight MH370 ·       9/11 and long-tail information control ·       Deep state dynamics and institutional power patterns ·       The blurred line between fiction, classified reality, and power ·       Speaking out publicly after serving inside the system   For more info: Web: http://www.mdselig.com   As always, please hit the subscribe button if you like and support what we do!

    #156 - Your Body Isn't Broken — It's Being Poisoned: with Christian Yordanov

    Episode 156 - Your Body Isn't Broken — It's Being Poisoned (A Functional Health Wake-Up Call with Christian Yordanov) What if the symptoms so many people are struggling with today — chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, autoimmune issues, hormonal dysfunction — aren't personal failures or genetic bad luck? What if they're the predictable result of modern environmental exposure? In this episode, I sit down with functional health practitioner Christian Yordanov to explore why so many people feel depleted, inflamed, or broken — and why the conventional healthcare system often struggles to provide real answers. We break down a fundamental difference in approach: Allopathic medicine is largely designed to manage symptoms once disease is established — often through pharmaceuticals or procedures — which can be lifesaving in acute care, but limited when it comes to chronic, complex illness. Functional medicine, on the other hand, asks a different question: Why is this happening in the first place? Rather than silencing symptoms, functional health looks upstream at root causes — toxic load, nutrient deficiencies, gut dysfunction, mold exposure, metabolic stress, and lifestyle factors that slowly overwhelm the body over time. Many people are told their labs are "normal," even while their health continues to decline. In this conversation, we explore how the body doesn't randomly malfunction — it adapts to its environment. When that environment becomes hostile, symptoms are often the body's early warning system, not the enemy. This isn't about rejecting modern medicine or chasing quick fixes. It's about understanding how different systems approach health — and why addressing root causes can change the trajectory of chronic illness. This episode is a wake-up call — not to panic, but to rethink what health really means in the modern world. Because your body isn't betraying you. It's responding exactly as it was designed to. 🧠 Topics We Cover ·       The key differences between symptom management and root-cause medicine ·       Why many chronic conditions fall through the cracks of conventional care ·       How toxic load accumulates from food, water, air, and indoor environments ·       Why "normal labs" don't always equal optimal health ·       The functional medicine lens: systems biology, context, and causality ·       How symptoms can be signals — not failures ·       Practical first steps to reduce burden and support the body ⚠️ Important Note This episode is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making changes to your health regimen. If you've ever been told "everything looks normal" while knowing something wasn't right — this episode is for you.   For more info: Web: https://www.livelongerformula.com/big-truth   As always, please hit the subscribe button if you like and support what we do!

But this is The Big Truth, so it doesn't stop at music. Marc and I also veer off into: ·       Control structures within the music industry ·       Gatekeepers, narratives, and who really decides what rises ·       The fine line between art, rebellion, and manipulation ·       Why questioning authority isn't optional — it's essential This is a raw conversation about music, truth, independence, and staying dangerous in a world that rewards conformity. If you're into heavy metal, underground culture, or questioning the systems behind the curtain — this one's for you. 🔥 Topics Covered ·       Heavy metal roots & influences ·       Life inside touring bands ·       The changing music industry ·       Authenticity vs. industry pressure ·       Conspiracy, power, and cultural control ·       Why metal still matters ⚠️ Big Truth Reminder Nothing here is presented as fact — this show exists to question, explore, and encourage critical thinking.

    #153 – Demonology – Hauntings – UFO's: The One Parasitic Entity Behind Them All! With Nathaniel Gillis

    In this explosive episode, paranormal researcher and religious demonologist Nathaniel Gillis joins the show to break down one of the most controversial theories in the entire UFO community: Are "aliens" actually ancient, non-human intelligences — the same entities our ancestors called demons? Gillis reveals his research into possession cases, sigils, abductions, shadow beings, implants, and interdimensional entities that appear to operate under the same patterns across history. We discuss:    Why modern UFO encounters mirror ancient demonic encounters  The parasitic intelligence behind hauntings and abductions  Why these beings may not be extraterrestrial, but extra-dimensional  Ritual technology, sigils, and the symbols found on abductees  How NASA, mythology, and demonology all connect  Why this "one intelligence, many masks" theory is gaining traction fast  What these entities ultimately want from humanity   If you're interested in UFOs, demonology, paranormal research, hidden history, or the nature of non-human intelligence… this is the episode you can't afford to miss.
