    Jeremy Ryan Slate | Rome Fell and Nobody Noticed: The Three Failures That End Every Empire and the Men Who Rewrite the Record | Part 1 of 2

    In the year 284, a loaf of bread in Rome cost 15,000 percent more than it had a lifetime earlier. The silver coin that bought it had been quietly hollowed out until almost no silver remained in it at all. And the people carrying those coins to market got up, went to work, paid their taxes, and told themselves everything was fine. Nobody in Rome ever woke up and announced that the empire was over. Our guest tonight has spent his life studying that silence. Jeremy Ryan Slate earned his master's degree studying the propaganda of Rome's first emperor. The machinery that convinced an entire civilization it still lived in a republic, long after the republic was gone. He studied at Oxford. He built a media company out of nothing. And he has become one of the most listened to voices connecting the fall of Rome to the world outside your window right now. He calls it the Roman Pattern. Three things, he says, happen every single time a civilization comes apart. The money gets hollowed out. The borders stop meaning anything. And the people in charge stop thinking past the next election. Tonight we take that pattern apart, piece by piece. We go inside the Praetorian Guard. The protectors who murdered an estimated 17 of the emperors they were sworn to defend, and who once auctioned the throne itself to the highest bidder. We go into the crisis of the third century, when 27 men claimed the empire in 50 years, and almost nobody teaches it. And we ask how much of Roman history is even true, when fewer than one in 10 Romans could read, and every writer who could was writing for a man who could have him killed. Then we ask the question underneath all of it. If collapse is slow, and quiet, and completely ordinary, how would any of us know we were already living inside one? Slate has an answer. You may not sleep especially well after you hear it. This is Part 1. Part 2, and all 886 interviews going back to 2008, are at https://veritas7.com/subscribeveritasplus.php

    Dean Kinzer | Coins of Collapse: What 2,000 Years of Debasement Reveals About Power, Propaganda, and the Fall of Empires | Part 1 of 2

    Tonight on Veritas our special guest is Dean Kinzer. He's an ancient coin expert and a decorated Iraq War veteran. What he's discovered might fundamentally shift how you understand power and collapse. When currency was invented around 650 BC, counterfeiting started immediately. That's civilization: trust breaking down the moment systems are created. Dean Kinzer holds that truth in his hands. He's holding 2,000-year-old coins that document empires rising and falling. In the Roman Empire, you can see collapse in metal composition. A denarius under Augustus was 90-95 percent silver. Under Gallienus 250 years later? Bronze with silver plating. Worthless. The economic decline is visible in your hand. Evidence of systemic failure, tangible. And Dean argues that pattern is repeating now. During the Crisis of the Third Century, 26 emperors ruled in 50 years. Rome fractured. Plague killed 20 percent of the population. Emperor Valerian was captured by the Persians, the first Roman emperor taken alive. Aurelian reunified the empire in five years, then was assassinated by his own subordinates. What happens when individual leadership tries to fix a corrupt system? Dean inherited his father's collection: an ordained minister's tribute pennies and widow's mites. Coins from the time of Christ. The Pontius Pilate Prutah. His father never had anyone to share that with. So Dean built that expertise. Dean walks us through 2,700 years of coins and collapse cycles. Why Constantine's decision extended an empire by 1,100 years. Why Diocletian's Tetrarchy might have been genius. And why the coins people are burying right now might be the most honest thing they do about what's coming. Prophecy through history. This is Part 1.

    Allan Paul Roberts | Eleven Pillars. One Year Later. Which Ones Are Still Standing? | Part 1 of 2

    One year ago he sat in this chair and named 11 pillars he said were being pulled down on purpose. Borders. Banking. Food. Energy. Faith. He told us a digital currency was coming. He told us the banks would break. He told us the men who move the world would never be touched. A year has passed. This month, the digital dollar was banned by law in this country, and the power to freeze what you own moved quietly into private hands. Gold doubled. Silver went from 30 dollars an ounce to 80. A member of the royal family was arrested. The president of the World Economic Forum resigned. A former prime minister was criminally charged. So what happens to a warning when the world starts answering it? Roberts is the author of The Globalist Plan to Collapse Everything to Usher In a New World Order. He wrote it in three and a half months, after an experience at four in the morning that he still cannot fully explain. He filled it with more than 100 QR codes, so that nothing in it has to be taken on faith. Tonight we walk back through all 11 pillars with 12 months of evidence on the table. The ones he called right. The ones the world moved on. And the ones that went somewhere nobody predicted. We talk about what it means when the machinery you spent a year warning about ends up in the hands of people you trust. This is not a victory lap, and it is not the same warning shouted louder. It is an honest accounting of what is actually in front of us, from a man willing to be graded on his own work. If you have been waiting for someone to check the scoreboard without flinching, stay right where you are. This is Part 1.

    Dr. Arturo Solis Herrera | Human Photosynthesis: We Run on Light | Part 1 of 2

    Dr. Arturo Solís Herrera is a surgeon and an eye doctor from Mexico who spent 12 years staring into the eyes of 6,000 patients, chasing an answer no one could give him. Why, he wondered, do the three great causes of blindness still take people's sight the same way they did 100 years ago, no matter how heroic or expensive the treatment? Somewhere in the tiny blood vessels of the optic nerve, he saw something the textbooks never explained. And when he finally understood it, it reshaped how he saw the eye, the body, and the origin of life itself. His claim is simple to say and almost impossible to accept. He says the pigment we call melanin, the same dark molecule that colors your skin and your hair, is doing something inside every cell of your body that we were taught only plants can do. He says it takes in light, it splits water, and from that split it pulls oxygen, hydrogen, and energy. He calls it human photosynthesis. And if he is right, then the oxygen keeping you alive in this moment may not be coming from the air in your lungs at all. Tonight he will tell us why he believes the whole purpose of breathing is to carry a poison out of the body. He will explain why he thinks the real cause of nearly every disease is one broken reaction, hiding in plain sight since the beginning of time. We will talk about batteries that could run for 100 years, walls that stay cool in brutal heat, and soil that could one day wake up on Mars. And we will ask the harder question underneath all of it. If one country has already granted him a patent, and one man has spent 30 years insisting we are made of light and water, why has the rest of the world looked away? Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about the breath in your chest. This is Part 1.

    Samuel Chong | The Thiaoouba Prophecy Returns: Nine Days on the Golden Planet and the Knowledge Earth Wasn't Ready For | Part 1 of 2

    In 1987, a French-born landscaper living near Cairns, Australia, claimed he was taken from his bed in the dead of night, carried through a doorway in space, and delivered to a planet of gold and impossible color. He stayed nine days. He came back changed, grieving, and certain. He spent the rest of his life trying to make us believe him, and then he died on a quiet island in Vietnam, homesick for a world he saw only once. The man's name was Michel Desmarquet. The book he left behind is called Thiaoouba Prophecy, and tonight it returns in a brand-new edition, carried forward by the one man who spent $2,000 of his own money to track Michel down before he passed. Chong did not just read this book. He flew across the world on the strength of a single printed photograph, found the bungalow on his second try, and sat with Michel twice. And on those visits, Michel told him things he wrote down nowhere, things Chong says he is still not permitted to repeat, because we are not ready to hear them. Tonight, we go looking for what is behind that locked door. The first humans, who arrived here by craft. The being placed inside the body of a man we think we know. A warning that our machines are racing ahead of our souls. And a quiet promise about a return that Chong is allowed to hint at, but not fully name. Is this the most important book ever smuggled back from another world, or the most elaborate dream a lonely man ever had? Tonight we press on every seam, we ask the questions no one else will ask, and we find out how much of it holds. Bring your curiosity. Leave your certainty at the door. This is one of those nights at Veritas where the floor moves under your feet. This is Part 1. Part 2, and all 886 interviews going back to 2008, are at https://veritas7.com/subscribeveritasplus.php

    Dr. Joe | The Last Human in the Room | Part 1 of 2

    Somewhere tonight, a medical examiner is looking at a gray film wrapped around the organs of a healthy 40 year old, and he cannot say what it is. That single image is where our conversation begins, and it does not let go. Dr. Joe is a board certified physician who has spent years treating chronic illness from the inside out, and tonight almost nothing is off limits. The man now running federal health policy is a peptide enthusiast. A triple hormone drug is producing weight loss we once saw only from surgery. And the first human trial to rewind the age of a living cell just cleared the FDA. The future arrived quietly, and most of us never noticed. We will start with the therapies the doctor knows best, the phospholipids and plasmalogens he ties to how our cells age, and the controversial thread that connects them to autism. We will follow the money through the weight loss machine, where one company now owns the disease and the cure that has to be taken for life, and we will name the quiet epidemic hiding underneath every failed diet. Then, in part two, we go where most physicians will not. The parasite question. Science already accepts that certain worms cause cancer outright, and the doctor asks how far that truth really reaches, all the way, he suspects, into places the textbooks swear are impossible. We will weigh the miracle drugs the desperate buy without a prescription, the stem cell clinics selling hope by the needle, and the machines that hospital executives say can replace your radiologist tomorrow. We will ask who gets to live to 120, and who pays for the endless hum of the data centers that make it all run. This is a conversation about the body as the last frontier, and about who profits when you stay sick. Skepticism sharpened. Curiosity wide open. This is Part 1.

    Ed Dames | In Memoriam: August 11, 1949 - March 27, 2026 | Part 1 of 2

    This is an encore presentation from the Veritas Vault. Original date: February 26, 2015. Decorated army officer Major Ed Dames tells the shocking true story of his time as operations and training officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency's top-secret Psychic Intelligence Unit. Together with his PSI Spyteam, Dames used the practice of remote viewing to uncover accurate and verifiable military intelligence by going where no intel operatives on the ground could go -- into the very mind of the enemy. After retiring from the military, he turned his paranormal detective skills to finding missing persons such as millionaire pilot Steve Fossett, whose plane vanished in Nevada, and a young Colorado girl named Christina White, who disappeared seemingly without a trace. He has even located one of the most legendary missing objects in history, the Ark of the Covenant. Cosmic Columbo Major Ed Dames takes us behind the scenes of some of his most mind-bending cases. He reveals true stories and fascinating secrets uncovered by the military's remote viewing teams--from intelligence on Soviet missile sites to the whereabouts of missing POWs in Vietnam to the location of the Ark of the Covenant.

    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.
