https://primitiveintelligence.com/ Jumping right in to one of the big ones in this episode...Flat Earth! I'll talk a little about the history of flat earth and then look at the modern day Flat Earth Society. Then I'll jump into why this seems absurd, but also how this might actually prove a point laid out in the Flat Earth Societies description of itself.

This episode I look at another one of the "Big Ones"... Was the moon landing a hoax? I was already planning on covering this particular conspiracy when my buddy Jason from YouTube: Backpacking with Jason ( https://www.youtube.com/c/BackpackingWithJason ) reached out and requested it. There is a lot of information out there about this one, below are a few of the links I used...

As the old saying goes, just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean you're not being followed! In this episode I look into the Fluoride Conspiracy and what I find may... should - shock you. Is fluoride the benign, community miracle treatment we are led to believe or does it actually pose a health threat to millions of unsuspecting people?

After a little back and forth with my web host, here is this weeks delayed episode! The Chemtrail Conspiracy has been around since the mid 90's, but does it have any merit? There's a lot of talk online about what chemtrails consist of and how bad they are for your health, but where's the proof and just who is getting up to 30,000-40,000 feet to get samples?

There are so many UFO conspiracies out there. What better place to start than Flying Triangles? With the rise of sightings starting in the early 1990’s, these mysterious sightings have gone from kooky story to government verified phenomenon. But the questions still remain, what are they? Where are they from? What do they want? And possibly, even though they have been seen, have they really been seen? I’ll explain that last question in this episode. Links: What Are ‘Black Triangles”?

Season 4 is rolling right along and this week I look at a conspiracy that is actually getting attention form the U.S. House of Representatives. Were ticks studied by the American military for the purpose of using them as biological weapons? Even though a lot of people say this is impossible, there is quite a bit of evidence to show that it may actually be the case. Mistakenly, Lyme Disease gets used as the "go to" for this conspiracy but I'll talk about why it may just be the patsy!

Internal combustion engines are 135+ year old technology, so why have we not moved on to a more modern solution? There are better options, and there have reportedly been huge advances in engine technology that have been covered up. But why? In this episode I take a look at some "alt fuel" conspiracies including electric cars... which actually beat internal combustion engine vehicles to market all the way back in 1835!
