Conspiracy Theories

Imagine you wake up tomorrow and the person you depend upon most in this world is gone. No trace, no goodbyes, just vanished. Then, you find out they planned their disappearance — and have no intention of returning. In Japan, this phenomenon has a name: Johatsu, or “evaporated people.” Is it a silent escape from societal pressures or something more sinister? From clandestine "night-moving" services to whispers of a hidden underworld, we dive into the intriguing, and sometimes unsettling, world of Japan's missing.

Japan’s Evaporated People

Earlier this year, Dr. Corrado Malanga and Dr. Filippo Biondi claimed they’d made a massive discovery at the Giza Complex in Egypt. Using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, combined with their own new technology, they said they’d located massive structures hidden below the Pyramid of Khafre. The news went viral; excitement and speculation ran rampant. Experts were quick to question the results. So what’s the debate all about?

What’s Under the Pyramids of Giza?

We can’t hop in a time machine and set it to a specific year…yet. But what if we can unwittingly slip through time, briefly, to another year – with no control over when or where it happens? There have been multiple documented cases of alleged time-slips, and strangely, many of them have occurred in Europe.

Time-Slipping Through Europe

Did Germany secretly establish a base in Antarctica prior to World War II? In 1947, the U.S. Navy launched the largest expedition to the southernmost continent ever attempted. Some believe they were hunting Nazis. And the idea that the Germans built one, or more, Antarctic bases is just beginning. UFOs? Super weapons? Gateways to Hell? Subterranean alien species? The South Pole is like a one-stop shop for popular conspiracy theories.

Secret Nazi Bases in Antarctica

“Power is having impunity.” In January 1997, a photojournalist is found murdered on the side of the road in General Madariaga, Argentina. The investigation into his death becomes a cultural flashpoint, exposing a sprawling conspiracy with ties to some of the most powerful forces in the country. More than 25 years later, some still believe the man who orchestrated it all…got away.

The (Faked?) Death of an Argentine Tycoon

For over a century, common belief was that Vincent Van Gogh died by suicide. But in 2011, two Pulitzer Prize-winning biographers suggested the art world had it all wrong, and Vincent covered up his own homicide.

Who Shot Vincent Van Gogh?

On New Year’s Day in Sydney, Australia, two dead bodies are discovered near a river. Dr. Gilbert Bogle and Margaret Chandler are married – but not to each other. And both of their spouses have strong alibis.They’re found just hours after dying, and yet experts can’t determine what led to their deaths. There are no signs of violence; no trace of deadly substances. Were they killed by a jealous spouse, accidental poisoning, or an international conspiracy targeting Dr. Bogle, a renowned physicist who, some allege, was working on a top-secret project?

Untraceable Poison? The Bogle-Chandler Mystery

Fluoride and its presence in public water has become a hot-button issue in the United States. More and more communities and government officials are rethinking whether the benefits fluoride provides our teeth outweigh its potential health risks. But history shows fluoride is no stranger to controversy or conspiracy theories. 

Over the years, the naturally-occurring mineral compound has been blamed for turning women into nymphomaniacs, populations into “moronic, atheistic slaves”, and perhaps most popularly, it’s been accused of being a weapon in a vast communist plot to overthrow democracy. What’s true and what’s not? The needle is moving.

Listen to Science Vs. explore the science, including recent studies on whether fluoride affects IQ.

Listen to The Journal discuss how the politics of fluoride in drinking water are playing out across the country.

Fluoride + Communism = Mind Control?

In 2018, a peer-reviewed article published in Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology suggested the theory that octopuses could have extraterrestrial origins. As in, they’re not regular Earthlings. The 33 scientists who authored the paper say, the octopus could have arrived on Earth, in some form, on board a celestial body – like an asteroid. 

Most of the scientific community disagreed. Experts said octopuses are alien-like, but there are clues to suggest they experienced a normal, Earth-bound evolution. 

However…they might hold clues about what alien behavior would look like. Today, we’re joined by researcher Dominic Sivitilli, who tells us what studying octopus cognition can teach us about alien intelligence.

Are Octopuses Aliens??

American New Age culture isn’t all crystals and Tarot cards. A New World Order? The Aryan race? Alien-human hybrids? Throughout history, New Age belief systems have so often been blended with wild, and sometimes dangerous, conspiracy theories that academics have coined the term “conspirituality.” 

This week, we journey into murky waters of Love Has Won, a New Age spiritual group whose leader passed away in 2021. By the time authorities found her body that April, she had been dead for weeks. Her followers had camped with her body, slept with it in tents, and crossed state lines to fashion a shine out of her mummified corpse.

We’re joined by journalist and author Leah Sottile. Leah’s book Blazing Eye Sees All investigates American New Age culture and examines how self-proclaimed prophetesses, like Love Has Won’s Amy Carlson, have managed to create kingdoms for themselves.

New Age Conspirituality

Famed novelist. Accomplished outdoorsman. Intrepid spy? Today we examine the evidence suggesting one of the greatest writers of the 20th century was also involved in espionage — whether as a Soviet asset, or a double agent for the U.S., it all depends on who you ask.
