I'd turn my radio off lol

I didn't know this was a thing. My truck does this sometimes. I have never used the radio in my truck. Only Bluetooth for audiobooks or music on a memory stick. But sometimes I start the truck and it turns to NPR, and it won't let me change the input. I have to do a hard reset on the stereo/computer console, and sometimes that takes a few tries to fix the issue.

JFK, zeppelins, Operation Paperclip, Hydra, NPR. I can see it, even if it's kinda Iron Sky. Ever see that Nazi hunter thing with Tim Kennedy? I think it was called Finding Hitler. Kinda hype-y, but some cool & crazy info.

The airship thing has always been one of those oddities of American history that either gets glossed over or ignored at best or dismissed as fake.

Years ago, I read books on "old" UFO's and they mentioned the Airship craze in the late 19th century. It was the time where air ships were viewed as the future. But they have major issues. Leaks, fires, and speed were the draw back. Doubt you could get insurance for them now.

But they (the Second Reich) sent an airship from Germany to German East Africa in WWI. Think about that. That is very efficient mass lifter

Operations High Jump and Operation Argus were interesting.

Folks like Jules Verne wrote many books about airships, one in Master of the World, they and airplanes are used to terrorize nations into surrendering.

I loved that book. Very dated, but I loved it. I was about 10 when I read it one blizzard, and REALLY wanted to build an airship.

Are you ever going to circle back & talk about your prediction that the virus folks would take that victory lap & Eastern Europe would erupt? You were frighteningly close to what has happened since that show. Further thoughts?

Could you post the link or how to get the podcast thing on the airships?

Spent the weekend in Santa Barbara and was amazed at the blue skies, warm/dry weather, ocean views, farmers market, and general wealth. ...but, what gives? I could not walk a single block in the shopping district without stepping over a homeless person, pile of hurl, or fresh feces.

Stupid leftist policies. It’s so frustrating!

I would not be surprised to find that Leonardo Da Vinci's ideas were fulfilled in some way in regard to airships or vehicles of flight. Why would humans not expand on ideas like that when they could. The mysterious, high strangeness of airships reminds me of the "Battle of Los Angeles" that people have sworn happened, yet it has been somehow erased from public knowledge.

It's no more shocking than learning that native American moundbuilder society structures were purposely dismantled and stored by the government (some kept in the Smithsonian) to eliminate evidence that America was inhabited long before the established narrative of Columbus. Whole sites were razed.

History gets scrubbed for the "convenience" of the "in charge" much too often. I anticipate we'll never know how much has been wiped "for our own good." Having one station to tune into just follows that same pattern --- control the info.

Great show, you two.

i would gladly crowdfund a high altitude airship over antarctica surveying missing as long as it was livestreamed to several services through several routes (so if some military blew it up you would see what happened live).

I like Nick's advice about whatever it is you want to be, be it. There's a lot of folks out there who think other people should do things they want when they could get involved if they actually cared (like charity works for example).

The misdirection of the news is pretty transparent these days, the real problem is the important things you want to know get buried in the noise that is pushed and even algorithmically demoted when you try to dig for it. So if you don't know in the first place what the story is, really tough to get the information.

I like the conspiracy stories Nick gives us, and I appreciate that you let us know which ones you're onboard with and what you think is probably baseless. It's good because you're evaluating on a case by case basis and not just a hardline skeptic who can never get enough evidence or a true believer who just takes notes when someone feeds you a whopper.

The car radio hacks doesn't surprise me. They put a line in some recent legislation to allow the police to remotely stop your car for all new manufacturing starting in a few years. So much tyranny and overreach gets jammed through even if the other team sweeps Congress this fall it's a full time endeavor to unravel it.

There should be a "Nick was right board" like a dry erase board like Glenn Beck was so enamored with.

It's not surprising that ships would be moved for a propaganda effort, but these folks really are more of a Hollywood administration than Reagan with the production efforts to fool people.

And you didn't talk about it on this show but the Bob Sagat autopsy report... I am hearing now that his family is sealing the report, and he had severe traumatic head injury, like maybe caused by another person not just a fall. So Nick's vibes on the guy might be right.

Updated Bob Sagat article, we can't know exactly what happened in the room... But it seems like they trying to put the story to bed quietly.
