from We Would Be Dead · host We Would Be Dead

Did the Netflix series Stranger Things take over your life this holiday season? Do you like conspiracy theories, government secrets, magic and monsters? Have you ever wondered how much the United States Government would pay for a psychic division? Then boy do we have a good news for you! This episode is the second in a series of the true, and not true stories that inspired the world of Stranger Things.  In this episode we'll cover: Project Stargate and The Men Who Stare at Goats FYI: If you didn't watch the show, don't worry. The stories we are going to explore in this series exist on their own, you don't need to have seen the show to understand or appreciate them. We just love a theme! If you are curious though, any images we think may be relevant, or are interesting points of comparison, will be included in the corresponding week's photo suite.    Click to learn more (sources) https://www.aclu.org/issues/immigrants-rights https://www.standwithminnesota.com/ https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00789R002800180001-2.pdf https://lifeoutofbounds.com/2015/06/01/jim-channon-intergalactic-shaman/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RBI/comments/1hvio2n/gate_the_nefarious_gifted_and_talented_programme/ https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/5e1ede584653d00964acbb49   Episode Credits: Hosts/writers: Holly Knapp and Leslie Weidel Editor/Composer/Producer: Jon Katity WWBD Merch Buy your WWBD swag here!  Join the Conversation
