The Conspiracy Podcast

http://www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast Part Two. Columbus discovered America. The Liberty Bell rang out on July 4th, 1776. The defenders of the Alamo were freedom-loving heroes who chose to die rather than surrender. And Pocahontas fell in love with a brave English soldier and saved his life with the power of nature and music. These are the stories that made it into the movies, the federal holidays, the theme parks, and the history books. They’re taught to every American child as fact. And in this episode, Eric, Jorge, and Sean are asking the question nobody wants to ask: what if most of them aren’t true? From the real history of Christopher Columbus and the colonization of the Americas, to the origin of the Liberty Bell’s name, to what the Texas Revolution was actually fought over, to the true story of the real woman behind the Pocahontas myth — the guys dig into who built these legends, when, and why. Some of these myths are embellished. Some are invented. And at least one is considerably darker than the version you grew up with. Eight American myths. Two weeks. Happy 250th America.

http://www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, Eric, Jorge, and Sean are taking on some of the most famous stories in American history — and asking a simple question: are they actually true? Paul Revere’s midnight ride. Betsy Ross and the first American flag. George Washington and the cherry tree. Benjamin Franklin flying a kite in a lightning storm. These are the stories every American learns as a kid, the legends that show up on murals and coins and every Fourth of July without fail. But what if most of them were invented? Not exaggerated — invented. By poets, booksellers, and loyal grandsons who needed a good story and weren’t above making one up. The real versions are messier, stranger, and in at least one case involved two men in Europe who didn’t survive trying to replicate the experiment. The guys dig into who actually built these myths, when, and why — and what the real stories look like underneath them. Turns out 250 years of American history comes with a lot of fine print. Part Two drops next week.

http://www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast The FULL Pyramids Compilation (5 EPs in one) The show’s 100th episode. What started as a milestone special turned into five full episodes, hours of debate, and one of the most spirited arguments in podcast history. Now it’s all in one place. Eric, Sean, and Jorge dive headfirst into the greatest mystery in human history: Who built the Great Pyramids of Giza — and how the hell did they do it? Part 1 — The History: Before the conspiracies, lay the foundation. The Nile River, the Old Kingdom, the pharaohs, and a timeline that puts the Great Pyramid in perspective. It was built before coins, before paper, before the domestication of horses in Africa — and Cleopatra was closer in time to us than to the pyramids. Parts 2 & 3 — Sean’s Episodes: Sean comes in swinging with 20 pages of things that don’t add up. The Great Pyramid’s near-perfect alignment with True North (off by 0.05 degrees — more precise than the Washington Monument). Pi and the Golden Ratio embedded in its dimensions. The Earth’s own proportions mirrored in its geometry. Impossible 80-ton granite slabs. Sealed doors discovered by robots. Salt deposits in the Queen’s Chamber. And the burning question: if it was just a tomb, where’s the body? Part 4 — Eric’s Episode: Eric fights back. He makes the case that mankind — skilled, organized, and wildly underestimated — built the pyramids with no alien assistance. He brings evidence: the workers’ village, Machu Picchu, the Great Wall of China, the Hoover Dam. His thesis? Human ingenuity has always defied what seems impossible. The Update: Two weeks after Episode 100 aired, news broke of a massive underground complex discovered beneath Giza using satellite radar — interconnected chambers, spiraling shafts, and cylindrical voids stretching nearly two kilometers underground. We had to come back. Everything’s on the table again. History, mystery, bad diagrams, and a few things we still can’t explain.

http://www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast One of the greatest unsolved aviation mysteries in history. Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. 15 Added minutes to the end of the compilation. Sean, Jorge and Eric—“The Boys”—combine Part One and Part Two into a full breakdown of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, one of the greatest unsolved aviation mysteries in history. From the moment the Boeing 777 took off from Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014, to the years-long search across the Indian Ocean, this episode covers the complete MH370 timeline, key evidence, and the most discussed theories behind its disappearance. The boys walk through the critical events of the flight, including the final ACARS transmission, the chilling last words from the cockpit—“All right, good night”—and the moment the transponder was switched off. They break down how MH370 vanished from radar, reappeared on military tracking systems, and ultimately disappeared again, leading investigators to rely heavily on Inmarsat satellite data and the now-famous “handshake” pings that suggested a final path deep into the southern Indian Ocean. This episode also explores the massive international search effort, one of the most expensive in aviation history, and the limited physical evidence recovered—most notably debris found years later on remote islands like Réunion. Sean, Jorge and Eric explain how ocean drift patterns helped support the southern crash theory while still leaving major questions unanswered. In the second half, the boys analyze the leading MH370 theories, including the hypoxia “ghost flight” scenario, pilot involvement, mechanical failure, cyber hijacking, and state-sponsored interception. They also touch on lesser-known and controversial theories that continue to circulate online, along with the scrutiny surrounding Captain Zaharie’s flight simulator. This MH370 full episode compilation delivers a complete, fact-driven overview of the disappearance, the investigation, and the enduring mystery that still captivates the world.

http://www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast For over 200 years, people have been chasing one thing—the Oak Island treasure—and somehow, no one has ever been able to reach it. In this episode, we break down the full story behind the Oak Island mystery, starting with the discovery of the Money Pit in 1795 and following it all the way to today. What starts as a simple dig quickly turns into something much bigger—layered wooden platforms, engineered flood tunnels, and just enough real evidence to make you believe there actually is something buried down there. We walk through the biggest Oak Island treasure theories, including pirate gold, the Knights Templar, hidden British war treasure, and even the idea that the island is protecting something far more valuable than gold. More importantly, we explain why each of these theories exists—and what clues have kept them alive for centuries. We also get into the darker side of the island, including the infamous “seven must die” curse, the real deaths tied to the search, and why this story feels less like a treasure hunt and more like something people can’t walk away from. So what is the Oak Island treasure? Is it gold, history, or nothing at all—and why has no one ever been able to claim it?

http://www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast What really happened during the Phoenix Lights incident of 1997? In this episode we look into one of the most famous UFO sightings in U.S. history — a night when thousands of people across Arizona reported seeing a massive, silent V-shaped object gliding across the sky. From the first sightings over Nevada to the eerie moment the lights passed directly over Phoenix, we break down the full timeline, including real eyewitness accounts, police calls, and the now-infamous government explanation involving military flares. But does that explanation actually hold up? We get into the strange details most people don’t know — including reports of a solid craft blocking out the stars, radar anomalies, and why even Arizona Governor Fife Symington later admitted he saw something he couldn’t explain. Was it a secret military aircraft? A massive misidentification? Or something far more unexplained? If you’re into UFO sightings, government cover-ups, alien encounters, and unsolved mysteries, this is one you don’t want to miss. Because on March 13, 1997… the sky over Arizona wasn’t empty. And thousands of people saw something they’ll never forget.

http://www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast What if we told you that birds don’t exist? That they’ve all been replaced by government surveillance drones recharging on power lines and pooping tracking devices on your car? Welcome to the wonderfully absurd world of Birds Aren’t Real—a satirical conspiracy movement that somehow became a cultural phenomenon. In this episode, we trace the strange and hilarious rise of a prank-turned-parody that began on a whim at a 2017 protest in Memphis, when college student Peter McIndoe held up a sign that simply read: “Birds Aren’t Real.” What followed was an elaborate, years-long performance complete with fake whistleblowers, billboard campaigns, cross-country rallies, and a dedicated fanbase of “bird truthers”—most of whom were entirely in on the joke. Through a mix of storytelling and real-world absurdity, we explore how the movement became a Gen Z coping mechanism for living in a post-truth world. From vomit stunts on live TV to NFL players parroting the slogans, this story isn’t really about birds—it’s about satire, misinformation, and laughing our way through the madness. Get ready for CIA pigeons, power-line charging ports, and a dive into one of the internet’s most brilliantly ridiculous conspiracies. Because sometimes, the only sane response to an insane world… is pretending birds aren’t real.

http://www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast Part Two begins at the edge of the end. After nearly seven weeks of stalemate, tension at Mount Carmel was at a breaking point. Negotiations had stalled. David Koresh claimed he was waiting for a divine sign to finish a manuscript that would reveal God’s plan. Federal authorities, running out of patience, approved a tactical endgame. In the early hours of April 19, 1993, the FBI launched its final operation. Armored vehicles breached the compound walls. Tear gas was pumped inside in an effort to force residents out. Sporadic gunfire echoed across the Texas prairie. Then, just after noon, fires ignited in multiple locations within the building. Strong winds pushed the flames fast. Within hours, the Mount Carmel compound was gone. Seventy-six Branch Davidians died, including 25 children. David Koresh was found dead inside. From that moment on, the tragedy became a battleground of narratives. Federal investigations concluded that members of the Branch Davidians set the fires themselves in a coordinated act, citing audio recordings, forensic analysis, and survivor testimony. But critics, survivors, and independent investigators challenged that conclusion. Questions surfaced about the use of tear gas, whether armored vehicles caused structural damage that worsened the blaze, and why firefighters were held back during the critical early minutes. The episode dives deep into the most persistent Waco conspiracy theories: claims of government-started fires, alleged cover-ups, disputed ballistic evidence, and debates over whether the siege violated federal law. It also explores the broader cultural fallout — including how the events at Waco became a rallying cry for anti-government extremism and influenced Timothy McVeigh, who bombed Oklahoma City exactly two years later. Part Two examines the final hours, the unanswered questions, and why Waco remains one of the most debated government operations in U.S. history.

http://www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast In 1993, on a patch of quiet Texas land outside Waco, a man who called himself the final prophet of God was preparing for the end of the world. Before the fire. Before the tanks. Before the siege became a symbol. David Koresh — born Vernon Wayne Howell — rose from obscurity to lead a small apocalyptic sect known as the Branch Davidians. Charismatic, intense, and obsessed with the Book of Revelation, Koresh convinced his followers that he alone could unlock the Seven Seals and usher in the final days. Inside the Mount Carmel compound, he claimed divine authority — not just spiritually, but personally. He took “spiritual wives.” Married couples were separated. Teenage girls were reassigned to him under the belief they were helping fulfill prophecy. Former members would later allege sexual relationships with underage girls, all justified through scripture. Parents inside the group believed they were obeying God. Meanwhile, federal agents were watching. An ATF investigation into alleged illegal weapons modifications was building. An undercover agent infiltrated the compound. A newspaper exposé titled “The Sinful Messiah” hit the stands. And on February 28, 1993, 76 federal agents rolled toward Mount Carmel in cattle trailers, expecting to serve a warrant. Within minutes, gunfire erupted. Four ATF agents would be dead. Six Davidians would die that morning. And what was meant to be a single-day operation would spiral into something far larger. In Part One, we lay the groundwork — the rise of Koresh, the psychology inside the compound, the warnings that were ignored, and the raid that changed everything. The siege has only just begun.

http://www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast What are the facts involved with Trump and Epstein. How much did he know him? we break down the documented connections between President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein — from the first social overlap in the late 1980s to the flight logs, depositions, lawsuits, and DOJ file releases that followed. We start at the beginning: The Palm Beach party circuit.The 1992 Mar-a-Lago footage. The 2002 “terrific guy” quote. The 1990s flights on Epstein’s plane. The Mar-a-Lago recruitment overlap involving Virginia Giuffre. The mid-2000s falling out.The 2016 civil lawsuit naming both Trump and Epstein. The Maxwell trial. The prosecutor email about eight flights.And what actually appears in the so-called “Epstein files.” No clickbait. No partisan spin. No dramatic music pretending we uncovered something that isn’t in the record. We separate: What’s documented What’s alleged What’s denied What’s unproven And what’s never been charged Because in a story this big, proximity gets confused with proof — and rumors spread faster than facts.
