Prophecies of the Illuminati Card Game | Ep 110
Tuesday Feb 11, 2025
Tuesday Feb 11, 2025
The “Illuminati Card Game,” released in 1994 by Steve Jackson Games, is a strategy and card game that delves into the world of conspiracies and secret societies. Known for its satirical take on global politics and conspiracy theories, the game has gained a cult following due to its clever mechanics, humorous illustrations, and eerie predictions that some players find eerily prescient.
The game is famous for its satirical portrayal of conspiracy theories, poking fun at the idea of secret societies controlling the world. The illustrations and card descriptions are filled with humor and irony. Additionally, some cards have gained notoriety for seemingly predicting real-world events, such as the “Terrorist Nuke” and “Epidemic” cards, which have been linked to various global incidents post-release.
Indeed, many of the cards are a little “too on the nose” to be a coincidence. Let’s explore this, shall we?

Skinwalker Ranch | Episode 109
Tuesday Jan 21, 2025
Tuesday Jan 21, 2025
Skinwalker Ranch, also known as Sherman Ranch, is a property located in the Uintah Basin of Utah, United States, that has gained international notoriety for its alleged paranormal activities and unexplained phenomena. Spanning approximately 512 acres, this secluded ranch has been the focal point of numerous investigations and has captured the imagination of both skeptics and believers alike.
The ranch’s mystique stems from a series of bizarre and often disturbing events reported by former owners, visitors, and researchers. These include sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), strange creatures resembling those described in Native American folklore, mysterious lights, and unexplained cattle mutilations. The site is named after the skinwalker, a shape-shifting entity from Navajo legend, which is said to have the ability to transform into various animals.

Hello, this is me from the future! Please excuse the quality of these episodes. They are from a year ago when I was moving studios and didn't have a good recording environment. Soon, in the timeline, my audio quality will pick up again. Support the show for $1 on Patreon for up-to-date shows. Anyway...
What if I told you there is seemingly legitimate evidence that suggests that humans did not evolve on Earth? In this episode, we are going to explore the work of Dr. Ellis Silver and his alternative view of the human narrative.
Is it possible Earth is some prison planet for us? Perhaps we crash-landed here eons ago and never were able to leave. What about human biology could even make someone think something so ridiculous at a surface level? Well, things are rarely, if ever, what they seem at face value, and human establishments have lied to their citizenry since the dawn of time. Is it possible the narrative of human history is horrifically incorrect? Let's look into the evidence and see if there is any legitimacy to his claims in part two of HUMANS ARE NOT FROM EARTH!
