In this powerful episode, acclaimed filmmaker and whistleblower Mark Vicente—director of the groundbreaking documentary What the Bleep Do We Know!?—joins Joel and Yerasimos to peel back the layers of cult dynamics, media manipulation, and the human psyche. Mark shares his riveting journey out of NXIVM, the infamous self-help organization that devolved into a web of coercion, blackmail, and branding. With raw honesty, he reveals how curiosity and self-reflection helped him break free from the grip of manipulation, as well as the pivotal role his wife played in exposing the truth and encouraging his awakening.

Together, the trio explores the universal patterns of control used by cults, governments, and media, drawing chilling parallels between them. They delve into the psychological need for certainty, the dangers of externalizing discomfort, and the transformative power of questioning beliefs. Mark’s deep insights into personal growth and authenticity, combined with his firsthand experiences as a whistleblower, provide a profound lens through which to examine the lies we’ve been sold and the truths we must reclaim. This episode is a compelling call to awaken, to challenge mainstream narratives, and to reclaim agency in the face of manipulation.

In this gripping episode, John Hamer unpacks the mysteries surrounding Princess Diana’s death, inviting us to question everything we thought we knew. Was Diana’s car crash truly an accident, or part of a calculated scheme to silence her? With chilling details like Diana's own premonitions of a staged accident and eerie shifts in security protocols, John leads us through a maze of unsettling “coincidences.” Expanding on this, he connects Diana’s case to an even broader landscape of power manipulation, touching on JFK’s assassination and the hidden forces behind it. Together with Joel and Yerasimos, John challenges us to reconsider who really holds power and what lengths they might go to in order to maintain it. This episode promises to leave you questioning history, authority, and the narratives that shape our world.
