AREA 52 PODCAST

In the 1950’s, science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard released a self-help type book called Dianetics that became the outline and basis for the religious movement Scientology, which has now grown into a hugely wealthy, powerful, and some say sinister, organization. With accusations of kidnapping, abuse, neglect, harassment, bullying, assault and missing people, many ex-members who have allege...

This week, we discuss a few recent documentaries that we’ve watched. First, we discuss the recent History Channel special that provided evidence and proposed that instead of crashing into the ocean, Amelia Earhart actually landed her plane in the Marshall Islands and was captured and ultimately executed by the Japanese and that maybe the United States knew about it the whole time. We also ta...

National Parks are amazing, beautiful places that are visited by millions of people every year, but some of those people never leave. And while many of these disappearances are easily explained, quite a few are unexplained and some may even say creepy. Things like small children disappearing, sometimes right out from under their parent’s noses and having their remains found miles away at the...

In 1947, a UFO allegedly crashed in the desert of Roswell, New Mexico and, according to the legends, the United States military took the crashed disc and alien bodies back to Area 51 and spent the next few decades backwards engineering the alien technology and advanced themselves beyond imagination. From countless ex-government officials and military personnel who have come forward, to a British h...

In August of 1997, a car entered a tunnel in Paris, France but it never came out. It struck a pillar inside the tunnel, killing 3 of its 4 inhabitants and leaving behind a world in shock and questions that still remain unanswered today. This, of course, was the day Princess Diana, a woman who was loved the world over, a humanitarian and philanthropist, died tragically at the age of 37 in a horribl...

In June of 1994, two people were murdered in an upscale neighborhood in Los Angeles. The murders were horrific and violent and gained the attention of the entire world because the main suspect was beloved athlete and movie star, OJ Simpson.

Throughout history, humans have evolved and adapted to different climates and circumstances, and even to this day, our genes are still evolving and, in some cases, even mutating. Some of these mutations have resulted in conditions that we commonly see and think nothing of, like redheads or albinos, but these conditions weren’t always, and in some cases, still aren’t accepted. From redh...

In the summer of 2008, a young girl was reported missing, and ultimately found dead, in Orlando, Florida. Her name was Caylee Anthony. Her mother, Casey, became the center of not only the police investigation, but the center of attention and rage for the entire nation. Her actions, stories and accusations enraged and frustrated everyone following the case, from lying about fake nannies and jobs to...

In the fall of 1888, 5 women were killed and mutilated on the streets of the ‘White Chapel District,’ of London. Their deaths, while not uncommon, were extra violent and some say even ritualistic and would lead police, investigators and unsolved crime enthusiasts on an over century-long wild goose chase to try and figure out who did it. http://lennondesignllc.com/wp-content/audio/area-...

It’s hard to imagine that our own government would ever attack us. It’s even harder to believe that they would then blame that attack on someone else in order to further an agenda or gain support for military action, but despite sounding like a bad movie, some people believe that is exactly what has happened to us over and over again. http://lennondesignllc.com/wp-content/audio/area-52...

We know we’re being watched. Cameras are everywhere and our entire lives are posted online for everyone to see, but do you know how invasive it really is? From surveillance of every email, phone call, google search to facial recognition and license plate tracking, the government can follow your every move. And it’s all legal. http://lennondesignllc.com/wp-content/audio/area-52/area52-e...

Thing happen! But what about when things happen that seem almost too weird or good to be true? Throughout history, there have been countless incidents that seem to suggest that the world isn’t just a series of random events. From twins growing up separately but living the exact same lives to a man being a safety net for multiple falling babies, are this just dumb luck, evidence of our lives...

What if Morpheus from the Matrix was right? What if everything around us, everything we knew, was all a giant and complex simulation run by our more advanced, post-human descendants?
