In Episode 555: Dreamscape Recruitment, we delve into the chilling tale of Jarrod and his haunting encounters with a mysterious visitor in his dreams. We explore the possibility that this visitor in his dreams was nothing ordinary but rather an otherworldly entity, perhaps even the devil himself, breaching the bounds of consciousness. This entity was showing Jarrod occult and demonic symbolism and would ask him what it meant to him. Jarrod had no idea what those symbols were until he looked them up and started learning about them. What was the purpose behind these dreams? Was it a plan to get Jarrod to simply start studying the occult in hopes to catch his interest? Or was it a vetting process, testing him for a possible future invitation to embrace this entity? But we start the episode as Jarrod recounts a wild encounter during a Machine Gun Kelly concert that echoes the experience shared by James in Episode 512: Dessert Portal Death Cult. Jarrod had missing time and an absolutely bizarre experience that he comes to share with us today!

Ceasar shares a story that has some shadows of Charlie's story from Episode 122: Secret Military Enochian Technology such as the oddities of circulating around him filling out his "dream sheet" of what he would like to do most while he serves. He ends up getting stationed in Antarctica and from there, things get outright weird for him. He talks about finding himself in President Bush's limo, having reptilian roommates, time travel, portal entries, underwater bases, working with greys, and much more. Today, Ceasar is still dealing with some issues post-military service as he believes he has a handler that follows him around, essentially gangstalking him to which the purpose is unknown. But before he walks us into all this, he lays the foundation of his childhood where he was sent to a nunnery, and how that experience might play a foundational role in his life direction.

We talk about how Project Blue Beam could play into the future of UAP sightings and collective consciousness.

He shares how when he was a child he and his brother saw a horned entity in their bedroom but what his brother saw was a little more than a child would have to experience. We venture into a topic of conversation where we discuss where these beings are coming from and how are they getting here. Could it be portals? Could their very makeup be a type of portal to traverse between realms? Could the human mind be a portal into other realms?  We discuss all this in today’s member episode.

In Episode 540: Portals To Hell & Biblical Super Soldiers we are joined by Bishop Alan Didio! I first came across the Bishop on his Instagram reels where he was talking about portals to hell, monsters in the Bible, and end-times prophecies. Since then he has got even more popular and I couldn’t wait any longer to get him on the show. Though we didn’t hit on everything I planned on we went deep on portals to hell, biblical super soldiers, Enoch, what heaven will be like, supernatural powers, and miraculous healings. Next time we have him on we will hit on end times prophecies, Revelation, biblical monsters, A.I., and transhumanism because Bishop Didio has an opinion on all of it!

Lastly, we talk about my trip out west trying to hunt down the bigfoot and a location we have been given where there is a bigfoot buried and waiting to be exhumed. 

In Episode 536: Hunting Down Bigfoot we are giving you a swapcast with one of my best friends, Wes Germer, from Sasquatch Chronicles. Last week I had the pleasure of taking my Merkel Media film team out to Washington to try and track down the illusive bigfoot.

We spent several nights in the dark forests of the Pacific Northwest and Wes and I sit down to talk about it and the experiences me and my team had out there.
