Conspiracy theories aren’t just barstool banter anymore—sometimes, they’re uncomfortably real. On this episode of Strange Planet, host Richard Syrett welcomes Shane Skwarek and Tim Philipps, the razor-sharp minds behind Cocktails & Conspiracies. With 30 years of digging into the world’s biggest mysteries, these New Jersey realists don’t just chase shadows—they dissect them. From debunking the Zodiac Killer as a media-spun myth to uncovering Shakespeare as a front for Edward de Vere’s royal scandal, they wield Occam’s Razor to cut through the noise. But the moon? That’s where things get murky—landing hoaxes and hollow theories leave even these skeptics questioning. Tune in as they reveal surprising truths, wrestle with cosmic cover-ups, and share why some conspiracies hit too close to home. Pour a drink and join the unraveling—because the simplest explanation might just blow your mind. GUEST: Shane Skwarek: Tech-whiz and conspiracy realist, Shane’s spent three decades peeling back the layers of the world’s strangest tales. Co-host of Cocktails & Conspiracies, he’s the guy who’d rather debug a theory than buy the hype. GUEST: Tim Philipps: Sales-savvy and sharp-eyed, Tim’s 30-year quest for truth pairs perfectly with a stiff drink. Co-creator of Cocktails & Conspiracies, he’s the voice of reason who knows some secrets are too good to stay buried.

• 1178 CIA Kill List: Is a Journalist’s Exile the Price of Exposing a Pandemic Plot?

  1178 CIA Kill List: Is a Journalist’s Exile the Price of Exposing a Pandemic Plot? Buckle up for a mind-bending descent into the abyss of government overreach and covert vengeance. In this explosive episode, investigative journalist Janet Phelan unveils a jaw-dropping tale of transnational repression that sounds ripped from a dystopian thriller—except she claims it’s her reality. Filing an injunction against the CIA in June 2024, Phelan alleges a relentless campaign of chemical assaults, medical sabotage, and judicial stonewalling by U.S. authorities, all tied to her decades-long probe into judicial corruption and a chilling theory: a hidden pandemic delivery system poised to strike. From the mysterious death of her mother at the hands of an undercover fed to her exile in Mexico, her story is a volatile cocktail of courage, conspiracy, and controversy. Is she a fearless truthteller hunted by the deep state, or a lightning rod for skepticism? One thing’s certain—this episode will leave you questioning where the line between paranoia and persecution truly lies. GUEST: Janet Phelan is an intrepid investigative journalist and author whose relentless pursuit of truth has thrust her into the eye of a storm. With a pedigree from UC Berkeley’s East Asian Studies program and the University of Missouri’s Graduate School of Journalism, her bylines have graced the Los Angeles Times, the San Bernardino County Sentinel, and beyond. Since 2004, she’s carved a niche in independent media, exposing judicial corruption, elder abuse, and shadowy government ops. Her books, including EXILE and At the Breaking Point of History, fuse personal saga with intelligence exposés, predicting pandemics and global conflicts with eerie precision. Now living in Mexico after fleeing the U.S., Phelan has filed a bombshell injunction against the CIA, alleging chemical attacks and systemic silencing. A whistleblower to some, a provocateur to others, she remains a fierce advocate for human rights—and a lightning rod for debate.

  1177 Quantum Faith: Did Jesus Unlock the Secrets of Reality? Get ready for a mind-bending conversation where faith meets quantum physics! Richard Syrett welcomes bestselling author Shilo Creed to explore a radical idea: What if Jesus’ teachings weren’t just metaphors, but literal quantum mechanics in action? Could the Observer Effect explain how faith moves mountains? Is quantum entanglement the key to understanding prayer? And are those in power secretly using these principles to manipulate reality itself? Shilo’s latest Christian sci-fi thriller, Plunged (The Three Worlds), dives deep into these questions, following a Navy SEAL who accidentally crosses into a hidden spiritual dimension. From biblical technology to the “God Particle,” this episode uncovers the shocking ways modern physics aligns with ancient scripture. If faith truly shapes reality, what does that mean for the future—and who might be trying to control it? GUEST: Shilo Creed is a bestselling author and multiple gold medal-winning novelist whose books have sold over 1.4 million copies. Blending faith, science, and high-stakes adventure, her work explores the hidden connections between quantum physics, biblical truth, and the supernatural.

• 1175 Unmasking the Climate Hoax: CO2, Lies, and the Fight for Truth

  1175 Unmasking the Climate Hoax: CO2, Lies, and the Fight for Truth For decades, we’ve been fed a dire narrative: climate change will drown us, scorch us, and end life as we know it—all because of CO2. But what if that’s a lie built on shaky science and hidden agendas? In this explosive episode, Richard welcomes geologist and CO2 Coalition Executive Director Gregory Wrightstone, author of Inconvenient Facts, who dismantles the climate myth machine. He reveals how the EPA’s Endangerment Finding strangles industries like coal and manufacturing, how flawed models exaggerate disaster, and why rising CO2 is actually greening the planet and boosting crops—not destroying it. From the economic wreckage of anti-fossil fuel policies to the political weaponization of science, Gregory exposes the elites’ push for control under the guise of saving Earth. Tired of fear-driven propaganda? Want hard data over hysteria? This is the unfiltered truth they don’t want you to hear! GUEST: Gregory Wrightstone is a geologist with over 35 years of experience studying Earth’s processes. He holds a B.S. from Waynesburg University and an M.S. from West Virginia University, both in geology. As Executive Director of the CO2 Coalition, he advocates for a science-based approach to climate policy. Wrightstone is the bestselling author of Inconvenient Facts: The Science That Al Gore Doesn’t Want You to Know and A Very Convenient Warming, challenging mainstream climate narratives with data-driven insights. A frequent media guest, he’s appeared on platforms like Fox News and The Daily Wire, emphasizing CO2’s benefits to humanity and the planet.
