Opioids, he explained, are strong opium-like pain relievers that include some 50 different compounds such as Fentanyl, OxyContin, Demerol, Dilaudid, Vicodin, codeine, morphine, Percodan, and Percoset. Aside from illegal trafficking, in 2015, some 90 million adults in the US took a legally prescribed opioid-- so this is gigantic in terms of the dangers of addiction, and overdose, as well as the drugs serving as a gateway to heroin if users get cut off, he remarked. Conversely, people in genuine pain sometimes have trouble getting prescriptions because there's been a crackdown by some doctors, he added. Get the full recap here.

The US has killed over a million people in collateral damage in conflicts in such places as Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and the Sudan, he contended, and often seeks out regime change in foreign nations in order to get them to comply with corporate interests in their resources.

Could Advanced Aliens Exist?
A senior scientist at Fermilab, the US' premier particle physics laboratory, Don Lincoln splits his research time between the Fermilab Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider, based at CERN in Europe. In the first half of Tuesday's show , he discussed the scientific possibility of whether advanced alien civilizations exist, the nature of our vast universe, as well as the latest evidence of the Higgs boson, the so-called God particle. He finds it unlikely that life elsewhere in the universe would look anything like humans-- aliens might have radical physical differences from us based on the kind of atmosphere and temperature they live in. Reviewing the evidence for alien visitation to Earth, Lincoln remains skeptical, and noted that the 1947 Roswell incident occurred shortly after the publicity of the Kenneth Arnold sighting of 'flying saucers,' and didn't really get much media traction until the 1970s.

Laird Scranton is the author of a series of books and other writings on ancient cosmology and language. In the latter half of Tuesday's show , he shared compelling perspectives on how our universe and the dimensions of time and space are believed to emerge from a non-material place, and how seemingly scientific archaic concepts formed an enduring foundation for ancient and modern religion. The Dogon, a priestly tribe from Mali, Africa, has a culture that combines elements from at least three different ancient traditions-- rituals of Judaism, practices of ancient Egypt, and a symbolic cosmology that is a close match for Buddhism, he detailed. One of the intriguing things about the Dogon is that though they were non-technological, they knew about the binary Sirius star system, which would seemingly be impossible to individuate the second star without a telescope.

PhiPobNL
A series of strange deaths over the last week have left a village in Thailand suspecting that a notorious ghost may be lurking in their community. Since October 29th, four men, a handful of household pets, and even a buffalo have died under mysterious circumstances which some residents believe could be supernatural in nature. Specifically, they worry that the spate of deaths were caused by an infamous Thai ghost known as a 'phi pob,' a particularly pernicious female spirit that feasts on the organs of its victims.

ElephantHerdNL
A safari group visiting a game reserve in South Africa were likely feeling vastly outnumbered when they encountered a herd of unfriendly elephants that seemingly challenged them to a showdown. Although it initially appeared as if the gathering was simply crossing the road in front of them, things soon took a worrisome turn for the tourists. Despite reassurances from the safari guide that they were safe, the vacationers were no doubt wondering if they should have gone to Disney World instead as the herd turned its attention towards their van. Check out the amazing and somewhat unsettling video here.

The lowering of cholesterol and the corresponding statin drugs, which have been touted as the greatest health invention of the 20th and 21st century, "turns out to be the greatest killer," he declared, adding that low cholesterol is what causes Alzheimer's, as the connective in the brain is greatly composed of cholesterol. When it comes to the problem of scoliosis (curvature of the spine), one of the techniques he's found to be helpful is to hang people upside down on inversion tables. More here.

Patty Greer researches and has visited more than 100 crop circles. In the latter half of Wednesday's show , she shared the latest in crop formation research, which she believes demonstrates that crop circles are rising from the Earth in counter-rotating plasma vortices. The Earth herself, she asserted, uses this method to communicate through sacred symbols such as mandalas, and ancient codes that compress massive amounts of information into small bits. Crop circles, she continued, leave more evidence than any UFO phenomena, with biophysical changes observable in the plant nodes. Get the full recap here. Dead Grasshopper Discovered in Van Gogh Painting: VanGoghCricketNL An examination of Van Gogh works at a Kansas City museum yielded a surprising find when one worker spotted the body of a grasshopper embedded in one of the legendary artist's paintings.

TV Psychics Under Fire in Russia: PsychicCrystalBallNLx The popularity of paranormal TV programs in Russia has raised the ire of the country's skeptics and scientists who are crying foul over some psychics' newfound celebrity. Over the last few years, shows such as the awesome-sounding 'Battle of the Clairvoyants' have captivated Russian TV viewers and have turned some of the participants into household names, much to the chagrin of critics who say that the programs are misleading the public about the powers purportedly being displayed by self-described psychics.

Did Hitler Find a Way to Escape?
In the first half of Thursday's show , researcher Jerome Corsi discussed his recent work exploring the historical possibility that Hitler escaped Nazi Germany at the end of World War II. Recently released CIA documents indicate that the US government took seriously reports that Hitler had escaped to Argentina. The official story is that as the Russians were approaching, Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945 along with his new bride Eva Braun, taking cyanide capsules in their underground bunker, and then they were cremated and placed in a shallow grave. The Russians were said to do an autopsy, along with looking at dental records, and announced that Hitler was indeed dead. Yet, the people who were still in the bunker when the Russians arrived all had contradictory stories, Corsi noted. Read the full recap here.

A truly bizarre mystery has captivated Kenyans after an enigmatic individual appeared on TV claiming to have been the eyewitness to two different fatal accidents in just a handful of days. The weird saga began back in late October when Dennis Muigai Ngengi was interviewed by a newscast covering a helicopter crash that killed five people.

Forecasting America With Demographics
Marketing expert Ken Gronbach described how he uses demographics to navigate the many landscapes that will define what the United States will look like over the next 30 years. In the first half on Monday, he explained how to make important decisions about where to live, careers, and investments. Gronbach began with a discussion of China/ North Korea/ U.S. dynamics and how population is the driving force behind the strength of nations. In the 1970s, the U.S. convinced China to adopt a "one child only" policy, which Gronbach says has left too few taxpayers and workers to support the aging population and the economy. He believes that China will cut a deal with the U.S. to control North Korea so that they can remain our major trading partner. See the full story here.

In the second half on Monday, she discussed her years working in the ICU as a nurse and the many near death experiences (NDEs) that happened to her patients. An encounter with a dying man disturbed her so much that she began a quest to understand death, and embarked on a five-year project to ask patients what they experienced if they had been close to death and recovered. Most of those she questioned could not remember anything, but a significant minority described what has come to be known as the "classic" NDE. See the full recap here.

Author and educator Gary Collins was a former special agent for the FDA investigating food and drug crimes and public health dangers including counterfeit prescription drugs and pet food. In the second half, he'll address his life off the grid, and how simplicity is the most futuristic way to optimize health and well-being, as opposed to relying on more and more technology.
