(Episode order to be determined.)

9/11
Jesse Ventura steps into America’s most controversial conspiracy by challenging the 9/11 Commission report and considering evidence that the September 11th attacks were an inside job. At the urging of victims’ families, he finds witnesses who claim the towers were brought down by revolutionary explosives that were placed in plain sight of everyone, but no one knew what they were. Ventura also hears from those who claim the missing black box flight recorders were actually recovered. And he is told a shocking story about who may have been in the cockpits before the jets took off.

Featured Experts and Eyewitnesses: William Rodriguez , former World Trade Center janitor who said he felt bombs exploding from below seconds before the plane hit building one; physicist Steven Jones, who says he found evidence of bomb material (thermite) in the residue from Ground Zero; explosives expert Van Romero, who performed a test purported to show that liquid thermite can make steel girders burn hotter and faster; demolition expert Brent Blanchard, who says that no inspection for explosive materials was done at the scene; former Air Force pilot Jeff Dahlstrom, who is convinced that that 9/11 was a “false flag” operation carried out to push the country into war; Mike Bellone, a recovery worker at Ground Zero who says that he saw airline flight recorders recovered at the scene; Dale Lindorff who says that the recorders were recovered, inspected and turned over to the FBI; Dale Leppard, a former head of the Airline Pilots Association who insists recorders are always found; and former FBI investigator Jack Cloonan, who disputes claims the recorders were found.

HAARP
In a remote region of Alaska, a special government research center is said to be testing radio waves that some believe are being developed as a potential weapon. If true, some say these radio waves could do everything from change the weather to control people’s minds. Jesse Ventura and his team head to Alaska to investigate, but are stopped at the gate of the facility, unable to enter and see its real purpose first-hand. They also talk to a scientist who demonstrates how radio waves can be used to literally move clouds.

Featured Experts and Eyewitnesses: Jerry Smith, author of HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy; Dr. Brooks Agnew, a physicist who believes he accidentally triggered an earthquake by using radio waves to locate underground oil; Dr. Roger Smith, director of the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, which coordinates research at the HAARP facility in Gakona, Alaska; Dr. Nick Begich, a native Alaskan and anti-HAARP activist; and Robert Eastlund, the son of Bernard Eastlund, whose ideas were allegedly the catalyst for the creation of HAARP.

Big Brother
Big Brother may be watching, but it’s not who most people think. Jesse Ventura’s investigation of government surveillance on its citizens uncovers a nationwide program that allegedly turns local businessmen and office workers into spies, snooping on their neighbors and ratting on their friends in exchange for information and special privileges from the FBI. Some even claim those special privileges include a “license to kill.”

Featured Experts and Eyewitnesses: Jeff Dahlstrom, a former U.S. Air Force pilot who has dedicated his life to uncovering the truth about 9/11; Katherine Albrecht, a popular media commentator and author of Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Move with RFID; Elwood “Woody” G. Norris, award-winning inventor and technology integrator; Matthew Rothschild; editor of The Progressive magazine, one of the leading voices for peace and social justice; and Tim Shorrock, investigative journalist and author of Spies for Hire: The Secret World of Intelligence Outsourcing.

Global Warming
Whether global warming is real or not, some people may be using the issue to make billions of dollars, start a one-world government and control people’s lives. Jesse Ventura’s deep investigation uncovers evidence that could point to one man being behind an entire global-warming conspiracy.

Featured Experts and Eyewitnesses: Lord Christopher Monckton, British politician, business consultant, policy advisor, writer and inventor who disagrees with mainstream scientific consensus on global warming; Richard Lindzen, atmospheric physicist, professor of meteorology at MIT and author who alleges political pressure on climate scientists; Amit Chaterjee, founder and CEO of Hara Software, an environmental startup backed in part by Al Gore’s venture capital firm; Ben Santer, climate researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; Noel Sheppard, associate editor of NewsBusters.org and outspoken critic of global-warming science; “Dr. X,” an eminent climatologist, who wants to protect his identity for his family’s safety; George Hunt, a UN whistleblower and author; and Martin Durkin, producer and director of the UK Channel 4 documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle.

Secret Societies
As the story goes, the Bilderberg Group is a collection of the world’s elite who meet once a year at a luxury hotel and decide how it will run the world. Their latest alleged plan is to thin out the world’s population through disease…and vaccines. In this stunning episode, Jesse Ventura attempts to infiltrate the Bilderberg Group, expose its well-known members and stop their latest “soft kill” plan before, as Ventura fears, it’s too late.

Featured Experts and Eyewitnesses: Daniel Estulin, author of The True Story of the Bilderbergs; Alex Jones, syndicated radio host and documentary filmmaker; Max Keiser, former Wall Street broker who claims Goldman Sachs used political influence to deliberately crash the market and eliminate competition; and Jim Tucker, author and researcher who has tracked the Bilderbergs for more than 25 years and claims to have crashed several meetings.

Apocalypse 2012
There have been many apocalyptic predictions that the world is heading for disaster in 2012 and that the government is allegedly preparing to save and protect the elite, while leaving all others to fend for themselves. Ventura goes in search of the alleged Top Secret underground bunkers being built in places ranging from the Nevada desert to the White House. He even explores evidence that the largest such bunker is now under construction in a major metropolitan area, hidden in plain sight.

Featured Experts and Eyewitnesses: Lawrence Joseph, author of Apocalypse 2012 and former chairman of an advanced plasma physics research and development company; Larry Hall, owner of a what he describes as “a 14-story survival condo,” where he says he has a waiting list of buyers willing to plunk down $2 million a piece; Jay Weidner, a conspiracy researcher who says a secret, bunker exists underneath one of the mid-West’s largest international airports; Patrick Geryl, leader of a 300-person survival group with plans of heading to Africa in 2012; George Green, a former corporate banker and high-ranking military serviceman who claims to have been involved with the building of these underground bases.

Manchurian Candidates
Authors and experts warn that they believe forces within the government have revived a program that uses mind control techniques to turn ordinary citizens into programmed assassins. This real-life “Manchurian Candidate” scheme seems outlandish, until Jesse Ventura tracks down the evidence of how it is supposedly being done. He even goes face-to-face with a man who claims he’s one of the killers.

Featured Experts and Eyewitnesses: Psychiatrist Colin Ross, an expert in Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) (aka split personality); General Albert Stubblebine, former commanding general of the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command; David Corso, who claims to have been a part of Project Talent, allegedly a top-secret, experimental military program that sought to create “super soldiers”; Duncan O’Finioian, who says that after a car accident, he regained memories of being programmed as part of Project Talent; and hypnotist James Kellog. Also included are interviews with a DID patient and a self-described expert on real life “Manchurian Candidates.”
