Big Pharma. The deep state. The crisis actors. Alien life. Spy agencies and cover ups. Whatever it is, award winning journo Richard Baker and Dr Nick Coatsworth are your guides on the search for the kernel of truth.

 

Conspiracies are everywhere right now. But, we don’t peddle theories, we go to their point of origin and follow the breadcrumbs to sort the bullsh*t from the verified, while keeping an open mind to things that can’t be explained.

 

Rich has spent years exposing the crooked and corrupt, and Nick has copped death threats from people who thought he was one of THEM. They know what real cover-ups look like, and they also know what happens when paranoia meets the algorithm.

 

Sometimes the conspiracy is real. Sometimes it's designed to sell you on something. Often, it's both.

 

Our mission is to entertain and inform. Rather than condemn and judge.

Within weeks, his bank — a merchant institution with branches in Chiang Mai, Taipei, Saudi Arabia, and almost nowhere you'd expect an Australian bank to be — had collapsed. Millions were missing. His business partner, a former Green Beret with documented CIA connections, vanished without a trace. And the list of names on the bank's letterhead read less like a board of directors and more like a who's who of American intelligence.


Frank Nugan's death was ruled a suicide. Michael Hand was never found. The money was never recovered. And somehow, despite a royal commission, a congressional inquiry, and decades of investigative journalism, the full story of Nugan Hand Bank has never quite made it into the mainstream. In this episode, Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth follow the money — from the heroin fields of the Golden Triangle to the back channels of Cold War geopolitics — and ask whether what collapsed in 1980 was a bank, a front, or something far more deliberate.


- Frank Nugan's death, the scene, the rifle, the business card, and why the suicide ruling has never sat comfortably

- Michael Hand, who he actually was, what the CIA has ever admitted, and how a man simply disappears in 1980

- The branch network, what an Australian merchant bank was doing in the world's most sensitive intelligence hotspots

- The names on the letterhead — Admiral Earl Yates, William Colby, and what their involvement tells us about who this bank was really serving

- The heroin connection, the Golden Triangle, and the long-standing allegation that Nugan Hand was financing covert operations with drug money

- Why Australia's royal commission found what it found, and what it pointedly didn't look for


Some of this is documented. Some remains classified. None of it has ever been fully resolved.

The FBI seized his files within hours. His nephew was told they'd found nothing of interest. A government physicist was quietly brought in to review the "death ray" papers. And somewhere along the way, a question started circulating that has never quite gone away: did the US government let Nikola Tesla die, or did they help him along?


In this episode, Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth go back to Room 3327 and ask what the official record actually tells us — and what it doesn't.


  • The death itself, the timeline, the hotel maid who found him, and what the scene actually looked like
  • The file seizure, who moved, how fast, and what "Alien Property" really meant in wartime America
  • The death ray, what Tesla's teleforce weapon actually was, how close he'd gotten, and who wanted it
  • John Trump's assessment, what he told the FBI, and whether anyone believed him
  • The free energy question, the theory that suppression of Tesla's work didn't start when he died, and what that has to do with his final years of poverty
  • Why the official story has always felt just slightly too tidy, and what remains, to this day, unaccounted for


Some of this is documented. Some remains classified. None of it has ever been fully resolved.

Which of these three could it possibly be!


Harold Holt had been Prime Minister for less than two years. He was an experienced ocean swimmer. And in the months before he disappeared, Australia was navigating one of the most politically sensitive periods in its history. Vietnam was escalating, Pine Gap was being quietly negotiated, and the relationship between Canberra and Washington was more complicated than the public knew.


Then he went for a swim at Cheviot Beach, and was gone.


What followed was one of the strangest episodes in Australian political history. No body was ever recovered. The inquest took decades to happen. And somewhere along the way, a theory emerged, that Holt hadn't drowned at all, but had been extracted by a Chinese submarine.


In this episode, Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth go back to Cheviot Beach and ask what the official record actually tells us - and what it doesn't.


  • The disappearance itself, the timeline, the witnesses, and what the conditions were actually like that day
  • Harold Holt and the Americans, his relationship with LBJ, Pine Gap, and the geopolitical backdrop to his final months in office
  • The Chinese submarine theory, where it came from, who's argued for it, and why it's never been fully put to rest
  • The intelligence files - what ASIO and the CIA held, and what became of the paperwork
  • The body that was never found, and what that may or or may not tell us
  • Why Australia moved on so quickly, a state memorial with no coffin, a new PM within days, and very few official questions asked


Some of this is documented. Some remains classified. None of it has ever been fully resolved.

Or are they....


In 1938, Adolf Hitler sent an expedition to Antarctica. They mapped the terrain, claimed a chunk of it for the Reich, and called it Neuschwabenland. Then the war started, and the story gets buried.


Fast forward to 1946. The US Navy launches Operation Highjump - the largest Antarctic expedition in history. Admiral Byrd leads 4,700 men, 13 ships, and 33 aircraft to the most remote continent on Earth. The mission is supposed to last eight months. It's abandoned in eight weeks. Byrd never fully explains why.


Rumour has it that Hitler fled to Antarctica, is that what Byrd and his men were looking for?


Then there's the ice itself. Beneath Antarctica's surface sit gravitational anomalies so massive and so strange that scientists still can't agree on what's causing them. Some say it's geology. Some say it's something buried. And some people - a lot of people - think the two stories are connected.


In this episode, Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth head to the bottom of the world and ask the questions the official record doesn't answer.


  • The 1938 Nazi expedition to Antarctica - what they were looking for, what they found, and why it mattered enough to send a fleet
  • Base 211 - the alleged secret Nazi base built beneath the ice, and the post-war disappearances that keep the theory alive
  • Operation Highjump - why the world's most powerful navy turned around and went home, and what Admiral Byrd said in the press afterwards
  • The Antarctic Treaty of 1959 - who signed it, what it restricts, and why so many nations agreed so quickly to keep the continent off-limits
  • The gravity anomalies - what's actually sitting under the ice sheet, and why the explanations don't quite add up


Some of this is on the record. Some of it isn't. None of it has ever been fully explained. Join Rich and Nick as they try to figure out what - or who - the world's governments don't want you to find at the bottom of the Earth.

Since the 1970s, thousands of livestock have been found dead across the US with surgical-precision wounds, missing organs, and zero evidence of predators or human activity. Then there's Skinwalker Ranch - a stretch of Utah land so plagued by unexplained phenomena that the US government quietly studied it for years. UFOs, poltergeists, invisible predators, cattle mutilations. All on one property.


In this episode, we explore:


- Why cattle mutilations show no signs of predation, no blood, and cuts that baffle veterinary pathologists

- The FBI's own investigation into mutilations in the 1970s - and why it went nowhere

- Skinwalker Ranch: the history, the Sherman family's terrifying experiences, and the secret government research program known as NIDS

- The Hitchhiker Effect - claims that paranormal activity follows researchers home from the ranch

- Indigenous Navajo and Ute legends of the Skinwalker - and why locals refuse to set foot on the property

- What's the most credible explanation: predators and misidentification, black ops military experiments, or something stranger?


Join hosts Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth as they head out to the strangest piece of real estate on the planet - and try to figure out who, or what, is carving up the cattle.

4500 BCE, advanced civilization appeared virtually overnight in Mesopotamia. The Sumerians developed writing, complex mathematics, astronomical charts, and sophisticated architecture with no apparent predecessor cultures. Some claim this wasn't evolution - it was a reset. A remnant of lost advanced knowledge, or even extra-terrestrial intervention.


In this episode, we explore:


- Why Sumerian civilization seemingly emerged fully formed with no developmental period

- The Anunnaki myths and ancient astronaut theories popularized by Zecharia Sitchin

- Advanced astronomical knowledge - how did ancient Sumerians know about planets not visible to the naked eye?

- Cuneiform tablets describing genetic manipulation and 'gods from the sky'

Göbekli Tepe and evidence of pre-Sumerian advanced cultures

- What really explains Sumer's rapid advancement - lost civilizations, aliens, or selective archaeology?


Join hosts Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth as they investigate whether human civilization was reset, or if we're seeing pattern-seeking in ancient ruins.

Sov cits are comin' for the government.


Armed with YouTube legal advice and a creative interpretation of the Magna Carta, sovereign citizens believe they've found the ultimate life hack: opting out of government authority entirely. From roadside confrontations that go viral to courtroom stunts that baffle judges, the movement blends DIY micronations, medieval English law, and maritime conspiracy theories into a legal philosophy that occasionally ends in tragedy.


In this episode, we explore:


  • The origins of the sovereign citizen movement and its bizarre interpretation of the Magna Carta
  • How "free men on the land" believe they can reject taxes, licenses, and court jurisdiction through magic words
  • Real micronations like Sealand and Hutt River Province - are they legitimate or elaborate performance art?
  • High-profile cases where sovereign citizen tactics derailed trials and endangered lives
  • The connection between sovereign citizens and far-right extremism, militia movements, and anti-government violence
  • Why admiralty law, gold-fringed flags, and birth certificates feature in their conspiracy worldview
  • Whether there's any legitimate grievance buried beneath the legal gibberish


Join hosts Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth as they examine whether sovereign citizens have uncovered a genuine legal loophole or constructed an alternate reality where saying "I do not consent" actually works.


The Conspiracy Cabal doesn't promote conspiracy theories - we examine them. We search for the kernel of truth in every story, exploring how conspiracies start, why they persist, and what drives people to believe them.

We hope the answer is no, but you should listen to this episode either way.


From patent games to profit margins that make tech monopolies blush, the pharmaceutical industry has been accused of putting shareholder returns ahead of patient lives for decades. But is Big Pharma actively suppressing a cure for cancer to protect their treatment goldmine?


In this episode, we investigate:


  • The economics of cancer treatment versus cure - follow the money trail through oncology patents and revenue models
  • Real cases where pharmaceutical companies buried cheaper alternatives or delayed generic competition
  • Mel Gibson's claims about pharmaceutical industry corruption and what evidence supports (or contradicts) them
  • How cancer research funding actually works and who controls what gets investigated
  • The difference between profit-driven delays and an actual conspiracy to suppress cures
  • Why breakthrough treatments sometimes take decades to reach patients despite promising trial results
  • The role of regulatory capture and revolving doors between Big Pharma and government agencies


Join hosts Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth as they separate genuine pharmaceutical industry failures from fantasy, examining what the evidence actually reveals about corporate incentives, medical research, and whether your chemotherapy is profitable by design.

From a working-class background on Coney Island to mansions in Manhattan, Florida, and his private island in the Caribbean, Jeffrey Epstein built an empire of abuse protected by powerful men across Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and perhaps even the British Royal Family. His 2019 death in prison left more questions than answers, and the recent release of over 3 million documents from his files has reignited one of the darkest scandals of our time.


In this episode, we explore:


  • How Epstein rose from math teacher to billionaire money manager through connections and manipulation
  • The network of elite men who associated with him before and after his 2008 child sex conviction
  • Whether the scandal validates QAnon's theory of a global elite paedophile ring
  • Evidence suggesting possible intelligence agency connections to Mossad, Russian, or American services
  • Why powerful figures continued partying with Epstein after his criminal conviction
  • The mysterious circumstances of his death - suicide or murder?


Join hosts Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth as they examine the kernels of truth in the conspiracy theories surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and what his story reveals about elite networks, institutional failure, and the Deep State.

In this episode, we explore:


  • Eyewitness accounts from students who saw the craft up close
  • The mysterious 'radiation burns' suffered by student Tanya
  • Why authorities allegedly silenced witnesses and confiscated evidence
  • The role of researcher Shane Ryan in validating witness testimonies
  • Comparisons to Project Blue Book and other major UFO sightings
  • What really happened at Westall - aliens, military testing, or mass hysteria?
