#28 | A Conversation on Plasma Consciousness with Dana Kippel

In this episode of Hard Truths, special guest Dana Kippel explores plasma as more than a physical state of matter, examining its potential role as a fundamental medium underlying reality, consciousness, and unexplained phenomena. The conversation challenges conventional physics by revisiting sidelined ideas such as radiant matter, the ether, and plasma cosmology, and asks whether key frameworks were abandoned rather than resolved. It also examines why many UFO and UAP sightings may be better understood as self-organizing plasma phenomena, rather than mechanical craft. Beyond physics, Dana connects plasma to non-local consciousness, information fields, and human perception, suggesting that modern science may be missing the medium that links mind, matter, and energy. Rather than focusing on external disclosure narratives, the discussion emphasizes human agency, suppressed lines of inquiry, and the limits of current scientific models. This episode offers a systems-level perspective on what may have been left out of modern physics and why it matters.

#27 | Where are the ALIENS, SETI, AI, and the Breakaway Civilization | Hard Truth w Wyatt Meldman-Floch

Wyatt Meldman-Floch joins Hard Truths The conversation explores: * The search for alien life. Are we looking the right way? * How centralized infrastructure quietly enables market manipulation and information asymmetry * Breakaway civilizations and how transparency-first networks shift that power balance * How Reality’s global DEX removes control points used to suppress technology and steer markets Wyatt breaks down RealityNet with Ashton Forbes as a new truth layer for the internet, inspired by Bitcoin’s core insight: remove trusted intermediaries and let cryptography decide. Apps on Reality run on decentralized compute across home computers and laptops, with devices operating peer-to-peer to keep the network alive. Consensus emerges from the geometry of the network, drawing on principles from physics and sacred geometry to organize information and time without centralized control. The result is a new layer of the decentralized internet. One where corporations stop renting us trust, and participant-owned community networks take their place. Reality also introduces a global decentralized exchange, enabling atomic swaps between any digital currencies. Because its consensus can directly observe other blockchains, markets can coordinate without wrappers, custodians, or hidden intermediaries. At its core, Reality returns crypto to its cypherpunk roots, where truth emerges from code, participation, and shared ownership rather than authority. Anyone can participate today by mining $NET on testnet with the Reality Portal app on Windows, Mac, or Linux. Download it, run a node and help build this revolutionary network.

#25 | Inside Black Projects: Energy, UFOs, and Control with lan Crossland

On this episode of Hard Truths, Ashton Forbes sits down with Ian Crossland for a candid conversation about the intersection of UFOs, plasma technology, and black projects. We dive into the possibility that some UAP sightings could be explained by plasma drones and hidden energy systems, and explore whether fusion and zero-point energy breakthroughs are being withheld from the public. The discussion goes beyond technology into questions of control, secrecy, and disclosure. Why certain discoveries remain classified, how narratives are shaped, and what the implications could be for freedom, security, and the future of humanity. If you’re interested in suppressed science, UFOs, and the hidden forces behind national security, this episode offers perspectives you won’t hear in mainstream discussions.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
