The etymology of “discourage” is de-hearted — courage taken away. Four ways to get it back, why platforms aren’t witness, and an original closing song.
Crystal Clear proves again how delusional she is on this episode where she waxes philosophic on the word discourage — cor, Latin for heart, so to discourage is to take the heart out, and to encourage is to put it back.
Four ways to re-heart that aren’t the kitten-on-a-blanket poster version:
Anger over reassurance — indignation re-hearts faster than “you can do it,” and it’s why “you can’t” sometimes works better.
Find a witness — courage is partly social, which is the whole problem with what platforms sell as witness.One small concrete move — the next single step shrinks the mountain back to a molehill.Reconnect to the stakes — discouragement is usually the stakes dimming. Remember what you refuse to lose.Plus: aim the anger somewhere that moves. The open records requests still outstanding — OSU (filed Feb 23) and the Stony Brook FOIL on the 2007 Morgellons research — and an invitation to file your own.
Closing original song "Collections"— claps in triplets, a sleepy acoustic loop, and a lyrical thesis on why there’s no influencer presence here: no name in the public domain, but in the private sphere I have no fear. They capitalize on all of our lives. They need us more than we need them.
For the SEO demons I love so much: Morgellons, More Morgellons podcast, Crystal Clear, etymology of courage, discouragement, FOIA, FOIL request, open records at OSU Tulsa, Stony Brook NY Morgellons research, platform capture, attention economy, why I have no social media but still somehow manage to be the most self-absorbed humanborg on the planet, and original music by The Worms.
“We can’t say no to pain, but we can say no to suffering. I can transmute fear into anger and isolation into connection.”

Crystal provides the recipe for living with the terror of morgellons. She didn’t make this recipe up, she pulled it from God’s cook book and scrambles up the cortisol omelette into something that can actually feed your spirit, body and mind the peace it needs.

A listener returns to the show and pulls a fiber out of a factory-sealed package. Science pulls a “consistent with” out of its ass. Only one of those folks is being honest.
Also, Crystal's baaack, and I'm open the only sane way: with Ren calling in at 9:30am holding a mystery fiber and the question every exiled patient eventually screams into the void. No diagnosis, no PhD cosplay — just two hella sexy middle-aged hotties who actually have this thing ... proving that you can have morgs and a life. But part of that life requires people practice. I know, you might be out of practice, but maybe today you pick up the phone, go for the walk, say something to a stranger. That helps this more than anything, so CC says. Thus, Healing first. Receipts second.
Then Crystal sharpens the knives. Thirty years, six continents, identical symptom, zero shared telephone game — and somehow the verdict was “mass hysteria”? Bestie, hysteria needs a group chat. We put the CDC’s “unexplained dermopathy” under the lamp, where “consistent with cotton” turns out to be the lab-coat version of a suppressed fart, and the raw spectra that’d settle the mystery for some reason mysteriously never got published. And our physical fibers under intact skin sits there being rude and real while everyone calls it a belief we have or a feeling. Bruh, it's a photograph.
We don’t claim to know the cause. We claim somebody got handed an object, refused to name it, and then billed us, defamed us and exiled us for the audacity of asking.
“Consistent with cotton. It’s consistent with cowardice.” -C.C.

A guy walks into a hardware store with vinegar, borax, copper mesh, a propane torch, and tweezers. If you have Morgellons, you know exactly what he’s building — and exactly why he can’t tell the kid in the orange vest. This episode opens with that scene, then goes somewhere most coverage of Morgellons disease refuses to go: the staged, recognizable progression of what people think they have before they arrive at Morgellons. Scabies. Worms. Springtails. Collembola. Lyme. Nanobots. Smart dust. The Oklahoma study at 2 AM on PubMed.
Crystal Clear lays out why that sequence itself is data — not delusion. Diseases have stages of symptoms. Morgellons has stages of misidentification, marched through in roughly the same order by thousands of strangers across continents who’ve never spoken. That pattern requires an explanation. “Mass delusion” isn’t one.
Plus two records updates worth your attention:
• A new Oklahoma Open Records Act request submitted to the State Department of Health regarding the 2000 Collembola study (Altschuler, Crutcher, et al.) — the one with the manipulated photographs.
• An IRS 4506-A request for the Morgellons Research Foundation’s final 990 filings (2009, 2010, 2011) came back denied with three stacked, internally inconsistent reasons — while the Pennsylvania Department of State has a complete eight-year paper trail for the same organization, including the dissolution filing. Schedule N would document where the money went on the way out. Schedule N is what’s missing.
You are not crazy. What you have is.

Crystal’s backyard has been invaded and she has questions. This week on More Morgellons: the Joro spider, the silkworm computer, the cockroach with the Xbox controller, and what it means to be early instead of wrong.
The Joro spider (Trichonephila clavata) arrived in Georgia around 2013 and has spread across the Southeast — confirmed in the Smoky Mountains, reportedly now in California. The official line is they’re shy, they’re harmless, they eat stink bugs, leave them alone. Crystal read the brochure. She has notes.
In this episode:
• The University of Georgia turkey baster study and the 67-minute freeze response (other orb-weavers average 96 seconds)
• Why elevated heart rate during a freeze is biologically backwards but device-behavior forwards
• Joro silk: gold pigmentation, tensile strength comparable to high-grade steel, 200–400% elasticity, and why the military has been trying to synthesize it for forty years
• JSTX-3, the glutamate receptor inhibitor in Joro venom that neuroscience supply catalogs have sold by name for decades
• Reports of Joros building preferentially on power line infrastructure
• The international black market for invasive arthropods, the guy with the briefcase of ants in Nairobi, and how a Joro might end up in a shipping container
Then we zoom out to the broader pattern — the openly published cyborg insect research that’s been running for almost twenty years:
• DARPA’s HI-MEMS program (Hybrid Insect Micro-Electromechanical Systems) and the moth-pupa electrode work
• The remote-controlled cockroach demos posted to YouTube in 2009 (with the Xbox controller)
• Russia’s pigeon surveillance program
• China’s 2024 bee neural control announcement — 90% accuracy, stated use case: covert reconnaissance
• Donghua University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences feeding silkworms cadmium, gold, carbon nanotubes, and graphene — and the resulting silk that conducts electricity and forms self-healing logic gates
The episode closes with the question Crystal keeps coming back to: where exactly is the line between vigilance and paranoia, and who gets to draw it?

The pre-Morgellons era, audited. Crystal traces Elliot’s Disease from a 1999 message board post to a 2004 entomology paper that should’ve been retracted — and the cast of characters quietly running the show before Mary Leto ever showed up.
What’s in this one:
• The 1999 Sidney letter: a Colorado man named Elliot, a barbiturate overdose, and a “small group” with no computers who somehow found each other across three states and Shanghai
• The Kritters message board, the anonymous “Librarian,” and how everyone got funneled to skinparasites.com
• Deborah Altschuler’s one verifiable credential (a 1968 education degree), an unconfirmed DoD medical school appointment, and a “healthcare background” doing Olympic-level heavy lifting
• The LiceMeister: FDA “cleared” in May 1998, reclassified as a regular comb six months later, still marketed as a medical device 27 years on
• $1.2 million in comb sales in the year 2000 alone — under a nonprofit
• The 1,800-person patient NUSPA registry and the very detailed questionnaire nobody talks about
• The 2000 Oklahoma trip: 20 sufferers paying their own way, Mike Crutcher (future Oklahoma Health Commissioner), two Romanian parasitologists, and the 2004 paper that concluded Morgellons was springtails
• The 2012 call for retraction over alleged image manipulation — and the silence that followed
• The Lyme-industry footnote: ILADS, IGeneX, and where the money goes
• Why “the origin story isn’t credible” is not the same as “Morgellons isn’t real”
The Three Witches of Itchwick. Roll the credits.

Crystal Clear opens the episode by contributing a brand-new condition to the diagnostic literature: Delusional Debunking Disorder, or DDD. The case study is Mick West, who has spent twenty years insisting Morgellons fibers are lint and Havana Syndrome is crickets.
Crystal pivots to chat about Chen Tianqiao, Shanda Group founder and CCP member, who quietly bought roughly 200,000 acres in Klamath and Deschutes counties through a shell company called Whitefish Forest Resources in February 2015h. Second-largest foreign land purchase in American history.
The data point that refuses to sit down: Google Trends shows Oregon Morgellons searches at zero the week of the transaction. Five weeks later, March 29, 2015, the spike hits one hundred. Lagged correlation coefficient 0.92. Top two Oregon metros for Morgellons search interest that year: Bend in Deschutes County, and Medford-Klamath Falls. Whatever drove the search spike was not news. It was something people were feeling in their bodies.
Crystal traces what Chen did next. One billion dollars committed to neuroscience. The Tianqiao Chen Institute for Neuroscience at Caltech, $115 million. A Fudan University partnership in Shanghai. And NeuroXess, his implantable BCI company, whose chief scientist Tiger Tao specializes in silktrodes. January 2026: NeuroXess breaks ground on a super factory in Nanshang. March 2026: China issues the world’s first commercial approval for an invasive BCI device.
Enter billionaire number two. Joe Tsai, Alibaba co-founder, funder of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford, the Wu Tsai Institute at Yale, and a $220 million Human Performance Alliance that includes the University of Oregon.
Then the digital twin layer. Jensen Huang, NVIDIA CEO and Oregon State alum, donated fifty million dollars for an NVIDIA supercomputer at OSU Corvallis built for “complex twin simulations.” Ninety minutes from Eugene, the number five Morgellons search metro in America. Oklahoma State launched its Digital Human Twin Consortium in January 2025, also NVIDIA-powered, and happens to sit on Dr. Randy Wymore’s twenty-year Morgellons patient registry, possibly twelve thousand families, the largest biological data repository on the condition anywhere. They still ignore Crystal’s open records requests.
The sensor layer is Profusa, DARPA and Shanghai-funded, CEO Ben Hwang, manufacturer of injectable hydrogel biosensors. They just partnered with NVIDIA to build the AI portal reading the data. Sensors in, data out, twin built.
The deepest cut is the 2001 material. Weinong Fu, computational electromagnetics specialist at Ansoft in Pittsburgh, the company whose software gets implantable devices through FDA approval, posted a web page from his corporate email in May 2001 collecting Morgellons symptom reports from Americans. His wife Li Honglui was simultaneously co-funding a Fudan University paper documenting an unidentified organism producing “creeping eruptions, migratory pain, and neurofilament damage.” American arm, Chinese arm, Pittsburgh modeling layer.
The episode closes on the new Morgellons metagenomics preprint that landed on bioRxiv in April 2026, the first substantial research since Middelveen 2018. Crystal notes the venue: bioRxiv runs on Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, home of the Eugenics Record Office until Carnegie pulled funding, and has been bankrolled since 2017 by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. The paper itself gets its full deep-dive on Jeremy Murphree’s Morgellons Discussion podcast. Check it out!
A 0.92 correlation does not care about anyone’s opinion. A 2001 paper does not retroactively become a coincidence because it is inconvenient. And nobody buys 200,000 acres in the highest-Morgellons-search state while building a silk fiber brain implant factory unless those two investments are chapters in the same business plan. -
Tim Burchett introduced HR 8197 on April 6, 2026 — a bill to terminate AARO, repeal its authorizing statute, and permanently ban any future centralized authority over unidentified anomalous phenomena. This episode, Crystal breaks down what the bill actually says (not just the headline), why Section 1(a)(2) is a prohibition rather than a reform, and how the bill’s definition of UAP extends well beyond flying saucers into biological materials, directed energy, and anomalous effects on human bodies.
But before we get to the bill, we follow where Burchett pointed us: to Matt Gaetz, the man who entered Chinese state propaganda into the congressional record thinking it was from the Atlantic Council — then carried a military briefing about alien-human breeding programs straight to a podcast without checking the source. War zones. Migrant caravans. That’s not science fiction detail. That’s sourcing language. And Gaetz, Crystal says, does his own roasting.
This is Part 4 in the Elizondo/West playlist. If you haven’t heard the Mick West email exchange or the Chapter 8 breakdown, start there. The three bins — psychiatric, alien, parasitic — are the same architecture. And now there’s a bill to make sure no one ever centralizes the question under a single accountable authority again.

In Imminent (2024), former AATIP director Luis Elizondo describes anomalous implants recovered from military and intelligence personnel after UAP encounters as identical to Morgellons fibers — brightly colored, apparently self-moving. No major interviewer has followed up. Not Joe Rogan. Not Jesse Michels. Not Danny Jones.
Mick West built MorgellonsWatch.com and spent a decade debunking the condition. He also debunks Elizondo. So when presented with a direct question — do the fibers in Chapter 8 undermine Elizondo’s credibility, or do they complicate your position on Morgellons? — he should have had an answer. He didn’t.
This episode contains the full six-email exchange between CC and Mick West, read verbatim. West responded three times within minutes, never addressed the fiber claim directly, committed an ad hominem fallacy, was named on it, committed it again, and exited with “sorry, too busy.” The timestamps tell their own story.
Also covered: the three analytical bins that keep Morgellons outside institutional accountability — psychiatric dismissal, alien implant folklore, and parasitic illness via tick-borne disease. How Elizondo’s Chapter 8 structurally serves the third bin. The trypanosome-spirochete error in Elizondo’s own text. DARPA co-funding of Profusa biosensor technology alongside PRC-affiliated investors. The BRAIN Initiative (2013–present). Weinong Fu. The question nobody in UAP disclosure will answer.
Open invitations to both Elizondo and West remain standing.

Crystal Clear opens with a callback to a 2023 caller who corrected her pronunciation — and uses it to launch into the question nobody can answer: how do you actually say “Morgellons”? Not the humans. Not the AI. Not even the transcription software, which generates twelve different misspellings across two documents, free-associating ancient Greek physicians and death-themed place names rather than recognizing a proper noun it should know.
From there, the episode turns to a live, recorded interrogation of multiple AI models — Grok, Google’s Gemini, and Claude — on the Chinese-language term for Morgellons. Crystal Clear walks each model through the tonal structure of Mandarin, syllable by syllable, pressing them on what the phonetic components could mean independently. The models resist, deflect, and attempt to close the conversation — but the data doesn’t cooperate. Google Trends shows the Chinese search term peaking a full year or two before the English term enters search behavior, even in China. If Mary Leitao coined the word in 2002, who was searching for it in Chinese in 2004–2005?
The episode closes with a thought experiment: treat those four syllables like a combination lock. Start with 1.75 million possible character combinations. Apply a materials-science filter — eliminate everything that isn’t technical. What survives? Graphite/carbon, electrode, cage/structure, silk. A conductive carbon-silk nano-cage. A self-assembling, biocompatible, electromagnetically active structure. Poetry slam to materials science convention in four steps.
Featured: adversarial AI transcripts, Google Trends anomaly documentation, Mandarin tonal analysis, the Coca-Cola analogy, and math that turns a “what if” into a “how to.” -
Crystal Clear connects the dots between DARPA’s neural interface program and China’s brain research initiative and arrives at a theory that’s structurally identical to the COVID gain-of-function mess: two governments in bed together, both too exposed to snitch.
Yes, DARPA is involved. No, they’re not the Bond villain. They’re the co-conspirator who showed up to the heist in a government-issued sedan and now can’t leave because their partner has the keys. The U.S. gets manufacturing capabilities and a population base that would never clear a domestic ethics board. China gets American simulation tools and institutional prestige. Everybody wins except, you know, the people.
Also discussed: why the CDC study looks less like an investigation and more like a cleanup crew with a clipboard, what happened to the military forensic lab that touched the samples (spoiler: gone), why the lead investigator landed at the BRAIN Initiative afterward, and what 12,000 names in a filing cabinet at Oklahoma State University might actually document.
Crystal Clear also has a message for the community: stop pointing fingers in a 180-degree radius. It’s not everybody. It’s specific people, specific programs, specific patents and payments. Bring your skepticism, bring your faith, bring your contradictions — but leave the Illuminati at the door.
Closes with a live update on open records request No. 26-100, filed under the Oklahoma Open Records Act. Their response so far: “it will take some time.” Dot dot dot.

Crystal Clear wraps Season 18 with the most comprehensive episode in the show’s history, connecting the CDC Morgellons study to parallel Chinese and American brain-computer interface programs, DARPA-funded implantable biosensors with Chinese investors, and a technology supply chain that traces back to 2001. Featuring timestamped podcast analytics showing coordinated Chinese surveillance from three brain research cities, the real explanation for the drug-use correlation in Morgellons patients, and a new framework for understanding what Morgellons actually is — not a bioweapon, not a disease, but an installation platform for neural biosensor technology in a bilateral brain-machine interface arms race.
The CDC Morgellons study running concurrently with China’s first Brain Project 2008-2011. The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology shutdown. Michelle Pearson’s transfer from lead CDC investigator to BRAIN Initiative chief of staff. The US BRAIN Initiative as a response to China’s earlier program. The China Brain Project’s “one body two wings” framework connecting cognition research to brain-inspired AI.
DARPA funding Profusa implantable biosensors while Chinese investors Qihoo 360 and Tasly Pharmaceutical Group sit on the same cap table. Ben Hwang as CEO. The Ansoft to Ansys to Synopsys acquisition chain and its role as the global standard simulation platform for implantable antenna design, wireless power transfer to medical implants, and biosensor development. China’s SAMR regulatory jurisdiction over the $35 billion Synopsys-Ansys deal.
Morgellons as a prediction error loop — engineered materials designed to be almost-but-not-quite recognizable, continuously triggering mismatch negativity, P300, and N400 neurological responses. The brain’s error correction process as the most valuable training dataset for artificial general intelligence. Why the ambiguity of Morgellons materials is a design feature not a coincidence.
The drug supply chain as delivery mechanism. Chinese control of precursor chemicals for fentanyl and methamphetamine. Chinese manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients for prescribed psychotropics. Insufflation and smoking as direct routes to neural tissue. Blood-brain barrier permeability from stimulant use. The CDC documenting the delivery route and calling it a risk factor.
Timestamped podcast analytics showing a Chinese listener surge from 0.2% to 15% within days of filing an open records request to Oklahoma State University. Listeners concentrated in Harbin, Xiamen, and Lanzhou — three cities with active roles in China’s brain research and defense infrastructure. Web browser access patterns. The audience disappearing within days of the callout episode. Jenny Chan’s unsolicited email to a private address during the same window.
The bilateral collaboration framework — American and Chinese institutions as co-conspirators in a classified neural interface program, with the cover-up protecting the partnership rather than either government individually. The 12,000 person patient registry at OSU as a deployment map. The open records request filed February 23, 2026 — still unanswered.

Crystal Clear opens with testimony from Elsa Johnson, a Stanford junior and Editor-in-Chief of the Stanford Review, who describes being targeted by a suspected Chinese Ministry of State Security operative while conducting research at the Hoover Institution — including social media contact from a fake Stanford affiliate, a paid trip offer to Shanghai, pressure to move communications to WeChat, and subsequent FBI confirmation of physical surveillance on campus.
Crystal picks up the thread as a fellow subject of monitoring and reintroduces the forensic triple filter framework: timing window, rarity baseline, and independent system convergence. She then walks through five data pulls from her podcast hosting analytics — not interpretations, numbers.
The baseline: In 5+ years of show history, China represented 0.2% of total Spotify plays. Japan, 0.11%. English-speaking countries dominated. Normal. Then on February 23, 2026, she filed an open records request to Oklahoma State University targeting the 12,000-person Morgellons patient registry, research agreements, and Randy Wymore’s federal correspondence. Within days — not weeks — China surged to 15% of her audience (country #2 worldwide), Japan to 11.67% (#3). Listeners concentrated in three cities: Harbin, Xi’amen, and Lanzhou. Web browser listening quadrupled from 8% to 32%. The spike held for roughly 45 days, then collapsed within four days of the Hello Harbin episode airing — at which point Jenny Chan also went silent after her last reply.
Crystal addresses the VPN counterargument head-on: even if individual access is easy, the simultaneous disappearance of 100% of the Chinese audience within days of the call-out episode is the part VPN logic can’t explain. She notes the spike wasn’t triggered by her China coverage in Season 5 — it was triggered by a request about American research infrastructure. Whoever was listening was monitoring the Morgellons research pipeline, not her foreign policy commentary.
The episode closes with Crystal revisiting her own Season 1 clip from 2020, letting the audience hear how far the investigation has traveled from early speculation to primary-source methodology — and why the lane between closed-mindedness and credulity is the only road that leads anywhere.
-
The episode opens with Crystal packing up her home (again), discovering a notebook of million-dollar business ideas — including a riding dog, self-moving furniture, and a whale saddle — before stumbling on her old box of Morgellons remedies: the creams, the ointments, the horse paste, the borax, the coal tar. Which raises the question that drives the rest of the episode: what if all the money we spent trying to treat this had gone toward actually figuring out what it is?
Crystal introduces the CEHF — the Charles E. Holman Morgellons Disease Foundation — a 501(c)(3) based in Lone Star, Texas, operating since 2007, and reads their mission statement back to them before conducting a two-part audit: clinical and financial.
Part One: The Clinical Audit
A deep read of “Cindy’s Diary,” published on the CEHF’s own website — a day-by-day chronicle written by Charles “Chas” Holman documenting his wife Cindy Casey-Holman’s medical odyssey from 2004-2005. Cindy, an ICU nurse at CPMC in San Francisco, was diagnosed with “delusions of parasitosis” and “self-mutilation” before the Morgellons Research Foundation referred them to nurse practitioner Ginger Saveley in Austin, Texas. The diary tracks the full treatment pipeline: IGeneX testing after five years of negative Lyme results ($180), Rocephin injections administered at home by Charles, Flagyl (misidentified as an antifungal), Mepron, Zithromax, and Gentamicin — culminating in a dangerous eosinophilic reaction (levels hitting 69, normal range 0-7) that forced an emergency stop of all treatment. Enter Dr. Raphael Stricker, Saveley’s mentor, at $500 for the initial consult, $250 follow-ups, no insurance accepted. The punchline, documented in Charles’s own words: Cindy improved after stopping everything. “Feeling much better these days — without the meds (go figure..??)”
Crystal notes that she has the same condition, has done nothing to treat it since approximately year two, is lesion-free, and is functionally the control group that nobody in this community has ever bothered to establish in a clinical trial.
The foundation and its associated providers have never conducted a single randomized, blinded, controlled drug trial in nearly two decades of treating patients.
Part Two: The Financial Audit
A review of the CEHF’s IRS 990-EZ filings (2013-2021) via ProPublica showing approximately $371,000 in total revenue over nine documented years. All officers compensated at $0. Zero liabilities. By 2021, $62K in assets against only $5K in expenses — a functionally dormant organization. Filings for 2008-2012, the critical formative years spanning Charles Holman’s death, the MRF dissolution, and the CDC study period, are missing from public databases. The CEHF website contains no financial disclosures, no annual reports, no posted 990s, and no breakdown of how donor funds are spent.
Charles Holman died September 6, 2007. No public cause of death. No obituary has ever been found. Kenneth Cowles, the other primary Morgellons advocate, died 48 days later. Both men were in their early-to-mid 50s.
Part Three: The Funnel
Crystal connects the clinical and financial audits to the structural question: the CEHF’s “What is Morgellons?” page remains a question after 19 years, yet the foundation actively promotes the chronic Lyme hypothesis and the Stricker-Saveley-ILADS treatment network on its homepage. The organization cannot simultaneously claim to be searching for answers while functioning as the promotional arm of a specific clinical pipeline whose treatments have never been validated and whose own foundational patient narrative — Cindy’s Diary — undermines the treatment rationale.

CC gets a love letter at 3am from a lady named Jenny Chan who runs a nonprofit called Pacific Atrocities Education out of San Francisco. Jenny used an AI bot to write a fan email to an unlisted email address she shouldn’t have, about a show she’s never listened to, name-dropping a man with two first names who spent his whole career apologizing for his dad planting the American flag on Iwo Jima. Jenny wants to come on the show to talk about comfort women from 1943. CC said sure.
This episode: CC reads Jenny’s email out loud and it does not survive the reading. James Bradley gets roasted for turning his father’s flag into a white one. CC does a speed round on the three Chinese atrocities happening RIGHT NOW that Jenny’s org doesn’t cover — the Uyghur genocide, forced organ harvesting from living prisoners, and seventy years of Tibetan cultural erasure. Chi Haotian’s secret speech on using biological weapons to “clean up” America gets read on air. The Putin-Xi hot mic clip from the WWII anniversary parade where they casually discuss organ transplant immortality while Kim Jong Un grins like an idiot plays in full. CC connects the Ansoft-Ansys-Synopsys $35 billion acquisition chain to Professor Fu’s 2001 honeytrap website to OSU’s Human Digital Twin Consortium to a Zhejiang University researcher building digital replicas of human lungs on the same campus holding 12,000 families’ biological data under Navy oversight. The open records request filed February 23 (number 26-100) remains unanswered. Chinese listenership went from 0.2% to 15% three days after 26-100 request was submitted. Then Jenny emailed.

Remembrance of evil is chiefly to prevent its recurrence. And it’s recurring. RIGHT NOW.
Jenny you’re still welcome on the show. Lots of fans in Harbin. Have a grateful day. -
Luis Elizondo, former director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP, 2008-2012), sat down with Mick West — who spent those exact same years running Morgellons Watch, a website dedicated to dismissing a contested dermatological condition. In his book Imminent, Elizondo casually states that implants recovered from military and intelligence personnel after UAP encounters were “identical to Morgellons fibers.” West, who built a decade-long platform on debunking Morgellons, never asks about it. Not once. Neither has Joe Rogan or any other interviewer.
This episode covers: AATIP’s overlap with DARPA-funded biosensor and brain-computer interface research (2008-2012), the Department of Defense’s investment in implantable micro-electrode arrays and biophysical sensors during that period, the launch of the BRAIN Initiative in 2013 (where Michelle Pearson the CDC study lead investigator is now chief of staff), Elizondo’s counterintelligence background, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui’s 1999 book Unrestricted Warfare, Weinong Fu at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and the question nobody in the UAP disclosure space will touch.

In this episode, Crystal gets distracted from the investigation to nerd out about a dead Italian neuroscientist whose name she cannot pronounce, explains why your brain is basically running malware that makes you afraid of the one thing that could help you, overshares about her butthole, makes a case for why the craziest sounding people in this community deserve a microphone just as much as the credible ones, references Jesus and Allen Dulles in the same train of thought then cuts it not because it sounds too crazy but because she ran out of tape, same reason she butchers a famous Arthur C. Clarke quote ya’ll will never hear, plays distracting background piano because low production quality is a tradition on MM, and then has the F-ing audacity to ask you to reach out when she already admitted she won’t respond for weeks. Also something about worms and the return of Christ. Standard Tuesday. If that is what day this really is.
If you’re lonely and this is hard and everyone thinks you’re nuts: moremorgellons.com. Go leave a message. She’ll get back to you. Eventually. Probably. Also, lovingly but getting almost a little annoyed at this point: Put the tweezers down.
