    Defending John Wayne Gacy
    Aug 30 2024
    Karen Conti was the only woman on John Wayne Gacy’s legal team during his appeal process to have his death sentence commuted to life in prison.

She details the whole experience in her book, Killing Time with John Wayne Gacy: Defending America’s Most Evil Serial Killer on Death Row. She explains how she came to work on Gacy’s appeal, what he was really like in person, and how she reacted the first time she saw his infamous “Body Book.” Karen shares whether she believes there are more Gacy victims out there, and whether or not he acted alone in killing his 33 known victims.

    Inside The Pentagon’s Secret Hunt For UFOs
    Aug 21 2024
    Former senior intelligence official and special agent, Luis “Lue” Elizondo, was recruited into the US government’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, a $22 million program sponsored by then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to study UFOs. Lue resigned in 2017 in protest of excessive government secrecy regarding UFOs. But it’s thanks to Lue that the government in recent years has declassified and made public a lot of information regarding UFO encounters and sightings. Lue documents a lot of what he investigated, learned and witnessed during his time in AATIP in his new book, Imminent: Inside The Pentagon’s Hunt For UFOs, and shares some of the fascinating case studies and encounters with Chris. They discuss more details about the infamous TicTac videos captured by the USS Nimitz crew off the coast of San Diego, the TWO alien encounter events at Roswell, the implants that Lue has seen extracted from people’s bodies, and the medical records proving ongoing illness after reported extra-terrestrial encounters. Lue also discusses the implications of alien existence for the world, his biggest fear when it comes to aliens and UFOs, and the importance of public transparency when it comes to this issue.
