Welcome to Ground Zero, where we explore the mysterious world of paranormal phenomena. Tonight, we delve into one of the most infamous airline disasters in history: Flight 401. On December 29, 1972, this Eastern Airlines flight crashed into a swamp near Miami International Airport due to a malfunctioning landing gear light and other distractions. The accident resulted in the death of 32 people, making it the second deadliest single aircraft disaster in United States history.
But that’s not all – after the crash, strange stories began to circulate amongst the airline community about ghostly encounters with the dead crew of Flight 401. And it gets even more eerie – undamaged parts from the crashed plane were recycled into other Eastern L-1011 Tristar jets that seemed to produce the largest concentrations of hauntings and sightings of the dead crewmen.
Join us as we talk with paranormal investigators Steve Shippy and Cindy Kaza about this fascinating case, and hear their insights into what may be causing these strange occurrences. Are they simply coincidences or is there something more sinister at play? Tune in to “Ground Zero” for a chilling exploration of the world beyond the veil.

One of the reasons mentioned for the October 7 attack by Hamas against Israel was due to the “red cows in the Holy Land.” The red heifers are now grazing at a secure location along the West Bank. Some Jews and Christians believe they are key to rebuilding the Jewish Temple that once stood in Jerusalem, and therefore, beckon the Messiah. Within the Book of Numbers, there is a command that the Israelites offer for sacrifice a “red heifer without defect or blemish and that has never been under yoke.” This controversial purification event may take place during Passover. Is this sacrifice intended to nudge God or is it the rushing of the Eschaton to aggravate the Abrahamic religions? Is it merely a historical ritual or a harbinger of end times? Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with Bible prophecy teacher, Pastor Paul Begley about RED SHED REDEMPTION.

On a quantum level, we may see a future that is counterintuitive as so-called prophecies in religious texts speak of a future where disasters and final judgment await us. Now, there seems to be a debate on whether or not the Book of Revelation in the Bible should be removed so future generations will be able to progress without the worry of a biblical Armageddon and retro causal Apocalypse.

Why is there such incredible excitement in Israel right now? Because on August 28, 2018, “a perfectly red heifer was born in the land of Israel” and was examined and certified by a board of Rabbis. Furthermore, there is the suspicion that recent news about a red heifer being born is the product of genetic engineering. It is believed that the Temple of God cannot be rebuilt without the sacrifice of a red heifer. As we appear to be at the advent of the apocalypse, the Abrahamic faiths believe that their way of thinking should be the one true way at the time of the eschaton.

On a thought-provoking episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis engaged in a stimulating conversation with renowned investigator Ed Opperman about the mysterious death of freelance journalist Danny Casolaro and the web of conspiracies known as the octopus.

The chilling details surrounding Casolaro’s death, who was found dead in a hotel bathtub with his wrists slashed multiple times in 1991, continue to fuel speculation and intrigue among conspiracy theorists and journalists alike.

The “octopus” referred to an alleged criminal network that Casolaro believed was composed of U.S. officials, organized crime members, and intelligence agents. His investigation was cut short, and his death was quickly ruled a suicide by authorities.

However, numerous inconsistencies and unanswered questions have led many to believe that he was, in fact, murdered because of what he uncovered.In the illuminating discussion, Opperman revealed some startling connections and provided poignant insights into the depths of Casolaro’s investigation.

He highlighted not only the promised software and the insidious ties with the shadowy elements within the government but also the potential involvement of significant figures such as Lockheed Martin and Joe Biden.Insightful contributions from Chris Milligan, a publisher and writer, were also featured in the show.

His discussion with Clyde included aspects of the case unexplored in the recent Netflix special, “The Octopus Murders.” Milligan emphasized the pitfalls of the investigation, often misdirecting or undermining the hard work of diligent investigators like Casolaro.

It painted a picture of deceit, covert operations, and the dangerous pursuit of clandestine truths.Listeners contributed to the conversation with their queries, clearly displaying a communal intrigue into how such conspiracies can persist within the ancient but still palpably powerful halls of governments and intelligence agencies.

The discussion often circled back to a profound concern: that the governmental corruption and global-scale criminal convolutions that Casolaro probed into, have not ceased but perhaps have become more sophisticated and buried beneath the surface over time.From shared vulnerabilities and frustrations to deeply moved calls for justice, the episode captured the entwined essence of mystery, danger, and the unyielding pursuit of the truth.

It highlighted how, years after his untimely and suspicious death, Danny Casolaro’s story continues to inspire and haunt, acting as a grim reminder that those who dare to chase the octopus’ tentacles often find themselves entangled in deadly embrace.For those brave enough to unearth buried secrets, the world of conspiracy can prove to be a deadly affair–a reality that Danny Casolaro confronted head-first, never to return from the deep water stirred by the formidable currents of the octopus’ reach.

The episode began with an eerie, dramatized call to the president, suggesting unseen forces at work, “monsters” in the Oval Office, and an ominous warning to “look behind you.” This was an apt prelude to the intense discussion that followed.

With growing concerns about fascism and the corrosion of democracy in the United States, Sottile and Lewis discussed the uncomfortable reality of a so-called deep state, a web of entrenched interests operating within and across official governmental structures.

Listeners were urged to wake up to manipulations that have been spoken of by many profound writers throughout history, including H.G. Wells, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and others who envisaged dystopian futures dominated by unseen cabals and omnipotent states.

Sottile’s conversation with Lewis pivoted around the controversial claim that this leviathan ‘octopus’ of power doesn’t restrict its reach to an amorphous global entity but has tangible tentacles in pointed political spheres, diplomacy, intelligence, and even the White House.With Michael Flynn’s resignation as National Security Advisor only weeks into President Donald Trump’s term, the discussion moved into contemporary issues.

Was Flynn’s departure part of a pattern tracing back to administrations past, where dossiers and blackmail were tools wielded by shadow operatives to maintain control? The conversation certainly made listeners question the integrity of political processes and the vulnerability of leaders who step out of line with the desires of a powerful, deep-rooted establishment.The interview concluded with a momentous and chilling realization: this ‘deep state’ isn’t just working against disruptive elements or foreign adversaries;

it’s now apparently engaged in a domestic power struggle where the future of American governance is at stake. And all of this set within a parapolitical framework that challenges even the most stable perceptions of what America stands for.If these discussions pique your interest, make sure to tune into Ground Zero and follow Clyde Lewis and JP Sottile as they continue to uncover what’s really happening behind the political curtain.

And remember, as the politics become increasingly convoluted and the lines of ethics more blurred, it’s our duty as citizens to remain informed, skeptic and, above all, vigilant.

In what is being hailed as one of the largest leaks of CIA documents in history, WikiLeaks‘ Vault 7 release shines a spotlight on the agency’s creeping surveillance reach. Featuring thousands of classified documents, the dump—dubbed Year Zero—not only exposes a vast array of hacking tools and malware but also unveils the CIA’s stealthy backdoor control of everyday technology.

From smart phones and televisions to gaming systems, these devices have been turned into live microphones, making personal privacy almost non-existent.Clyde Lewis of Ground Zero dissects the alarming revelations, confirming the long-suspected extensiveness of government spying. The consequence is that countless conspiracy theories that referred to such large-scale surveillance are now no longer theories but disturbing truths.

The spookily named Weeping Angel program turns Samsung smart TVs into surveillance bugs that can listen in even when the device appears off. Intelligence agencies can dive into the cyber realm with programs like Operation Hammer Drill and Project Hive, insidiously breaching our supposed digital sanctuaries.

Perhaps the most unsettling prospect is the sinister Umbridge project that freely borrows and modifies cyberattack techniques from other countries.

By emulating these methods and leaving behind falsely incriminating digital footprints, the CIA can conduct their own covert operations and point fingers at another nation, essentially constructing a modern-day cyber Reichstag fire.

An earlier investigatory work by reporter Danny Casolaro, based on the so-called Octopus Conspiracy, seems to meet vindication through these disclosures. Casolaro tragically died while delving deep into a secret network that he believed permeated the government and further afield, with agencies like the CIA forming part of a tentacled system of control and subterfuge.

In a sinister echo of the past, the Vault 7 release suggests that his theory about the ‘octopus’s’ reach is no longer a product of a bygone paranoid era but a reality of the present digital age.With the stakes higher than ever in the Intelligence community’s chess game of data and deception, Clyde Lewis implores listeners to recognize the importance of scrutinizing the government’s surveillance appetite.

As the lines blur between national security and invasive spying, citizens’ privacy hangs in the balance, reduced to collateral damage in the quest for control.The truth behind the octopus is now unmasked—its tentacles stretch out, omnipresent, turning our own devices against us in a way that would seem inexcusably dramatic, were it not so chillingly real.

Landing 12 people on the moon remains one of NASA’s greatest achievements although the missions did not establish a long-term human presence. More than 50 years after the most recent crewed moon landing (Apollo 17 – December 1972) there are plenty of reasons to return people to the moon and set up a space station. however, we won’t be back until 2026. What has been taking place for decades is a form of mass hypnosis, manipulation, and indoctrination of the public consciousness. The reality is that there is more evidence to support the assertion that man never went to the moon, including the absence of stars in NASA photos and no blast crater under the lunar module. A simple camera pointed at the Earth from the moon would settle the issue, however, it is not going to happen. Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks about OPERATION GREEN CHEESE.

China is surreptitiously laying down a hi-tech security and intelligence infrastructure – they have built a new massive intelligence-collecting outpost south of America’s border under the guise of space exploration. Moreover, we are on major alert for more cyber attacks coming from our Asian rival as the world does not see what is being dealt from the dark side of the moon.

As our hopes of going back to the moon seem to be inexplicably dashed with a myriad of excuses, it’s making many of us wonder if we ever went there in the first place. Perhaps we are now realizing that the only way we will see another moon landing is the same way we saw it in 1969, only this time with better actors, special effects and a bigger screen
