With every new AI surveillance technology that is adopted and deployed without any regard for privacy, Fourth Amendment rights, and due process, the rights of the citizenry are being marginalized, undermined, and eviscerated. We are now witnessing the rise of digital authoritarianism. Beyond the metaverse and the so-called Eighth Sphere extinction, we need to understand the world governments have already made the decision that Artificial Intelligence will be utilized in a new digital utility called Web 3.

Playing with the dead is often a nightmare waiting to happen. The Medical Industrial Complex has plans to map the brain and revive it, hours after the body has died. The company, BioQuark, was approved to begin experiments with family permission on clinically brain-dead patients and attempt to reanimate or bring them back to life and possibly stimulate their brain cells to regenerate themselves. Do we see this as ethical? Does this push the boundaries of science into playing God or is it all Frankenscience that needs to be monitored? Some argue that this is just one step forward in our evolution or perhaps it nullifies the concept of survival of the fittest. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time) Clyde Lewis talks with author, nurse, and Death Doula, Lynn Monet about THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE.

The Frankenstein story is more of a reality now than it ever was. Today, mankind is edging closer to the reality of creating life through what could be called “mad science.” Mankind is also on the verge of creating a graven image of his own making – machines in our image after our likeness – with a synthetic soul that is merely ones and zeroes being interpreted by an electronic brain.

The idea of childhood horrors is also the basis of adult fears. People have aversions to things like dolls and clowns, and it is peculiar how these things trigger memories of imaginary friends. The concept of our children being influenced by a malevolent force is all too real now that younger people are more in tune with ghosts in their machines as they find themselves glued to their phones and laptops. A parent’s greatest fear is losing a child to the darkness as the demons watch and wait for the moment a child loses its ability to connect. So, it turns to an imaginary friend that is neither a friend nor imaginary. These “familiars” reveal themselves during times of great duress while blurring the lines between adulthood and the children’s hour. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time) Clyde Lewis talks with folklore storyteller and author, Steve Stockton about THE CHILDREN’S HOUR.

“The Season of the Witch” from Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis,  explores a fascinating intersection between historical events like the Salem witch trials and modern societal fears. Clyde Lewis delves into the idea that hysteria, political manipulation, and mass paranoia have been recurring themes throughout history, from the Puritan-era witch hunts to more contemporary incidents involving terrorism, mass shootings, and government overreach.

The episode reflects on how fear of the unknown—whether that be witches in 17th-century New England or terrorism in the 21st century—drives communities to scapegoat and accuse, often leading to disastrous consequences. Drawing from historical accounts, such as those of the Salem witch trials, and modern-day events like the post-9/11 political climate, Lewis explores how hysteria can be used as a tool for control and manipulation. The episode also raises thought-provoking questions about the patterns we see in society today, such as increasing governmental power and erosion of civil liberties, and how they echo the fear-driven justice systems of the past.

The narrative touches on the fragility of justice, the dangers of letting paranoia dictate societal actions, and the eerie similarities between past and present witch hunts. Lewis draws these parallels to caution listeners against allowing fear to lead to the erosion of due process and personal freedoms. It’s an intense, thought-provoking episode that encourages listeners to reflect on the ways in which history can repeat itself if we are not vigilant.

This episode is a deep dive into the dark side of mass hysteria, offering listeners a chilling reminder of how quickly fear can turn societies against their own, just as it did in Salem over 300 years ago.

A cryptid-like creature with the traits of an ape has been showing up in Facebook feeds recently, and a Bigfoot sighting in SW Colorado has been going viral online. Shannon Parker scrambled to snap some photos of the beast while a man sitting next to her and her husband, Stetson, recorded a video of the figure as it crouched down amid the brush. It blended into its surroundings and when it crouched down, it looked as if it disappeared among the rocks and sagebrush. Skeptics speculate that the sighting could have been a well-conceived hoax by an expedition group, attempting to attract more publicity and tourists. Conversely, there is always room on the earthly stage for monsters to show themselves. They prey in the dark, they visit you while you’re sleeping, and they pop up in the strangest of places. Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with Sasquatch investigator and author, Matt Pruitt about HOW BIG IS THAT MONSTER IN THE WINDOW.

In the field of the paranormal, there can be spirits that stir like echoes along a Mobius twist. One such place is the Oman House located in Beverly Hills on Cielo Drive – an area where the gruesome Manson murders occurred. The more we learn about hauntings and explore them for scientific and historic purposes, we may find they are merely a stirring of echoes that appear because of information that may have a tendency to unravel and reveal all kinds of secrets about the universe and what we call the supernatural. On tonight’s show, Clyde Lewis talks about ONCE UPON A TIME IN HELLYWOOD
