Russia has been tracking unidentified aerial phenomena since before the term existed. The Soviet military ran a classified investigation called Program SETKA from 1978 to 1990 - twelve years, thousands of filed reports, senior military personnel as witnesses - and when the USSR collapsed and the files were briefly, partially opened, what came out was strange enough that the Russian government quietly closed them again.That was 1993. Nobody in the western press followed up. And Putin, who knows where every other body is buried, has never once been asked about it on the record.So what does it mean when the country with the second-largest nuclear arsenal and a seventy-year history of UAP investigation has said almost nothing - while the Americans have said just enough to make you stop asking?This week, Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth go through what the evidence actually shows, what's been conveniently overlooked, and what the gap between those two things tells us.Program SETKA: what the Soviet military was actually investigating, the rank of the officers filing reports, and what the partially declassified files described before the archive door closed again in 1993The Petrozavodsk incident: the 1977 event over a major Russian city witnessed by hundreds of people including police and harbour workers, reported on the front page of Tass, and never officially explained by any government that was askedPutin and the disclosure question: every on-record statement he has made about UAPs, what a former Russian defence minister said publicly in 2012 that would have ended any western official's career, and why neither statement got a follow-upThe military overlap: the specific coordinates where Russian UAP sightings cluster, what else is at those coordinates, and whether the phenomenon respects the same boundaries that nuclear infrastructure does on both sides of the iron curtainThe coordination problem: what it would mean if Russia and the United States have been aware of the same phenomenon for seventy years and chosen independently to say nothing, and which explanation for that silence is actually more unsettlingSome of this is documented. Some is genuinely unknown. And almost none of it is as settled as the people who control the archives want you to believe.Join Rich Baker and Dr Nick Coatsworth as they suss it all out.Contact the show at conspiracycabal@outlook.com.The Conspiracy Cabal doesn't promote conspiracy theories - we examine them.

On the night of October 21, 1978, a 20-year-old pilot named Frederick Valentich radioed Melbourne air traffic control to report an unidentified aircraft pacing him over Bass Strait. He described a long shape with a green light, an engine that didn't sound like a normal aircraft, and then, seventeen seconds of unexplained metallic scraping. Then nothing. No wreckage. No body. No confirmed radar trace. The Department of Transport's official finding, filed years later, was "reason for disappearance: unknown."Forty-eight years on, that stretch of water between Victoria and Tasmania has become one of the most argued-over patches of sky in the southern hemisphere. So was this a young, inexperienced pilot who became spatially disoriented and flew upside down into the sea — or did Bass Strait swallow something the official transcript still can't explain?The full radio transcript, and the line investigators still can't agree on: was Valentich describing a UFO, or panicking about engine trouble he didn't have the hours to diagnose?Why no wreckage from a Cessna 182 has ever washed up, in a strait that has surrendered debris from other crashes within daysThe competing theory that he staged his own disappearance to fly on to a new life, and the family members who have always rejected itA 1982 photograph, taken the same night by a witness on the ground, that some analysts say shows an engine intake — and others say shows nothing at allWhy the Bureau of Air Safety Investigation closed its file without ever determining a cause, an outcome almost unheard of in Australian aviation historySome of this is documented. Some is genuinely unknown. And almost none of it is as settled as the people who closed the file want you to believe.Join Rich Baker and Dr Nick Coatsworth as they suss it all out.Contact the show at conspiracycabal@outlook.comThe Conspiracy Cabal doesn't promote conspiracy theories — we examine them.

Every morning at the Gerson clinic in Tijuana, patients wake up and drink juice. Then they drink more juice. Then they have a coffee enema. Then more juice. Thirteen glasses before dinner, every day, for weeks - at a cost that runs to thirty thousand dollars a month. The people doing it are not gullible. He also prescribed coffee enemas and carrot juice to cancer patients, charged them a significant amount of money, and kept his own records in a way that made independent verification essentially impossible. Both of those things are true, and the wellness industry has spent seventy years making sure you only hear about one of them.So what does it mean when a protocol this easy to debunk has this many true believers — and some of them have the scans to back it up?This week, Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth go through what the evidence actually shows, what's been conveniently overlooked, and what the gap between those two things tells us.The Albert Schweitzer problem: why the most credentialled endorsement in alternative medicine history doesn't actually say what people think it says, and what Schweitzer was and wasn't claiming when he called Gerson a geniusThe biology of the protocol: what the sodium-potassium hypothesis actually proposes, where it intersects with legitimate cellular research, and where it quietly stops making sense before the brochure noticesSurvivorship bias and the testimonial economy: why every alternative cancer clinic in the world has a wall of thank-you letters, what that data looks like when an epidemiologist runs it, and why the people who didn't get better aren't at the reunionThe peer review gap: why Gerson's results have never been independently replicated, what it would actually take to run a clean trial, and whether the absence of evidence here is as suspicious as the true believers insistCoffee enemas and the detox myth: what the liver actually does, what "detoxification" means in a clinical versus a marketing context, and why the same word is doing very different work depending on who's using itSome of this is documented. Some is genuinely unknown. And almost none of it is as settled as the people selling the protocol want you to believe.Join Rich Baker and Dr Nick Coatsworth as they suss it all out.Contact the show at conspiracycabal@outlook.com.The Conspiracy Cabal doesn't promote conspiracy theories — we examine them.

The murder of Andres Escobar rocked Colombia. Plus, did Australia try to bribe their way to a world cup?In 1994, Colombia entered the World Cup tipped as one of the favorites to win it all. But after a shocking own-goal by beloved defender Andrés Escobar led to their early exit, the national tragedy turned fatal. Just days after returning home to Medellín, Andrés was gunned down in a nightclub parking lot. It remains one of the darkest and most scrutinized moments in sporting history, exposing a terrifying intersection of athletic passion, high-stakes gambling, and cartel violence.This week, Richard Baker and Dr. Nick Coatsworth examine the tragic death of the "Gentleman of Soccer" to separate urban legend from the grim reality of 1990s Colombia, exploring how a simple game became a matter of life and death.The rise of "Narco-Football": How the billions of drug kingpins like Pablo Escobar (no relation to Andrés) bankrolled Colombian football, transformed local clubs into international powerhouses, and deeply entangled the sport with organized crime.The fateful mistake: The high-pressure environment of the 1994 World Cup in the US, the chilling death threats sent to the team's hotel rooms, and the split-second own-goal against the United States that sealed Colombia’s elimination.The murder and the betting syndicates: The night of July 2, 1994, the confrontation outside a Medellín nightclub with figures linked to drug trafficking, and the persistent theory that Andrés was executed because his mistake cost powerful cartel gamblers millions.Why it matters: How the tragedy decimated Colombian football, the chaos that gripped Medellín after the fall of Pablo Escobar, and what the tragedy reveals about the dangerous vulnerability of sports when criminal enterprises take control.Some aspects of the tragedy have been verified by criminal investigations, while other details- including who ultimately ordered the hit- remain shrouded in cartel secrecy and decades of speculation. Throughout this episode, we distinguish between established historical facts, credible theories, and the myths that still surround the tragedy.Contact the show at conspiracycabal@outlook.com.The Conspiracy Cabal doesn't promote conspiracy theories- it examines them.
