Are the nation’s top federal scientists being vanished to cover up earth-shattering revelations about aliens and advanced space technology? It’s a theory that President Trump, FBI Director Kash Patel, and the House Oversight Committee are at least pretending to take seriously. But what’s the truth behind the “dead or missing scientists” lists floating around social media for the last few months?Mike Rothschild joins us today to discuss the recent cases of scientists seemingly disappearing or dying under mysterious circumstances. Along the way we unpack the long tradition conspiracy theories that involve assembling lists of dead people and concluding they all have the same mysterious cause, including the “Curse of King Tut,” the Clinton body count, and little known GEC-Marconi scientist deaths conspiracy theory.Mike Rothschild on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/cw/MikeRothschildMike Rothschild on Blueskyhttps://bsky.app/profile/rothschildmd.bsky.socialMike Rothschild on Twitterhttps://x.com/rothschildmdFederal Employees in the Physical Sciences and Engineeringhttps://www.aip.org/statistics/federal-employees-in-the-physical-sciences-and-engineeringCase Detail for Michael Hicks - LA County Medical Examinerhttps://me.lacounty.gov/case-detail/?caseNumber=2023-09733Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes: www.patreon.com/qaaCheck out our new podcast series network Cursed Media!
