In this third edition of the Truth Warrior Roundtable, we sit down with David Whitehead and Matt Presti to tackle one of the most turbulent moments in recent memory — the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the shockwaves it sent through the “truth” community. We break down the reactions on both the left and the right, the flood of conspiracy claims surrounding the event, and how Israel once again became a central point of debate in the aftermath.This conversation goes beyond headlines to address the deeper war on consciousness itself — why people struggle to hold uncertainty, the consequences of irresponsible speech, the role of faith and resilience in times of tragedy, and how to stay grounded in evidence and individualism rather than clickbait and emotional manipulation.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:36) Opening Conversation(03:25) Guest Introductions(09:12) Discussion on Current Events and Truth Seeking(11:14) Reactions to Charlie Kirk's Assassination(17:19) Conspiracy Theories and Media Influence(42:00) Candace Owens(47:35) The Importance of Reason and Truth-Seeking(50:02) The Role of Influencers and Propaganda(52:52) The Complexity of Middle Eastern Politics(56:21) The Roots of Antisemitism and Historical Context(01:02:36) Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: Philosophical Differences(01:11:42) The Talmud Misconceptions(01:15:27) The Dangers of Collective Blame(01:30:50) The Pursuit of Truth vs. Being Right(01:32:07) The State of America and Government Actions(01:34:58) The Influence of Communism and Historical Parallels(01:36:40) Metaphysics vs. Physical Solutions(01:39:07) The Role of Religion in Society(01:42:39) Concerns About Christian Revival and Theocracy(01:51:12) The Power of the Individual vs. The Collective(01:56:47) Closing Thoughts on Individuality and FreedomGuest Linkshttps://www.dwtruthwarrior.com/ https://dwtruthwarrior.substack.com/ https://mattpresti.substack.com/ https://www.mattpresti.com/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysWatch Joel’s Presentation: “Myths to Awaken the Soul”Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
In this episode, we sit down with Jesse Elder—unschooled Austin native, former MMA fighter, martial arts empire builder, and self-described action philosopher—for an exploration of his unconventional path. From a childhood shaped by radical trust and self-directed learning, to building and selling multiple martial arts schools, navigating divorce, and reinventing himself as a strategic advisor, Jesse shares the pivotal experiences that shaped his worldview. We explore his philosophy of living without guilt or fear, the importance of curiosity and breaking patterns, and what it means to embody authenticity while blending deep thought with inspired action.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:37) Opening Conversation(04:55) Jesse Elder's Background and Philosophy(06:17) The Power of Technology and Connection(08:09) Jesse's Unique Upbringing(14:35) Self-Directed Learning and Personal Passions(20:09) Selling the Martial Arts Empire(23:11) Life After Divorce and Reinvention(33:18) The Impact of Pornography and Personal Growth(42:27) What is The Action Philosopher?(47:18) Reflecting on Aggression and Philosophy(47:59) Meeting Heroes and Facing Disappointment(53:24) Exploring the Nature of Reality(58:13) Facing Mortality and Extending Life(01:07:05) Near-Death Experiences and Life Lessons(01:28:27) The Authenticity Apocalypse(01:30:55) Final ThoughtsGuest Linkshttps://jesseelder.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thetimepiercer/ https://www.facebook.com/jesseelderlive Connect with UsWatch Joel’s Presentation: “Myths to Awaken the Soul”Join our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
In this episode, we dive deep with Stefanos Sifandos into the hidden wounds and unconscious patterns that quietly shape the way we love and relate. From the absence of healthy rites of passage in modern culture to the unspoken impact of the mother wound, Stefanos unpacks how unresolved trauma, confusion about identity, and unexamined survival strategies keep so many of us cycling through pain in intimacy and partnership. Through raw honesty and lived experience, he reminds us that real transformation is not about quick fixes but a lifelong process of facing ourselves with courage, compassion, and integrity—ultimately allowing us to build relationships rooted in truth and growth.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:30) Opening Conversation(05:20) Stefanos' Personal Hero's Journey(12:04) The Turning Point: A Catalyst for Change(14:45) The Journey into Personal Transformation(18:27) Challenges in Modern Relationships(32:29) The Role of Polarity in Relationships(44:59) The Mother Wound and Male Fragility(46:06) The Impact of Parental Influence(49:16) Mentors and Influential Books(54:11) The Role of Somatic Experiencing(01:00:09) Unconditional Love and Relationships(01:09:04) Devotion and Commitment in Modern Relationships(01:20:10) Messages to Men and Women(01:23:24) Conclusion and ResourcesGuest Linkshttps://stefanossifandos.com/https://coachwithstef.com/https://www.instagram.com/stefanossifandos/Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
In this episode, we dive into the extraordinary journey of an ordinary man who was thrust into the legal system and, through relentless struggle, uncovered the hidden machinery driving family courts, governments, and corporations. What began as a personal battle over divorce and child support revealed a multi-trillion-dollar industry built on negotiable instruments, exposing how the system profits off human lives. Through years of trial, error, and perseverance, Cal Washington discovered the ancient roots of Lex Mercatoria—the Law Merchant—and how commerce, not justice, underpins the courts we think serve us. From facing jail time to holding judges accountable, to creating notices of liability that caused officials and apparently even a royal to step down, his story is one of grit, awakening, and empowerment. This is an eye-opening conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about law, power, and freedom.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:27) Opening Conversation(04:29) Introducing Cal Washington(06:51) Cal Washington's Legal Journey(08:39) The Divorce Industry Exposed(14:36) Understanding the Legal System(17:18) The Power of Commerce in Law(21:39) Cal's Personal Legal Battles(27:15) The Role of Law Merchant(35:10) Courtroom Experiences and Strategies(44:24) The Impact of Legal Knowledge(48:14) Unexpected Arrest and Meeting a Lawyer(49:24) Legal Maneuvers and Promissory Note(51:30) Escalation and Government Response(55:11) Empower Movement and Smart Meters(58:55) Notices of Liability and Public Impact(01:03:21) Financial System and Wealth Transfer(01:10:47) Personal Compliance and Legal Strategies(01:19:54) Biblical Contracts and Legal Principles(01:23:39) Future Vision and System Reset(01:28:53) Practical Applications and Final ThoughtsGuest Linkshttps://www.inpowermovement.org/hereforthetruth ($50 discount available)Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked role of men in the birthing process and the profound rite of passage it represents for fathers, mothers, and children alike. We explore how devotion, presence, and embodied masculinity can transform not only the birth experience but the entire foundation of family life. From challenging the medicalized narratives that strip away natural sovereignty, to honoring birth as a spiritual initiation that shapes identity, resilience, and connection, this conversation is a call for men to reclaim their rightful place as protectors, anchors, and conscious participants in one of life’s most powerful thresholds.Time Stamps (00:00) Episode Teaser(00:39) Intro(06:26) Simon Esler's Personal Journey and Creative Pursuits(18:53) Navigating Sociopolitical Differences in the Arts(29:32) The Role of Masculinity in Birth and Pregnancy(42:18) Success Stories of Alternative Medicine(45:02) The Role of Fathers in Birth and Family(47:33) The Rite of Passage in Birth(49:51) Impact of C-Sections on Birth Experience(52:06) Challenges and Pressures in Modern Birth Practices(57:41) Breastfeeding and the Family Unit(01:03:14) Fatherhood and Devotion(01:15:43) Balancing Work and Family as a Father(01:23:18) Balancing Chaos and Parenting(01:24:07) Understanding Human Design in Family Dynamics(01:26:58) The Importance of Devotion and Presence(01:30:17) The Transformative Power of Birth for Men(01:36:06) Navigating Birth Experiences and Medical Systems(01:43:46) Reclaiming Birth and Cultural Conditioning(01:48:55) The Reclaiming Birth Conference(01:53:44) Final Reflections and Community EngagementGuest Linkshttps://www.simonesler.com/ https://www.reclaimingbirthconference.com/simon-esler (use code SIMON15 for 15% off your ticket)https://www.instagram.com/simon_esler1111/ Previous episodes with SimonConnect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
Natasha Nazerali was raised between the material drive of her father and the spiritual awakening of her mother, and from an early age was immersed in powerful knowledge, particularly German New Medicine as a framework for understanding our biology. Her path carried her through childhood therapy sessions, artistic pursuits, rebellion in adolescence, psychic sensitivities, and ultimately the life-altering loss of her father in 2020—a turning point that called her back to GNM and the deeper purpose of guiding others toward sovereignty and freedom in their health.In this conversation we explore the five biological laws, common misconceptions about GNM, and the importance of family systems and “returning to the mother.” We also dive into raising children with GNM, the biological and societal impact of circumcision, and the role of perception in shaping health. At its heart, this dialogue is about awakening, responsibility, and embodying truth and love through our biology and our lives.Time Stamps(00:34) Opening Conversation(06:43) Introducing Natasha Nazerali(13:17) Navigating Childhood and Holistic Healing(23:21) Meeting the Psychic Medium(33:06) The Awakening: A Life Transformed by Loss and Purpose(46:24) Understanding Perceptions of German New Medicine(51:42) The Impact of Vaccination on Personal Beliefs and Community Dynamics(01:03:10) Navigating Guilt and Responsibility in Relationships(01:10:34) Circumcision and Its Psychological Impact Through the GNM Lens(01:15:50) Exploring the Impact of Circumcision on Masculinity(01:28:15) The Sound of Destiny(01:35:22) The Evolution of Understanding: A Community's Journey(01:45:32) Exploring the Intersection of GNM and HomeopathyGuest Linkshttps://www.natashanazerali.com/ https://www.drmelissasell.com/biological-woman https://thegnmweekend.com/ https://www.natashanazerali.com/gnm-homeopathy-course Here for the Truth GNM Foundations Episode 163:https://hereforthetruth.com/episode163Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
In this episode, we welcome back chef, regenerative farmer, and author Mollie Engelhart to explore the timeless truth that Nature Never Lies. Drawing from her new book Debunked by Nature and her journey from running restaurants in Los Angeles to stewarding Sovereignty Ranch in Texas, Mollie shares hard-earned wisdom on resilience, sovereignty, and the deeper meaning of reproductive health.Through candid reflections on failure, faith, masculinity, and the entrepreneurial spirit, she reminds us that nature offers the ultimate blueprint for truth, health, and human thriving. This conversation is a call to return to the agrarian way of life, reclaim our role as stewards, and align with God’s design in order to cultivate a more vital future.Time Stamps(00:00) Nature's Truth(00:34) Episode Intro(01:10) Introducing Molly Engelhart(07:34) Molly's Journey and Resilience(09:52) Facing Challenges and Embracing Change(14:15) The Importance of Soil and Human Health(18:00) Navigating Government and Societal Structures(25:26) Reproductive Health and Rights(37:34) Molly's Hip-Hop Industry Involvement(42:58) The Importance of Emotional Resilience(44:37) The Entrepreneurial Spirit(46:21) Balancing Big Picture and Details(01:04:05) The Role of Masculinity(01:15:08) Understanding Sexuality and Compassion(01:16:04) Personal Experiences and Compassion(01:21:31) The Power of Framing Trauma(01:25:05) The Inspiration Behind the Book(01:39:22) The Impact of Community Support(01:46:17) Final Thoughts and ReflectionsGuest Linkshttps://debunkedbynature.com/ Food Is Medicine Event - Sept 25-28https://www.instagram.com/talktomollie/ https://www.sovereigntyranch.com/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
In this episode, we sit down with Lara J. Day, author of The Thirteen Sacred Nights Oracle, to uncover the hidden history of our holidays and the deeper meaning behind seasonal rituals. From the ancient solstice traditions encoded in sacred sites to the rebranding of Christmas by Victorian elites and the corporate creation of Santa Claus, we trace how human beings have always used ritual to align with nature, release tension, and connect to the sacred.Lara also shares her personal journey into qigong and the origins of the Thirteen Sacred Nights practice, a time of presence and intention-setting that offers an antidote to the chaos of hyper-commercialized holidays. This conversation invites us to remember what was lost, reclaim the wisdom of the seasons, and plant seeds in the fertile darkness for the year to come.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:32) Mini Conversation w/ Joel & Yerasimos(08:09) Introducing Lara J.

Homeopathy is a centuries-old system of medicine that works on the vibrational level to restore harmony to both body and spirit — yet its extraordinary success and rich history have been buried by medical suppression. In this conversation, Melissa Kupsch shares how this gentle but powerful modality broke her sister’s six-year cycle of debilitating illness, altered the course of her own life, and continues to transform the lives of her clients.We explore how homeopathy addresses the deeper blueprint of a person’s being, its unmatched results during historic epidemics, and the forces that pushed it out of the mainstream. This is a rare look at a healing tradition that doesn’t just manage symptoms, but can rewrite the energetic patterns shaping our health, our fate, and our lives.Time Stamps (00:29) Intro(00:49) Deep Dive into Homeopathy with Melissa Kupsch(03:35) Melissa's Personal Journey with Homeopathy(07:32) The Power of Homeopathic Remedies(16:32) Origins and History of Homeopathy(24:21) Homeopathy in Modern Times(29:13) The Role of Homeopaths and Their Training(34:26) Personal Stories and Transformations(48:27) Addressing Trauma and Healing with Homeopathy(53:30) Family Reactions to Homeopathy(53:45) A Wholesome Doctor's Perspective(54:52) Medical Family Background(55:16) Misconceptions About Australia(57:04) Creating Homeopathic Remedies(58:11) The Power of Frequency in Homeopathy(59:36) Homeopathy in Action: Real-Life Examples(01:01:23) Sympathy with the Body: The Philosophy of Homeopathy(01:08:05) Tissue Salts vs. Homeopathics(01:10:00) Understanding Homeopathic Dosages(01:14:48) The Future of Homeopathy(01:28:42) Finding the Right Homeopath(01:36:30) Building a Homeopathic FutureGuest Linkshttps://rmdycollective.org/ https://rmdyacademy.org/ Connect with UsSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

This episode weaves together the 2020 helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, the Diddy scandal in hip-hop, and the circumstances surrounding Michael Jordan's father's death during his basketball retirement. We discuss Kobe's Black Mamba alter ego, his occult-themed children's books, predictive programming in entertainment, and the esoteric influences that may permeate celebrity culture. From Faustian bargains to ritual sacrifice theories, we explore the currents that some believe operate behind the scenes of fame and fortune, encouraging listeners to think critically about the symbols and patterns that may be hidden in plain sight throughout our entertainment landscape.Time Stamps (00:37) Intro(00:42) Introducing Isaac Weishaupt(03:11) Isaac's Journey into Alternative Research(05:05) Faith and Personal Background(09:18) Starting Illuminati Watcher(13:50) Challenges in the Truth Community(25:06) Diddy and the Occult(34:28) Discovering Kobe Bryant(35:59) Theories and Speculations(36:52) Predictive Programming in Media(38:23) Kobe's Occult Connections(43:18) The Black Mamba Persona(44:17) LeBron James and Kobe's Legacy(45:25) Occult Symbolism in Sports(01:02:17) The Alchemist and New Age Practices(01:06:09) The Author's Influence and Potential Dangers(01:07:57) Debating Aleister Crowley's Legacy(01:10:23) Kobe Bryant's Occult Connections(01:21:59) Michael Jordan's Mysterious Hiatus(01:28:41) The Dark Side of the Music Industry(01:33:08) Wrapping Up and Final ThoughtsGuest Linkshttps://allmylinks.com/isaacw https://www.instagram.com/isaacweishaupt/ Connect with UsSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Stanton Hom for a powerful conversation that traces the unlikely path from military academy to chiropractic care, and from deep suppression of emotion to open-hearted leadership. We explore the hidden history and radical roots of chiropractic, how it became disconnected from its original philosophy, and why Dr. Stanton believes reclaiming its essence is key to true healing. He shares openly about his own journey through grief and how it cracked open his understanding of health, embodiment, and human potential. We also get into vitalism, medical dogma and the courage required to choose authenticity over belonging.Time Stamps (00:36) Introducing the new Rise Above The Herd(03:03) Meet Dr. Stanton Holm(05:05) Dr. Stanton Hom's Journey(07:18) Discovering Holistic Healing(11:01) The Chiropractic Breakthrough(12:21) The Power of Chiropractic(14:31) Speaking Out During C*VID(19:44) Hosting Freedom Events(25:51) Chiropractic History and Vaccine Awareness(34:01) Personal Healing Journey(34:38) Chiropractic Commission and Division(38:33) Chiropractic's Historical Roots(41:36) Chiropractic's Global Expansion(46:35) Modern Chiropractic Challenges(54:13) Chiropractic's Impact on Children(01:06:33) Closing Thoughts and Future DirectionsGuest Linkshttps://futuregenerationssd.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom/ Connect with UsSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
In this episode, we sit down with Richard Grannon for a raw and wide-ranging conversation about trauma, perception, and the psychology of narcissism. He shares insights on how narcissistic dynamics take root, why the popular use of the term often misses the mark, and how childhood wounds shape adult identity and behavior. We explore the cost of outsourcing meaning-making, the traps of victimhood and blame, and the deeper process of reclaiming one’s internal authority. This is a conversation about power, responsibility, and what it takes to stop living in a reality defined by your past.Time Stamps (00:00) Start(00:37) Introduction to Richard Grannon and His Work(02:29) Richard Grannon's Personal Journey(05:48) Defining Narcissism Clinically(09:15) Childhood Conditions Leading to Narcissism(12:28) Different Types of Narcissism(12:59) The Over-Pathologization of Society(17:22) Critique of Modern Psychology(30:18) The Role of Purpose and Suffering in Modern Life(45:36) Exploring the Mystical Tradition and Self-Awareness(45:56) Rites of Passage and Cultural Context(46:39) The Individual vs. The Collective(54:24) Narcissism and Therapy(59:12) AI and Narcissism(01:08:02) Codependency and Childhood Influences(01:20:36) Parentification and Emotional Incest(01:23:18) Reflections on Fatherhood and Personal Choices(01:25:47) Conclusion and Final ThoughtsGuest Linkshttps://www.richardgrannon.com/https://www.instagram.com/richard.grannon/Connect with UsSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
What does it really mean to take your power back—and how do you sustain it once you do?In this fifth appearance, Alec Zeck returns for a wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond health. We explore the deeper layers of personal responsibility, the psychological traps that keep people outsourcing their authority, and the ways collective programming shows up in everyday life. Alec shares reflections on leadership, internal coherence, and how to build real-world community in an era of isolation and digital noise.We also dive into the importance of purpose, the difference between being awake and being weaponized, and why the future belongs to those willing to do the inner work.

In this episode, we sit down with writing coach and industry strategist Nick Jobe for a conversation that moves well beyond the professional. He shares openly about growing up with fear and health anxiety, the impact of early emotional neglect, and the long process of stepping into personal responsibility and self-worth. We explore how EMDR helped him rewire long-held patterns, how COVID became a catalyst for questioning mainstream narratives, and why he draws a hard line when it comes to using AI in creative work. This is a conversation about value, alignment, and what it takes to stop living at odds with yourself…personally, relationally, and vocationally.Time Stamps (0:00) Start(02:19) - Nick Jobe: The Writing Coach (03:18) - The Journey of Fear and Imagination (11:35) - Navigating Growth Through Adversity (16:32) - Transitioning Life in Los Angeles (24:38) - Navigating Trauma and Healing (28:42) - Reframing Trauma and EMDR Therapy (35:12) - The Value Explosion: A Journey to Self-Worth (42:20) - The Awakening: Understanding Media Influence (48:32) - Disrupting the Entertainment Industry (57:02) - The Weaponization of Humility in the Entertainment Industry (01:02:20) - The Impact of AI on Artistic Integrity (01:04:47) - The Impact of AI on Artistic Expression (01:10:57) - The Impact of Language Models on Creative Writing (01:16:08) - The Value of Personal Creativity (01:23:18) - The Impact of AI on Creativity (01:26:15) - Navigating Creative Blocks and Tools Guest Linkshttps://www.pageonetv.com/https://www.beyondthescript.tv/Connect with UsSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
This conversation examines the shadow aspects of the ayahuasca movement as our guest reveals disturbing patterns within ceremonial spaces, from sexual predation to spiritual bypassing and psychological manipulation. The discussion gets intense as we explore the commodification of indigenous medicine, the lack of proper integration support, and whether the plant medicine boom is creating more harm than healing. From vulnerable participants being exploited by unqualified facilitators to the Western appropriation of sacred traditions, this unflinching examination challenges the narrative that plant medicines are automatically beneficial or transformative. Through personal stories of demonic possession in 100-person ceremonies, predatory shamans, and nervous system burnout from excessive use, we confront the uncomfortable reality that the embrace of psychedelics by modern ‘spiritual communities’ may be masking deeper issues of addiction, escapism, and spiritual materialism rather than fostering genuine healing and integration.https://amberleesky.com/ https://www.instagram.com/amberlee.sky/Subscribe to Here for the Truth Fridays.Take the Real AF Test Now!Discover Your Truth Seeker Archetype.Join our membership Friends of the Truth.Watch all our episodes.Connect with us on Telegram.Access all our links.Hosted by Joel Rafidi & YerasimosIntro and outro music: Illusion by Joel Rafidi
This conversation explores radical perspectives on spirituality, ancient wisdom, and the nature of reality itself as our guest challenges deeply held beliefs about astrology, healing modalities, and human consciousness. The discussion gets passionate as we explore competing views on shamanic practices, therapeutic approaches, and the role of personal responsibility in spiritual growth. From indigenous traditions to feminine alchemy, this raw examination creates thoughtful discourse where disagreement sparks deeper inquiry into what authentic healing looks like, how much control we truly have over our lives, and whether the spiritual systems we trust are actually serving us.https://selfmasteryquest.com/Subscribe to Here for the Truth Fridays.Take the Real AF Test Now!Discover Your Truth Seeker Archetype.Join our membership Friends of the Truth.Watch all our episodes.Connect with us on Telegram.Access all our links.Hosted by Joel Rafidi & YerasimosIntro and outro music: Illusion by Joel Rafidi
Michael Tsarion, a distinguished author and researcher, returns for the sixth installment on Here for the Truth.
