What is the modern roots of the Breakaway Civilization? When did the first experiments with space crafts and anti gravity start? Whence did these exotic ideas stem? How is the old classical elite involved? How is psychism related to this technological aspect of reality? Was Nikola Tesla involved in launching a spaceship to Mars in 1908 (!!!)...? If so, what happened to that expedition? Journalist Tim Swartz joins the Forum and relates some lesser known info regarding all of this, which points to the germ of different factions. ... and we learn about his childhood experience that opened him up to the world of the obscure & the weird. :: :: :: :: All programs are gratis & listener funded.
