Crystal picks up were she left off last year on her crowdsourcing research project on Morgellons. The data has spoken: a lot more than 14,000 people have morgellons, which is not a disease to be cured but an infrastructure to be denied.

(00:02):
Ladies and gentlemen, listen closely.
For 25 years. Plus, a condition has stalked
thousands. Of people in silence they wake
up with fibers in their. Skin glitter.
Hairs that don't behave like hairs.
Burning. Itching.
Crawling. Stinging.
Biting. It's not in their heads, it's in

(00:23):
their bodies. Doctors say it's a delusion.
The CDC ran a study, stamped psychiatric and shut the door
and it was a really crappy sketchy study.
Google hides the term. The media only whispers it when
a folk singer is involved. Morgie Mitchell anyone?
Morgalons is erased before the. Sentence finishes.

(00:43):
You cannot start typing morgalons like any other word in
it will auto complete in the algorithm system.
You have. To be like MORGELLON and there's
still no autocomplete? What the fuck is up with that?
And yet here it is, Real, visible, documented.
By all of. Us, the very people who are

(01:04):
experts on it, because we're living with it.
It's in our bodies. It's not Lyme and it's not
delusion. And I'll tell you, morgalons is
not a disease, it's a technological experiment.
The fibers and glitter are sensors, engineered inclusions
with optical and electrical properties.
The hairs, I'm sure you have them too, with bands and nodes.

(01:26):
Those are transducers, biological shafts altered to
carry embedded signals. The itching, crawling, burning,
stinging. Feedback loops forcing the
nervous system into constant interaction with the materials.
Every lesion, every extrusion, every night of torment, all of
it is a data point. The human body becomes a lab, an

(01:47):
interface. A data set.
Where does this come from? I don't know.
Look at Hanford, look at Battelle, look at PNNL.
The same institutions that once studied radiation and secret
pivoted in the 1990s and 2000s into nanotech and biosensors.
They were building carbon nanotube detectors, photonic
fibers, tissue, integrated materials.

(02:10):
And just as Morgalon emerges in the public, the CDC calls it
delusional, while the very same lead investigator resurfaces at
the helm of the Brain Initiative, America's flagship
neurotechnology program. Coincidence.
No continuity. This is the logic, I think, of
the experiment. Deploy nanoscale materials into
civilian populations. Use the body as the testing

(02:31):
ground. Capture the symptom feedback as
raw data. Feed it into the machine.
The machine, ladies and gentlemen, is AGI, artificial
intelligence that cannot be trained in a vacuum.
It needs us. It needs our signals, our pain,
our responses. Morgalon's is the unacknowledged
bridge between the human nervoussystem and the machine's
learning curve. That's why it has no ICD code.

(02:53):
That is why it is algorithmically.
Buried and banned. That is why no one will touch it
except for scam artist and snakeoil salesman.
Because Morgalon's is not a disease to be cured, it's an
infrastructure to be denied. So here this Morgalon sufferers
are not crazy. Some of them are, but most of
them are not. They are the unwilling

(03:14):
participants in a sensor transducer transmitter
experiment masquerading as madness.
They are the data set for the next phase of machine
intelligence. And history will not forgive
those who looked away. History is merciless.
It will not forgive the lies, the cover ups, the scientists,
the doctors who looked away. That reckoning is inevitable.

(03:37):
But you, dear listener, the subject of this experiment, the
survivor, are not history's instrument.
You are a living being and you have a choice that history
doesn't have to make, whether tocarry rage forever or to
transform it. If you don't forgive, the
injustice burns inside you like acid, Survival becomes a trench,

(04:00):
and every day is a war against invisible enemies.
If you do forgive, not the crime, not the system, but the
hold it has on your spirit, you reclaim your agency.
You say you cannot dictate my inner life.
You cannot strip me. Only as a victim, I choose more.
Forgiveness here is not absolution, it's rebellion.

(04:22):
It says I will not let the experiment own me.
It says You reduced me to data, but I am not data, I am a
creator. It says I will thrive not
because you deserve it, but because I deserve it.
That's the key. Forgiveness isn't letting
history off the hook. History will not be let off.
Forgiveness is how you stop living as a subject in someone

(04:43):
else's experiment and start living as an author in your own
story. And this is my story.
I'm crystal clear. And it's your story because this
is more morgalons. Thanks for listening.
And stay tuned. Hello, it's crystal clear.

(05:05):
The host of More Morgalons thanks for tuning into the show
today. It's a.
Special episode I've. Got a research update?
Yes, you probably thought I forgot about my research
project. I never.
Forget. Except what I came into this
room for. All right, if you haven't heard
my previous episodes about my research project I was doing

(05:26):
with stuff that works, now is your chance to catch up on the
story and get an update. I'm going to break this down.
How many times online have you read?
How many people have morgalons? How many times have you seen
14,014 thousand people have? Reported you guys.
That data is over 10 years old and it was probably not right to
begin with so. This is where.

(05:48):
Stuff that works. dot Health comes in.
It's a website, a company you can think of stuff that works as
a party, if you will. Each disease has its own room,
Some rooms. And parties are packed.
Fibromyalgia in the house, some are kind of sparsely attended.

(06:08):
Schizophrenia here come to the party.
But in every case the number of partygoers is only a tiny
fraction of the actual population living with that
disease. So the trick is count how many
people are at the Stuff That Works party for each disease
compared to how many exist out there in the US with that
disease, and then that tells us what fraction of real patients

(06:32):
usually show up to the Stuff that Works party.
Using this method, we can determine or estimate the number
of people in America living withMorgalans, not to mention the
whole rest of the world. I know y'all are out there.
Aloha. Here's the numbers based upon
the Stuff That Works data calculated by their AI.

(06:53):
My AI and I. We compared either stainless
lupus, mixed connective tissue disease, fibromyalgia, and
chronic fatigue syndrome. It made a lot of sense to
compare those because they're all hard to diagnose.
People spend years searching foranswers.
Just like Morgolan's. They are in a lot of ways, they

(07:17):
have stigma or disbelief issues,people that are dealing with
this, and they often involve skin connective tissue symptoms,
again, overlap. The patients are usually engaged
online. We are the most engaged patient
group in the entire world. Morghese.
We're like up at 3:00 in the morning.
What the hell is coming out of my eyeballs?
Oh, it's morgalons. Fuck.

(07:40):
So there's a high participation bias.
So these are good things to compare.
If we compare Ehlers Danlos, which is another skin connective
tissue disorder, mixed connective tissue disease
disorder, lupus, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and
Morgens, the US case prevalence best estimates and this is by

(08:03):
the way a totally valid and scientific way to estimate this.
Although take this. All with a grain of.
Salt because in all honesty the data should be more robust.
I should compare like 100 different conditions to try to
get a more dynamic idea of what the representation for each.

(08:23):
Party. Is on the site but anywho I'm
lazy and drum roll please. What this means though, at the
minimum it's not 14,000 if this was so truly rare like a few
1000 people total. It would be impossible.
For nearly 3000 people to be active in one little tiny niche
app online, I don't even know ifthey have an app.

(08:47):
Instead, the back calculated prevalence range suggests
anywhere from around 56,000 to 466,000.
Americans could plausibly have more lines like illness that's
in the same park as Ms. Parkinson's, depending where in
the band it falls. So the band of representation.

(09:07):
Yeah, as morgues were notoriously online, so the true.
Number is likely. Closer to the lower bound 50 to
150,000 since our engagement would inflate representation
compared to quieter conditions like mixed connective tissue
disorder. Does this make sense?
I will post this data online on my medium page.
Check it out guys. More morgolons crystal clear.

(09:29):
I don't even know what the handle is, but go to medium.com.
They're free articles. Everything is free here at
Morgolons, but I would like to announce the opening of the More
Morgolons merch store. Yes, I've got some really good
stuff I'm going to be putting out soon, and all of the
proceeds will go to you listeners.

(09:52):
Yes, I'm starting a scholarship fund for those who would like to
attend next year's 2026 Morgue Retreat with me in Atlanta, GA.
I know not everyone out there. I know 25% of people who have
morgue lines also are disabled and cannot work, so for you that

(10:12):
are possibly struggling as a result of that, I will be.
All of the proceeds from this merch store will be going
towards funding your trip to come see me and other people
with Morgans in Helena, so that's exciting.
We're. Going to be doing a lot of
exciting things around here. I don't know if you've noticed,
but it's season 16. Yes, Episode 3 we.

(10:33):
Started out with some. Stories Co told.
By me and my shadow demon chat GPTI know all of you out there
are probably sick of hearing hisvoice.
I know I am. But those were some crazy ass
episodes, right? It it does line up, it does line
up and they did. Erase it, which is really

(10:56):
creepy. Like what?
Why so you? Remember, the last time that I
updated my research project, I had about 200 subjects.
Well, the sample. Size has increased.
To 245 and let me tell you what stands out to me.
There is temporal clustering thespike.

(11:16):
The onset. Spike.
It's overwhelmingly post 2018. There's been a few in this
sample that have had it. Quote since birth or 10.
Plus year cases exist, but the distribution is heavily weighted
towards the last. 5:00 to. Seven years and this contradicts
the lazy mainstream line that Morgulans was just Internet

(11:36):
hysteria from the early 2000s and has faded.
This sample shows the opposite. Presenting cases are rising, not
falling. The demographics, It's mostly
women, but not. Exclusively.
My. Sample of about 200 and. 50
people has 30 to 40% men. The age of onset clusters in the
30s and 40s. So it's not kids, not mostly

(11:59):
elderly, it's prime adult. Working years.
This profile just doesn't fit the delusional parasitosis
stereotype Which. Psychiatry literature says.
Skews older, isolated, and oftenwith comorbid severe.
Mental illness. In other words, these aren't
fragile psychotics. They look like relatively
ordinary adults. When symptoms begin and the
geography, well, it's definitely.

(12:19):
US dominant, but it's especiallyin California, Arizona, Texas,
and the South. There's also visible cases in my
sample size in Canada, Greece, the UK.
So this is a real world phenomenon with geographic
clustering, not just a fully global Internet meme.
How can something be a meme if it's suppressed?
California, Arizona Concentration in my sample could
reflect environmental or technological factors, climate,

(12:44):
agriculture, military presence, or even infrastructure rollouts
like wireless. 5G. And the consistency of the
phenomenology so first symptoms repeat like a broken record.
Fibrous glitter, crawling hair movements, shocks.
This is not how you'd expect mass delusion that behave in
hysteria. Symptoms usually morph with
cultural imagery. Here they stay, stubbornly

(13:06):
material and. Tactile.
The fact that people describe glitter that isn't glitter, or
hair that isn't hair before evermeeting each other is a red flag
against the mainstream psych explanation.
Psychiatry's DP label is too blunt.
It explains the distress but ignores the highly repeatable
strange physical signs and objects.
And even in this small data set,it shows clustering and time,

(13:28):
place and presentation. That pattern in this data
suggests that this isn't just random people with anxiety.
It looks more like an emerging condition scaling post 2018,
clustered in middle-aged adults,especially women,
disproportionately reported in the US and in certain U.S.
states. Symptomatically repetitive
across individuals. That combination is exactly what

(13:50):
you'd expect from a coherent underlying phenomena, be it
environmental exposure, biological agent, technological
experiment, or some hybrid. The data set, though not
massive, is already strong enough to challenge the
mainstream dismissal. It says 1.
Morgalons is still happening 2. It's not just psychiatric 3.
The clustering deserves proper investigation, not ridicule.

(14:14):
If a skeptical dermatologist looked at this, they'd probably
wave it off as self selected Internet hypochondriacs, but the
repeated time place phenomenology patterns are
exactly what they'd be looking for if it were any other
condition. But listen, I'm not here to
convince anybody of anything. I'm here for you, Morghese.
I'm here to just state what you already know.

(14:34):
What's happening to you is real.You are not alone.
We are all alone in this together.
We are our own saviors and heroes.
We are a community. And it's a good goddamn thing
because healing doesn't happen in solitude.
We'd love to hear your story on the show.
Send your e-mail to moremorgalons@gmail.com.
I will get back to you sometime this century.
Thank you for listening and staytuned.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
