In this powerful conversation, we welcome back Craig McKee, the voice behind Truth and Shadows and one of the leading researchers on 9/11 and controlled narratives. Craig walks us through the current state of the 9/11 truth movement, why optimism is building after two decades, and how politicians, whistleblowers, and even mainstream podcasters are beginning to reopen discussions that were once career suicide. We dive deep into the Pentagon evidence, controlled demolition theories, and the way AI and digital manipulation are shaping what “truth” even means in 2025.
But this episode goes beyond 9/11. Together, we explore false flags, media censorship, “digital book burning,” and how conspiracy labels have been weaponized to silence dissent. From Martin Luther King’s assassination to the Boston Marathon bombing and beyond, Craig shares the fingerprints of manipulation across history while we reflect on the importance of integrity, discernment, and staying grounded in a world of shadows. If you’ve ever felt the weight of deception but also the hope of awakening, this is the conversation you’ll want to sit with.
