Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson, 99 years ago this week. Rising to fame in the 1950s, she captivated audiences with her beauty, charm, and vulnerability. She starred in numerous successful films, including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Seven Year Itch, and Some Like It Hot, solidifying her status as a Hollywood legend. Despite her glamorous public image, Norma Jeane battled with personal struggles including mental health issues, substance abuse, and a string of troubled relationships. On August 5, 1962, Norma Jeane was found dead in her Los Angeles home at the age of 36. The official cause of death was listed as a probable suicide due to an overdose of barbiturates. A bottle of sleeping pills was found near her bed, and she had reportedly been dealing with depression in the weeks leading up to her death. However, her death has remained shrouded in mystery and controversy. Numerous inconsistencies in the timeline of her final hours, the delay in contacting authorities, and the disappearance of personal documents and records have fueled speculation that her death may not have been a simple suicide. Some believe that foul play was involved, citing her alleged affairs with high-profile political figures such as President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy as a possible motive for a cover-up. Other theories range from involvement by the CIA or FBI to suggestions that Norma was silenced due to knowledge of state secrets. Whether her death was a tragic accident, a suicide, or something more sinister, it remains one of Hollywood’s most tragic mysteries.

What secrets can we find? What has been kept hush for thousands of years? Today we'll be discussing only some of the major conspiracy theories surrounding the Vatican. Specifically, we will discuss the three secrets of Fatima, proof of extraterrestrial life, and time machines... Is the church keeping us all in the dark?

Memorial Day is the US holiday observed on the last Monday of May, to honor our military personnel who have died in service to the country. Originally known as Decoration Day, the holiday began after the Civil War to commemorate fallen soldiers, and over time, it expanded to include all U.S. military service members who died in wars and conflicts. It is a day of remembrance and reflection to honor the sacrifices made by the armed forces and their families. Now Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day – which is observed on November 11 of each year, and honors all military veterans who have served both in wartime and peacetime, and recognizes the contributions of all veterans – both living and deceased. If you’ve been listening to this podcast for a while, you know that we are huge supporters of the military and we love our veterans. So in honor of the holiday, I thought we would take a look at some of the other sacrifices our military servicemen and women have made over the years, often without their knowledge. Unfortunately, many of these have proof proof – so they don’t really even fall into the “conspiracy theory” realm, but they are definitely conspiracies…
