In this episode of Hard Truths, special guest Dana Kippel explores plasma as more than a physical state of matter, examining its potential role as a fundamental medium underlying reality, consciousness, and unexplained phenomena.

The conversation challenges conventional physics by revisiting sidelined ideas such as radiant matter, the ether, and plasma cosmology, and asks whether key frameworks were abandoned rather than resolved. It also examines why many UFO and UAP sightings may be better understood as self-organizing plasma phenomena, rather than mechanical craft.

Beyond physics, Dana connects plasma to non-local consciousness, information fields, and human perception, suggesting that modern science may be missing the medium that links mind, matter, and energy. Rather than focusing on external disclosure narratives, the discussion emphasizes human agency, suppressed lines of inquiry, and the limits of current scientific models.

This episode offers a systems-level perspective on what may have been left out of modern physics and why it matters.
Wyatt Meldman-Floch joins Hard Truths The conversation explores:
  • The search for alien life. Are we looking the right way?
  • How centralized infrastructure quietly enables market manipulation and information asymmetry
  • Breakaway civilizations and how transparency-first networks shift that power balance
  • How Reality’s global DEX removes control points used to suppress technology and steer markets
Wyatt breaks down RealityNet with Ashton Forbes as a new truth layer for the internet, inspired by Bitcoin’s core insight: remove trusted intermediaries and let cryptography decide. Apps on Reality run on decentralized compute across home computers and laptops, with devices operating peer-to-peer to keep the network alive. Consensus emerges from the geometry of the network, drawing on principles from physics and sacred geometry to organize information and time without centralized control. The result is a new layer of the decentralized internet. One where corporations stop renting us trust, and participant-owned community networks take their place. Reality also introduces a global decentralized exchange, enabling atomic swaps between any digital currencies. Because its consensus can directly observe other blockchains, markets can coordinate without wrappers, custodians, or hidden intermediaries. At its core, Reality returns crypto to its cypherpunk roots, where truth emerges from code, participation, and shared ownership rather than authority. Anyone can participate today by mining $NET on testnet with the Reality Portal app on Windows, Mac, or Linux. Download it, run a node and help build this revolutionary network.

In this episode of the Hard Truths Podcast, we dive into the hidden physics behind fusion weapons, the suppressed breakthroughs they revealed, and the civilization-changing technology that followed.

This conversation with special guest, Jason Jorjani, explores how early fusion detonations exposed phenomena that standard nuclear theory could not explain …effects involving spacetime, gravitational coupling, and energy behaviors far beyond public science.

These discoveries became the foundation for classified research programs, new theoretical models, and technologies considered too destabilizing for society to fully understand.
On this episode of Hard Truths, Ashton Forbes sits down with Ian Crossland for a candid conversation about the intersection of UFOs, plasma technology, and black projects. We dive into the possibility that some UAP sightings could be explained by plasma drones and hidden energy systems, and explore whether fusion and zero-point energy breakthroughs are being withheld from the public. The discussion goes beyond technology into questions of control, secrecy, and disclosure. Why certain discoveries remain classified, how narratives are shaped, and what the implications could be for freedom, security, and the future of humanity. If you’re interested in suppressed science, UFOs, and the hidden forces behind national security, this episode offers perspectives you won’t hear in mainstream discussions.

In this episode of Hard Truths, Ashton Forbes sits down with Bob Greenyer for a jaw-dropping exploration of the technologies that already exist — and why most people have never heard of them. From cold fusion and coherent matter beams to vacuum energy extraction, plasma-based weapons, and the manipulation of space-time, Greenyer outlines a vision of physics and engineering that has been demonstrated, documented, and in many cases — buried. Together, Ashton and Bob explore: LENR (low energy nuclear reactions) and the Rossi E-Cat Evidence of stable plasma structures and exotic charge clusters. How energy can be extracted from the vacuum (ZPE). Advanced propulsion, electromagnetic containment, and coherent matter. The potential for weaponization of these technologies. Why this science remains suppressed or ignored by mainstream institutions. This episode goes deep into the real-world data, historical patents, and experimental systems that point to a technological paradigm shift already in motion — decades ahead of public awareness.
In this episode of Hard Truths, Randall Carlson and I explore the intersection of plasma physics, ancient catastrophe, and sacred geometry as a framework for understanding Earth's forgotten past. Carlson explains how high-energy plasma discharges in the ancient sky may have caused massive upheavals, erasing civilizations and leaving behind geological and mythological evidence across the world. We discuss how these catastrophic plasma events align with known cyclical patterns, and how ancient builders encoded geometry, proportion, and vibration into their architecture to reflect cosmic truths — possibly as a warning to future generations.

#21 | NASA Scientist - Einstein was WRONG Light is a WAVE

89 min Transcript
Open
In this interview, Ashton Forbes sits down with physicist Dr. Weiping Yu to explore Uon Theory — a new framework proposing that magnetism is the fundamental force behind all interactions in the universe. Dr. Yu discusses how this perspective challenges conventional views on gravity, mass, light, and energy. Topics include the nature of zero-point energy, why dark matter and dark energy may be unnecessary concepts, and how light behaves as a mechanical wave rather than a particle. Dr. Yu explains how fusion, gravity control, and even space propulsion could be revolutionized by understanding magnetism at a fundamental level. This conversation dives into the implications of unifying the fundamental forces, rethinking modern physics, and tapping into the vacuum energy all around us.
In this third appearance on Hard Truths, US Navy engineer Dr. Salvatore Pais returns for his most in-depth conversation yet. Pais, the mind behind the controversial "UFO patents" filed with the Navy, opens up about his revolutionary work in advanced propulsion, fusion energy, and spacetime engineering. Host Ashton Forbes guides a wide-ranging discussion covering the theoretical and practical implications of:
  • Warp drives, room-temperature superconductors, and the Pais Effect
  • Negative energy, gravity manipulation, and faster-than-light travel
  • Fusion technology, the Schwinger limit, and doomsday-level energy densities
  • Artificial general intelligence (AGI) and sentient AI concerns
  • The real meaning behind "we’ve had this tech for decades"
Pais also discusses why the Navy fought to validate his patents, why his work was never classified, and why humanity may not need alien tech to unlock the secrets of the universe. "We don't need extraterrestrial technology. Human minds can do this." – Dr. Salvatore Pais This episode is both a physics masterclass and a philosophical exploration into the nature of consciousness, time, and what lies beyond the known limits of science.
What if everything you’ve been told about UFOs, aliens, and secret government tech is a lie? In this episode of Hard Truths, Ashton Forbes sits down with John DeSouza, a 25-year FBI to uncover the shocking truth behind plasma orbs, UAPs, and government disinformation. 🔹 Was the Tic Tac UFO a classified US weapon? 🔹 How deep does the cover-up go? 🔹 Are “aliens” really interdimensional beings? 🔹 What does Trump REALLY know about hidden tech? 🔹 Is the MH370 incident part of a much bigger conspiracy? John DeSouza reveals first-hand experiences with top-secret FBI cases, and Ashton breaks down the real science behind plasma weaponry and zero-point energy.
