Show Sample for 01/09/26: Eyes Wide Open - Deepfakes, Digital Ghosts, And The Rise Of A.I. Crime w/Dr. Katherine Albrecht:

What are the crimes of A.I.—right now, in the real world—and who benefits? Tonight on Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis, guest-host Richard Syrett goes straight at the question most networks won’t touch without a corporate sponsor hovering over the copy desk. His guest is Dr. Katherine Albrecht: internationally known privacy expert, bestselling author, and co-founder of the encrypted email service StartMail. For decades, she has mapped the hidden infrastructure of surveillance—warning about RFID tracking, corporate data extraction, and the steady conversion of human life into something measurable, tradable, and controllable. This episode frames A.I. less as a shiny tool and more as a multiplier for misconduct—a system that can industrialize harm at scale, then shrug and blame “the algorithm.”

The new year serves as a natural moment for reflection and reset. This sense of starting over seems to be connected with cycles in nature and the sky. Humanity has long been fascinated with celestial events – of which there are many to look forward to in 2026 – the “Year of the Fire Horse” in the Chinese Zodiac. Our emotions, behaviors, and relationships have come to be associated with the movements of planetary bodies. Understanding these cycles can help with self-awareness, emotional balance, and personal growth. Tonight, Jeremy Scott sits in for Clyde Lewis and is joined by astrologers Mary Dusina and Jeff Harman They discuss ‘The Cosmic Reset’ – a coming global transformation marked by geopolitical tensions, unrest, and days of disclosure during what could be one of the most game-changing cycles this century.

Of all the opinions and perspectives on Venezuela, the re-emergence of the Iraq Stargate conspiracy was surprising. The claim is that US involvement in this South American country is a result of recently discovered artifacts and archaeological sites. The Venezuela Stargate conspiracy doesn’t seem as popular, but it might lead to similar obfuscation of the motivations from oil companies and gold miners. These sensationalized cosmic claims and their implications of aliens are cheaply produced clickbait. Tonight on this episode of Ground Zero, Ryan Gable talks with Jared Murphy about VENEZUELAN STARGATES.

Tonight on Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis—guest-hosted by Richard Syrett—we tear away the veil on a war most people don’t even realize they’re fighting. Author and researcher David Masters joins Richard to expose what he calls the oldest conflict in human history—an Invisible Spiritual War waged not with bombs or bullets, but with thoughts, trauma, technology, and deception. This is not a metaphor. This is not theology-as-poetry. According to Masters, it is an active, strategic battle for the human soul, unfolding right now—quietly, relentlessly, and by invitation.

There are several words-of-year for 2025: Oxford has "rage bait" after last year's "brain rot." Webster has "slop." Dictionary.com has "67," which is a diverse meme. This year has continued the 2024 trend of a planet spinning much faster than has been recorded before, triggering debates about removing a second from the clock, i.e., the negative leap second. 2025 also brought us, as evidenced by the online slop of 67, which results in perpetual rage bait and a variety of increasingly dumber conspiracies. Tonight, Ryan Gable fills in for Clyde Lewis and talks with the founder of Reverse Speech, David Oates. Listen to Ground Zero, M-F, 7-10pm, pacific on groundzeroplus.com.

It is that time of the year again, mainly that of the Winter Solstice, ghost riders, the wild hunt, Krampus, Belsnickel, Befana, Joulupukki, and, of course, Santa and baby Jesus. Few have probably ever considered how much like Halloween the Christmas season really is: from ghosts and monsters to the contractual obligations set forward in both the trick-or-treat agreement and the Santa “clause,” otherwise known as the naughty-or-nice list. The lights, ornaments, gifts, botanicals, and evergreen vegetation serve many roles in decorating for the holiday, or holy day, season. From real characters to mythological monsters; from folklore to modern religious celebrations; and from natural cyclical changes to interpretations of nature as the end-times apocalypse, it is certainly beginning to look a lot like Krampus. Tonight, Ryan Gable fills in for Clyde Lewis and talks with Andrew Cox, owner of Nexus Occult Books, and Chad Lewis, paranormal investigator and author. Listen to Ground Zero, M-F, 7-10pm, pacific on groundzeroplus.com. Call in to the LIVE show at 503-225-0860.

Tonight On Ground Zero: Mobius Stripper The United States is reportedly the number one user of OnlyFans, a company run by a modern Magnus Hirschfeld named Leonid Radvinsky, according to the 2025 end-of-year report. In the end-of-year 2025 search-result report from Pornhub, run by another Hirschfeld since 2023, named Solomon Friedman, searches for “femboy,” general LGBTQ, and “transgender” exploded in popularity. According to the data: “’ Trans threesome' up 67 per cent. 'Trans amateur' rose 49 per cent. Interestingly, this is the same type of material that was targeted for burning in 1930s Berlin by the rising nationalist movement, motivated more by citizens than even Nazism. The Institute for Sexual Science was responsible for pushing every manner of niche sexuality, gender ideology, and pornography onto the public, including children. Their speciality was transgenderism and sex-change surgeries. Considering the background of the people responsible for this perversion, then and today, are we heading for another Berlin book burning as we go around the Möbius strip of history? Tonight, Ryan Gable fills in for Clyde Lewis and speaks about - Mobius Stripper.

3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object ever detected, will make its closest approach to Earth on Friday, offering astronomers a rare opportunity to study it from a distance of about 170 million miles. Since its discovery in July, most scientists have identified the object as a comet, while some researchers point to anomalies that could perhaps indicate it has an artificial origin. Conspiracy theories surrounding 3I/ATLAS have flooded the internet over the past few months, and we're about to find out if any of them are right. The timing of a report indicating that at least six world governments are conducting planetary defense drills coinciding with the object's journey through the solar system has fueled speculation that these exercises may be connected to the uncertainty with 3I/ATLAS. So what exactly is passing through our cosmic neighborhood... a natural comet, an artificial object, or something else entirely? Tonight, Jeremy Scott fills in for Clyde Lewis and is joined by Harvard University Professor of Science Avi Loeb, along with astronomer and photo/video analyst Marc D’Antonio, for a conversation about “All I's on ATLAS.”

So-called activist Jake Lang marched into Dearborn, Michigan, in November waving bacon at Qurans, lighting the same on fire, and trying to provoke Muslim residents with chants of “Christ is King” and calls on City Hall to remove all Muslims from the community, and in fact the country. Two major problems exist here: one, if this treatment of Islam were to override the First Amendment, how long do you think it will be before the same war comes for Christianity – has it not already? Two, are you so sure that the rhetoric of Lang even makes sense? A glance at the Quran will demonstrate that it actually teaches peace, not to commit suicide, forbids usury strongly, and the additional sayings of Muhammed call for followers to never kill women or children. Most of the accusations Lang makes against Islam are actually projections of accusations made against Jews. As the propaganda has failed to secure ongoing American support for Israel from all parties, it has turned to a Christian base that is willing to sell its birthright for a couple Bible verses. Hence, Jesus is the reason for the treason. Listen to Ground Zero tonight as Ryan Gable fills in for Clyde Lewis and speaks with guest, Chris Michaels about – Jesus Is The Reason For The Treason.
