From the Documentary, American Experience: The Poison Squad. In 1903, the Chief of the Agricultural Chemistry Division of Purdue University, Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley sought out 12 Healthy Young Men to test out the effect of adulterated food on human bodies.

After I published the episode on the “Radium Girls” I hit a gold mine in dark secrets surrounding the Progressive Era and Workplace corruption, cover-ups, and mistreatment.

Ep 33} parapsychology in politics- the abominations of the CIA
Hey Lotus listeners! In the American Revolutionary War, the National Security Act of 1947, established the CIA as an independent civilian intelligence agency, aiming to collect sensitive information about foreign countries and global insecurities to the National Security Council. This episode was really worthwhile yet challenging to research, outside of so many perplexing conspiracy theories amounted throughout the decades, reliable information about such a secretive organization is not accessible, especially one endorsed by the U.S. government. Despite, the strong morals the CIA was founded on, this organization was facing many complex issues such as counterintelligence, and counterterrorism as disciplines to serve America's security, which was first alerted to the prospect of the Communist use of mind control in 1949 during the trial of Hungarian Cardinal Mindszentry, a known opponent to the Communist regime. Leading to the deep seeded and complex corruption, abuse, and torture coming from this agency.

Ep 32} the SCP foundation and the internet horror unniverse
Hi again! In this short episode, I break down the several elements that make up the complicated but entertaining digital horror universe and how they each breed success. The SCP Foundation or the Secure, Contain and Protect Foundation is fictionally based in a horror universe responsible for capturing, containing, and studying various paranormal, supernatural, and other mysterious phenomena unexplained by science (known as "anomalies" or "SCPs"), while also keeping their existence hidden from the rest of human society for our sake of protection and peace. The SCP was created back in 2008 at the middle of the beginning of the technological age of storytelling, particularly the sharing of creepypastas and urban legends shared threw the internet to a mass audience, and has been the background of many creative spinoffs Thank you so much for listening and If you're not busy...

Ep 31- the curoption and obscure origins of the early silent film era
After the bizarre disappearance of France’s alleged first-ever inventor of the “Kintograph” moving motion camera, a new way of entertainment and culture was born. While the US was in the midst of new progressivism, many were eager to learn how this medium could make a market, and as today’s episode indulges, these “Stars” were prominent during the Silent Film Era from the late 1890s to the 1940s. Many of us don't consider how these girls were treated behind the scenes-How much were they paid? How old were they really? And How long were they expected to work? Today we’ll not only be talking about the obscure origins and corruption playing a role in the silent film era but also the racism, political agendas, exploitation, and criminal negligence with dangerous conditions that led to tragedies, humiliation, and suspicion that still plagues the industry to this day I’m a self-promoted writer!
