Science Is Dangerous

Listen to this episode
Put on your tinfoil hat, because this week The Dingo Weekly is pulling threads on a cluster of dead and missing scientists—all working on suspiciously related projects involving asteroid deflection, fusion energy, and advanced aerospace tech. From Los Alamos to NASA, from alleged suicides to vanishing researchers, Robbbie, Tad Nasty, and Dingo Jackson connect the dots to a planet-killing asteroid headed our way in April 2029, and they're not buying NASA's "we're fine" story.

The Dead Scientists Conspiracy

The hosts catalog a disturbing pattern: Amy Eskridge (antigravity research, Los Alamos), Michael David Hicks (NASA asteroid deflection), Frank Mywald (JPL), multiple disappearances including Monica Reza and Melissa Casillas (whose phone was mysteriously wiped), and Nudno Lurero from MIT who was shot while on the verge of a fusion energy breakthrough. These aren't random deaths—they're concentrated in specific fields (asteroid tracking, deflection, and alternative energy) across a handful of organizations since 2022.

Asteroid Apophis: April 13, 2029

The asteroid Apophis will pass closer to Earth than geosynchronous satellites on April 13, 2029—a Friday the 13th, which the hosts note is either cosmic coincidence or proof of conspiracy. At 340 meters across, it could cause "catastrophic regional damage" but NASA insists there's no impact risk for at least 100 years. The hosts debate whether the moon mission tests are actually weapons development and whether the government is silencing scientists to avoid mass panic.

Energy, Oil, and Follow the Money

Robbbie's leading theory: big oil is eliminating fusion and zero-point energy researchers to protect the petroleum industry's stranglehold on global economics. The discussion explores how energy innovation threatens geopolitical power structures, with mentions of Venezuela, Iran, and why renewable energy represents an existential threat to petrostates. They debate whether Elon Musk could be involved, ultimately concluding that while he'd just buy the companies, the orchestrated nature of these deaths points to state-level actors.

The Deep State, Illuminati, and Who's Really in Charge

The hosts wrestle with whether a shadowy "deep state" of billionaires and trillionaires (possibly the Rothschilds and Putin) actually controls world governments through blackmail and financial influence. They debate whether this is just lobbying with extra steps, whether Obama was untouchable due to his popularity, and whether every administration is compromised. The conversation reveals skepticism about official narratives while acknowledging the difficulty of proving coordinated global conspiracy.

What Is Actually American?

In a tangential but surprisingly substantive debate, the hosts attempt to define what's uniquely American, discovering that almost nothing is: baseball is cricket-adjacent, hot dogs and apple pie are German, and even pizza is better in New York than Italy (according to Robbbie). They land on a short list: clam chowder, pumpkin pie, corn chowder, Philly cheesesteaks, grits, and the internet—concluding that America's real genius is taking other cultures' inventions and making its own (arguably superior) twist on them.

I mean, they're not going to tell us now. It'd be chaos for the next three years. Yeah, but maybe that's the real reason why we're going to the moon. Maybe they dropped a weapon out there. We're making our own Death Star to counteract the other Death Star. — Tad Nasty and Dingo Jackson
