Send us a textOn May 2nd, 2022, the sociopolitical landscape was struck by a 9.5 earthquake when the initial draft majority opinion from the U.S Supreme Court leaked. Revealing that the 1973 ruling of Roe v. Wade would be overturned resulting in many on the political left to panic as this meant an attack on women's reproductive rights, while on the political right, cheers and celebrations commenced since it symbolized a victory for the sanctity of life.  However, is life as sacred as the political right state, or are there contradictions to these values? In today's episode, listen to how the conversation about abortion has been revitalized in the last few weeks since this breaking news, learn about the historical and legal context of Roe v. Wade, the conspiracist reaction to the "my body my choice" movement, and the philosophical argument if life is objectively or subjectively valuable?

Send us a textOn July 1st, 2022, the controversial Parental Rights in Education bill, or as the political left dubs it, the Don't Say Gay law, will go into effect, while progressives and human rights advocates say that this endangers LGBTQ+ youth and promotes discrimination. The conspiracists view this law as a pushback against "The Gay Agenda."  A conspiracy theory that goes back to the late 1970s when Anita Bryant launched her anti-homosexual campaign in the name of Christian morality and the protection of children. In today's episode, Nelson revisits the foundations of the Gay Agenda movement and how it has influenced the anti-gay rhetoric that currently threatens the LGBTQ+ community in Florida. As well as address the pedophilia scare that has been successfully weaponized by conspiracy theorists in creating fear and hostility within the political left and the queer community.

Send us a textThroughout the Ketanji Brown Jackson's (KBJ) Supreme Court hearing, several accusations were flared at KBJ to discredit her ability to hold one of the highest seats in the U.S government. However, one claim has sparked controversy about her moral dilemma regarding sex offenders. Did Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) reveal a sinister history of KBJ? Is the new supreme court judge an agent of the deep state working to help pedophiles earn easier access to the most vulnerable members of our society? In today's episode, we look at the case of United States v. Hawkins (1:13-cr-00244) and determine if there is more than meets the eye because, in the world of a conspiracist, nothing is as it seems.

Send us a textOn March 27th, 2022, the 94th Oscar’s was hosted by Chris Rock. In a segment that will be remembered in the years to come. Rock directed a joke towards Jada Smith, which initially was received well by her husband Will Smith, but was quickly interpreted as disrespectful. As a result, Will Smith got on stage and slapped Chris Rock. And while the news of this event is trending in pop culture. Conspiracy theorists have wasted little time figuring out the legitimacy of the altercation and its true intentions. The moment was staged to distract us from Joe Biden’s low approval rating, vaccine deaths, and the Nazification of Ukraine. Whatever the conspiracy theory, nothing is as it seems, and everything is a false flag operation. In today's episode, I discuss my opinion of the event and assess the various conspiracy theories, some of which involve the death and cloning of Will Smith. Facebook The Social Chemist | FacebookInstagramThe Social Chemist (@socialchemistig) • Instagram photos and videosReferences Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars - YouTubeWill Smith Slapped Chris Rock and QAnon Is Starting Conspiracies About It (vice.com)QAnon Conspiracy Theorists Think Oscar Slap Hoax Because 'Will Smith Actually Dead' (unilad.co.uk)P Diddy claims Will Smith and Chris Rock made amends after Oscars: ‘That’s over’ | The IndependentTiffany Haddish Calls Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock 'Beautiful Thing' - VarietyRosie O’Donnell Compares Will Smith To Trump | NewsOne

Send us a textSince the invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, around the world, people and establishments have condemned the brutal acts of Russia's President Vladimir Putin.

Send us a textIn early February 2022, the Russian Federation deployed around 190,000 troops near the eastern borders of Ukraine. As a result, this alarmed Ukrainian officials and many world leaders around the globe that stated that an invasion of Ukraine would go against International Law. However, President Vladimir Putin justifies the "military operation" of Ukraine by saying that the objective is to integrate the independent region Donetsks and Luhansk into Russia. A statement that has received condemnation from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In today's episode, we discuss the historical implications that have led to the current Ukraine-Russia conflict, Biden's response to the Russian invasion, and the misinformation campaign that has attempted to mitigate the severity of the Ukrainian takeover.

Send us a textOn an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, Dr. Peter McCullough a cardiologist in training and conspiracy theory producer came on to the show to share his thoughts on the current state of the pandemic and errors that scientists and the medical establishment have committed to suppressing the efficacy of Ivermectin. Throughout the interview, Dr. Peter McCullough makes several accusations that attempt to discredit the safety of vaccines and the understanding of COVID-19. In today's episode, we address many of the claims made and assess the engagement style from a psychological perspective. Is the CDC suppressing information? Is Bill Gates funding operation depopulation? and have hospitals left patients to die? Join me as we explore the conspiratorial mindset.

Send us a textOn November 8th, Allyn Walker an assistant professor at Old Dominion University gave an interview on why minor-attracted people (MAPs) should be destigmatized. As a result, this created immense controversy among the political right and advocates against sexual child abuse. Was this the beginning of the demoralization of the United States? Have the conspiracy theories of the LGBTQ+ pushing a pedophilic agenda come to fruition.  In this episode, Nelson discusses the controversy behind MAPs and assesses the reactions from right-wing conservatives.

Send us a textOn November 5th, 2021, thousands of fans attended Travis Scott's festival Astroworld. In the process, nine people lost their lives, and hundreds were left injured when a crowed surge emerged. Criminal investigators have determined that it will take weeks or even months to discover what went wrong. Some are pointing the blame at Travis Scott, Live Nation, and the concert organizers, but conspiracy theorists are claiming that those responsible are not people at all but supernatural forces that demand the sacrifice of human blood. Did the Devil leave subliminal messages for us to discover, or is our brain playing tricks on us?
