And now. . . the time has come. . . where we must face. . . our final curtain. . . Well, Wes’ final curtain anyway. Yes dear listeners, after almost a year and just over 30 episodes, Wes is leaving The Black Fridays! But, never fear, the show will go on! At the end of this episode, we’ll reveal the new co-host of TBF. I think you’ll be pleased.
When I asked Wes who he’d like to have on his final show, only one name came to his mind. . . the famous (or is that infamous) Jeff Ritzmann. Jeff graciously accepted and we had a great time talking with him about what he’s been up to since Paratopia, what his future plans are, and about, what else, ufology.
Well, we’ve got a bit of bittersweet news for everyone. Wes is leaving the show. He’s gotten the opportunity to take a job out of country and because of some internet usage laws, he won’t be able to be a part of The Black Fridays anymore. I’m sad about this, but I’m extremely happy for my friend and co-host. I know he’s going to enjoy his time abroad and be able to do some of the things he’s had to put off for a while.
But, as they say, the show must go on, and go on it will. Wes and I have already recorded his last show as we interviewed Jeff Ritzmann. Jeff’s interview will be posted this Sunday, August 29 and at the end of it, we will be introducing the new co-host of The Black Fridays. YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS THIS! I think everyone will be pretty pleased as we take the show in a different direction and a new format.
So be sure to tune in Sunday evening and in the meantime, send Wes some love and well wishes.
Dr. Nick Begich joins us to talk HAARP, Mind Control Technology, The BP Oil Spill and much, muich more. This is the interview we have been waiting for, for some time. Many thanks to Dr. Begich for his time. He was gracious and we appreciate it! We hope you enjoy the talk.
Jeremy Vaeni joins Stacy from TBF to discuss religion, conciousness, and self. In part 2 of Stacy’s series looking at religions and faiths of all types, he explores Jeremy’s experiences and how they have helped formed his world view.
Due to both Stacy and I working too much this week and weekend, there will be no show this weekend. But we will be back next week with a great show! Thanks and see you then!

It was a pleasure talking with these gentleman, and we look forward to carrying on the conversation in the future!
“Peggy” joins us to talk about her meeting with Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963. A chance meeting shortly before History was changed. We find this interesting that he was looking for work, as well as, he was listing his aunt’s telephone number on job applications even though she hadn’t seen him in weeks. More to come later.
Author Rand Flem-Ath joins us to discuss the Atlantis, Earth Crust Displacement, and what the ancients new! Rand, along with his wife Rose, have authored several books including; “The Atlantis Blueprint,” “The Forbidden Manuscript,” and “Field of Thunder.” A fascinating topic with a great guest.

Rep. Paul Kanjorski speaks on C-SPAN about the mysterious, and not talked about run on the banks that happened on September 11, 2008. It makes me wonder if we will ever know what really
happened? Interesting stuff starts about 2 minutes and 17 seconds into the video.
The Black Fridays welcomes Jason Offutt. Jason is a syndicated columnist, author, college journalism instructor, and a “fan of all things strange”. We talk with Jason about ghosts, Shadow People, and even a guy who invented a time travel machine.

Well, what can we say? Dr. Robert Schoch!!!! How humbling it has been to have the guests we’ve had so far! But, this goes beyond our expectations. We talk with Dr. Schoch about his findings in Bosnia and Japan and of course his discoveries that turned the scientific world on it’s head.
Dr. Robert M. Schoch, a full-time faculty member at the College of General Studies at Boston University since 1984, earned his Ph.D. (1983) in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University.

Today we’ve got a very special guest. Mr. John Ratcliff. John is an engineer and a Freemason and a newer listener to The Black Fridays. John first heard about us on Paratopia’s podcast with Wes and Tim Bannall. After which, John had some particular comments about us on Paratopia’s forum. We invited John to come on the show and talk about those posts, plus Freemasons, and UFO’s. We think we’ve found a new friend. Wes and Stacy both really liked talking with John and think you’ll like his ideas as well.
Wes and Stacy also have a lengthy discussion on the Emma Woods tapes and Dr. David Jacobs. To get a more thorough treatment of this issue, go to the episode 57 podcast at www.paratopia.net.
We are VERY excited about having Dr. Michael Heiser on the show tonight! Mike Heiser earned the M.A. and Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible and Semitic Languages at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004. Before attending the UW-Madison, Mike earned an M.A. in Ancient History from the University of Pennsylvania (major fields: Ancient Israel and Egyptology). Mike’s main research interests are Israelite religion (especially Israel’s divine council), biblical theology, ancient Near Eastern religion, biblical languages, ancient Semitic languages, the history of the biblical texts, and ancient Jewish binitarian monotheism. His dissertation was entitled, “The Divine Council in Late Canonical and Non-Canonical Second Temple Jewish Literature.” The dissertation sought to discern the ancient Israelite background to Judaism’s “Two Powers in Heaven” godhead teaching.
Mike’s other academic interests include the paranormal and the occult. He is particularly interested in how both shape worldviews and how people marry biblical and ancient Near Eastern material to these areas.
We talk with Dr. Heiser about his work on The Divine Council and UFO’s. Is there a pantheon of gods in the Old Testament? Listen and find out.
I was saddened to learn of Jerry’s passing. He was a scheduled guest on the show and he and I had done a pre-chat to get things lined up. I have followed his work for some time, and he will be missed.
Tim Wallace Murphy spoke with Bloodline Director Bruce Burgess at length in this outtake. Its a shame that the Director saw fit to not use this information in the film! It probably would have been a better trail to follow than the one he did.
The Black Fridays welcome back Brian Burnett. One of our listener’s submitted a question asking if there are any secret archives of the Orthodox Church. We thought it was an interesting idea and wanted to have Brian back on the show to give his answer.
CHRISTOPHER KNOWLES is on the show!!!! We had an awesome time speaking with Chris on this episode. We talk about his Eagle Award winning book, Our Gods Wear Spandex: The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes, about the symbolism in Torchwood: Children of Earth, and about how ancient symbols permeate our modern day culture. Chris also gave us an inside look into his newest project , The Secret History of Rock ‘n Roll.
We now have an onsite book store. We’ll be adding the books of our guests both past and present so be sure to check back daily for updated libraries. At times, we can’t put all of their books on here due to the volume of their works, but we’ve got what we feel like are their best ones.
UNBELIEVABLE! That’s all we can say about having Jim Marrs on this episode of The Black Fridays Podcast! Our time was too short, but Jim graciously spoke with us about his book Crossfire, socialism in America, white gold, and his new fiction book “The Sisterhood of the Rose.”

The Black Fridays is happy to have Richard Dolan on the show. Rich is one of the foremost experts in ufology and as published what could be the definitive work on the subject from an historical perspective. UFOs and the National Security State: An Unclassified History, 1941-1973 (a 2 edition work) and The Cover-Up Exposed, 1973-1991 deal with how UFOs and their cover up by the government has affected policy.

Derek co-hosts PID Radio with his wife Sharon and hosts A View From The Bunker. We had an amazing time speaking with Derek about his ministry in PID and AVFTB and about the wide range of subjects he speaks about on his shows. From dominionism to the state of the Church in America, Derek’s insights and concern for people gaining a knowledge of the current (but not widely known) issues that face our country and the world is refreshing. Enjoy!
