Rethinking Reality

The Truth about the Anti-Nicotine Disinformation Campaign and the Billionaire Behind the Propaganda

Erika Heidewald

Why is a billionaire funding a global campaign to ban safer alternatives to tobacco products and convince the public to believe the lie that nicotine causes cancer?  This episode of Rethinking Reality exposes the anti-science disinformation campaign about nicotine that's taken over public health agencies in the past five years to become the culturally acceptable narrative. Let's talk about why billionaire octogenarian Michael Bloomberg is spending his fortune on banning tobacco alternative products, how Big Tobacco and Big Pharma benefit from anti-vaping propaganda, and the millions of lives that will be lost because of these lies.

My UFO Sighting Experience with My Dog in Joshua Tree

Erika Heidewald

It's finally time to tell the full story of the time my dog and I saw a UFO - three, actually - through the window of a yurt in Joshua Tree.  I hadn't believed in UFOs until I watched them hover nearby over an hour and the experience changed my life. If you've had a UFO sighting or alien encounter you want to tell me about or talk about on the podcast, send me an email at [email protected]! 
If you want to see the video I took, I have it posted on my Patreon: patreon.com/erikaheidewald
Subscribe and turn on notifications so you won't miss the next episode because I found other people who have seen the same UFOs I did and their stories are mind-blowing. I never thought this day would come but... I'm a true believer. Aliens are real and they like to hang out in Joshua Tree. Just ask my dog!
