Dr Rebecca Culshaw is a mathematician who questioned the official science to support the HIV virus and AIDS narrative. Earlier, Rebecca taught at the University of Texas at Tyler as an assistant professor. She received her doctorate in mathematics from Dalhousie University in Canada, her dissertation focusing on immune response to HIV infection and AIDS treatments. She has written for several peer-review journals about mathematical modeling of HIV-related immunology and served on the editorial board of the Journal of Biological Systems. Dr Culshaw is the author of a new book -- "The Real AIDS Epidemic: How the Tragic HIV Mistake Threatens Us All" -- which presents many of the conundrums, mistakes and corruption in the so-called War Against AIDS. Listeners will likely discover strong parallels between flawed science behind AIDS and the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Dr. John Martin is a virologist and medical researcher who has greatly contributed to the study of viral infections and their role in chronic diseases. He is the medical director of the Institute for Progressive Medicine at the non-profit charity MI Hope that supports those with mental illness. During his tenure at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Dr. Martin significantly increased our understanding of viruses such as HIV, hepatitis, and herpesviruses. He later worked as Chief of the FDA's Virus Oncology Laboratory evaluating vaccine safety, especially vaccine contamination with adventitious agents, which led to his interest in stealth-adapted viruses -- viruses that are not recognized by our immune system. This research led to his theory that such stealth pathogens, such as simian cytomegalovirus contamination in the polio vaccines, could contribute to a wide range of chronic illnesses including neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism and chronic fatigue. Following his work in government health agencies, John was a professor of pathology at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. His current research is focused on Kinetic Energy Limiting Electrostatic Attraction or KELEA, which can aid immune function, suppress stealth viruses, enhance water for crops and for purifying ecological environments. He holds an MD and a separate PhD from the University of Sydney and University of Melbourne respectively.

Neville Hodgkinson is a British journalist who reported about AIDS conventionally in the mid-1980s as a medical correspondent for the London Sunday Times. In a subsequent role as the Times' science correspondent, he wrote a series of articles questioning the HIV theory after hearing about the work of Prof. Peter Duesberg, Joan Shenton and others. In 1996, Neville published his book "AIDS: The Failure of Contemporary Science -- How a Virus that Never Has Deceived the World." The book has recently been republished under the title "How HIV\/AIDS Set the Stage for the Covid Crisis." The book includes recent data from the Australian Perth group of scientists who have argued that HIV has never been proven to exist as a unique infectious entity. Rather this research group claims it is a misinterpretation of signals from a compromised immune system. Due to his journalism, Neville was an early victim of cancel culture from early AIDS activists such as Larry Kramer who was aligned with Anthony Fauci. A seven-part series by Neville be found on the Conservative Woman website at www.conservativewoman.co.uk/author/nevillehodgkinson/ Neville Hodgkinson, Author at The Conservative Woman Neville Hodgkinson is the former Sunday Times medical and science correspondent who created an international storm by reporting a scientific challenge to the ‘HIV’ theory of Aids. www.conservativewoman.co.uk

Dr. Naomi Wolf is the CEO of the Daily Clout, a nonprofit that enables people to see, share and affect legislative bills which otherwise would be largely non-transparent and get passed behind closed doors.

Jeremy Kuzmarov is Managing Editor of Covert Action Magazine, a 40-plus year old publication that hosts a number of extraordinary writers and journalists covering current events. He is the author of four books on U.S. foreign policy, including Obama’s Unending Wars (Clarity Press, 2019) and The Russians Are Coming, Again, with John Marciano. Jeremy recently researched an article, published in the journal Class, Race and Corporate Power -- entitled "The Liberal Savior as Conservative: JFK's Foreign Policy" -- that investigates the legacy of President John F Kennedy showing that the president was not the peace advocate as he is so frequently portrayed. As a consequence, JFK's legacy as the stalwart hero of global peace and being a non-interventionist is perhaps very flawed. The Magazine's website is CovertActionMagazine.com.
