Attorney Scott Tips is the President and General Counsel for the world's oldest health freedom organization – the National Health Federation, and for 40 years, he has been specializing in food and drug law. In the first half, he shared updates on Codex Alimentarius – an international body where standards and guidelines are set for what we eat and drink, as well as the problems of soil depletion, and how we are being drenched in pesticides. Tips reported that just two meat processing companies now control 85% of the business and have squeezed out small and medium-sized producers. This is a trend being seen throughout the food industry, as well in the vitamin supplement business, where corporations have increasingly bought out smaller companies, he lamented.
The consolidation of the supplement industry has led to a decrease in quality and potency, according to Tips, and profits have been prioritized over the original mission of the acquired companies to improve people's health. Regarding Codex Alimentarius, he suggested that their standards for food safety and agriculture are influenced by big agriculture and pharmaceutical companies, leading to harmful products being shipped globally despite regional concerns. At their meetings, he argued against the use of veterinary drugs like Zilpaterol, which increase the weight and musculature of cattle but are not healthy for the animals. Tips also revealed how Monsanto/Bayer (the makers of the herbicide Roundup) are writing & backing bills in state legislatures to stop people from suing them over harmful health effects from their products.

In the latter half, author and ufologist Dr. Lynne Kitei joined us on the 27th anniversary of the Phoenix Lights, which is deemed to be the most witnessed and important mass sighting in modern history. On the night of March 13, 1997, a variety of craft were seen over a 12-hour period in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and California, including a large triangular shape said to be a mile-wide or even longer by a considerable number of witnesses. In fact, according to some data, one of the craft was estimated to be eight miles wide, she marveled. The total number of witnesses is thought to include thousands of people, she said, including police officers, and celebrities like Alice Cooper, and Kurt Russell (who was piloting a private plane that night). "These massive craft or these formations of light...seemed to be attached to something [and as] people would look up...it would block out the stars," she detailed, adding that the phenomenon was totally silent.
On her website, Kitei presents animations depicting the "parade of different craft and multiple orb formations attached to and separate from these craft." She also offers a survey for people to share their personal experience of the Phoenix Lights and related sightings. The survey results have so far shown that most of the Phoenix Light witnesses reported profound positive effects after the sighting-- what Kitei referred to as a kind of enlightenment or awakening. Intriguingly, many of the experiencers reported "encounters with some type of non-human intelligent being...both physical and non-physical, such as orbs and ghostly figures, and they communicate with telepathy."
