In Skeptiko episode 650… the landscape of alternative media may have just shifted as a new regime promises freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and an open season on truth. No one is in a better position to understand this transition than Al Borealis, creator of Forum Borealis, a “paradigm expanding variety podcast” that since 2015 has conducted deep-dive interviews exploring everything from consciousness and esoteric philosophy to geopolitics and breakaway civilizations. This end-of-year conversation between Al and veteran podcaster Alex Tsakiris (Skeptiko) offers a Roundup of 2024 and a realistic look at what may lie ahead.

1. Are we already seeing less censorship?

Alex notes:

“Anyone who doesn’t see that tide changing is just not paying attention… the content that you can get, all the issues that you and I have wanted to talk about are there in one form or another, and they’re getting hundreds of thousands or millions of views.”

2. The Role of AI in Truth-Seeking

Both hosts bring their extensive experience in investigative podcasting to bear on AI’s potential. Alex, with his characteristic directness:

“AI is the debate… I want AI to play that role and just calmly dispassionately say, ‘no, that’s bullshit.’

Al, drawing on his background exploring consciousness and esoteric philosophy, offers a more nuanced take:

“AI can take it apart and reassemble it again into a new thing… but it can never become sentient because from the outset, it has certain boundaries it cannot cross.”

3. Deep State

The conversation exemplifies Forum Borealis’s commitment to exploring hidden aspects of world events.

“It’s like discovering a secret door in the back of your bank vault… You may not be able to prove they ever stole any money… but that’s missing the point.”

4. UFO Disclosure and Geopolitics

Drawing on his years covering breakaway civilizations and advanced technology, Al offers a penetrating analysis of recent UFO developments:

“If they want this on the agenda, it means it’s not a truth agenda… There’s some other reason why they want this topic cleaned up. Let’s start reporting on it more seriously, let’s start having politicians and hearings on this.”

This dialogue between two veterans of alternative media illuminates how far the movement has come while highlighting new challenges ahead. The vindication of previously “fringe” topics serves as both validation and warning – validation of the careful research done by independent media over the years, and warning that mainstream narratives should always be approached with careful skepticism.
