  • EP 86: A History of Bioweapons: Rosen’s Rebels, WW1 & The Deadliest Sabotage Plots PT 4
    Oct 19 2025
    This is episode 86 of The Truth TankPart 4 of A History of Bioweapons picks up where Part 3 left off, with World War I raging across Europe. In this episode, we meet Otto von Rosen and his covert team — “Rosen’s Rebels” — as they brave the frozen tundras of Finland to infiltrate Russian military bases and infect reindeer with deadly anthrax-laced sugar cubes.We also explore the wider German sabotage network and examine other confirmed and alleged bioweapon operations during the Great War. Were these biological attacks effective, or a catastrophic waste of resources?Finally, we trace the fate of these early bioweapons programs in the post-war years and consider the moral and medical paradoxes they raise — questions that would echo through history and into the rise of the Nazi regime.Prepare for a chilling journey into the hidden history of biological warfare.Socials:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/thetruthtank/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/ThetruthTank/Listen:Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0P4Hcqlgc6kCG0bYyAS2SuApplehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-tank/id1463256905I Heart Radiohttps://iheart.com/podcast/76110779Castboxhttps://castbox.fm/channel/The-Truth-Tank-id5627421?country=usAmazonhttps://music.amazon.com/podcasts/791410e2-fa17-43e7-84db-6c81325f4203Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrhX1ZqvZx_xM59bk-tRa6QAudible https://www.audible.com.au/podcast/The-Truth-Tank/B08K6PRB1F?source_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdpSources:https://www.cdc.gov/anthrax/about/index.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_agenthttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1326439/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_von_Rosenhttps://www.olympedia.org/athletes/44296https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Finlandhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_warfarehttps://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/histperson/13925062x/https://www.emedicinehealth.com/biological_warfare/article_em.htmhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1198743X14626343https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German-sponsored_acts_of_terrorism_during_World_War_I

  • EP 85: American Martyr: The Assassination Of Charlie Kirk & The Crisis Of Western Civilisation Part 2
    Oct 5 2025
    This is episode 85 of The Truth Tank.In Part 2 of The Truth Tank’s explosive deep dive into the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we explore the wider cultural collapse gripping the Western world. From the rise of nihilistic mass shooters and the new face of extremism, to the virality of violence in the social media age — this episode examines how hate, ideology, and chaos have merged into something darker and more unpredictable.Host Tank takes a hard look at how Western civilization is fracturing — divided over race, gender, and politics, and increasingly defined by political violence. We connect the dots between America’s gun culture, the 2nd Amendment debate, and violent trends abroad such as Mexico’s bloody 2024 election season.Finally we look at Charlie Kirk's assassination, the conspiracies surrounding it, and the uncomfortable truth about free speech being silenced in an era of censorship and moral decline. Finally, we ask: how does an ordinary young man become a killer — and what does that say about the world we’ve built?Part 2 Focuses On:The rise of nihilistic and ideology-free mass shootersThe new face of extremism in Western societyPolitical violence in the U.S. and abroadMexico’s 2024 election bloodshedGun culture, the 2nd Amendment, and modern AmericaConspiracies and truth behind the Charlie Kirk assassinationFree speech, censorship, and Western declineA raw, unfiltered look at the crisis consuming Western civilization — and what comes next.Promos:Aussie Afterlife ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1cyPUrGBa346yPqq5bAXVp?si=f7269efe595c44a9⁠Socials:Instagram⁠https://www.instagram.com/thetruthtank/⁠Facebook⁠https://www.facebook.com/ThetruthTank/⁠Listen:Spotify⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0P4Hcqlgc6kCG0bYyAS2Su⁠Apple⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-tank/id1463256905⁠I Heart Radio⁠https://iheart.com/podcast/76110779⁠Castbox⁠https://castbox.fm/channel/The-Truth-Tank-id5627421?country=us⁠Amazon⁠https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/791410e2-fa17-43e7-84db-6c81325f4203⁠Youtube⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrhX1ZqvZx_xM59bk-tRa6Q⁠Audible ⁠https://www.audible.com.au/podcast/The-Truth-Tank/B08K6PRB1F?source_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdp⁠Sources: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/shooting-minneapolis-catholic-school-125032381https://www.npr.org/2025/08/29/nx-s1-5522038/minneapolis-shooting-motivehttps://www.reuters.com/world/americas/mexican-candidate-assassinations-hit-grim-record-ahead-sundays-election-2024-06-01/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/10/charlie-kirk-shooting-political-violencehttps://www.afr.com/world/north-america/charlie-kirk-death-us-political-violence-20250911-p5mu4nhttps://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/people-starting-to-act-out-how-the-charlie-kirk-shooting-suggests-a-vicious-spiral-in-the-us/a105398vahttps://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/amendments/amendment-iii/interpretations/123https://www.reuters.com/world/us/who-is-tyler-robinson-suspect-charlie-kirks-murder-2025-09-12/https://www.reuters.com/world/us/suspect-charlie-kirk-murder-custody-after-33-hour-manhunt-2025-09-12/

    • Why the Snyderverse and DCEU failed (and what actually worked)

    • The highs, lows, and missed opportunities from Man of Steel to The Flash

    • The Justice League and Snyder Cut debate: redemption or more chaos?

    • Why there was never a Man of Steel 2 or standalone Batfleck movie

    • DC vs Marvel: who told the better superhero story?


    Finally, is James Gunn’s Superman the fresh start DC fans need, or just another big budget superhero flick. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple, I Heart Radio or wherever you get your Podcasts from for a no-holds-barred discussion on the past, present, and future of Superman and the DC Universe.

  • EP 82: The Lie Of Communism: Chapter 2: Aftermath of the Bloody Sunday Massacre, Lenin’s War Against The Tsar, WW1 & The Great Proletariat Revolution.
    Aug 21 2025
    This is the second instalment of The Lie Of Communism.Chapter 2 picks up from where we left off in Chapter 1, The Aftermath of the Bloody Sunday Massacre. Russia was forever changed. The people’s faith and trust in The Tsar had been shattered. Meanwhile, Lenin and the Bolsheviks were gaining more and more support by the day, as The Tsar was doubling down on his control over the people. Revolution was in the air!However, internal tensions were brewing within the Bolshevik Party. Lenin went on the offensive, calling for mass terror and continent-wide conflict. Turning the failure of the 1905 Revolution into an advantage, he used it in his crusade against Tsar Nicholas. In the Wake of the BSM, the Tsar was forced to issue a series of reforms known as the October Manifesto. The Manifesto promised change to his people who were desperate for their Tsar to acknowledge their pleas for fairness and change.Russia was plunged back into chaos as the Tsar tightened his grip on power, refusing to accept the Manifesto controlling the parliament through the Duma. Lenin returned to St. Petersburg, seeing his opportunity to strike at the Tsar. He spread his message through another newspaper, Vperyod (forward), which brought new members and increased revenue to the Bolshevik Party. The party was growing rapidly, and more funding was needed despite Lenin’s views on capitalism.A young Joesph Stalin proved himself to the party, coming up with a plan to acquire more funding with Lenin’s blessing in a less than legal way. But Lenin’s decision to sanction crime divided the Bolsheviks and ultimately forced Lenin into exile once more. At the same time, the death of his mother sent him into a cycle of depression. Lenin’s world had collapsed and his future within the party and his dream of a proletariat revolution were in doubt. That was until his guardian angel, Inessa Armand, rescued him from despair, pulling him up from the dark abyss and back into the light. Armand was responsible for Lenin’s resurrection and the reshaping of the man that would one day lead the revolution. For decades, the Soviets covered up her role and importance in his story, but it was through her that Lenin 2.0 was born. From this point, he fundamentally changed his interruption of Marxism, redefining his philosophy. All the while, World War I was lurking in the background of the European Landscape.Socials:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/thetruthtank/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/ThetruthTank/Listen:Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0P4Hcqlgc6kCG0bYyAS2SuApplehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-tank/id1463256905I Heart Radiohttps://iheart.com/podcast/76110779Castboxhttps://castbox.fm/channel/The-Truth-Tank-id5627421?country=usAmazonhttps://music.amazon.com/podcasts/791410e2-fa17-43e7-84db-6c81325f4203Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrhX1ZqvZx_xM59bk-tRa6QAudible https://www.audible.com.au/podcast/The-Truth-Tank/B08K6PRB1F?source_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdpSources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Leninhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Sunday_(1905)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_IIhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Revolution_of_1905https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inessa_Armandhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Dumasa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Vladimir-Lenin&ved=2ahUKEwiuqb-5rMOOAxX1TGwGHbOdJGIQFnoECEMQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2U_TCtj0nxVTHwLqVo_LVZhttps://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/russian-revolution-1905https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/january-22/bloody-sunday-massacre-in-russia&ved=2ahUKEwjD8Pz-rcOOAxWHS2wGHUOwDioQFnoECD0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw1RonPLCD9PSa9Bolko-VYihttps://www.historytoday.com/archive/months-past/bloody-sunday-st-petersburgMusic Credit:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Гимн_Российской_Республики_и_РДФР_(Рабочая-Марсельеза).oga

  • EP 81: The Weekly Tank: Jurassic World Rebirth Review: Reboot, Revival or Repetition?
    Aug 7 2025

    This is episode 81 of The Truth Tank.

    Extra! Extra! It's time for another edition of The Weekly Tank, and with it, another film review. This weeks review is "Jurassic World Rebirth", the seventh film in the "Jurassic Park" franchise. Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp. Starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend and Ed Skrein.

    "Rebirth" takes place 5 years after the events of "Jurassic World Dominion", in a world where the public has lost interest in dinosaurs and due to changes in climate conditions have started to die off, except for some small pockets around the equator. The film follows a team led by Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) on a mission to extract DNA from three massive dinosaur species to develop a treatment for heart disease. Where are these Dinosaurs? Well, that's the catch, they're located on a mysterious island near Barbados that is off limits and controlled by the Government.

    Before looking at the new film, we will revisit the entire Jurassic franchise, ranking them from best to worst, exploring T-Rex VS Spinosaurus, looking at the problems with Jurassic Park III, weighing up the pros and cons of the Jurassic World Trilogy, appreciating the genius of Jurassic Park, unpacking the tropes and cliches within the franchise, questioning InGen's lack of security, discussing the damn infamous snickers wrapper and exposing Jurassic World Rebirth's biggest sins. Is the film a Rebirth, a Revival or a Repetition?
