FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1332 The Anunnaki Stargate: Did Ancient Priesthoods Open Doorways Through Consciousness For thousands of years, the Sumerians told of powerful beings known as the Anunnaki—mysterious entities said to have shaped civilization, bestowed knowledge, and then vanished into myth. Most people today assume they were extraterrestrials. But what if the story was never about aliens at all? Historian Dr. Heather Lynn argues that the Anunnaki may have been non-human intelligences encountered through altered states of consciousness—accessed through ritual, trance, and sacred practices used by ancient priesthoods. In her new book Anunnaki Revelation, she explores a startling possibility: that ancient civilizations possessed a lost technology of consciousness—a kind of stargate of the mind—capable of opening contact with other realms. GUEST: Dr. Heather Lynn is a historian, researcher, and author who explores the hidden side of ancient history—where archaeology, mythology, and the occult intersect. She has appeared on the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens and written several books examining lost civilizations, forbidden knowledge, and the mysteries embedded in ancient texts. Her latest book, Anunnaki Revelation, challenges the extraterrestrial narrative and proposes a startling new interpretation: that the “gods” of antiquity may have been non-human intelligences encountered through altered states of consciousness.

Who dug it—and what were they searching for beneath one of North America’s most myth-soaked mountains? Richard Syrett speaks with filmmaker Elijah Sullivan about his haunting documentary The Hole Story, a journey from physical mystery to high strangeness, where UFO lore, hidden civilizations, and obsession collide deep inside Shasta’s shadow. GUEST: Elijah Sullivan is a filmmaker, writer, and director whose work explores the intersection of folklore, mystery, and the psychology of belief. Raised near Mount Shasta, he brings a deeply personal lens to The Hole Story, a documentary investigating a strange hand-dug cavern on the mountain’s slopes. Sullivan’s storytelling blends investigative curiosity with atmospheric filmmaking, probing how real places become epicenters of myth, obsession, and unexplained phenomena.

Brown says it began with an unexpected outreach from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau that drew him into the orbit of Canada’s most powerful political household. What followed, he claims, was a bewildering chain of events involving personal communications, psychological pressure, digital suppression, and years of surveillance. Tonight, Brown returns to go deeper—reopening a story that raises unsettling questions about power, influence networks, and the unseen machinery operating behind modern politics. . GUEST: Jeff Brown is a former criminal lawyer, and best-selling author whose work explores psychology, spirituality, and the hidden dynamics of power. His latest book, In Trudeau’s Kitchen: My Unexpected Journey with Politics, Power and the Global Elite, recounts his controversial and deeply personal experience after being drawn into the orbit of Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. Brown argues that his story reveals a rarely seen architecture of influence operating behind modern political life—where technology, private actors, and reputation management quietly shape outcomes far from public view.

After a night of unsettling clarity, Richard Syrett recounts a dream so vivid it refuses to fade. Was it simply the mind sorting chaos… or something more ominous? Joined by cognitive scientist Dr. Andrew Paquette, Richard explores whether dreams can carry warnings, messages—or glimpses of events not yet unfolded. GUEST: Dr. Andrew Paquette is a cognitive scientist with a PhD from King’s College London whose research explores the frontier where consciousness, dreams, and psi phenomena intersect. His work investigates precognitive dreams, veridical out-of-body experiences, and death-related dream encounters. Paquette is the author of Dreamer: 20 Years of Psychic Dreams and How They Changed My Life, a deeply personal and scientific exploration of how dreams may function as gateways to information beyond ordinary waking awareness.

Just as pressure builds with looming depositions, subpoenas, and Congressman Thomas Massie naming powerful figures tied to Jeffrey Epstein, global crises suddenly dominate the headlines. Coincidence… or choreography? Investigative journalist Nick Bryant has spent nearly two decades exposing the hidden architecture behind Epstein’s empire — the money, the protection, and the silence. Tonight, he returns to Strange Planet to ask the question no one in power wants answered. GUEST: Nick Bryant is an investigative journalist and author best known for exposing elite sexual abuse networks and the power structures that protect them.

It coordinates. Behind governments, corporations, and global summits, whispers persist of inner circles where allegiance outweighs ideology and influence moves through symbols, silence, and leverage. Have secret societies vanished—or simply rebranded for the digital age? With researcher Kristan T. Harris, we follow the symbols, the scandals, and the shadow networks to ask a question that refuses to die: Who really holds the keys to power? GUEST: Kristan T. Harris is an investigative journalist, broadcaster, and founder of American Intelligence Media. He is the host of the independent news and talk radio program, THERUNDOWNLIVE. A longtime researcher of elite networks, esoteric symbolism, and institutional secrecy, Harris studied under renowned symbolism expert Jordan Maxwell. For years, he has examined how influence travels through private alliances, ritual imagery, intelligence intersections, and financial power structures—asking whether modern authority operates less through elections and more through access, leverage, and quiet coordination.

A president orders UFO files released. The Pentagon confirms a review is underway. The State of the Union comes and goes in total silence. No announcement. No documents. No timeline. So what’s really happening? In this pivotal Strange Planet conversation, Richard Syrett speaks with longtime Disclosure strategist Stephen Bassett about the February 2026 presidential directive, the mechanics of declassification, and the political calculus behind “managed disclosure.” Is this the first crack in a seventy-year truth embargo — or a carefully controlled narrative rollout? If Disclosure is coming, it may not arrive with spectacle… but with silence. GUEST: Stephen Bassett is a political activist and founder of the Paradigm Research Group, widely recognized as one of the leading advocates for formal government acknowledgment of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race. For nearly three decades, he has lobbied Congress, organized Disclosure-focused press conferences at the National Press Club, and worked to end what he calls the government’s “truth embargo” on the UFO/UAP issue. Bassett focuses on policy, political pressure, and public record — arguing that Disclosure is not a question of belief, but of timing and governance.

Buried. Sealed. Denied. Veteran crash-retrieval investigator Ryan S. Wood joins Richard Syrett to trace decades of leaked documents, witness testimony, and multinational recovery operations pointing to objects not made by human hands. Is this revelation genuine disclosure, strategic psy-op, or the first crack in a planetary cover-up? If something too large to transport crashed, where did they hide it today. GUEST: Ryan S. Wood is one of the world’s leading investigators of UFO crash-retrieval evidence and classified disclosure-era documents. A systems engineer and longtime aerospace researcher, he has spent decades assembling and analyzing thousands of pages of leaked memoranda, witness testimony, and technical reports pointing to a covert, multinational effort to recover and study non-human technology. Through projects like MajesticDocuments.com and UFOdex, Wood has become a central archivist of the hidden history behind alleged retrieval programs—and a relentless seeker of what governments may know, and conceal.

Once dismissed as scandal, the Epstein connection has now crossed into criminal inquiry — raising a chilling question: is this justice, or a calculated sacrifice? On this explosive episode of Strange Planet, Richard Syrett is joined by former Monaco spymaster Robert Eringer, a man who has operated inside royal and intelligence power circles. Together, they examine what Andrew knew, what he shared, and why this arrest is happening now. When elite institutions feel threatened, who is protected… and who becomes expendable? GUEST: Robert Eringer is a former intelligence adviser and spymaster to Prince Albert II of Monaco who built and ran the principality’s modern intelligence service. A one-time foreign correspondent for The Toronto Star and an investigative reporter who infiltrated extremist groups, he later conducted undercover operations for FBI Counterintelligence.

A dynasty built on blood is preparing its next heir. In a move that stunned intelligence analysts, Kim Jong-un has publicly revealed his 13-year-old daughter, Kim Ju Ae, as a potential successor—positioning a child to one day command nuclear weapons in the world’s most secretive regime. Is North Korea becoming the first true hereditary communist monarchy? What happens when absolute power becomes a family heirloom? In this gripping episode, we explore the geopolitical shockwaves of a fourth-generation Kim ruler—and the terrifying possibility that the fate of millions could rest in the hands of a teenager groomed for total control. GUEST: Jared Knott is a decorated U.S. combat infantry officer who served in Vietnam with the First Air Cavalry Division, a seasoned historian of global conflict, and the international bestselling author of the Tiny Blunders/Big Disasters series. His work exposes how seemingly minor miscalculations—missed signals, wounded egos, small human errors—have triggered some of history’s greatest catastrophes. Blending battlefield experience with deep historical analysis, Knott brings rare insight into how fragile power structures can unravel. When dynasties, nuclear weapons, and succession collide, he understands better than most how quickly history can turn—and how devastating the consequences can be.
