Targeted Individual Testimony: Medical Kidnapping, CIA Documents & V2K Voice-to-Skull Technology | Ben Conine

In this intense and unsettling interview, Ben Conine shares his experience as a Targeted Individual, detailing repeated incidents of what he describes as medical kidnapping, forced hospitalization, and unexplained procedures that altered his life permanently.
Ben has spent years researching declassified CIA documents, military research papers, and material connected to other three-letter agencies, attempting to understand the technology he believes is being used against him. His investigation points toward covert medical implant technologies that may explain V2K (Voice-to-Skull) phenomena — the experience of hearing externally generated voices without any visible source.
Throughout this conversation, Ben explains how these experiences have tormented his mental, emotional, and physical well-being, pushing him to the edge while simultaneously driving him deeper into research. He is not seeking attention — he is seeking answers, racing against time as the pressure threatens to dismantle his life.
This episode explores:
Claims of medical kidnapping and non-consensual procedures
Alleged implant technology and neurological interference
V2K / Voice-to-Skull research and historical documentation
The psychological toll of being a Targeted Individual
The blurred line between classified research, ethics, and human rights
Whether these experiences represent covert experimentation, emerging technology, or something yet to be fully understood, Ben’s story raises serious questions about government transparency, medical ethics, and the unseen consequences of classified research.
This is not entertainment. This is testimony.

Bennington Triangle Mysteries: Missing People, Secret Cryogenic Labs & the Sleeping Nephilim | Nick from Almost Canon Podcast In this deep-dive conversation, I’m joined by Nick from the Almost Canon Podcast to unravel the chilling mysteries surrounding the Bennington Triangle—an area infamous for unexplained disappearances, strange phenomena, and stories that refuse to stay buried.

Nick walks us through the documented missing persons cases, bizarre patterns, and unsettling similarities that suggest something far more calculated than random tragedy. But the conversation takes a sharp turn into darker territory when we explore claims of a secret laboratory hidden within the mountains, where cryogenic experiments were allegedly conducted far from public oversight.

We examine the shadowy background of the lead scientist who owned the mountain, a figure reportedly connected to the Oak Ridge laboratories, an institution long associated with classified research and unanswered questions. From there, the theories escalate—could these experiments be tied to legends of a sleeping Nephilim or “Sleeping Giant” concealed within the mountain itself?

I float a provocative idea: Is there a link between cryogenic technology and ancient accounts of giants placed into suspended states? Was modern science attempting to preserve—or awaken—something far older than humanity is ready to confront?

This episode blends true crime, forbidden science, ancient mythology, and high strangeness, challenging the official narratives while connecting dots most people are told not to see.

If you’re fascinated by the Bennington Triangle, Nephilim lore, secret government experiments, Oak Ridge mysteries, missing persons cases, or underground laboratories, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

In this episode, I’m joined by Ashes Antics, a longtime researcher, experiencer, and familiar voice within the cryptid and paranormal podcast community. Our conversation moves through firsthand encounters, spiritual warfare, and the thin places where the physical and unseen seem to collide.

Ashes shares chilling experiences that began in childhood in LeFlore County, Oklahoma, including a nighttime encounter where something physically jumped on his back, followed by the sight of a small creature fleeing into the darkness. Years later, another incident unfolded when a powerful roar echoed from the woods near his home — an experience that left no doubt that something was there.
We also discuss a period when Ashes lived in a house plagued by intense demonic activity, exploring how these events affected him and how he interprets them now. Throughout the conversation, we touch on themes of discernment, fear, faith, and the lasting impact of repeated encounters with the unknown.
The discussion expands into Enochian magic, belief systems, and how spiritual frameworks influence paranormal experiences. Ashes also speaks about his background as an English Romani gypsy, sharing family history that includes fortune telling, faith, and a generational shift after his grandmother later became a Christian. Her long life and stories form a quiet thread running through the episode, tying ancestry, belief, and experience together.
Ashes has appeared on several well-known shows in the community, including Boone County Cryptids, The Night’s Watch, and The Cryptid Podcast, and brings a perspective shaped by both personal experience and years of involvement in the field.
This episode isn’t about chasing fear or exaggeration — it’s about listening carefully to lived experiences and asking what they might tell us about the nature of reality, spirituality, and the unseen world that presses closer than we’re often comfortable admitting.

What if the Mandela Effect isn’t just faulty memory… but evidence of something far bigger?

In this episode, we begin with the strange and persistent phenomenon known as the Mandela Effect—shared memories that don’t align with recorded history. From altered logos to events that many people remember differently, these anomalies raise an uncomfortable question: why are so many people remembering the same “wrong” past?
From there, we follow the thread into far murkier territory.
We explore Project Looking Glass, the alleged time-viewing technology rumored to allow observers to see possible future timelines—and the claims that, at some point, those timelines began to collapse into a single, unavoidable outcome. What happens when the future can no longer be changed?
This naturally leads us to CERN, the Large Hadron Collider, and the ongoing speculation surrounding its experiments, reality-altering implications, and its uncanny timing alongside spikes in Mandela Effects, social upheaval, and global psychological shifts.
Are we witnessing converging timelines?
Is reality recalibrating itself?
And could this be tied to a broader awakening of human consciousness—a moment where perception, memory, and identity are being challenged at a fundamental level?
This episode doesn’t tell you what to think. It invites you to connect the dots, question the narrative, and decide for yourself whether these phenomena are coincidences… or clues.
Because if reality is shifting—someone noticed first.
