I Was Detained In Lebanon as an Israeli Spy

From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) Because I said this off the top of my head I made a few mistakes: 1. It was more like 35 people gawking, not 65 2. I keep calling them the CID for some reason when I really mean the ISF (Internal Security Forces) Other than that,…

Faking History

From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) We didn’t mean to take such a long break but a few weeks ago we got bad medical news about our dog and now we’re sort of trying to make his exit as good as possible. Then when we started trying to get back into the swing…

From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) I realize in the video I mentioned Rebel John of Sports Ebeye, but after I recorded the video I was given a different address to send donations to. For those saints among you willing to help out, please send any and all gear (*not funding*) to: Terry…

The Republican Official Caught Selling Babies

From “Rare Earth”. ( YouTube / Nebula ) Today’s episode goes out to viewer Brandan Lee who alerted me to this story in the comments section of our video two weeks ago and inspired me to put this together. Thanks Brandan, you rock. It isn’t exactly a Rare Earth story, but I wanted to tell…
