In the first half, permaculture teacher and entrepreneur David Blume discussed his long-standing advocacy for ethanol as a viable alternative fuel. He noted that ethanol blends are now approved at 15% in the U.S., but they can be used up to 85%. Further, many countries, including India, sell 100% ethanol. Blume explained the ethanol production process, emphasizing that it is typically derived from yeast fermenting corn sugars, and noted that the leftover grain after starch conversion makes superior cattle feed. Arguing that ethanol use is quietly increasing worldwide as the oil industry falters, he challenged the notion that electric vehicles are the inevitable future, citing serious safety and environmental concerns with lithium-ion batteries.
Highlighting the ease of converting cars to run on ethanol, he said that modern flexible fuel vehicles can operate on pure alcohol, gasoline, or any mix. "What we want to do is make a conversion kit, which goes right in under your dash, in the OBD-II slot where mechanics plug in to diagnose your car," he detailed. Addressing environmental concerns, he recounted working with astronaut Gordon Cooper on jet engines running on alcohol, revealing that ethanol combustion produced almost no measurable emissions. "Literally, it was burning LA smog up and putting out clean exhaust," he marveled, underscoring ethanol's potential to reduce pollution and extend engine life by minimizing carbon buildup.
Blume reported on emerging technologies like direct ethanol fuel cells, which convert alcohol into electricity, using only a small amount of the fuel for waste heat and exhaust, compared to the much larger waste in traditional fuel combustion. This technology is particularly useful in remote areas like the Amazon, where it powers medical clinics and boats using locally produced alcohol from tropical fruits. Blume also shared insights from his distillery business, shifting focus from fuel production to premium agave spirits, akin to tequila but produced in California.

In the latter half, Jeffrey Seelman — a seasoned psychic and clearing specialist with more than three decades of experience — delved into negative spirit encounters. He explained that, although many spirits are benevolent, some retain harmful tendencies from their lives on Earth and can act malevolently. According to Seelman, such entities influence people by channeling invisible feelings of rage and anger, ultimately affecting emotions and behavior. He observed that these incidents have become more frequent amid the current global unrest. Seelman also described a vivid memory from his childhood, an encounter with reptilian-like aliens in his bedroom in 1963.
Seelman helps clients clear negative spirits and emotional energies from homes and businesses, often remotely via Zoom or photographs. Addressing the origin of these attacks, he rejected the notion of a singular evil entity orchestrating them, explaining, "Most negative spirits can't get along with each other, much less take orders from any higher spirit." Instead, these spirits act independently, targeting vulnerable individuals and those in power to sow discord, he added. He also identified a category of demonic spirits, powerful entities comparable to angels, capable of causing both emotional and physical harm.
Describing his own harrowing experience, Seelman recounted a 2007 stay at a notoriously haunted hotel where he was attacked by a demonic spirit: "There was something floating directly above me...It was a misshapen woman that was not completely formed, sort of heavy set looking...singing a very, very ugly and scary lullaby. There was clearly an attack meant to disrupt my inner mind." Despite his strong defenses, the encounter left him physically and mentally shaken for days. Regarding defense methods, he advocates for active self-clearing rituals and energy-shaping techniques, which he teaches.
