What really happened during Operation High Jump, the largest Antarctic expedition in U.S. military history? Why did a massive American naval task force—led by Admiral Richard E. Byrd—suddenly abandon Antarctica after just eight weeks?

In this episode of Conspiracy Tapes by Skoob, host Ryan Martin dives deep into one of the most chilling post–World War II mysteries. We explore rumors of secret Nazi bases in Antarctica, British SAS missions, hidden underground facilities, classified military objectives, and the unexplained decisions that still fuel conspiracy theories nearly 80 years later.

From Neuschwabenland and ice-free zones labeled “Shangri-La,” to Cold War paranoia, lost documents, and the mysterious death of Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, this episode separates documented history from speculation—and asks the questions history never answered.

Was Operation High Jump a scientific mission, a military warning, or something far more secretive? And what might still be buried beneath miles of Antarctic ice?

What if nearly 300 years of human history never happened?

In this episode of Skoob Podcasts, host Ryan Martin dives into the Phantom Time Conspiracy, a bizarre historical theory claiming that the years between 614 and 911 AD were completely fabricated. According to the Phantom Time Hypothesis, figures like Charlemagne may never have existed, the Dark Ages were artificially created, and we might not actually be living in the 21st century at all.

We explore the origins of the theory, the people accused of rewriting history, and the evidence often cited by believers—from calendar manipulation and missing archaeology to bold claims about medieval Europe. Then, we put the conspiracy to the test using astronomy, archaeology, historical records, and scientific dating methods to see whether time itself can really be faked.

Is this one of history’s greatest cover-ups—or a powerful reminder of how easily misinformation can reshape the past?

🎧 Tune in for a deep dive into one of the most mind-bending theories ever proposed—and decide for yourself what history got right, and what it might still be hiding.

What is the Deep State, really — a conspiracy theory, or a quiet system of unelected power operating behind American democracy?

In this episode of Conspiracy Tapes by Skoob, host Ryan Martin breaks down how institutional power works in the United States — from intelligence agencies and military contractors to Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and privatized surveillance.

We explore how the Deep State narrative evolved after 9/11, why both political parties have accused it of controlling policy, and how presidents from Obama to Trump campaigned on change — only to govern within the same system. This episode also examines the role of intelligence contractors, government oversight failures, QAnon, and how distrust in institutions helped fuel modern political unrest, including January 6th.

This isn’t about secret cabals or movie-style conspiracies. It’s about systems, incentives, and what happens when power outlives accountability.
