In the video interview hosted by Michael Jaco on January 21, 2026, he speaks with author Brad Olsen about Olsen's new book, Secrets of Antarctica: The Untold History of the Ice Continent. The discussion delves into a range of conspiracy theories centered on Antarctica, blending historical claims, alleged hidden technologies, extraterrestrial elements, and modern geopolitical intrigue.

 Olsen draws from sources like maps, diaries, whistleblower accounts, and his own research to support his narratives. Below, I'll unpack the key topics chronologically and thematically, highlighting the main claims, anecdotes, and conclusions they present. Nazi Post-WWII Operations and Relocation to AntarcticaThe conversation starts with the idea that the Nazis didn't fully surrender after World War II but instead went underground, relocating operations to South America and Antarctica to build a "Fourth Reich." Olsen claims thousands of Germans, including scientists, military personnel, and even women recruited from Ukraine and volunteers from Croatia, were transported via U-boats to establish self-sustaining colonies.

• Key Claims: Bases like "New Schwabenland" (Neuschwabenland) and "New Berlin" were set up under the ice, interconnected by tunnels. Martin Bormann allegedly smuggled vast amounts of gold, artifacts (including the Spear of Destiny), and resources to fund these efforts. The Antarctica Treaty of 1959 is portrayed as a "truce" that allowed these bases to remain hidden in exchange for no flyovers or interference, with secret cooperation from the U.S., Russia, and groups like the Illuminati.
• Anecdotes: Olsen shares a personal story from a tour in La Falda, Argentina, where a guide claimed Hitler and Eva Braun escaped to South America via U-boat, living out their lives there. He also references micronations in South America as Nazi strongholds, influenced by figures like Juan Perón.
• Conclusions: This relocation enabled the Nazis to preserve their ideology and technology, forming the basis for ongoing hidden activities.

Hollow Earth Theory and Inner-Earth ConnectionsA significant portion covers the "Hollow Earth" concept, with Olsen dedicating a chapter in his book to it. He describes Antarctica as a gateway to inner-earth realms like Agartha (a supposed advanced civilization) and Shambala.

• Key Claims: Nazis conducted expeditions to Tibet in the 1930s, obtaining maps and instructions for diving under the ice to access these realms. Antarctica's geothermal features (e.g., 14 active volcanoes and 93 vents) create habitable domes and tunnels. Maps allegedly show specific dive paths to underground lakes and Agartha.
• Anecdotes: Olsen links this to Admiral Richard Byrd's 1946 Operation Highjump, citing Byrd's diary (which he claims is authentic) describing flying into a hole at the South Pole, encountering UFOs with Nazi insignia ("Flugelrads"), and meeting a telepathic "master" from an Aryan inner-earth domain. He connects it to Hindu yogi maps of subterranean meditation sites.
• Conclusions: The Nazis allied with inner-earth beings, gaining advanced knowledge, and these portals (one at each pole) have since been "quarantined" to prevent interdimensional travel.

Advanced Technologies, UFOs, and Extraterrestrial InvolvementThe discussion shifts to technologies allegedly developed or acquired in these bases, including anti-gravity devices and genetic experiments.

• Key Claims: Nazis reverse-engineered UFOs, with examples like anti-gravity craft that could manipulate vehicles (e.g., lowering Byrd's plane). Bases include cloning labs creating "polar men" (tall, hairy, soulless beings with black eyes) and chimeras (human-animal hybrids). Reptilian extraterrestrials supposedly donated bases to the Germans.
• Anecdotes: A whistleblower named "Spartan One" (a Navy SEAL) described seeing ancient, glowing nonhuman structures 2-3 miles under the ice, including massive basalt UFO motherships like the Nazi Nena, Pinton, and Santa Maria. Remote viewers and figures like Gene Decode corroborate sightings of these entities.
• Conclusions: These technologies were integrated into Nazi operations post-WWII, with UFOs "gifted" to the U.S. after Operation Highjump's alleged defeat. Extraterrestrials (e.g., reptoids) have been "removed" from the bases in recent years.

The Falklands War and "Black Goo"Olsen connects the 1982 Falklands War to Antarctic conspiracies, framing it as a covert battle over resources rather than a territorial dispute.

• Key Claims: The war targeted "black goo," a substance that enhances human capabilities (e.g., stamina for super soldiers or pressure resistance for space/submarine travel). British forces bombed a Nazi-linked base on South Thule Island to seize it.
• Anecdotes: He cites interviews with researchers like Harold Aspden and David Griffin, who spoke to sailors confirming the goo's role. Whistleblowers like Penny Bradley and Drago Reed claim they ingested it during Nazi programs.
• Conclusions: The war's odd focus on remote islands ties into Nazi influences in Argentina, and black goo remains a key element in modern covert tech development.

Recent Developments and Alleged "Trump Team" TakeoverToward the end, they address current events, suggesting shifts in control over these bases.

• Key Claims: Earthquakes in Antarctica have led to evacuations, with German-speaking individuals emerging at McMurdo Station seeking tunnel access (per Gene Decode). Olsen asserts that a "Trump team" (implying allies or white-hat forces) has overtaken the Nazi bases, with figures like Stuart Seldowitz knowing insiders who won't disclose full details.
• Anecdotes: Maps from sources like Brian S. show a "corkscrew road" into a South Pole hole, with snowmobile tracks leading there. High-profile visits by Prince Harry and John Kerry are cited as evidence of elite access to hidden sites.
• Conclusions: The bases near the pole's hole are now under new control, with a post-Highjump truce broken. Reptilian influences have been eliminated, and portals closed.

Broader Conspiracy Ties and PredictionsThe interview wraps with wider implications:

• Nazi Legacy: Figures like Wernher von Braun founded institutions like NASA, the EU, NATO, and UN. Claims include Angela Merkel and Theresa May as cloned or direct descendants of Hitler/Braun.
• Weaponized Tech: HAARP on Rothschild Island allegedly causes earthquakes and weather events (e.g., Turkey/Greece incidents tied to NATO tensions).
• Financial and Earth Changes: Rising gold/silver prices signal "deep state" collapse; predictions of massive West Coast earthquakes from solar activity or HAARP.
• Overall Narrative: Olsen and Jaco portray Antarctica as a hub for hidden history and power struggles, with ongoing "disclosures" but a 10+ year timeline for full deep state defeat. They promote Olsen's book for its maps, photos, and evidence, teasing future works on underwater megaliths and giants.

This discussion is heavy on unverified claims from whistleblowers, historical reinterpretations, and speculative connections, presented as part of a larger awakening narrative. Jaco praises Olsen's research for compiling hard-to-find sources into an accessible format.
