Conspiracies and the Truth We’re Not Told ft. Ben Bowlin | Conversate with Killer Mike ep. 31

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 20:35:00 -0000

This week on Conversate with Killer Mike, Mike, Swiff, and Bear sit down with Ben Bowlin, co host of Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, for a deep dive into the conspiracies that shape Atlanta and the world. The conversation moves from the Atlanta child murders and lingering questions around Wayne Williams, to propaganda, psychological operations, and whether America has been living inside a carefully constructed bubble. They unpack government secrecy, CIA influence in Hollywood, psychic experiments, environmental corruption abroad, and the idea that a small group of elites quietly steer global systems. Then it goes cosmic. Are UFO sightings evidence of advanced military tech or extraterrestrial life? Did ancient civilizations receive knowledge from beyond this planet? Why has the moon landing never felt fully settled in the public imagination? And if aliens are real, who already knows? Grounded in Atlanta history and global politics, this episode balances skepticism with curiosity. It is not about blind belief. It is about asking better questions. In a world where trust feels broken, how do you stay curious without losing your footing? As Ben puts it, it is always better to be curious than judgmental.

Since coming home he has devoted his life to community work, mentorship, and challenging the systems that criminalize Black youth while advocating for real paths to redemption.

Killer Mike, Cutmaster Swiff, Bear, and Akbar Pray sit down for one of the most powerful conversations ever recorded on Conversate. Akbar walks the crew through his journey from growing up in the heroin era of Newark to becoming a major figure in organized crime, to finding purpose, leadership, and transformation through Islam, education, and community work. The episode dives into addiction, the Nation of Islam, organized crime, mass incarceration, the structure of power in American cities, and the real cost of leadership in the streets. Mike connects with Akbar on a deeply personal level as they compare childhoods shaped by drugs, literature, and the teachings of Black elders who gave them knowledge long before they understood it. The conversation becomes a masterclass in accountability, redemption, economics, and what it means to turn intelligence into leadership. This is an honest, layered, and generational talk about the streets, the system, the hustle, and the possibilities for Black men to rebuild instead of destroy.
