Greatest Heists In History

The Nazi plunder, the Mona Lisa thieves, and the $1 billion raid: Hear all about the “greatest” heists in history on this Edge of Wonder Live with Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts.

Throughout history, the boldest thieves have turned museums, banks, and vaults into their personal playgrounds—snatching billions, vanishing into immoral legends, and leaving the world gasping. The recent Louvre jewelry heist reignited people’s fascination with these daring but terrible crimes, which is exactly why we’re diving into this topic now.

We’ll dive into the shadowy genius who emptied the Louvre’s masterpiece wall in 1911 when thieves stole the Mona Lisa, the high-tech crews who cracked unbreakable safes, the more than $1 billion that vanished in Iraq, and even a Nazi plunder. These are the “greatest” heists ever pulled. Buckle up as Ben and Rob go deeper into the art of the steal. Here’s more from Rise TV.

Are These The Proof Of God?

Are near-death experiences (NDEs) proof that God is real?

Some scientific studies suggest NDEs are merely the brain hallucinating at the moment of death. But for those who experience them, it feels profoundly real. In fact, people from all walks of life—different ages, cultures, and backgrounds—report having them.

Science has discovered an invisible light that vanishes when we die. Could this finally prove the existence of a soul? If so, how does this change the scientific understanding of life, the afterlife, and NDEs in general?

Could Cloud Seeding Cause This?

Is the cloud seeding “Rainmaker” connected to the Texas floods? Jump into the facts and rumors on this Edge of Wonder Live.

Texas has experienced one of its worst floods in history, with more than 100 deaths and many people still missing. Eerily, there are striking similarities between the floods in Texas and the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, including the same number of deaths reported so far.

Pilots on social media have reported blocked rescue efforts similar to what happened in North Carolina as well. At the center of the controversy and disaster, though, is a company called Rainmaker, which was performing cloud seeding in July over parts of Texas.

In this episode, examine a map of the cloud seeding locations to determine if they correspond with the areas affected by flooding. At the end of the show, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a meditation/prayer exclusively on Rise.TV.

Goodbye Food Dyes, Chemtrails

Can we finally say goodbye to food dyes and chemtrails?

What’s the latest and strangest geoengineering strategy celebrities are calling out? Hear all about it on Edge of Wonder with Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts.

In a massive win for America, artificial food dyes will now start to be phased out of all food products within the next year or so. But the questions are: Why did it take so long for this to happen when the United Kingdom has already banned these dyes? What changed, and how far back has this conversation been going? The answers may shock you.

Speaking of the UK, scientists have received approval to test whether “dimming” the light from the sun “will combat global warming.” Some critics have described it as barking mad— or, you might say, not a very “bright” idea. But this brings up a larger discussion on chemtrails and geoengineering. Here’s more from Rise TV.

Bizarre History Of Santa Claus

How much do you really know about Santa Claus? The story is one strange and weird history dating back over a thousand years. The original St. Nicholas of Bari was said to have rescued 3 children out of poverty, saved innocent soldiers from wrongful execution, and even chopped down a tree that was reportedly possessed. St. Nick was also at the Council of Nicaea, which was the crucial turning point of Christianity and a huge spark of controversy for the Catholic Church. Learn the true history missing from all the Christmas movies.

Then hear about another, darker Christmas figure who emerged for naughty children: Krampus. He is a horned, demon-goat figure who carries a sack and kidnaps children. Once upon a time, St. Nick and Krampus would supposedly go out together, and the bad children would be taken away or beaten with rods and sticks while the good ones would get toys.

Did these two figures merge, and that’s how today’s “Santa Claus” was born? Where did the red coat come from? And how did Coca-Cola influence what we know as Santa Claus?

Tune in to discover all of this, plus the weekly Mandela Effect and the Metaphysical Minute segments. on Rise.TV’s The Edge of Wonder, hosted by Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts.

Childhood Of Jesus Revealed

Jesus’ childhood was revealed in a manuscript, and new details emerged about a Britney Spears Mandela Effect.

A 1600-year-old manuscript was found that led to an extremely shocking, fascinating discovery. It seemed to be one of the earliest known manuscripts of the Gospel of Thomas, which mentioned a miracle Jesus performed as a child. But this brings up a very important question: Why isn’t Saint Thomas’ Gospel in the Bible today?

The Gospel of Thomas was discovered in 1945 at Nag Hammadi in Egypt. The manuscript contained 114 sayings attributed to Jesus. Some believe that the ideas Thomas mentioned sounded too absurd to be written in the Bible, or appeared to be potentially contradictory to the beliefs of Jesus’ other disciples. But what was exactly mentioned?

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene was also left out of the Bible. What exactly happened at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD? But this led to other questions such as, “Does the Bible have a copyright?” Turns out, this question is much more complicated than what anyone would suspect. Join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts on this episode of The Edge of Wonder as they reveal what they found.

Also on the show: Hear a personal story from a Rise.TV subscriber about a message from “beyond the grave,” and discover Ben’s updates about a Mandela Effect related to Britney Spears, which blew his mind.

CIA’s Holographic Universe

The CIA did secret research on astral projection and questioned if we’re living in a holographic universe. If that weren’t enough, the CIA even recruited people to train them on achieving different states of consciousness. Why? They wanted to attempt to time travel back into the past to see events, or look into the future to see what would happen. And this isn’t a rumor or conspiracy theory: There were pages declassified from the CIA’s archives, and now, one mysterious document is available. One of the pages was originally omitted, but Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts hunted it down. Some of the conclusions that the CIA came to are literally out of this world.

The governmental agency also studied how transcendental meditation affects the body, and they monitored the flow of energy in people’s bodies. Did they gain any understanding of how we’re all connected to the universe? The report was written by US Army Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M. McDonnell, with technical assistance from mastermind Israeli-American biomedical engineer Itzhak Bentov. A man by the name of Robert Monroe led the research, and interestingly, he later founded an organization called The Monroe Institute to study consciousness.

The CIA’s document explained how they listened to certain rhythms and beats, which we now call binaural beats. They found that brain waves change as a person listens, inducing a meditative state and making it easier for REM sleep. What are the implications of that research? Join Ben Chasteen and Rob  Counts on this Edge of Wonder Live as they discuss this mind-blowing document that was only intended for the CIA’s top brass on transcending space-time, interdimensional travel, hypnosis, biofeedback, quantum physics, and universal holograms. Don’t miss the Live Q&A followed by a meditation/prayer that you can only find on Rise.TV!
