EP 087 Project Babylon: Gerard Bull | Conspiracy and Narrative Control

Gerard Bull & Project Babylon The Space Gun That Got Him Killed Conspiracy and narrative control meet investigative history in the story of Gerard Bull and Project Babylon, Iraq’s ambitious supergun program. Explore Bull’s electromagnetic engineering, the political forces surrounding the project, and the unresolved questions about his 1990 assassination—without treating speculation as proof. https://SomeUnapprovedThinking.com Sponsor - https://DarkHorseEntrepreneur.com Tracy investigates the 1990 Brussels killing of Canadian ballistics expert Gerard Bull and argues that Project Babylon united global intelligence services against him because it threatened to democratize access to space. It recounts Bull’s early HAARP work stacking surplus artillery barrels to launch instruments to high altitudes, his 1968 record shot to 180 km, and the subsequent shutdown that pushed him into designing advanced artillery like the GC45 for paying governments. Financially strained, Bull accepted Saddam Hussein’s funding in 1988 to build Babylon, beginning with a 46-meter “Baby Babylon” and aiming for a 156-meter supergun with both satellite-launch and weapon potential, while also extending Iraq’s Scud range. The script details dispersed European manufacturing, a 1990 UK customs interception, competing theories about who killed Bull, and the later destruction of Babylon’s components after Iraq invaded Kuwait, concluding that the true threat was proving space access need not be a superpower monopoly. 00:00 Assassination 00:29 Bull’s Dangerous Idea 01:50 Space Gun Origins 02:31 HAARP Breakthrough 03:25 Shut Down and Fallout 04:30 Commercializing Genius 05:12 Iraq Funds Babylon 06:00 What Babylon Really Meant 06:47 Brussels and the Hit 07:55 Who Pulled the Trigger 09:48 Erasing the Project 10:26 Legacy and Modern Echoes 11:07 The Real Threat to Power 13:18 Final Questions gerard bull, project babylon, supergun, mossad assassination, space weapons, alternative history, conspiracies, conspiracy history, conspiracy theories, conspiracy theory, electromagnetic engineering, investigative history, conspiracy, narrative control, institutional skepticism, hidden history, controversial, revisionist history, conspiracies, hidden narratives, historical patterns, forbidden ideas, cultural conditioning, hidden conspiracy, conspiracy theory, historical conspiracies, hidden insights, conspiracy theories, hidden patterns, conspiracy history, history untold stories, forbidden history, human behavior, hidden past, historical insight, untold history, history conspiracy, patterns of history https://SomeUnapprovedThinking.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
