New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlo Oct 1, 2025 John Brandenburg, PhD, is a plasma physicist. He is author of Death on Mars, Beyond Einstein’s Unified Field, Life and Death on Mars, Dead Mars Dying Earth, Morningstar Pass, and The GEM Unification Theory. In this video, rebooted from 2020, he describes his concerns about nuclear war as he worked in U.S. government weapons laboratories. Eventually he became captivated by the possibility that the “face on Mars” indicated intelligent life elsewhere in our solar system. Further research led him to conclude that the presence of certain isotopes on Mars were evidence of an ancient nuclear war. The discussion concludes with his forays into science fiction writing and his explorations of a government UFO coverup.
