AI Psychos Plan to Genetically Modify Military Dogs
#291
11/01/2026

Today we speak to deep-politics researcher Robert Skvarla. We discuss "Warhound", a $200 million startup developing genetically engineered military dogs. No joke. They want to clone elite military canines, modify their DNA, potentially enhance their senses with wolf genes (!), and equip them with "advanced battlefield technology". Sounds like a Metal Gear solid plot, but it's real. We also go into other topics like MK Ultra and controlled opposition conspiracy theorists...
