René Barnett returns to radio with NightVision paranormal talk show on Cable Radio Network

SUNLAND, CA. (SPPR) – Controversial documentary filmmaker and reality television producer René Barnett returns to her radio roots with Night Vision, a daring new program that explores the paranormal through conversations with those who claim up close and personal experiences with the unknown.

Conspiracies, extraterrestrial encounters, conversations with the dead, secret societies and cryptozoology are only some of the very edgy topics included in the radio show, which premieres May 29th on the Cable Radio Network and other broadcast stations.

The two-hour program will run live at 9 p.m. Pacific time, and midnight Eastern.

“Because of my work, I’m fortunate to know a lot of name people in these subject areas,” Barnett says. “Night Vision will have authors and experts as guests, but we’re really putting the focus on the eye-witnesses and ‘experiencers’. We’ll hear from the person who was abducted by aliens, saved by an angel, or sucked into another dimension.”

A former radio producer/personality, print journalist and managing editor of UFO magazine, René Barnett is a veteran reality television producer specializing in entertainment specials, series, documentaries and reality-based programming. Her producing credits include some of the premiere specials and series of the reality television genre, including Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, Unmasked: Exposing the Secrets of Deception, Strange Universe, Places of Mystery, Guinness Book of Records Primetime and the highly-rated clip show Busted Everywhere.

Barnett is also producer of the 2008 nonfiction film Bloodline, which caused worldwide controversy by going a step beyond The Da Vinci Code with an exploration of the theory that Jesus Christ married and had a child with Mary Magdalene (“An ambitious, sharply intriguing documentary”– Los Angeles Times).

Says Barnett: “A night vision camera illuminates things hidden in the dark. That’s what this show will do,” Barnett says. “We’re going straight to the people who’ve had firsthand experiences and let them tell their stories. Whether it’s someone who communicates with the dead or was abducted by aliens, we’ll hear their story. Don’t get me wrong, we’re not completely credulous, but I don’t feel it’s our job to debunk them, either. Night Vision will give them a forum.”

The two-hour program will include other unique elements, including a five-minute news segment by Night Vision team member, Alan Maxson “in which you’ll get all the news you won’t hear on CNN and Fox: the sightings, anomalies, earth changes.” The second hour of Night Vision will feature calls from listeners.

The Night Vision team also includes producer Jeff Floro and the Goddess Artemis, “taking your calls.”

NightVision premieres May 29th at 9 pm Pacific time, midnight Eastern.

TRIVIA: René Barnett got her start in radio at KAKC in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as the newscaster who also provided occasional live sound effects on called “Dr. Mazeppa Pompazoidi’s Unfilmy Can Festival,” a zany late night show featuring Tulsa natives Gailard Sartain and Gary Busey. René Barnett was a regular guest on Art Bell’s AM Coast to Coast and Dreamland radio series. René Barnett is creator and executive producer of two cable network reality television series now in production.

NEWS – July 9th

René and Bruce wound up a hugely successful tour of the Pacific Northwest, where they opened the film in Portland, Oregon and Yelm, Washington.

The first stop was a private screening for 100 invited guests at the Hotel Deluxe in downtown Portland. The next morning Bruce and Rene drove 2 hours up Highway 5 into Washington State, to the small town of Yelm, to meet and greet a crowd of over 700 Bloodline fans who had gathered at the town’s new $6 million cinema complex to watch the film.

The special screening was organized by JZ Knight, the world famous motivational speaker and head of the Ramtha School of Englightenment (RSE). JZ is a huge fan of Bloodline and hired the cinema to show all her students. In fact, there were so many of them, they hired four screens at the cinemas, translating the film in four different languages!

In fact JZ was also instrumental in opening a number of well known documentaries in Yelm, including An Inconvenient Truth and What the Bleep do we Know?

Bruce and Rene spent about an hour meeting and talking to everyone, before heading off to RSE for a tour of the facility with Steve Klein, the school’s head of Special Events. That evening Bruce and Rene were dinner guests of JZ, her partner James, former Vatican theologian Miceal Ledwith, and the actress Salma Hayek. After dinner, Bruce and Rene did a ‘Q&A’ in the school’s great hall with 700 or more of their students.


It was then back down to Portland and a series of radio and TV appearances to promote the opening of the film at the Living Room Theaters on Friday June 27th. These included the hilarious Cort & Fatboy show on KUFO, and interview with Inessa at Kink FM, ABC’s NorthwestAM breakfast TV show on KATU, and a special live radio broadcast with Clyde Lewis on his Ground Zero show.



Bloodline also garnered good reviews from the two main papers in Portland. Matt Davis from the Portland Mercury said: "Bloodline is as hypnotically engaging as a well-executed magic trick", and Stan Hall from The Oregonian said: "Well-made, full of spy-movie intrigue."

Finally, on Friday June 27th the film opened at the Living Room Theaters, and Bruce & René did ‘Q&A’s’ on the first two nights to packed houses, and on Friday night they appeared on the Coast to Coast radio show hosted by George Knapp for two hours discussing the film and their research at length, and taking calls from listeners.


Bloodline was held over in both Yelm and Portland, and will be opening Friday, July 11, in Bellingham, Washington as well as Dallas, Tempe and Sedona. That means more traveling this weekend for Bruce and René, but in order to cover more territory, they are heading off in different directions. Bruce will be appearing at the Dallas Anjelika Theater on Friday and Saturday nights following the 7 pm showings of Bloodline, and René will be in Tempe, Arizona at the Harkins and Friday night and Sedona Saturday night at the Dream Theater immediately following the ‘prime time’ screenings for Q & A.

René will be appearing among a list of distinguished speakers at the Third Annual Magdalene Gathering in New Haven, Connecticut July 18-20. For more information and to register for the event, which includes, among other notables, authors Timothy Wallace-Murphy and William Henry, go to www.gloriaamendola.com. There may be room for a few more registrations.

Oxford University dates priest's papers to 19TH century

Oxford University’s Radio Carbon Lab have carried out a ‘carbon 14’ dating analysis on a sample of one of the ‘clue’ papers, signed by Berenger Sauniere and discovered in a series of glass bottles by Ben Hammott, and confirmed that the paper and ink dated from before 1919. They said the mostly likely date was somewhere between 1867 and 1919, almost exactly the same dates that the priest was at Rennes-le-Chateau. This further rules out the possibility of them being a modern forgery or hoax.


Bruce said: “This is great news for all of us who believe in Ben and his discoveries. There has been a lot of speculation about the provenance of the messages left in the bottles, but now even the staunchest critics will have to eat their hats!”

Rene added: “I think we’re slowly peeling back more and more layers of the Rennes-le-Chateau mystery, and getting closer and closer to what made the priest break with his faith and with Rome. The results of this carbon 14 analysis means it very likely that Sauniere did write those clues and confessions, which in turn adds weight to the fact that the priest did bury the relics Ben found, and that they both discovered the same tomb in the mountain.”

Ben Hammott said: “I’m thrilled with these results. I always believed that they may have been written by Berenger Sauniere and now, in addition to the handwriting and signature analysis, we have proof that they were written during the same period that he was at Rennes-le-Chateau.”
