The most interesting aspect of this series is trying to discern if the pseudoscience 'experts' (none of whom appear to have any education on the topics on which they claim to have expertise) actually believe the tripe their spouting or if they are perpetrating outright con-artistry.
I feel, unfortunately that it is largely the second, mainly because of the way in which they obscure facts and reality and determindly ignore evidence. Its a shame, because if they were people who actually put their heads down and studied and became part of the reputable academic community then they could potential shift the paradigm; but that's not really what they're after. They just wanna sell books and trinkets to new wave seekers, conspiracy fed paranoids, stay at home 'sleuths' and get their face onto these kinds of show. If them and their fans realised that the truth is stranger and complex and interesting than fiction, you might be able to get them into a library or peer reviewed journal but as it is it'll be self published pamphlets of weird extrapolations.
