Eric Burlison: 'I do believe [giants] were real'</p><p>In June, Rep. Eric Burlison, a Missouri Republican serving on the House Oversight Committee, appeared on BlazeTV’s Prime Time with Alex Stein, where he discussed his belief that giants once existed. Burlison told Stein he was scheduled to be at 'NephCon 2025,' a conference focused on fringe topics including the biblical Nephilim —figures in Genesis that some interpret as the giant offspring of angels and human women.</p><p>He credited Timothy Alberino’s podcast with sending him 'far down the rabbit hole, eventually reaching claims that the Smithsonian Institution is hiding evidence, the bones of past giants that lived on the Earth. Burlison suggested that, as a member of the Oversight Committee, he could investigate the Smithsonian, and suggested first developing a strategy with Stein.</p><p>The conversation followed their exchange on angels as 'interdenominational beings.'"</p><p><a href="https://meidasnews.com/news/gop-oversight-member-suggests-smithsonian-hiding-bones-of-giants" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">meidasnews.com/news/gop-oversi</span><span class="invisible">ght-member-suggests-smithsonian-hiding-bones-of-giants</span></a></p>
