On July 9th, 2025, a terrified young

inventor named Julian Brown looked

directly into his camera and whispered

words that would be his last public

statement. I’m certainly under attack

right now. screen record this. Within

hours, he vanished without a trace.

Julian had done something that should

have made him a hero. He’d figured out

how to turn plastic waste into fuel. But

instead of billiondoll deals, he got

black helicopters circling his home at

night, secret spotlights tracking his

every move, false accusations to federal

agencies, and then silence. His 1.7

million followers watched in horror as

their daily updates stopped. His mother

would only say he was safe, but couldn’t

reveal where. The police claimed they

weren’t even investigating. It was as if

someone very powerful wanted Julian

Brown to disappear, and they got their

wish. But here’s the chilling part. This

has happened before. 27 years earlier,

another inventor claimed he could

revolutionize fuel. Stanley Meyer said

he could run a car on water. He was

meeting with investors when he suddenly

clutched his throat. Ran from a

restaurant and collapsed in the parking

lot. His final words, “They poisoned

me.” Two inventors, two revolutionary

field technologies, two mysterious

fates. Is this coincidence, or is there

something darker at play? A pattern of

brilliant minds being silenced when they

dare to challenge the most powerful

industry on Earth? What you’re about to

hear isn’t just another conspiracy

theory. It’s a documented trail of

suppression, sabotage, and secrets that

leads to one terrifying question. What

happens when your invention is worth

more than your life?

Hello, strangers. Welcome back to the

Strange Barring Grill. I’m your host,

JP. Today’s topic is one I’ve seen

floating around online everywhere. I was

hesitant at first about making a video

on this topic, but after I started

researching the story anyway, I really

kind of went down this rabbit hole and I

think I have some details that others

may have missed. So, let’s jump right in

and start connecting the dots.

[Music]

Julian Brown wasn’t your typical college

dropout. At just 18, he taught himself

welding in his parents’ garage and

became obsessed with solving two

problems at once. Plastic pollution and

expensive fuel. His solution, a machine

he called a microwave paralysis reactor.

Basically, a high-tech oven that could

melt plastic waste and transform it into

gasoline, diesel, and even jet fuel. He

founded a company called Nature Jab with

a simple mission. End plastic waste by

turning it into energy. What made Brown

different was his radical transparency.

While most companies keep their

innovation secret, he documented every

step online, sharing failures and

successes with his growing audiences. I

believe that doing this allows people to

be a part of my journey, he explained.

And maybe that’s the issue here. Maybe

he shouldn’t have shared with everyone.

He avoided venture capital, preferring

grants and grassroots support through a

GoFundMe that eventually raised over

$30,000. The crazy part of all this is

the technology was solid. It actually

worked. When ASAP Labs in Washington

tested his fuel in May of 2025, they

found it burned cleaner than regular

diesel. But many sources are saying

although the fuel burns cleaner, the

byproduct of making this type of fuel

using this method is inefficient and

causes more pollution actually. But I’ll

get to more of that in the theory

section at the end of the video, so

stick around for that. Reddit co-founder

Alexis O’hanian was so impressed he gave

Brown a $100,000 grant. Forbes featured

him. By 2024, Bran had built five

working prototypes and successfully

powered a car with fuel made from old

plastic bottles. But then things started

to get weird. In May of 2024, one of his

reactors exploded. The blast left Brown

with secondderee burns on his ankles and

feet, requiring surgery. He had to move

his entire operation to a remote

location in Alabama, 4 hours from home.

He started sleeping in his van, dealing

with crushing heat, humidity, and

mosquitoes while working on his

machines. He had partnered with the

Moses West Foundation and was planning

something big. But that’s when strange

things started to happen.

On July 3rd of 2025, Julian Brown’s

Instagram posts took a dark turn. He

claimed black helicopters with

spotlights were following him, circling

his location six times at night with

their radar transponders turned off.

Look, spotlight right at me. I don’t

know what’s going on. This is the third

time this little country’s been here.

Look, it has a spotlight on it. There is

a helicopter with a spotlight that keeps

circling around me. It’s so loud though,

like I can’t even go to sleep. All

right. So, for those of you who have not

seen my stories on Instagram, two nights

ago, I was sleeping in Alabama where I

work with my reactor, and there was a

helicopter that flew really low and had

a spotlight at 10:00 at night. Flew over

me, shining the spotlight right into my

windshield, then flew away, came back,

did it again, came back, did it again,

came back, and did it again. It came

five times. And this helicopter was

flying so low, I could feel the blades

in my body. In one chilling video, he

said, “I know that I’m not going to live

long, and that’s why I put every day,

every hour, every minute into building,

into growing.” He talked about being

under attacked by mysterious groups and

mentioned being falsely accused and

reported to the EPA and the IRS. His

final post on July 9th baked followers

to screen record this as if he knew he

might disappear. And then he did. His

last Instagram story allegedly leaked

his own driver’s license before quickly

deleting, adding another bizarre twist

to an already strange case. For over two

weeks, nothing. No posts, no updates,

complete radio silence from someone who

had been posting almost daily. Here’s

what makes it even stranger. While

working on Nature Jab, Julian was also

simultaneously launching a side business

called Jabro,

selling all natural sunscreen and bug

repellent. He posted videos criticizing

conventional sunscreens petroleum

derived chemicals and proudly showed off

his chemical-free formula with

ingredients you can actually pronounce.

Some said the timing was bizarre. They

asked, “Why push skin care products

while you’re insisting you’re under

attack and might not live long.” Most

fans thought he was just trying to stay

normal despite the chaos. If you have

inventions, why not release them? Others

wondered if it was all an elaborate

marketing stunt. His mother, Nia Brown,

eventually broke her silence to say

Julian was safe, but couldn’t reveal his

location for security reasons. The

Atlanta police said they weren’t even

investigating a missing person’s case.

So, where was Julian? In hiding, under

protection, or had the pressure of fame

and dangerous experiments simply become

too much? Brown had mentioned that EPA

and IRS were after him. Some followers

whispered about big oil silencing

another threat to their empire. Others

compared his case to other black

inventors who had mysteriously vanished

after challenging the status quo. After

all, if you could really turn trash into

fuel, wouldn’t that destroy the oil

industry? Yes, it would. Or maybe

they’re trying to make him look crazy to

discredit him as well. While Julian

vanished, his company, Nature Jab,

didn’t. The website remained active, his

social media account stayed up, and his

GoFundMe continued collecting donations.

It was as if the inventor had

disappeared, but his invention lived on,

frozen in time, waiting for his return.

But this was not the first time an

alternative fuel inventor had dealt with

strange circumstances. Back in the

1990s, Stanley Meyer from Ohio claimed

he invented something even more

revolutionary, a car that could run on

water. Meyer’s device supposedly split

water into hydrogen and oxygen using a

special water fuel cell. He drove around

in a dune buggy painted with water

powered car on the side, appearing on TV

shows and giving demonstrations at

colleges. He claimed his invention could

make any car run on water instead of

gasoline. Again, this would be a huge

blow to the industry. The oil companies

must have been terrified, right? Cuz on

March 20th, 1998, Meyer was meeting with

two Belgian investors at a Cracker

Barrel restaurant. Now, that’s his first

mistake because he went to a Cracker

Barrel. I went to a Cracker Barrel one

time when I was in high school. I didn’t

even know that’s where we were going. We

just pulled up and I was like, “The name

of this restaurant is wild.” People were

looking at us like we were crazy.

Anyway, I know I’m getting off topic

here, but I said, “Give me an extra

steak knife. I’m sizing people up,

planning my escape route.” I didn’t even

know it at the time, but they were

actually accused of all kinds of racist

stuff. They would call black people

Canadians as like some kind of code

word. But anyway, I’m digressing from

the point. Let’s start from the

beginning here. On March 20th, 1998,

Myers was meeting with two Belgian

investors at a Cracker Barrel. He took a

sip of cranberry juice, suddenly grabbed

his throat, and ran outside. As he

collapsed in the parking lot, witnesses

heard him gasp, “They poisoned me.” He

was dead within minutes. And these

aren’t the only cases. Tom Ogle invented

a vapor carburetor in the 1970s that

could supposedly get over 100 miles per

gallon in a Ford Galaxy. University

professors verified it worked. Ogle died

at 26 years old from a drug and alcohol

overdose after being shot earlier that

year. Coincidence? Maybe, but what do

you think? And what about Aaron Salter

Jr., A former Buffalo officer and

scientist spent the past decade

developing a car engine field on water.

He documented the entire process on his

YouTube channel. Unfortunately, Aaron

would be shot at a grocery store where

he worked as a security guard during a

racially motivated mass shooting. Salter

spent the last moments of his life

firing back at the gunmen who took nine

other lives that fatal day. His acts

perhaps slowed down the alleged

terrorist and minimized the number of

victims. Some say this wasn’t a

coincidence and that it was an

orchestrated hit, an errand made to look

like a racially motivated shooting. But

what do you think? Let me know in the

comments section. So, there is a

disturbing pattern here. Inventors

create devices that threaten oil

profits. They gain attention, then they

either die mysteriously, disappear, or

their inventions simply vanish. Is big

oil really assassinating inventors or is

something else going on? So, here’s

where things get interesting because we

don’t have to guess whether oil

companies suppress alternative

technologies. We have proof they do. In

the 1970s and 80s, every major oil

company bought up solar technology

companies. Shell, Mobile, Exxon, BP,

they all acquired solar patents and

companies. Then, mysteriously, they

abandoned them all by 2010. Even more

damning, when Chevron Texico bought GM’s

electric car battery patents in 2000,

they immediately sued Toyota to stop

making electric Rav 4s. They literally

used patent law to try and kill the

electric car at that time. Internal

documents from 1982 show Exxon

scientists accurately predicted today’s

climate crisis. While publicly denying

climate change, they were privately

planning for a warmer world. They spent

millions funding climate denial while

knowing the truth. So yes, big oil

absolutely suppresses competing

technologies. They use lawyers and

patents. And I wouldn’t put it past them

to also use hired assassins. Sounds

crazy, but hell, I’ve seen people

getting shot over $20, so that’s not too

farfetched for me. Cuz what’s $20 to

billions and trillions of dollars,

right? But here’s the twist nobody talks

about. Stanley Meyer’s water car was

tested by court-appointed experts in

1996. Three independent scientists

examined his devices thoroughly. Their

conclusion, it was a complete fraud.

Myers’s revolutionary water fuel cell

was just regular electrolysis. Basic

high school science. They say it used

more energy to split the water than you

could ever get back by burning the

hydrogen. The court found him guilty of

gross and egregious fraud. They said he

scammed investors out of money with a

device that violated the laws of

physics. The coroner who examined

Myers’s body found he died of a brain

aneurysm. He had high blood pressure,

not poison. No conspiracy, just a con

man whose luck ran out. What if that’s

exactly what big oil wants us to think?

Is it really past these corporations to

to try to discredit someone, call them

crazy, hire the experts to do these

tests, say they’re crazy, and their

hands are clean of this situation, and

no one’s looking at them anymore. I

don’t think it’s too crazy. We see it

all the time. But with that, let’s take

a look at some possible theories and

think about this a little further. So

theory number one, the selective

targeting hypothesis. So maybe oil

companies only target investors with

real working technologies. Let’s say

Meyers was a fraud and he wasn’t a real

threat to the major oil companies. So

they let the courts handle him. But

Brown’s plastic to fuel tech actually

works. It’s confirmed. Tom Ogle’s

carburetor was verified by professors.

We know for a fact it was confirmed and

it worked. Big oil would have the

resources to verify that work by these

inventors and have the ability to take

them out. So, let’s say Stanley Meyer

was a fraud, but the oil companies still

believed he may be on to something. How

hard would it be for them to get rid of

him and cover it up? How hard would it

be for them to threaten Julian and cover

it up? How hard would it be for them to

kill Tom Ogle? He was shot at and then

he had died of a alcohol and drug

overdose. What do you think? Does that

sound like a cover up to you or are we

reaching here? So, theory number two,

the mental breakdown pattern. Could

Julian be suffering from a mental break?

Working alone on revolutionary

technology is incredibly stressful. I

would assume Julian suffered an

explosion, worked in isolation, and

suddenly gained 1.7 million followers.

That pressure could break anyone. Maybe

these inventors aren’t being targeted.

Is it possible they’re cracking under

pressure and seeing conspiracies where

none exist? Is that even possible? I

mean, black helicopters shining their

light in your face five times doesn’t

seem like nothing to me. It definitely

sounds like something. This brings me to

theory number three. Could the

government had played a role in stifling

Julian? So, here’s a verified fact. The

US government has 5,784

patents under secrecy orders as of 2017.

The invention secrecy act allows them to

classify any patent that might threaten

national security, including energy

technologies. What if the real

suppression comes from the government,

not corporations? Julian did mention the

EPA and IRS were after him. All it would

take is for the government to say that

this technology threatens national

security and like that they can shelf it

all. And theory number four, the useful

idiot strategy. What if oil companies

deliberately let frauds like Meyers

operate publicly? Again, this hinders on

if you believe Meyers was a fraud here.

Let’s just play devil’s advocate here

and say Meyers was a fraud, right? Every

fake water car makes real alternative

fuel inventors look crazy by

association. It’s the perfect cover.

Discredit the entire field while you

quietly buy up real technologies through

shell companies. Again, this hinders on

Stanley Meyers being an actual fraud as

they claim. Could it be that someone

from these big companies reached out to

Julian and is talking deals to buy his

technology? If so, they would buy it and

shelf it, right? Then they would debunk

the technology and call it a hoax. And

this brings me to my last and final

theory, the toxic fumes theory. So,

here’s something that nobody’s really

talking about. Brown was melting plastic

in makeshift reactors, often in confined

spaces like his van. Burning plastic

releases incredibly toxic chemicals,

benzene, tooline, styrene, and dozens of

carcinogens. These neurotoxins can cause

paranoia, hallucinations, and severe

mental health issues. What if Brown

wasn’t being hunted at all? What if he

was slowly poisoning himself with his

own invention? Think about it. He worked

alone and from what I can see on his

Instagram, doesn’t appear to be

following any industrial safety

protocols and admitted to sleeping next

to his reactors. The clean fuel he

produced might have burned clean, but

the process of making it filled his

workspace with invisible toxic clouds.

Could it be that those black

helicopters, those mysterious attacks

are just classic signs of chemical

induced psychosis? But what do you guys

think about that one? Let me know in the

comment section. And I know you’re tired

of me saying that, but let me know in

the comment section.

So, what really happened to Julian

Brown? Is he hiding from corporate

hitmen or having a mental health crisis?

Was his technology so revolutionary that

powerful forces made him disappear? or

did a brilliant young man simply crack

under the pressure of fame, isolation,

and dangerous experiments? I personally

think someone got to him and said

something to him, and he’s probably

fearing for his life. But that’s my

opinion. Unfortunately, we don’t have a

lot to go on in this case. But here’s

what we know for sure. Oil companies

have systematically suppressed

alternative energy technologies for

decades. They’ve used patents, lawsuits,

and market manipulation to maintain

their monopoly. They’ve lied about

climate change while planning for it

internally. All that says to me is that

these mega corporations are scummy and I

don’t trust them and I don’t put

anything past them. All I know is that

Julian Brown remains missing from public

view. His mother maintains he is safe

but won’t reveal his location. His

plastic to fuel technology verified by

independent labs sits unused. The world

continues to burn fossil fuels and

somewhere perhaps another inventor is

working alone in a garage about to

change everything or about to disappear.

But all right guys, that’s going to be

it for today. Let me know what you guys

think of this one in the comment

section.
