Hey, it's Mr. Ballin here, and I am so excited to tell you all about a brand new podcast from

Ballin Studios called Redacted Declassified Mysteries, and it's hosted by the incredible Luke

Lamanah. From covert government experiments to bizarre assassination attempts, Redacted dives deep

into the astonishing true stories of uncovered secrets, lies, and deception within the world's

most powerful institutions.

Governments and military services around the globe have always cloaked themselves in secrecy.

But history shows that when you try too hard to hide something, it only makes people

more curious.

Luke and his team have spent months researching these totally true and thoroughly twisted tales guaranteed to keep you in the edge of your seat.

Stories like the mind-bending truth behind Operation Paperclip, where former Nazi scientists were smuggled into America to advance U.S. technology and intelligence during the Cold War.

Or the shocking story of Charles Manson and the CIA,

revealing how a notorious cult leader might have been entangled in a web of covert operations.

Trust me when I tell you, the stories are real and the secrets are shocking.

I'm going to play you the first episode of the series.

While you're listening, be sure to follow Redacted Declassified
