The gloves are off. In this no-holds-barred episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George dismantle one of the most brazen propaganda efforts in recent memory - The Wall Street Journal’s calculated hit piece on the UFO issue and the brave individuals exposing it. What was pitched as serious journalism quickly revealed itself as an orchestrated campaign of disinformation, one which seems to have been designed and dictated by one man - a bitter, thin-skinned scientist who seems to have despised the topic he was assigned to investigate but is incapable of cutting the cord.  The Journal’s first article was loaded with false claims, recycled debunkery, and distortions lifted straight from the Pentagon’s denial playbook. When those lies were challenged by military veterans, whistleblowers, and researchers - with facts and receipts - the Journal didn’t correct a single word. Instead, they doubled down with a second piece, this time personally targeting and attempting to discredit the scientists, intelligence officers, and investigators who have devoted their lives to exploring the truth. At the very heart of the UFO mystery is the long, well documented connection between the unknown craft and nuclear technology, in particular, nuclear weapons. It is likely the most serious, and most unnerving aspect of the larger UFO mystery. The Journal attempted to haughtily dismiss 80 years of alarming and dangerous intrusions into highly restricted airspaces with a single, demonstrably false, one-size-fits-all explanation. We confront the lies head-on, with the help of legendary researcher Robert Hastings - author of UFOs and Nukes - who brings over 150 direct government witnesses, testifying UFO interference with U.S. nuclear arsenals, and who was recently contacted by the FBI over the seriousness of his findings. Also joining the fight is Marik von Rennenkampff, former DoD analyst and opinion writer for The Hill, who exposes the WSJ’s reporting in a meticulous, point by point dismantling of a what appears to be a preposterous effort to reverse engineer the history of UFO intrusions of US nuclear missile installations, a ham-fisted propaganda campaign that mirrors similar efforts emanating from AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) a failed program with even less credibility than its long ago predecessor Project Blue Book. This episode isn’t just a rebuttal - it’s a warning. The Wall Street Journal chose a side, and it wasn’t the truth. GOT A TIP?
