Hey guys, you're listening to Unmittangang, I'm your host, Whitney Webb. I'm really happy to be back after a long hiatus. If you follow me on Ropen or subscribe to my email list. You'll be aware of why I was away. If not, I would direct you to those relevant updates if you'd like to know more. I'd been hoping to be back a little sooner, but unfortunately demands were being made that my three and a half

year old daughter be COVID tested in order to continue going to her daycare. So she ended up being

home for most of the last two weeks because I chose not to do that for various reasons.

Of course, in the time since I've been away, a lot has happened. One thing that I've been

eager to discuss for some time has been this

relatively recent steady promotion of a UFO narrative that is being almost exclusively

created and promoted by the CIA, other intelligence agencies, the U.S. military, and

neoconservative figures like Marco Rubio, James Walsy, and others.

I'm once again joined by Robbie Martin of the very heavy agenda and the Media Roots podcast to unpack what these very organizations and figures stand to gain from

promoting this narrative and how it all ties back to old neo-conservative ambitions to

completely militarize space in order to secure American military

hegemony through the 21st century and beyond. So really since last April, the promotion of the

plausibility of UFOs has been steadily growing in the mainstream and becoming almost impossible

not to notice and the lead up to a U.S. government report on these very topics

due out later this month, at least to Congress anyway. Though much hasn't been revealed yet about

the report itself, the window has been open about the role of potentially extraterrestrials or

Russia and China as being behind the UFO phenomena. It's important to point out that the information regarding the

report and those incidents that have been covered by the media and the lead up to its completion

have come almost entirely from either the U.S. intelligence community or the U.S. military.

And of course, followers of my work will know how I feel about that last point. As the last people,

I take at face value

are the U.S. military and U.S. intelligence and that's certainly the case here. So, Robbie, it's always
