Summary

As Congress prepares for an upcoming public hearing, "UFO World" is inherently impatient when it comes to getting straight answers. Those who follow the topic want the full truth and they want it now. For potential witnesses and whistleblowers, however, the risks of testifying to Congress about secret programs and military deceptions are all too real. In this compelling episode, George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell explore the daunting dangers that confront any insider who wants to tell Congress what they know. Attorney and lifelong UFO researcher Richard Beckwith, who has recently released a history of excessive secrecy and how it has affected the search for truth about UAP, explains why any witness who's held a formal security clearance must be very careful about spilling secrets, even to Congress. There are legal risks, but also significant real life consequences, even if the witnesses are never prosecuted for testifying. Also in this episode, aerospace executive and NASA consultant Mike Gold reveals the confusion surrounding recent allegations about an outbreak of "SCIF Flu" among previous congressional witnesses and why closed door briefings to Congress about UAP programs did not materialize.

0:00.0	Employees at Groom Lake, loyal employees who'd spent their whole lives out there, kept secrets, started getting sick.
0:08.2	And loyal Americans to the end, they would say, hey, can you at least tell us what we're exposed to so we can tell our doctors and they can treat us?
0:16.3	They wouldn't.
0:16.8	And the government just simply came back and said, we're not, we can't tell you.
0:21.8	We're applying this mosaic theory.
0:25.1	This could be used by our enemies.
0:27.2	And so we're not going to tell you.
0:28.3	And I mean, basically, they just let, and I think you even probably knew at least one or two of those guys personally and had interviewed them and knew exactly what they were up against.
0:38.4	But again, that is what killed FOIA.
0:42.3	And so while we're all arguing about this and having our congressional hearings, there are insidious human beings in a lab somewhere that may be very close to figuring out these propulsion secrets.
0:54.6	Maybe they already have, and there's a plan already in place.
0:58.8	But it's a battle for disclosure so that these technologies can be released to benefit all of us.
1:08.6	And between those people and the people that want to sequester this to themselves
1:15.1	and dominate the whole planet and enslave all of us, that's really what it's about.
1:19.7	I hate to be so grandiose, but ultimately that's really what it's about.
1:24.5	I always wonder what happens when, you know, let's say if we're a genetic
1:28.4	experiment or if there is something about us that is a product, what happens when the subject
1:33.5	of the experiment becomes aware of the experimenters? Is it time to start over and wipe the slate clean?
1:47.6	This is weaponized.
1:49.0	I'm George Knapp, hunkered down here in the cool confines of my Las Vegas bunker,
1:53.7	joined by my friend and colleague, Jeremy Corbell, hiding in places unknown.
1:57.8	How's it going, Jeremy?
