Summary

A new documentary film about the UFO/UAP mystery debuted this month, with testimony from nearly three dozen scientists and government officials about the need for transparency and honesty. But in spite of the overwhelming and unified message expressed in the film, major media outlets continue to insult, muddle, or ignore the topic, as well as insult the insiders who take it seriously. In this episode of Weaponized, George and Jeremy mention the premiere of "The Age of Disclosure" film in the context of hostile or incomplete media reports, in particular, a scathing Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal which slimed a key witness and whistleblower as a "mental patient," as well as a high-profile report by 60 Minutes which examined a five-year wave of "mystery drone" incursions. While laudable for taking on the drone mystery, 60 Minutes ignored, downplayed, and mischaracterized key evidence, testimony, and images from the most dramatic drone incidents, including the 2019 UAP swarms that buzzed the USS Omaha, USS Russell, and eight other Navy ships. The inference that those drones were launched from a cargo ship named Bass Strait is scurrilous and inaccurate. For decades, media organizations have ignored, ridiculed, attacked, or undermined the sanity and integrity of witnesses, whistleblowers, and legitimate inquiries, including the former UAP Task Force, which has had the effect of stifling and intimidating others from coming forward.

0:31.9	It's ridiculous.
0:33.0	It's like the White House coming out and saying, oh, nothing to see here.
0:35.9	All of these things were FAA approved.
0:37.9	After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey and large numbers
0:42.7	were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons.
0:49.2	We know that to not be true, not only from internal comms that we've seen, but from, you know,
0:54.0	people high up
0:55.0	in these regulatory bodies being like, if it was the FAA, we didn't know. So it's almost fundamentally
1:01.4	ridiculous, but when you get Wall Street Journal and 60 minutes kind of moving over parts of the
1:07.4	topic, especially 60 minutes, inaccurately, then we have a real, Houston, we got a problem.
1:13.4	But ship logs show they were identified as drones, quote, at the time.
1:20.7	Now, hold the fuck up.
1:22.9	Why do you think there's this predisposition to refer to them as drones or call them that?
1:28.1	I mean, based on our understanding, the most reasonable explanation would be some sort of a drone or a
1:34.3	UAB, and then you sort of go to the connotation that's attached with calling them what they actually
1:38.8	are, which is an unidentified flying object to UFO.
1:42.3	Our systems can't seem to detect them.
1:44.6	We can't see them coming in.
