Podcasts about USS Theodore Roosevelt

Admiral James Stavridis examines resource evaluation using David Farragut's victory at Mobile Bay as a model of combined arms and technological adaptation. Farragut successfully managed the transition from wooden sailing ships to ironclad steam vessels. In contrast, Captain Lloyd Bucher of the USS Pueblo faced a tragic lack of resources when captured by North Koreans in 1968. Without support, Bucher made the controversial but rational decision to surrender to save his crew. Finally, Captain Brett Crozier of the USS Theodore Roosevelt is highlighted for prioritizing his people during the COVID-19 pandemic, illustrating that moral leadership sometimes carries harsh career consequences.

So much of what is happening these days seems utterly nonsensical, from Trump’s war crime and profanity-laced Easter rant, to the whipsaw on Iran. So, is it simply Occam’s razor, or is there more going on here than we’re led to believe? Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. — President Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom: A Call for the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People (1913) The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson — and I am not wholly excepting the Administration of W. W. The country is going through a repetition of Jackson’s fight with the Bank of the United States — only on a far bigger and broader basis. — President Franklin D. Roosevelt, letter to Col. Edward Mandell House (21 November 1933); as quoted in F.D.R.: His Personal Letters, 1928-1945, edited by Elliott Roosevelt (New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1950), pg. 373 I would suggest nothing we’re seeing, including (especially) the seemingly nonsensical, is ‘accidental’ or coincidental. It is PSYOP/PSWAR, a potent toxic mixture of POSIWID and chaos theory designed and intended to rapidly produce maximum chaos resulting in a ‘Clash of Civilizations‘ and The End of History and the Last Man, to ultimately bring about a ‘Novus Ordo Seclorum’1234 a la Genesis 11 → Genesis 6 → culminating in Psalm 2 → Revelation 19.

Headlines [x] = Mentioned / Discussed Trump: “A Whole Civilization with Die Tonight” If President Trump carries out his threat to kill the entire civilization of Iran, he will join the ranks of Cato the Elder, Genghis Khan, Cortez, and other villains in history who chose the policy of destroying an entire civilization. Needless to say, this is not what Washington, Madison, Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin had in mind when they founded the US Constitutional Republic. Members of the US government—as well as We the People—should think about the reflections of multiple Roman authors who regarded the total annihilation of Carthage as an outrage and repudiation of Rome's republican values and virtues. In the Aeneid, Virgil frames the Punic Wars as a fateful conflict initiated by the Punic Queen Dido’s curse on Aeneas’s descendants. I interpret this as Virgil's way of condemning the “unspeakable” destruction of Carthage. The American people should be aware of the fact that if our US government does indeed annihilate the Iranian nation forever, it will certainly have a vast array of terrible consequences for us and for all of mankind. Among other disasters, it is likely that millions of Iranians will be forced to flee to other lands, including those of Europe. Many young men who see their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters suffer will be animated with a burning desire for revenge. I anticipate great horrors ahead for all of us.

RESOURCE EVALUATION: FROM IRONCLADS TO PANDEMICS Colleague Admiral James Stavridis. Stavridis examines how leaders evaluate resources under pressure. He cites David Farragut at Mobile Bay, who successfully combined Army and Navy assets and adapted to new ironclad technology while ordering "full speed ahead" through mines. In contrast, he defends Commander Lloyd Bucher of the USS Pueblo, who surrendered his spy ship because he had "no resources" to resist and chose to save his crew from suicide. Finally, he praises Captain Brett Crozierfor prioritizing his crew's safety during the COVID-19 outbreak on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, accepting the career cost of leaking a plea for help.

Continuing our coverage of the Tic Tac UFO incident, due to the recent bold claims by Ross Coulthart that have sparked major controversy in the UFO community, we bring you another interview from the archives where we spoke with several witnesses of both the Tic Tac and the Gimbal incidents. Gary Voorhis and Jason Turner describe the dramatic string of events that would ultimately lead to fighter jets being scrambled to intercept the mysterious, oblong-shaped object we've seen in the official Navy video released by the Department of Defense. Then, Matthew Roberts discusses the atmosphere on the USS Theodore Roosevelt when the other two DoD-released videos were filmed and how it was handled in real-time. More importantly, we discuss the impact these events have had on these men during and after, and how it has ultimately led to all three of them continuing to search for answers both in the skies, and from within. My special thanks to Gary Voorhis, Jason Turner, and Matthew Roberts for their service and for their time and insights in this panel discussion.

In 2015, Matthew Roberts was a US Naval service member stationed onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. The events that transpired during their 2015 workup cycle brought us the first-ever declassified footage of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP)and the New York Times article titled: “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program.” Subsequently, he transferred to the Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington D.C. where he began to have frequent, and often intense, personal experiences with the phenomenon.He discovered through a long, painful, and terrifying journey that the truth of the phenomenon has deep and profound implications for the future of the human race. It may seem like a bold statement but the ultimate universal truth that underlies the phenomenon is captured in the simple yet eloquent words of Mark Twain, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P9MSQYD https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP

Special Edition Part B: An in-studio interview, with Ryan Graves, former Lt. US Navy and F/A-18F pilot, to discuss the recent drone sightings, and UFO phenomena. Ryan shares his firsthand accounts, including his squadron's experience witnessing the “Gimbal” — the first UAP video declassified by the Department of Defense. This extraordinary sighting took place aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt off the coast of Jacksonville, FL, in 2015. We also explore recent reports of drone sightings and their connection to the ongoing investigation of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). Are these drones part of advanced technology, or do they point to something even more mysterious?SHOW NOTESBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

In this conversation, Matthew Roberts shares his experiences as a former Navy cryptologist, detailing his involvement with the infamous gimbal UFO event. He discusses his decision to leave the Navy to speak freely about his experiences, the intense atmosphere aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt during the gimbal event, and the impact of witnessing the footage.  Matthew also reflects on the paranoia he felt following the event and provides insights into the military's handling of UFO information and the flow of intelligence within the Navy. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of UFO encounters, the importance of witness accounts, and the personal impact of public disclosure on their identities. They explore the philosophical implications of government secrecy and the quest for knowledge, leading to a journey into hermetic philosophy and the search for deeper truths. In this segment of the conversation, Matthew Roberts shares his journey of searching for connection within the UFO community, his serendipitous encounter that led him to discover MUFON, and the series of coincidences that unfolded one fateful night. He describes a terrifying experience that challenged his understanding of reality and the analytical mindset he held. The discussion delves into the high strangeness of his gas station encounter, the struggle between rationality and the unexplained, and ultimately, his embrace of the unknown as he navigates deeper experiences with the phenomenon. Matthew also shares his profound experiences with UAPs and the psychological implications of these encounters. He reflects on his childhood, where strange occurrences shaped his understanding of reality, and discusses the tension between rationality and the high strangeness of his experiences.

Matthew Roberts, a former US Naval service member. Back in 2015, Matthew was stationed aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, where a series of extraordinary events during their workup cycle led to the declassification of astonishing UAP footage. You may recall it from the New York Times article titled "Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program." But that's just the beginning of Matthew's remarkable story. Following his time on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, he transferred to the Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington D.C., where his personal experiences with the UAP phenomenon became frequent and intense. His journey to uncover the truth behind this enigma was long, painful, and often terrifying. In this special episode of UAP STUDIES PODCAST, we explore the profound implications of the UAP phenomenon for the future of humanity. As Mark Twain once said, "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why." Discover the ultimate universal truth that underlies this phenomenon and its potential impact on the destiny of our species.

This episode of Fanachu originally aired on Facebook on April 8, 2020 just a few weeks into the first COVID-19 lockdown on Guam. In that time of crisis, the divisions on island between civilian and military or federal and territorial relations became increasingly apparent, whether in terms of restrictions on commissary privileges for locals, the quarantining of the USS Theodore Roosevelt on Guam after a coronavirus outbreak happened onboard and overall the lack of transparency from the US Department of Defense. All of these issues can help us better understand Guam's current and continuing colonial political status. This episode featured as guests representatives from the group I Hagan Famalao'an Guåhan: Victoria-Lola Leon Guerrero, Rosario Perez and Heather Garrido.

This show is unlike any of my previous episodes in that I get to talk to a Navy senior officer who paid the ultimate price for speaking up when he felt lives were at stake. You may remember his story playing out in the news two years ago. As Theodore Roosevelt's Commanding Officer during the onslaught of the Covid epidemic, he made a plea in the form of an email and four-page letter to help his 5,000 Sailors. The virus was rapidly spreading and information at that time indicated at least 10 deaths could happen. As a result of his leaked email to senior military leaders urgently requesting hotel rooms to safely social distance while the carrier was pierside in Guam, he was fired, and two years later retired from his 30-year career. His book Surf When You Can discusses the unique stories and heartfelt lessons learned gathered throughout a career spanning three decades and several continents. Brett Crozier grew up in California, graduated from the United States Naval Academy, and embarked on a thirty-year career in the Navy, flying dozens of combat missions over Iraq and leading at the highest levels of operational command. He was the commanding officer of a combat F/A-18 strike fighter squadron, the world's largest and most advanced communications ship, and ultimately the USS Theodore Roosevelt before retiring from the Navy in 2022. https://surfwhenyoucan.com/Visit my website: https://thehello.llc/THERESACARPENTERRead my writings on my blog: https://www.theresatapestries.com/Listen to other episodes on my podcast: https://storiesofservice.buzzsprout.com
