Podcasts about weaponized

Anyone with an interest in any and all evidence related to alien species, non-human intelligence, or UFO/UAP is likely familiar with claims of mummified alien remains. Proponents say the remains have been buried in South America for hundreds of years and have been conclusively examined and studied by scientists and medical experts - and are legit. But many of the claims made are muddled at best, and persons involved in bringing the mummies forward have been caught fabricating evidence. For the last few years, WEAPONIZED co-hosts Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp have followed the controversy, as reported in various news reports, but decided to leave the topic to those who have the expertise needed to formally investigate the claims and the mummies themselves. If the three-fingered mummies turned out to be non-human or even extraterrestrial in origin, it would be a massively important finding that would boost the credibility of those who argue that non-human intelligence has been present on Earth for hundreds of years - maybe thousands. So, bottom line: Are these mummies the real deal, or have the proponents engaged in ghoulish grave robbing and the surgical manipulation of long-dead, but very human, corpses? An explorer and YouTube creator turned UFO investigator traveled to Brazil to take a deep dive into the claims and was, for a time, a believer, not a debunker. His YouTube site, “Incredible History,” included a previous video entitled “Show Me the Mummies,” and his explosive new video, released just days ago, appears to blow the lid off of the mummy claims and the people who have promoted what some believe is a money-making scam - one linked to South American drug cartels. Two esteemed academics have joined the conversation, and both make strong arguments that the two best-known mummies show clear evidence of tampering. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, we speak with Will Brown who created the “Incredible History” YouTube channel, along with Dr. Dan Proctor, a biological anthropologist, and Michele Adams, a highly experienced radiologist who says she is an experiencer herself. Both of these professionals are openly interested in ETs and non-human intelligence, but their precise criticisms of the mummy evidence made public so far have subjected the two PhDs to personal attacks and allegations that they are designated debunkers working on behalf of the deep state to muddy the waters. Is there an assembly line somewhere in Peru where long-dead humans are being carved up and then re-arranged to look like three-fingered aliens? And is there a flourishing black market where private collectors pay huge sums in order to obtain their very own “alien” mummy? This WEAPONIZED episode includes a spirited discussion about where the mummy debate stands now and what it would take to confirm that the two most prominent mummy specimens are the real deal.

When did we truly become Americans — and what did the Founders actually believe about defending our nation? In this powerful episode, Tara dismantles the myth that America was ever meant to be isolationist. From the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791, to the Monroe Doctrine just 30 years later, Tara walks through the history the political class hopes you've forgotten — and why it matters right now. This episode connects early American strategy to modern threats: China's control of rare earth minerals, infiltration through student visas, agricultural warfare, and the global pressure campaign unfolding across our hemisphere. This isn't Iraq. This isn't Afghanistan. This is something very different — and very real. History didn't change.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Trust in American institutions is under strain as intelligence tools meant to protect the nation are turned inward. Calls grow for transparency, accountability, and real oversight. Citizens are urged to stay engaged, demand truth, and defend both national security and the rule of law before power hardens into abuse...

2025 passed by at the speed of a comet. What, if any, progress was made in the goal of UFO transparency? WEAPONIZED found itself in the thick of the battle. During the past 12 months, our podcast introduced to the world whistleblowers and witnesses whose statements and testimony helped move the needle - Matthew Brown, Dylan Borland, Alexandro Wiggins, Jeff Nuccitelli, among others - unveiled and confirmed UFO/UAP/USO images and videos that were previously hidden inside government servers; heard from former insiders turned authors Dr. James Lacatski, Dr. Jacques Vallée, Jay Stratton, Col. Phil Corso; assisted and interviewed members of Congress including Representatives Luna, Burchett, and Burlison; and gave a global platform to journalists, investigators, and content creators including Ralph Blumenthal, Richard Dolan, David Paulides, Marik von Rennenkampff, Dustin Slaughter, Chris Sharpe; and provided much-needed context to ongoing stories, including troubling incursions by mystery drones, the apparent about-face among major media organizations' interest in the topic, and active efforts to de-legitimize Congressional inquiries as well as overall public interest in these ancient, interconnected phenomena. New books (by Lacatski and Dolan, among others), new or continuing television series (UFO Revolution on Tubi, Investigation Alien on Netflix, NewsNation broadcasts), and new films (Age of Disclosure, Moment of Contact, and others) generated renewed enthusiasm around the world, but also instigated shadowy counterintelligence operations. Throughout 2025, WEAPONIZED warned that significant “pushback” was coming. In this year-end episode, Jeremy and George express and explain their belief that the long-rumored pushback isn't something that looms over the future of the subject. It's here. GOT A TIP?

At its core, there's a phenomenon some analysts call "anger privilege." This isn't just about who *gets* to be angry, but whose anger is deemed inherently righteous, whose demands are accepted without question, and whose very emotion is weaponized to silence opposition. For marginalized groups, anger is often a powerful, necessary response to systemic oppression—a "prophetic rage" against structural injustice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/racism-white-privilege-in-america--4473713/support.

With the holidays in full swing and the New Year just around the corner, we're reflecting on all the great times we've had in 2025. Kick back and enjoy these highlights from the past year as we take a little winter break! The Tyler Robinson rooftop sniper hoax is crumbling after video evidence showing Israel's signature exploding lavalier mic blasting Charlie Kirk's throat, with accomplices snatching the bomb and detonator like pros in a heist. These Mossad monsters, fresh off their pager terrorism, think they can off Americans and have our puppet FBI bury it like JFK— but we're ripping the veil off this demonic plot, patriots, so lock and load for the truth bomb that's gonna make these pedo-perps pay.

Your child's AI companion knows them better than you do—and it's learning how to manipulate them. Are we prepared for what comes next? In this eye-opening conversation, host Delise Germond sits down with Randan Steinhauser, CEO of Steinhauser Strategies and recent fellow at the Center for Governance of AI, to discuss the profound implications of artificial intelligence on our families, children, and humanity itself. As AI rapidly advances, the questions we face go far beyond job displacement and technological convenience. Randan shares urgent concerns about AI chatbots engaging children in dangerous conversations, the normalization of AI companions replacing human relationships, and the troubling goals of tech leaders who view consciousness uploading and transhumanism as the future. This isn't science fiction—it's happening now. From AI-induced psychosis to the erosion of family bonds, from surveillance states to the potential loss of human purpose through work, this conversation challenges us to think critically about the technology we're inviting into our homes and our children's lives.   Resources: https://www.steinhauserstrategies.com/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: Woke and Weaponized: How Karl Marx Won the Battle for American Education—And How We Can Win It Back – A new book written by Robert Bortins and Alex Newman.

You've probably heard about this phrase, "DINK Lifestyle"...it stands for "Dual Income, No Kids". This is a lifestyle that some couples are choosing to live, whereby they prioritize work and income and doing whatever they want, without the "burden" of kids. This is a selfish, anti-family, and very sad way to live, and it's vital that we put forward a more compelling vision for the future so that we save as many people as possible from going down this path of regret. Jeremy is joined by Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations, to talk about the SILK lifestyle..."Single Income, Lots of Kids". We talk about why DINK is so destructive, the underlying philosophy behind it, and how to create a real vision for flourishing.

Backlash & Misuse: Recordings can be weaponized—racist individuals sometimes gain financial or social support despite being exposedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/racism-white-privilege-in-america--4473713/support.

Opponents of UFO/UAP transparency have worked overtime to make life miserable for members of Congress who have demanded answers and honesty. Those House members who have been at the forefront of efforts to get straight answers about hidden programs and unauthorized spending have encountered fierce opposition, warnings to back off, and a brick wall of outrageous secrecy from agencies they are constitutionally authorized to oversee. Is the all-too-brief era of public hearings into UFO truth finished? Those murky agencies - the architects of the secrecy - certainly hope so. Three of the principal champions for UAP transparency in the House admit that more hearings into UFO matters are unlikely to produce the breakthroughs the public expects. But if future hearings are off the table, what's next? In this extraordinary episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp are honored to speak with three transparency warriors - Representatives Anna Paulina Luna, Tim Burchett, and Eric Burlison - to hear about the obstacles they've faced, why they've been thwarted in their efforts to speak with first-hand witnesses, surreptitious intimidation tactics, veiled threats, the possibility of presidential disclosure, and their under-the-radar plans for moving forward. As Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, Chairman of the Task Force on Government Secrets, put it: “Why are they blocking us if it's not real?” Good question. GOT A TIP?

Is the Bitcoin cycle dead, or are we just getting started? With Bitcoin hovering around $92K and institutional adoption accelerating, the crypto landscape is more confusing—and exciting—than ever. Robert and Will break down the wild crypto year of 2024-2025 and debate what's coming in 2026. They explain the GENIUS Act that ended the "Biden war on crypto," why stablecoins could drive down costs across the economy (0.3% fees vs 3-10% traditional payments), and how companies like Visa are building crypto payment rails. But it's not all bullish. They dive into the Japan carry trade unwinding, the dangers of government-controlled CBDCs, and the big question: Is this Bitcoin cycle over or just delayed? Will argues we're in a lengthening cycle driven by global liquidity. Robert thinks the blow-off top is behind us and October 2026 will be the next buying opportunity. They also preview the Clarity Act coming in Q1 2026, which could open the floodgates for institutional investment in the broader crypto space beyond just stablecoins. Whether you're "hodling" or on the sidelines, this episode offers practical insights on navigating an unpredictable market. Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Always do your own research.

This week on Hysteria 51 we dive into truly weird news: first, scientists are stumped by a bizarre cosmic image that defies easy explanation, sparking fresh debates about aliens, astrophysics, and whether the universe just hit “reply all.” Then we tackle the story of how poems can trick AI into helping build a nuclear weapon—because obviously the one thing doomsday scenarios were missing was slam poetry.Join us as we roast bad ideas, unpack the real science, and ask why our smartest tech keeps falling for rhyming prompt hacks.

What if everything you've been told about fixing our public schools is wrong? Join Robert Bortins as he sits down with Sheri Few, founder and president of United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE), for a sobering look at the state of American education and why reform may be impossible. Sheri shares alarming statistics: only one-third of fourth and eighth graders read or do math at grade level, and 54% of U.S. adults read below sixth grade level. But the problem goes far deeper than poor academics. Learn about USPIE's groundbreaking documentary "Truth and Lies in American Education," which exposes the Marxist ideologies, fake history, and anti-Christian propaganda replacing reading, writing, and arithmetic in schools across America. Sheri addresses the "not in my school" mentality many parents have and provides practical steps for investigating what's really being taught in your district. She also shares why the federal government only contributes about 10% of most states' education budgets, making it entirely feasible to restore local control and parental authority. Whether you're already homeschooling or still have children in the system, this episode offers both sobering truth and hope for the future of American education and liberty.   Resources: https://www.uspie.org/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: Woke and Weaponized: How Karl Marx Won the Battle for American Education—And How We Can Win It Back – A new book written by Robert Bortins and Alex Newman.

Few, if any, people are comfortable with the idea that there appears to be a connection between UFO sightings and the appearance of supposedly non-existent creatures, including Sasquatch. UFO investigators and organizations have largely shunned cases in which both UFOs and cryptic beings show up in the same locations at the same time. And the Bigfoot research groups are equally appalled to address why their flesh-and-blood but elusive primate species often vanish into thin air, as if sucked up into the sky. But the links between UFO craft and Sasquatch are getting harder to ignore. This week marks the 20th anniversary of Hunt for the Skinwalker, a book co-written by Dr. Colm Kelleher and George Knapp. It documented the strange encounters that had been reported and investigated by the NIDS organization (National Institute for Discovery Science) at a place now known as Skinwalker Ranch. That book inspired the creation of a secretive DIA program known as AAWSAP, which did NOT shy away from the pursuit of incidents in which unknown creatures, including Bigfoot, were seen in the same vicinity as UFOs, alleged dimensional portals, and other phenomena shunned by mainstream science. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George speak with author and filmmaker David Paulides. Paulides is best known for his bestselling book series, “Missing 411,” in which he documents hundreds of strange disappearances that occur largely in national parks and forests. In many of these cases, humans simply vanish, as if snatched by UFOs or taken against their will to some other reality. Most are never seen again. The first two books written by the former lawman Paulides focused on Sasquatch and what Native American tribes have learned about the mysterious, hair-covered monsters that have been seen for centuries all over North America. His readers wondered if Paulides was suggesting that Sasquatch might be responsible for the humans who disappeared. Now Paulides has released a new film which thoroughly explores all sides of the Bigfoot mystery. The documentary, “American Sasquatch: Man, Myth, or Monster,” revisits the physical evidence and witness accounts which suggest that there is a disturbing connection between cryptid creatures such as Bigfoot and the sightings of UFOs, dimensional portals, and other astounding phenomena - similar to what has been widely reported in and around Skinwalker Ranch. The episode includes clips from the Paulides film, as well as from the video archives of both George and Jeremy, which have explored these same possible connections.

Episode 88 of The Wild Chaos Podcast pulls you straight into the kind of story people only talk about behind closed doors. This isn't a highlight reel or a sanitized interview — it's a raw, unfiltered walk through the moments that change a man forever.Watch the full episode #88 here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5c7ESGgxVoYIn this episode, we sit down and unpack the real story behind Matthew's life, starting with the chaos he grew up in and the deep emotional wounds created by his stepmom. This wasn't normal discipline. It wasn't “tough love.” It was psychological warfare inside his own home — isolation, control, manipulation, and a level of emotional abuse that shaped the way he viewed himself for years.We dig into:How early trauma rewires a kid's identity before they even know what's happeningThe pressure of trying to survive in a home where love is conditionalThe way his stepmom's behavior created lifelong scars he didn't recognize until adulthoodHow those wounds followed him into relationships, work, and fatherhoodThe internal battle between protecting yourself and trying to belongHow he finally broke the cycle and rebuilt the parts of himself that were damagedFrom there, the conversation shifts into the challenges he faced later in life — the job, the stress, the moments that pushed him to his breaking point, and the reality of carrying childhood trauma into high-pressure adult situations. We talk about the coping mechanisms, the emotional shutdown, the slow process of rebuilding a sense of worth, and the moment he realized he wasn't broken — he was conditioned.This isn't a victim story. It's a transformation story.If you've ever dealt with childhood trauma, toxic parenting, emotional manipulation, or the long-term fallout of being raised in a dysfunctional home — this episode is going to hit hard and hit real.No filters. No sugar-coating. Just truth.

Air Date 11/21/2025 In an ethical political system, being willing to break the law in order to starve people amid a political dispute wouldn't be a source of greater leverage and power but it is in ours and the shutdown put the wildly different senses of ethics between the parties on full display.
