When aviator John Lear died in 2022, he left behind a colorful legacy filled with wild claims about hostile aliens, secret bases, global conspiracies, and government cabals. Lear was more than familiar with the dark secrets and shady dealings of the Black World. He grew up in that environment. As the son of aviation legend Bill Lear, John piloted just about every aircraft of his day, mingled with high-ranking defense officials and aerospace bigshots, flew secret cargo missions for the CIA, and learned first-hand about excessive secrecy and disinformation. Lear became obsessed with the UFO mystery and in the 1980s, emerged as a harsh critic of what he described as a massive coverup operation. As he grew older, Lear's claims became more grandiose. Some of his allegations were far fetched. However, a few turned out to be true. For both George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell, Lear played a pivotal role in their own interest in UFO matters. In this episode, learn about Lear's colorful life, grandiose claims, and his lasting impact on the subject.  Learn more at https://ExtraordinaryBeliefs.com/immaculate-deception  •••  GOT A TIP?

Tens of millions of animals spend their entire live in agony and confinement, mostly because cruelty is built into the business model of huge Agri-Biz corporations. Huge, foreign-owned companies inflict unimaginable suffering on vast numbers of animals. The cruelty inherent in factory farming operations is not only terrible for the animals, but also bad for humans. Citizen groups in multiple states have pushed for laws to provide minimal standards for animal welfare, but now, Big Ag is attempting to undermine democracy by wiping out the positive changes made in recent years. Wayne Pacelle is one of the best known and most successful animal welfare advocates in the world. He co-founded two influential organizations which are fighting on Capital Hill and in state and local governments across the country on behalf of animals who are otherwise powerless. In this episode, Pacelle tells Jeremy and George about the daunting threats to animal welfare and human health by powerful interests for whom cruelty is seen as a shortcut to profits.  Learn more at https://AnimalWellnessAction.org  •••  GOT A TIP?

Veteran intelligence officer and Air Force veteran David Grusch knew there were risks when he decided to blow the whistle on secret - and highly illegal - programs which for decades have hidden evidence of non-human technology recovered from crash sites. Grusch met and interviewed more than 40 people who have seen the evidence first hand. That information has previously been conveyed to Congress in sworn testimony delivered behind closed doors. Grusch had previously been targeted for retribution by higher-ups in the intelligence community, which is why he filed whistleblower complaints with the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, then shared his story with journalists and with a House committee. Last week, insiders provided tips to a reporter about Grusch's previous struggles with PTSD in what appears to be am attempt to besmirch his reputation, but also as a warning to other potential whistleblowers. In this episode, Jeremy and George dig into the sliming of Grusch, why it was done, and what might happen next.  GOT A TIP?

In November 2004, one of the most powerful and sophisticated naval armadas in the world had its maneuvers repeatedly interrupted by unknown intruders. The USS Nimitz carrier group was jam-packed with high-tech sensor systems, but over a period of two weeks those sensors were repeatedly stymied by the appearance and disappearance of unidentified objects in the vicinity of the fleet. CDR David Fravor, the highly esteemed leader of the Navy's best aviators, the Strike Fighter Squadron 41 (also known as the "Black Aces”), was directed to pursue one of the mystery objects. Fravor's encounter with a craft now known as the TIC TAC UFO, might be the most important UAP incident of all time - even though the case was not formally investigated until six years later. When details about the encounter were first exposed to the public in 2017, Fravor's life changed forever. What was learned during the subsequent investigation, and why is Fravor considered by many to be the most credible UFO witness ever? Years before Fravor's story was reported by the New York Times, the veteran aviator shared the details with Jeremy and George. In this episode, WEAPONIZED revisits the TIC TAC UFO case - and the aviator whose close encounter launched a global demand for further disclosures. GOT A TIP?

A congressional National Security subcommittee will hear testimony this week from a trio of highly credible witnesses whose previous statements in recent years about UFO incidents and programs have generated global headlines. UFO diehards are already complaining about the hearing, days before a single syllable of testimony has been delivered. Is this going to be “old news”? Has the world-famous TIC TAC UFO case been debunked? In this episode, Jeremy and George describe why this hearing should be considered historic and take a fresh look at the TIC TAC UFO case as seen through the eyes of a key eyewitness who played an essential role in documenting the dramatic events involving the Nimitz Carrier Group.

Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer shocked his colleagues - and the world - by unveiling proposed legislation that would force the release of long-secret UFO files stashed in the bowels of government agencies. The legislation specifically targets defense contractors and private individuals who might be hiding nonhuman technology, crashed saucers, exotic materials of unknown origin… even alien bodies. Schumer gave a nod to his friend and mentor Sen. Harry Reid, whose support for UAP-related investigations is largely responsible for the dramatic events unfolding right now. British journalist Chris Sharp joins Jeremy and George to discuss the potential impact of Schumer's proposal and the importance of the upcoming public UFO hearing to be conducted by house members days from now. Which witnesses might testify? Check out Chris Sharp’s publication called Liberation Times : https://LiberationTimes.com GOT A TIP?
