WEAPONIZED with Jeremy Corbell & George Knapp

Jeremy Corbell hits the road to Las Vegas to reconnect with George Knapp and dive into the UFO projects that have been quietly brewing behind the scenes. The Weaponized team also took the opportunity to support rock star Dave Navarro, who made his triumphant return to the stage with Jane’s Addiction after years of battling long COVID. Though Navarro has always been intrigued by UFOs, he often approaches the topic with a healthy dose of skepticism. As the scorching Las Vegas summer heat blazed on, it marked a significant anniversary in the team’s ongoing quest for UFO truth. Thirty years ago this summer, a TV crew journeyed to the UK to investigate the mysterious crop circles that seemingly materialize overnight in grain fields. During this trip, they had a memorable encounter with a Ministry of Defense official - who would later become a prominent figure in UFO discussions - adding yet another intriguing layer to their search for answers. ••• Watch the three-part UFO docuseries titled UFO REVOLUTION on TUBI here : https://tubitv.com/series/300002259 ••• GOT A TIP?

One year ago this week, members of Congress held an extraordinary public hearing in which credible witnesses testified about an enormous UFO coverup by the military and intelligence communities. The statements of David Grusch, David Fravor, and Ryan Graves made headlines around the world and members of Congress vowed to continue their inquiry. In the months since then, the Keepers of the Secrets have pushed back. An error-riddled report from AARO attempted to discourage Congress and the media from pursuing UFO truth. And the former director of AARO has claimed that nearly all UFO cases are now considered to be explained, and that so-called UFO whistleblowers are simply misinformed. In this episode, Jeremy and George are joined by former DoD analyst turned journalist Marik Von Rennenkampf who just recorded an illuminating interview with former AARO boss Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, who shared his thoughts about famous UFO cases and renewed efforts by Congress to force the release of UFO files and evidence. ••• Marik von Rennenkampff served as an analyst with the State Department’s Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation.

WEAPONIZED is supposed be on hiatus, but recent bursts of gaseous emissions from the folks at AARO have made it difficult to lounge by the pool and sip frozen concoctions. The recent release of documents related to a proposed UAP-related program within Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was hardly a gesture toward transparency by AARO. In this unscheduled, unexpected episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George review the true history of the proposed Kona Blue program, what it could have accomplished, and how AARO's former boss has blatantly misled the public about whistleblower testimony allegedly related to Kona Blue. And what about those continuing drone incursions over sensitive U.S. military air space, the whitewashing of a UFO incident under investigation by members of Congress, and other assorted tidbits? It's a surprise episode inspired by Don Corleone. ••• See Dustin’s UAP REGISTER article here : https://uapregister.substack.com/p/uap-incursion-at-pantex-nuclear-facility and follow Dustin on X here : https://x.com/DustinSlaughter ••• Watch the three-part UFO docuseries titled UFO REVOLUTION on TUBI here : https://tubitv.com/series/300002259 ••• GOT A TIP?

In the Season Finale of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George look back at some of the key moments from the past thirteen months, including exclusive interviews with major insiders from government UFO investigations (Jay Stratton, Dr. James Lacatski, Dr. Colm Kelleher), disclosure proponents and journalists (Rep. Tim Burchett, Richard Dolan, Ross Coulthart, Bryce Zabel, UFO Joe Murgia), incredibly talented writers and artists (Robbie Williams, Dave Foley, Ben Schneider, Duncan Trussell, Whitley Strieber, John Long) and other surprises including leaked videos obtained from government files. In a fortuitous twist, the Pentagon's long-awaited report from AARO about the history of US investigations of UFOs was released just in time for our last episode. It turned out to be a perfectly predictable propagandized rewriting of history, punctuated by sloppy errors, blatant falsehoods, and the dismissal of testimony from dozens of witnesses. •••  Watch the three-part UFO docuseries titled UFO REVOLUTION on TUBI here : https://tubitv.com/series/300002259  •••  GOT A TIP?

This week, WEAPONIZED traveled to Washington D.C. to gain a sense of where the fight for UFO transparency stands at the moment. Debunkers, including former agency big-shots and social media nincompoops are scrambling to dissuade Congress from pursuing evidence about crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs. No further UFO hearings are on the schedule on Capitol Hill, but key members of Congress are confident such hearings will happen. In this episode, Jeremy and George share information gleaned from confidential meetings with members of Congress, key congressional staff members, and first hand witnesses who expressed concerns about where the topic might be heading.  •••  Watch the three-part UFO docuseries titled UFO REVOLUTION on TUBI here : https://tubitv.com/series/300002259  Watch the video analysis by HERE SUDDENLY on YouTube of the Antioquia Colombia UAP video here : https://youtu.be/V4MzC2Rb6PU  •••  GOT A TIP?

As long predicted, the closer the public gets to the truth about UFOs, the harder the pushback will become. That day has finally arrived. Since the beginning of 2024, the keepers of UFO secrets within government, along with their allies in defense corporations, and subservient toadies on various media platforms have unleashed a torrent of devious, ill-informed, sometimes laughable attacks on truth, facts, members of Congress, curious scientists, diligent journalists, and the public itself. Former AARO Director Sean Kirkpatrick led the charge with a blistering denouncement of the program he directed and the members of Congress who created it. Dr. Kirkpatrick spent "a whole year" investigating UFOs but found "no evidence.” His demonstrably false allegations were quickly magnified in a seemingly coordinated series of articles written by like-minded friendly reporters. At the same time, a cabal of hard-core debunkers, masquerading as skeptics, had been outed for its secret takeover of all Wikipedia content regarding UFOs and prominent people who have investigated the subject. And on various social media platforms, where civil discourse is a rarity, a cohort of the usual suspects have participated in unleashing personal attacks that are vile, even by their own low standards. So, what's going on? Is all of this unfolding at the same time purely by coincidence? In this episode, Jeremy and George review some of the more glaring examples of the new era of pushback against UFO truth and give shout outs to some of the unsung heroes who are fighting hard to push back against the onslaught of propaganda.  Plus, don't miss a special segment featuring Bob Lazar, who sheds light on the intriguing anatomy of a flying saucer. Join us as we navigate through the stormy skies of disinformation to seek the elusive truth about UFOs.  •••  Watch the three-part UFO docuseries titled UFO REVOLUTION on TUBI here : https://tubitv.com/series/300002259  •••  GOT A TIP?

Ernest Cline is the visionary best-selling author of Ready Player One, Ready Player Two, Armada, and the upcoming Bridge to Bat City, as well as the co-screenwriter of the blockbuster movie Ready Player One directed by Steven Spielberg, and co-founder of Readyverse Studios.  Cline is a brilliant novelist and screenwriter whose books have earned worldwide acclaim and a legion of devoted fans around the world. Cline's first visionary bestseller Ready Player One was eerily accurate prediction of where AI and virtual reality tech are taking us. Cline worked with legendary director Steven Spielberg in creating a mega-hit movie based on the novel.  Cline's deep research into UFO history and extraterrestrial scenarios culminated in a second best selling novel about an alien invasion, which has also been optioned for a future film. A sequel, Ready Player Two, topped bestseller lists in 2023 and is in development to become a film.  In this bonus episode of Weaponized, George and Jeremy travel to Austin Texas to visit their pal and to tour his astonishing collection of iconic pop culture collectibles, movie memorabilia, and a vast library UFO and sci-fi books, films, and collectibles. Ernie also revealed his soon to be released next book, based on a true story from his home town. It's a fun peek into the life of one of America's best writers, sort of an episode of "UFO Cribs”.
