The Journal\u2019s first article was loaded with false claims, recycled debunkery, and distortions lifted straight from the Pentagon\u2019s denial playbook. When those lies were challenged by military veterans, whistleblowers, and researchers &#8211; with facts and receipts &#8211; the Journal didn\u2019t correct a single word. Instead, they doubled down with a second piece, this time personally targeting and attempting to discredit the scientists, intelligence officers, and investigators who have devoted their lives to exploring the truth.<\/p>\n<p>At the very heart of the UFO mystery is the long, well documented connection between the unknown craft and nuclear technology, in particular, nuclear weapons. It is likely the most serious, and most unnerving aspect of the larger UFO mystery. The Journal attempted to haughtily dismiss 80 years of alarming and dangerous intrusions into highly restricted airspaces with a single, demonstrably false, one-size-fits-all explanation.<\/p>\n<p>We confront the lies head-on, with the help of legendary researcher Robert Hastings &#8211; author of UFOs and Nukes &#8211; who brings over 150 direct government witnesses, testifying UFO interference with U.S. nuclear arsenals, and who was recently contacted by the FBI over the seriousness of his findings. Also joining the fight is Marik von Rennenkampff, former DoD analyst and opinion writer for The Hill, who exposes the WSJ\u2019s reporting in a meticulous, point by point dismantling of a what appears to be a preposterous effort to reverse engineer the history of UFO intrusions of US nuclear missile installations, a ham-fisted propaganda campaign that mirrors similar efforts emanating from AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) a failed program with even less credibility than its long ago predecessor Project Blue Book.<\/p>\n<p>This episode isn\u2019t just a rebuttal &#8211; it\u2019s a warning. The Wall Street Journal chose a side, and it wasn\u2019t the truth.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"530\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1xApIOjVgvU?si=cRuwVHuHHPzTI5tq\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b><font color=\"bright orange\">YouTube link:<\/font> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1xApIOjVgvU?si=exPqY_wVe79UVMCV\" ><u>https:\/\/youtu.be\/1xApIOjVgvU?si=exPqY_wVe79UVMCV<\/u><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smearing the Brave &#8211; The WSJ\u2019s War on UFO Truth: WEAPONIZED : Episode #80<\/p>\n<p>In this no-holds-barred episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp dismantle one of the most brazen propaganda efforts in recent memory &#8211; The Wall Street Journal\u2019s &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,17],"tags":[11289],"class_list":["post-241733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ufo","category-ufo-news","tag-ufo-disclosure"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=241733"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241733\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":241735,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241733\/revisions\/241735"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=241733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=241733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=241733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
