Video Game Workers Launch Industry-Wide Union with Communications Workers of America
March 19, 2025
Today, in a historic development for video game organizing, workers across the U.S. and Canada are launching United Videogame Workers-CWA Local 9433, a direct-join, industry-wide video game union with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) in partnership with the American Federation of Musicians (AFM).
The launch will be formally announced at the 2025 Game Developer Conference in San Francisco, Calif., the world’s largest industry event for video game professionals, where workers will be joined by other CWA members to launch this powerful new organization.
UVW-CWA builds off of the unprecedented mobilization following the Game Developers Conference in 2018, which served as a launching pad for the creation of Game Workers Unite, an international grassroots organization dedicated to labor organizing the industry.
The launch of UVW-CWA also coincides with the fifth anniversary of CODE-CWA, which has helped over 6,500 tech and video game workers organize to join the union since 2020.
“The creation of this union was not done in isolation; it’s a cumulative effort by the thousands of video game workers who have been fighting for years to redefine what it means to stand together and reclaim power in one of the largest and highest-grossing industries on the globe,” said Tom Smith, CWA’s Senior Director of Organizing.
“These workers are taking a bold stand, joining together to build power for the workers behind the games we all know and love.”
As part of the United Videogame Workers-CWA launch, members will be gathering signatures for a petition demanding dignity and job security for all video game workers, particularly those facing layoffs.
The video game industry is one of the fastest-growing entertainment industries in the world, with huge revenue increases in recent years.
Across the industry, over 10,500 jobs were lost in 2023 and an additional 14,600 jobs were lost in 2024. According to the GDC 2025 State of the Game Industry, more than 10% of surveyed game developers reported being laid off in 2024.
Over 30 studios have laid off their entire staff and were closed by their parent companies, including some of the largest and most profitable corporations like Microsoft and Sony Interactive Entertainment. The full petition can be found here.
“Our mission is to take back our lives, our labor, and our passion from those who treat us like replaceable cogs; to empower our fellow workers; to link up arms with the laid off, with the freelancer, with the disillusioned contractor, with the disenfranchised and the marginalized, with the workers laboring invisibly to keep this industry afloat,” reads UVW-CWA’s mission statement.
“We are going to create a game industry that works for us, one that nourishes its talent and invests in its future, rather than constantly seeking short-term profits.
We are the ones that make the games, so we must be the ones that set the terms of how we work.”
UVW-CWA joins a list of several other historic union campaigns with CWA that have organized within a direct-join organizing model, including United Campus Workers-CWA, Texas State Employees Union-CWA Local 6186, and Alphabet Workers Union-CWA.
Direct-join organizing, sometimes referred to as pre-majority unionism, enables workers – including freelancers and the thousands of video game workers who were laid off in recent years – to build power across the industry without the obstacles and delays that employers can impose during the traditional union certification process., It also makes it easier for workers to address shared concerns beyond just one video game studio.
UVW-CWA will include video game workers across the United States and Canada, as well as video game freelancers, indie developers, workers who are currently unemployed, and workers who are already organizing their workplaces.
“The formation of United Video Game Workers-CWA is an exciting next step in our union’s work to help video game workers build power in their industry,” said CWA President Claude Cummings Jr.
“As video game studios have consolidated, the workers whose creativity, dedication, and skill bring the games to life have become more an afterthought.
They are subject to endless cycles of layoffs and rehiring as corporate executives pursue short-term profits at the expense of a sustainable future.”

Pentagon blames ‘mistake’ for deletion of Navajo Code Talkers pages in DEI scrub, says content will be restored
March 19, 2025
The Pentagon called the removal of Navajo Code Talker content a “mistake,” vowing Tuesday to restore material taken offline during a scrub of DEI content.
The explanation didn’t sit well with Peter MacDonald, 96, one of just two surviving Code Talkers and a former Navajo Nation chairman.
He objected to any implication that celebrating heroes who helped to win World War II equates with “diversity, equity and inclusion.”
“Some of these people who are taking the pictures or stories off their shelves are either racist or they have absolutely no understanding of what DEI stands for,” MacDonald told Cronkite News by phone.
“You’re not only erasing Navajo culture but you’re also eliminating Navajo code.”
Defense Department officials said the mistake occurred as part of the effort to comply with President Donald Trump’s order to end DEI policies and delete all references to DEI.
Axios first reported the deletions on Monday, prompting an uproar.
Axios said it found at least 10 articles that mentioned Code Talkers that had disappeared from Army and Defense Department websites, based on a search of those sites and the Internet Archive.
“This is shameful,” Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Arizona, a Marine combat veteran, posted on X. “Trump can’t erase history just because he feels like it.”
Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot defended the deletions on Monday, telling Axios that as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had said, “DEI is dead at the Defense Department.
… We are pleased by the rapid compliance across the department with the directive removing DEI content from all platforms.”
A day later, the press office called the deletions a “mistake” that would soon be rectified. Through the afternoon, some pages were restored but others remained offline.
Server errors showed up in place of stories about the Marines who helped win World War II by using an unbreakable code in the Diné language to pass messages at Iwo Jima and other battles.
An Army article about their contributions remained offline. So did a Defense Department story about the role Code Talkers played in the U.S. victories in both world wars.
A Nov. 5 story about an Air Force flight instructor whose grandfather served as a Code Talker went back online Tuesday afternoon after returning a “404” error.
“Recognizing the work of the Navajo Code Talkers is profoundly significant to the Navajo Nation,” Navajo President Buu Nygren wrote Tuesday in a letter to Pentagon officials demanding clarification on the removals.
Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Arizona, a former Navy fighter pilot, accused Trump on X of “trying to wash away the accomplishments of the Navajo Code Talkers.”
More than 400 Navajos served as Code Talkers during World War II. The program remained classified until 1968, according to the National Museum of the American Indian.
In 2000, Congress approved Congressional Gold Medals for the original 29 Navajos who developed the code – the nation’s highest civilian award – and silver medals for others who served in the program.
“With the Navajo language they defeated the enemy” is inscribed on the back in the Navajo language.
Records from the Navajo Nation list three surviving Code Talkers, though one of them, John Kinsel, died in October at age 107. The others are MacDonald and Thomas Begay.

Engels Bomber Base Targeted in Biggest Drone Attack on Saratov Region Yet
Mar. 20, 2025, 8:27 am
[UPDATED: Mar. 20, 1:11 pm, Kyiv time. Kyiv Post’s sources within SBU revealed that the attack on the Engels airfield was carried out by drones operated by Ukraine’s SBU and Special Operations Forces.]
[UPDATES] As of 12:30 Kyiv time, Kyiv Post’s sources within the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) revealed that the attack on the Engels airfield was carried out by drones operated by Ukraine’s SBU and Special Operations Forces.
“The SBU and its partners continue to work with surgical accuracy on key military facilities of the Russian Federation, which are absolutely legitimate military targets.
Such special operations reduce the enemy’s ability to terrorize Ukrainian cities with missile strikes,” the source in the SBU told Kyiv Post.
The Russian cities of Saratov and Engels, home to a major military airbase for strategic bombers, were hit by the largest drone attack since Moscow started its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian officials said Wednesday, March 20.
Engels houses Tu-160 and Tu-95MS long-range strategic bombers, which have been involved in strikes on Ukraine. The airfield is situated 614 km from Ukraine’s border.
Saratov regional governor Roman Busargin confirmed the attack on Telegram, saying emergency crews were working nonstop to assess the damage.
Authorities are documenting destruction to civilian areas and preparing a response.
A fire broke out at Engels airfield, forcing evacuations of a nearby rural area, the local governor confirmed.
“For safety reasons, due to a fire at the airfield, residents of the farming co-op are being evacuated. All emergency services are on site,” Busargin wrote on social media.
Secondary detonations could be heard in nearby areas, Astra reported. According to Ukrainian OSINT journalists, the drone strike hit an ammunition depot.
The attack, according to the governor, damaged about 30 homes in Engels, along with a hospital, two kindergartens and a school.
Local media shared images of shattered windows at Engels’ main hospital. Two people were injured, including a woman receiving treatment there.
Ukrainian drones also allegedly hit an oil depot, sparking another blaze. In response to safety concerns, Engels schools switched to remote learning.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said air defenses shot down 132 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 54 in the Saratov region. Flights at Saratov and Samara airports were temporarily restricted, Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency said.

Russia declares state of emergency after Ukrainian drone strike on airfield
20 March 2025
Russia has declared a state of emergency in the Engels district of the Saratov region, approximately 600 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, following a fire caused by a Ukrainian drone strike in the night of 19 March.
This was reported by the Russian state news agency TASS.
Earlier, the governor of the region announced on Telegram that, for safety reasons, residents living near the airfield were being evacuated.
According to Russian Telegram channels, the explosion was felt hundreds of meters away, and a munitions depot may have been hit.
Local authorities describe the incident as the “largest drone attack” on the southern Russian cities of Saratov and Engels since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Russia’s Ministry of Defense stated on Telegram on Thursday that it had destroyed 132 Ukrainian drones that targeted various regions across the country overnight.
Two people were reported injured in the attacks.

Ukraine Uses Drone Boats To Hit Russian Military Targets In Crimea
March 20, 2025
Ukraine has launched a large-scale drone attack on Russian-occupied Crimea, hitting multiple military targets, including radar and air defence system, a helicopter, and a tugboat that Russia seized from Ukraine in 2014.
The attack was reportedly carried out using first-person view (FPV) drones, with analysts suggesting that these drones were likely launched from uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), also known as drone boats.
According to Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence Directorate (GUR), the attack targeted nearly two dozen Russian military sites in Crimea.
The radar and air defence systems hit include Kasta-2E2, Nebo-M, Podlet, Niobium-SV, 9S19 “Ginger”, Sky-SV, Mys, 59H6-E “Protivnik-GE,” and ST-68.
The drones struck an S-300VM surface-to-air missile (SAM) system, an S-300SV SAM launcher, and three Pantsir-S1 SAM systems.
The Fyodor Uryupin universal tug, a Project S4236 transport ship and a Mi-8 Hip helicopter were also targeted. GUR released a three-minute video compilation showing FPV drones hitting the Russian targets.
While Ukraine claims the strikes damaged or destroyed these systems, the video does not show the aftermath, making it difficult to independently verify the extent of the destruction.
One of the notable attacks was on the Fedor Uryupin, a tugboat originally built in 2010 and operated by Ukraine’s state-run oil and gas company Chornomornaftogaz before Russia took control of it during the 2014 annexation of Crimea.
The attack on the vessel was first reported by the partisan group Crimean Wind in December 2024, which stated that the drone hit the Uryupin above the waterline, causing damage but not sinking it.
The newly released video shows the drone closing in on the tugboat before the footage cuts out- typical for FPV drone strike recordings.
Open source analyst Oliver Alexander and other military researchers have assessed that the attacks likely originated from drone boats launching FPV drones.
This theory is based on the distance between Crimea and Ukraine’s front lines, which makes direct FPV drone operations difficult without an intermediate launch platform.
If confirmed, this would be Ukraine’s largest use of FPV drone-launching drone boats to date.
The tactic was first observed in January 2024, when FPV drones launched from uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) attacked two Russian Pantsir-S1 systems and one Osa system in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine’s Kherson region.
Military analysts have stated that FPV drones launched from drone boats offer a major advantage -they extend Ukraine’s attack range and allow strikes on heavily fortified targets that would otherwise require expensive long-range missiles.
The drones are also difficult to intercept, as Russian air defence systems are primarily designed to counter larger aerial threats rather than small, fast-moving drones.
Residents in Crimea reported hearing repeated explosions over several days. Ukrainian officials stated that Russian air defence systems failed to prevent many of the attacks.
GUR described the situation as an “unprecedented rumble” in Crimea, that the Russian military was unable to protect its strategic assets from the well-coordinated drone assault.
The Ukrainian military has increasingly relied on drone warfare to target both military installations and energy infrastructure deep inside Russian-controlled territory.

U.S. Military trains service members to counter growing drone threat
March 20, 2025 4:32am EDT
FORT SILL, Okla. – As drones become an increasing threat on the battlefield, the U.S. Military is training service members to neutralize them before they can strike.
At Fort Sill, service members from across the military are undergoing counter-drone training at the Joint C-sUAS (Counter small Unmanned Aircraft System) University (JCU), also known as "drone university."
The program has become a critical part of the Military's efforts to combat the rapidly growing use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) by adversaries.
"It’s the Army's premier Counter-Small UAS training institution," said Col. Moseph Sauda, the program’s director.
"Our mission is to prepare and train the joint force to counter the threat, to be able to understand that threat, how they operate, and how they attack us…
We can then develop not only tactics, techniques, and procedures, but also the employment methodology that maximizes the capabilities of our existing systems."
The training includes real-life scenarios and advanced weapons to help Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen defend against enemy drone threats.
Service members engage in immersive exercises that simulate real-world drone incursions and hostile UAV threats.
"We can train using simulations across different systems and platforms to provide real, rigorous training — similar to what you would expect in a real-world situation," Sauda said.
"We focus on making sure our service members are exposed to various scenarios that they might face in a contested environment."
Recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have highlighted the growing role of drone warfare, with adversaries using drones for surveillance, reconnaissance, and direct attacks.
The U.S. military is working to stay ahead of these threats by integrating cost-effective training methods, including the use of balloons instead of drones for target practice and 3D-printed drone replicas that allow for repeated use and modifications.
It gives trainees a realistic experience while minimizing costs.
"We're talking about a 91% reduction in what it would cost the U.S. government," said Sauda. "We employ a multitude of capabilities here in order to provide the most realistic training possible…
That means our service members train using simulations across different systems and platforms, giving them the opportunity to engage with threats in real-time environments while also being mindful of the impact of these technologies in combat."
As drone technology continues to evolve, the military is preparing service members to meet the challenge—ensuring they are ready to defend against airborne threats on the battlefield.
"This is not a problem to take lightly," Sauda said. "There’s been a significant investment — from personnel to funding — to make sure we’re addressing this.
It’s not just about technology… It’s about having the right people and the right expertise on the ground to respond."

$15M reward announced for alleged Chinese ringleader, others accused of smuggling US drone technology to Iran
March 19, 2025 3:06pm EDT
The FBI on Wednesday shared a wanted poster for Chinese national Baoxia "Emily" Liu, adding that the State Department is offering a reward of up to $15 million for information on her and others accused of smuggling U.S. drone weapons to Iran.
Liu and three other fellow Chinese nationals were charged by President Joe Biden's Justice Department in January 2024 in an alleged years-long conspiracy in which they unlawfully exported and smuggled U.S. export-controlled items through China and Hong Kong to entities affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL), which supervises production of Tehran's missiles, weapons, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
Her co-defendants are Li Yongxin, also known as "Emma Lee;" Yung Yiu Wa, also known as "Stephen Yung;" and Zhong Yanlai, also known as Sydney Chung.
The Department of State, now under President Donald Trump, said on Wednesday its Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program, which is administered by the Diplomatic Security Service, is offering a reward of up to $15 million "for information leading to the disruption of the financial mechanisms" of the IRGC and its various branches, including the IRGC-Qods Force (IRGC-QF), which are designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).
"The IRGC has financed numerous terrorist attacks and activities globally, including via its external proxies such as Hamas, Hizballah, and Iran-backed militia groups in Iraq," the State Department wrote in its announcement.
"The IRGC funds its terrorist activities — in part — through sales of military equipment, including UAVs, or drones."
Beginning as early as 2007, Liu and her associates "allegedly utilized an array of front companies in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to send dual-use U.S.-origin electronic components to IRGC-linked companies that could be used in the production of UAVs, ballistic missile systems, and other military end uses," the State Department said, noting the IRGC and its supporters "generate and move millions of dollars around the world by establishing and relying on front companies to procure cutting-edge technology to evade sanctions and trade controls."
The announcement comes after Trump ordered U.S. strikes against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen over the weekend, and Israel bombarded Gaza, ending its ceasefire with Iran-backed Hamas after the terror group refused multiple hostage release deals.
Hezbollah, another Iran-backed terror group based in Lebanon, also launched a missile toward Israel, but it was intercepted before entering Israeli airspace, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Trump said he sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei two weeks ago offering direct negotiations with Tehran to deter them from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
The State Department said Liu and her three co-defendants "allegedly misrepresented the end users of dual-use U.S.-origin electronic components, leading U.S. companies to export goods to PRC-based front companies under the guise that the ultimate destination of these products was China rather than Iran."
"As a result, a vast amount of dual-use U.S.-origin products with military capabilities have been exported from the United States to IRGC-linked companies Shiraz Electronics Industries (SEI), Rayan Roshd Afzar, and their affiliates, in violation of U.S. sanctions and export control laws and regulations," the department said.
The IRGC and MODAFL "have utilized the U.S.-controlled technology to develop and manufacture arms and weapons systems, including UAVs, that are sold to governments and groups in allied countries such as Russia, Sudan, and Yemen," it added.

US military vehicles to get Israel’s smart targeting tech to crush drone threats
Updated: Mar 19, 2025 12:35 PM EST
ELTA North America, a prominent player in the defense industry known for its innovative sensor technology, announced that it has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Defense to evaluate its M3S2 (Multi-Mission/Multi-Sensor Suite).
Headquartered in Maryland, ELTA North America is focused on enhancing defense capabilities for both air and ground operations.
According to ELTA, the M3S2 system stands out because it integrates several functions into a single platform.
It is designed to offer simultaneous Active Protection, Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) capabilities, and advanced ground surveillance.
This integrated approach addresses various military needs, particularly as threats on the battlefield become increasingly complex and multifaceted.
Smart targeting tech
According to Joe Adams, CEO of ELTA North America, the evolving nature of threats requires a shift in the defensive strategies employed by modern forces.
“As modern threats evolve, so must our defensive solutions,” he stated. The M3S2 is engineered to provide 360-degree protection for tactical vehicles while combining advanced sensor technology to counter numerous threats.
This development signals a step forward for military operations, reducing the dependence on multiple, standalone systems.
The contract underscores the Pentagon’s intent to fortify battlefield survivability through next-generation technologies.
ELTA North America aims to stay ahead in the competitive landscape of sensor innovation, delivering mission-critical solutions to U.S. military forces and allied partners globally.
The M3S2 is not merely a sensor system but a comprehensive tool to enhance military personnel’s situational awareness and target acquisition.
Designed to fit both tracked and wheeled vehicles, it integrates a range of sensors, including staring radars, muzzle flash detectors, electro-optical sensors, and acoustic sensors, into a unified architecture.
This integration is managed by a central processing unit employing sophisticated algorithms to sift through sensor data, providing operators with reliable real-time target information.
The design of the M3S2 facilitates easy integration with existing weapon systems. It works with a Fire Control System, effectively closing the sensor-to-shooter loop.
To crush drone threats
By efficiently managing target priorities, whether on the ground or in the air, the M3S2 enables military forces to engage threats with accuracy and reduced risk of collateral damage.
One of the notable features of the M3S2 is its wide-area surveillance capability, which allows for the simultaneous detection and tracking of various targets, including drones, personnel, and vehicles, across a broad field of view.
This capability is crucial in modern combat environments where threats can emerge from unexpected directions.
Additionally, the system is equipped to detect gunfire, identifying the sources of fire from light weapons or even more advanced projectile launchers.
This function enhances the military’s response, allowing for quick and precise measures against hostile actions.
The urban battlefield poses challenges, and the M3S2 addresses these through advanced capabilities that detect subtle movements in complex environments—whether behind windows, in narrow streets, or on rooftops.

Sheriff’s office uses drone to rescue 3 deer trapped in icy lake
Mar. 20, 2025 at 8:00 AM PDT
GREEN LAKE COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY/Gray News) - Authorities used a drone to rescue three deer that were trapped in an icy lake.
Green Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded to Big Green Lake after someone reported several deer had fallen through the ice.
“We’ve done a lot of human rescues, looking for people, lost people, search and rescue stuff, accident scene crashes.
Never done one doing a herd deer drive with a drone,” Detective Josh Ward said.
Drone footage shows a doe and her two fawns treading in nearly 40 feet of water, 200 yards out from shore.
The deer tried to get back onto solid ice, grabbing anything they could but headed farther away in the opposite direction.
Ward said because deer are afraid of people, they had to be creative to rescue the deer.
“If we came from the shoreline with a boat, they’re just going to try and get away, and you’re actually doing more harm than good because you’re pushing them further and further away from shore.
We couldn’t come in from the waterside, because that’s obviously all froze over,” Ward said.
Ward used a drone to corral the deer towards them to shore.
“I’m thinking that drone, if I can do it, it’s easy enough that I can just bring it around and do a cattle drive, but for deer and just use the prop wash or the drone to motivate them,” Ward said.
Ward said windy conditions made flying the drone a challenge.
Rescuing the third deer proved to be tricky with the wind shifting the ice on the lake and the deer not having the energy to get over the rocks but thankfully, the deer was rescued.
“We were able to get her up over the top of the rocks, where we then pulled her to dry land, and she laid down for a little bit.
Had to conserve some energy, and then ultimately, just met up with her mother, and off they went,” Ward said.
Deputies were able to rescue all three deer in an hour. Ward called it one of the most creative rescues the sheriff’s office has ever done.

The Majestic-12 Documents [With Ryan S. Wood]
Aug 25, 2024
A conversation and documentary on the Majestic-12 Documents with UFO researcher and Author of "Majic Eyes Only" Ryan S. Wood.
The Majestic-12 is a highly debated, well-known group of alleged scientists and military personnel tasked with UFO recovery, reverse engineering, analysis, and disinformation.
The MJ-12 was brought to light from a series of contested leaked documents discussing the group.
During 1984-1999, over 109 documents containing 3,500 pages were leaked to UFO researchers detailing the shadowy organization and its members.
From Generals such as Nathan Twinning to scientists like Dr. Vannevar Bush and J. Robert Oppenheimer, the MJ-12 has allegedly included some of the 20th century's best and brightest.
Debate has raged on for decades but respected UFO researchers Stanton Friedman and Ryan/Robert Wood have argued for the authenticity of many of the documents and the MJ-12 group due to decades of rigorous study on the documents' context, provenance, discussion, and connective tissue to other MJ-12 Documents and declassified documents.
The MJ12 has long been considered a conspiracy especially after a haphazard and lazy debunk by the FBI.
But are there clues in the Majestic-12 documents that can help us assemble pieces to discover the reality behind the infamous group?
Join Mr. Wood and myself as we discuss over 30 documents and dive into the enigmatic group that is the MJ-12!

KABOOM! The Explosive UFO Story That Changed The World : WEAPONIZED : Episode #68 & #69
Mar 18, 2025
In the eight decades since the modern UFO era began, few dates are as monumentally important as Dec. 16, 2017.
That is when The New York Times published a blockbuster story about a secretive government investigation into alarming and ongoing encounters between U.S. military units and unidentified machines of unknown origin - machines that appear to be far more advanced than any technology known to exist on Earth.
The fact that The New York Times, regarded as "the paper of record" and possibly the most respected news platform in the country, plastered the UFO exposé on the front page of its Dec. 17 edition sent shockwaves through American journalism, grabbed the attention of Congress, and reignited public interest in a subject that had been largely ignored or ridiculed - not only by The Times, but by nearly every major news organization in the Western world.
The ripple effects from that report are still unfolding more than seven years later.
The three journalists who worked on the story - Helene Cooper, Leslie Kean, and Ralph Blumenthal - somehow managed to overcome decades of government disinformation, scientific ridicule, and editorial scorn to get the story into the paper. Blumenthal, a brilliant, award-winning newsman, staked his reputation and career on that one report. How did he and his colleagues pull it off? What other secrets did they uncover that never made it into print?
In a candid and highly personal conversation, Blumenthal reveals to Jeremy and George the difficulties that confronted the three journalists, including blowback from their colleagues, arguments with editors, and the conspiracy theories espoused by the loudest voices in the always rancorous UFO community.
The story about AATIP, Tic Tac, Elizondo, Harry Reid, and other key players was not Blumenthal's entry point to the UFO debate.
He was already investigating the life and career of a brilliant, mercurial, and flawed trailblazer - a Harvard psychiatrist named Dr. John Mack.
Like the late Dr. Mack, Blumenthal suspects that the personal encounters between humans and non-humans, as reported by tens of thousands of people all over the world, might be far more important than the competition between world powers to master the technological secrets stashed deep inside the bowels of black-world programs.
In the second half of an extended interview Jeremy and George are joined by New York Times journalist Ralph Blumenthal, co-author of the game-changing 2017 UFO story.
The trio dive deep into the life of Dr. John Mack, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatrist who dared to take alien abduction seriously - and paid a steep price for it.
The journalists unpack Mack’s desperate fight to preserve his tenure during a secret Harvard 'inquisition' in the 1990s, his courageous expedition to the African town of Ruwa, Zimbabwe, to investigate the astonishing 1994 close encounter witnessed by 60 schoolchildren, and his provocative theories linking UFO incidents to paranormal experiences.
Blumenthal pulls back the curtain on a man who saw a universe far stranger than we’re told, from abductions to crop circles and beyond.
But the story doesn’t end with Mack. Blumenthal shares insider perspectives on the modern UFO frontier - why whistleblowers still fear coming forward, and the uphill battle for full disclosure in a skeptical world.
This episode is a call to arms for independent journalism to uncover what’s really out there, revealing the challenges of reporting the unreportable and the relentless pursuit of the unknown.
