“In my 30­ year history in the Drug Enforcement Administration and related agencies, the major targets of my investigations almost invariably turned out to be working for the CIA.” — Dennis Dayle, former chief of an elite DEA enforcement unit. Over 100,000 lives continue to be lost to overdose each year in the US. The War on Drugs is a racket designed to fund covert, black budget US operations and inflate the budgets of law enforcement agencies and the incarceration industry. While the War on Drugs targeted every day people, this war protected the activities of the rich and powerful: military-intelligence interests within the US government, big banks, Big Pharma, and drug cartels. In this 15-min video, we present the most reliable and relevant information on this issue, including promising solutions and remedies to the War on Drugs. Welcome to our Mindful News Brief series where we discuss the news with nuance, uncensored investigation, and compassion for all sides. And no matter the topic, we always end our news briefs on an inspiring, constructive note. It may be tempting to blame the US government as a whole for these crimes. However, most people in government are largely unaware of these crimes against humanity that we document. In fact, most people in our government wouldn’t allow such atrocities to occur. Yet entrenched bureaucracy and secrecy oaths provide cover for unaccountable national security and intelligence interests. We define the Deep State as a vast network of government and corporate powers who advance their own agenda regardless of who is elected into office. They operate with little oversight and regulation. Rather than functioning as a unified group of elites seeking world domination, the interests of different factions of the Deep State often collide and compete with each other. However, what these factions have in common is immensely profiting from war and human suffering, like the unelected officials in this video who have played a massive role in policies and national security objectives. The Deep State is not the Blue or Red party, but the Money party that corrupts both sides of the political aisle.

Let’s work together across our political and cultural differences to end the corrupt war on drugs and repair our broken communities. Disturbing information like this can paradoxically remind us of the greater good. It is the courage of the people and the love for the common good that bring these injustices to light—fueling uncensored dialogue and constructive action.

Welcome aboard the WantToKnow.info Speculation Station! The first stop: UFO/UAP Technology! WTK team members Amber Yang and Mark Bailey discuss the most relevant and intriguing parts of current discussion about UFO/UAP technology. It’s important that the mainstream media is further normalizing UFO discussion. Yet still to this day, government narratives claim that no secret ET programs have existed. In this 33-min video, we look at specific UFO technologies that have allegedly been recovered from crashes to how these other-worldly technologies might have helped accelerate the development of some human technologies. We also explore the long-standing history of UFO secrecy and cover-ups that have prevented any real, holistic understanding of this issue. Factions within the government and defense contractor industry likely possess significant and possibly revolutionary UFO knowledge. 00:01:18 What’s at the heart of the matter for us? Why is this topic important? 00:03:48 Recovered ET technologies alleged to warp time and space 00:07:50 Colonel Philip Corso of the Foreign Technology program within the US army, and his purported role in exploiting ET technologies recovered from the infamous 1947 Roswell Crash 00:12:08 Did ET tech help accelerate the development of bulletproof vests? 00:14:18 ET Headbands, brain-computer interfaces and military neurowarfare 00:18:30 Investigating the ET spacecraft allegedly recovered from the Roswell Crash 00:20:04 Top secret reverse-engineering programs, MJ-12, and the Deep State 00:23:18 Why ET technologies are kept secret, even from most presidents and US gov officials 00:26:48 What would a healthy and responsible disclosure of ET tech look like?

Check out his awesome Substack here: https://freemindgazette.substack.com/ WHY SPECULATION STATION? We live in a time when trust in journalism is low, and the mainstream media rarely tells us the full story. Going deeper, the future of humanity seems deeply uncertain. Yet Albert Einstein once said, “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” Opening to new ways of seeing the world’s problems can be a powerful remedy to the sense of overwhelm, burnout, and cynicism that many of us feel. I once heard that the opposite of love isn’t hate—it’s being right and certain about our position. What would it be like if we suspend certainty? The world is vast, mysterious, and complex. There’s so much we don’t know, and we need each other to create a more free, informed, and caring society. That’s why we launched Speculation Station. Healthy speculation and credible inquiry into society’s most controversial issues allows us to think creatively and openly about real possibilities. It invites diversity of thought, bringing people together across differences to think holistically and unconventionally about the complex challenges we face. And it fosters healthy skepticism of authority, and the status quo norms shaping media and society. Yet most importantly, healthy speculation has fun. Since when did controversial issues have to be so boring and serious? Growth lies outside of our comfort zone. Let’s open our hearts and minds!

Welcome to our Mindful News Brief series where we discuss the news with nuance, uncensored investigation, and compassion for all sides. And no matter the topic, we always end our news briefs on an inspiring, constructive note. Let's work together for the greater good. When you look deeper into the COVID origin story, you’ll find a growing movement of scientists, top government officials, Congress members, journalists and whistleblowers who are drawing a straight line from the COVID pandemic to risky lab studies on coronaviruses, which began long before the pandemic. In this video, we’ll break down the scientific jargon and reveal the most important and relevant parts of this complex issue. We also discuss the meaningful and ongoing investigation into whether COVID was engineered for military purposes. Whether this is true or not, we explore EcoHealth Alliance’s intriguing ties to the US military-intelligence complex. Lastly, we talk about moving beyond censorship and simplistic official narratives in order to rebuild democracy in the face of media polarization. 00:00:49: US-funded Gain of Function Research on Bat Coronaviruses 00:04:30 Lab Escapes Aren’t So Uncommon 00:06:49: Was COVID Engineered for Military Purposes? 00:09:56: History of US Biological Warfare 00:12:18: Moving beyond censorship and simplistic official narratives The likely possibility that COVID escaped from a lab could be one of the most important inquiries of this century. Along the way, the government has covered up evidence that the US NGO EcoHealth Alliance was conducting risky bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and University of North Carolina with funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Answers keep us apart, and questions bring us together. Was COVID accidentally leaked due to unsafe laboratory practices, or was it released intentionally (or accidentally) as a biological weapon? Was it engineered in the US or in China or by a collaboration? What would a real government investigation look like, instead of the HHS dragging their feet to produce documents on COVID origins? We were told to trust the science, yet leaders in science and medicine are saying science is being suppressed by significant conflicts of interests and misconduct plaguing these industries. While he told the world that attacking him is attacking science, he lied to Congress about his role in funding risky gain of function research on bat coronaviruses. What does this say about our public health leaders? People were injured and harmed in all types of ways as a result of the pandemic, from economic devastation, social isolation, vaccine injuries, long covid, and countless deaths. Who’s liable? A democratic culture can be defined as one that invites open dialogue of different views, and promotes transparency. Most importantly, a democratic culture builds trust. Yet we live in a time where trust in American media and public institutions are at an all-time low. Making sense of this distrust requires that we understand the political agendas and government corruption that covertly shape our lives. Hardwired for connection, we might find that open inquiry together about crucial societal issues is a necessity for democracy and collective survival.

Welcome to our Mindful News Brief series where we discuss highlights from our weekly newsletter with nuance, uncensored investigation, and compassion for all sides. And no matter the topic, we always end our news briefs on an inspiring, constructive note. Let's work together for the greater good. "The U.S. government has become the middleman in a large scale, multibillion-dollar child trafficking operation that is run by bad actors seeking to profit off of the lives of children." — testimony of Health and Human Services whistleblower Tara Lee Rodas The partisan culture wars in the media drown out any meaningful discussion of the real and current threats to children safety, human rights, privacy, and local governments when discussing the border and immigration crisis. Through broken border policies, government agencies have become a child trafficking and exploitation service. These difficult considerations can bring us together across our political differences to ask a few core questions: • What would real media coverage on this issue look like beyond identity politics and partisan polarization? • What would real government protection and oversight look like when it comes to vetting the caregivers and sponsors responsible for unaccompanied children? • Given the shocking child sex trafficking scandals within high levels of government, is it possible that powerful people are somehow benefitting from this situation? • What would a real humanitarian, compassionate approach look like to the border and immigration crisis? Disturbing information like this can paradoxically remind us of the greater good. It is the courage of the people and the love for the common good that bring these injustices to light—fueling uncensored dialogue and constructive action.
