Listen "Episode 86: The Black Vault"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I cover the work of John Greenewald JR, known as the Black Vault.
In 1996, John Greenewald, Jr. began researching the secret inner workings of the U.S. Government at the age of fifteen. He targeted such agencies as the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, Air Force, Army, Navy, NSA, DIA, and countless others.
Greenewald utilized the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to gain access to more than two million pages of documents. This archive includes information relating to UFOs, the JFK Assassination, chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, and top-secret aircraft. He took the millions of pages and, over two decades, has built an archive known worldwide as The Black Vault.
Inside The Black Vault: The Government’s UFO Secrets Revealed takes you on a journey within the secret world of unidentified aerial phenomena that has plagued the military since at least the 1940s. Declassified records prove that the UFO topic is one of the most highly classified and elusive subjects the U.S. Government has ever dealt with. Each chapter explores various agencies and their documents, and Greenewald explains why some of the most critical documents are relevant to proving a massive cover-up.
Along with declassified documents, Greenewald outlines his struggle to get them. No other topic has proven difficult in more than 8,000 FOIA requests he has filed. He explores why that might be and meets skeptics, and debunkers head-on, outlining why some of their more prominent rebuttals for it all cannot be true.
