Casey DreyerGUEST
21:31
And so we've had this political inversion during that time, right from the 1960s to now, that functionally flipped the control of those, representation of those areas from Democrat to Republican, I should say, to your point.
Casey DreyerGUEST
21:47
And at the same time, the two science centers, so the NASA centers that really do a lot of science, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, technically for For people really paying attention, it's an FFRDC, a federal funded research and development center, not a full NASA center, but we'll call it that one for now.
Casey DreyerGUEST
22:02
And Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
Casey DreyerGUEST
22:04
Those became more democratic.
Joseph JewellGUEST

It was more like 120.
Joseph JewellGUEST
2:33
But we produced, I think, a very good result, visited 30 of approximately – 90 independent research components within the intramural labs as well as UARCs and FFRDCs.
Joseph JewellGUEST
2:47
And the findings were striking.
Joseph JewellGUEST
2:48
I think there's a very differing level of challenges that each lab site faces.

Dana GrishamGUEST
35:44
So I'll try and hit on both of those.
Dana GrishamGUEST
35:46
Kind of to take us back to the earlier comment I made about us being these independent institutions, we contract the government as these federally funded research and development centers, FFRDCs.
Dana GrishamGUEST
35:59
And it's this weird kind of special type of relationship.
Dana GrishamGUEST
36:05
It's not like a typical government acquisition relationship with a really formalized contract.
Ali SteerHOST
23:34
That was a $22 million CMS contract.
Ali SteerHOST
23:38
Um, we've seen MITRE, um, coming out the fold with some, uh, tasks as well with FFRDC.
Ali SteerHOST
23:46
Uh, we've seen-
Brian HebbelGUEST
23:48
That's, that's, that's the easy button.
speaker_15SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
58:22
Do you think that's where it might be, or do you still think the Pentagon is the most...
Eric BurlisonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
58:28
And I think that the CIA and I think that the FFRDCs are where that has the most information and the private contractors.
speaker_15SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
58:39
And you're communicating that with Miller and
Eric BurlisonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
58:40
then came
AdamHOST
61:42
We will be here for a long time.
AdamHOST
61:45
Exactly.
AdamHOST
61:46
So with that said, Burlington talking about FFRDCs and the private sector.
AdamHOST
61:53
I was like, yeah, the system that's been created after World War II and with crash retrievals being fed into the military.
ScottHOST
60:38
But tens of thousands of our best people have not worked on UAP crash retrievals because of the highly restricted access waived unacknowledged special access program compartmentalization.
ScottHOST
60:53
And the fact that only four aerospace defense companies and one FFRDC, federally funded research and development contractor, were involved at various times.
ScottHOST
61:07
The programs did not run continuously due to contract cancellations by the government customer, followed by infrequent periods of limited new funding since the 1980s.
ScottHOST
61:21
That's what's really happened.
ScottHOST
63:10
This is not a Manhattan Project style, all hands on deck, everybody signed secrecy agreements.
ScottHOST
63:16
This is very limited.
ScottHOST
63:18
This is the first time I've seen someone say it was four aerospace contractors and one FFRDC.
ScottHOST
63:26
That's new information.
Deadrick Baker IIHOST
72:49
Now let's fast forward it to modern day conspiracy, you know, the whole, the families and the bloodlines and the bankers that control everything.
Deadrick Baker IIHOST
72:56
If you trace anything, USAID, CIA, government flipping, FFRDCs, UARCs, congressional UFO hearings, you trace it all back to these fucking families every time when these bankers And these are the, these are the beings, these are the people who are in contact with these invisible beings that we're talking about, we talk about that came from the mating of the staff and humans.
Deadrick Baker IIHOST
73:22
And they actually can, you know how they're always trying to fight with each other to trace their lineage back to like The ancient Sumerians and Mesopotamians and the ancient Israelites to say, like, we're the family from the ancient times.
Deadrick Baker IIHOST
73:37
We have the claim to the throne.
Katherine HuffGUEST
50:40
And those-
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
50:41
So Sandia, is it FFRDC?
Katherine HuffGUEST
50:43
Yeah, Sandia National Laboratory, uh, did some experiments.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
50:46
In New Mexico? Aren't they in New Mexico, I think?
Stephen DienerHOST
3:56
So we have the answers on that, but so much more that we get into, and a really, really great reveal from Jordan that I was not expecting here at the end of the conversation about what he and his team at the Disclosure Foundation and it, uh, like an all-star team of volunteers.
Stephen DienerHOST
4:13
Wait until you hear who he's working with behind the scenes, um, to try to get these records out from the federally funded research and development centers, the FFRDCs, as, as they have, uh, become to be known here, uh, one of the, you know, the hot new terms in ufology.
Stephen DienerHOST
4:30
Uh, how they're going after these records and how they might actually be able to attain them.
Stephen DienerHOST
4:35
They found a loophole.

Jordan FlowersGUEST
39:13
Um, and we're gonna try and work on a policy paper, uh, soon to shore up this argument from a, a legal perspective.
Jordan FlowersGUEST
39:24
You know, make sure we have our I's dotted and our T's crossed on this legal read, and then socialize that with partners in Congress, and then see what other potential legal and enforcement actions may be available for production of this information.
Jordan FlowersGUEST
39:39
Um, and you know, and it might not just be FFRDCs.
Jordan FlowersGUEST
39:44
I think, you know, as read in plain language, government funded, it's gonna be a tough one to argue that FFRDCs aren't, aren't involved there.
