in our OmniWars symposium, The Capture of Academia, is by David Hughes, who's coming to us from the United Kingdom.
Debbie LermanHOST
0:13
And his presentation is entitled Academia and the National Security State.
Debbie LermanHOST
0:19
In this presentation, David provides a deeply researched and detailed historical review of how, over the decades since World War II, the military and intelligence agencies in the United States took over the research and scientific agendas of academia.
Debbie LermanHOST
0:41
It's a fascinating and important topic that you won't hear covered in any other place and certainly not in the depth and detail that David provides.

academia and the national security state.
David A. HughesGUEST
2:32
In this presentation, I trace a century of corruption of U.S. academia from its reliance on Wall Street and foundation funding through the militarization of scientific research during and after World War II, the academy's deep embeddedness in the U.S. national security state that emerged in the late 1940s up to the present day.
Christopher KnowlesGUEST
2:41
But no, so the Secret Mystic Handbook is going to be out in April and it's going to be, you know, it's not going to be a tome.
Christopher KnowlesGUEST
2:49
The tome is coming in November because I'm writing a book called, um, XF Ultra, uh, The X-Files, Conspiracy Culture, and the National Security State.
Christopher KnowlesGUEST
2:59
And what that book is going to be about is it's just going to talk about you know, conspiracy culture and how it sort of culminated in the X-Files and then what happened afterwards.
Christopher KnowlesGUEST
3:11
So it's going to be an X-Files book for people who, you know, aren't fans of the X-Files.
Danny SheehanGUEST
27:01
But then I was contacted by Dr. John Mack at Harvard Medical School years later and asked to become legal counsel for him.
Danny SheehanGUEST
27:11
at Harvard when the United States military had adopted this protocol, a secret protocol, which has now been made public through Richard Dolan in his two-volume work called UFOs in the National Security State.
Danny SheehanGUEST
27:28
He, through the Freedom of Information Act lawsuits, extracted from the government the documents that showed that there was a program operational that required any military officer who had had any kind of encounter with a UFO, if they insisted upon reporting it officially, that the first thing they had to do was go get a psychiatric exam.
Danny SheehanGUEST
27:51
It was kind of designed to be the ultimate deterrent to them actually filing the report.

Danny SheehanGUEST

But the executive branch is refusing to give it to them.
Danny SheehanGUEST
45:37
So, it's a constitutional crisis, which is basically a subset.
Danny SheehanGUEST
45:42
The whole UFO disclosure crisis is a subset of the national security state crisis, of the whole national security state having been set up at the end of World War II through the National Security Act of 1947.
Danny SheehanGUEST
45:56
And they've basically tried to take over the United States government.
John SipherGUEST
52:55
But, but the point is, is, like, the fact that someone in that status could be that misunderstanding of, of how people work in the government, I think the American people don't understand, and previous administrations haven't.
John SipherGUEST
53:05
You know, the Americans have, you know, something really special in the, in the civil service and in the f- in the national security state, but they don't understand it.
John SipherGUEST
53:14
So if they think, "Oh, yeah, get rid of it, it'll be fine," I, eh, I think they're gonna find out that's not so good.
Michael FeinbergHOST
53:20
All right.
Robin DreekeHOST
35:22
And you get out in front of someone so they find you, so they take the initiative, and so they create the relationship with you because you knew where they're going to be without following them.
Robin DreekeHOST
35:30
And what happened was is if someone was being – the type of person who decided they didn't want to have a conversation, they're doing really abhorrent things against National Security of the United States and our allies and all those things, is you would do this.
Robin DreekeHOST
35:44
You'd actually put them on tight surveillance.
Robin DreekeHOST
35:46
You'd lock them down because it created a lot of stress, anxiety, and it changed behaviors in people.
Jeremi SuriGUEST

And Truman
Martin DeCaroHOST
22:41
created the national security state, too, after at first he did not want to.
Martin DeCaroHOST

Congress has been a complete disgrace, but that is a long story.
Martin DeCaroHOST
25:55
Trump is building off problems decades in the making.
Martin DeCaroHOST
25:58
So about Truman in 1945, the creation of the national security state, something else here is really important for a structural analysis.
Martin DeCaroHOST
