The Why Files - The Dark Side of DARPA

16:43 Horse manure. War Games was a fascicle take on the time that I broke in to NASA and the Pentagon computers, before most people knew that computers even existed. The computers shared the same line of communication as voice, which I had learned that the telephone network switches also used. All you had to do to hack their computers, was key switch off of the dial tone, then start clicking in alpha-numeric digits. The computer would respond with slow enough audible clicks to decode it manually.. which I did. Once I figured out how to do that, I could navigate the computers and ask them for any information I wanted, and get responses. In time the computers got faster, and we needed little black decoder boxes to interpret the clicks. Not long after that, modulator/demodulator units were invented, and things really got fast. Of course, once things went digital, and we learned to transmit images, we learned how utterly inadequate the technology was to the task. The internet speed race is still on. My intent was to discover how to build my own rocket. Soon enough, I ran in to walls in the menus that wouldn't let me in, so I called NASA to ask them why those menu's were blocking me from getting access. Apparently they were on a different system, but even more concerning, for them, was how I got in to their system. In the interest of national security, I explained everything to them, the pentagon, and eventually warned the phone companies that they were hackable. THAT is when the TCP/IP stack was born, and that was when they started developing security measures for the internet. Before that point, there were none. They assumed nobody was listening. The parity bit was invented at that time as well, because when they speeded up the transmission speeds, it became easier for the system to miss a click. The entire communication turned into a garbled mess if it was one tick off. I know, I was there. As a reward, my school in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere in rural Iowa got their very own teletype machine, which the students were allowed to use for skills training. I spent countless hours on that machine. Looking back, I wonder if they expected me to try to hack the new system? I never did, I was too busy mastering the game that let me answer math problems as fast as humanly possible. :) Anyway, the story became legend, and eventually they made it in to the movie you see today. Originally, the computer was supposed to blow up the world, due to being tampered with. (No doubt to convince young, impressionable children not to hack the government.) When asked, I pointed out that that was illogical. A computer built on pure logic would conclude nobody could win a nuclear war, so the entire concept was faulty. Curious what BBS systems you hung out on, AJ? I wasn't impressed with any of them, until just before Compuserve became popular, there was one called SDR&R that was pretty versatile. I understand that there were more versatile BBS systems earlier, but being from a rural area, I couldn't get easy access to any of them. 17:46 10 billion instructions a second?? NOOOOT!! Those computers were medieval compared to todays. Think Commodore PET Computer, 8088 processor. You'd need a 10,000 CPU computer to get up to 10 billion instructions per second at that point. The fastest supercomputer in the world at that point was the Cray-1. It operated at 138 million instructions per second, and weighed 11,000 pounds. That was bleeding edge technology. Cray spent nearly a decade trying to "turbocharge" the supercomputer, without burning it out, and eventually got it up to around 240 million instructions per second. Any DARPA computer that existed could not have been more than an extension of that. 10 billion instructions a second would have taken a warehouse sized computer, and I have it on good faith knowledge that the computers I hacked in to were the size of a semi-truck. Two existed, one at the Pentagon and one at Magic Mountain. 4 years after the movie came out, I joined the US Air Force, Strategic Air Command as a Computer/Communications Systems Technician. I had a security clearance higher than the PotUS, and I can guaranty you that the computers the military was using were relative crap. They were all using Sperry and Burroughs mainframes, which the world at large knew nothing about, and they were just implementing the IBM mainframes. The world's fastest computers were used to plot out weather patterns, and didn't have much use in that era. I can tell you.. well, no I can't, I'm not sure if that use scenario has been declassified yet.. Let's just say that military specific supercomputers, if they existed, had extremely specific tasks for which their formidable power was bent to. At any rate, given weight restrictions, the computer delivered to magic mountain couldn't have weighed more than a few Cray Supercomputers, and therefor would have had a hard limit of not more than around 1 billion instructions per second. 17:53 False again. NOTHING on Earth approached the computing power of the human brain. The first experiments in wetware computing devices stalled out in the early 1990's, until I emailed the university working on it about how to use the technology that they had to construct computing circuits. Within one week, the news releases disappeared, and technology went underground. DARPA, zero doubt. At any rate, at the time, I pointed out that the effort wasn't really worth TOO much effort, because any electrical computing will be severely limited by the speed of electricity. Light based technology would be orders of magnitude more powerful. This of course gave birth to the fiber optic technology that we know today. Doubtless DARPA had the technology by the year Y2K. It wouldn't take more than a clever engineer to convert the modem technology of the era to use light. I'm not sure if they ever did figure out a way to create a light based computing device. I think they got as far as complex crystals used in modern lasers, and left off at that. I've heard that they're trying to work on the wetware technology again, in some misguided attempt to increase the computing power of modern AI. This is of course utterly redundant, since modern AI is nothing more than a flowchart set of instructions. It's clever, but utterly incapable of original thought. Making it be clever faster is not really going to yield much result, in the end. I have my suspicions about next level technology that they could be experimenting with. I'd almost bet on it, but in the interest of national security, I don't want to say more. :) 18:21 Actual AI did not exist in any useful fashion until modems became popular. You see, many people had interesting concepts about the logic flow to make a computing algorithm that could learn. However, the technology didn't exist to implement it until we had the IO capabilities of the business computers of the late 1970's. Even then, it was utterly useless, because you needed masses of people to have access to the algorithm to be able to train it to do anything. That's why the medium sharing required modem speeds, to send "high speed" data back and forth to train the AI. At that point, it was discovered that most of the models were deeply flawed, and were either untrainable, or only trainable to a certain extent. Eliza was the very first generation of AI that was trainable to a conversational level, and she took TONS of training just to get to that level. I only ever saw two implementations that reached a conversational level. Modern AI is a completely different model. Worse. Eliza type AI was extremely difficult to train up to be conversational, but it WAS actually intelligent, and could make its own decisions. Modern AI uses a simple flow charts of answers to compartmentalize communication and fake intelligent conversation. It's a glorified flow chart, and utterly incapable of independent thought or creation. Honestly, if they ever want to create sentient AI, their train is on the wrong train tracks. As I said above, they can make it do clever faster, but they can't make it think. 18:30 No, the voice recognition technology was worked on when the modern modems came out. previous generations of computers couldn't digitize voice fast enough to make the resulting digital data clear enough for a computing device to process the phonetics successfully. I actually received some of the worlds first experimental high speed modems, and they had special ports on the back so that the universities and I could import voice directly into them. Then we coded them to digitize the analog voice samples fast enough to create digital data streams which were clear enough phonetically for computing devices to interpret. I was at ground zero when we first got technology to work, and at that time, computers simply couldn't perform the work fast enough. It wasn't until a couple of generations of computers went by that they caught up. If I recall, the commodore Amiga with it's magical tri-processor unit was the first computing device capable of voice recognition, independently. Of course, we knew back during our experiments that the REAL challenge wasn't understanding A single human voice. It would be getting the ability to interpret MANY different human voices, because it was nearly instantly clear that the digitized phonetics of peoples voices varied greatly. That technology is actually where the concept of the voice fingerprint came from. If you recall that concept being used in sci-fi movies, that's precisely when we discovered that fact, and it became a popular concept. Doubtless DARPA took that tech and turned it in to a fine art, but it simply didn't exist until computing devices were capable of doing it. We wrote the first algorithms to successfully interpret the voices that were digitized at the correct speed to be able to do so. I promise, the tech didn't exist before we digitized those first phonetic keys. DARPA and other universities certainly TRIED to create voice recognition, but it didn't work reliably until we discovered that phonetics were variably from one human to the next, even if their voices sounded nearly identical. Before that, they used analog voice (tape technology) to compare vocalizations (words). However, when we discovered that older computing devices didn't have the speed to interpret the data fast enough, it was doing so with great fault. When we explained that it was like building a medieval padlock, while everyone had keys with enough teeth to hack the padlock easily.. they tested our theory about similar sounding voices being able to crack their technology, then pulled the tech globally. This is when the cypher locks became popular, as that was the best commercially viable tech to fill the gap. Afterwards it was discovered that the cypher lock could be brute force hacked, and they eventually came up with the key card system. The key card system is of course, variable enough to be difficult to hack without being able to duplicate specific key cards, so it's still in use today. 19:02 Don't worry about it AJ, I'm on every list they have. If they haven't taken me out yet, they won't take you out. Don't be afraid to ask, of course. As I I'm sure you've read below, I have an in depth knowledge of cryptozoology and scientific phenomenon, but tech is my thing. I'm a tech guru. :) 22:20 Yeah.. I got bad news. The governemnt has been tracking citizens since digital phone switch circuits were invented. Every phone call, every pager text, every instant message, every email... Why do you suppose nobody has encrypted email routing information, ever? ;) I would also bet that at any point in time, DARPA has the computing power to brute force crack any encryption algithm that gets released for general public use. Take a simple formula of the most complex encryption algorythm available, multiply that by the number of permutations, and divide it out to be able to crack the password in a few minutes. Whatever number that is, that's likely DARPA's minimum level of functionality. As in.. they likely have personal computing devices that can do that. 24:16 No they didn't. I explained to them how to use my bubble sort routine to be able to sort massive amounts of data faster than web crawlers could catalog it individually. That's when they started using multiple web crawlers to feed databases. Their next issue? computing power with massive communications lines for public access. The answer I gave them.. gather up dozens of last generation computers firt cheap, and use whatever idiotic networking solution Microsoft offers to contect them together, because they all allow you to share and update a database across them. Yes, I told Google how to create the world's first web spider database engine. That bubble sort routine and it's newer iterations though.. those are public domain, so nobody can ever patent the technology. It's existed since I gave it to Lotus 1,2,3 and Microsoft to make their spreadsheets not suck, but Google were the first ones to use it for next generation computing. Also, to be honest, you ought to have mentioned AOL and Yahoo. They both had rather distinct massive web crawler databases, which used user interst to map out useful results. The Google algorhythms only became necessary when the internet got too big for indivicual web crawlers to keep up with. Bizarly, Yahoo stole Google's technology to create their business database, but eventually abandoned it, and just copied Google's web cataloging technology when everybody else did. I think everybody just assumed that Google's technology was patented, even though it was public domain. Of course, eventually Google became corrupted by governement influence, and we needed a newer generation of search technology to get honest results. That's another story, though. :) 24:41 You're glorifying the Google tech. If you recall, for search queries that weren't very popular, The good links were always down on page 2 or 3. That was by design. Google's first layer of technology used what I described above, to catalog the entire internet in a massive network database. Then they replicated the AOL/Yahoo technology of tracking which search results users found useful. At THAT point Google seemed magical. Then they introduced their page rank system, and started paginating results (page 1, 2, 3) THEN they started selling ads and rank priority, and moved the true top results to the second page, then when people figured that out, they moved them to the third page. For the LONGEST time, the good results for popular searches weren't even on the first page of resutls. This is when most people abandoned Google for honest results. Of course, at some point, they hooked up with the CIA and DARPA type organizations to try to hide and stear people (and fingerprint them) with stacked search results, then they moved that technology to Facebook to REALLY influence the way people thought. Then they just said the hell with it, and moved the mass lies to the mass media. 25:50 I just want to mention again, horse-feathers. Those two never would have gotten off the ground without my help. I'm not proud that they became corrupt, but at least they fleshed out the next tier of internet search technology.. even if they proved it wouldn't stay viable, once tainted. 100% We need DARPA on that wall. We also need to fight the corruption within our government on the home front. The land of the free and the home of the brave will not be a beacon of hope for the world, if it can not shine. Also, F%$# Monsanto / Bayer. Dow isn't much better, but they're not rebranding Agent Orange as RoundUp (glyphosate).

I have your back, recommend your show to many people, and will keep doing so. I respectfully disagree with any conclusion that calls for DARPA, or any similar oligarchy, to exist. Upon request, I'll defend my assertion if you reply to this comment. Likewise but less important, if you want annotated observations about some of the details included in this script I'll send those as well. Regardless, your podcast and YouTube channels are two of the only remaining sources of information heard, seen, or read by more than 100,000 people that, so far as I can tell, aren't compromised and/or corrupted by the people who run DARPA.

Wow, this one hit me hard. My father is a Vietnam vet, a Navy Seebee who was stationed in Da Nang. He currently has metastatic prostate cancer that has spread to his bones even though he had his prostate removed a couple decades ago. He is now 80 years old. When he first applied for disability with the VA they gave him 10%. Then upon my encouragement he asked for reconsideration once he had a relapse of his cancer and developed diabetes mellitus. Finally he received 100% and retired from working at the age of 75. He lives with pain every day. My husband who served 20 years in the Air Force recently developed diabetes with no history of diabetes in his family. He has to take 3 medications to control it. I encouraged him to also apply for disability because he served many deployments in the Middle East. 10 years after retirement from the AF he received 60% disability rating because of TERA. (Toxic Exposure Risk Activity) the government says yeah you were probably exposed to bad stuff while serving your country. Thank you for courageously doing this episode for those of us that live with the consequences of government experiments every day.

I have to agree with you Jason. Me and my three-year-old watch every episode. This one and plum island plus a few others really struck a chord within me. Thats why I signed up. I'm not a veteran and I probably wouldn't call myself a conspiracy theorist, but I have worked in various high-level organisations. The funny thing with science is we always ask if we could rather than asking if we should. A project like this takes time, money, resources and a commitment of the highest order. Keep up the great work AJ and team and keep asking questions.....something we as a society probably don't do enough of.

You ain't gonna get demonetized for reporting unclassified information and criticizing the US military industrial complex. Criticize the Chinese Communist Party, the Saudis, or Israel... that'll get you demonetized.

I'm confused Vietnam was 50+ years ago. Surely, all the toxic effects have been studied now and treatments can be established. I know the US doesn't have a healthcare system, but I thought ex-military got automatic free care. I didn't realise they had to apply for it. This is bad

This episode particularly impacted me in the feels. My father served in Viet Nam. My husband is a veteran as are all of my uncles and so many people we know. Some are no longer with us, after debilitating illnesses. I represent hundreds of veterans in my practice (I'm an attorney) and I help a lot of people with VA disability claims (as well as other types of civil litigation). Every day, I am talking to people who were exposed to toxic substances on the job as service members, doing my best to at least get them rated so they can get medical care. Even with the PACT Act, so many people are denied or spend years and years waiting. I'm blessed that the owner of my Firm allowed me to take on these cases, because his own family was impacted by the long-term effect of toxic exposures. I deeply appreciate the Why Files team taking such risks by publicly exposing history and facts.

My father suffers from cancer and his kidneys bladder, and it is a known fact that it’s from his time in Vietnam being exposed to agent orange as well. I share your anger at the governments recklessness. DARPA is a double edged sword indeed. Keep up the good work AJ and crew.

I've had my own experiences and you really brought it to light for the rest of the world. Great episode to you and your team. I sincerely liked this one the most. Thank you for what you do.

2024-06-29 13:32:34 +0000 UTC

Boy, where do I start. Your response is a muddied, emotional, new-agey self-contradictory hot mess. #-'When you say DARPA is un-American, I have to disagree. Looking at our history, and all of the things we have done, it is quite clearly very-American.' Our history (if you're even American), has been fine, except since we started getting pulled into these contrived World Wars, and became the preeminent power. Once that happened the country was gone. This is the point I made in my initial post, where I stated that the powers that emerged during and since WWII have effectively destroyed America. America isn't the problem, big business, big government, big banking and small cadre of people who think they were chosen to rule the world. When I say un-American I mean against our principle. You have a problem with checks and balances on power? with Congressional oversight? with the American people knowing what their tax dollars are paying for? That's what's un-American. You just chose to misinterpret so you could shit on the country. Because now we're all supposed to hate America. Right. Sorry, w/o American the world would be a much, much worse place, as you even imply with your admission that we need DARPA to defend against other countries. You're all over the place. #-'It is only going to get worse, with AI taking over the Internet' Right, so AI is evil and will destroy us, but we need DARPA, who created AI. Good logic there Cian. Brilliant. #-'But as long as we keep electing old white men to rule us, it isn't going to change. As an old white man (in my 50's).' Not too racist are ya? and you may not even be white or a man, for all I know. You say this, of course, condemming in an entire segment of the human population, who you apparently all act the same and are all evil, but then you say the following... 'Not until we, as a race... the human race, OF WHICH WE ARE BUT A SINGLE RACE, comprehends that very reality and evolve to treat each other like each of us is a valuable resource and an entity worthy of love, respect and compassion.' So, I guess we're all one race, except for those nasty, evil, old white men, right?! btw, those evil old white men created the modern world, where your life span has almost doubled, where you are able to have a car, a home with electricity, appliances, TV, radio, CDs, DVDs, Wi-Fi, indoor plumbing, stoves, refrigerators, air conditioning, anti-biotics, pain medication, planes, trains, space travel, submarines, democracy, freedom of speech, assembly, right to bear arms, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Da Vinci, Hume, Milton, Locke, Newton, Pasteur, Byron, Keats, Shelley, Dickens, Dickinson, Frost, van Leeuwenhoek, Einstein, Bohr, Tesla, Edison, so on, and so on, virtually ad infinitum. White men pulled the world from its infancy, from slavery, from despotism, from superstition, from short brutal lives under brutal forms of government and brutal religious oppression. You would prefer Catherine DE Medici, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Genghis Khan, Mary I of England (Blood Mary), The Saudi Royal Family, Saddam Hussein, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi???? You pick and choose based upon your prejudice, your puerile political ideology. Evil can exist in anyone. The problem isn't old white politicians. the problem is that anyone on the ballot is already corrupt, has already been blackmailed or bought out by the people who run DARPA, the CIA, the WEF, the big banks, etc., etc. # - 'You're attack on AJ is also unfair. AJ sees the world for what it is, and understands that reality. Ultimately, you are judging from the standpoint of idealism, not realism.' Apparently, you don't pay too much attention to The Why File videos. A.J. ends most of the episodes not just with his trademark send off, which is nothing if not ideal, but he usually editorializes, promoting a better world, describing how the world can be better, if only... A.J is clearly an idealist. This is why I wrote my piece here, because his resignation to DARPA is congruent with this, with his overall message and philosophy, as seen throughout the episodes. I was fundamentally disappointed in his acquiescence to such a monstrous, unchallenged, evil. # -'I feel your frustration, and anger, I fully acknowledge the legitimacy of it. At the same time, I am left the feeling that this "rage against the machine", is also pointless energy spent.' First of all, let me thank you for fully acknowledging the legitimacy of my feelings. I was hoping someone here would be able to tell me what I feel is legitimate. Who the blank do you think you are?! Secondly, angry people are one of the few, and perhaps the best way, to change the world for the better. America, was built on an angry response to tyranny. You may want to dismiss America in total (if you're even American), but America has been a force for good. When I say America I mean its example of a Constitutional Republic, of enshrined basic freedoms which you get nowhere else, of the morality of its people. I think pushing back against evil is never pointless! Are you kidding?! Apparently, your tactic is to just let things get worse and hope at some point in the distant future people will get better. Sounds like a good strategy!!!! How's that working for ya?! Makes me wonder who you really are and what your agenda really is. 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.' Margaret Mead 'Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.' John Stuart Mill Finally, your response is dripping with condescension, patronization and more than a little chauvinism. Your response would have been a bit different if I were a man. Your 'argument' is also full of ad hominins, circular logic, non sequiturs.

Thank you. My husband is a Veteran. He was doing security at the Pentagon the day of 9/11. He was deployed 4 times as a Sniper for the Corp. It was during one of his deployment he was injured but survived a IED attack. That day he watched 4 of his friends lose their life in front of him. Fast forward to today and he is having sever back issues as well as other health issues that have started affecting our daily lives together. He understood the price when he chose to walk away from a full ride Football scholarship at ASU to join the Corp. He also believed that the government would assist him when he needed assistance. It has been an exhausting uphill battle trying to get his benefits to assist him in daily life now. He is a true solider and won’t give up the fight but we have both made our peace with the dark fact that he will be fighting the fight for years because the Veteran Service are absolutely horrific at assisting vets he has come to the sad realization that the country he willing protected for years has turned its back on him as he was disposable for a greater eviler purpose. Thank you for bringing light to this disgusting issue!!!! AJ, gracias amigo!

I've been in two branches of the military and two wars. I've seen and been a part of things FIRST HAND that people today still don't believe were possible then when i tell them about them. To a point i stopped telling people about them. I know my share, of what you shared today, is so true. I know you're telling the truth here. I even used to tell people that the Intelligence Community, as a whole, which includes DARPAs part, is so much darker than they can possibly imagine. You are correct that there are things that are good about the IC. You are also right about the other side of them. After the things I've been a part of, and the things you shared today, i understand why they are so secretive. Nonetheless i see nowhere in any document that permits the secrecy they utilize. The key word i will always remember from the founding documents is "transparency". I don't fathom how they can get away with not providing it, but they do. Anyway. Great episode. Love your honesty. Sorry for the impact you've directly been affected by by because of it. Prayers, Tim

There is a lot to this episode. A lot you said and maybe like with many topics, a lot you don't say for many reasons. AJ the most impressive thing about you is you know what it means to be honorable. You mock no one. You never go into the muck of being negative even if real life creates anything but positive situations many times. We are in the United States....the culture of bone crushing loneliness and isolation socially. You are as much as family for many people. You're all some of us have. It might sound pathetic but sometimes I can tune in and I feel like I'm part of something. A group of people connected by curiousity of many topics that are strange and different. You made this space. You nurtured it. Please never get burned out. Take your time but remember it's not all work. There is genuine appreciation and love towards you as a person. You make a lot of people's lives better. If one day you decide you are getting tired..just remember you're a friend and positive force for some people like myself who don't have very much. AJ thank you for being alive and sharing yourself. I hope for many years to come, you'll be here helping us learn more and having a friend.

2024-06-28 20:56:06 +0000 UTC

Beth, when you say DARPA is unAmerican, I have to disagree. Looking at our history, and all of the things we have done, it is quite clearly very-American. We keep voting in the same type of people who keep doing all the things we claim to be disgusted by. It is only going to get worse, with AI taking over the Internet, creating more documentation in two-weeks than the entire human has had on its own, in its entire existence, previously. It appears that there is darkness ahead of us, but I don't know if it has to be that way. But as long as we keep electing old white men to rule us, it isn't going to change. As an old white man (in my 50's), I believe this truth. It is funny because for many years of my life I really wanted to go into politics, and to make a change. What our country needs to be the country we claim to be, is a different type of politician. Those who base their world in compassion, grounded with wisdom, and science backed knowledge. Of course, this is bigger than just the U.S., but good luck getting the world to work together for common good. I have to say though, that AJ has a good point. We need DARPA on the wall. Without it, we're under the rule of China or Russia or some other place. Because most world leaders are without morals, or compassion. They want power, and they have a myopic view of existence and the future as a whole. You're attack on AJ is also unfair. AJ sees the world for what it is, and understands that reality. Ultimately, you are judging from the standpoint of idealism, not realism. Which I get. It would be awesome to have an ideal society, I suspect your idea and my idea of what that ideal society might look like are probably similar. But the sad truth is, we don't live there, as there isn't a chance of that coming into reality anytime soon. Certainly not in this century, nor likely the next. As a species we have not evolved to be able to fully handle our own intelligence, and what that intelligence can create. Our emotional intelligence, has not caught up with our intellectual intelligence, one might say. I feel your frustration, and anger, I fully acknowledge the legitimacy of it. At the same time, I am left the feeling that this "rage against the machine", is also pointless energy spent. I just wish I had a better option. Sadly I do not. I do not see brightness in our future, at least not until some much further darkness. Not until we, as a race... the human race, of which we are but a single race, comprehends that very reality and evolve to treat each other like each of us is a valuable resource and an entity worthy of love, respect and compassion.

Hey AJ, can you look into the fire at the VA that lost alot of records for Nam veterans. It may well be a very deep dive. As I mentioned in my comment on YouTube last night I feel AO effects more than Nam veterans but their off springs as well. Just a thought. Most of the lost records seem to involve Nam vets.

Really surprised that YT didn't come down on that vid. There are only a couple more things that need to be examined in such depth and the number one is the truth about our Sun. It is not what we are told and this has been known since the first orbital space flights. Trying to get to the Truth through Cosmology Fact Check on X but Elon or his NASA handlers will not of course play along.

These innovations don't need to be associated with the War department (and it's not Defense...it was always and will ever be the War Dpmt). Technological advances, if they need to be part of the government, can and should not be associated with the War Department. They certainly shouldn't be beyond auditing and approval by Congress. DARPA is unconstitutional, unAmerican, unethical and illegal. The irony which most people ignore (most people don't even understand the concept, nor could provide the definition of irony)...is that in 'defending' our country they have become its enemy. In trying to preserve our way of life they have undermined, perverted and are destroying it. If you honestly think having a cell phone and a tricked out car is worth the devastation and immorality of what we even just know they are responsible for, then you are also evil...just as they are... you're just less honest about it, and have no self-awareness, no introspection, no real practical morals. You're a sellout, in short. Moreover, these devices have actually made society worse. People are now stupid, mindless, dependent, anti-social, narcissistic... cuckolds to technology, to the authority behind it. The country is gone, the government/corporations (same thing: Fascism, again a concept most people don't get right) have taken on a life of their own, supplanting us, where the Constitutional entities such as the president, Congress and even the Supreme Court have been placed aside, ignored, neutered, undermined, co-opted (pick your term)...where we the people no longer count, not our votes, not our opinions, not our traditions, not our lives. I'm obviously a supporter but this video along with the recent one on big pharma and experimentation (don't recall the specific title), specifically AJ's commentary have proven very disappointing. A pattern has emerged where you, AJ, really are trying to have it both ways with many of these topics...more so than trying to show both sides. The bottom line when it comes to humanity is that anything big is bad...too many people working together toward any goal tends to amplify the faults of humanity and not the strengths...unfortunately. If you've ever opened up a history book, or philosophical treatise you should already know this. People can not be trusted with too much power, too much secrecy, too much of themselves.

As a kid, I was vaguely aware of Agent Orange only because the protests made the local news. Later I heard about its long-term effects, but only after your episode, now understand what it was, how it was used, and the politics involved. As always, you managed to give both sides, and this one obviously hit close to home.

While I know where your heart is, please don't thank me for being that "drug addicted, baby killer" that everyone was so fond of calling us back in the day. Nobody cared for us until September 20, 2001 when Bush pulled that old social polarization trick " You are either with us, or against us." You see, back then the Bush Doctrine - "The responsibility of the US is to protect itself by promoting democracy where the terrorists are located so as to undermine the basis for terrorist activities." led to us being in a Global War that lasted twenty years until the final pull out of Afghanistan in 2021. Too many of my brothers and sisters died and Afghanistan is now facing one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. All for Lies. Today we get to fight the VA and like my brother, Jesus “Chuy” Juarez, who was only 17 when he enlisted in the Marine Corps, was deported for having undocumented migrants in his car and would spend almost 30 years waiting to come back home to the U.S. He would never make in back. He died March 17, 2024. We have over 400 Veterans that are dying in exile without receiving the proper medical care that they deserve and are entitled to.” If you want to thanks us then please help us bring them home. If you want to "Really Thank Me?" Then go over to "The Unified U.S. Deported Veterans Resource Center", and learn what is still going on to us to this day.

Thank you for sharing, AJ and the Why Files team, for this emotional and honest episode. You guys and girls are the real heroes. We must never forget and prevent from repeating. The more people know the truth the more we can stand up to this 'evilness'. You are bravely making the first steps and open doors towards a better world and I'm truly grateful for this channel. Light and LOVE!

2024-06-28 07:07:38 +0000 UTC

Great episode guys!! You're right in that this was a risky one to put out. Please consider putting a note in the youtube video descriptions that says something to the effect that these videos are "For Educational Purposes Only". I've seen some otherwise prohibited content allowed on the platform simply because that phrase was attached to it. Now I need to see if I have enough for that "talking fish dollllll".

Hi AJ. In my hometown in Vietnam, there is a neighborhood that affected by Agent Orange until now, the land has been cleaned for more than 30 years but still not clean yet, people from there have genetic disabilities or diseases, children was born with defects and it affected generations after or they cannot reproduce anymore. Until now still generations of Vietnamese families and American veterans are suffering from Agent Orange. And it is still not war crime. Unbelievable! Anyway, a great episode but painful for me. Continue on the good works.

Thanks for another great episode! I am left with a conflicted feelings after this. As a tech curious person, I find myself often dazzled by Darpa projects without thinking about the organisation behind it. Someone mentioned cloak and dagger isn't required to develop the good things Darpa had a hand in. And I guess that's true.

Lex Joseph

2024-06-28 05:27:15 +0000 UTC

This was exceptional. Nuanced. I’m speechless. This might be the the best thing I’ve seen on YouTube. Wow.

2024-06-28 04:53:55 +0000 UTC

By the way, my gal is a 30 year veteran. I was with her the whole time. It's amazing how frank people are when it comes why they serve and what they/we are doing. She's quite the trooper, never questioned her role. Because she didn't, I did. What was discovered was nothing I could call encouraging. And it's worse now. MUCH worse. I wish DARPA was what you hope it is.

Richard

2024-06-28 04:44:10 +0000 UTC

I hope I don't come off as righteous, but NO, DARPA is not necessary for the simple fact that ALL the better technology developed could and should have been developed without the darker aspects. Vietnam was debacle, a LIE. We keep worrying about "other countries" without acknowledging they are responding to our shenanigans (talk to Koreans some time to get a real grasp on why that war started). We may not cause it all but lets look at the outlay of funds going directly to "defense" and how we're now facing down a threat from Russia we apparently cannot defend ourselves from, and that WE triggered by our nonsense in Ukraine and sanctions in other countries who's great crime was to tell us "no". What have we gained by all the death and trillions spent? Even our best admit we have nothing to stop hypersonic missiles. We put greed and hubris AHEAD of national defense.

Richard

2024-06-28 04:39:56 +0000 UTC

As a veteran, I deeply appreciate this.

Angela Fowles

2024-06-28 04:05:15 +0000 UTC

Bravo! You have every right to be angry. Hell, maybe you should get more angry about all of the topics you cover. The coverups, the conspiracies, the lies - who wouldn't get angry? I don't recommend it, though, having spent most of my youth as the quintessential 'angry young man,' and realizing that I was powerless to do anything about it. It's much like beating your head against a wall - it feels so good when you stop. You're a good person AJ, and you're honest, two very rare and commendable qualities in a human these days. That's a big reason why I am an avid fan of your show, and it is quite literally the only channel I watch regularly. I know you read these comments, and I really hope you do truly realize how rare your program is in this world. Peace.

Pete Mitchell

2024-06-28 04:04:16 +0000 UTC

Troy McAvoy

2024-06-28 04:03:18 +0000 UTC

Jeez, I don't know what to say, but this episode was brilliant done—and it was clearly heartfelt. Honestly, though it is truly disturbing, I think it should be required viewing. Well, at least by adults. Americans in particular are largely clueless about even their own history, but of course what you've covered in this episode is not anything that would ever have found its way into history textbooks (if those are even a thing in schools anymore). Funny how ignorance of history allows most of us to swallow current media narratives wholesale, innit? Obfuscation, misdirection, and misinformation are today's currency. May it cease to be so. Anyway, another brilliant episode, though you presented this one particularly bravely. We're here for you all, AJ, cheers!

Troy McAvoy

2024-06-28 03:56:22 +0000 UTC

THANK YOU. The problem is there is the VA Health System and then the VA Benefit system., Those working in the benefit section are the worst. I know from first hand experience. I had several claims, but until the law specific to Agent Orange was poassed, I was also denied. Let me just say this, I need a Service Dog to help me walk and keep my balance. Yeah, I got my benefits as well, but I knew Veterans that died while waiting, and there is nothing the families can do and the Vet's benefits stops at death. The Health folks are nice and do their best though understaffed. But the ebenfit section, I don't have one good thing to say about them that is positive. Not one. I was lied to several times, and when they were caught they just shrugged. The "Veterans Benefit Administration" - Giving Veterans a second chance to die for their country since 1930.

Thanks AJ. Nice reporting. I m afraid I do not agree anybody needs darpa in the wall. It s like saying I m ok with a demon guarding the doors to heaven. How long would it take for the demon to turn against its host ? If you want to know the answer, just try to remove it.

Nic and Banx

2024-06-28 03:02:35 +0000 UTC

Thank you AJ and crew. Well done. No fear. You chose the Light and were incredibly balanced and nuanced in the process. 💜 In 1968, my sister died of cancer at age 7, I’ve had a life of “weird” illnesses, genetic blips plus infertility. My dad worked with military munitions and chemicals. Can I prove a connection? Nope. Do I have a strong suspicion, even a “knowing”? Yup. All that aside, too many of my peers experienced families with missing or damaged parents… both psychologically and physically damaged. The origin of my GenX feral-ness…

Definitely thank your father in law and all the other young men who went to serve their country - I was born in '73 so I don't remember Vietnam but I've known several men who served and I think it was shameful how some, if not all, of them were treated upon returning. Thank you for speaking out about one of the worst things some of them endured. AJ, you and your team are amazing!

I actually hope AJ and crew doesn't do a episode on covid (I guess I can use that name safely on Patreon) on Youtube. I don't want to see them get kicked off or inconvenienced. We recently come to the point messing with certain organizations with hidden restrictions will get a creator kicked off. They make a living off Youtube, not Rumble. BTW, Rumble is down. I tried to watch the debate. I hope it's because of too many people and not a attack to be sure people can't watch it.

2024-06-28 01:40:53 +0000 UTC

Thanks so much why files crew. That kinda hit close to home my step grandfather died from complications of agent orange. I don't think he ever got the benefits from VA for that. But thanks alot. It gave me some fond memories.

Michael West

2024-06-28 01:38:17 +0000 UTC

2024-06-28 01:29:28 +0000 UTC

Mustangman- That would also be a very interesting episode, may be even too controversial at least too soon for now- breaking down Covid, what really happened? Many people don't want to consider the fact that it may have been done on purpose.. I admit, I really don't know- but, for sure it didn't seem right. I am taking a risk even responding to this post of yours! that's a shame we have to feel that way for questioning things, right? ugggh... That's what I love about this channel- AJ and the team take these risks.

Lynnette Beer

2024-06-28 01:29:11 +0000 UTC

Thanks for taking the risk!!! I had tears in my eyes for this one:(. You make complex information (and there was a ton of it in this one!) so palpable I am grateful.

Mustangman

2024-06-28 00:59:21 +0000 UTC

You are a good man! My stepdad passed almost a year ago. He was a Vietnam veteran, 2 tours. He also was exposed and had almost all the symptoms of agent orange. He was not treated like the heir he was. Thank you. This channel is my home and y'all are my family. I upped my patron, you don't mess with my family!! Love you all!! Be safe!

Wow, just wow. My dad served 2 tours in Vietnam and was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2002, agent orange. Government spent over $2mm on an experimental stem cell transplant technology @ University of Omaha… he has been cancer free for 20 years. His successful surgery has also saved countless other vets and civilians alike. I have the same conflicting feelings you do. Well done. In hope this lives in YouTube.

I think you wrote a phenomenal episode AJ. I can understand how this causes internal conflict. On one hand DARPA has delivered the USA and the rest of the world so much good, and on the other they’ve dealt crushing and catastrophic blows. It can be a very thin line between good and evil. I think that all we can do is pray that the good outweighs the bad even if by only the narrowest of margins.

Jose Rocha

This was one of the best episodes, and there was nothing to be scared of: it was not against the people but for the people. And well, being off-YouTube is a good thing, despite the challenges. What I always love the most when AJ goes unleashed or close to that. Sometimes standing up for the people and truth matters more than any quality entertainment. Go on!

This episode did not go in the direction that I thought it was going to go. (I was expecting HAARP.) But, I will say this is the only episode of The Why Files that has moved me to tears. I’m happy to be a Patreon supporter.

Very well done my friends. I agree that you sometimes have to fight fire with fire. But I will never understand how after seeing the result of this, humanity can't resolve to never go there again. Your recount of 70's computing brought back some memories. I was actually in a group of 4 or 5 guys that we would get together and write programs. We also did a bit of hacking lol. So much so a local paper did an article on us. I remember being so excited for the internet to take off. Imagine my disappointment when it's first resl use case was porn and gambling lol. Thank you for the great episode!

Great Job TJ, Thank You! My father was hit with agent orange while building brides in the Korean conflict. So the use of agent orange in Korea wasn't spread out as it was in Vietnam, but it did exist prior to Vietnam. My father had blotches on his arms, and where ever else it hit his skin. Google search: This is because Agent Orange was not used as prominently during the Korean War as it was in Vietnam.

I think I might speak for all of us on this I'm not sure, but even if we can't see weekly episodes and you end up having to fight I would like to be able to send support that I can that you need! So might need to hook up with a more secure private link. Something unlisted maybe?

I have never severed in any military but I salute your Father Gerry Costa - USAF - Retired. I see your father's eyes in your eyes and his smile. Jen/AJ - Thank you for sharing the picture of Jen's Father, Mother and her two sisters. My parents had a flower fabric covered sofa when I was growing but my after would take a nap after dinner on it and snore like no tomorrow.

2024-06-27 22:54:39 +0000 UTC

I think this is one of your best episodes, if not THE best. I have a stomachache from anger watching the Agent Orange portion though. In my opinion, every government in every country worldwide is filled with lying, corrupt bastards. All self-serving, money-hungry, power-chasing bastards. That’s not to say that there aren’t good people who enter politics with the best intentions but they don’t stand a chance. They either leave with their integrity intact, or they turn. It’s disgusting. I think you are incredibly brave for this one, AJ. Thank you!

Joan Robinson

2024-06-27 22:54:15 +0000 UTC

To AJ: I am grateful for your honesty always. Your heart felt emotions that I have seen expressed in this episode go beyond any words...especially at 36:07. You brought light to my eyes in this episode. I wasn't aware that the VA estimated 300,000 to 400,000 veterans may have died because of illnesses caused by the exposure to agent orange. Thank you Brother. While the words are easy to say we literally have your back...All Of Us!!!

Man, some of those comments got me seriously concerned for your whole crew's safety! I mean, nothing incredibly surprising except for the Highlands Forum, which I hadn't heard about until now. None of this is classified stuff, so I'm not sure if simply talking about it is going to get you in trouble, but you ruffle the wrong person's feather and I totally can see how they could call up Google and tell them to axe your channel, so I do think you guys took a huge risk, not that you don't with previous episodes. Let's hope that person with ruffled feathers watches till the end at least.

You stick your neck out for us to get some resemblance of the truth, You put yourself and the crew in some danger for the sake of bringing truth to people who crave it. I may sound like a broken record but I really want you guys to know how appreciative I am for the risks you take. For all the hard work you put into every episode... And you hit my heartstrings with this one my dude. I understand the conflictive viewpoint when it comes to DARPA. But in the end you're right, We need them on that wall. I just want to go to DARPA and be allowed to play with everything they're inventing. With love and peace and my gratitude, Thank you, AJ

This episode was an emotional rollercoaster. WOW! (Circled in red…IYKYK). “Balls of steel.” - Hecklefish (and Duke Nukem). The truffle pig joke had me laughing so hard with the crying, hand clapping, and wheezing like a dying fis…seal. Oh, and the end? Sweet, swaddled baby Jesus. “Nailed it!” doesn’t begin to describe it. God bless Mr. WF-in-law and all those who have fought and continue to fight the good fight. Y’all are the real MVP’s.

This was a great episode, The real life incident of which War Games was based was a group of hackers who was on my FidoNet(R) BBS. They hacked into NASA’s computer and were looking for games to play. They accidentally hacked into the US defense computer and wanted to play a game. They accidentally started a “War Game” and armed the nuclear missiles to attack Russia. They almost caused a nuclear war between the US and Russia.

I have never been so angry, thankful, and then brought back to the heart of family in such a short timeframe before now. So eye opening, informative, and reminds us to thank our vets, and remind us we are all connected. Y’all are awesome and no matter what happens, I know I speak for others when I say we have your back.

It's so sad what Vietnam vets went through and even worse how they were treated when they returned. It was such a struggle to get any help for their issues, many made homeless. Just so sad 😢. They deserve anything they need after what they have been through. You getting choked up made me choke up 😭

NASA was creating great technologies and at 1 dollar invested by taxpayers 7 dollars in marketable products, (Government Accounting Office), were realized in the economy. So why did Reagan and Congress defund it and blame it as an excess but put it under control of the Pentagon?

My father was exposed to agent orange. It may have contributed to him being diagnosed with childhood leukemia at 71 years old. Thank you for exposing it.

This DARPA episode is great.. one of my very favorites so far! Hecklefish mentioned a link down below about how the world gets taken over by... I can't remember now. Anybody know where to click on this link cuz I don't see it below where he's saying. Thx!

Great episode AJ. One of the best. I'll always support you on patreon.

Very touching AJ. As an RN who works with Vietnam vets I am truly moved by this

Upped my monthly about 20 minutes in. i mean damn. Y’all do incredible work.

Im hoping to talk to AJ. Great show!!! I have another subscription since May 2024 but I have been locked out of all chat rooms , etc… and no one to guide me on what I did wrong. So I started a second membership. Lol… well, at least I am now able to type now again… And yes, same Lee below…

I know DARPA all too well…

I’ll work on Mel’s hole with him 👀

I’m sure YT isn’t going to be told to take down your channel after the latest SC decision. 🙄 Thankfully, there are other options out there if the unspeakable happens.

AJ you did a great job and thank you for showing your support to all us veterans out there. Your bravery and honesty is why I fully support you and the team. We are stronger with you in our corner for sure.

Your all doing a great job with the channel. AJ, Art Bell would've definitely been a subscriber and probably worked on Mel's hole with you

Thank you for your hard work, This is your best episode to date.

Another awesome episode.

We got your back like a sweatshirt!

This explains why we don't see military recruitment centers like we used to. They used to be EVERYWHERE. Especially in times of pending war. They don't need us.

Strong work guys. Amazing episode. Thank you so much!!!

Please do an episode dealing with Ancient India and the use of Vihmanas including the use atomic weapons as well as plasma weapons!!

Welcome new members! About time you joined us! 😉

Monkeywerx talks about that on his Patreon

Thank you for your service!! This one got me, AJ! Thank you!! Well done ❤️‍🩹

Very very well done. AJ and team your in my heart, thoughts & prayers.

New patreon here, love your video's and dedication, always great stuff! Thank you

This was one of your best episodes! I support you AJ and after watching this episode and seeing how much you truly care, I decided to join and pay. Sorry for your loss! I’m a veteran and I have seen the corruption first hand in our Government. Keep doing the Lord’s work!

Dude! We got your back AJ and Team!

I have my theory about its true nature but the most important fact is that it can not be seen bye eye from cislunar space. An investigation as thorough as the DARPA one would verify the fact I'm sure.

Episode title should be “The Darker Side Of DARPA”, just for the poetry!

Been watching for about a year. I joined your Patreon simply because of the DARPA episode. powerful stuff, man. Tell your paw in law I said “welcome home.”

I'm writing this knowing I'm probably already on a list with all the videos watched and book I've purchased. Please can all of you just try not to drive for a little while. Cause if I hear about one of you guys being in a deadly car accident I'm gonna loose it!

Ne here..not sure where to ask... Is it true China is buying up our land to become part owners of America?

Government won't care who they blow up once they have regeneration and superhuman capabilities.

GOD bless ♥️🤍💙✨

Thank you for your hard and thorough work! Without you I know I’d still be in the dark on so many of these matters. Love your videos!! Stay safe and take care!

AJ now you have some idea of how the signers of the declaration of independence may have felt at the time when you willingly stand for the truth and gamble everything you are a hero.

this stuff isn't to protect us from the bad guys it is to protect them from us the people paying for all of this shit.

DARPA T2000. I'll be back!

I’m not crying, you’re crying 😩😢😢🥹🙃

Oh after my new job kicks in I'm upgrading my Membership.

Wow what an episode, thank you so much. We are upgrading our patron membership today. You know we all have your back. Please tell your father in law thank you for his service. 🙏

AJ and the whole team at WF: Thank you for what you do. What and why you do what you do keeps me personally and financially invested and fully supportive. Keep up the great work. These episodes rock! From the inner depths of our hearts, we say thank you. 👍❤️😎

It was brave of you posting this video and being honest about how it may effect your circumstances. I figured that was worth $3 a month month to support your independence in choosing what to cover.

These drone robots scare the shit out of me. Not looking forward to living an episode of Black Mirror in real life.

You took the words right out of my mouth! I am doing the same with starting my membership! Thank you AJ and Hecklefish for everything you do!

After watching this episode and feeling Aj's concern, decided to beomcome a member. Love me some Hecklefish! AJ's pretty awesome too!

Wow! AJ, your honesty, vulnerability, and courage rivaled the actual great content and subject of the episode. May God bless you and bless America.

My pops served in Vietnam and worked at SRI for a time. He would have loved this episode AJ. Thanks bud 🤗

Thank you, AJ and team, for having the courage to put out this great content and information that some might try to censor!! I’m so glad to be a supporter of your work!

As a girl from Oz, I feel like the man behind the curtain has been revealed, and Kansas is all of a sudden looking pretty effing good. I'm actually scared to write about how deep I feel like this could go.

A.J., you did the right thing by doing this episode. These are things that the American people needed to know, I'm just sorry that it may have hurt you financially. Your followers will always have your back and thank you for all of your hard work.

That was a deep episode. U can just feel the anger and worry in AJ face and voice.

You ain't gonna get demonetized for reporting unclassified information and criticizing the US military industrial complex. Criticize the Chinese Communist Party, the Saudis, or Israel... that'll get you demonetized.

DARPA real life legion of doom?

☕😉

Incredible service. Tell your father-in-law welcome home.

I joined because you made me nervous with the DARPA episode. I never been addicted to a YouTube channel lol

So, what is the Sun, then, if not a fairly ordinary yellow star? Never heard of this before.

I'm confused Vietnam was 50+ years ago. Surely, all the toxic effects have been studied now and treatments can be established. I know the US doesn't have a healthcare system, but I thought ex-military got automatic free care. I didn't realise they had to apply for it. This is bad

Thank you for this episode and the risks you took. Thank you to all the servicemen and women who have risked their lives for our safety.

Awesome gonna send thanks through youtube!!! 💰

Well done. Fantastic episode. For me, you’re back on top of the game.

What an incredible episode, as always

The science isn’t the problem, the corruption, that’s our problem.

My father suffers from cancer and his kidneys bladder, and it is a known fact that it’s from his time in Vietnam being exposed to agent orange as well. I share your anger at the governments recklessness. DARPA is a double edged sword indeed. Keep up the good work AJ and crew.

I became a patron today, after watching the DARPA episode. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you AJ and if my small subscription can help to keep you producing great content episodes I will gladly keep paying. Love you AJ and Hecklefish. Thank you xx

Amazing episode, thank you!

I'd love to buy a cameo from you, AJ - is this something you do?

Such a good one! Any plans for an episode on HAARP? Surprised it wasn't touched more in this one!

You’re are a modern hero, in your own right! Love, and appreciate what your do!

Excellent episode

Been a weekly fan for around a year now but just subbed to the patreon. Wish I would have joined sooner here. This was one of the best episodes. Really appreciate the story telling and the pulling back of the lens. Thanks for letting me into your little corner of the internet.

Keep up the great work, even if it’s risky. I, along with the rest of your patrons, will donate more if you ever get demonetized on YouTube.

Can I just say… AJ, you are a master! You, and your team are truly a group of amazing creators! Your story-telling, the delivery, and even Hecklefish, are always spot on.

Love you guys

As always double thumbs up. this solidifies what i'm sure many already knows WE ARE ALL PRISONERS......Is being guarded by the best enhanced tech make it worth it ;.????, I DONT KNOW ....If it were up to me I'd say train us all. let us in the loop that we too can be part of securing our tomorrow

I commented on the YouTube channel, but I wanted to comment here again and say again thank you for putting your livelihood at risk to bring us this information I appreciate everything you do and I hope you keep doing it. Thank you again, AJ and all the people at your channel.

I’ll be watching it tonight!! Thank you guys!!

Hey AJ, so sorry for your pain. It’s obvious it’s still there. And Thank you for your videos. We need men like you on that wall too.
