Description: 

In this episode we break down a new Atlantic article confirming that CIA director John Ratcliffe is running Project Ukraine, while Elon Musk accuses Zelensky of violating Starlink's terms of service and draws a hard line between Starlink and the Pentagon's Starshield. As the Starlink fight exposes a deep power struggle inside the Trump administration, Putin keeps betting on Dmitriev, Witkoff and Kushner to deliver a new European security architecture that Rubio insists is only about Donbas. Who is really running Washington's Russia policy, and does Putin's unusual diplomacy stand any chance?

Richard Dolan | Why UFOs Are an Intractable Problem | March 24, 2021

John Ratcliffe, former director of national intelligence during the Trump administration, recently stated that there are several "difficult to explain" UFO sightings that are in the soon-to-be-released UAP Task Force report scheduled for June.

This is no surprise to students of the UFO subject since thousands of reports are filed every year, many of which are truly remarkable. But how far can any government-issued UFO/UAP report go? Quite probably, the answer is "not very."

Richard Dolan is one of the world’s leading researchers and writers on the subject of UFOs and believes that they constitute the greatest mystery of our time. He is the author of two volumes of history, UFOs and the National Security State, both ground-breaking works which together provide the most factually complete and accessible narrative of the UFO subject available anywhere. He also co-authored a speculative book about the future, A.D. After Disclosure, the first-ever analysis not only of how UFO secrecy might end but of the all-important question: what happens next?

He was the Director of National Intelligence - the government official that overlooks the entire United States Intelligence Community.

There is no doubt that America sure has its secrets; and whomever fills that spot, likely knows them all.

John Ratcliffe, who served as the director from May of 2020 to the end of President Donald Trump's term in office in January of 2021, just laid some bombshell claims about UFOs in a recent interview with FoxNews.

Here's what he said and what it might mean. Stay tuned... you're about to journey Beyond The Black Vault. -theblackvault.com
