## Resource

After years of pushing the boundaries of what the public was allowed to know, Elizondo found himself quietly edged out of the very system he once served. This episode recaps his recent visit Dallas, Texas for his Persona Non Grata Tour. Rep. Eric Burlison and author/ screen writer Jennifer Broday. Also, without warning, Wave Two has begun. In this episode, we break down the sudden “Disclosure Dump” attributed to the War Department, an uncoordinated, uneven, almost panicked release of documents, footage, and internal memos that feel less like transparency and more like a pressure valve being forced open (or the low-hanging fruit). We examine what’s real, what’s misdirection, and what these leaks suggest about the factions inside the government fighting over the narrative. The question isn’t whether disclosure is happening, it’s who’s trying to steer it, and why the War Department suddenly seems willing to play its hand. And what's next?
