They Tried To Frame UFO Whistleblower Dylan Borland For Treason
"The CIA illegally monitored the computer and phone usage of DIA personnel, their investigations, and contact with whistleblowers. These were Americans being spied upon illegally while executing duties directed by the president and under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence."
Career CIA officer James Erdmann III testified before Senate that the CIA illegally surveilled Office of Director of National Intelligence personnel investigating UFO programs, COVID origins, and other sensitive topics. The testimony confirms suspicions that whistleblowers who came forward under promised protections were systematically monitored, with their phones tapped and computers hacked, directly contradicting whistleblower protection assurances.

About this episode

In this explosive episode of Weaponized, hosts George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell reveal bombshell allegations about systematic government abuse of UFO whistleblowers, recorded live at McMinnville UFO Fest with surprise guest Dylan Borland. The episode centers on revelations that CIA illegally surveilled Office of Director of National Intelligence personnel and whistleblowers during a classified investigation into UFO legacy programs, COVID origins, and other sensitive topics—confirmed by sworn Senate testimony from career CIA officer James Erdmann III just days before the event. Knapp and Corbell detail their involvement as first contacts for ODNI's Director's Initiative Group investigation launched under Tulsi Gabbard, describing how they connected multiple whistleblowers including Borland, Matthew Brown, and David Grusch to investigators who promised protection. Instead, the journalists allege, ODNI personnel systematically attempted to discredit witnesses, accused them of fabricated crimes including treason, and may have fabricated evidence to entrap Borland specifically. Most dramatically, Corbell publicly disclosed for the first time that ODNI sources told him Borland testified to the Intelligence Community Inspector General about a UFO program called Project Rubik's Cube and drew images of a non-human intelligence pyramid-shaped power source featuring hieroglyphic markings. Borland invoked neither confirm nor deny protocols but stated he would answer all questions under oath if granted whistleblower amnesty. The episode also addresses Borland's personal testimony of witnessing a 100-foot triangular craft at Langley Air Force Base and the severe consequences he has faced since coming forward, including job loss, doxxing, and what he describes as perceived threats. Knapp and Corbell frame the episode as essential transparency journalism, stating they were legally advised by attorney Chuck McCullough they had a duty to report what ODNI disclosed to them, and positioning the public reveal as protection for Borland against ongoing government retaliation.
