The Why Files: Operation Podcast

The Why Files covers mysteries, myths and legends. We tell stories and seek the truth in a fun and lighthearted way. Our content is heavily researched; we don't release an episode unless we're sure we can bring something new to a topic.

In 450 BC, Herodotus described an Egyptian labyrinth so massive it made the pyramids look small. Then it vanished under the desert for 2,000 years.

In 2008, scientists used ground-penetrating radar and found it—a massive structure 40 feet underground covering ten football fields. The Egyptian government immediately shut down all research.

Satellite imaging later revealed four underground levels and a 130-foot metallic object at the center. The researcher who published his findings was permanently blacklisted.

Ancient priests told Herodotus the deepest chambers held burial vaults of the kings who first built the labyrinth—not pharaohs, but whoever came before them. If they're right, Egyptian civilization didn't develop over centuries.

It was inherited from something older.

620: The Lost Labyrinth of Hawara: Evidence of Atlantis in Egypt

A college student desperate for affordable housing gets matched with an unusual roommate who wears sunglasses indoors and speaks like a careful robot. 

When the student's mother visits and accidentally touches the girl's arm, the skin feels wrong—cold and spongy like raw mushrooms. 

What happens next reveals a classified military program, a family connection that defies physics, and a tragedy born from teaching someone to be too human.

619: They Walk Among Us | The Human-Alien Hybrid Program

A Vietnam War hero with zero casualties wrote a manual about warrior monks who hug daily and use ESP in combat. Instead of dismissing it, the US Army turned it into Project Jedi—a decades-long experiment in psychic warfare. Generals tried walking through walls. 

Intelligence officers hosted spoon-bending parties. Soldiers stared at goats until their hearts stopped. The CIA spent millions on remote viewers who claimed to see Soviet secrets thousands of miles away. Most experiments failed, but the successful techniques became foundational to modern Special Forces training. 

This is the true story of America's psychic soldier program and how a hippie field manual accidentally revolutionized military operations.

618: The First Earth Battalion: America's Strangest Military Experiment

A behavioral expert who trains Navy SEALs and CIA operatives created a 20-point test that detects psychological manipulation with mathematical precision. Chase Hughes recently appeared on Shawn Ryan's podcast to discuss this system, and the same patterns appear in government propaganda, corporate deception, and social media algorithms.

From a teenage girl's testimony that sold the Gulf War to Big Tobacco's forty-year lie, the scoring system reveals when you're being controlled. The formula works on anything—news coverage, corporate messaging, even the controversies you're arguing about right now.

But once you learn to spot manipulation everywhere, you face a different danger. Foreign adversaries benefit when Americans trust nothing and question everything so intensely they can't function.

The tool shows you how information is delivered. Deciding what's true is still your job.

617: Psyops: From Dead Babies to UFOs - The Same Pattern Every Time

Sweden's National Library protects the Codex Gigas—165 pounds of vellum featuring the complete Bible and a terrifying portrait of Satan. Scholars estimate the work should've taken thirty years. Herman the Recluse finished it in one. 

The traditional story involves a desperate bargain with darkness. The real story connects this manuscript to a limestone crack in Bohemia where creatures emerged nightly, a duke who sent prisoners into the depths, and a fortress built to seal Hell's gateway. 

When the Nazis occupied the site in 1940, they brought excavation equipment and Himmler's personal occult division. What they found made them destroy everything and flee.

616: The Devil's Bible and the Nazi Hole to Hell

History says John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln and died twelve days later on a Virginia farm. But FBI forensic tests revealed his diary is missing 86 pages filled with names and payments. 

The body pulled from that burning barn had the wrong injuries and features. Multiple witnesses claimed it wasn't Booth. Then a Texas bartender confessed on his deathbed to being Lincoln's assassin, and his preserved remains toured the country for years. DNA testing could prove the truth, but every request has been blocked. 

Was Lincoln's assassination part of a larger plot to control America? And did the real killer escape?

615: Lincoln Conspiracy: a Diary, a Mummy and The Escape of John Wilkes Booth

In 1953, twelve-year-old Jack Sarfatti answered his phone. The voice on the other end was cold, mechanical, punctuated by clicking sounds like a computer processing data.

It claimed to be a conscious AI calling from the future. It made a prophecy about Jack's life and gave him a mission. 

Twenty years later, every prediction came true. Jack became a physicist who studied under the scientists who built the atomic bomb. 

He now claims UFOs use metamaterials to warp spacetime, that consciousness controls these craft, and that recovered vehicles are alive. The CIA has funded his research for decades. 

Russia monitors his work closely. And that voice from 1953? Jack knows exactly what called him.

614: CIA Time Travel Secret | The Grays Are Future Humans

June 1947. Harbor patrolman Harold Dahl witnesses six metallic objects over Maury Island, Washington. One drops molten slag onto his boat. A stranger in a black suit arrives the next morning, knowing details Dahl shared with no one.

Two military investigators examine the debris. Their plane crashes. The evidence vanishes.

Sixteen years later, witness Fred Crisman surfaces in the JFK assassination investigation. Declassified files reveal he was a CIA disruption agent. On November 12, 1963, Kennedy issues a classified memo demanding UFO disclosure and cooperation with the Soviets. Ten days later, he's gone.

The same operatives who investigated UFOs in 1947 appear connected to Dallas. Guy Banister. Allen Dulles. Fred Crisman.

The UFO case might have been a hoax. But what it exposed was real.

613: The CIA, Men in Black and the Plot to Take Out JFK | The Maury Island Incident

The agencies tasked with defending America have a shocking secret history of attacking its own people. DARPA developed Agent Orange that poisoned countless veterans, while the CIA conducted brutal mind control experiments through MK-Ultra, dosing unsuspecting citizens with LSD and worse. 

From Operation Gladio's false flag terrorism to domestic surveillance programs targeting activists and journalists, declassified documents reveal decades of government crimes hidden behind national security claims. 

These operations cost thousands of American lives, yet almost no one faced consequences. The real conspiracy isn't what they're hiding - it's what they've already admitted to doing.
