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.

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.

612: The Dark Alliance: CIA and DARPA's Hidden War on Citizens (COMPILATION)

Discover the United States Strategic Command's CONPLAN 8888, the military's actual plan for confronting a zombie apocalypse. 

This discussion uncovers how this unique document, though labeled a training exercise, connects to genuine military strategies for pandemics and WMDs. We examine the various zombie classifications—from pathogenic to evil magic—and the chilling scenarios the Pentagon considers. 

Learn about the operational phases, from environmental shaping to civil authority restoration, and why certain critical details remain hidden in classified annexes. 

This compelling account also touches on the psychological impact of zombie media and essential survival tips for any major societal disruption.

611: CONPLAN 8888: The Secret Plan to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse

In 1947, a mysterious craft crashed in the New Mexico desert. President Truman immediately formed a secret committee of twelve men to manage this unprecedented discovery. For almost 40 years, Majestic 12 operated in complete secrecy, controlling every aspect of UFO information. 

When leaked documents finally exposed their existence, researchers thought they had found proof of the ultimate government cover-up. Instead, they discovered something far more disturbing: a sophisticated disinformation campaign that turned truth into a weapon. 

The psychological warfare techniques perfected on UFO researchers in the 1980s have now become the blueprint for manipulating public perception on every topic. 

This isn't just about aliens and cover-ups - it's about how information warfare shapes what we believe is real.

610: Majestic 12 | Secret Documents Expose UFO Cover-Up Vol. 1

This compilation reveals eight extraordinary cases that will make you question everything you thought you knew about what's really happening above our heads.

From a weather observer's unlikely friendship with chalk-white aliens at a secret base to Brazilian Air Force documentation of blood-draining UFO attacks, these stories span continents and decades. Military officers, school children, and government investigators all share one thing in common: they witnessed something that wasn't supposed to exist.

Buckle up for alien combat operations, telepathic extraterrestrials, and ancient astronauts who might have built us from scratch. Each story presents evidence that we are definitely not alone.

609: COMPILATION: UFOs and Aliens Vol.2 | They are NOT our friends

In 2023, something began hunting people in the remote Amazon village of San Antonio de Pintuyacu. Witnesses described seven-foot beings in black armor with glowing yellow eyes, hovering on disc-shaped platforms, hunting for human faces.

Fifteen-year-old Talia barely escaped when two tried to peel the skin from her face with a laser device. She heard them speaking Spanish and English, planning their procedure.

For 500 years, the Ikitu people have told stories of the Pishtaco - pale-skinned beings who steal human fat and faces. Now the legend had returned with advanced technology.

Authorities blamed illegal miners with jetpacks. But the evidence suggests something far more sinister - advanced military technology entwined with a shadowy international trade in human lives.

608: Peru's Most Terrifying Mystery | The Face Peelers

Here's a philosophical question for you. If a color doesn't have a name, can we still see it? 

Many years ago, the human eye evolved to give us the ability to see about a million colors. 

That's a lot. 

Then how come, until very recently, nobody saw or even heard of the color blue? 

Well, it's because blue just -- didn't exist yet. 

Let's find out why.
