About this episode

M.D. Selig joins Josh Gagne to discuss the complexities of UFO disclosure and the manipulation of public perception through military intelligence and narrative control.

What happens when a decorated Marine combat pilot, squadron intelligence officer, Hollywood insider, and bestselling starts asking questions about UFO disclosure, government secrecy, and psychological operations? This one goes deep. The conversation goes far beyond "aliens." In this episode, M.D. Selig — author of the international bestselling thriller Hush — joins the show from a boat in the Pacific to unpack the uncomfortable intersection between military intelligence, narrative control, and the shaping of public perception. Drawing from his background in military intelligence and storytelling, he breaks down how narratives are engineered, why timing matters, and how institutions manage information during moments of public tension. We explore the possibility that disclosure itself may not simply be about revealing truth — but about controlling the context in which truth is received. From military information warfare to media framing, from MH370 to 9/11, this discussion pulls on the threads that connect secrecy, perception management, and long-term narrative control.
