Who decides what the American public gets to know? Kent Heckenlively comes to StandingFree to explore controversial questions surrounding government secrecy, declassification, and public accountability.

Heckenlively is an attorney, science teacher, author, and public speaker who has written extensively on vaccines and COVID-era controversies, intelligence agencies, technology, media, and unidentified anomalous phenomena. A two-time New York Times bestselling author, his recent work includes Catastrophic Disclosure: The Deep State, Aliens, and the Truth.

Drawing on his research and reported access to Congressman Eric Burlison, a member of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, Heckenlively will examine questions involving the JFK assassination, Jeffrey Epstein, COVID-19 origins, UAPs, intelligence agencies, and allegations surrounding the “deep state.” He will consider what Congress has sought to uncover, what remains disputed or undisclosed, and why government transparency and accountability matter in a constitutional republic.
