Hypothetical Scenarios

In a recent interview on Theories of Everything and Disclosure Tonight, Lue Elizondo presented a thought-provoking analogy. He described a situation where Pentagon employees manage a secret UFO program without any congressional oversight or presidential knowledge.

> "Imagine a group that ran a UFO operation in the past, but due to unforeseen events, presidents and Congress were no longer informed. Now, they are executing a crucial mission that is considered rogue. If the truth emerges, what will happen to those who operated without oversight? Who will be accountable for their actions?"

This hypothetical scenario presents a staggering potential revelation, but Elizondo expands on this further.

In the same interview, he discussed an aerospace company that allegedly gained unfair bidding advantages due to possession of "exotic materials" provided by the government long ago. This scenario raises questions about the integrity of government contracts and the potential loss of jobs in the aerospace sector.

Elizondo speculated that hundreds may have lost their positions, and billions of dollars could have exchanged hands due to contracts won through unfair practices. It prompts inquiries as to why these contractors did not alert Congress or take legal action.

Additionally, with the stock of major aerospace firms being actively traded, the financial ramifications are significant.

In another conversation on Dr. J. Radio Live, Elizondo was asked if he had approached Lockheed Martin regarding their exotic materials.

> "Yes, we have made inquiries, but I cannot disclose the details as they require approval from relevant organizations. I am confident that the U.S. government possesses exotic materials, and I stand by that assertion."

Recently, during an appearance on Theories of Everything, Elizondo was questioned about the government's lack of transparency regarding UAP, to which he provided insight.

Christopher Mellon, in a rare interview on The Joe Rogan Show, also shared information on the Roswell incident, stating, "I have been informed by credible sources that there is truth to these stories, and I do not dismiss them."

Elizondo's numerous interviews across various platforms have revealed many hypothetical scenarios related to UAP. If these are based on his knowledge from his tenure at AATIP, the implications could be profound.

He suggests the existence of a government conspiracy where the U.S. government has recovered UFOs and transferred them to contractors who now keep their existence hidden from both the public and Congress.

Furthermore, Elizondo implies that there may be a rogue UFO initiative within the government that operates without congressional oversight, allowing its managers to make decisions without accountability.

Interestingly, these hypothetical programs once had some level of congressional oversight before going dark.

Ideally, Congress would be fully informed about the findings of the AATIP program, but the reality remains uncertain.

An Alternate Perspective

Let us revisit October 4, 2017, marking Lue Elizondo’s departure from his role at AATIP. Elizondo, an American patriot with a distinguished service record, found himself unable to brief then-Secretary of Defense General Mattis on critical intelligence regarding UFO programs.

Had Elizondo been able to meet with Mattis, he would have likely discussed the lack of congressional oversight and the issues arising from contractors possessing exotic materials that skew the bidding process.

If this information reached the Secretary of Defense, it would necessitate action, potentially involving Congress and the President. Failure to act could implicate Mattis in potential legal issues if the knowledge became public.

The question arises regarding the plausible deniability of a serving Secretary of Defense concerning UAP knowledge.

Faced with this dilemma, Elizondo resigned in protest.

Is the intelligence Elizondo possesses beyond the clearance of congressional intelligence committees? If he could have shared this intelligence directly with Congress, it might have alleviated his concerns and prevented his resignation.

As we reflect on the achievements of Elizondo and his colleagues over the last four years, we can only speculate on the potential outcomes had this information been disclosed to the President and Congressional leaders.

It also raises the question of why Elizondo didn’t approach the President directly. Perhaps we will find answers in the future.

Congressional Awareness

There are speculations that Elizondo contributed to the classified version of the UAP Task Force report for Congress. While unverified, some insights from AATIP's findings appear in the provisions now included in the NDAA.

The NDAA addresses shortcomings in intelligence gathering that may have been highlighted in classified reports or through insights from Christopher Mellon’s writings.

Senator Kristen Gillibrand, who is part of both the Senate Armed Services Committee and Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, has taken action to enhance the NDAA. Her proposed amendments seek information regarding nuclear materials and the medical or biological effects on individuals who have encountered UAP.

Dr. Garry Nolan, a Stanford University pathology professor, has been contracted by the CIA and aerospace companies to research these phenomena. He has conducted blood analyses and ongoing studies related to brain injuries among U.S. military and aerospace personnel.

Additionally, Senator Gillibrand has called for information on the handling and storage of nuclear weapons.

While her amendments were under consideration, Elizondo provided crucial information linking UAP to nuclear issues.

In an interview with The Debrief, he stated:

> "AATIP recognized the nuclear connection, and there was significant information that Robert Hastings had which we could validate through intelligence reports. His findings were accurate and provided essential insights."

The AATIP program confirmed Robert Hastings’ assertions from his book "UFOs and Nukes," where he interviewed over 150 military personnel who reported UAP activity around nuclear facilities.

Congress is increasingly concerned about UAP incursions at ICBM sites and nuclear storage facilities.

Congressional Hearings

The hypotheticals presented by Elizondo do not align with the provisions sought in the NDAA. The NDAA does not seek information about concealed UFO programs within the Pentagon or about exotic materials used to gain unfair advantages in government contracts.

Elizondo’s hypothetical discussions seem aimed at encouraging lawmakers to conduct hearings to uncover the hidden aspects of UFO history. This could involve questioning government employees with the necessary credentials to eliminate confusion stemming from the Pentagon.

The Pentagon’s ability to obscure intelligence has become evident to many lawmakers. The NDAA's language has addressed deficiencies in UAP intelligence gathering.

However, the Pentagon has countered with the establishment of the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG), which many view as a tactic to keep UAP intelligence away from congressional scrutiny.

The pressing question remains: Can the Pentagon successfully obstruct Congress from obtaining the truth and necessary oversight regarding UAP through mandated annual reports from the NDAA?

The answer may only become clear by October 31, 2022, when the first annual UAP report is due for congressional review, but the urgency for answers is palpable.

The implications of potential Pentagon interference in Congress's oversight of UAP programs are significant, if true. Congressional hearings could provide clarity and insight into the reality that Elizondo describes in his hypotheticals.

Understanding how these hearings may influence global discourse based on new congressional revelations is an intriguing consideration for the future.

But that is a discussion for another time.
