UFO Expert and Whistleblower Luis Elizondo May Run for Congress

There is perhaps no name more associated with UFO disclosure in 2021 than Luis Elizondo, the former head of the Pentagon’s secret Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) and current whistleblower who is anxiously awaiting the National Intelligence report on what the government knows about “unidentified aerial phenomena.” Unfortunately, Elizondo already knows enough to be concerned that the report will be watered down and not contain the “truth.” If that’s the case, he has recently announced he wants to become the second-most-well-known UFO politician besides former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (sorry Marco Rubio) and run for office himself to do what Reid and others couldn’t – release the full and unredacted X-Files.
If the Pentagon’s Public Affairs officers, and those who give them orders, continue to obfuscate and mislead the American people about the reality of UAP [Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, a k a UFOs] and what our government knows about them, I may have no choice but to put my boots back on and run for Congress. If that’s what it takes to get the truth out, that’s what I’ll do.

Luis Elizondo

It wouldn’t be unusual for Luis Elizondo to put his boots on since he’s rarely seen without them, but the announcement that he would run for Congress, which he made in an interview with The Black Vault, is a first. Elizondo is upset that the emails and attachments – schedules, calendars, transcripts, etc. – from his time at the Pentagon were confirmed to have been destroyed. That revelation may have turned Elizondo into an angry political Incredible Hulk, as he warns in the interview.

If I get a seat [in Congress], I will make sure [there is] total transparency on everything, not just UAPs, but all the other crap that I know that goes on behind these closed doors. I can assure you that there are elements in the Pentagon right now that do not want a cat like me sitting in Congress.
If the report is as weak as he expects it to be, Elizondo describes it as an “intelligence failure” as major as 9/11. He bases this assessment partly on the fact that the 9/11 Commission Report took three years, while the UFO report was completed in 180 days. That means it won’t contain what Elizondo has been saying to anyone who will listen — that “someone, from somewhere, [is] displaying beyond next-generation technology … in our controlled airspace.” In was sounds like a campaign speech, he tells The Black Vault that if he were elected, he would force Congress and the Pentagon to disclose:
Everything that can be safely disclosed without harming our national security. Our tax dollars have paid for answers. It’s about time the American people start to get them.
Spoken like a true politician. Is Harry Reid his campaign manager?

Would you vote for Luis Elizondo? Does he have a chance of winning? Is the presence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in our airspace really the biggest intelligence failure since 9/11? Is a promise of disclosure – both of UAPs and other secrets — enough to get him elected?

Will the aliens allow it?

Stranger things have happened.

There is not a snowballs chance in hell that Elizondo would be elected to Congress. No one knows him outside UFO circles. Is he campaigning on Disclosure only? He needs more than that to get elected. I wonder if this is all for show.

As a voter in Colorado's 3rd congressional district, I can assure you that far, far stranger and vastly stupider things have happened.

I see Lue as taking his job seriously. I believe he decided to do everything in his power to get what is so often referred to as "disclosure" to happen in real life. I think he has done as well as anyone, but there are huge forces working against him. The average congressional district has fewer than a million people in it, and there are few qualifications for the job beyond breathing and not being currently incarcerated. In the right district, he could pull it off. I'd vote for him.

He just did an interview with Howard Hughes and the Unexplained and it's the first time I've heard him speak normally and didn't need to keep haarumphing 'bullshit' into my hand. Well worth listening to. Don't quite know what to make of it exactly but it sounded more genuine than I've heard before and didn't involved people I dislike doing the interview.

His comment about ufologists wanting disclosure is 'don't screw up your opportunity'

Edition 549 - Luis Elizondo

Honestly, our standards for elected officials are so low these days that he looks like a really good choice. That's not a dig at Lou but rather pointing out how awful many of the current ones are - and they keep getting elected.

IWe need young blood, not old dudes looking for a retirement plan. I misread the below sentence to mean he was recruited but it was his father.

Luis Elizondo - Wikipedia

"Elizondo is the son of Luis Elizondo III, a Cuban exile that volunteered for Brigade 2506, a CIA-sponsored group of exiles formed in 1960."

Lue might (or might not) be The Man when it comes to UFOs and I definitely would not want to be locked in an interrogation room in a position where I had something he wanted. But running for Congress? Can he F this up any more? Did TTSA not create enough angst for everyone?

Just the link not the whole story (lazy today) but we've heard that Lue had something to do with Guantanamo Bay and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. They don't let just anybody in there obviously. Well, here's a peek at some of the weird s**t they did to KSM (although it was in Romania) . Heard somewhere they let him think it might actually be patented. Who knew he had such a passion for domesticity? Freedom fighter or terrorist apparently he's neat about it.

Grave danger from talking about a vacuum cleaner or a hand towel design, really?...

From your link:

Mohammed's military lawyer, Jason Wright, said he was prohibited from discussing his client's interest in vacuums.

"It sounds ridiculous, but answering this question, or confirming or denying the very existence of a vacuum cleaner design, a Swiffer design, or even a design for a better hand towel would apparently expose the US government and its citizens to exceptionally grave danger," Wright said.

I understand what he's saying but yeah, it does sound ridiculous . I guess talking about what they did to him really is 'sources and methods' . Sounds silly but also damned clever - appealed to his imagination curiosity and ego all at once.

Hmmm. That's a thought. Apply that litmus test to a lot of things. Someone makes a claim ask how it impacts their imagination, ego and and/or curiosity. Ray Stanford. Bob Lazar. Jeremy Corbell.

Although it maybe should be, becoming a Congressional representative is not such an elite status that Luis doesn't stand a chance. On the one hand, a Congressional district is to some extent local. On the other, UFOs are almost mainstream for the time being, so this may be the opportune time for someone associated with UFOs to run for office.


Also, if you belong to the camp that views Elizondo as an operative doing the bidding of powerful elements within the intelligence-military-corporate complex, then you could expect him to actually win. :cool2:

I just can’t get comfortable with him. Beware Greeks bearing gifts. Something just doesn’t sit right with me about what he’s said. Recently I’ve liked some of the interviews I’ve heard with him and he seems more human but still ….
