Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we are asking, is Louis Elizondo Darth Vader?
That's correct. Is Louis Elizondo Darth Vader?
Seems to have been some startling revelations in Louie's
book that's just been released. It's all over Twitter.
Haven't seen a lot of it information online just yet.
But before we get into that, let's just get a little
background on Louis. We can go to Wikipedia and kind
of get the generic version. Tell us Louis Elizondo is a
media personality and former U.S.
Army counterintelligence spatial agent and former employee of the
Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence.
Elizondo has claimed to be a director of the now defunct
Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, a
program associated with the Pentagon UFO videos, a claim
supported by a former senator, Harry Reid, but contested by
both reporters and Pentagon officials.
Elizondo has also claimed to have held an array of leadership
posts with the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification
Program, which has also been similarly contested.
Elizondo has subsequently appeared in various media,
including 60 Minutes as a UFO expert course.
We know Louis is all over the place.
Elizondo is the son of Louis Elizondo the Third, a Cuban
exile who volunteered for Brigade 25O6A CIA sponsored
group of exiles formed in 1960 to attempt the military
overthrow of the Cuban government headed by Fidel
Castro, which culminated in the Bay of Pigs invasion.
Born in Texas, his family moved to Sarasota around 1975.
Elizondo graduated from Riverview High School in
Sarasota in 1990, where he was a member of the ROTC program.
I don't know man. It just looks more and more like
these, like these deep state families are generational.
See his parents from from Mexico, Cuba, rather all part of
this Bay of Pigs sayings. We know what happened with
Kennedy over that. In college, Elizondo studied
microbiology, immunology and parasitology.
Sounds like germ warfare study perhaps.
I don't know. I didn't realize he was that far
into biology. He later served in the US Army
for 20 years, during which he ran military intelligence
operations in Afghanistan, South America and Guantanamo base Camp
7. Now these latest allegations
about him possibly of engaging in enhanced interrogations, what
the interrogatees called torture, is what's come out in
this book. I had no idea, it says.
Regarding his military career, Elizondo stated He dealt with a
lot of stuff like coup d'etats, black market terrorism, violent
drug cartels, all that kind of stuff.
Yeah, maybe blocking people up, water boarding, I don't know.
From 2008 until his resignation in 2017, Elizondo worked with
the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for
Intelligence OUSDI in the Pentagon.
Elizondo claims that ending in 2012, he was director of the
Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, a
spatial access program funded at the initiative of then Senator
Majority Harry Reid, Nevada. Yeah.
Didn't Bob Bigelow also have some input on this?
So please explain to me, how did we get from Guantanamo Bay to a
TIP investigating UFOs? I don't know.
Elizondo told a reporter that he thought that he might have been
selected for a TIP because of scientific background, work as
counterintelligence agency, protecting American aerospace
technology and lack of interest and science fiction.
Yeah. Where do they find him at?
According to the Department of Defense, the a TIP program ended
in 2012 after five years. Elizondo claims he worked with
the officials from the US Navy and the CIA out of his Pentagon
office for this program until 2017, when he resigned to
protest what he characterized as excessive secrecy and internal
opposition. Elizondo asserts that under
estimating or ignoring these potential threats is not in the
best interest of the department, no matter the level of political
contention. The New Yorker reports that
Elizondo was hired to take over the program, which was an
outgrowth of a government project awarded to businessman
and paranormal enthusiast Robert Bigelow.
There you go, substantially to examine the future of warfare.
But reporting almost exclusively about UFOs, including a photo of
a supposed tracking device that supposed aliens got supposedly
planted in a supposed abductee. I wonder if you could have got
the word supposed in there anymore.
His position in the ATIP was questioned by The Intercept.
The Intercept, I don't know a lot about these guys, but boy,
they really seem to be coming down on the whistleblowers hard.
We know we just talked yesterday about Grush suing the Sheriff's
Office down in Loudon County, Virginia, and I think that all
started with Intercept getting the details of that arrest,
which he said included his mental health medical records.
His position in the A TIP was questioned by the Intercept and
challenged by Pentagon officials, with spokesperson
Christopher Sherwood saying Elizondo had no responsibilities
with regard to the A Tip program while he worked in OUSDI up
until the time he resigned, effective 10417.
In response, Elizondo filed a complaint with the agency's
Inspector General claiming a coordinated campaign to
discredit him for speaking out, including Pentagon press
statements asserting he had no official role in UFO research
even after his role was officially confirmed.
In the inspector general's report, Elizondo also stated
that he was the target of a personal vendetta from a
Pentagon rival. Senator Reid sent a letter to
NBC News stating I can state as a matter of record Louis
Elizondo's involvement and leadership role in this program.
Very interesting. After resigning from the DoD,
Elizondo in October 2017 joined to the Stars Academy of Arts and
Sciences. Of course, that's Tom the Long's
company. Elizondo also distributed 3
classified videos to the press that were made by pilots from
the United States Navy aircraft carriers USS Nimitz and USS
Theodore Roosevelt, which became known as the Pentagon.
UFO videos. To me, that whole situation was
extremely sketchy. We don't even know the chain of
custody on those videos, how he came into possession of them.
You know what went on there? Lots of rumors they were handed
to him in dependent on parking lot or by him in a Pentagon
parking lot, who knows. But he I guess now is taking
responsibility for distributing those videos.
Their release was accompanied by the 1st mainstream Press
reporting on the existence of a tip course, that's the New York
Times. In April 2017, the Navy
acknowledged drafting new guidelines for pilots and other
personnel to report encounters with unidentified aircraft, and
Elizondo told The Washington Post that it was the single
greatest decision the Navy has made in decades.
The classified nature of the videos and the validity of
Elizondo's authorization to distribute them were questioned.
In April 2020, the United States Department of Defense released
the videos, prompting Elizondo to comment.
We are fueled by the Pentagon's significant actions and hope
this encourages a new wave of credible information to come
forward. According to Gideon Lewis Kraus,
Elizondo initially explained to the Pentagon in the memo that
the videos would help educate pilots and improve prove
aviation safety. But later interviews he stated
that his goal was to shine light on the program he ran for seven
years to collect and analyze reported UFO settings.
After joining to the Stars, Elizondo announced they were
planning to provide never before released footage from real U.S.
government systems. Not blurry amateur photos, but
real data and real videos. Elizondo believes UA PS might be
from another dimension. They might use hydrogen found in
water to warp space-time, and the US government may be in
possession of exotic material associated with UA PS.
Now, Louis said a lot of things that has gotten attention
lately, but one of the things that's got the most attention is
him saying that he was referred to by the attorneys of prisoners
at Guantanamo Bay where he worked as an intelligence
officer, that he was referred to as the Tsar of torture and Darth
Vader. That has a whole new dimension
to Louis character as far as I'm concerned.
Let's get into that next. So this is all over Twitter
right now. I haven't really seen anything
like I said online, but here's the excerpt that's really
getting a lot of attention. This is out of Louis's new book.
It says my work with Guantanamo Bay brought endless rounds of
drama and stress. An attorney for one of the 9/11
suspects labeled me in an open court as the US Czar of Torture.
From that moment, I would forever be branded by some as
the nation's Darth Vader. At one point I was informed that
Europe had issued an open arrest warrant for me and anyone
involved in the notorious Redemption Detention and
Interrogation RDI program of high value detainees.
The International Court of Human Rights had decreed that any U.S.
intelligence officer involved in that effort would face trial if
arrested. From my perspective, I was
serving my country and my president and preventing another
911. So what these guys were doing
was they were just going to foreign countries who maybe
didn't have an extradition treaty with the US, snatching
people they thought were terrorists off the street and
flying them out of the country extrajudicially.
That means against the law to Guantanamo Bay where they could
water board them, apparently put fitting tubes in them, play loud
blurring Hard Rock music 24 hours a day.
A lot of things people call torture now.
Louis apparently was a part of that program.
I guess I didn't realize he was intelligence officer at
Guantanamo Bay. He was an intelligence officer
at Guantanamo Bay and he's talking about it right here.
He was referred to as a czar of torture, said some people called
me the nation's Darth Vader, but I don't.
He didn't care. He says he was serving his
country. That has a whole new dimension
of his character. People are really not taking
this very well. Here's a comment from UFO
detective Dogbert. So Elizondo was a torturer,
czar, believed he was a psyche, misappropriated funds to look
for aliens, leaked Navy footage and lied about what it showed
for personal profit. So basically one of the worst,
most irresponsible people the government has ever employed.
Got it. Yeah.
Not very happy. This is from Skyfire News.
They talk about 9/11 suspects level labeled Lou Elizondo, the
US czar of torture. Lou states he was also branded
the nation's Darth Vader and that Europe issued an arrest
warrant for his work in rendition, detention and
interrogation of high value detainees.
Rendition. I think what they mean by that
actually is kidnapping. OK.
I don't know how long people would put up with it if the
Russian government set teams to the the US to kidnap people they
felt had done things wrong in Russia.
Not so sure about that. Mikwas says prominent Elizondo
is a proponent of torture, which has been demonstrated many times
to be ineffective. He was once labeled in court as
AUS czar of torture and Europe had an open arrest warrant for
him. Wow, yes, people are really
going to the dark side with this stuff and I'm not going there.
I'm just saying he worked there, Louis says.
He was an intelligence officer. Part of his job was to
investigate and interrogate these terror suspects.
And we don't know what all happened there.
You know, this whole thing just seems to be kind of a dark
chapter in American history. And Louis seems to be quite
proud of it. Now.
I think this is going to backfire him.
I think this is going to be kind of like when the South Dakota
governor Christie Noem came out and started talking about
shooting this half half grown dog, this puppy that wouldn't
mind, and while she was at it decided to shoot the goat too.
Remember that book a while back? And she couldn't understand why
people was so disgusted by that. I don't know.
Some people just can't seem to get outside their own skin long
enough to understand that this is a hot button issue in
America. And people love dogs.
They don't mind goats, and they certainly don't like torture.
And things are a lot different than maybe when Louis was down
there. And the attitudes have changed a
lot. We've learned a lot about the
government since then. And I think the trust level's
gone. So here Louis is outing himself
in his in his new book, saying that telling us that he was
referred to as the czar of torture and America's Darth
Vader in regards to his interrogation techniques of
these individuals at Gitmo. And then you have Twitter piling
on. And I mean, piling on, really
taking it to the next level, but it does seem like a lot of times
when you have these situations where people that are engaged in
this sort of enhanced interrogations, it draws in the
bad people. And I'm not saying that Louie's
that way, but boy, the optics on this are so terrible because
he's just associated himself with a bunch of people that I
think that the average, the average jewel in society is not
OK with. And I'm not sure that Louis
understood how much backlash that there would be on this.
I think there's going to be a lot more backlash.
I mean, Louis was acceptable to a lot of people as a UFO expert.
Maybe he's a bit of an entertainer.
But this whole thing with Gitmo, this is a dark chapter.
And I wonder what's how it's going to affect, you know, like
I've talked about in the program before, Gary Nolan actually
blocked me. And I don't even know the guy,
never said anything but nice things about him.
But I suspect it was because I'd cracked a few jokes about Louis
Heights. I couldn't help myself.
But now, I mean, we have something far more, far more
dark than a joke about Louis Height.
I mean, he's coming out and telling us that he worked as an
as an interrogator at Gitmo and he was part of this rendition.
Detention and interrogation of high value detainees.
So that means kidnapping off the street, throwing these guys in a
prison somewhere, and then interrogating them.
And their idea of interrogating apparently is a little more
physical than that of user eyes. So what what will this do to
Louis Elizondo? How will this affect his status
going forward as a UFO expert investigator?
You go to guy member of the proud UFO Mafia.
I don't know. I do know that every time I talk
about Louis or Gary Nolan or any of the other guys that you see
on The History Channel and say anything negative or anything
critical at all, I get some hate mail over it.
But not sure I how I can get hate mail over a guy who says,
yeah, I was called the Azar of Torture and the Darth Vader of
America or the American Darth Vader.
Wow, not sure where this is going at but I thought I'd share
that with you all. Not really a lot of stuff in the
media about it, but it is all over Twitter and I'll tell you,
people are hot on the trail of Louis Elizondo AKA Darth Vader.
Until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
