Dark Journalist Daniel Liszt argues the CIA orchestrated the recent UAP report and Lou Elizondo's prominence to manufacture an extraterrestrial threat narrative, mirroring pandemic strategies for funding and control. He links this to the firing of Mark Esper, the enactment of NSAM 57, and the transfer of Pentagon IP addresses to AS8003 three minutes before Trump's term ended, suggesting a move to neuter CIA covert powers. Citing Peter Dale Scott on Continuity of Government, Liszt contends these actions aim to justify increased defense spending while suppressing genuine disclosure, urging listeners to reject mainstream media complicity in this deep state operation.

X State of the Union00:03:09
And we are live.
We're back once again.
Starting again, we had a double echo going on in here, but we're on and we're good.
And so, what we're doing tonight is we are starting out with X State of the Union.
And this is very important it is UFOs, COG, and the DOD.
And this is basically the way we're going to get into this.
One of the key components to looking at this is that there have been a series of incidents that have taken place just in the past week.
That are going to really give us an eye opening experience about what was taking place at the end of last year and how these two things come together, along with the idea that we're getting a huge UAP report coming out in June from the federal government, the Senate Intelligence Committee, and everyone is all whipped up about this in the media and in the UFO community.
A real setup for all the things that are going on with the CIA spinning the whole UFO threat.
So there we are.
It's a great crowd there tonight.
And thank you for all the birthday wishes.
It's much appreciated.
And at the end, I'll make a birthday wish with all of you.
Okay.
And I shouted out earlier that Groovy Bean is running the ideas room along with Kat.
And of course, the lovely Olivia is not with us tonight, but she will be back on Friday with X Series 100 Part 3, which is going to go really deep.
And we're going to be taking your questions then.
So that's really something that we're going to be looking forward to.
So the actual State of the Union, which they didn't want to call the State of the Union this time by President, and I say it loosely, Biden, was on Wednesday.
And it was the longest wait.
For a president to address both houses of Congress.
And when both houses of Congress showed up, it was only one fifth of the actual chamber body, which is kind of a disgrace when you really think about it.
Then, when we go further, we're actually looking at the very strange speech that Biden gave you know, another $6 trillion in that budget and looking for a domestic terrorism bill and just kind of losing his way and shuffling.
Through his statements, along with a very unusual spectacle of Nancy Pelosi behind him on one side, and of course Kamala Harris on the other, Nancy just looking kind of crazy, and Kamala ethically challenged.
So, this is the nature of this situation that we're in.
But I wanted to deliver the real state of the union here tonight because there are a lot of things going on in America that are affecting the world dramatically, along with this UAP report and all the draconian lockdowns and the things that we've been seeing.
CIA UFO Operations00:15:29
So, We have to take that into consideration that they're all related.
So when people have you running around saying, oh, you know, we need UFO disclosure like their life depended on it, government CIA UFO disclosure doesn't have very much to do with actual UFO disclosure at all.
As a matter of fact, they've been the biggest obstacle for the past 75 years, you know, getting into this.
So let's start there.
And then the idea that the Central Intelligence Agency, a body which is designed for counterintelligence, for lying, and for covert work, and who has taken their mandate to kind of spy on the world, to spy on Americans, the idea that you get the truth from the CIA on the UFO file is a joke.
And those UFO researchers who would go along with that are making themselves look ridiculous.
And, um, So, I want to say right off the bat, there are three or four significant UFO researchers that come up tonight.
And when we do this type of reporting, when people come into that reporting, it's nothing personal.
And this is an important thing, which is we're trying to look at what's taking place on the media side, what the CIA is driving as a UFO narrative.
So, those UFO researchers who are in the middle of that, they just happen to be there.
There's no, I haven't chosen them for any.
Highlighted them for any particular fault.
It's just that they're in the story and it plays out as part of the story.
And I feel like it's a weakness on the part of the UFO field that they haven't thrown the CIA out of it.
So we have to point that out.
And it's nothing personal, it is just part of the job of journalism as we go.
And one of the key factors in all this, of course, is the elevation of Lou Elizondo, the CIA agent, who Really came out very, very unusually with a narrative in 2017 that he had been the leader of this ATIP, Advanced Aerial Threat Identification Program, for a number of years and saying he was the leader of it.
And then a lot of unusual pieces came about as a result of him coming out and then the TTSA rolling him out.
And now we see the TTSA in complete disarray, the To the Stars Academy, the Tom DeLong. UFO setup that had more CIA people than you can imagine on the board openly.
It's not somebody's theory.
It's just, you know, they had actual CIA agents on the executive board and over 100 years of CIA experience on that board, just a CIA operation.
Anyone who says anything else is being disingenuous.
But this is very important because Lou got elevated.
I think what's been going on is they've been sprawling out of this TTSA thing, trying to figure out what we can do.
And they Finally, decided after pushing Lou and pushing Tom and pushing Harry Reid and pushing Chris Mellon and pushing Jim Semyvan that it really wasn't working.
So, this is the final run.
It looks like Elizondo out there with CIA backing, completely running from TTSA, which is in massive debt and whose unidentified show was canceled due to low ratings.
So, Lou is there, and Lou is a counterintelligence agent for the CIA.
He worked For the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, and also for John Brennan, aka the Drone King, who was Obama's CIA director.
The Brennan piece is particularly interesting to me as Brennan is one of the most unethical people that's ever gotten into government.
And he got this nickname, the Drone King, because his fascination was to go after one terrorist.
He would bomb an entire wedding party there in Afghanistan to get one guy.
And very often, you know.
They wouldn't even get the one guy they were aiming for.
So he just called that the cost of doing business and collateral damage is the official term.
But that kind of drone happy behavior gives the United States an intensely bad reputation in that part of the world, namely the Middle East, the Far East.
But John Brennan was one of those guys who was gung ho for this.
But when John Brennan started to push the UFO issue, saying that we need to get out there and do this, and he was a former CIA director, and then James Woolsey came out recently and said, oh, we have to get to this UFO threat.
And then, you know, we start having this whole James Clapper, all these people now are interested in UFO disclosure.
Suddenly, these CIA people who have kept these secrets for years and made any legitimate researchers in the field targets of that program.
We have to be very suspect and not, you know, reaching for UFO disclosure through those people.
And right now, the focus of those people is Lou Elizondo, who they all.
He's worked for all of them in some capacity.
So we have to look at that as a CIA UFO op.
And this is quite interesting considering we're coming up to this June date where they're supposed to release all this material.
And the key point person on that UAP task force, a Senate Intelligence Committee, is Marco Rubio.
He's the one who's insisting that UAP task force share all this information.
By the way, they're not mandated to share any of it with the public.
So a lot of this could be a huge bust.
But in any case, they certainly are in a position where they could roll out some form of this false UFO threat disclosure, which is where they're heading, as we'll see.
So I'm going to get into that tonight.
The other piece that is absolutely fascinating is the DOD mystery and then the COG tie in to that.
And it concerns the transference of $57 million.
Internet addresses, three minutes before President Biden was sworn in, and it was the last three minutes of President Trump's administration.
This is such an unusual story, and I think we'll really get into the intrigue of the continuity of government program and moves against it that President Trump was making at the end of his administration.
Some of those moves involved firing Defense Secretary Mark Esper and elevating people in the administration like Ezra Cohen.
Who helped President Trump enact National Security Action Memorandum 57?
We're also going to address the media's, driven by the CIA, fascination with the UFO topic, their sudden fascination with everything to do with it and how they are spinning it.
And it's always threat, threat, threat.
I want to remind you to go to the Dark Journalist website at darkjournalist.com and sign up for our newsletter.
Of course, we've seen all sorts of truth shows.
Really thrown out wholesale.
Any kind of critical thinking show has been scrapped in some way or another.
And we've had our share of censorship on Twitter and other platforms, but we're still active here and on Twitter and on Facebook.
So we somehow are trying to navigate that as best we can.
But in any case, the best way for us to stay in touch is the newsletter.
So let's make sure that you're on that newsletter list.
And basically, what's going to happen is you'll get an email about once a week.
About the incredible interviews and shows that we have coming up for you.
And that'll keep us in touch.
And of course, it's a free newsletter.
So make sure that you do that.
And so, what I want to start off with tonight is ESPR, actually, and Trump's firing of ESPR.
And that's going to set up everything else about the UAP task force.
It's going to help us understand the COG aspect and this very strange purchase of all these domains.
All right.
So, something very strange happened on November 9th, which was just a few days after the election.
And that was Trump fired ESPR, Mark ESPR, as the Pentagon chief.
And this was very interesting and unexpected because.
You know, at the end of an administration, sometimes people will resign or move on to other jobs, but there's very little firing that takes place.
In one of the shows that I did with Dr. Joseph Farrell, we surmised that something had gone on during October when Trump supposedly got the coronavirus, and they had tried, they'd been rolling out continuity of government COG players in a strange way all year.
I should just explain, and people who watch the program are very familiar with continuity of government.
I always recommend the work of Professor Peter Dale Scott if you really want to know about it.
Pick up a book called American Deep State and The Road to 9 11.
These types of books are going to really give you that background because it's Professor Scott who's really studied it.
I found that others who have studied it, like a writer over at Newsweek named Arkin, leaves out all the good.
Stuff.
And as a matter of fact, went ballistic when I pointed a few things out to him on Twitter about the sources he was using.
It's actually Professor Scott who is interested in giving the truth to people and his incredible research over six decades into things like the JFK assassination, cocaine politics, Gary Webb.
He has the full panorama.
And of course, we've had him here many times on the show and hope to have him back soon.
But Professor Scott introduced me.
To the continuity of government program.
And the continuity of government is a program that exists inside the government, initially created during the Eisenhower administration to help us survive in the event of a nuclear attack.
This is quite significant because it helped create an entire underground infrastructure, which later on would become a major power base or a major tool for whoever could.
Use it to their advantage.
One of the things that Professor Scott has pointed out is that everything that has happened on the deep event side, from the JFK assassination to 9 11 to Watergate to the Iran Contra affair to the October surprise, there's always a continuity of government representative at the very heart of it.
Winston Lawson, of course, was the Secret Service agent who was using the continuity of government White House emergency communications during.
The setup to the assassination in Dallas of President Kennedy in 1963.
John Dean had served in the continuity of government program before working for Nixon.
James McCord was another one who was a Watergate burglar.
And, you know, this whole thing that was happening, there were a lot of continuity of government players.
Oliver North, of course, in the Iran-Contra affair, he was part of the changing of the continuity of government from just a nuclear emergency to any emergency, which is a very crucial change right when FEMA came in.
So, the continuity of government program has always operated as a kind of parallel government just in case.
And the suggestion goes that since now, at this point, it operates so far outside of any kind of oversight that it can be used by any kind of deep state force to manipulate the situations far outside of the realm of the Constitution, which is the main fear in looking at the continuity of government program.
It also has this incredible tie in now.
With 9 11, where it was activated, and we got Northcom, the Northern Command, which basically runs the United States in the event of continuity of government being activated, which it was on 9 11.
And we've been under some form of continuity of government emergency rules since the September 11th Emergency Powers Act.
So we have to deal with it as a reality, not so much as a weird superstition of some supervillain stalking around, but Really get the reality of what this government entity is all about and not just think of it as, oh, you know,
it's some fail safe and whatever, because it's certainly, you know, we've done many shows on it, but just in a nutshell, it's proven itself to be an incredibly powerful force for changing American policy in the world.
And having that presence of COG people at every major deep event in the history of the United States since the 1960s.
Definitely tells us that the minute you get into COG terrain, you're dealing with continuity of government players, something very strange.
Now, it was brought up and mentioned during the Iran Contra hearings in 1987.
And there was a senator there who will be one of the senators who will enact this ATIP program, Senator Daniel Inouye.
And as soon as Oliver North mentioned it as a defense, saying, I was using the continuity of government protocols.
They leapt up and said, You can't say anything about that, you know, and it was just complete untouchable.
Strange thing happened along the way during 2020 and during the COVID crisis and the hype and the incredible over the top emergency powers and governors threatening martial law and things that we're still seeing, of course.
That whole piece now that we saw suddenly.
In the media, they started to talk about continuity of government.
And they were using it as a kind of a Trump thing like, could we remove Trump and insert government, continuity of government, if Trump gets COVID?
And this was the big thing that was going on.
And in October, when President Trump did get COVID, he was absolutely insistent on keeping the powers of the government.
But what he saw was that ESPR had been working behind the scenes to elevate.
Counterbalancing COG Powers00:16:21
General Van Herk to the spot of combatant commander of Northcom, meaning the leader of COG.
And there's something that took place behind the scenes there because when Trump did a video, there was some very unusual optics in that video as if he were on a ship.
And so something was awry there that was going on.
And then when the election's over, Esper gets fired.
And he had installed this General Van Herk.
General Van Herk.
Comes out of the 509th unit.
This is the same unit going way back that actually found the Roswell wreckage.
And that's where Jesse Marcel came from.
There's a strange thread of a lineage there with the COG UFO aspect.
And it has to be something that we pay close attention to if we're going to understand what was going on behind the scenes.
Now, when we look at what President Trump did in firing Esper, he is really shaking up that entire scene.
But he also elevates a fairly obscure official named Ezra Cohen.
And then he enacts National Security Action Memorandum 57, which was something that President Kennedy left on the books to neuter the CIA and diminish their role to support, basically, to what they were originally supposed to be.
So that National Security Action Memorandum 57, we did a lot of reporting on.
And it was, I think, you know, it took a lot for people to really drink this in that Trump was enacting this thing.
And they did get it, and it became something that was widely shared.
This is some of the reporting we did at the time.
Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Ezra Cohen Watnick speaks on President Trump activating JFK National Security Action Memorandum 57, which now puts special operations forces under the Secretary of Defense.
This is a huge move, and it removes the covert action from the CIA and puts it directly under the Department of Defense.
That was in November.
Also.
And that's Ezra Cohen Watnick speaking on JFK's National Security Action Memorandum.
What Kennedy was trying to accomplish, and it's very interesting if we spend a little time on the history here, which is Kennedy, when he got into office, he couldn't believe after the Bay of Pigs and the things that the CIA had done to lure him into a war with Cuba, which would get them into a larger war with Russia at the time.
So he enacted National Security Action Memorandum 57.
It's 55, 56, and 57, actually, but 57 is the key one, which says the Central Intelligence Agency does not have anything but a support role in covert operations, and so they can't do these types of things.
And what happened was the Joint Chiefs were threatened by the CIA at the time, and they didn't, you know, it didn't work out well.
Basically, they tabled this order, and by the time Kennedy was assassinated, it got lost.
It is on the books.
It's a factor.
You can even find it at the JFK Library, which comes up a few times tonight.
But what President Kennedy was basically saying was, after being briefed by Eisenhower and Truman, is that the Central Intelligence Agency has taken too much authority unto itself.
Now, we've gone into the history of the CIA here on a number of occasions, but in essence, instead of being a military unit or even a military support unit, it was founded by Wall Street lawyers.
And it became basically a vessel of international finance.
That has to be understood about the CIA.
Its original role, which Truman gave it, was intelligence gathering for the president.
That's literally all they're supposed to do.
It's become a huge, burgeoning bureaucracy.
And, you know, they've gone way beyond their mandates, as the Department of Homeland Security now has too.
So between the two of them were.
Teetering right into a kind of a fascist reality.
On a number of occasions, the CIA has been brought before the Senate, the Church Committee activities in the 70s, in the 80s during the Iran Contra affair, William Casey's activities in Central America.
So we're getting into this, and we're starting to see that this out of control organ of the government acting in an extra constitutional fashion, and no one can stop it.
Literally, because they've got their fingers into everything.
So, Kennedy's major attempt was to get this National Security Action Memorandum 57 into the system, and that would prevent them from being able to do these types of covert activities without being under the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs.
This was a crucial difference to what we got, unfortunately, lacking that.
And, you know, if you go through the 1950s, you'll see with our bends in Guatemala, You'll see with Mossadegh in Iran, which America has said openly the CIA caused the overthrow of the government there in Iran and even apologized for it under the Obama administration.
Of course, then Obama went in and overthrew the Libyan, you know, so we hadn't learned any lessons at all.
And Libya is, in fact, a failed state because of those activities, thanks to Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State and President Obama, who ended up being basically a clerk for the banks and the bankers at the time.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist ex State of the Union.
Yes, President Biden gave a joint address to Congress.
They would not call it the State of the Union, which is very unusual.
But of course, they don't believe in a Union at all.
They would be very happy with a Civil War because it would break up the liabilities of the United States that they still owe to all these generations.
And as Catherine Austin Fitz is fond of saying, those missing trillions would just go away, as it were, and the accountability would go away.
So.
When we finally got this, and remember, no president has ever waited that long.
Usually they're done at the end of January after a president gets in or early February, but never anything like this.
This is beyond bizarre.
And I think that they've tried a number of drugs with Biden, and we'll get into that further as time goes.
But there's definitely something highly unusual about Biden's behavior being liquid at times and then at other times being just a sputtering idiot, and they have to grab him off the podium.
That's a dangerous image for the United States of America, for sure.
And I feel that there was a kind of a, you know, when you looked at this State of the Union that President Biden was giving, this joint address, it looked like a caricature of an actual address to Congress, especially since only, you know, no one was there, basically.
And they had set it up that way on purpose.
They've done a lot of these optics, and we need to get to the point of that.
I think it is to make America look weak and diminished.
And these people at the top, of course, are playing along.
Now, let's get into how this relates to something that happened just this week.
So, we went over the fact that President Trump activated JFK's National Security Action Memorandum 57 to basically neuter the CIA.
Here we go.
President Trump elevated Ezra Watnick Cohen along with some other people.
And there were lots and lots of changes at the end of the Trump administration, which no administration has ever done.
Usually they just kind of leave things and they take a few people who resign, and that's it.
But in fact, here it was incredibly active.
And when I've gone into it, I've never, you won't find a president as active after the election.
Trump loyalists elevated to powerful roles at the Pentagon after firing of Defense Secretary Esper.
This is crucial, and we need to keep it in mind as we go along here.
The Pentagon elevated Trump loyalists to powerful positions a day after the sudden termination of Defense Secretary Mark Esper.
This was Tuesday, November 10th.
The moves also followed the resignations of multiple senior officials in the Defense Department.
In a lengthy statement Tuesday afternoon, the Pentagon said that Anthony Tata, Ezra Cohen Watnick, and Kash Patel had been promoted to key roles.
All three of those individuals have shown a disdain for the Central Intelligence Agency's role in covert activities.
The person that ESPR had elevated and why I think Trump fired him to the combatant commander of NORTHCOM was General Van Herk, who I mentioned earlier, who comes out of the 509th and is now the combatant commander of the United States.
That is, if COG is activated, He is the leading general to implement.
So he would be the combatant commander of the entire United States.
And, you know, he would set up the conditions where, under emergency rule, he would be the go to man.
So he's a very important person for us to get a handle and get our awareness around.
So here's the tie in that comes about this week because it was such a mystery that Trump had done all these things at the end of his administration.
But here's one that we didn't know about, and we're going to find out why.
Minutes before Trump left office, millions of Pentagon's dormant IP addresses sprang to life.
That's the Washington Post just this week.
And this was kind of the light version of the story.
After decades of not using a huge chunk of the Internet, the Pentagon has given control of millions of computer addresses to a previously unknown company in an effort to identify possible cyber vulnerabilities.
This is the cover story because.
They got caught not knowing what this was all about.
And this is something that Trump enacted three minutes before Biden took office.
Think about that.
This is something that was meant to be a Trump covert up.
It was a move, I believe, to counterbalance the continuity of government powers.
I'm going to explain that.
Trump actually got into an interesting situation there.
Let's find out a little more about this.
Pentagon explains odd transfer of 175 million IP addresses to obscure company.
There it is again, and the old kind of soft explanation about this, which doesn't make any sense at all, about cybersecurity.
Something weird happened minutes before Trump left.
US says it was security research.
That doesn't add up.
The US Department of Defense puzzled internet experts by apparently transferring control of tens of millions of dormant IP addresses.
To an obscure Florida in the hot zone, Mar a Lago, all the rest.
Company just before President Donald Trump left the White House, but the Pentagon has finally offered a partial explanation for why it happened security research.
Let's go a little bit deeper with this, and then I'm going to show how it relates to the continuity of government program.
The actual article which explains it after all these fluff articles with the New York Times and the Washington Post is something, and this was reported in Cryptogon.
By the way, which I want to recommend to everyone, C R Y P T O G O N.com.
Excellent news site.
This guy is always on top of it.
Highly recommend him.
I believe he's in New Zealand.
That much we know.
The mystery of AS8003.
This is going to be a huge story if we get into it.
AS8003.
April 24th.
The site is called the Kentik Blog, K E N T I K. On January 20th, 2021, a great mystery appeared in the internet's global routing table.
An entity that hadn't been heard from in over a decade began announcing large swaths of formerly unused IPv4 address space belonging to the U.S. Department of Defense.
Using registered as AS8003, that's the name that they give themselves, they began announcing, among other things, large DoD IP for ranges.
Now, we're not going to get into all the technical gobbledygook about this, although I know a lot of what they're talking about because I ran a tech magazine for 10 years.
Basically, the Department of Defense owns the largest amount of the internet.
So, what happened was they had this space that was hanging out there with all these assigned names.
And then, in one gigantic move, they privatized them into this company.
And we're going to see how this happened.
They even have the timestamp.
The message above has a timestamp of 1657 UTC, 1157 AM Eastern Time, January 20th, 2021, moments after the swearing in of Joe Biden as the President of the United States and minutes before the statutory end of the administration.
Of Donald Trump at noon Eastern Time, the questions that started to surface included who is AS8003?
Why are they announcing huge amounts of IPv4 space, basically web space, belonging to the US Department of Defense?
And perhaps most interestingly, why did it come alive within the final three minutes of the Trump administration?
Very good question.
AS8003 was announcing about 56 million IPv4 addresses, making it the sixth largest AS in the IP global routing table.
Sixth largest internet holder of space by original address space.
By mid April, AS8003 dramatically increased the amount of formerly unused DOD address space that it announced 175 million unique addresses.
IP addresses.
Think about that, 175 million.
It's a huge chunk of the internet.
We know one of the largest internet users is CERN.
This has to be the largest chunk of actual unique addresses.
Following this increase, AS8003 became far and away the largest holder in AS in the history of the internet as measured by originated IP space.
Comcast's Cyber Dominance00:03:30
By comparison, AS8003 now announces 61 million more IP addresses than the largest, the second biggest AS in the world, China Telecom.
And over 100 million more addresses than Comcast.
So, Comcast holds 100 million less IP addresses than this weird AS8003 that no one seems to know about.
And Comcast is the largest residential internet provider in the United States.
So, you know, this thing is gigantic.
In terms of the web, it's like someone just claimed a country, a continent.
In fact, in April 2021, AS8003 is announcing so much IP space that 5.7% of the entire IP global routing table is presently originated by AS8003.
In other words, more than one out of every 20 IP addresses is presently originated by an entity that didn't even appear in the routing table at the beginning of the year.
So this thing came out of nowhere.
It's now a huge force on the internet and it's growing.
Rapidly, but it was all enacted by the Trump administration three minutes before they left.
Now, there's a lot of little pieces there with AS 8003, but one of the things that Trump was attempting to do, as he's done before with the Space Force in relation to the UFO file, is counterbalancing the continuity of government forces, which were almost used to oust him in October.
Before they got to this election aspect where they were able to, you know, kind of rearrange things in order to remove Trump, they got into a kind of a strange situation, shall we say.
I'm just going to clear up.
There's just a little bit of.
There we go.
Perfection.
I noticed that a little bit sometimes with the pictures, it'll get a little fuzzy.
But in any case, what we need to do.
Is start to understand that Trump is one of the major counterpunchers.
So when he saw this whole situation gaining steam around continuity of government, and he fired certain people at the Pentagon who had allowed that to happen and elevated others who were against that type of structure.
They've also talked about the idea, you know, they were leading up to the idea in the media and elsewhere that maybe Trump would use continuity of government himself to kind of seize martial law and things like that.
But actually, what I think he was doing was counterbalancing the powers of COG.
And this grab of all these addresses gives them basically the power of a cyber COG.
And the way that I look at it is Trump, you know, as in his push for the Space Force grabbing the UFO file back under presidential power, just like the National Security Action Memorandum 57 being activated to.
Make the CIA a support organization.
The Power of Cyber COG00:03:13
AS 8003 is another move.
It's a move to counterbalance the influence of the continuity of government program by controlling so much of the cyber assets in that web space.
So that in the event that all internet communications were suspended, for example, there's this other entity that can still be active.
This is how I see it.
And I'm going to show how we can kind of wrap this into the UAP report that's coming out and how these things all work together.
Remember, The name of this episode is UFO COG and the Mystery of the DOD AS 8003.
So, those things all, to me, tie completely together.
It's like a Connect the Dots program if we're taking it, really giving it a shot.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist program.
It's a great crowd with us.
This is a Saturday night show, and I wanted to get these details together for you, or else we would have had the show last night.
And we're going to have part three of the.
X100 episode, which is going to be absolutely crucial next Friday.
And of course, we'll have the lovely Olivia back for that as well.
Her fan mail folder is growing exponentially.
I want to remind everyone to go to darkjournalist.com and sign up for our newsletter.
This is something where we're going to just stay in touch with each other, and it's going to be, you know, in the event that we see those types of draconian aspects.
You know, there's been a lot of Shadow banning of the Dark Journalist show and the numbers and all sorts of things for a long time, actually.
But we're still here and we're still doing it.
So we're going to try to maintain that in the event that there are issues around that, you know, and that this space gets more and more difficult on a daily basis.
We've seen them, you know, just in a big frenzy to censor anything that has anything to do with the truth.
It's going to be very important that we have that pipeline directly with each other.
So make sure you go to darkjournalist.com and sign up.
For that newsletter.
It's a free newsletter, but it'll definitely keep us in touch.
And I want to mention that we're not taking questions tonight, but next week on next Friday, we will have a full QA as part of that episode.
As I mentioned, we have Groovy Bean out there running the ideas room, and Kat is out there as well, and just a fantastic group in the ideas room tonight.
Now, Here's where we're going to go next because we're going to lean in between this strange op that took place from COG and Trump and the other side, the UAP threat program, the announcement for June, and all the rest.
Right in between is a very strange corridor that has to do with the suggestion of an accidental war or war being set off.
Kissinger and Nuclear War00:05:16
And this comes from our friend Henry Kissinger.
This is the kind of stuff that gets missed in the middle of all this, but on the Kissinger side, they're always working trial balloons, and we're always seeing trial balloons as a result of people not knowing exactly how far the public, you know, exactly what they'll accept.
So we saw with the great lockdowns, with the great, you know, hijacking of the medical crisis into a whole fascist organization, that they were trying to use that basically to give them.
The ability to just announce martial law.
What's been happening instead is there's been sufficient pushback and they've been looking at other ops.
And I know that they've had these backups and these contingency plans just ready to go.
And I'm fond of saying if you thought that the Corona op was hardcore, just wait till the UFO threat op is fully activated because that thing is going to be, they've been planning that one for quite a while.
Kissinger, 97 years old, and has been at the center of our foreign policy machine since the 50s, most notably during the Nixon administration in the Vietnam War.
But he's been in there throughout.
Kissinger warns of colossal dangers in US China tensions.
This is very interesting because the tensions really with China only came through the Trump administration.
The Biden administration is so cozy with the Chinese government, and they are, you know, the Democratic Party has become basically a vassal of the CCP, unfortunately.
And I don't say that with any delight.
I've, you know, it's very unfortunate to speak to real Democrats, liberal Democrats who understand those policies and what they meant to America, and see all that slip away into this Chinese bot.
You know, bought out politicians and bought out policies.
So, we also need to understand that China, as China, we can't just look at them as China.
Obviously, the Davos crowd is pulling their strings and looking for the world government edge.
But nonetheless, Kissinger's comments become very interesting, especially this For the first time in human history, humanity has the capacity to extinguish itself in a finite period of time, Kissinger said.
We've developed the technology of a power that is beyond what anyone even imagined 70 years ago.
Yeah, pretty much.
Tell us something we don't know.
This is the key part.
And now to the nuclear issue is added the high tech issue, which is in the field of artificial intelligence.
In its essence, it's based on the fact that man becomes a partner of machines, the transhumanism, and that machines can develop their own judgment.
Now, this is fundamentally the plot of the Terminator movies, of course, which is that the machines decided at a certain point to do away with humanity.
But the idea that they hadn't built fail safes into these machines so that they couldn't make up their own mind to go to a nuclear war, they're floating this idea out there through one of the most elder national security figures in history that's still alive.
So that's done on purpose.
And it's to get a feel and a reaction.
Oh, well, Kissinger said AI could set off a nuclear conflagration.
It's already something where they're floating it out there.
Quote So, in a military conflict between high tech powers, it's of colossal significance.
This is Kissinger basically saying look, all those policies that Trump enacted that push back the Chinese, you better roll those back and roll back the tariffs and let China really roll the roost again because.
We don't want to engage them in a nuclear war.
And heaven forbid, AI might just take off on its own and do this on its own, which means that they're thinking that in their own mind that they can pull that off, which is a nuclear exchange, even a small one.
Let's say over islands in the South Sea or something like that, and that they could say, Oh, the AI did it, we had nothing to do with it.
So, these are the types of things that are very unusual.
I've never ever heard Henry Kissinger talk about AI setting off a nuclear war using its own judgment.
So, he's using it as a threat to that global establishment, saying to America, You know, the globalists basically turning to America and saying, You better play ball with China or else.
This AI scenario of nuclear war could be enacted.
Hemingway's Cuban Vault00:08:05
So that's something that came right in between these two major stories and kind of fell through the cracks.
I don't think anyone even noticed that he said it, except I found it in this foreign policy journal.
So now let's start to figure out what's going on here.
And I want to do something here without making it seem like we're pumping ourselves up.
But on a few occasions now, we've pointed things out.
That were going to hit the mainstream.
And it took a while.
And when we presented them in the mainstream and in other places, there was pushback saying, well, there's no evidence for this, et cetera, et cetera.
One of the key ones, of course, was the relationship between Trump and Nixon, revealed early in 2018 in the X series here, and based on all the research that we had done observing the close relationship between Trump and Nixon.
In September of 2020, we got the story letters between Trump and Nixon reveal previously unknown relationship.
I'm fond of saying if you were watching the X series, you knew about that relationship and you were two years ahead of the crowd.
This is significant because we need to be able to be ahead of the curve on these things to understand what's playing out, especially when we're dealing with the kind of draconian leaders and the lockdown measures and all these things.
And even if they've said, oh, we're going to loosen them up.
You know, or the CDC says, Hey, you know, you can walk outside without a mask.
Well, gee, thanks.
You know, they enacted that here in Massachusetts, but you still see people walking around with a mask anyway.
So I think they just, you know, are addicted to their slavery.
Another one came up, and this is very important because they did a major overview on Hemingway on PBS, Ken Burns, and it was long overdue, of course.
There's so many strange things.
Lingering about Hemingway's presence in the hot zone, which I've attributed to his search for Atlantis there in the hot zone, which is a massive geopolitical issue, as we've explained on this program.
Well, we talked all about how those records ended up at the JFK Library.
Nobody seemed to understand that there was a huge, the largest Hemingway wing is at the JFK Library here in Boston.
Well, The Ken Burns article brought it to the front, and the Associated Press reported JFK Library has a behind the scenes role in Hemingway documentary.
Again, you know, this is very key that the research that we had done had brought this forward, and I'm glad that they're using those records because they have access to letters and all these other things.
You will note that in Cuba, there's still large scale letters, books, you know, all sorts of manuscripts and things.
That are not available to the public and that you can make appointments for, and which are actually at this point not available to anyone.
And we've explained the very unusual nature of Hemingway's presence down there and how JFK almost risked an international incident.
I mean, he did risk an international incident in order to get Hemingway's vault out of Cuba.
This was the episode that we did in 2018 on it, and that's part of a whole series on the Hot Zone, JFK and the Hemingway ex Enigma.
I want to point that out because it's going to set us up.
To understand the types of things that I'm going to lay out tonight in relation to the UAP aspect and what the CIA is doing with it, to give you some idea that we understand these things before they come up, you know, and we certainly try to do that.
But the key aspect is this is a very important one for us to get right because we can't fall into the trap of false CIA disclosure.
It would be disastrous, in fact.
A remarkable shot of Ernest there.
And I think the series that they did on Ernest Hemingway, although it didn't get into any of the Hot Zone aspects, there's enough information there that if you put the research that we did on the Hot Zone and Hemingway's presence there and his association with the Casey family and Bimini and Ruins Rising and Les Hemingway, his brother's founding of New Atlantis, then these things all start to make a heck of a lot more sense.
There's actually something quite ridiculous.
When you get around Hemingway research, which is, they say, well, you know, he had this incredibly equipped boat.
It was scientifically equipped, it was cutting edge, and it searched the bottom of the Atlantic down there in the hot zone, right between Bimini and Cuba.
And the general idea is, oh, he was looking for Nazi U boats.
Look, this boat that Hemingway was on didn't have any weapons, none.
So, if you're going to search out Nazi U boats and find them, what are you going to do if you find a Nazi submarine down there?
You're not going to be able to do anything, and they will blow you out of the water.
So, we're looking at something quite unusual in that he spent all of this time in its historical record that he did it, and he did it with this incredibly well scientifically equipped ship.
And then it becomes a question why?
And I've put this together with his brother's role.
As a newsman in that period in a submarine, reporting on these battles underwater and things, and the two of them looking for these ruins of an ancient civilization.
That, if you put that piece together, then you get a much larger picture of Hemingway and all the rest.
And that's all I'll say in this episode about Hemingway.
But it is quite remarkable.
And there is the document that came out in 2015, which shows that Kennedy was, in fact, Discussing a major event that was going to take place at Finca Vajilla, which was the incredible place that Hemingway was staying in in Cuba.
And the national security event, in fact, when they went back and they checked with Kennedy historians like Arthur Schlesinger and others, no one knew what it was.
And officially, no one still knows what it was, but in fact, it was this effort to get.
The vault out of there, and they did smuggle it back to America on a shrimp boat.
And this is where so much of this came from.
Now, we have covered this in other episodes, but it's important to keep it in mind that when these things come about, when we try to go deep at the research, we have the ability to jump ahead time wise to see how things will play out.
We bring the information forward.
And then, as we can see, in many cases, a lot of that information becomes mainstream news later.
So, as opposed to just getting heavily into You know, a kind of speculative mode.
I'm trying to show that the deep research, in fact, is propelling us to understand these things before they happen.
That's a big key in the X series.
And it's going to be a big key in this X State of the Union in the next piece that we give you here.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist show.
Air Force Secrecy00:14:31
Great to have you here on Saturday night.
It's a remarkable night, and it's just a huge crowd.
We are going to maybe do another half hour, I would say.
And, um, As I mentioned, we're going to be coming back next Friday with X100 Part 3.
So that's going to be quite good.
We have Groovy Bean out there running the show in the ideas room and just great, a lot of familiar faces out there.
Tonight, we had the very strange Biden address to Congress, which they wouldn't call the State of the Union, which is very unusual.
And also the announcement of the UAP report and Lou Elizondo everywhere.
Right, just pushed out there wholesale.
You couldn't get away from this guy if you tried.
The CIA has dumped the TTSA, they're using Elizondo Direct as the point man, along with a couple of satellites around him.
This is what they want to go with.
What they're looking for is a UFO threat narrative.
That is, there's a UFO threat, we need to have a budget allocated to it, we need to have all these resources to it, you need to be afraid of it.
Run for the hills.
Will protect you.
And by the way, the aliens are dangerous and have viruses and all the rest.
So you could say that the coronavirus op is very, very similar and is a really good setup for the extraterrestrial threat op.
Okay, let's do this.
Let's go into some classic pieces around the UFO file to understand what's going on here.
This is very interesting.
It has to do with early research in the 1950s around the UFO file.
Someone who was in the Air Force was Donald Kehoe, and he was a major there and had connections off the charts.
He was the one who wanted UFO disclosure in the 50s and who they just ridiculed over and over again.
His quote, which I think is very important for us to keep in mind, Quote, during my long investigation of these strange objects, I've seen many reports verified by Air Force intelligence, detailed accounts by Air Force pilots, radar operators, and other trained observers proving that UFOs are high speed craft, superior to anything built on Earth.
Now, that's 1957.
Okay.
Fast forward 65, 64 years later.
They have somebody coming out and saying for the UAP task force, Elizondo, oh, there are UFOs, high speed craft, superior to anything built on Earth.
Kehoe was saying in the 1950s.
How is what Elizondo was saying any kind of revelation of any kind?
It's not.
That is Donald Kehoe, and the quote there I think sets things up dramatically.
Kehoe was a key figure.
He also gave testimony at a number of congressional committees about UFOs, and he was astonished at the amount of lying that the CIA and the Air Force were doing in relation to.
The UFO file, things got so out of hand that at a certain point when he was talking on a program on CBS in 1958, they actually were censoring him.
This is very significant because, you know, when we look back at that period, there was a Cold War hysteria, and they could always rely on that as an answer for hushing up the UFO file aspect.
But we have to go back there and see there was a whole disclosure wave.
The government had spoken about it.
They just said it's not a national security threat, so we don't have to really allocate the time and resources to it.
That's the way that they did it.
They've changed their mind over the years after ridiculing it, after saying, oh, it was just us and all the rest.
They've decided we can use this.
You know, UFOs were the top search in 2019 on Google.
They decided, you know what?
People are interested in this.
Let's use it.
We've got the ability to spin this.
We'll never give them the truth, but they don't know that.
This is a very significant piece.
One of the things I want to point out about Kehoe, I did it in a program that we did at X Series show on Lindbergh.
And Lindbergh has a huge connection with the UFO file, dramatic.
And this is something which the UFO community is very blase about.
I have no idea.
Whenever I research things, you know, like the Watergate lawyer Douglas Caddy coming forward and saying that the top, you know, CIA super spy, E. Howard Hunt, Told him that President Kennedy had been assassinated over the UFO file and wanting to share it with the Russians.
The UFO community runs around after Elizondo and they say, ah, he raised his eyebrows when he mentioned alien bodies.
So they just like to waste time, really.
And it's not good research.
And the key aspects, the fact that Lindbergh was very involved with the Roswell incident, for example, which we brought forward on this program, A high ranking figure, a Watergate lawyer, came forward and talked about the Kennedy assassination being the result of UFO secrecy.
You know, there's a great interest in our audience.
There's a great interest in these very important points because in the ideas room, we have that class of people.
But the UFO field doesn't know, they don't know how to do it.
They don't have the deep state understanding to be able to trek with these things.
And it's very disappointing.
Because instead, you know, you've got filmmakers and stuff running around saying, we want the truth, you know.
And if you don't understand the government entities that you're seeking the truth from, you're not going to get anything.
You're going to, you know, they're going to pass off junk to you and you're going to think it's the real thing and you'll try to make a documentary out of it.
And, you know, so we have to kind of up our game, I guess, in that field.
And I think the way you do it is through the eyes of deep state researchers.
And I've tried time and again to get real deep state researchers to look at the UFO issue.
And this is a problem because those are the types of people who study, for example, the assassinations, who could unravel the UFO aspect and what they're doing with the UAP task force.
But instead, we have a split there, and you've got people who aren't really so detail oriented in the UFO field, they don't really go that deep.
And you have incredible people, but they do have an openness to the UFO issue, which I think is very important.
The UFO file is crucial to understanding the whole structure.
But then the people on the deep state side, they understand the government and the secrecy and the lies and the wall of secrecy very, very well.
But they don't deal with the UFO file because there's a lot of fluff stuff around the UFO issue.
So we need to walk a very interesting path.
Course down the middle between these two things and pull from both.
The openness on the UFO side without all the silliness or the running around or the kind of video game, you know, I'm right, you know, thing that you see so often.
And I've run into those people.
I don't spend any time with them on Twitter or whatever.
They want to fight over something, you know, or they want to say, you don't accept the TTSA, so, you know, you're a disinformation agent or, you know, You know, you're jealous of the TTSA or something.
Look, here's the deal.
What you need to do is either you're in the truth seeking business or you're not.
So, if you're in the truth seeking business, what you do is you try to find the truth and you go through an organization like the TTSA and you shake it out.
And when you shake it out, CIA people are falling out left and right.
So, you know that it's a CIA run organization.
So, there's no question there about that.
They themselves put their own CIA history up there.
So Why would it be wrong to call them out as being a CIA run operation?
So, we've had big failures with some big names in the UFO field.
As TTSA is going down, face down, they have a massive debt going on.
And these guys are $50 million in debt.
They now want to spin off and do entertainment.
This whole thing.
Goes back to the Hillary Clinton campaign where John Podesta was running her campaign and got her to say UAP and was working with DeLong on running this UFO op.
They thought Hillary was going to get in.
She didn't.
Trump got in and was like, you know, he has his own background on the UFO file through his uncle.
And his uncle, we must remember, Uncle John Trump was the protege of Vannevar Bush.
Vannevar Bush was in charge of the UFO file.
Uncle John Trump was close to Donald Trump.
This could be, in fact, the linchpin reason why the establishment was so opposed to Trump.
His populism might have been part of it, his independence could have been part of it.
But there seems to be something beyond all of it.
His opposition to China could have been part of it.
But it seems like there's something larger, there's like a secret about Trump.
Which is why it was all hands on deck.
We have to do it, even if we sacrifice all our credibility, Trump has to be gone.
And that's regardless of how you feel about Trump, this is how the establishment acted.
And there were the never Trumpers on the Republican side and the entire Democratic media CIA organization from before the time that he got into office.
So we have to understand that in order to understand where we are with this.
The TTSA was going to unleash this off about UAPs, and they thought they were going to have Hillary there in charge.
But what happened instead.
She didn't get in, and they said, Let's run the op anyway.
And that's where it got very, very bizarre.
And now it's like rats jumping off a sinking ship.
Melon's gone, Steve Justice is gone, and Elizondo, the CIA is pushing him through as the main spokesman for the UFO thing.
You will see him everywhere.
He's on the homepage, the cover of the New York Post.
He was on the Tucker Carlson show, he was on all of these different CBS reports and all the The rest.
So his PR is lined up very heavily.
That's CIA control of the media.
They can run anyone through at any time.
In fact, his story isn't much.
And he's been proven a liar multiple times in public.
You know, these types of things, the kind of tap dancing that he would do as an intelligence official has been looked at deeply.
On this program, for sure.
Some other UFO researchers have done it also.
Unfortunately, there's also a don't touch, don't say anything bad about Elizondo, don't examine him, don't ask him any tough questions, don't ask him if he still works for the CIA.
And then you get the kind of questions when he sits down with his favorite, like George Knapp or somebody who I have a lot of respect for because of his work in the 90s and all the rest.
But with Elizondo, it's a clear softball match.
And he'll sit down and he'll get questions like, How does it feel to be this heroic?
You know, this type of stuff, which has nothing to do, you know, when you're a journalist, you go in there and you say, Where did you get your information?
Who was your commanding officer?
What's your status now?
What do you get from doing this?
Was there anyone in that structure who pushed you out there?
Because by the time you get to the New York Times articles, you've got professional photographs of yourself brooding, saying that you're somebody who couldn't take it anymore, you know, when in fact, You'd run the program for five years, according to your own statements.
So there are a lot of weird things when we get to Elizondo and then the lack of critical thinking, the lack of critical reporting on him.
Now, of course, in the mainstream, you can kind of, you know, the way that they're pushing it, because they're such pawns of the CIA, that's one thing.
But in the UFO field, it should be different.
He should have been held to a higher standard.
But he only talked to two people.
And this was part of the problem.
He would basically talk.
With only two people, and they'd never ask them tough questions.
So, but basically, what we have is a counterintelligence agent from the CIA who worked for the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, and directly for CIA director John Brennan.
So, as a counterintelligence agent, what you're trying to do, your job is to make up lies so that other countries buy into those lies instead of what's actually going on.
So, in fact, your job title in service to your country is I have to be a really good liar.
And Elizondo is supposed to be a really good counterintelligence agent, so he's a really good liar.
It's inevitable.
Is This a National Threat00:05:20
So it's been floating out there now.
The New Yorker, this is yesterday.
Are UFOs a national security threat?
This is the New Yorker.
First of all, you wouldn't expect UFO reporting in the New Yorker anyway, but the UFO threat op why can't they just talk about UFOs without the threat part?
Well, the threat is crucial.
They need the threat aspect.
Without the threat aspect, the rest of it doesn't fly.
So let's go a little bit deeper with Elizondo on this.
By the way, just to fill in a couple of gaps here, this is Vice, okay?
Tom DeLong's UFO organization is a $37.4 million deficit.
That's ballooned out to $50 million.
And I think a lot of that, there's also lost revenue from the TV program as well, because the TV program is one of the lowest ranked programs in its slot.
So, you know, obviously it was a money and a time suck for somebody, but, you know, the CIA knows their investments very well, and I'm sure they heavily invested in the program.
Let's go back with Elizondo a little bit.
Now, I have a report from somebody who was connected with a large, major UFO case who claimed that when they went and reported this case, they went into the police department in New York City.
And that they were told to wait, and then Elizondo somehow showed up and interrogated them.
But this was 20 years ago.
And in fact, this person felt that Elizondo had shadowed them for the following six months.
So Elizondo's job could very well have been tracking UFO abductees.
This makes a lot more sense because we all know his leadership of the ATIP program was never proven.
And the Pentagon denied it and said he actually had no responsibilities for the program.
That program was not even a UFO program, in fact, it was an advanced aerial threat identification program.
Okay, now, this, when Elizondo said he was running ATIP, that program, this is actually where he was.
He was running a shipping company in 2010.
So instantly, the early story was rocky, and then it got stranger still with him running this company in Maryland, oh so close to Virginia, where the CIA is.
Later, he became the key spokesman for the UFO threat aspect as DeLong basically fell apart, and they couldn't put Chris Mellon out there because people would start to look at him and say, hmm, Chris Mellon, the millions and billions from the Mellons.
Chris Mellon, you know, W's intelligence analyst, somebody cooking around the Iraq war got us into that chunk.
Why would we get these people around the UFO file?
So they couldn't really use him either, although he's very wrapped up in the Rubio part, and they think that they can use Rubio.
So here's more Elizondo.
We can't do a thing to stop UFOs, it would be America's biggest spy failure since 9 11.
Warren's ex Pentagon investigator.
So he's saying, oh, you know, if you don't stop this UFO threat, it'll be like 9 11, right?
Scare you with evil aliens are coming for you, you know, even though we've lived thousands and thousands of years on Earth, it's humanity, and UFOs have never invaded, but now suddenly a UFO invasion is imminent and it's worse than 9 11.
Look who else is using 9 11 style language.
Biden says white supremacists have replaced jihadists as the most lethal terrorist threat to the US.
You know, this is actually quite ridiculous for a lot of reasons.
In fact, Membership in white supremacist groups has gone down dramatically.
And this idea, what they're pushing with the domestic terror bill under the Biden administration, just as a little aside here, is basically anyone who doesn't kind of go along with that woke language, with that woke approach, can be labeled oh, you don't believe, so we're going to keep you in a database.
And with this database, we're going to be watching people.
And if you step out of line, you know, it's basically like the Stasi in East Germany.
This is the type of totalitarian control that China exhibits and control over its population.
And it's nothing that we want here in America, for sure.
Totalitarian Surveillance State00:15:46
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist Show.
Whew, I'm telling you, I'm trying to get through this information because it's all so connected and there's a lot of it.
We're probably going to go until about 10 o'clock tonight.
And, you know, this is the ex state of the union, UFOs, COG, and the mystery of the DOD.
And that includes this huge 175 million IP addresses that were suddenly transferred three minutes before Trump left office.
There's a major story there.
It's right there, just out of reach.
And we're just getting into it.
We're just starting to feel the importance of that.
I want to remind everyone to go to the Dark Journalist website and sign up for our newsletter.
That is the crucial link that keeps us in touch with each other.
And we try to include some very important things in there, like some fascinating and incredible shows that we have coming up for you for May, some very exciting events coming up this summer that you are going to want to know about first.
And of course, the incredible X Series episodes that we have coming up for you, including the one next Friday with Miss Olivia, part three of X 100.
As I mentioned before, we have Groovy out there.
Running the ideas room.
It's a great, like a huge turnout for tonight.
And we have Kat out there too.
It's great to see everybody.
Fantastic.
All right.
Now we'll move into the last section here.
And I see some wonderful super chatters supporting the program also.
I want to say thank you.
And we really appreciate your help.
Okay.
Let's go here for a moment.
Harry Reid.
Tell us about it, Harry.
Harry is the sponsor of Louis Elizondo.
He's the go to.
He's the one who'll vouch for him.
He's the one who said he originally assigned him to ATIP.
The whole thing rests on him.
Strangely enough, the other two people in that setup who allocated the $22 million, which is really not a lot of money to study UFOs and is kind of absurd, but they allocated it to Bigelow Aerospace back there.
Over a decade ago.
And the people who did it were Ted Stevens of Alaska and Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, who mentioned earlier was involved in that Iran Contra COG piece, and Harry Reid.
Ted Stevens went down in a plane crash, Inouye died, and so the only man standing from the original ATIP is Reid.
So anything that he says supposedly is gospel, even if it's not backed up with any records.
At the Black Vault, have done a really good job of drilling down on what Reed said versus what can be proved.
Now, we have to remember about Reed, he was the Senate Majority Leader.
Think about this position.
This is a major position.
LBJ was Senate Majority Leader.
This is not just Senator from Nevada, he is the Senate Majority Leader.
And what is in Nevada, of course, Area 51.
So there was no transparency from Harry Reed on that.
When the audit the Fed bill came up, even though he ran early on in his career on auditing the Fed, when those bills came up, how many times did he block them?
A dozen.
This is not somebody who's interested in transparency at all.
He is looking for that angle of directing where the UFO narrative goes, and his point man, the person who's been chosen, is Elizondo.
Again, TTSH chose Elizondo, they rolled him out, and it didn't work out in the beginning.
They've tried about five different versions of Elizondo.
The problem is, he kept lying in public.
So Reed went to bat, went to bat, went to bat, and then started having problems.
Then Reed has given his own statements about this.
And he said UFO fragments are likely in possession of Lockheed Martin, ex-Senator Harry Reid.
Now, that's the kind of information you might find on the Dark Journal show: that Lockheed Martin has redeveloped UFO parts.
Former Nevada Senator Harry Reid, once a major leader in the Democratic Party before his retirement, has claimed that defense contractor Lockheed Martin may have had fragments of a crashed UFO in its possession.
Reid told the New Yorker that he had never actually seen proof of the remnants, but was rebuffed in his efforts to get Pentagon approval to find them.
It's not exactly the same thing as saying that they have them.
So the headline there is a little misleading.
But I found this very interesting.
If the UFO op fails, Reid has a backup, and you know what it is.
Vladimir Putin behind pyramid UFOs that swarmed US Navy ship ex-senator claims?
That's kind of interesting.
That's Harry Reid saying, you know what?
I'm sure it was the Russians that buzzed those ships using their own advanced craft.
Yeah, that's it.
The Russians are working with the UFOs.
So when we get the UFO threat piece, the UAP threat report in June, how much of this is just going to be used as, oh, it's the Russians?
Or the Russians are working with UFOs.
We need to go after both of them.
Because remember, they've been wanting Russia for a long, long time in the national security state.
And they just freaked out during the Obama administration trying to get into encircling Russia.
Now, Russia is not a major military power anymore.
They spend on their military in a year what we spend on.
In a week.
So, you know, their economy is basically the size of Manhattan.
The idea of Russia as this major threat who's going to come and get us is an old echo from the Cold War, but that Russia no longer exists.
Certainly, they're a nuclear power, and they have now the ability, they've kept themselves in by banishing GMOs and things like that.
They could emerge totally healthy and vital outside of this global system that the Davos crowd is pushing.
So, therefore, Russia has to go.
Their leadership has to go.
They have to be in the New World Order.
So they have a really big problem there.
And what they could do is decide hey, let's kill two birds with one stone.
We're going to deliver the Russian op and the UFO op together.
And that is what Harry Reid is again, trial balloon out there, just like Kissinger earlier.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is behind the pyramid shaped UFOs that were filmed swarming in a U.S. Navy ship.
And there's no question about it, ex senator Harry Reid has claimed.
So what is it?
Is it a UFO threat or is it a Russian threat?
Harry seems to be convinced that it's both.
This is very strange, the way that they're playing this handout.
And when we go back now and think about Elizondo and his role, he's saying basically I'm the ex Pentagon official, I ran the UFO program, and I'm saying that it's a big threat.
You know, trust me, I've come out because I'm a disgruntled employee and all the rest.
In fact, the evidence points to, especially with his gig for Clapper and Brennan and others, CIA intel level, that he's a counterintelligence agent, completely still active.
He never resigned from these programs.
He was put out as a dangle to see how far they could go with it and raise the UFO threat.
When they did it through TTSA, it didn't work.
And the main problem was that Hillary was not in charge.
She wasn't the president like they thought they were going to get.
And they rolled it out anyway in October of 2017, and it fumbled several times.
Interestingly enough, one of the key pieces here that got brought out, and I want to read this, I'm going to find it.
This is, you know, Leslie Kane, this is where I'm going to mention some people who work in this field who I don't agree with.
And it's nothing against the character of Leslie Kane.
I'm just saying a lot of these things don't fit.
If you're a journalist looking for the truth on this, there's some problems.
But anyway, she did an excellent book in 2010 on UFOs and military reports.
She worked with Bud Hopkins before that, and she does a lot of near death experience stuff.
So all that's very interesting.
However, her association with the 2017 rollout of Elizondo in the New York Times and all that, it looks to me that she was either used.
Or, you know, this is somebody who's willing to play along, or whatever it happens to be.
And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fact that her uncle is Thomas Kane, who was the New Jersey governor who was in charge of the 9 11 Commission.
So we must be kind of aware of these things that there are political ties into some of these people.
It's not necessarily a sinister thing, but we have to understand that they have these types of connections.
So again, you know, I want that to be an even handed piece, just like when I mentioned it about NAP.
It has to be clearly understood that journalistically you have to get to the bottom of it.
If Knapp was floating softballs for Elizondo, there's a reason for that.
He's a journalist, he understands people are going to ask questions.
But if the question isn't Knapp, it's Elizondo.
You know, someone the other day told me that I should debate Richard Dolan.
Richard Dolan's been on this program before, and, you know, he's done a series of books on UFO histories and things.
You know, Richard Dolan became a big supporter of the TTSA, the To the Stars Academy.
Seem to think that everything they said was gold and that they shouldn't be questioned and all the rest.
That's a position, you know, and he could take that position.
And I heavily disagree with it.
But I would never want to debate Richard Dolan over that.
I'd want to debate Elizondo and Tom DeLong because the point is they're the ones who are lying.
So, and the CIA op is the people, you know, it's the Elizondo piece of that op.
It's the TTSA.
That's the CIA part.
That's the piece I'm interested in, not the good researchers who get.
Whipped up into that blender with them.
So that has to be clear.
In fact, you know, it's important that we're all on the same side, that is, looking for the truth.
Unfortunately, there is a kind of a, in ufology, there's like a, the Nick Pope corridor, you know, where, you know, the things that they say are going to be limited and they won't ask the hard questions and all the rest.
And that's not a corridor I want to, Be a part of.
But when I bring up people like Knapp or Leslie Kane, it has to be understood that I can respect the work that they've done, but I still have to ask the tough questions.
It's just the nature of real journalism.
And it's important that they up their game to give us the real facts instead of just saying, oh, anyone who questions Elizondo must be a hater or something.
It's absurd.
Let's wake up and grow up.
These are people who have spent their entire careers in the Central Intelligence Agency.
The Central Intelligence Agency is an extra constitutional group that has run afoul of the United States government itself.
So, and they're far outside the reach of the average citizen, and they've committed assassinations and at times have been sanctioned and censured by Congress.
So, let's not pretend about who we're dealing with here.
So, if someone has spent Three decades as part of the CIA, then I'm going to question the hell out of them if they say, I have UFO truth and there's a UFO threat and you just have to trust me.
That's not going to fly.
We're going to examine everything that they've done.
We're going to drill down and find out who they are, who they're connected with, who their commanding officers were, and where this op is coming from.
Because we've already had it with Corona.
They've already destroyed so many of the freedoms in America and around the world.
And if they think that they're going to do that with the UFO op, it's not going to happen.
Because people like us are going to ask the questions.
So, sorry if it's going to step on some people's toes, but we are going to be bulls in the China shop when the CIA gets involved in UFO disclosure, and we're going to squeeze the truth out of them until they're like, it's not worth it, and they run for the hills.
That's more like it.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist Show.
We're going deep.
We've got about maybe 10 minutes left here.
I'm going to dive into something we were just talking about, Leslie Kane.
And some of the interesting things that came up in this New Yorker article.
By the way, incredibly naive New Yorker article, but fascinating that they would go through the details of the different waves of UFO research that have happened.
And I see this happening a lot.
They're trying to get these like 20 something kids up to snuff real fast to sound eloquent and educated around the UFO file.
And they should get the straight dope on it, but they're incredibly naive going into this.
And they don't have the background.
This is part of the problem.
Anyway, in this New Yorker article, something very interesting came up.
Listen closely and think about what I've been saying here about TTSA.
Kane was told that she could have the videos.
You remember these videos.
Along with the chain of custody documentation, if she would place a story in the New York Times, Kane soon developed doubts about Tom DeLong.
Now they're throwing DeLong under the bus.
I've never heard about Kane having doubts about Tom DeLong until this article, which just came out yesterday.
Suddenly, DeLong, you know.
But listen to the very next line.
After DeLong appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast to discuss his belief that what crashed at Roswell was a reverse engineered UFO built in Argentina.
By fugitive Nazi scientists, which he got directly from the work of Dr. Joseph Farrell, who the TTSA tried to recruit, in fact.
And they decided to go for Peter Lavenda instead, because Farrell was too anti Hillary Clinton for them, basically, is what it comes down to.
Tic Tac Footage Analysis00:07:41
And so they got Lavenda to write all of this kind of fiction for them.
And it's interesting because, you know, writers, their job is to write and they will have people who will hire them out at times.
And that's what Lavenda was doing.
So, you know, he became part of TTSA.
I would have said to somebody like him, I wouldn't have anything to do with TTSA because I think it's a CIA op which will eventually spiral down and be exposed andor be run out of town by the people who sponsored it in the first place, the CIA.
So let's think about this.
Basically, that's what ended up happening.
I mean, the TTSA is not even being included in these articles except in a disparaging way.
All right, so the next line is but she has full confidence in Elizondo.
He had incredible gravitas, Kane told me.
So, you know, basically, and Elizondo came out and said, I'm this disgruntled person who is the head of the UFO desk and I have all these secrets to share.
And then he had these videos with him, and one of the videos had, in fact, been released in 2007 on YouTube.
So, you know, in terms of like ultra secret stuff, I've had people who are experts look at the Tic Tac video, and it is what they used to kind of mainline their version of the UFO threat and all the rest, but it's not very impressive footage.
I've seen more impressive footage.
There's incredible footage from 1978 from an Australian film team that.
Photographed a UFO, videotaped it for a half hour.
You know, we've had these incredible pieces of footage before.
The Tic Tac isn't one.
And, you know, Russell Targ came on this program and he is somebody who's done physics experiments and all the rest.
And his impression of it, even though his old partner, Hal Putoff, was involved with putting it out through TTSA, Putoff has also gone away from the TTSA.
But his impression was this is not what it purports to be at all.
And also, that since it was radar footage, it's very easy to be tampered with.
These are the types of questions that are absolutely crucial.
That's what you'd get in real journalism.
That's what you'd get if the, you know, on the UFO side, if they were very detail oriented.
Those are the types of things that would be coming up.
And then, you know, and you hear people say, oh my God, they questioned this incredible disclosure.
Now we'll never get any of it because the forces that be that were so heroically trying to get us disclosure, now, you know, those bad UFO researchers said they don't believe in the tic tac and they gave them a hard time and actually asked them about the provenance of it.
So therefore, you know, they've offended them.
I mean, it's this kind of, It's idiotic stuff.
I think it's very interesting too because we have to put the UFO thing in perspective, which is it's such an important, crucial question.
We have so much data on it from researchers independently that the government side of it is just kind of for confirmation.
So, this is the key piece.
So, the idea that we would get disclosure from them, you know, we already have a body of research.
And if they decide to get on board at some point, And release the files that they have, that's a totally different story.
But this, oh, we've seen some UFO threats, and like there's a threat here and a threat there.
So, you know, basically we need funding against a threat.
And then they'll use the threat to enact a kind of a COG type situation as they've gotten to that level with the coronavirus issue.
So, you know, these are the types of things that in government we need to be wary of.
And in the public, the pressure that we put on the government around this stuff is very important.
And not buying into suddenly the media loves talking about this subject, that the New Yorker can't wait to give you a UFO report, that NBC News can't wait.
Well, those organizations are run largely by the Central Intelligence Agency.
That's where they get their data from.
So who's feeding them all this information?
For very familiar faces, the Central Intelligence Agency, again.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist Show.
We've got a few minutes left here.
I wanted to read.
A quote from President Kennedy around this.
You know, this is very interesting.
I had this earlier.
I wanted to show this to everyone.
This is Trump before, you know, they decided he was the huge outcast because he was exposing China and all the rest.
He was in with the in crowd, baby.
And there's Oprah and Don King back there.
But here's the Kennedy quote, and I think this is good to close on.
President Kennedy said, even today, there's little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions.
Even today, there's little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it.
The traditions of freedom, of openness, not censorship, not lockdowns, not draconian imaginary threats to make you afraid.
Locked up in your house.
So the UFO threat is coming, and they'll get a lot of heft from the UAP report if they decide to go through at this point.
They might punt if things are shaky there with the Biden administration.
But there's someone who really understood what we were up against.
And he was saying, look, and in his day, there were all kinds of excuses for draconian measures.
You know, the Cold War and all the rest of it, the nuclear issue.
And he said, you know, even today, there's little value in ensuring the survival of our nations if our traditions do not survive with it.
The Constitution, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to bear arms, freedom to address the government for grievances, freedom of worship.
This is really a key piece, which is we can't so easily let that go and say, well, There was a UFO threat, or there was a medical emergency, and we had to give away the Constitution.
We have to learn to really stand up and stop that process.
The way you do it on the UFO side is to expose the CIA operations.
Elizondo is a CIA counterintelligence operative.
The group that sponsored him were honeycombed with CIA agents, career officials, over 100 years of CIA experience.
That's a CIA operation.
We don't want CIA UFO disclosure.
We have the cases.
We have the abduction cases.
We have the sightings from pilots.
We have the information.
Disclosure is something that we can work on.
And it doesn't come from some official from the CIA saying there's a threat.
Expose CIA Operations00:05:32
You have to be afraid.
And I have to.
You have to give me the ability to fight it for you.
But don't worry.
All that money that's missing from the government, we'll use it fighting the aliens.
No problem.
Everyone, you're watching the Dark Journalist Show.
Whew.
Well.
There's more to get through, but I'm going to save it for the next show.

Excellent.
And let's remember, never let it be forgot that once there was a Camelot, and of course there can be again.
And we'll keep our eye on these reports as they're coming out.
And remember, generally, as far as this UFO file is concerned, when you see the CIA pop up, that's the big no no.
And, you know, we've had enough of their extra constitutional antics.
We're going to move forward with real disclosure on that.
But this is going to be interesting to watch in June, in any case.
Wow, great.
Scarlet Fire, thank you.
Excellent to see everyone.

Excellent.
Melissa Crimson, fantastic.
Ladybug, I like that one.
We'll see you all next week.
Have a fantastic weekend.
We'll be watching this story real close.
And the mystery also of AS 8003 and the incredible vast swath of the internet that they just swooped up a few minutes before President Trump left office.
You know, I did want to mention that, and I'll plug this into our next report, which is they have admitted now that during the Trump administration at the end there was an actual DEW attack.
And directed energy weapon.
And this is going to be an interesting thing.
We're going to get more and more intel on that for you.
But they're reporting it in mainstream channels now, which means they know that that's going to come out.
And we've reported on Havana syndrome that happens to people when they go into the hot zone.
Of course, those diplomats that went to Cuba and had all those acoustic concussions.
And the weird thing was when they came back to America, what happened to them?
They kept experiencing the symptoms.
So we're going to go deep on that one in an upcoming episode.
For sure, we will see you all.
Next week, and thank you so much for being here, Allison Lawson.
Really appreciate it.
Thank you, Groovy.
Thank you, Kat.
And we'll see y'all next week.
Have a great one.
You know, it says end broadcast, but after all, it never really ends.
