This is Lue

 

A few days ago, somebody approached me in a pub with some urgency and informed me that Richard D Hall thinks that Luis Elizondo is a shill. I replied by smiling thinly. The phrase: "Richard D Hall thinks (insert name here) is a shill!" is almost a tautology. For a man who goes to sleep every night thinking there are MI5 agents under his bed and once denounced an entire radio station merely because their website looked a bit like his, Elizondo is red meat. Yet Richard is only the most extreme fringe of a broad spectrum. Despite what the skeptics claim, UFOlogists are not a gaggle of wide-eyed believers. We are very introspective and self-critical, and sometimes in the wrong way. In fact there is virtually a cottage industry of social media mavens who dedicate every moment online to picking holes in the characters of everybody else in UFOlogy, for example see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/02/simon-parkes-is-innocent.html and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/01/tribunal-update-linda-moulton-howe.html. Those, like myself, who refuse to jump on these torch-and-pitchfork bandwagons are subjected to emasculating scorn; and another example has just come to light. Cristina Gomez is a relative newcomer to the subject, emerging in the post-2017 "New UFOlogy" wave. She has become a dedicated journalist and blogger who regularly posts new material, see: https://www.youtube.com/c/ParadigmShifts and: https://strangeparadigms.com. She comes across as a good-natured and cheery young woman. Unfortunately, her positivity inevitably has led to accusations of weakness and naiveté from the usual clan of backslappers. This encouraged her to write an article in which she asserts her own position as well as predicting the inevitable backlash from the UFO Twitter disinfo-heads. It's an excellent defence of Lue Elizondo that is intelligent and analytic. It is clear that Cristina has indeed seriously considered the other side of the story, as have I. The notion that Elizondo is a new Richard Doty or Nick Pope has to be addressed. His rise to prominence does seem very convenient. His frustrating reticence and seeming inability to deliver the information he continuously hints that he has should make one think twice. However, I don't accept that it helps to take a preventative or alarmist position. We do ourselves and UFOlogy no favours by assuming that a person is bad because they do not jump to every tune we whistle, as and when required. As Cristina puts it: "...if he isn't a peerless master of Disclosure and the tip of 'our' truth-seeking spear; a guru of confirmation of all our suspicions about the gatekeepers in the house of smoke and mirrors, conforming to our every expectation- then by gosh, we'll cancel him! Yeah... Right. Get over yourselves." Source: https://strangeparadigms.com/blog/whos-lue-no-who-are-you-971.
 
Lue Elizondo has stated several times that Disclosure is a process and I'm inclined to believe him. It matches my own previous observations. Cristina has also understood that, in many cases, so-called "cross-examination" is simply an excuse for an orgy of self-indulgent bullying. What's more, money can be made from this kind of drama. As I say in the background articles above, the "wannabe Howard Stern" channels are often monetized. Their users are often on Patreon and give privileges to donors. Their Tweets get liked by major mainstream media outlets. These people have written books and made movies to "bring the truth!" Debunking UFO's is big business. At the end of the day, what real evidence is there that Elizondo is a shill? Cristina breaks the issue down very well. He has a reputation for expressing sincere beliefs about UFO transparency. He left the Pentagon, with all its salary and benefits, to rough it as a civilian UFOlogist. He has been consistent in his assessment of the phenomenon, including taking up positions unpopular in some circles, such as the threat possibility being a genuine military concern. The allegation that Elizondo is a government plant is nothing more than an assumption; and it is pedalled by people who have a vested interest in him being an agent, either financial or in terms of social status. Does it occur to any of those people that if Lue is for real then he presents an opportunity we cannot afford to miss? Cristina uses a lot of angry rhetoric in her article, but she has been sorely provoked. There is a UFOlogical thug element and it has been left to run amuck. Somebody needs to call it out and I'm glad I'm no longer the only one doing it. Well done, Cristina!
