The former Pentagon official who went public about reports of UFOs has filed a complaint with the agency’s inspector general claiming a coordinated campaign to discredit him for speaking out — including accusing a top official of threatening to tell people he was "crazy," according to documents reviewed by POLITICO.
Lue Elizondo, a career counterintelligence specialist who was assigned in 2008 to work for a Pentagon program that investigated reports of "unmanned aerial phenomena," filed the 64-page complaint to the independent watchdog on May 3 and has met several times with investigators, according to his legal team.
“What he is saying is there are certain individuals in the Defense Department who in fact were attacking him and lying about him publicly, using the color of authority of their offices to disparage him and discredit him and were interfering in his ability to seek and obtain gainful employment out in the world,” said Daniel Sheehan, Elizondo’s attorney. “And also threatening his security clearance.”
Sheehan, a public interest lawyer and activist, has a long history of taking on the federal government on behalf of high-profile clients, including defending The New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case as well as one of the Watergate burglars.
But a day after Elizondo filed his complaint, the IG announced a probe into Pentagon “actions” on UFOs, which is being undertaken by the assistant inspector general for evaluations on space, intelligence, engineering and oversight.
"We may revise the objective as the evaluation proceeds, and we will consider suggestions from management for additional or revised objectives," stated the IG’s memo announcing that probe.

Greer is saying Elizondo himself, is a part of a Disinfo campaign/Psyop and is working for the man using this all as a distraction......
saying Lue is fighting back at the people who ARE trying create disinformation and throw people off the right track.

In fact, I seriously doubt that anyone actually believes that anything presented, regardless of the bona fides of the source, will be accepted as hard fact by various segments of the population.
Such is our society, if not human nature itself.

But since he's now kind of self-employed in the entertainment business why would he need security clearance?

How do you reconcile the fact that Chris Cuomo(cnn) and Tucker Carlson(fox) are presenting the info in a similar manner?
There's no healthy dose of scepticism being applied. Just a space opera that is gently unfolding in front of us. All they ask is that we watch the spectacle unfold. This is a huge departure from not so long ago where reporters would jokingly report on the spectacle or worse, you could be declared unfit for reporting high strangeness whether you were the captain of a navy vessel or a commercial pilot.
Remember the Phoenix lights? Remember Governor Fife Symington bringing out the alien at the press conference?
If unwillingness to accept a surprising revelation is human nature, why is everybody still wearing a mask that cannot protect against a virus that's a 1000 times smaller than the space between the fabrics of the mask that's supposed to protect the wearer?
Now they want us to get caught up in the drama of Greer vs Alizondo, conveniently forgetting that it might be terrestrial.
Of course I may be a hundred miles off in my speculation, but I will not blindly accept any of this government space opera that they are deliberately rolling out for us to consume.

That sure is a lot of ducks sitting nicely in a row.
I have a lot of trust issues with all sides working together in such a nonpartisan way to...
... ensure the truth comes out because....
... people have a right to know and....
... the journos will deliver...
.... and receive no instructions whatsoever from their cia handlers on how to process and disseminate the information.....
... while Obama chimes in just blessing the overall freakshow...
Much bravery. Such wow.

How is any of this proven to be extraterrestrial and not some super advanced earthly technology that has been reverse engineered from actual alien tech but now applied for whatever purposes suits the government?
They've supposedly been sitting on this for what 70 years now?
