1:23
everybody and welcome back to the Chiliminati
1:25
Podcast. As always, I'm
1:27
one of your hosts, Mike Martin, joined today
1:30
by the Snoopy and Woodstock of LA, Jesse
1:32
and not Alex. Alex is a
1:35
busy man. He was recently married, so in his stead, a
1:37
Mr. Michael Santel. We married him
1:39
off. We got rid of him. We did. We married him off?
1:42
Well, Santel was more involved, was much more
1:44
involved at least than I was. I saw
1:46
him run up there, put a name tag
1:49
on, it was very funny. I did. I
1:51
did unwanted bits during the wedding that were
1:53
then quickly shoot away my people. I must
1:55
stress, so many bits.
1:57
I was not expecting as many bits. aerospace
6:00
threat identification program. Bam, there it is. Thank
6:02
you, I apologize. I just want to make
6:04
sure we all were on the set because
6:07
some people might not know what that is.
6:09
So not to be confused with the program
6:11
before this, which was awesome. Which got turned
6:13
into a tip under the hood by, again,
6:16
a bunch of over compartmentalized pieces of the
6:18
government that don't talk to each other. Just
6:21
for your clarity's sake, the Advanced
6:23
Aerospace Threat Identification Program was an
6:25
unclassified but unpublished investigatory
6:28
effort funded by the US to
6:30
study UAPs or unexplained aerial phenomenon.
6:32
The program was made public on
6:34
December 16th, 2017. Remember
6:37
those when the videos were leaking and all those like
6:39
you, that was kind of in junction with this. But
6:41
the program began in 2007 with
6:43
a funding of a measly 22 million over five
6:46
years, which if you know anything about government programs,
6:48
that's not a lot of money. Appropriations
6:50
were ended in 2012 and
6:53
the program began in the US Defense
6:55
Intelligence Agency afterward. So it's just like
6:57
moved around under different umbrellas and
7:00
was denied, denied, denied until it was leaked that
7:02
it was real. Lou Elizondo says he
7:04
was in charge of it, part of
7:06
it. And then the Pentagon has said, no, that's
7:08
not true for years and years and years. And
7:10
then three months ago or two months ago, a
7:13
FOIA requested memo got leaked to the guy
7:15
who runs the Black Vault, which is he
7:18
just a FOIA guy. He just FOA is
7:20
and documents everything. And he got
7:22
it where basically it was the government not
7:24
only naming ATIP, but also naming Lou Elizondo
7:26
on the memo. And he wasn't the guy
7:29
who got the FOIA, wasn't supposed to get
7:31
it. It was an accidental send to him
7:33
from the person who was on the other
7:35
end of FOIA. So it was
7:37
like, whether quote unquote accident or somebody on the
7:40
other side, because what we're also learning is like,
7:42
there's basically the old guard, all the old fucks
7:44
who were like, don't wanna let go of any
7:46
of the secrets. And there are some that I
7:49
agree for national security reasons. But
7:51
then there's the new guard who's like, no,
7:53
some of this fucking shit's insane and the
7:55
public needs to know. And there's like a
7:57
budding of heads. And that's what this book
7:59
essentially outlawed.
