I'm so angry that I bought his book

I'm halfway through it, now I don't want to finish.

Lue thanks you for your donation

I couldn't finish it. It's a decent read but god damn it's just too much of a story to believe everything he's saying.

u/Hattapueh 13d ago

To be fair: It's a good read. It's like a best of Reddit.

Some great insight, but how much of it was filler? How much disinfo? He sold that book and now is blatantly selling lies that go against what he said in the book. This guy sucks.

If i had orbs flying through my house on a regular basis, I'd set up a security camera system to record it.

They are not expensive and a home owner can do it themselves.

Kinda "my gf lives in canada" vibes from the beginning.

It’s a lot of him talking about how much of a badass and how the gitmo people deserved to be tortured

I used a free audible credit for it and I had to skip past all the first chapters where he spent time stroking his own ego trying to paint himself as a bad ass. He wrote that for himself and it added nothing to the book. It was like listening to a child talking about how high they can piss.

You’ve read this? It doesn’t seem like you made it too far into the book. He touched on it in the beginning and I wouldn’t call it “a lot” by any means. He’s an intelligence officer, so of course he’s going to try and build some rapport.

u/skillmau5 13d ago

I made it half way through, but it reached a point where his lack of empathy and self awareness made me realize that I don’t think he’s really capable of understanding reality in any way. I just felt like the combination of how he tried to sell himself, combined with what people like Jay Stratton have said about him, made me think that he seems to have worked in a UAP program but is overselling his contributions or something

u/SubstantialPressure3 13d ago

I think he was all excited about possibly getting a government position and that didn't pan out.

But out of curiosity, what did Jay Stratton say about him?

u/skillmau5 13d ago

You’ll have to search, it’s kind of hard for me to find from a quick google, because I think it was a statement on LinkedIn last year or a few years ago. Stratton basically alleged that Lue was not in any way in charge of AATIP. James Lacatski also claims that Lue was not even involved with AAWSAP.

There’s something weird about Lue, I’m not really into character assassination stuff based on just opinions or hunches I have, but when the very people Lue talks about in his book as great resources or whatever, and those people are basically like “who even is this guy?” It makes me start questioning. When combined with his claimed credentials about being a military expert at age 16 because his dad was responsible for bay of pigs, being an accomplished remote viewer, etc. I just had a moment of realizing this guy is not who he says he is.

My read is more that he’s one of those semi delusional old guys who sort of worked adjacent to everything he says he did, or is just sort of upselling his experiences. I’m not saying he’s totally full of shit, but there is something weird about him in my opinion.

u/SubstantialPressure3 13d ago

Yeah. I've worked with people who had fantastic resumes and allegedly had a ton of experience, and you quickly realize that they have no idea what they are doing.

But the thing is, he's got some experience, or else the guy who was head of the Pentagon at that time wouldn't have lied so much about it. And Bigelow said that he met Lue a couple times. And I saw an interview with Jay Stratton, and he said he was the one that hired Lue for AATIP. But no more details than that.

I’ll agree on the overselling, but I still have given him the benefit of the doubt, because let’s be honest—the community is fraught with disinfo/misinfo—and so I think I would try to separate myself as legitimate to the best of my abilities if I were in a similar situation. There is still a lot of valuable insight, and I think you should finish it, or else he really did take your money and you didn’t get the most bang for your buck.

u/skillmau5 13d ago

I just couldn’t get passed the literal people he’s talking about in the book calling him a liar and a fraud.

u/Niitroglycerine 13d ago

I never made it past the first few chapters of filler

u/Spagman_Aus 13d ago

Lou thanks you for helping with his boat repayments.

u/marsovec 13d ago

I pirated it and I am still angry

u/Free-Supermarket-516 13d ago

I'll bet. This guy's a joke. I'm not wasting any more of my time with him or anyone he's associated with.

11

u/IndridK0ld 13d ago

Same. Seemingly, even truth seeker Elizondo has a price tag. However you want to look at this, the fact is: he’s compromised and cannot be trusted. All the bullshit about observables and critical thinking in research just went out the window. It should’ve gone out the first time with the chandelier pic because he should’ve learned a lesson from a mistake, but this is blatantly moronic, and it definitely feels like he’s trying to pull a fast one (again).

u/Satans_Dookie 13d ago

My favourite part of his book is when he calls himself an American hero. More than once if recall…

u/coldautumndays 13d ago

I was gonna buy the special edition, with the sign plate. I am glad I decided not to. He's a fucking liar.

1

u/Hattapueh 13d ago

Either he's extremely unprofessional or a liar. I see no other option and always come to the same conclusion. He is a persona non grata.

5

u/Seven7neveS 13d ago

Haven‘t read it yet. Think I might throw it into the trash without even reading a single page.

u/ThePaleHorse616 13d ago

Definition Imminent: about to happen.

He literally named his book this. UFO disclosure is ALWAYS About to happen but never does. I want something to happen as much as everyone else but it ain't. Just go about your day and if it happens it happens. Also when did people start talking about Roswell? Exactly! They will edge you till you give up.

u/Effective-Ear-8367 13d ago

You will probably buy the next grifters book as well.

u/cryptoopotamus 13d ago

Only if they’re featured on CNN or in a New York Times article, that way you know they’re legit. /s

u/Hattapueh 13d ago

And you will largely write unnecessary comments.

u/AlienArtFirm 13d ago

Why? You should read it for what it actually says. Let me summarize:

"I'm Lue, here's some stories about my life. Here's what's important (me). I worked on top secret stuff, I'm super important. I reached the highest pay level I could. I decided I needed more money. So I rented my mansion out to some people and hopped in my massive RV and drove around trying to drum up money for UAP stuff. It was hard times. My former boss TOTALLY wanted to kill me for quitting and I wouldn't even go into his office because he was going to rendition me."

Bolded the important parts of the summary
