Good afternoon, everyone. I'm going to go live over here on Rumble, and we're going to get started. Hopefully, Bridget will be along soon to join us. Speak of Bridget, and she just pops in. Okay. She should be up in just a second. How was your weekend, Bridget? Oh, wonderful, as always. How about you? Wonderful.
0:35
Good. Got to babysit on Saturday night. And we just got back from going a couple of towns away to a Christmas tree farm and picking out a Christmas tree for my daughter. So we like slid in underneath the wire back into the house so we could start the show on time. But that was a lot of fun. Okay.
1:05
I'm going to give you guys a heads up. This book is dense. I've tried every way I can to figure out how not just to bore you with a whole bunch of names. But there's a few names in here that are very important that kind of segues into other stories that we've done. And so I'm going to highlight them.
1:31
and kind of skip over some of the lesser players, but it's a lot of information. And so I'm going to do the introduction and we may get into chapter one, but it's a lot of information. So it starts off talking about something significant happening during the savings and loan crisis. What was it?
2:01
What everyone missed was a massive transfer of wealth from American taxpayers to a select group of extremely rich, powerful people. And again, I lived through this. Never once during all of this did I ever hear anyone talk about the collusion and overlap of the people that
2:29
ran all of these savings and loans. And it's mind-blowing. There were some articles written about it, but they were generally done in local areas. Like this book is written by Pete Bruton. Pete Bruton worked at the local paper in Houston and was publishing articles, but just like Gary Webb, ends up getting fired.
3:02
abandoned as he was beginning to reveal too much information. That's a common story. If you make it for a long time in media, you're not doing your job. That's just kind of the takeaway from all of these stories. With what these people had in common was very interesting because they all had symbiotic relationships with the mafia and the CIA.
3:33
and two of the most prominent, powerful politicians in Texas was associated with it, President George Bush and Senator Lloyd Benson. This small cabal of businessmen realized that the savings and loan were antiquated in the way they did business and were a thorn in the side to big banks. They recognized they...
4:07
They were a competition for a lot of middle class Americans to big banks who didn't want to bank at big banks because they weren't in their communities. So they decided to exploit the savings and loans, basically imploding them, using mafia, CIA, and some of their favorite politicians. They were insulated and protected.
4:41
by the system. Unlike Watergate and Iran-Contra, this was a bipartisan scandal. There was no opposition party to push for an independent investigation. In fact, the same group of wealthy, powerful businessmen centered in Houston then encircled Republicans like George Bush and James Baker, also encircled Democrats like Jim Wright and Lloyd Benson. Two birds.
5:12
Two wings of the same bird. The information in this book also provides some context for the 1988 elections in which not one crossword was ever spoken about the savings and loan debacle because it would have dirtied both candidates. It's not merely a coincidence that both Bush
5:41
the Republican nominee and Benson, the Democrat nominee for vice president, were both part of the scam. Even if the Democrats lost the presidential election, which they did, Benson would still win re-election to his Senate seat under what was called the LBJ rule. The mafia...
6:09
Had the author jokes saying that had the Democrats won, it would have been called the mafia CIA and Lloyd Benson because he would have been in the White House. But basically, Benson and Bush were two peas in the same pod. When Bush won in 1988, one of the reasons he did was his ability to keep the savings and loan scandal out of the political debate.
6:39
He was assisted by Lloyd Benson. They both had things to hide. Not only were many of the president-to-be's friends involved, along with two of his sons, but Bush himself as vice president had personally intervened in the federal regulation of a dirty Florida savings and loan that had been looted by people connected to the mafia in the CIA as part of
7:08
I ran Contra, which he orchestrated, and we bailed that savings and loan out $700 million. The savings and loan scandal was almost the perfect crime. The layers of protection and insulation between what the public discovered was going on at the savings and loan and what actually happened with the money.
7:37
were so many and so thick that the crime and theft would never be completely figured out, at least not in real time. Additional layers between the revelation and the bringing of those responsible to justice and recovering the money would never exist. The first and foremost layer of protection is the difficulty in tracking the money from savings and loans to its ultimate destinations.
8:08
That is why almost no FBI agent, federal prosecutor, savings and loan regulator, congressional committee, or journalist was able to track the money. Yet where the money went is really the only thing that matters. The rest of the facts got investigated, prosecuted, and written about were mostly smoke and mirrors set up to shield who really got the hundreds of billions of dollars that taxpayers
8:38
had to pay as part of the bailout. Sounds so familiar to 2008. The bulk of the money lost in the savings and loan crisis that American citizens had to pay for went to the owners of the property and the assets that the more notorious borrowers purchased with money from the savings and loan ran by equally infamous owners. It was a money laundering operation.
9:09
While Congress, the Justice Department, and the press concentrated on the flamboyant borrowers and managers of the savings and loan, the big recipients of the money, the wealthy, powerful landowners and property owners, crept off quietly with their profits. One of these deals, with a $200 million, 21,000 acre land transaction in Florida,
9:41
Much of the borrowed savings and loan money went to a paper company owned by DuPont. Yes, the Delaware DuPont family. We know this because many of the lending documents were pursued by a one person, a tenacious federal regulator by the name of Kenneth Curtin, C-U-R-E-T-O-N.
10:11
The unraveling of this transaction was a rare exception, but even it could not be called a complete victory. The Department of Justice International Division, the government body through which subpoenas to offshore banks must pass, inexplicably became a brick in the wall to Curtin's efforts to obtain records from the Isle of Jersey, which is located in the UK's English Channel.
10:39
where a big chunk of the money went. And it was speculated the money was laundered there to buy weapons for Iraq. Sounds so familiar. Many of the documents in the scandal were never made available. So they had to go through the original property owners, find out who they were.
11:14
and everything they could about them, and then doing the same thing for the savings and loan proprietors and borrowers. That's what's presented in this book, that evidence. The evidence uncovered is clear. Members and associates of the mafia and the U.S. CIA were key participants in our nation's savings and loan debacle.
11:44
Some of the richest, most powerful people in the country did business with these participants and profited off of the savings and loan crisis. It is well known that members of the MOPI and the CIA conspire routinely. There were other substantiated dealings with drug smuggling, money laundering in Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Caribbean, all of which we've covered.
12:15
These connections between these groups even include connections to JFK's assassination. He's talking about the difference between a CIA agent who is employed by the CIA and assets. The assets he describes as someone who can be
12:44
turned on occasionally to get information or conduct actions for the CIA. Similarly, an important cog in the CIA operation is also known as a cutout. A cutout is a front person that protects the identity of the asset or agent behind them. The mafia routinely plays the role of cutouts.
13:19
They have nicknames for them. That's how often they do that. They're called beards or mustaches. The CIA uses assets and cutouts to maintain one of its primary directives, plausible deniability. In other words, don't get caught embarrassing the president. This leads to one difference between the mafia and the CIA, particularly in this story. Once it is established that members and associates of the mafia,
13:53
are involved in a failed savings and loan, that is usually enough to establish the involvement of the mafia. Members and associates of the mafia don't do such things without the knowledge, permission, and sharing of the spoils with their superiors. The destruction of the savings and loan industry in Texas and in other parts of the country worked basically like an organized crime, bust out, or burnout.
14:20
This is a mob scam in which a failing company is taken over, billed up on credit, then drained of all of its assets to put it into bankruptcy, leaving the creditors holding the bag, which is exactly what they did with BCCI, Castle Bank, and Nugent Hand. This is a pattern. In the case of savings and loans, the credit was generally insured deposits injected by money brokers.
14:50
like mob associate Mario Renda, R-E-N-D-A, and the creditors are the taxpayers. The frontmen, the cutouts, and the mustaches, like Don Dixon, Tyrell Barker, Ed McBurney, Jarrett Wood, Roy Daly, Mike Adkinson, and Robert Corson, are left to take the blame.
15:18
But don't worry about them because they've skimmed enough money in offshore bank accounts that is worth a few years in jail. And besides, the people that are involved in this have the ability to pardon these people. Because of the CIA's doctrine of plausible deniability, the involvement of a CIA asset in a failed savings and loan does not make the case for the involvement of the CIA.
15:50
Unlike the mafia. In fact, I know of no independent test a journalist conduct to determine whether the involvement of a CIA asset means the CIA sanctioned it or whether the asset is just freelancing on his own. Because, of course, the CIA is always going to fall in the latter camp. The only way to tell would be if the CIA actually admitted involvement or.
16:20
if there were documented evidence of a CIA agent involved, showing savings in loan money going from an asset to a CIA operation, like we found with Iran-Contra. This is obtainable only by a subpoena. Even in such case, the CIA would deny that it knew the asset was pumping money into the operation.
16:49
They always maintain plausible deniability and then tell you if you FOIA the records that they can't release them because it's national security. The perfect crime. In the case of the failed savings and loan, the CIA has categorically denied its involvement. The CIA did admit to a congressional testimony that had a relationship to five individuals connected in a big way.
17:19
to the failed savings and loan, and that it had also done business with four of the savings and loan that later failed. Just look at the draw. But the spy agency claimed that business there was legitimate. They don't do any legitimate business, by the way. There are several cases in which there are clear indication that savings and loan money went directly to operations that the CIA took part in. One of which...
17:53
is Irene Contra and the other is the shipment of the missiles to the Middle East. The CIA either knew what was going on or their operatives knew. And then you're asked, why if they knew, didn't they stop it? How effective an intelligent agency could it be if it didn't know? So it either knew and didn't stop it.
18:26
Or it didn't know that money was being laundered and weapons were being purchased to go to foreign governments. And so how can they claim to be an effective CIA if all of that went on without their knowledge? The same dilemma we're in in every one of these situations. So you only can come away with the fact that they're not stupid and they knew.
18:56
There is circumstantial evidence that has to be considered about the CIA involvement. The evidence appears many times in this way. A failed savings and loan was owned and controlled by people who had done business with mafia associates and CIA operatives. Many of the borrowers were mafia and CIA associates.
19:28
with mafia and CIA operatives, and some of the money disappeared in foreign bank accounts controlled by the mafia and CIA. So that's the circumstantial evidence of which you can certainly gain a conviction if anybody was ever interested in prosecuting it. The author believes it makes it more likely than not that someone in the CIA hierarchy
19:57
not only knew about all of this, but had approved it. So having said that, I want to get to a couple of the key players. The one that you're going to hear over and over again is a guy by the name of Robert Corson, C-O-R-S-O-N. Another guy that you're going to hear of often in here is Mike Adkinson.
20:34
was a Florida guy involved in arms going to Kuwait and Iraq. And yeah, let me just read what he said about him. Mike Atkinson was a con man from the panhandle of Florida. He built houses in Houston and sold arms to Kuwaitis and Iraqis. He borrowed close to $200 million from a half dozen dirty savings and loans.
21:07
was convicted for fraud in the $200 million savings and loan land fraud in Florida and sentenced to 11 years in prison. And he worked very closely with Robert Corson. And again, most of these people did not serve their full term and made tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions off of these deals that was squirreled away in offshore accounts. So they had plenty to.
21:37
live on once they were convicted and served their time. And of course, just as a reminder, James Baker, White House Chief of Staff, former Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of State. He was the former partner at Andrews and Kurth, which in quote unquote investigated Raymond Hill and mainland savings and loan, but did nothing with it.
22:11
because he was long-term friends with Raymond Hill. Okay, Jim Bath. We're going to talk a lot about Jim Bath in this book. Jim Bath was a Houston Airplane Company owner. He had worked numerous times for the CIA. He also was the front man in the United States for the Saudi family. He was a friend of Rege Pahlavi.
22:46
the Shah's son, the guy who thinks he's going to take over Iran today, and business partner with Lan Benson, the senator's son. Jim Bath was also very good friends with George W. Bush and borrowed from Lamar Savings and Mainland Savings. And Mainland Savings is going to be one of the big savings and loan banks that we're going to talk about throughout this book.
23:15
Herman Beebe, Herman Beebe, the senior. We talk a lot about him in this book. He was a Louisiana financier, convicted felon and mafia associate that they all did business with. He had multiple connections to the intelligence community and basically had connections.
23:47
It's just it's like a spider web. He had connections through his bank to which was basically a mafia owned bank in Louisiana to almost all of the Texas savings and loans that eventually went under either by. He had an insurance company, too, of course, by insuring loans that they made or.
24:14
providing collateral from his bank, which was non-existent. They just forged pieces of paper saying they had these assets. And he was tied to the mafia in New Orleans, like in a big way. His son was also involved in it as well. We talked a little bit about Lloyd Benson, but another guy that we're going to talk about a lot.
24:42
is a guy by the name of Walter Misker, M-I-S-C-H-E-R. And this guy has a crazy story growing up. And he becomes kind of the pivotal guy in the Houston area in which everything flows around. He's involved in real estate. He meets with...
25:10
Vice President Bush, when he comes into town, he is literally like one of the main hubs in the story, as is Herman Beebe. Let's see. I'm just going through these real quick, just to kind of call out the ones. Jeb Bush, of course, with George Bush, makes a big appearance in here, too. And Jeb Bush.
25:47
During his time in South Florida, was a big Contra supporter, arranging funding. And they owned a berth area down there where boats docked that were loaded with weapons. He also was a business associate of a guy by the name of Camillo Pedreira, who escaped savings and loan conviction. And he was able to escape with help.
26:17
From the CIA, you know, the organization that Jeb's dad used to run. Yeah. And John Connolly makes a big appearance in this, who was the former Texas governor. Charles Keating worked on his 1980 Republican presidential race. And his partner, Ben Barnes, borrowed tens of billions, tens of millions, sorry, of dollars from.
26:48
many of the savings and loan that went belly up. So he got rich off of it. Robert Clark, former U.S. Comptroller of the Currency, lawyer with the Houston law firm Bracewell and Patterson, was involved with Walter Mishner and Mishner's Allied Bank, which again is one of the key banks associated with the Louisiana Bank.
27:17
That was controlled by the mafia, Herman Beebe. He helped charter West Belt National Bank, where Mike Atkinson took out lots of loans and was a stockholder. Ray Corona, former head of a mafia bank called Sunshine State Bank in Miami, which he fronted for drug smugglers, convicted felons.
27:50
He was a borrower from People's Savings in Texas, associate of mobsters and CIA operatives, because, of course, he was laundering money for them. And let's see, Robert Corson. We're going to talk a lot about him. He was a Houston good old boy and developer who owned Vision Bank Savings in Kingsville. He was also Missioners.
28:19
former son-in-law. He performed duties for the CIA and he was indicted along with Mike Atkinson for the $200 million savings and loan land deal in Florida. We're going to hear a lot about him. And here's a guy on the other end of this money laundering operation. His name's John Dick, literally spelled D-I-C-K. He lived in a mansion.
28:51
on the Isle of Jersey, one of the British islands in the English Channel. He was a Denver attorney who had lived in Russia and Canada. He was a business partner with Silverado, which is a bank in Colorado, borrower Bill Walters. He was an associate of two other nefarious people involved in the collapse. He borrowed money from Hill Financial Savings.
29:22
Involved in the Isle of Jersey Trust Company that was laundering drug money for Jack DeVoe and Lawrence Freeman and savings and loan money for Robert Corson and Mike Atkinson. He was also selling wheat to Russians and used the non-profit Youth for Christ as a cover. You know, like the missionaries we keep coming across.
29:54
Yeah, just like that. Let me bring Bridget back up. I found him very interesting. Okay. And this is where I found Stefan Halper again. You know, Stefan Halper, the guy that was associated with MI6.
30:23
worked in the Office of Net Assessment in the Pentagon that was part of Russiagate, that Stefan Helper. Yeah, he makes an appearance in this book. Isn't that weird? That's about the mafia and the CIA? Yeah. Stefan Helper co-founded with fellow George Bush supporter Harvey McLean Palmer National Bank in Washington, D.C. to launder money. That bank was financed.
30:54
completely by mafia member Herman Beebe. And it was used to funnel private donations to the Contras. He is son-in-law, Stefan Halper is the son-in-law of CIA Deputy Director Ray Klein. He also helped set up the legal fund for Oliver North. Isn't that nice of him?
31:30
I'm sure they laundered money into that, too, from their little stash everywhere. So, yeah, the deputy CIA director's son-in-law sets up a bank in Washington, D.C. to use for Iran-Contra that was 100% financed by the mafia. Nothing like keeping it in the family, right? Holy shit. Just saying. Holy shit. That one blew my mind. Okay.
32:06
Charles Keating is involved in this as well. And we all know what he went on to be responsible for. He was a recipient of a lot of money out of the savings and loan disaster. And he worked on John Connolly's 1980 presidential campaign, controlled Lincoln Savings. The first big deal Lincoln Savings did was with John.
32:37
Lincoln involved in a daisy chain set up with Larry Missile's MDC Holdings, Silverado Savings, and San Joaquino Savings. And he lent more than $30 million. Bridget, are you ready for this? He lent $30 million to Father Ritter's.
33:08
Covenant House. Oh, my God. Really? And for those of you who don't know, that was basically a child trafficking network. Color me not shocked, but shocked. I mean. And his pilot that flew him around everywhere, Charles Keating. Yeah. CIA. Ken Qualls. CIA. So Charles Keating had a CIA pilot.
33:44
and was donating $30 million to child trafficking Father Ritter's Covenant House that was implicated in like Guatemala child trafficking and all kinds of horrific things. Yeah. I wonder, it's like saying that you added it to John of God. Yeah. Yeah. It's literally crazy how this book.
34:14
connected so many pieces of things, all tied to the implosion of the savings and loan industry that was directly tied to Iran-Contra, weapons trafficking, now human trafficking, and the whole nine yards. And all of us that lived through that had not a fucking clue any of this was going on. Nothing. Nothing was written about it. Nothing.
34:43
In the national news. The only news. At the time. Was a local reporter. In Houston. So. And I'm sure he didn't live very long. Well he did. But like I said. He got fired. Not before he got a lot of good information out. But he did get fired. Okay. Who else was a good one? So Carlos. Marcello.
35:19
is the mob boss down in New Orleans that was best friends with the Herman Beebe guy. And he basically controlled a lot of what went on with the mafia in Texas as well. Because, you know, New Orleans is right around the corner from Houston. And he was also a close associate of Santo Trapacana, which was located in Tampa.
35:52
So they kind of controlled the entire Gulf Coast of mafia-related activity. Okay, I think, well, yeah, there's a little blurb here about Walter Mishner Sr., Houston developer, banker, power broker, who headed Allied Bank, Corson's former father-in-law, did business with the mafia and the CIA.
36:24
fourth largest landowner in Texas, owned 12% of Belize. This is where I got my Belize information from. They went down and bought the upper northwest corner of Belize, 12% of the landmass. He did that with partners.
36:57
He was a fundraiser for LBJ, Lloyd Benson, Ronald Reagan, George Bush and many others. OK, I think that was because we already know about Barry Seale. What it's what the author says about him is he was a.
37:23
murdered drug smuggler, gun runner, DEA informant, and CIA asset used by the CIA on drug stings with the Sandinistas, flew resupply missions for the Contras, caught in 1972 in a guns for drugs operation with Cuban exiles in Mexico that included a Texas rancher, a Gambino family associate,
37:54
And Herman Beebe, the mafia guy. So he had a lot of experience with all walks of life. He must have led a very interesting life. So that kind of sets the stage for the book. The first chapter, I'm not going to go into in any depth.
38:26
Because it basically tells the story of Walter Michener and his kind of his life story. It's really, really weird because his dad gets killed through a corrupt, like a gunfight.
38:55
He kind of grows up as a loner, but someone that was always wanting to prove to everyone that he was a big guy. And he ends up being a really, really big guy and a very rich big guy. But he ends up being very, very corrupt as well. So I don't think there's a lot of reason to.
39:20
go into that long story. But it is a very weird childhood that kind of set him up for his winner-take-all kind of attitude later on in life. And then tomorrow, we're going to go into the background of Herman Beebe and his mafia ties.
39:51
so that you can understand how well placed he was. Because again, he is one of the major kingpins in this story. His name comes up repeatedly as kind of a branching. If there was any way to do one of those brain maps, you would see that either directly related, i.e. sending the money to create a new bank,
40:20
or indirectly by loaning collateral money, he controlled a large network of approximately 20 banks that ended up failing. So basically, it would be like the mafia owning those banks because they were not viable without his leverage. And oftentimes, his leverage was a piece of paper.
40:49
Based on nothing. And that really is no different, if you think about it, in the stories we read about Nugent Hand and BCCI. BCCI did not have a computer system. They lent out money based on a paper ledger. They were the seventh largest bank in the world. They had branches in every nefarious corner of the world. And they didn't.
41:20
use a computer system. It was in a book of whose money was whose. And supposedly throughout this entire time that it operated, which was about 20 years, Price Waterhouse, who is the CIA's auditor of choice for all of their fake banks, certified them as passing audits.
41:45
How do you pass an audit when you don't even use a computer system, which at the time everybody used computer systems? And the only validation that you have of loans and collaterals is in a register, like a notebook. And that's literally the way they did business. And of course, BCCI had bank accounts for George H.W. Bush again, Saddam Hussein, Aiden Khashoggi.
42:16
Noriega, all of the people that they did major drug deals with all had bank accounts at BCCI because that's how they were skimming money off of the drug proceeds and funding covert operations.
42:35
And I want you guys and the reason why I'm spending time talking about this as a refresher is because I want you to understand the attributes of those banks. The same thing with Nugent Hand down in Australia, which was basically money laundering for the Golden Triangle, primarily Thailand, all of that stuff. They all have some very.
43:00
specific ways of doing business. And you're going to see them come up in the story over and over again. And basically, as he pointed out, the leveraging thing. And just in layman's term, you know that the fractional lending deal that we have here where you can lend out X amount of dollars for every $1 you have on deposit.
43:28
So basically what they were doing in a nutshell, and I'm just going to use fake numbers. If BB, Herman BB, put in $10 million to create a bank and they could then loan out like one to nine. I don't know what the ratio was at the time, but let's just pretend it was one to nine. So if he puts in 10 million, you can actually loan out.
43:58
nine times that amount of money. So in doing that, what you're supposed to do is have that amount of collateral to back up those loans. So if I borrow a million dollars, the bank's responsibility is to make sure I have at least a million dollars in assets that they could collect on should I default on the loan.
44:26
That's the part that was not happening. Basically, they loaned out all of this money based on fake collateral. They would loan it through each other's banks. And it was like a merry-go-round on the board members that anything over a million dollars had to be voted on by the board members. And so three of the five board members of Bank One would be on Bank Two.
44:53
And then the other two would be on bank three. And then bank two would have some on bank one and bank three. And so they were literally all loaning each other money. They would loan $10 million to bank two. Bank two would then loan it to their land developers or whatever, more corrupt people. They would then take this money that was based on,
45:23
Literally nothing. So in the case of Corson, he was one of the developers. He would buy a piece of real estate and he would borrow on that piece of real estate from three different banks. So now he's got $20 million, $30 million in loans on a piece of property that once it was developed may have been worth $5 billion. As it sat at the time, not even $100,000. Just a blank.
45:54
piece of land in Houston. Then they would let that blank piece of land sit there. If they did anything at all, it was minimal. After this was done and replicated 50 times, they just allowed the banks to fail. All the bank had was that worthless $100,000 piece of land that had $30 million worth of mortgages on it that they couldn't collect.
46:23
The people that were injured in this that thought their savings and loan was a regular bank and all of their money is now gone to creditors had to be bailed out by us. And at the end of this merry-go-round of them doing this over and over again with all of the same names, some of which I just read to you, it cost the United States hundreds of billions of dollars.
46:54
at the end of the merry-go-round. So we're going to walk through a couple of the examples of this. I'm not going to go through this whole book, but I want to at least illustrate with a couple of examples how these deals happened and what the long-term consequences of them are as examples so that you can understand that
47:22
This is how they do this kind of stuff. This is what the 2008 financial crisis was all about. It's the exact same thing, just different banks. It was a controlled implosion that left all of us. And of course, then they changed the laws. They do all of this other stuff that screws all of us. It's just one.
47:48
crisis after another crisis after another crisis. And by the way, as this author points out, none of this was possible prior to 1980. None of it. They could not have done any of this. One of the very first things Bush and Reagan did when they got in office was the deregulation of the savings and loans, which made all of this possible because they were going to use the savings and loan.
48:18
as money traffickers for the Contra operation that was coming up and all of the rest of their covert operations in Iraq, Kuwait, wherever. They purposely did this to facilitate the disaster that they knew. They planned the disaster. They literally planned the savings and loan implosion. And we're going to prove it based on this book.
48:49
Anybody have anything? It is just shows you, you know, because you're right. You know, we were alive during that time. We saw it all going down. And at that time, I remember none of it. Okay. Having a background in accounting didn't make any sense. Your practice budget. Sorry. Should never be able.
49:27
need to be bailed out. But now putting this in context, it all makes sense. It all makes sense. AP Jones says, is there a Gladio bank where we can hide our money? No, there's not. Our money's always going to be at risk. Their money's never at risk. All along, go ahead. Hi. I just want to, you know, in my chronological way,
50:05
Just raise a couple of questions here. I find, you know, this Senator Lloyd Benson, I find, you know, really a kind of intriguing figure because it's. Can you talk up a little bit so the people on Rumble can hear you? Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. Senator Lloyd Benson. Can you hear me now? Yeah. I find him an intriguing figure because, you know.
50:34
There's comparatively little is written about him. And as you mentioned, even, you know, even during the 88 campaign, he was just there. And he's just, you know, I think he suggested he's about as loathsome as they come, you know, in terms of institutional corruption. And I just I also, you know, reminds me of another senator that, in my opinion, perhaps not others.
51:03
uh but was from texas in um you know my good friend ralph yarborough um who was in the in the um jfk motorcade and he's never mentioned either and he's almost like you know just you might not agree with this but within the realm of american politics in my opinion he was almost at the other extreme he's kind of like a legacy of the populist democrats and he in my opinion he's like absolute no-fly zone because
51:33
of what he said about the limit about the uh motorcade you know his personal witnesses of the shooting uh and also the fact that his coalition was you know he was a you know kind of new deal democrat who could do that with merging black and white working class votes in texas that's pronounced in texas and you know according to the myth that we are taught that's impossible in in the south and it's just
52:00
We're taught that again and again, and yet in reality, it was not possible. But if you show Senator Yarborough, and it's like, then your Lloyd Benson good old boys do not seem inevitable, right? They are made that way through assassinations. There's nothing inevitable about them. You can get a different result, but if you try doing that...
52:26
Someone will get shot in the head and then, you know, the... They become inevitable because of attrition. Well, that's one way of putting it, I guess. Yeah. And, yeah, the other thing is, I think, you know, you mentioned the 1980, you know, I guess it's called the St. Germain Law or whatever after that, the congressman in Delft or Rhode Island or who sponsored that.
52:57
you know, that just deregulated the savings and loans. And it's just like, you know, I kind of, I think it's important to really, you know, remember that date of 1980, because, you know, in the 1970s, I mean, I could make a pretty strong argument that there's going to be a lot more debate on the Senate in, say, 1977.
53:24
Then just three years later, it's kind of a done deal. And, you know, why is that? Again, I think the 70s are an absolutely critical decade to look at, you know, how, you know, that oversight was undone through direct CIA intervention in the media. And, yeah, again, and also how, you know, you mentioned how these gigantic scandals, you know.
53:52
It's just it's truly stunning. You know, these scandals, the SNL scandal, the BCCI scandal in the late 80s and early 90s. And then the and then the banking scandal, you know, and the Enron scandal and the and the WorldCom scandal. You know, these were some of the they were the biggest scandals in in the U.S. history. And yet think about it right now. You have about if you're like.
54:21
under 45 your high school teacher didn't have a second to spend on that yeah you know and this you know it's just like it's a boring thought to think of like oh this high school teachers have discovered 10 more years now but it really really makes a difference because you know it creates a everything can be a conspiracy theory if you know nobody's
54:46
Had enough time to learn even the basics in high school because that's the only common denominator we have, you know, and after that, you know, the history teachers, the history majors might start reading and stuff. And so they can sound weird at a bar or something, you know, improve their social skills. But most people are not going to ever even hear about Enron, you know, or in these huge scandals. So you're saying that the difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy theory is the lack of.
55:16
Historical information. Yes. That's what I'm saying. Yes, absolutely. I agree with you 100%. Because these are conspiracies. They're just not theories. Yes. Exactly. And what you find, and thank you for mentioning Enron, because it's come up repeatedly as the Keating Five and all of these others. They're all related. We just didn't see the theme of the relationship until we created the foundation.
55:47
Of how this entire network operate. And once you have that foundation. And you go back. And you review all of these previous. Quote unquote. Crises. They have a place on that foundation. As a pillar. To what we're dealing with today. Yes. And my question. Last question. The answer is. These are the biggest. Scandals in capitalism.
56:19
Why is the U.S. left never mentioning them? You know, you already know the answer. They're a fake left and they're paid to not. They're essentially, you know, the high algorithm sites are essentially paid to leave the dots unconnected and to have everybody talking about what will never, ever matter. And, you know, the working class that they claim to represent.
56:49
is left the worst for it. But again, the Republicans could call the fake left out, but without the fake left, the Democrats don't become 100% CIA. There's one team. Whitey Herzog did not put Daryl Porter at shortstop. So the meeting that we've had at my house this past Saturday, I made that analogy. To me,
57:19
Because I'm a visual person. It's all of these people that end up in all of these, whether it's the State Department, the CIA, banking, government, politicians, all of them. At some point, when they have them in smaller groups, let's just take the latest class of skull and bones. When they graduate, there's 15 of them. Somebody is at the door of the tomb.
57:50
And they have their hand full of two sticks, two size sticks. One's two inches and one's three inches. And they're holding in the hands. And you remember the old draw the straws for whoever's going to be it on tag or whatever. They all draw straws. The short ones get to be Democrats and the long ones get to be Republicans. And then.
58:17
They're going to go out because they're secretly aligned in the same organization. And they're going to pretend to be Democrats and pretend to be Republicans for the performance of the next 40 years of their positioning in whatever infrastructure that they are designed to go on and do, whether it's the CIA, the FBI, the government.
58:44
run as a politician, all of the above, whatever. But they're all collectively from the same pot of people working behind the scenes collectively. And there is no actual left or right. It's all a kabuki dance. And of course, everybody laughed because they know it's all true.
59:10
You described it one time as a struggle session. Yeah. I think. Yeah, exactly. And that is absolutely what it reminds me. It reminds me of the old fake Kung Fu movies. Yes. Yes. It's literally all fake. And as soon as you realize that, you cannot tell me, bring that to today. Everything that's going on, the today's announcement of that judge throwing out the Comey.
59:40
None of that would even have been an issue had the Republicans taken the nuclear option avenue and confirmed all of Trump's appointees. None of it would have happened. So this is literally theater for small-minded people who don't understand what they're watching is a performance.
1:00:10
They are pretending to be on opposite sides of the aisle. But at the end of the day, they all end up cohesively moving our country towards their one government option incrementally. All along, go ahead. Yeah, I just, Colonel, I agree with what you're saying here. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you. All right. I still think.
1:00:42
that you know when you get a situation like between 1963 and 1968 where um you know with those with those assassinations i i think that we have to ask ourselves why do those assassinations and what was going on under the hood that is rarely mentioned namely the the changes and struggles like between the
1:01:12
Walter Reuther versus George Meany, the more CIA oriented. Well, but that goes to your point you already made. If you don't comply with this structure, you get taken out. Right, right. And I think, but the point here, which I better hurry up and sharpen this point, if there is one, is that.
1:01:40
why are those events so censored by everyone, you know? And so that, you know, the, the left media doesn't, the Republicans don't, the Democrats don't talk about them. So it ends up like Tucker Carlson will say one day, CIA, okay, CIA killed JFK. And then it's not mentioned again. And it's just like, and then the left gatekeepers will say, oh, well, that sounds like something Tucker would say. It's, you know, even at that level of media,
1:02:10
I call it the Tucker Tucker where party where something that should be of interest to anybody who cares about this or pretends to even care about the working class is going to is going to be interested in these assassinations because the Democrats were, you know, expanding the CIO part of the AFL-CIO, which was more of the lower paid workers. And they were also trying to.
1:02:35
overcome the racial barriers within the AFL-CIO. But that's not allowed. And immediately everybody gets shot in the head. But that's not allowed. I know it's not allowed. But my point being is the reason that they're censored, that these events are censored, is because anyone who compares New York Senator RFK in 1968 with Senator Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer right now, game over. Right. And so that's why, in my opinion, these events needs to be put.
1:03:04
constantly talked about because that contrast is clearly what they fear because it reveals oh the democrats of right now are doing 180 the opposite of the 1968 rfk campaign at every single level right i mean that was that was uniting mexican american and this it was uniting black and white working class boom boom boom so of course if you're an actual leftist or like
1:03:31
You talk about that nonstop, but of course they talk about nothing else. They censor nothing more than these events. And I think one of the things, if anyone wants to end, you know, I feel like, you know, Colonel, I'm not a Donald Trump fan. And I'm more of a, you know, probably I would consider myself a leftist, whatever on God's name that means at this point.
1:04:01
in U S history. But to me, you know, if anybody who wants change has to, you know, pop the Democrats first, because, um, because the thing is they're, they're the, the, they're the illusion factory right now. Yes. And so the assassinations I think are really what can do that. And, and God, do they know it? Yes. Yes. Because they've used them effectively.
1:04:30
To silence anyone who and of course, they tried to do that. And I appreciate you being honest about Trump. But at the same time, he was gathering Hispanic blacks and whites under a different umbrella. And of course, they attempted to assassinate him, too. It's not allowed. You have to have these fake divisions.
1:04:57
in order to create the chaos, in order for you to implement the control. Anytime anybody gathers large ethnically shades of different ethnicities together in a coalition is a target because you show that you can bring Americans together and focus on what we have in common.
1:05:28
With humanity. As opposed to what we have. Different. And that's not allowed. You can only focus publicly. On differences. In order to divide. Because a divided. Country. Is conquerable. And you go back in history. In the breakup of Yugoslavia. Czechoslovakia. They do that so that they control. The people.
1:05:57
within those elements and i thought it was rich recently when um the evil bitch from the eu was saying you can't change ukraine's boundaries you fucking changed every boundary in the world that you wanted to you created a country out of whole cloth called tanga so you could control the uranium they do this all the time but they only do it when they can affect control over it
1:06:26
They're not going to do it or even contemplate doing it when it gathers ethnically like-minded people together because it's the division. Having those ethnic Russians in Ukraine so that they can create chaos is essential to being on Putin's doorstep with NATO. And if you don't have that,
1:06:55
they lose that element of chaos, hence control. So that's exactly what they're doing in the United States with race. And that's why they're fixated on race. It has nothing to do with them actually caring about anybody. It has to do with them controlling everyone. Bridget, go ahead. I'm waiting for them to create Ukraine-istan. Just saying.
1:07:29
To just nerd out for a second, to give you an idea all along, is exactly what you're saying about the censorship. With the exception of my hunting hiatuses periodically, I watched the algorithm on the colonel's post. And one time I saw the most unusual anomaly ever, and that was actually when she was responding, replying to.
1:07:58
Chuck Schumer. And generally, to put it in perspective, even when there's censorship going on, even though her account has over 50,000 followers, she may get, let's say, 500, 600 views on a very stamped down post. In this particular case, it was less than 100. And the only anomaly I could see was that she tagged Chuck Schumer.
1:08:32
And if that's not a give and tell, I don't know what is. I mean, that's just, but they can't allow the curtain to be pulled back on their clown show. Because if once we realize they have made it so tribalism, so us versus them on the Democrat Republican side, that if they pull the curtain back.
1:09:00
to reveal that it's two wings of one party, we stop fighting amongst each other. Yeah. And when we do that, that's their biggest fear. Yeah, absolutely. And thanks to all of you. I hope all of you saw the post that I made where Clayton Morrison redacted when he was interviewing Alex Jones mentioned us and the strategy of tension.
1:09:28
Because that obviously stuck with him. It is foundational to understanding everything. And that was a big feather in all of our caps in getting this information out and you guys tagging people and spreading the word. So keep it up. And the sky's the limit.
1:09:56
I know unequivocally that the information I and also I have to share this. I don't remember the gentleman's name, so I know he'll be watching this eventually. He was he just recently found out about our Rumble channel. And when he came to the Patriot gathering on Saturday.
1:10:20
came up and introduced himself and said that he was binge watching our Venezuela series. And he's like, he's prior service as well. And he's like, my mind's just blown. My mind's blown. My mind's blown. I can't believe this. He said, I can't believe that I'm here. I can't believe that I got to meet you. He says, it's just amazing how much information is out there. And he said, and I was explaining to him how.
1:10:47
Bridget had arranged the Rumble channel so that you can just kind of go through each book at your own pace. And he's like, I have so much to catch up on. And I told him, I said, well, don't burn yourself out. There's a lot of information out there. He says, it just makes so much more sense when you understand that all of this information is out there and they're purposely hiding it from us. And that's true.
1:11:20
Jonas is saying I need a strategy of tension t-shirt. You're right. I do. I'm going to make myself a note. That's great. Bridget and I'll have to play around with some examples of that. But that's a great idea. So anyway, yes, and Bridget's reminding people over there on Rumble, make sure you put the thumbs up.
1:11:45
um on there as well so anyway we're gonna close it down for today we will be back tomorrow i don't know if we're gonna do a show on wednesday if i do a show on wednesday it's gonna be early um like at eight or nine o'clock in the morning um i'm trying to remember um but if i don't
1:12:09
I'll figure it out between today and tomorrow. We're definitely doing the four o'clock tomorrow, but my daughter's flying in from Austin. We will not do the Alpha Warrior show on Wednesday. I'll be at the airport picking her up and she'll be here through Saturday. So I probably won't be doing a show. If I do, it will kind of be at a weird time just because we've got a lot going on.
1:12:36
But I will do a couple this weekend after I get her back on an airplane on Saturday morning. And because I don't want to get behind in the material here. But again, this is not going to be a long drawn out one because there's so many names you just get lost. I'm just going to kind of give you an overview of each of the chapters and the main players in it. So in a couple of detailed examples,
1:13:06
of a couple of the implosions and who are tied to them. Probably we'll do the one out in Colorado because it's tied to Jeb Bush, just so that you guys can see the connections there. But yeah, Bridget says she's still trying to plug it into an AI map.
1:13:27
It would be so much easier to present the material visually so that you could see all of the different wiring diagrams behind each of these banks because it's literally mind-blowing. But obviously, if you guys want to fill in a lot more of the detail, you're welcome to purchase the book yourself. I'm just going to give you an overview and then we're going to move on. So that's it for today. I will see you tomorrow.
1:13:57
Take care everybody. Have a nice evening.
