0:00 Okay. I'm going to go ahead and... Hey, Bridget. Hey, SR71. So I don't know how many people we're going to have in here today. I'm going to wait a couple of minutes and let everyone announce or send it out if you guys could do that for us to let everybody know that we're starting.

0:31 And where is Liza? Oh, my gosh. She got me off on a whole rabbit hole fiasco that ate up my entire morning that I was supposed to be put. Go ahead, Bridget. I believe at the moment she is delivering grain or something. Anyway, she may be in and out.

1:03 And it took a little while. I looked up after going through that whole thread I just posted and went, oh, crap, it's time to go do spaces. That little shit, send me that stuff. And then I go through it and my head is just racing with stuff because that was such a great find as far as an article that kind of tied together bits and pieces that we had already found.

1:30 Because, of course, I'm very familiar with the Afghanistan angle. And I knew that there was a lot of bleed over from the Mujahideen into the Chechnyan conflict. But that was so well laid out. And naming all of the players in that article, which we've independently researched, and then plugging them all in with the background as we moved along to include Bill Browder.

1:58 And the setup of Russia to begin with and the economic warfare, it just like blew my mind and I couldn't stop. So anyway, this will be a little less prepared just because it's all Liza's fault. Oh, God. I just got a note. She is on her way. There she is. Yeah, I just I don't know if she wants to be a co-host. I'll let her. I'll send her both.

2:33 invitations. I don't know what she's up to. Oh, it's me in air. Can you do it, Bridget? I'll try. Anyway, it's hilarious. Hello? Yeah, I was just... Can you guys hear me? Anybody? I can hear you. Okay, I'm here. So I can talk about you not behind your back.

3:09 I guess you can hear me. You went to town on those couple of articles, huh? I see her mic is off, but I'm not hearing her. Oh, damn it. Can you hear me? Yes, I can hear. Can you hear me? Yeah. Okay, guys, you're going to have to dump her. I have to drop her down and bring her back up. Yeah. There, she had to turn her mic on. Oh, okay. I did turn my mic on. I'm just teasing you. Oh, you can't hear me. Oh.

3:41 Oh, couldn't hear you. I heard you now. I see what you're doing. Yeah. Wicked funny. Ha ha. Okay. Um, I guess you went to town with those couple of articles, huh? Oh my gosh. I only got through one. Oh, that's so funny. That's what I was caught on here. Um, I had, I knew quite a bit about the Hadim connection to Chet Sneha, um, just from other stuff that I have read. Um, and the fact that, um,

4:13 So I'm familiar with that. What I didn't have, because I was completely unaware, knowing what I knew back then, of the overlay of the whole. And now that I know all about Bill Browder and what he was about stabilizing Russia, that article with the naming of names and the fact that because, you know, that article could have been about four pages. Right.

4:43 of the interplay where he mentions George H.W. Bush and James Baker, but nothing about Carlyle and the setting up of that financial equity firm that bought basically all of the military industrial complex of the United States and brought, after they did that, they brought in Saudi Arabia as an investor. And so Saudi Arabia basically owns a good percent of our military industrial complex through that capital investment.

5:13 called Carlyle. And a lot of people don't know that. And so those same people are obviously of the oil industry. And then you have them redirecting an oil pipeline to screw Russia and benefit the American and UK. So there was just so much there that I wanted to tie together for everybody because it brought in so many different pieces of what we already knew about Operation Gladio.

5:43 Can I just real quick, I am going to have my hands full, but I did want to sit in on this because what Bridget and I found fascinating is finding those two articles and you being able to put together a thread of such detail from it. It's like the three of us are reading each other's mind. And I thought that that was just totally mind blowing insane.

6:08 And I don't know if you want to share those articles, which I will not be able to do. But Bridget, you know where they are? Yes. I think what we should do, if you don't mind, I think we should have a separate. I lost you. OK, it looks like we've got a little technical difficulties hanging in there while we get these lined out. Can you hear me, Bridget? Now I can. Yeah, I can hear you now as well. You were just gone for a minute. All right.

7:10 I don't want to put those articles in there. I want to do a separate spaces. There's so much there and we need to walk through it. And I didn't get a chance to look at the other one. And I want to vet all of the information in there as well. Makes sense to me. So I'm going to, I'm going to let you guys go. I'm just going to be listening in. And again, I want to thank everyone from overseas for everybody sending Bridget articles and information.

7:50 Colonel, you are banding. Come on, buddy. Bridget, can you hear me better now? Oh, yes. Much better. Thank you. All right. I went ahead and moved outside. For some reason, my office gets the best reception in the entire house, except for when I'm on spaces. And that's the most bizarre thing to me.

8:31 It's definitely I mean, I can do full on video. That's where I do all my rumble recordings. And I can't simply be on a phone line to do spaces in there without banding. There's something going on with Twitter. Anyway. All right. So we're going to get started. If you guys wouldn't mind to repost the space and invite all your friends in. We're going to talk a little bit about Bolivia today.

8:59 And there may be a part two to this one as well, depending on how this goes, because this is a very interesting, and there's so much back history here. We're just literally kind of dancing across the surface on all of these different countries, because I want you to get a basic understanding of how they all interplay.

9:26 At some point, it would be a good idea to go back and do some deep dives, but we need to establish patterns first. So this story begins, obviously, in 1964. There's a guy by the name of Victor Paz Estesoro who was given a choice when he was overthrown by yet another Bolivian military coup that he could be taken.

9:55 either to the cemetery or to the airport. And he opted to fly to Lima and go into exile. The man who led the coup, and at least he got an offer because in many cases, you know, like when we reviewed Allende in, I guess they gave him a choice too. He decided to stand and fight and was killed in the presidential palace there.

10:24 But some of them didn't get a choice. The man who led the coup in November of 1964 and replaced Paz, P-A-Z, was the Vice President General Rene Barantos Artuno, R-T-U-N-O.

10:52 They had had over 150 changes of government in Bolivia in the 139 years of its independence from Spain. But very few of those was from elections. Now, and you have to contrast that with where we were in some of the other ones like Chile and Uruguay, where there had been relatively speaking.

11:20 peace and stability and were hallmarks of democracies where this place had been a pit of hell for a very long time. And Paz was unseated despite support from the American ambassador, who at the time was Douglas Henderson, because both the CIA and the Pentagon wanted the president out.

11:49 But Barrientos, the former commander of the Air Force, had a very close relationship with both the CIA and the Pentagon. And his basic point of contact, if you will, for the U.S. was a guy by the name of Colonel Edward Fox, F-O-X. And Fox was his personal flying instructor and drinking buddy.

12:18 He, the, let's see, Paz had actually went to flight school and quite a few military training inside the United States. And presumably that's where he ran into Met Fox. But in 1964, Fox was actually in the Bolivian capital.

12:48 working with the CIA as a military attache. And so again, we have what I keep bringing up, the graying out of the line between CIA and the military. There is a cadre of military, and I'm going to say this every time, there's a cadre of military that aren't military, they're CIA. There's a cadre of the State Department that are not State Department, they're CIA.

13:18 And so when you get into these embassies, you could literally consider the entire embassy staff a CIA hornet's nest. So regardless of what the title is or what uniform or civilian clothes they're wearing, and we need to be aware of that because it becomes a pattern in these coups. Not surprisingly, Cuba was one of the hotspots.

13:55 between Fox and Paz. That was something they disagreed on. Paz had been directly opposed to American policy and voted against Cuba's being exposed, their expulsion from the Organization of American States in 1962.

14:23 He refused to also break diplomatic relationship between Cuba and Bolivia. So that was kind of one of the stumbling blocks between Paz and Fox. But in August of 1964, there's been like five phone calls in the last two minutes.

15:09 No, no. It's just always this way. When Bolivian and American relationships were just short, this is the quote from the author, just short of an open quarrel. Paz finally broke with the U.S. and it was a case of conforming.

15:35 or facing a severe cut in U.S. aid, because, of course, we know that they're going to bully people. And the U.S. or the New York Times wrote an article that basically said that, quote, it was a case of conforming or of facing a severe cut in U.S. aid, unquote. The Bolivian government's attempts to attract economic aid and investment from outside the U.S.

16:02 Leads them, obviously, to the Soviet Union. It always does. But they also approached countries like Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, which we know what happened to them, too. Here, the Bolivians eventually yielded to the U.S. pressure. Fox and Ambassador Henderson had their own disagreements as well.

16:31 Regarding POS and whether or not he should remain in office, because, you know, they just assume that's our call, even though that's a foreign government. Both were uncomfortable with both the political and economic power that was.

16:50 starting to develop in the mining camps because we know these people all work for the International Syndicate, right? So if there's going to be labor problems and there's going to be problems for the International Syndicate, then they get their marching orders accordingly. So the miners had basically a labor leader, whether it was an official labor union or not, by the name of Juan Lectin, L-E-C-H-I-N.

17:20 And he also, Juan Lecton, was a former vice president who basically wanted Paz's job. The miners controlled their own area of the country. They also had their own militia, their own radio station, and they were intensely opposed to the military because they were very aware that the military, any time that...

17:48 There was a disagreement with the current administration, as in the number of coups that they'd had. They just overthrow the country and move on. And so they didn't want that instability in their area. So they basically formed a country within a country. And they were seen as a force that was basically much more, and I'm going to use the term the author used, radical than the president.

18:17 but not radical as we would understand it. They just were independent. But to the international syndicate, that's a radicalism because they don't want anybody outside of their system. So a four-month strike in the mines in mid-1963 was obviously going to be a crisis because of the overlords within the international syndicate. You know, if there's a strike, then they're losing money. So they get...

18:46 their paramilitary Gladio slash embassy people on the line and start cracking some whips. So the minister of mines under Paz was a guy by the name of Rene Zabaleto Mercado. And he later wrote, quote, for over a year and a half, the American embassy in the form of Mr. Henderson urged with almost weekly.

19:14 regularity that the army be sent to the mining zones and threatened to otherwise suspend financial programs, quote. So you have, again, the U.S. ambassador working for the international syndicate mine owners and not the U.S. government or on our behalf.

19:41 Hawes recognized the challenge to his own rule posed by the miners and lectern, but the likely political damage ensuing from an armed intervention was more than he was willing to risk. The very existence of an army to send in owed more than a little to the American efforts to rebuild and basically buy another localized armed forces.

20:10 And that's in essence what the U.S. military and the U.S. government has done. When you get to the bottom of Operation Gladio, you realize that the U.S. military is a drop in the bucket to the subordinate militaries that our tax dollars has bought that act on behalf not of us.

20:36 but of the international syndicate through the state and CIA. So I hope that's becoming clear to everybody. So when you look at all of the militaries that we schooled at the School of Americas and Fort Benning throughout South America, those all become subsidiaries of the U.S. government and not our U.S. military per se, but the CIA and the State Department and the executive office.

21:06 They're just using the US military as the trainers and not that we don't engage because we certainly do. But I want you to understand that if you had an organizational chart, you could put the US military at the top, but you would actually basically align all of the other militaries, the Korean military, South Korea, obviously, and all of the South American militaries because we bought and paid for all of them.

21:34 And when we want one of them, like in Turkey, to coup the current president, we just pick up the phone or have somebody from the embassy walk across the street. So that's kind of a foot stomper for me. That was one of my revelations in digging through Operation Gladio. So you had in 1952, there was an armed popular revolt.

22:06 that defeated the military in Bolivia. It displaced the oligarchy. It nationalized the tin mines. It instituted land reform and set up a new government under an organization that stands for Movement National Revolution. It's called MNR. And it reduced the military to a small discredited force.

22:35 At the time, fostering a missionary militia concept, decades of coups and other abuses had cut a wide swath of anti-military sentiment across the entire Bolivian population. Despite the certain segments of the labor elements, traditional armed forces were not completely dismantled.

23:04 It proved to be a fatal error for the MNR movement and their fledgling democratic institutions. Now understand that this is true democracy. This is a true people's movement. So you know immediately based on all that we've uncovered in Operation Gladio that the U.S. government and the international syndicate is going to be absolutely opposed to this initiative. Primarily,

23:30 It served as a counterweight to the strength of the militias the military did. And because of American pressure, both Paz and his predecessor had permitted, however reluctantly, the slow but significant rejuvenation of the military. Under U.S. guidance, the Bolivian Army became the first in Latin America to launch a civics action program, building roads, schools, designed...

24:00 to improve the image, and that is propaganda, people. No country in the Western Hemisphere is more dependent on Washington aid, wrote the New York Times, and nowhere has the U.S. Embassy played a more basically obstructive role in establishing that fact. Washington employed its economic leverage to create a government policy.

24:31 towards the military that was favorable. And in doing so, with the large presence of U.S. military down there doing it, their hope was to shed that favorable look to the U.S. as well. That's what you call propaganda. More money followed, more recruits, new equipment.

24:56 All of the hierarchy of prominent officers educated in the United States, political indoctrination courses for the officers, and basically the academics on the other side of that, like the civilian academics that our military prides itself on, was basically eliminated. They basically were just politically indoctrinated.

25:23 They also attended the U.S. School of America's in the Panama Canal zone. And by 1964, 1,200 Bolivian officers and other senior NCOs had received training either in the U.S. or on the Panama base, including 20 of the 23 Army officers. The military had come a long way towards recouping its former size and prestige.

25:50 The School of America's observed the Washington Post in 1968 counts so many important Latin, this is a quote, counts so many important Latin officers as alumni that it is known throughout Latin America as the, basically the coup school, unquote. Because every single military officer that was installed as a president.

26:20 following a coup, had been educated at the School of Americas. Whether the Americans' motivation for reviving the military was basically to instigate a military takeover, obviously that goes to motivation, but it would be wrong to dismiss that, obviously, because at a minimum, the...

26:47 Bolivian revolution with its potential for independence from the United States. And given the country's history, the military process and basically infiltrating it and co-opting it was critical to the continued control by the U.S. The Pentagon has long seen the military of Latin America as a natural partner in their nation building.

27:16 with the U.S. as at the top of the pyramid. So the author goes on and points out the conviction was spelled out by a Colonel Truman Cook of the American Military Assistant Mission in Bolivia in a pamphlet that he wrote on civic action program. So here's the quote.

27:43 This is a quote. The military organization is perhaps the only institution endowed with the organization, order, discipline, and self-sacrificing attitude towards objectives for the common good, dot, dot, dot. Should political and economic institutions fail, dot, dot, dot, then there is a real possibility that the military would move in against graft and corruption in government, dot, dot, dot.

28:09 It is naive to assume that they might not move to power in a classic sense, unquote. Now, if this is not propaganda, I don't know what the hell is. So first he starts off with how great the military is, with their order and their discipline and how they're sacked.

28:30 self-sacrificing. None of these SOBs were self-sacrificing. They were all on the payroll. They were all getting rich off the CIA because the CIA was paying them money under the table. There's nothing self-sacrificing about any of these. And I'm not talking about the U.S. military. I'm talking about these foreign countries' military. They were all on the CIA payroll. Then it says, in the off chance that the political and economic institution fails, these bastards made them fail.

29:00 They sabotage them. They create riots in the street. They make sure any of them fails, that they want to fail. And then it says, if the military had to move in against graft and corruption in government, again, these banisters are the one creating the graft and corruption in the government.

29:25 then maybe in the off chance all of that happens, which it happens every single time, we may have to move in. It's ridiculous. And this is written by a U.S. military officer. I mean, it makes you want to throw up. Also unknown at, it was unknown at what point that General Barrientos and his co-conspirators actually decided to oust.

29:59 Paz, because Paz has decided he's not going to interfere with the mine strike and he's, you know, he's opening communications with other people. So, you know, that's dead man walking for the CIA. And so what the author points out is there was two factors. The general's ascendancy to office, to the office of vice president was crucial part of the process.

30:27 that the role played by the CIA and the Pentagon in obtaining that office for Bariatos was important. So you have the MNR's convention in January 1964. Paz sidestepped Bariatos, who had made his candidacy known and chose a civilian by the name of Federico.

30:53 Fortune, F-O-R-T-U-N, to be his running mate. Barrientos proved to be a bad loser. He declared publicly that the nomination was a mistake and continued politicking, finally compelling the president to ask for his resignation as chief of the Air Force. The general was given one week in which to submit it.

31:20 A few days later, however, a scenario began to unfold which grabbed Bariantos from the edge of the abyss. On the evening of February 25th, there supposedly took place a shooting attempt on Bariantos' life. Some accounts have him near death. Others said he was only wounded. It does appear rather...

31:45 that he was moved by military vehicle to the airport and then flown in a U.S. Air Force plane to an American hospital in the Panama Canal zone, which happened to be 2,000 miles away. No Bolivian doctor ever examined Barriantos. So what they're saying is we don't even know if he was actually shot. It could have been a false flag. In the days following,

32:13 while Barriantos was still in the hospital, supposedly, undergoing a lengthy operation, he was portrayed by the co-opted press in Bolivia, which we've already talked about, as a national hero and sacrificing himself on behalf of his country. This was particularly the case in a

32:42 a periodical called El Dario, an influential, strongly anti-pa's newspaper. And according to later testimony of a member of Barrianto's new cabinet, some of the newspaper staff actually was paid for by the CIA. Shocker. Moreover, this newspaper staff's board members was

33:10 One of the lieutenant colonels that was a West Point graduate and an employee of the U.S. Embassy in Bolivia. He worked on a NGO called Alliance for Progress. You know, one of those State Department, like USAID kind of things, or George Soros NGOs.

33:40 So after the coup, he just miraculously happens to come up on the short list of minister of economics and eventually gets appointed as a Bolivian ambassador to Washington, D.C. It's just magic the way that happens. The press coverage included the story of Barrianto's life was spared only because the bullet struck his.

34:05 U.S. Air Force silver wings that he just happened to always wear on his uniform. And let me just tell you, those silver wings ain't going to save your life. This became the quote-unquote silver bullet affair, as it was referred to in the future, and generated great sympathy for this hero. Here's a quote.

34:33 This came from a historian in Bolivia. Hinted publicly that Paz's police had been responsible for the alleged attack. Strong pressures from other high officers as well was exerted upon Paz to vindicate both himself and Barriantos by belatedly including the general on the ticket. And Paz felt he could not refuse, unquote. So you see why it was all done?

35:04 Ten days later, after the mysterious incident, the president dumped Fortune, replaced him with Bariantos, and went on to his re-election. Bariantos himself later conceded that without the silver bullet, or magic bullet as others dubbed it, he would have never been vice president.

35:25 His eight months as a candidate and as vice president in office served in turn to tie up all the loose ends required for the military to return from their 12-year hiatus and former skeleton staff to stage their coup with a minimum of opposition. Barianto's ascendancy furnished a distinct legitimacy to the military and the general.

35:49 He regularly used his platform to champion the armed forces and defend it against the deeply seated anti-militarism of the population. So that's synonymous. And if you go back and read many of the accounts, it would be like us and our disenchantment with the FBI. And then the government staged a false flag of the FBI.

36:18 to get us to buy back into feeling sorry for them. That's basically what they just did here. So Barrientos also denounced all of the militias to include the ones that were guarding the mines and called for their disillusionment. He also took the step of undermining the government of which he was now vice president by publicly

36:46 reproaching the president and the MNR, particularly when they criticized the military or by throwing his support to anti-government groups. These tactics served to show up the president's weakness and succeeded in rallying Barrientos aside of many of the military officers that had been trained by the U.S.

37:10 It appears that little, if anything, further was heard of Barrianto's injury, although during the period that he miraculously escaped, several other reported assassination attempts, including a bomb which blew up his car when no one was in it, and another bomb which someone found its way under his bed, but of course didn't pose a risk to him.

37:31 Now, keep in mind that all of these same people that were trained at schools of America would have been trained on bomb making because that's part of the curriculum. Paz had been reelected because of the opposition claiming, amongst other things, unfair electoral procedures, had decided to abstain without pausing for breath.

37:59 tangled mess that is Bolivia's politics continued and widespread discontentment and arising longstanding grievances fueled with personal ambitions, confrontations, demonstrations, all of the stuff that you see to create the strategy of tension and the general chaos in which the CIA loves to create in order to establish control.

38:28 lending his weight to the dissident elements, attacking the beleaguered president and taking himself on as the role of the defender of order. So he's basically trying to flip the script from he's acting more like the president and treating Paz more like the vice president.

38:50 This period of public chaos and government crisis may have hastened the timing of the coup, which obviously is the CIA's desire. At the same time, convincing reluctant officers who didn't want to have anything to do with another coup and was more on the sides of Bolivia being more of a democracy fell more and more in line with Barrientos. Three years later, the Washington Post.

39:18 would report, quote, has still insisted that Fox was behind his ouster. That's the colonel, the U.S. Air Force colonel. Among Bolivians with an awareness of politics, it is hard to find anyone who disagrees, unquote. So Rene Barriantos pressed the hard line against the 10 minors. He inflicted upon them a 50% cut in salary.

39:49 Miner's boss, Juan Lecton, and other union leaders were ordered exiled and principal labor confederations was banned. All Bolivian unions were directed to reorganize under guidelines that basically made them wards of the state. And of course, that's exactly what the international syndicate wants because they want to control labor. Then the army moved in.

40:16 Repeated invasions and occupations of the mining camps over a period of time was needed to get the ultra militant miners under control. The fighting was bloody. They killed 70 of them in one raid alone.

40:38 The United States was not a disinterested observer during this time. In February of 1966, the Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, presented an assessment of the international situation, telling Congressional Committee, quote, violence in the mining areas and in the cities of Bolivia.

41:02 has continued to occur intermittently, and we are assisting this country to improve training and equipping of its military forces, unquote. And, you know, generally speaking, back then, that would sound like a great thing to do, except for we now understand that it is the military forces that are working with the CIA in order to destabilize their government.

41:25 This was all the defense secretary had to report about Bolivia. It was a routine report that had been written by a Pentagon researcher that completely buried what was going on and what was known both inside the military at that level, at the SECDEF level, and in the State Department. And in reality, because keep in mind, Colonel Fox is the military attache in the country. They know damn good and well what's going on.

41:55 A natural as American financial contributors to Barrientos, Antonio Argudas, A-R-G-U-E-D-A-S, who was the minister of interior under Barrientos, later disclosed that the CIA had contributed $600,000 to the Bolivian leader in 1966 when he decided to hold an election.

42:26 parties received lesser sums. Our goddess, our Judas, was an admitted agent of the CIA. In 1968, he gave the world Che Guevara's diary, claiming that the agency had pushed him too hard. Also revealed that Gulf Oil donated $200,000 to Barrio's campaign, as well as a helicopter for his tours.

42:57 around the province. Gulf Oil Corporation subsequently admitted that it had paid Bolivian officials, mainly Barrientos, a total of almost half a million dollars in political contributions from 66 to 69 at the CIA's recommendation, although the company may have needed but little prodding because, of course, we know the operation is exactly the opposite. The CIA works on behalf of these international syndicate people.

43:27 And in response, miraculously, Gulf Oil got the oil concessions for Bolivia. Imagine that. In the two years following the disappearance of Che Guevara from public view, in early 1965, rumors had placed him at different times in the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Guatemala, the Congo.

43:58 China, Vietnam, and even New York, always plotting, quote, always plotting revolution with some menacing and bunch of desperados, unquote, which we know is exactly the opposite. You cannot like Shea Cavera for his participation in death squads in Colombia. However, Shea Cavera unequivocally showed up everywhere the CIA was mass murdering people.

44:27 using Gladio operations throughout Central and South America. Those are just facts. And both things can be true at the same time. Word also had it that he had gone mad and was confined to an insane asylum or that he was imprisoned or executed by Castro. These stories and others like them became the handiwork of the CIA.

44:57 The agency was ever inventive, but always trying to present unfavorable press information on Shea Calvera. And as a matter of fact, I read one article that basically said they had a dedicated person that did nothing but plant these stories about Shea Calvera because he...

45:21 In many of the communities in Central and South America was a Robin Hood. He was a trained doctor. He provided medical services to many of the injured people that were injured by our Gladio operations. And he went and added leadership recommendations on successful.

45:43 ways to thwart the CIA's working in all these places. And so he was very well thought of. So it, and he was in so many different countries because we were in so many different countries. It became a full-time job just planting these bad stories, trying to countermand the favorable impression that he had in all of these countries, which I find ridiculous. In the two years,

46:12 Okay, let's see. When evidence began popping up in early 1967 that Shea was leading guerrillas in the mountains of Bolivia, there was understandable skepticism among the agency officials. Nonetheless, obsessed as the CIA was with tracking him down because he had created such a headache for them, they mounted a massive

46:45 operation to check out the rumors. American military supplies for combating the guerrilla forces there immediately was dispatched, communication equipment, helicopters. They ended up with a unit of 16 Green Berets dispatched from the Panama Canal to go down there and basically do

47:13 what they referred to as on-the-spot training and counter-insurgencies. But come on, all of these, their entire apparatus had been already trained there. They weren't doing training. They were doing operational support. They're just not allowed to say that. The Green Berets had a team of experts in communication, intelligence, and recon.

47:37 And aerial photographs taken of approximately 23,000 square miles of southern Bolivia. And let me point out something to you guys that I found completely fascinating. When we did the research on Jonestown's Gladio Base in Uruguay, one of the massive things that we exposed was there was a reconnaissance base there.

48:05 that they were launching aircraft to do 100% mapping of all of South America. And that was at the same time that they were creating all of the opium fields there, basically at the conclusion of the Vietnam War. And so they were mapping all of that, basically, in my opinion, to find appropriate places for airstrips, which they end up doing.

48:34 Many of them under military-to-military exchanges, they build all of these airfields supposedly to get quote-unquote coffee to market. It was not. They also did it in order to outline where gladio training operations could occur and not be seen. And so that's what...

48:59 And knowing background like that, when you read something like what I just read about the fact that they're bringing all of these aerial maps, you know exactly where they generated those aerial maps from because they spent a long time mapping every inch before. Obviously, this was before satellites, but we had very detailed maps of all of Bolivia and every other country down there.

49:26 It also used detection systems, thermal radiation, and basically like the early versions of night vision goggles. And they could observe where campfires and vehicles were based on the heat element. And so our guys were not down there being trainers. Sorry, not.

49:56 So the CIA station informed the interior minister that it was sending him several quote unquote advisors whose presence was required because of the ineffectiveness of Bolivia's intelligence services. A few days later, I love this part, four Cuban exiles arrive and assume.

50:23 advisory positions in his ministry. So let me clarify what we just read. The Cuban exiles are CIA operators from the Miami station that are down there as intelligence operators that are going to be embedded in the Bolivian government to try to find Che Guevara because, of course, they hate him.

50:52 One of them proceeded to set up two houses of interrogation, and we know what that leads to, where Bolivians suspected of aiding these quote-unquote guerrillas. And keep in mind, these are freedom fighters, not guerrillas. These are people that want their Democrat country back, not the coup country that the CIA installed. So they're going to haul them all in for Phoenix-style questioning and torture and electrocution and all the stuff they do.

51:24 when the minister of interior learned that the Cubans were resorting to torture, he was furious and demanded that the CIA put a stop to the operation. Other Cuban CIA agents were attached to the higher military command and sent to the area of guerrilla fighting. And let me just tell you guys, hopefully all of you guys watched the Philip.

51:51 Felix Rodriguez interview with Tucker because Felix Rodriguez is one of these Cuban exiles that they're talking about here. The ones doing the torture, the ones that have been infiltrated into the military structure. Felix Rodriguez told you on national broadcast on the Tucker Carlson interview that he was a quote unquote observer.

52:20 That's bullshit. He was one of these guys I'm talking about right now. And I would argue he has to be one of the highest ones because he was there physically for the execution once they find him. And that would have not been afforded to someone who just happened to be walking around on the streets of Miami and got asked to go down operationally to be in that area. He was one of the leaders.

52:48 That was deployed by the CIA to do what I'm about ready to tell you about. This kind of investigation contributed more to the locating of Cabrera than did the CIA's assortment of torture and all of the other stuff. What is clear, or the torture, led to the result as opposed to many of their other engagement opportunities.

53:19 What is clear is it was a huge case of overkill based on, but not for them. Because keep in mind, you would have thought that, I don't know, 70 some missions to try to kill Castro was overkill too for a little island in the middle of the Caribbean that nobody gave a shit about. But these people, for whatever the reason, it is like...

53:45 the single most critical. It is literally like the, what is the one, the sword in the stone? Yeah, it's like that to them. Shea's guerrilla movement never amounted to much of a threat. He was just there helping the miners protect themselves from the international syndicate.

54:10 Barely more than 50 men or women at any one time. And it had been already reduced to less than half that number when they captured Shea. So there's literally no reason to have all of this shit down there. The inhabitants of this region, wrote Shea in his diary, are an impenetrable as rocks. You speak to them, but in the depth.

54:37 of their eyes you can see that they do not believe you as in the Congo this man who made social revolution his life had failed to win over the peasantry because they didn't believe there was any help coming they believed honestly as they did in the Congo because the Congo had been subjugated to the Belgium in some way shape or form for

55:07 200 years. They just don't believe you. They've lost all hope. And Shea coming to try to help them in Bolivia, he saw the same look that he saw when he was in the Congo trying to help those people against the Gladio operations of Otto Skorzeny. In October 1967, Shea Cabrera was captured. The next day, the Bolivian government ordered his execution in cold blood.

55:35 prevented him from becoming the object of a clemency campaign. And despite objections, yeah, I'm going to put this in quotations, objections of the CIA men who clung to the hope that Carvera would eventually talk openly about his adventures. They didn't want him to say a word. Trust me.

55:56 Because every word he said would have been revealing the CIA's inner workings of every operation in Latin and Central America, period. Or, excuse me, in Central and South America. He knew everything. He knew everything about the Congo. The last thing they wanted was him talking. So, this Rene Barriantos, the guy we've been talking about this whole time.

56:27 um that was in charge he ends up dying in 1969 in a gulf helicopter crash which is kind of weird isn't that the kind of that aircraft that um iran's president just died in um huh i forgot about that part um for us so understand

56:54 that Che Guevara is captured in 67, and then in 69, the guy that knows all about CIA's involvement in Che Guevara's capture and his execution, and let me tell you, since he's not going to tell you how they executed him, on Tucker Carlson's show, they just said that they shot him once or twice, and his arm

57:19 Had a bullet hole in it. Because he reflectively. Like was trying to deflect the bullet. Like he put his arm in front of it. That's not what they did at all. They shot him. Upwards of. I'm just going to say. I don't remember the exact number of bullet holes in his body. But they shot him. Starting in his legs. To include his arms. And they worked their way up. To his head. So.

57:52 Following the death of Rene Barriantos in the helicopter crash, Bolivia's statesmen soon reverted to their normal machinations, beginning with the vice president who succeeded Barriantos lasted five months before being ousted by another general, this time Alfredo Ovando Candia. Ovando was a nationalist.

58:22 And in his first month, he nationalized Gulf Oil Corporation. And the prevailing attitude.

58:32 was that Gulf constituted a shadow government, which of course it did. All of the international syndicate does. The nationalization left Bolivia open, as the New York Times expressed, to the wrath of the United States. I call it the international syndicate. Here's a quote from the New York Times article. Since the seizure, the United States, which has been the mainstay of the Bolivian economy, has indicated further aid will not be forthcoming.

59:02 First step, cut off aid. Washington has not been impressed by Bolivia's offer to compensate golf for the property, which is valued at $140 million, about 50% more than Bolivia's annual budget. Two Bolivian cabinet members interviewed this week said privately that the U.S. and Argentina were aware, as were most educated people in the capital, that well-financed groups were plotting to overthrow the new...

59:31 Bolivian regime. Of course it is, because Washington isn't impressed with anything other than

59:41 The international syndicates control of other countries. It doesn't matter if Bolivia wants to compensate golf, which I would say probably based on whatever deal they had, the compensation had long been paid in full already, as it had been in most of the cases I look into. But in the off chance that, hey, we'll give you a few pennies for the crap after you've raped our country for all of these years, they're never going to be OK with that because that's not the point. They want the control.

1:00:10 Of the resources, because they don't want Bolivia being able to have oil and then want to shut off Iran or Russia or Germany. And these guys stepping up going, OK, I'll sell it to you. They don't want that. They have to have control of all of it. So the New York Times article was followed by another article in Latin America News.

1:00:38 organization, reporting that the U.S. was planning to bring down the Ovando government through economic strangulation, the economic warfare. Then, two days later, the government alerted the public about a conspiracy, quote, that was being organized by the CIA in close collaboration with Gulf Oil and some Bolivians, unquote. What fire all of this smoke pointed to was not known.

1:01:07 Ovando, who had walked the corridors of the Bolivian power structure for many years, it was him who actually presented Paz with the choice of going to the cemetery or the airport. How ironic. He was no stranger to the CIA intrigue in his country, and he may have seen the bright spotlight of publicity as the only means of forestalling his overthrow. This would also explain why, in 1970,

1:01:37 The government made it a point to announce the ordinary, that it had uncovered a CIA office in La Paz with radio transmission and bugging equipment. The same month, Ovando also advocated a reproachment with Cuba, and it looked like he and the CIA were on a collision course. Dead man walking.

1:02:00 But then it seems someone got to Ovando with an offer he couldn't refuse. Slowly but surely, the president drifted towards the CIA. Amongst other indications, several anti-U.S. student demonstrations were firmly put down by the police. Nothing more was heard about Cuba, and Ovando removed General Juan Jose Torres as commander of the armed forces, a man highly regarded.

1:02:28 by the Bolivian people. By September, matters had progressed to the point where State Department was publicly expressing a deepened split over the Ovando government and its former allies. So of course, then the word communist starts getting bandered about that some of his former allies, like when he was talking to Cuba, may have been left in his government and they were communist.

1:02:56 Whatever label, there was indeed a fresh political conflict in Bolivia. Two weeks later, it erupted into a military revolt. General Ovando was out and General Torres was in. Ovando had lasted one year. Juan Jose Torres, 10 months in office, produced the Latin American political drama that we have come to expect. Torres did all of the things that would make Washington

1:03:25 officials see red his overtures towards friendship with alande's chile because alande was still in power at the time and remember the cia overthrows him for peniche in chile and castro's cuba increased ties with the soviet union nationalizing the tin mines owned by american interest which of course led the u.s to threaten to release large stockpiles of tin on the world's market to crush

1:03:55 Bolivia, because that's what we do. We're not about freedom. And he also expelled the Peace Corps, which if any of you dove into the Peace Corps, it's a CIA breeding ground, and closed down the International Regional Labor Organization, which was a CIA vehicle that was used throughout Latin America. On top of this, Torres indulged at times in Marxist rhetoric.

1:04:25 probably just to piss them off. Then a Hugo Banzer, B-A-N-Z-E-R, shows up, a Bolivian colonel with close ties to the American military establishment. He had also attended school in Panama. Later, he had further trained at Fort Hood in Texas. Eventually,

1:04:52 was sent to Washington as a Bolivian military attache. And along the way, he ends up with an Order of Military Merit award from the U.S. government. Banzer was also reported to be one of the beneficiaries of Gulf Oil's donations that they made to the Barrientos cabinet way back when.

1:05:19 You know, like all of those presidents ago, because we've already had like two or three more coups. In January 1971, Colonel Banzer led a coup attempt, which came to nothing except his own exile to Argentina. The CIA had known of Banzer's plan at least two weeks earlier and had advised Washington of it. Over the next six months, as Banzer and his military cohorts plotted their next attempt to oust Torres, Banzer regularly crossed over the Argentina border.

1:05:48 into Bolivia where he had close contacts with U.S. Major Robert London, L-U-N-D-I-N, who was the U.S. advisor to the Bolivian Air Force School in Santa Cruz. Next, the coup that succeeded took place in August, a few days after Torres had announced an agreement with the Soviet Union for a major development of the Bolivian iron industry.

1:06:20 a few days before he was set to meet Salvador Allende, which again is a counterpart of his in the freedom movement over in Chile, and establish official diplomatic relations. So now the CIA has to be in a full-scale panic. If the Soviet Union is going to start buying the iron and he's going to reach a deal with Chile, their chips are going to start crumbling.

1:06:49 So when the plotters were in military control of Santa Cruz, a breakdown in the radio communication network caused a delay in their rallying point and Bolivian military units coming to their aid. It was at this moment that Major London stepped in to fill the breach by placing U.S. Air Force radio systems in their hands. How important this aid was to the success

1:07:20 of the operation has to be assessed at tremendously high because if they're deaf and they can't hear each other, you know that it would have been another dismal failure. One week later, the San Francisco Chronicle, quote, although it has been officially denied, CIA money, training, and advice was liberally given to the rebel strategist who masterminded the overthrow of Bolivia's president.

1:07:50 Juan Jose Torres. And of course, in the San Francisco Chronicle, right on cue, they call him a leftist. And as you've just heard me articulate, there's nothing leftist about this guy. They just want their country back independent of the U.S. and the U.S. international-led syndicate. But our media...

1:08:17 has to refer to them all as communist leftists in order to rationalize dead bodies. In the finale, we find that the military-political coalition that took power was so far to the right, meaning they're fascist, because they're not right, they're still left too, that its own parties called itself fascist or fallage.

1:08:47 L-A-N-G-E. And that Banzer immediately announced that his government would maintain very close relations with the U.S. because they installed him. Hello. Efforts to restore ties with Cuba and Chile would be abandoned. The trend towards nationalization would stop immediately. And all of the already completed nationalizations would be rescinded. So we're going to give all of the

1:09:14 whiny-ass crybaby international syndicate extortionists in the United States back all of their toys that belong to the Bolivian people. And the government would welcome private foreign investment, i.e. the U.S. government and the CIA, and all schools would be closed for at least four months while basically they get rid of all of the shit that said they were actually free people.

1:09:41 So before long, the government ordered the entire Soviet embassy to leave the country, which I'm sure was a dictate. And Banzer eventually paid a foreign loan or raised a foreign loan to pay Gulf Oil for basically their miscompensation during the time when actually Bolivia took back their own mind. That's how freaking bizarre this shit is. So at the same time,

1:10:12 The time-honored scene that has been repeated in this presentation from country to country to country, you have the reign of terror. And within the first two years of this new regime, over 2,000 people were arrested for political reasons without being brought to trial. All the fundamental laws of protecting human rights were gone. There was torture. There was interrogations. They were beat.

1:10:41 raped and forced to undergo simulated executions where they were hung with their hands tied behind their back for hours on end and notice that every year that goes by in the united states we get more of this shit in the united states they're well practiced by what they do

1:11:05 In 1975, Catholic religious groups and clergy had taken upon themselves the dangerous burden of speaking out in defense of the human rights in Bolivia under the Banzer government, and they responded by creating a campaign to divide the church, isolate its members, and censor them and smear them as communist, their favorite go-to slur. Foreign priests and nuns who made up the bulk of the country's clergy

1:11:32 were vulnerable to arrest and deportation. One of them, an American missionary from Iowa, Father Raymond Herman, was found murdered. The CIA, it has been reported, assisted the Bolivian government in this endeavor by providing full information on certain priests. They gave them their personal data, friends, addresses, writings, and contacts that they had gotten through spying on.

1:12:02 Americans in foreign countries and turning their information over to that foreign government for them to execute them. That's our CIA. Banzer is quoted as saying, I will observe the Constitution whenever it does not contradict military decrees, unquote. He also said, since the formulation of the current Bolivian government in August 1971, oh, I'm sorry.

1:12:35 A U.S. Comptroller General's report said, since the formulation of that government, quote, the objective of U.S. military assistance has been to provide stability and security. To assist in the objective, the U.S. provides materiel and training to develop adequate counterinsurgency forces, unquote. In 1978, Hugo Banzer

1:13:02 was overthrown in yet another Bolivian coup, and the new Bolivian strongman, former Air Force General Juan Parida Osborne, Osborne, A-S-B-U-N, announced, as Banzer had, that he was saving the nation from international communism, unquote. And that's the end. So, who has questions? This is...

1:13:37 This is one of the craziest ones. I say that probably about all of them, but this one truly is crazy, especially in its timeliness of the element of Shea Carvera, since we just had the guy prancing Felix Rodriguez across the...

1:13:58 screen with the Tucker interview telling a bunch of bold-faced lies so that you know they're still basically trying to hoodwink us when you actually know the real depths of depravity here. So, anyway, does anybody have any questions? Bridget, Cousin It, you guys got anything? You know, there are some times when I am just in awe of facts that we know.

1:14:31 And it's so well documented in all the, yeah, it's just mind-blowing. Colonel, can you hear me? Okay, can people hear me? Thumbs up? Yes? Okay, Bridget, can you hear me? I had to take Bridget down because her thing looks like it was pending.

1:14:57 Bridget, can you text her real quick and tell her she she's not hearing anybody? She didn't hear you. Thank you. So who else? Yeah, it won't let me. Hang on, guys. We're getting back up. You still there? Testing one to testing. Testing. Can you hear me, Colonel? OK, we can hear you, but I can drop. Well, yeah, I don't know what's wrong with Bridget. She's showing up with a.

1:15:39 purple dot there. There it shows as a speaker now. Can you hear me, Bridget? Can you unmute and talk to me? Okay, guys. Does anybody have any questions? Okay. Well, if we do have, if you want to raise your hand, I can add people.

1:16:17 If you do have questions, I know she can't hear you now. Let me remove you. I'm going to remove you as co-host and see if I can't bring you back up as a speaker. Roxanne, can you hear me? I'm telling you, they just love messing with us. All right. Cousin It, try to talk. You're showing back up as a co-host. All right. Let me go out then. Testing. Testing. One, two. Testing. Can everybody hear me okay?

1:17:16 OK, thank you, SR. Yeah, she's it's something to do with her and not ours, I guess. I don't know why she I have no idea. I got nothing. Does anybody have a song? OK, now talk. Testing one to testing. All right. Testing. I can hear you. OK, well, thank you for being safe.

1:17:53 They just like messing with us. They must not want us talking about this stuff. That's all I can say. OK, so after all that, can you hear me now? OK, so I have a question. Right. So this is just off the top of my head. Can Tucker Carlson really be that stupid? You know, I mean, I ask and I don't know. I mean, did he do that so he could prompt people to look into that guy's background?

1:18:25 Or is he that stupid? I mean, it's the same with Putin, him going over there and talking to Putin. It made people look into the allegations and the history that Putin was talking about and exposed all of the bullshit and the lies from the Western press. So I don't know. I did my part. I revealed who exactly Felix Rodriguez was. Nobody picked up. Right.

1:18:53 But you know what? It's not for nothing. He going to talk to the leader of Russia is not inviting a killer into your home. I mean, these are crazy. Highlighting who these people are and all of the false information about them. I'm not advocating what he did. I think what he did was classic stupidity.

1:19:19 Did he do it so that people would look into his background? I don't know. Because I have a hard time believing he's that stupid. But I don't know. Sally, go ahead. I was going to say, I thought long and hard about the Tucker Carlson interview after I did it. Like, when I covered it, I was like, oh, my gosh, what an idiot. Oh, my gosh, he's dumb. Maybe he's not that smart. And then I remembered back to other interviews that I've heard Tucker Carlson be with different people.

1:19:48 Tucker knows the declassified, a lot of the stuff from the CIA, from the JFK assassination. I think he was trying to see how bad this guy would lie, like how bad these people lie. And I think he did want people looking into him. That's just my opinion. I don't think he's as dumb as I thought he was. Yeah, I have to, because he's, I mean, I don't know. That's my opinion. But I'm not going to dismiss.

1:20:19 the possibility that he is that naive because so much of the people who don't know about Operation Gladio are that naive. So I won't dismiss that, but it's discounted in my overall opinion. I hope that makes sense. Does anybody else have any questions or want a mic to say something?

1:20:52 Bridget? Yeah, my only two cents worth, because I thought about it as well, is that, you know, his father was in the Secret Service. He does live in Washington, D.C. He has made these rounds. And I think he's just trying to call more attention to his show, to bringing more shock material.

1:21:23 To bring people into more awareness. You know, and that's just a possibility. Yeah. And understand that Tucker doesn't live in D.C. anymore. He actually lives on an island off the coast of Florida. Right. But he did. Yeah. He did for a long for a lot of years. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I just wanted to clarify that. Right. Thank you. Which makes the fact that they.

1:21:56 told that guy where he lived even more crazy, in my opinion, but whatever. Absolutely. Yeah. I don't know. He comes across like Columbo. You know, I just, you know, I was watching him interview Patrick David, right? And I mean, he just, I don't get it.

1:22:29 That doesn't mean I don't like him, but I don't get it. I understand. Yep, I understand completely. Okay, so if no one else has any questions. If I may, Colonel, can you hear me? Yep, I can hear you. First of all, thank you for these outstanding presentations and everybody that attends here. It's always an eye-opener.

1:22:58 Getting a little bit off of the subject and talking about Rumble and what's happening, if I may. If you're using Rumble on your phone, you're competing with phone calls and they get priority. If you're using Rumble on a laptop with an internet connection directly connected to your router and using the website, you're better off. Just saying. Okay.

1:23:31 I know not everybody can do that, but if you can, that's the best option. Yeah, I don't ever use Rumble on my phone. Thank you, Colonel. Sure, thanks. I have another question. I'm sorry. Our overseas friends, Bridget and I were talking earlier. If you're not, we weren't sure if you were able to get Rumble overseas.

1:23:59 Which is the free version of YouTube, but without censorship. And most of the Colonel's book reviews and conversations and guest appearances are on Rumble. So if you need information, Bridget and I will be more than happy to send you the links to that. And you can try it with a VPN. Cool. The more the merrier. The chats are very lively. Anyway.

1:24:37 Oh, your daughter put them on YouTube too, didn't she? They're all on. Okay. She may not have the most recent one, but she's usually about within a week of putting them all over there. The live ones I send over to YouTube. We also air them here on X. Now we're just kind of beating them over both platforms at the same time.

1:25:03 But the other ones that I do, like when I do with Warhamster or whatever that he has to send me, she has to manually upload those. So those are usually a few days behind. So hell, Brinsey, did you have a question? He asked for a mic. I went ahead and give it to him. I didn't know if he had a question or not. Okay, well, Sally, go ahead.

1:25:46 If everyone's done talking, then I will take the opportunity to tell everybody to make sure that you are following your panelists and that you have notifications turned on so that you don't miss anything. Every time she does faces, you'll get notified when she's doing them. Also, there is a place on her main profile where you can donate money if you would like to do so. Everything they do is for free. They do a bunch of research. They buy books.

1:26:14 Yada, yada, yada, yada. So do your best to support these people. Thank you. So I do want to encourage all of you guys. I posted just before we got on. And of course, if you joined us late, you may not know this because we were chatting about it briefly at the beginning. A very long thread just before we came on. I finished it about.

1:26:43 The Chechnyan conflict and whether or not it was in Gladio. I would highly encourage you guys to go read every bit of that interwoven. So I got asked repeatedly initially about whether or not the Chechnyan conflict.

1:27:06 was operation gladio and i had picked up bits and pieces um and plus you know as you guys know i was um at u.s central command um for three years um involved intimately in that entire operational area so i was familiar with some of the background of what was going on over there but liza found one of the best articles that i've ever seen but what it

1:27:36 left out was the background. It was a great overview of tying, he never mentions Gladio, by the way, but he ties the Chechnyans to Al-Qaeda, which we know is Operation Gladio, and to the Mujahideen, which we know basically was used for the same purpose. And so the tying together of those things with my added commentary,

1:28:06 And the background of what was going on economically at the time with Browder and Safra and the economic hitmen that had been sent into Russia after the fall in 1991 to basically confiscate their entire energy network.

1:28:30 And then once they got thrown out and caught doing that, they sought a alternative route, and that was to build a second pipeline around Russia so that Russia wouldn't benefit from it. And in order to disguise that operation, they basically engaged in an Operation Gladio in the Chechnyan area using the leftover al-Qaeda and Mujahideen. They were literally flying them in.

1:28:59 So they're flying in terrorists to create the Chechnyan war. And it was just crazy. So anyway, I highly encourage you to do that because it draws in so many pieces of the puzzle that many of you may not because we haven't gotten to them. But I kind of include them all in there. Alex, go ahead. Hello, everyone.

1:29:29 I just have a question. You were mentioning some roundtable discussions before the Second World War. You were saying it was some people planning globally takeovers and so on. Can you elaborate a little bit more about who were those people and who has come after them?

1:29:57 Someone has to take over when they die and so on. I mean, if it's a secret organization or something like that. So if you go back to the late 1800s, there was a thing that was called a group that was called the Fabian Society. The Fabian Society, there's many members, but some of the prominent members was Cecil Rhodes and Oswald Mosley.

1:30:28 and those types of people in the late 1800s. So if you go back and read things, they had eugenicists like for population control and manipulation. They had all kinds of scientific chemists were involved because eventually these are the same people that create all of the biological warfare capability. So there was a large swath of people and it was a...

1:30:56 affiliated with Oxford. And so the Royal Institute of International Affairs comes out of the, and so they set up the British Roundtable. And that's what I was referring to, the British Roundtable crowd. They had these dinner

1:31:12 groups. So once a month they would meet and they would hash out all of this politics stuff and they belong to like 20 of them. So they were together all the time. And they set up the Royal Institute of International Affairs and its counterpart or evil twin sister in the Council of Foreign Relations in America. And so then the committee of 300 gets formed and it goes on and on. So I view it as.

1:31:39 Like the kind of mobile that you put in your kid's bedroom that you wind up and it turns around. The top table is the British Roundtable crowd that set the entire thing up in the late 1800s. The next layer down is like the RIIA, the CFR, the Committee of 300, the Bilderberg Group. And then each of those have subsidiary.

1:32:04 organizations as well. So see, it doesn't matter that the people at the top and the people that created this thing die off because they are grooming the next level at the Bilderberg Group, the RIIA, the CFR. There will always be a replacement. And their idea at the time was they were dividing the world up.

1:32:32 into Pan-America, Pan-British Empire, Pan-Europe, Pan-Asia. Eventually, they came up with a Pan-Arabic, but that wasn't even considered at the beginning because they viewed all of those people down there as basically going to be slave labor. They had all the resources. They had all of the muscle.

1:32:58 They literally, if you go back and read some of their writings, it's quite revealing. They talked about in the late 1800s about mass migration and interbreeding people to be better slaves for them. And you see so much the eugenics with the Planned Parenthood and the killing of.

1:33:20 What they believe as inferior people, you know, with euthanasia and all of this stuff. And you just see, and the castronization of our youth right now through this trans movement. They don't want, they believe there's way too many people. They don't need that many slaves for the few of them that there are. And they want all of the world's resources for themselves. And so they have.

1:33:47 bred into us through our food, the inability to perpetuate our culture via having babies. They've polluted our bodies with poison via vaccine regimens in our food. And so, you know, now they're taking over the farms and they're doing that in order to starve off the people that they believe doesn't need to be here.

1:34:17 That's literally in all of their writing from the very beginning. Thank you very much. It's a little bit clearer now. Does it tie to the World Economic Forum nowadays? Absolutely. That is one of the mobiles hanging around there. That is like a third tier.

1:34:38 entity, along with Open Society for George Soros and all of those, the Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation, all of those entities are like that third level. That second level is like the Bilderberg's Committee of 300, Globe of Rome. And then you have the World Economic Forum. And that's why I say.

1:35:04 That, yeah, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, blah, blah, blah. Those are that third level, the civilian nonprofits. And from my perspective, it appears just based on all of the reading that I've done on this subject that.

1:35:23 These nonprofits, if you go back and look at who these people were, we're supposed to believe that one shipping magnet created a multibillion dollar shipping company from ferrying people from the New Jersey shore over to New York when he was like, you know, 16 years old. And the, you know, the current day Zuckerbergs and the Apple, they found this.

1:35:51 They they established this crap in their garage. I don't believe any of that. I believe there is a hand behind these people. And most of these people are somehow identified as being pliable to wanting to facilitate whatever their role is in this operation. And they then they are required as part of their signing on to the deal that.

1:36:20 They have to put all of their assets in a trust because their assets is gotten mainly from money laundering government contracts. And so this is a big cycle under the guise of private business, and none of it is private business because, as we found out with Facebook, that was originally created in DARPA and then basically the same thing with Google. This is a perpetual money laundering.

1:36:49 where all of our wealth is sucked into this system and then they're deposited in these trusts and these trusts are perpetual. They never go away. And it just keeps feeding the hydra. It's a little bit interesting because the eugenist, I can't pronounce it. You said it right. Yeah. It ties back to Planned Parenthood, to Margaret Sanger, and it ties to Sweden. Correct.

1:37:19 So it's a global conspiracy. It's not typical USA or Asian or something else. No, my primary focus obviously is the United States because I'm a citizen here. I serve the military. But you are absolutely right. Every one of these stories has, and that's why we kind of joked about it for a very long time, they all have a Swedish element and they all have a London element.

1:37:49 And I kind of chuckle at the fact that a lot of people keep tossing out, oh, it all leads back to this or that. That's not been my experience. My experience in doing this research is there are second and third elements of a religious nature or a other country. But the majority of them lead to the U.S., British and Sweden. It's weird.

1:38:20 Yeah, it's weird. And if you tell people who are not in the know, they don't even know where Sweden is. They mix it up with Switzerland or I don't know. Right, exactly. What you got, Bridget? Thank you. Sure. I just wanted to, you know, Roxanne also has several sub stacks that go into a lot of this detail. The Colonel does.

1:38:53 Anyway, it branches out everything from, we saw it in Gladio in the P2. We also have found that even today, when you're looking at and you're trying to investigate, we'll say current headlines, and you look into individuals, you will find certain common denominators, like Oxford.

1:39:19 Now, that doesn't mean that everybody that went to Oxford is an asset. However, you will find many of these, like the Knights of Malta. We've even seen situations where these Knight groups tend to run on which level they're at on that mobile. Also, they tend to...

1:39:48 Trying to think of what the other one is. I just had it a minute ago. Well, the hunt clubs, the NGOs, there's so many overlapping elements of the, I mean, I guess you could call it a pyramid, but they take normal.

1:40:09 organizations and infiltrate them like the masonic lodges and these hunt clubs and everything else it's it almost appears and i know it sounds kind of blanket um conspiracy but it appears that everything that we know that and we can see from the outside has an inside like duplicative evil twin so um the you you may have

1:40:36 a family member, like my husband's dad was kind of the grand Mason, whatever you call them, of our local redneck Masonic lodge out in the middle of nowhere in a strawberry field. The man was not evil. Nobody in it was evil. And he did nothing but volunteer at his church most of his adult life. But in other Masonic lodges, there are

1:41:04 lodges within a lodge at the upper levels that are evil and then as a result of having them it kind of facilitates or condones other secret societies because of its quote-unquote secretive nature and then you have the skull and bones and all of these other things that are truly evil and maybe entirely evil not just an evil within a a good surrounding and so

1:41:28 You can never make blanket statements about any of this stuff, which is why I don't ever make blanket statements about a particular religion or a particular country. The overall, although I just did with the whole sweet kitchen, but it's not a blanket statement. It's just there seems to be elements within those primarily as it relates to banking industry and what I refer to as the international syndicate.

1:41:57 seems to have a lot of roots there. Right. And when you see someone who has overlapping where they are parts of multiple organizations and of these organizations, then it is a clue that you do need to dig into these people a little bit deeper. And like I said, and we try not to use...

1:42:29 certain phrases or expressions that they have conditioned us to respond to over the years, like color revolution. We avoid those terms because they want to limit your research. They want you to search for just those names. There's a reason why they give them those coin names and the reason why the colonel uses international syndicate.

1:42:57 Those are to keep you from sending yourself in when you're doing your research. And also same with these different organizations. Thank you. Go ahead, Tony. Hello, Colonel. I want to go back to you. You mentioned the sword in the stone and the telling about King Arthur.

1:43:28 And do you know that King Arthur was a Swedish Viking? Was a what? Swedish Viking. A Swedish Viking. I did not. Yeah. It's established by the history that he were having the three crowns on his chest. And the three crowns is our nation's symbol, you know. So that was more apropos than I realized.

1:43:58 Yeah, but that was a little bit fun, so I had to tell you about that. I appreciate that. Yep, I learn something every day, that's for sure. Yeah, and then you know that we were in the UK also in the Viking time. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. What do you got, Mike? Hey, what's up, guys? How's it going, Colonel? I just wanted to add to what Bridget was kind of...

1:44:30 discussing on the rant that like when we're looking at these people the other part of operation gladio that seems it gets kind of um buried with all the uh the indonesia the chile the honduras um conversation is that it also involved members of the vatican and the mafia so like we have to be looking at everything and everybody it's it's it's exhausting i get it but

1:44:55 When we look at anything that's passed down as far as doctrine, including what's in religious organizations, what's in, you got to consider Operation Mockingbird as well. So all of the media apparatuses, regardless of what their public affiliation is. And then there's also what we saw since the pandemic, which is the health organizations and particularly the World Health Organization and the UN, which I personally believe have very strong communist ties at the roots.

1:45:24 Yeah, I don't know that I would call him communist. I'd call him probably more fascist, but I agree with that. That's actually a good distinction. I'll agree with that. Yeah. So when I do my Gladio 101 discussions, I make sure people, and you bring up an excellent point because there's new people in here every time, I bring up the fact that nothing post-World War II was new.

1:45:49 What they did, as you rightfully point out, is they took all of the international syndicate criminal elements of the mafia, the international businessmen that really wanted to be oligarchs and not laws that bear free capitalism, and the criminal banking industry, and every criminal element.

1:46:16 booze runners, the drug runners, whatever you want to call it. So that entire apparatus was moved under and housed in the CIA when it stood up in the late 40s after World War II, because that is the element that went around the world, because these coups are not new. As I've articulated, go back to Hawaii, we deposed the queen, we basically re-couped the Philippines.

1:46:44 The same thing with Puerto Rico, the same thing with Haiti, the same thing with Cuba. After the Spanish-American War, supposedly they had been fighting in each of these locations for their own independence from Spain, and they thought once—

1:46:57 America had declared war on Spain and we were going to free them. We didn't free them. We just made them another colony. We just overtook the colonialism that had already existed. And they did it with the use of the Marines back then, which was completely illegal to use Marines in a non-declared war on behalf of business interests, which they did in Nicaragua, they did in Panama, blah, blah, blah. So all of those things that happened prior to World War II was all caged up.

1:47:25 And moved into the CIA. They did exactly the same thing the day after World War II that they did the day before World War II. The only difference was that they gave them a big fat rubber stamp that said national security. And forevermore, they were allowed to hide every single thing they did with a stamp of national security classified from the American public.

1:47:51 Prior to World War II, some of the stuff was found out and some of the stuff did get published because of...

1:47:58 the traveling of people around much to the chagrin of the international syndicate. And some of the people eventually did go to jail and was held accountable. None of that has happened post-World War II because of Congress being intimidated, blackmailed, and bought off in saying that, you know, CIA agents can't be held responsible for basically quote-unquote following order. That's just the military people. You know, you can be held accountable after World War II.

1:48:28 for that, but not the CIA. You're not allowed to discuss any their names. That's against the law. And as soon as they start passing laws like that to create to protect an institution, you know, damn good and well, that institution is illegitimate. On top of that, don't forget about the Nazis that they brought over with paperclip and they got access to that entire network.

1:48:50 Absolutely. Well, I would argue they didn't get access. They were put in that network. Yeah. OK. Another another good distinction. I will agree with that, too. They're definitely buried deep in that that because they all pop up in Operation Gladio events all over the world. And it wasn't just the ones that were here. Keep in mind, they decentralized. And I would go one step further. I would tell you that the international.

1:49:18 fascist organization which is what joseph farrell calls it didn't lose world war ii they changed tactics they decentralized instead of centralized front they dispersed all of the german scientists and all of the ss troops and all of the other people with a showcase of nuremberg 1.0 and

1:49:39 those people embedded themselves in the Gladio network around the world. And you have only to look at Otto Skorzeny and him being set up in fascist Franco Spain as the international trainer, where everybody goes to Spain to get training and mission details for execution of operational orders around the world to depose presidents. And if it was a really important...

1:50:05 coup mission, Otto Skorzeny deployed himself. And so he was the orchestrator and creator of the werewolf network for General Galen inside of Germany in World War II. So the fact that he is part of this network bought and paid for by the U.S. government under defense contractors to build Spanish.

1:50:27 U.S. bases. That's how they paid him to do that job. They disguised it in contracts from the Department of Defense. And so you're absolutely right. They were spread across. German scientists were sent to Japan. German scientists were sent all over the world. Go ahead, Stellar. Good morning. I was quiet. And then you guys and then someone brought up I was driving. I only have a minute. I'm running into the Trump campaign here in Vegas. Anyway.

1:51:02 So as you're talking about all of these different things right now with all these, you know, this Operation Gladio, I kid you not, it totally like the other day when we talked a little bit about like, you know, like the FDIC chairman who stepped down and then you had Klaus Schwab step down today on the monetary part of it. The IMF said that BRICS and precious metals and that kind of stuff, they're actually kind of leaning towards a gold-backed currency.

1:51:31 So I'm just letting you guys know that as Colonel Tanner is exposing Operation Gladio on the, you know, the money laundering that you guys are talking about, it's all being dismantled because that's how they were able to always steal the money is because whether it was through, say, like Ethereum, Bitcoin on the cryptocurrency side, you know, or whatever.

1:51:54 And then with the FIT 21, which the U.S. government, there's going to be regulations, ISOs and things like that. It's just a lot easier to track. They're not going to be able to hide the money. So I think that that's why, as all of these things start collapsing in on them, their funding and their laundering and their shady ways that way is also getting tagged and now regulations.

1:52:22 things like that if that makes any sense if people understand what the blockchain is and stuff like that yeah it makes sense and it goes to there is a hand that we don't necessarily see all of it that is working behind the scenes which gives me tremendous amount of hope which

1:52:43 I feel like if we work simultaneously with what they're doing behind the scene and revealing what we know outside that's actually been visualized for us due to good reporting and people telling the truth long ago, and we can kind of aggregate all of that together, we will be the people that people look to for the answers as things begin to fall apart.

1:53:08 have them not panic because it's not technically falling apart. It's finally falling into place. So that's what I hope anyway. All right. We're at two hours now. So I'm going to go ahead and call it a day. And thank you all for being here. I appreciate it. Look forward to moving on to our next country next time we're together. So thanks for being here, guys.

1:53:39 Thank you. And everybody have a wonderful weekend. It's Memorial Weekend. And please follow Colonel Towner, Bridget, Cousin It, and everybody. Thank you. So we will not be here on Monday. We'll resume on Tuesday. Thanks for that reminder, Stella. And because we are actively being shadow banned, please, everyone, hit the like on this and repost the space so that all the links get out there so that we get more people.

1:54:07 new Gladio glasses. Thank you.
