0:00 Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the Alpha Warrior Show. I am your host, Alpha. It is Operation Gladio Night. I got the Colonel with me. It is June the 4th, 2025. I had to double check. We're at Chapter 57, Episode 423, but Part 2, continuing of who is exactly the International Syndicate. So we're going to get into that. So, ladies and gentlemen, let me bring up the Colonel. Let's get Gladio started. How are you doing, ma'am? Great. How are you?

0:29 Good. Even though I tried to call you ma'am earlier and it didn't really go the way I anticipated. The autocorrect kind of sucks sometimes. You know, I was just like, I better fix that before the colonel's like, what is wrong with this man? He called me mama. This is true, everybody. Although I do feel like he's my son sometimes.

0:57 This is so, so true. So right away, I'm like, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am with a little asterisk. But, you know, it is what it is. Colonel, we're in part two. You brought us up some interesting names the last show. And we saw how it's relevant to now. Absolutely to now. And even more so probably in the last three or four days with the craziness that's going on. Where are we picking up from?

1:24 OK, so we left off with CB Star and AIG. So he passes the reins on to a guy by the name of Maurice Greenberg. And Maurice Greenberg is a very interesting guy. I just want to touch on him. I don't want to spend the whole show on him because we have somebody that's even more interesting. But we cannot leave.

1:52 AIG without talking about him. So Maurice Greenberg took over where CB Star left off. Now, just as a reminder, AIG is unequivocally a place where CIA parks agents to be spies in overseas areas under the guise of being insurance salesmen. So it is.

2:22 part and parcel of the CIA as a front facing organization. Okay. We went over all of that last week. So obviously Greenberg walking into this is assuming that same role because it did not change. The very first thing, if you're just doing a casual look at Greenberg, the very first thing that jumps out at you is that he is both a personal friend,

2:53 and a client of Henry Kissinger. So just we have to go over Kissinger very quickly. Kissinger was a part of the Ritchie Boys. And what was the Ritchie Boys? That was the German-speaking.

3:15 primarily Jewish contingent of the OSS that went into Germany during World War II and performed translator duties because they all spoke German, because most of them had came over in the last 10 to 20 years from Germany. And so Kissinger is unequivocally part of the original CIA cast, that being the OSS. Okay, so he's part and parcel of the OSS.

3:45 That's where he starts off. He also did some time as the Army counterintelligence area during World War II. And if you go through just like we're going to skim through it because you have to hit all of the highlights. He hits like he's on the wrong side of literally every single thing that we've ever been involved in. And I'm going to hit a couple of them.

4:15 Obviously, he he went to school at Harvard where he got his Ph.D. and he had a really weird job while still a graduate at Harvard. He served as a consultant to the director of Psychological Strategy Board and founded a magazine called Confluence, where he then tried to get into the FBI.

4:45 Now, keep in mind, he still has intelligence ties. OK, so if you zoom forward in during the Eisenhower administration, which we know was knee deep in every Operation Gladio thing in the 1950s, as it was getting its feet on the ground of actually being a thing. He ends up as a consultant to the National Security.

5:13 National Security Council Operations Coordination Board. And what was that? That was the thing that approved all of the Operation Gladio operations for Eisenhower. OK, so he's a consultant to that. He also is a member of the CFR. And his big claim to fame at the time was the proposal to use tactical nuclear weapons.

5:41 regularly as part of a war strategy. And if you remember, we've covered this multiple times, the number of general officers at the time in the 50s and 60s that wanted to use tactical nukes and everything. That was like their go-to position while Kissinger is in that group. So not ironically, he works at the Rockefeller Brothers Fund as a director for their special studies project.

6:11 And what would that be? Well, if you look at it and you start reading it, you quickly realize that was one of the covert funding sources used to do Rockefeller bidding in these regime change operations overseas. He just happens to land there and work there for a little bit. He also co-founded the Center for International Affairs with a guy by the name of Robert Bowie at.

6:40 Harvard. And weirdly enough, it gets outed as a CIA front. Like literally the entire thing was CIA funded. That gets exposed and the deputy that he had working for him there moves over to another organization they set up right after it got outed that does the exact same thing. And this woman was the continuity between it and the next version of it.

7:09 There's still a CIA front at Harvard today. But he created the first one and got out it. He also was a consultant for the operations research office, arms control and disarmament, State Department and the Rand Corporation, which, of course, is CIA, too. So I think we've clearly established that Kissinger's ties with the CIA.

7:38 is consistent throughout his career. So just to go down and talk a couple of the positions that he took. So when Bangladesh is trying to gain their independence from being a fake country called East Pakistan, who did Kissinger support? East Pakistan and not the actual indigenous people.

8:08 And in, let's see, the Arab-Israeli conflict, he was for whoever was going to better the U.S. interest in every single one of them. And he worked very closely with Alexander Haig on many different parts of this.

8:35 Let's see the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. He was involved in Operation Condor. He was central to many of the positions that were taken. And he always was the advocate for installing a dictator because in his words, the people weren't smart enough to manage their own countries. He was involved in the overthrow or intervention of the Bolivia.

9:04 That basically was there was an anti-imperialist government and was interested in nationalization. So, of course, they him and Nixon decides that they want to coup Bolivia. He also was very much involved in the Chilean coup. Argentina, Rhodesia, East Timor. So you get the picture.

9:33 To include Zaire, where we installed Mubato, which is going to come up in a minute. So that's who he is. All right. Going back to Greenberg. So Greenberg obviously is good friends with Henry Kissinger. And so you've got the AIG CEO and Kissinger, both basically CIA ties. Right. Right. So as.

10:06 Greenberg takes over this CV Star organization, he gets himself into some problems. One of the problems was with the SEC. They charged him for his involvement in a fraudulent accounting transaction that inflated AIG's finances.

10:31 And basically they allowed him to plead without admitting guilt and pay a 15 million dollar penalty fine. So he he goes on a lawsuit binge. He's he decides he's going to file lawsuits against the state of state of New York.

10:53 He files a complaint against a civil lawsuit against the attorney general, Elliot Spritzer. And weirdly enough, right after he does that, Elliot Spritzer gets alleged to have this prostitution problem. I don't know if you remember that whole fiasco where.

11:20 He had taken on some pretty big names. Spritzer had as the A.G. And then they they basically frame him for prostitution and they run this smear campaign. I don't know whether it was true or not, but it was a really weird timing of him taking on a bunch of the big wigs in Washington. So anyway, that seems to be happening lately to say every single time.

11:48 Nothing's new under the sun. So that kind of gets the last part of last week's show out of the way. Maurice Greenberg. And when I was researching Maurice Greenberg, I ran across another guy whose name keeps coming up. He just so happens to be named Maurice Templson, Templeman, Templesman.

12:16 You spell his last name T-E-M-P-E-L-S-M-A-N. And he is a very, very interesting man. He's the guy that I think you can find if you go down. He ends up being kind of the after Jackie Kennedy.

12:46 Marries Onassis. When Onassis dies. This seems to be the guy. That moves in with her. Really? Yeah. That's his kind of. But you have to understand who this guy is. Because this guy. Is very very interesting. And. It all ties together. But let's look at him. So. Maurice Templeton.

13:19 was, had some very interesting ties to the CIA, as do they all. Okay, so let's talk about, because it also goes to the whole overthrow of Lumumba's government in the Congo, because this guy's involved in diamonds. So you have, this is going to be kind of convoluted, but I have to start here.

13:46 The Belgian business tycoon, Count Etwin Davion, D-A-V-I-G-N-O-N. He's chairman of the board of directors of Brussels Airlines. He co-founded after the bankruptcy of the Belgian National Airline. The Belgian National Airline is the airline that carried.

14:17 Patrice Lumumba to his death. When they kidnapped him, they put him on this airplane and flew him to the place where they were going to murder him. It also is the airline that was used to ship all of the minerals out of the Congo that they were basically illegally taking out of there during Lumumba's

14:45 presidency and also the ones that they were sneaking out the back door in Rwanda. So Rwanda was basically sneaking into the Congo, stealing resources, taking them out the back door and loading them on these Belgium aircraft to fly them out of the area. Because they had actually tried, they had actually installed a dictator there too. So this Debenon.

15:11 is one of the members of a board of numerous Belgian companies and was also the director of a thing called the Anglo American Corporation, which if you look at it, it looks very much like one of those CIA front companies. He also was involved in the Oppenheimer De Beers mining conglomerate operating in the Congo, who interestingly enough, had a partnership with none other.

15:40 then George H.W. Bush, and the Barrick Gold Corporation. So, in 2001, Belgian parliamentary inquiry concluded that Devin Young played an important and active role in the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. Like Maurice Tempelsman, Devin Young was deeply involved in the coup that put Joseph Mubato in power.

16:12 And then proceeded to keep him there. So if you look back and you see that the exploitation of banking plantations and mining interests that plundered the Belgian Congo after it became the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1960 to 72 and then Zaire from 72 to 97. And of course, now it's back to being called.

16:43 the Congo, amongst the many prominent people involved are Belgian nationals, like a guy by the name of Louis Michel, Etouan Devignon, Philip Morlus, and André Flaut, and U.S. nationals like Henry Kissinger, Bill Richardson, and Maurice Tempelsman. The interest of the royal family

17:12 Belgium are also involved in this because if people remember when we talked about the Congo before, it had been a colony of the king for like 300 of the 350 years. And then the last 50 years, the king had turned it over to the state of Belgium in order for it to benefit Belgium and not just the king personally. So predatory meddling and plundering of such of these people.

17:41 rendered invisible the think tanks, the press, and all of the stuff that was going on behind the scenes because of all of the chaos that they created. This Antoine Devignon guy was also the director of Gilead Sciences, the biotech company, who also hired as a director Donald Rumsfeld.

18:13 Jesus. How does Rumsfeld end up with Gilead? Yeah. How does that happen? So keep in mind, that's the company that did the whole, if I'm not mistaken, and you can check me on this, I believe that's the company that tried forever to get aspartame approved. And it wasn't until Donald's Rumsfeld. It may be a different one, but it's in the same family.

18:39 But Donald Rumsfeld is the guy that got hired by one of those pharmaceutical companies that Aspartame had been trying to get approval for like 30 years. And it wasn't until Rumsfeld becomes. So it had to be a different one because he's just a director here. He becomes the CEO and all of a sudden Aspartame gets approved by the FDA. So I don't remember what the name of that company is, but he was actually the CEO of that company. But he's the director of Gilead.

19:10 So Gilead directors, when this article was written, was George Schultz, who happened to also be a Bechtel director. And Bechtel's big in bed with the CIA and the government. Let's see. And remember that George Schultz was the secretary of state, which is kind of. Searly was the company. Searly. This one right here. Yeah. OK. Yeah. Searle, I think, is how you.

19:45 And then has the FDA approval of the artificial sweetener, aspartame. Yeah. Yeah. The cancer causing one. Okay. So George salt was on Gilead, Carla Hills, who is in charge, who was at the time, the director of the, because I just saw in small letters, it's a subsidiary of Pfizer. Yes. Yep. Yep.

20:12 OK, so Carla Hills is also working with Gilead in this whole group of people. She was in charge of the International Crisis Group, which basically is a CIA front. She also was one of the architects of NAFTA, which basically was the giving away of our middle class.

20:34 John Madigan, a former Tribune company, which is mass media director and current member of the Defense Business Board of the U.S. Department of Defense. Nicholas Moore, another Bechtel director and former CEO chairman of none other than PricewaterhouseCooper for 10 years from 94 to 2004. And why was that part?

21:00 because PricewaterhouseCooper is the auditor of every single bank that I've investigated that's a CIA front that gives them a 100% glowing, financially responsible audit within months of them collapsing and taking everybody's money. Happened with Castle Bank, happened with BCI.

21:27 BCCI happened with Nugent Hand, happened with the banks that were in the United States that was associated with BCCI. PricewaterhouseCooper gives them all glowing, like BCCI, which supposedly was like this $20 billion a year bank, got reviewed by PricewaterhouseCooper and then like four months later went belly up.

21:56 You can tell that they're in collusion. It's a whole scheme. Yes. All right. So they go on to say that the International Crisis Group that this Carla Hills was in charge of is an organization with a quote unquote humanitarian front, but is strictly there to implement U.S. national security agenda in conjunction with the CIA. They also provide international media coverage.

22:24 When the CIA goes into places like the Congo, Uganda and Sudan in order to overthrow the government. So they're they're they're just a flack for the CIA. There was. All right. So this this guy, Templesman, he's a diamond guy. OK, so there was this diamond that was called the Chloe Rock.

22:54 that was sold at Slothby's. I don't know how you say that. S-O-T-H-E-B-Y. It's a famous auction house. It was 84 carat. 84 carat. Okay. And supposedly there's this mining company in Angola. Now keep in mind Angola.

23:26 during the Reagan administration in the 1980s. That's the country that was trying to set up a functioning government that the CIA kept trying to destabilize because they wanted the corrupt guy that was in charge of UNINA because they border the Congo. So they had uranium, diamonds, gold, and all that stuff in Angola. So we sent in the Cuban exiles, the CIA, and everybody that we could find.

23:52 to destabilize Angola and prop up a fake government that was the Unina, guys. So there's this mining company in Angola, which, of course, was the whole reason why we were there, called Endima, E-N-D-I-A-M-A, Endima.

24:15 It was marketing what is referred to as blood diamonds. Now, blood diamonds refers to diamonds that are harvested illegally through basically like slave labor. Right. And of course, this is going to get around to Israel being like the largest diamond trader in the world. And they don't own a single diamond mine. There's these blood diamonds that are harvested out of Africa.

24:45 that are basically trafficked into Israel to create their monopoly on diamonds. And so they have this process that they created that basically, as one person said, rinses the blood from the blood diamonds, but it doesn't erase the fact that people die in these minings.

25:13 through the use of basically slave labor. So Angola's state firm, Endema, is tied to an organization called Lazier Kaplan. It is a diamond company owned by Israeli-American templesmen, diamond cartel, Maurice Templesman.

25:38 Diamond interests were established in the Congo in the early 1960s with the help of the CIA. Slosby's luxury conglomerate identified the seller of the Chloe Diamond as Ron Cohen. He is the CEO of Los Angeles-based company Clean Diamonds, Inc. The stone was from Angola, he told reporters.

26:06 It has gone through what is referred to as a Kimberly process and has their certificate certifying it as a quote unquote clean diamond. Most media reports described Ron Cohen as the CEO of Clean Diamonds, Inc. of Los Angeles. But Reuters identified Cohen as an Israeli diamond dealer. The company Clean Diamonds, Inc. is not even found in the SEC database.

26:35 It was like basically a made up company. It wasn't registered anywhere in the websites that was set up for it was basically fake. The Kimberly process is an organization set up by the diamond industry itself to police itself. Don't you feel better? Yeah, because they're not going to do anything corrupt if they got to investigate themselves. Come on. Right. So we've got the bad cops investigating the bad cops.

27:04 And we all of a sudden have no bad cops. So their whole purpose is to prevent blood diamonds. And because these blood diamonds were obviously used to finance the coups happening in Africa, right? They're just scraping off money off of all of these cells.

27:28 Reuters is a mainstream international news service that supported the diamond industry by covering up the crimes and structural violence that kept Africa poor. Reuters delinks the suffering and the bloodshed caused by the diamond cartels in major diamond producing countries like Angola, Sierra Leone, Congo, Nambia, Botswana, Liberia, Central Africa, Republic and South Africa.

27:57 At an event in 2007, Raphael Marquis described the response of the diamond industry to accusations of atrocities. Quote, they have been shifts by central and local authorities to address the accusations, either for damage control or simply to make more sophisticated the methods of abuse by outsourcing violence to private security companies.

28:24 And that gets into a very interesting conversation. The private security companies that have been hired by these people in order to perpetuate this violence. So back to the diamond. The brilliant cut Chloe diamond, which weighed 84.37 carats, is the second most expensive stone ever sold at auction. Slotby's press release described how Cohen held

28:53 the 385 carat rough stone in his hands two years ago before it was cut when he bought it from and allegedly from the government dining people in Angola, Endema. Sloth Bees is another company involved in the marketing of blood diamonds. In 2005, they partnered with an Israeli-American Steinmetz diamond group to form

29:23 Slothby's Diamonds. Benet and Danny Steinmetz of the Steinmetz Group partnered with Dan Gertler. Now, if you've ever heard Ghost.

29:41 Talk about the African diamonds. He has the best presentation on Gertler there is. You can look up Dan Gertler. Dan Gertler is the guy that flies in and basically was trying to work behind the government's back in the Congo. And he gets he did it a couple of times and he gets met on the tarmac. And he's told to get his ass back on the plane and get out of there.

30:08 Oh, I know exactly. He has talked to me about him before. Yes. Yes. This is the guy. So they're partnering with Dan Gertler and he is considered a White House insider and unofficial ambassador to the Congo, a country cursed by diamonds and other minerals where at least seven million people have died since 1996.

30:37 Slothby's sold 385 gyms at auction for a total of 64 million Swiss francs, which basically amounts to billions of dollars over the time. And Slothby's is a Delaware registered company. Steinmetz and Gertler's partnership between them have controlling interest in Dan Gertler's industry.

31:06 Steinmetz Global Resources, Nicanor and Global Enterprises Corporation, companies with massive diamond concessions throughout the Democrat Republic of Congo in the province of Katanga. And you remember Katanga is the quote unquote breakaway where Otto Skorzeny did the operation to cause the civil war in the Congo to get rid of Lumumba. Yeah, that place.

31:36 Israeli-American diamond cartels involved in the Congo are seeking to displace diamond interest in Angola run by Israel-American Lev Levers and Maurice Tempelsman, top-level partners of the Angola State Diamond Companies. Belgian-born Maurice Tempelsman

31:56 has a long and bloody history in Africa. When the Congo's first premier, Patrice Lumumba, pledged to return diamond wealth back to the Congo in the early 60s, he, Templesman, who began with De Beers in the 1950s, helped engineer the coup of Lumumba and the installation of Mubato and the coup against Ghana's president as well. So he's just...

32:24 willy-nilly going around cooing governments in Africa with the help of the CIA. These are the syndicate. The CIA works for these people. They go in and they do these coos for these people. I believe this was the beginning of what we now know as a conflict diamonds in the Congo, says a diamond export and investigative journalist, Janine Roberts, who authored a book called Glitter and Greed, The Secret World of the Diamond Cartel.

32:55 From then on, diamonds would be extensively used to discreetly fund wars, coups, repression and dictatorships in Africa, unquote. Maurice Tempelsman was chairman of the American Jewish Congress, a Zionist pressure group that claims it works closely with the Israeli military. I bet they do.

33:18 SEC filings show that the LKI directors are high-rolling Zionist lawyers and investment bankers. One director belongs to the law firm that once represented President Kennedy, another Templesman friend. LKI is also connected to the USAID. Oh, jeez. Shocker there.

33:45 It says, Templesman's empire remains rock solid behind Leon Templesman and Son, which is the name of a company, De Beers, and Lazar Kaplan International, the supplier of Tiffany's and Cartier's diamonds. It talks about this whole Kimberly certification and how basically it's a fraud.

34:15 What they found is that, for example, the campaigns of Russ Feingold, a Democrat from Wisconsin, co-chaired the Senate version of the U.S. Clean Diamond Act. And basically, his entire campaign was funded by Leon Tempelsman. So you know that it was a law without any teeth to make it look like they were doing something.

34:46 Also, there was a whole press campaign that was ran through the New York Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times and several others about how wonderful this process was. But when you start asking questions, it basically is the Diamond conglomerates supposedly policing themselves, which they don't do. After the film Blood Diamond opened in the U.S., Diamond's sales had never been better.

35:15 Basically, they used that, although it was a horrific film about how they actually cultivate these diamonds. It was basically taken or turned around as a propaganda thing to say, oh, but we don't do that anymore because we have this clean diamond act. And they had all the movie stars run out with their diamonds on and go, yeah, but mine are clean.

35:43 I know it's the one with, gosh, the famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio, right? Comes out on it. Yeah. I've never seen it. So when they're calling it blood diamonds, I'm just making the assumption because of the people that die in the process that make it or the robbery and the stealing. Yes, that's exactly why. The civil wars that are fought for control of the diamond mines. Gotcha. Yeah, absolutely.

36:09 I just wasn't sure if there's maybe like a satanic twist where they're doing stuff. I got to ask. Well, all these people are Satanists that are orchestrating this entire thing. So kind of in a roundabout way, you're right. So the diamond miners in Angola, they had this name for them, like Artes Santos.

36:32 Basically, they are forced to illegally mine because Angola's mine security companies push people off their own land, basically to starve them. So there are people that go around and basically illegally mine and then sell these diamonds on the black market.

36:53 The legitimate government of Angola forces desperate people to resort to these illegal activities in order to feed their families. And that's oftentimes what ends up being the blood diamonds. These people contribute more to the profit of some of the state diamond mining firms, as well as these industrial interests. There were three private military companies.

37:22 that had been targeting these people in Angola. The mercenary firms called Alpha, A-L-F-A, Five, Teleservices, and K&P Minera defend Angola's big name diamond firms like Sodium and a whole bunch of other Spanish names of companies.

37:52 Human rights researcher Raphael Marquis has recently documented that more than 50 cases of private military companies arresting, beating, and torturing these people. They stop them from fishing in the rivers, growing their own food, and living anything, any way other than being diamond miners. The private military companies operate behind Angola's public diamond company, Entema.

38:22 and they have exclusive rights to Angola's diamonds, no matter whose property they are on. Antima owns 99% of the shares in Sodium, which has a joint venture with that Lazar Kaplan International, and the Israeli-American Maurice Tempelsman. Sodium works for a group called Russo-Israeli Lev Group.

38:52 Entema owns part of Alpha 5, one of the private military corporations that exploit. And Entema is a state owned entity. So the state has are paying private military corporations to torture their own people is basically what we're getting around to. One of the controlling investors, Lev, Lev, Lev, L-E-V-I-E-V.

39:21 runs a global commercial empire that includes all of these different companies. Lev Levy Diamonds, Africa, Israel, commercial real estate that's housed in Prague in London. GoTex, G-O-T-T-E-X, which is a swimwear company. He owns 1,700 FINA gas stations in Southwest US.

39:50 He owns 173 7-Elevens in New Mexico and Texas. He owns 33% of Cross Israeli Highway, which was Israel's first toll road, and many other things. He also is a partner in a thing called Arcady Gatomac, which is an arms dealer. Always got to have one of those. And he works with Danny Yadom.

40:19 Y-A-T-O-M, who is actually a Mossad agent, chief and security advisor to the former Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak. How do you spell Yadim's last name again? Y-A-T-O-M. L'Viv is connected to, he does business in Russia.

40:47 He's also connected to Sandline International, which is a UK South African mercenary firm. And I've come across them before that was operating in Congo and Uganda as basically Gladio cells. So that's a lot of crap. Jesus. A little bit more on Maurice Templeton. He chaired the International Advisory Council at Harvard.

41:19 their AIDS Institute that was embedded in the School of Public Health. He's part of the Council of Foreign Relations, obviously. And he also had worked closely with Walter Kahnsteiner, who worked on the National Security Council under Bill Clinton.

41:46 and was the current director of another gold company also doing business in the Congo. As I said earlier, Maurice Tempelsman had been unofficially the ambassador to the Congo Zaire. Dan Gertler basically replaced him in that role. In 2000, Gertler was named the honorary consul to the Congo. Benny Steinmetz may be the biggest De Beers site holder.

42:16 Africa confidential called confidential called President Kabila's 2003 visit to the Bush White House, a quote unquote coup for Gertler and Steinmetz. Gertler's best friend is Brooklyn born Shyam Libowitz, which is a personal friend of Condoleezza Rice. We got to get both sides. So basically.

42:47 Templesman and Steinmetz bought diamonds from both sides of the Civil War in Angola over 30 years. So they were funding both sides. Israeli diamond tycoon Gertler and Laveeb are reportedly jockeying for power with the daughter of the president of Angola trying to get in and kind of corner the market there.

43:16 The Israeli diamond exchange, these numbers are staggering, and I have to say them out loud because they're staggering. Israeli diamond exchange, and keep in mind, Israel does not own a single diamond mine. There's no diamonds in Israel. Their diamond exchange in Tel Aviv, which today brings Israel $13 billion a year in commerce, and these are several years old, so it's much higher now.

43:44 and is the country's second largest industry. Second largest industry. Israel buys some 50% of the world's rough diamonds, and the U.S. buys two-thirds of that 50%. Diamonds are Israel's top export. In 2005 figures, exports to the EU totaled $10 billion in 2004.

44:14 including $2.5 billion in diamonds. Exports to the U.S. totaled $14 billion in 2004, of which $7 billion was diamonds. Exports to Asia was $7 billion, which three of that was diamonds. Exports to the rest of the world was $6 billion, of which almost $1 billion was diamonds.

44:45 Gertler's grandfather, Moshe Schnitzer, S-C-H-N-I-T-Z-E-R, is known as Israel's Mr. Diamond, founder of the Israeli Diamond Exchange in Tel Aviv. Moshe Schnitzer, son of Dan Gertler's uncle, is Smil Schnitzer, who is the vice chairman of the Belgian-based World Diamond Council.

45:14 the entity that created this Clean Diamond Act. So again, the people that are doing the blood diamond harvesting created the thing that says they're clean. Just to be clear, June 2002, as the Kimberly process, which is the quote unquote Clean Diamond Act, was unfolding, Daniel

45:41 Horowitz, CEO of IDH Diamonds, gave a speech at the Third World Diamond Conference titled Rough Diamonds in a Brave New World. IDH works with Endema and De Beers and several other big diamond cartels. And this is what he says. Ladies and gentlemen, it would be irresponsible to circumvent the.

46:05 fact that it is highly problematic if not unfeasible to work out a system in order to control the flow of rough diamonds around the world the reality is that once diamonds are mined there is almost nothing one can do in order to prevent them from reaching the market no certification scheme can truly be reliable he's basically telling you they're full of shit and none of the stuff they're doing is working not only because war-torn areas are by definition disorganized

46:33 and they're the ones disorganizing it, but mainly because it is intrinsically impossible to distinguish between good and bad diamonds. Misguiding traders and consumers with untrustworthy guarantees would inevitably be demystified over time. As opposed to this, it is critical to publicize that mainstream diamond trade is legitimate. It needs to be said again and again.

46:58 that conflict diamonds are an irrelevant portion of the world's production. And as far as humanitarian issues are concerned, the added value the industry generates worldwide particularly benefits the developing world. I found this. Wholehearted bastard. It is. And I found this article. This article is from nine months ago. It says, Africa nine months ago, Israel uses conflict diamonds to fight.

47:29 finance Gaza genocide through a web of corruption and deceit. Israel is deeply entangled in the lucrative blood diamond trade and the DRC. Here's how they're reaping the windfall profits, which is essentially what you just explained to us. Yeah. Yeah. It is just unbelievable. But I think it's so important to put names to these people behind the scenes that no one ever talks about that are controlling all of this.

48:00 This thing goes on and he talks about there's a whole bunch of other stuff. But I really the thing that to me is the most fascinating of this whole story is an article that appeared in Covert Action magazine. And this was a long time ago. It specifically talks about Maurice Tempelsman. And it says.

48:31 that he accompanied Bill Clinton on a trip to Central Africa where Clinton expanded U.S. support for the Rwanda and Uganda governments that invaded the Congo in order to plunder its diamonds and mineral wealth. So we destabilized those countries and then used them to steal the wealth from the Congo.

48:54 Templesman also developed a plan for Angola that would bring the right wing party Unida into the government to allow his company to bring U.S. made deep mining equipment into the country and then market the stones that were mined. Again, we destabilized Angola for this asshole to go in there and steal their diamonds. Templesman deep intelligence ties were reflected in his serving as the chairman of the Africa American Institute.

49:24 A CIA front involved in propaganda and bringing African leaders to study in the U.S. Again, wait till I get to the good part. I'm not even at the good part. Jesus. And also director of the National Democrat Institution for International Affairs and adjunct at. OK, so remember, I got to say this.

49:52 NED was established by Reagan. NED had four parts. The NDI for the Democrats, the IRI for the Republicans, the union piece and the chamber piece. The Democrat piece is where this guy served as a director. Templesman was on the NDI under the NED that pays for coups with our tax dollars. He's sitting as a director there.

50:25 Okay. It's like John McCain ran the IRI and Lindsey Graham said as a director for decades there, running coups as he runs over and does foreign policy with Ukraine. After Templesman was discovered to have plotted a coup in 1961 against the president in Ghana, where he had invested in diamond mines, George Ball described Templesman to McGeorge Bundy as a rather dubious fellow.

50:56 smooth, soft spoken and a manipulator who had been a generous donor to the Republican Party during the Eisenhower administration, but had emerged as a quote unquote Democrat later on. He's a whatever it takes to be in power kind of guy. In the Congo, Templesman cultivated close ties to Joseph Mubato, who is the guy that the CIA put in office.

51:25 after they murdered Lumumba. Mubato helped Templesman become a millionaire many times over as the two shared ownership in Zaire's two main diamond mines. Mubato helped Templesman gain ownership stake in the Tente Mining Company, which is a major copper mining firm, which Templesman helped him form.

51:56 Now, keep in mind, this guy ends up with Jackie Kennedy. Yeah. Here, let me bring it up so everybody can see this because I found it. Yeah. Yeah. This is just wild to me. This is just. Yes. Wow. So I have a completely different opinion of Jackie Kennedy after doing all of this research. Completely different. There's no way that you sleep with somebody like this. This guy's a monster.

52:29 OK, do you think that just to go a little tinfoil off on the side a little bit, that that may implicate her maybe knowledge or something during the incident when they assassinated JFK? There's something there. I don't know what there is. I've heard people call her a handler that was on the inside. I don't know that that's true. But something happens. I mean.

52:58 But Onassis was a shipping guy that we know without any doubt was involved and made a lot of money off of drug trafficking, weapons trafficking and stuff like that. And she just happens to marry him. And then this guy's the guy that lives with her for like the last 10 or 20 years. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm not buying it. But whatever.

53:24 Okay, so according to a 1979 Washington Post article, Temple's influence on U.S. policy was apparent in his ability to vet the U.S. He basically named the ambassadors to the Congo. During the 1960-61 Congo crisis, when they're trying to murder Lumumba, he worked hand in glove with the CIA station in Congo. You're not even going to believe this next part. This close working relationship was evident.

53:54 Because the station chief in the Congo at the time was a guy by the name of Larry Devlin, D-E-V-L-I-N. Larry Devlin supposedly leaves the CIA and guess where he goes to work? For Templesman. I'm arguing that he worked for Templesman while he was in the CIA because the CIA has never worked for us.

54:28 Devlin was a key figure in the January 1961 assassination of Patrice Lumumba because he wanted to nationalize all of the mineral wealth in the Congo so that the Congolese benefited from it. A guy by the name of Stuart Reed published a book called The Lumumba Plot, The Secret History of the CIA and Cold War Assassination.

54:56 that received glowing reviews in established media like the Atlantic and the New York Times, which tells you right away it doesn't tell you the whole story. Incredibly, Templesman is nowhere mentioned in the book, except in a line at the end where Reed mentions that he hired Devlin after Devlin left the CIA. So he talked about the entire Lumumba plot and never talked about the corporate interests behind it.

55:23 Which is what happens today every time people talk about the CIA. They will talk about the CIA and they'll talk about the military's logistical support for the CIA. But you know and I know they never want to talk about the International Syndicate. Right? Right. They never bring it up. They never want to name names. And this Stuart Reid guy is one of them. He is a guy that wrote an entire book about the plot to assassinate Lumumba and never mentions Templesman.

55:55 who was one of the financial backers of it. So Reed, you can't make this shit up. Reed at the time was the executive editor of a thing called Foreign Affairs, which just so happens to be the in-house journal of the Council of Foreign Relations. So of course, he's not going to out Templesman because Templesman is a part of the Council of Foreign Relations. They write these books as limited hangouts.

56:29 so that they can hide their deeds. Okay, Templesman, let's see. Why a CFR-connected writer would even start writing about it? And he basically says that it's for damage control. They give you a limited hangout part of it while they admit some wrongdoing, but they don't tell you what the real deal is.

56:59 The U.S. foreign policy establishment and the CIA are willing to admit some wrongdoing that has already been exposed, but they want to obscure the criminal conduct behind the wrongdoing. Significantly, Reid admits the CIA and other U.S. government agencies support for the Rwanda-Uganda invasions of the Congo in the 90s and 2000s, resulting in war crimes and plunder from the Congo.

57:28 On, let's see, Covert Magazine reported on a recent visit of the director of national intelligence, Avril Haines, who I've come across multiple times, to the Congo at a time when Rwanda had embarked on a new offensive in eastern Congo that the U.S. was supporting. So what better time to bring out a book that sanitized the past and suggests that while the U.S. may have done something wrong, they're there to clean it all up now.

57:58 while they're allowing more invasions. Reed opens his book with a description of a police raid in the Belgian countryside of the home of a guy by the name of Sowete, whose father was a Belgian colonial police officer that helped dispose of Lumumba's body. He's the guy that came forward with the gold tooth. Oh, I remember. Yes, I remember that story.

58:25 That basically dissolved Lumumba's body in acid. Lumumba's death fit a pattern of cruelty endemic to the Belgian colonial powers throughout the Congo's history. You can go on the internet and see pictures of men holding the hands of their children that had been cut off because they didn't make their quota.

58:54 That day at the mines. The horrific conditions that these people were placed under by these greedy bastards is beyond imagination of anybody that lives in a first world country. You just can't even imagine it. And these were our governments. These were Western governments from Belgium and the Netherlands that were doing these cruel acts.

59:22 So anyway, they go on and talk a little bit about the background of Lumumba. Since we've already done that, I'm going to skip over a bunch of it. Hold on just a second. You got to be an evil man to see that happen in front of you and do nothing. Like even if I was like a bad guy and I'm on that security detail and I get put on that post and I see that they're about to cut the hand off a kid. Like, you know what? How do you do that? I'm like, you know what?

59:52 I know I'm not going to survive this, but I'm going to take some of these evil bastards out with me. That's exactly right. That's what a normal person would do. Take them all down. Yeah, it's just, man, the level of evil, the level of evil is just, Jesus, man. Hold on a second. I got to put this up here. I have too many cords on my desk. Just saying, says conflict diamond equals horrid evil behavior.

1:00:25 Yeah, I agree. All right. So we're going to skip over some of the details that we've already covered about Devlin being the CIA station chief. He also, by the way, was the station chief in Brussels. You know, he also served some time on the payroll of Belgium intelligence while he was doing all of these evil deeds in the Congo, as well as the CIA.

1:00:56 Um, so let's see, it goes on and it talks about the CIA director, Alan Dulles called Lumumba an irresponsible embezzler. They created this whole fake story about, um, how he was a communist. We've talked about all of that. Um, and then we talked about how Eisenhower nor Nixon would meet with him. Um, they pass them off to basically some, um,

1:01:23 I think it was the number two guy in the secretary of state when he came over to try to work a deal directly to give the uranium in the Congo to us directly and cut Belgium out of it. And the U.S. basically told him to pay on sand. And so the CIA then began pouring money into an anti Lumumba campaign and favoring Mubato, whom.

1:01:49 Larry Devlin served as an advisor to. Early in Lumumba's tenure, Devlin coordinated anti-Lumumba riots by paying protesters, exactly like they do in every other destabilization effort. Devlin and his CIA colleagues also made payments to Mubato to ensure his loyalty and that of the key army officers they were going to need to use. They also set up labor union connections.

1:02:19 and student groups subsidizing newspapers to create black propaganda. Again, this is coup 101 for every CIA and how they do it. Orders for Lumumba's assassination came directly from Eisenhower. Devlin was put in contact with Sidney Gottlieb, who was the death doctor on the CIA staff. They concocted a special poison.

1:02:45 that would not show up in an autopsy. They didn't have a chance to use it because they decided on a different course of action because Lumumba went into hiding. And so that's when basically they flush him out. I've mentioned before that the CIA drove around and some people say it was Devlin himself. Some people say it was another person at the CIA station. It doesn't matter. They drove around with his body in that trunk for two weeks.

1:03:14 Before they decided to bury it and then dig it up again and dissolve it in acid. So it appears that the underplay, the CIA's direct role in this guy's book that read entirely leaves out the fact that the CIA linked airline managed by a CIA front company called Air Congo is the one that was used to carry.

1:03:43 Lumumba from Leopoldville to Katanga, where he was eventually killed. Reid also left out the existence of the CIA operation involving the U.S. Air Force, which began flying French fighter jets for the Katanga area to break away because I had mentioned that they established this huge big NATO base in Katanga in order to secure the uranium and not allow Lumumba to have access to it.

1:04:15 He also goes on and talks about how these coups are very similar to the ones that was done in Iran and Guatemala and Venezuela. And he's absolutely right. Reid seems critical of Lumumba's attempt to suppress the Katanga secessionists when the latter were financed by colonial powers, us, to weaken the Congo. He also repeats the rumor that basically, you know, he was.

1:04:44 a communist. So basically, they're just making the argument that the entire thing was basically a CIA limited hangout. But here's an interesting point. They discuss a guy by the name of Ralph Bunch. It's B-U-N-C-H-E. He was a U.S. State Department envoy to the U.N. and a former member of the OSS.

1:05:11 Reed acknowledges his bias against Lumumba, whom Bunch compared to Hitler. So this is our envoy to the UN and he's calling Lumumba Hitler. But he also left out the fact that this Bunch guy was cutting a deal with the guy that had taken Katanga away from Lumumba for him basically to enrich himself.

1:05:40 So he's demonized Lumumba at the U.N. while he's going to get rich after his demise. So he was awarded the presidential medal of freedom from JFK. Yeah, not a good guy. Not a good guy. Reid claims to have interviewed Frank Carlucci, the deputy CIA director under Jimmy Carter and defense secretary under Ronald Reagan.

1:06:10 who was second secretary in the U.S. Embassy in the Congo at the time Lumumba was killed, but does not discuss at all his role in the Lumumba assassination. Reid also leaves out the background of the U.S. ambassador to Belgium in 59 to 61 that called for Lumumba's assassination. That guy's name is William Burden, B-U-R-D-E-N, who headed a CIA front organization. This is

1:06:39 Very interesting. And was the director of American Metal Climax, a mining firm that had heavy investment in the Congo. So the guy that is the U.S. ambassador to Belgium actually has investments in the Congo with a company that he's a director of.

1:07:08 Reid attributes the U.S. criminal conduct in the Congo to paranoia. In the book, which I've read, Thy Will Be Done, which is about Nelson Rockefeller and evangelism in the Age of Oil, they make the point when Lumumba stated in a meeting that Congo and its leadership was now a sovereign country and was not going to allow Belgium to have a monopoly over their uranium.

1:07:38 And that basically was where everybody decided that he had to go. All of the research and resources assistance Reed had, curiously, he doesn't even mention the book or any of the published to date genocide, covert operations, none of that stuff. He doesn't reference anything in his book. Besides Templesman, Reed also fails to discuss a guy by the name of Harold K.

1:08:08 And I had never heard of this guy. He is also a senior executive at American Metal Climax Inc., which owned mines on the Congo and Zambia border and was a financier of African American Institute, which was the CIA front that Templesman chaired. So this Haas child, his name is H-O-C-H-S-C-H-I-L-D.

1:08:39 His first name's Harold. He was born in 1892 to a Jewish family in New York that owned American Metal Company, AMCO, the precursor to American Metal Climax, which produced interest in two of the world's largest copper mines in Africa and provided 10% of U.S. uranium production at the time.

1:09:11 Hochschild was a prominent Democrat Party contributor that helped finance Adlai Stevenson's 1956 presidential campaign. According to a journalist, Keith Snow, Hochschild also was very close to Alan Dulles, whose law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell, did legal work for AMAX. I'm sorry, you can't make this shit up.

1:09:39 Okay, so AMEX was formed in 1957 after American Metal Company merged with Climax Company. AMEX was later incorporated into Phelps Dodge, which was acquired by Freeport Mining Company. Now, this is where my head just went exploding. Freeport Mining Company is the company behind the coup in Chile.

1:10:09 So here they are, an integral player in the coup in Africa, too. And I had never seen that reported anywhere. That's mind blowing to me. Both Templesman and Hochschild fashioned themselves as anti-colonial, liberal, supportive of African independence, but shrewdly intent on manipulating every post-colonial development. So they got rich.

1:10:42 And the others didn't. So we're all for decolonialization, but only if it enriches us. So in the case of the Congo, Templesman opposed Katanga secession and was happy to see Belgium relinquish its power so an opening could develop for him to get into the mining efforts.

1:11:09 Templesman had very close ties with JFK, supporting him in the 60 election and arranging a meeting between Kennedy and Harry Oppenheimer, the South African investor. He employed Kennedy aide Theodore Sorensen, who Mobato would later hire to represent the Congo in a dispute with the Belgium Mining Corporation as a lawyer and Kennedy's defense secretary.

1:11:37 Robert McNamara becomes a lobbyist for. Templesman's influence on U.S. policy was in part through Adlai Stevenson, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. in 1961, who then had already been a presidential candidate, who had been his lawyer. So Adlai Stevenson had been the lawyer for Templesman. A friend of Harold Hochschild, who counted

1:12:11 AMAX, among his company's clients, Adelaide Stevenson, helped Templesman successfully lobby for the scheme by which the U.S. government purchased industrial diamonds from the Congo to be used in a government strategic stockpile in which placed Templesman as the middleman on all the government purchases of diamonds. Our government could have went directly to the government of the Congo. They did not.

1:12:40 They put this man in charge, and this man is tied to the CIA. So you can see the scheming right here. So we're just going to backdoor this money through contributions or whatever, and he gets rich, and then they have covert funding all at the same time. I can't believe this shit's been going on since the 1800s. I'm looking at the dates here on these people, and I'm just like,

1:13:09 How? Like how? Yeah. So another guy whose name I had not come across, George Whitman, W-I-T-T-M-A-N, also operated as a Templesman agent in the Congo from 1959 through at least 61 and was on the payroll of the CIA working for Devlin at the same time.

1:13:38 The Rockefellers were another major driver in the U.S. foreign policy in the Congo. They were shareholders in the Katanga Concession Limited, which owned copper and uranium mines in Katanga. I'd never heard that either. Finance Templesman Congo Ventures. So it's saying the Rockefellers helped finance Templesman and owned stock in Gutenheim Group, a Belgium mining operation.

1:14:07 and the Katanga. Originally, the Rockefellers acquired in full or in part a textile plant, an automobile distributor operation, a pineapple processor, a metal can producer, and a mineral prospecting firm in the Congo. The Rockefeller-controlled Silconi Vacuum Oil Company further owned service stations and gasoline storage terminals worth $12

1:14:37 million dollars at the time. The Rockefellers had direct influence over the Kennedy administration through his Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, who had been the former head of the Rockefeller Foundation, and Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon, who was a close friend of John D. Rockefeller III, who was the chairman of the Rockefeller Foundation from 72 to 75, and Dillon was part of Dillon, Reed, and Company.

1:15:06 a major Wall Street investment bank that floated million dollar bonds to these governments. So they got everything. They got the bank. They got the mining interest and a dead president. Dylan also was an investor in the Belgium's Lawrence Rockefeller's Congolese textile mill.

1:15:34 They also sold automobiles. They basically had a monopoly on automobiles going into the Congo. And as the number two official at the State Department, Dillon met directly. That's right. Dillon was the guy that Lumumba met with when he came to try to renegotiate the uranium. So Dillon Reed is financing the people exploiting the Congo while he is meeting with Lumumba, telling him, no, we aren't going to cut the Belgians out of the uranium.

1:16:05 He is subsidizing the Rockefellers raping the Congo, telling Lumumba to go back home. That Whitman guy you brought up has. So he's he's interesting because he's pretty much in my backyard. He's out of San Bernardino County. But even more interesting than that was he was the deputy sheriff for the state prison. More interesting than that, when they opened up the San Bernardino Mounted Rangers.

1:16:36 This is in March of 1859. He becomes the first second lieutenant. More interesting than that is him and one of his peeps, a Sidney P. Wadey, discover, astonishingly, a silver mine in Bear Valley, right in San Bernardino. All these ties to these mines with these other people, and then they just happen to discover,

1:17:10 One of these while he's doing his while he's doing his deputy patrolling. Exactly. Because if they're deputies and they're patrolling, that means they could kick anybody off that property that may find what they want to find. Yeah. And that particular county also happens to be the one that a one Travis Walker that was the captain of the San Bernardino SWAT team was. Yeah. I'm not going to go there. I'm not even going to go there. Just.

1:17:40 I'm going to dig some more on that one, but I'm very curious. I'm just very curious because if the corruption existed back then, it would make sense for it to continue on. Well, let me just tell you, of all of these stories, when it comes domestically, the most corrupt police department, bar none, is LAPD. The corruption throughout Southern California of the police forces out there as it relates to the CIA.

1:18:12 And they you know, we talked about that one time before of how the CIA had basically embedded itself in the LAPD and had been taking people for special training and stuff like that. It is by far the most Miami's a close second, but I think L.A.'s the worst one. And that affects all of the surrounding areas. It does, especially with the gangs. You can't get you can't get rid of a gang problem when you got a gang internally.

1:18:41 Yes. Just real quick. Do you do you remember this would have been I mean, sometime this would have been early last year when we were doing the show and we had the conversation surrounding how law enforcement in California was now hiring illegals. They're allowing them to go to the academy. Do you remember that conversation? It might have been around like the O.J. Simpson case that we did. It might have been even around that time. Yeah. And I and I told everybody my concern is is.

1:19:08 When one of these illegals that was given a badge and a gun ends up killing an American citizen. And it just happened. It just happened in San Diego. They're not even legally allowed to have a gun. You just had an illegal citizen that the state of California gave a badge and a gun to, and they just killed an actual American citizen. If it gets noise, which I plan on trying to make it get noise.

1:19:38 It's going to create issues. It should. OK, so the Rockefellers were key financiers of a CIA front organization, Africa American Institute, that helped manipulate the political aspects of the Congo and other nations in South in Africa. But there were similar organizations that were set up in Latin America and the Middle East basically doing the same thing.

1:20:09 The author that had written that book also did not provide any context of either the Rockefellers, the hostile temples men or the African-American Institute as they were discussing the Congo. It says that.

1:20:28 The author's pay masters at the Council on Foreign Relations would not have allowed him to discuss anything that was of significance or affected a CFR member, which is why it's so important when you read these books to vet the author. Because had I come across this guy's book and I look him up and I find out he's the editor of the CFR, I may go ahead and read the book, but it completely changes.

1:20:58 you know you're not going to get any new information. And that's why that book that Colonel Prouty wrote about some similar things, a lot of people use that book as a reference. And he does talk about a lot of stuff, but it was nothing new. There was not a single thing that he talked about that was new information. He basically just kind of collectively pieced together

1:21:27 a bunch of misdeeds of the CIA and the role of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in them. But it was documenting things that had already been released. He's not talking about the syndicate. He's not talking about all of the people that's behind it. And he was in a position to know why they were doing all of this stuff. And so I get a lot of people ask, hey, did you read his book? Yeah, but it's not one of my go-to books.

1:21:56 As a part of this, it's just very important to understand who the author is. So that's it. I'm still right now. This gears are turning on some on some stuff, Colonel. I want to put it together. I want to see. And we will see. We will see. Let me get to you. You've been doing some stuff for Warhamster. Any more things coming up with him?

1:22:24 Yeah, we normally do one on Thursday at noon. We're going to move it to Friday at noon this week. I have lunch plans with my former deputy from CENTCOM tomorrow at lunch. And so I'm going to be gone for a month and I want to have lunch with her before I go. It's a fellow retired colonel. We just love getting together and kind of chit-chatting about all of the stuff going on.

1:22:55 That's about it. We'll be doing our four o'clock show tomorrow. And on Friday, we're finishing up our book, The Blonde Beast, The Splendid Blonde Beast, that gives you a completely different perspective on the end of World War Two and why Nuremberg was basically a fraud. Well, let me ask you this real quick. Did you have a chance to see General Flynn's post today? Which one?

1:23:23 The long one, how to avoid war. I think it was today. It could have been yesterday, avoiding World War III. I believe I did. It's the longest post I've seen him do in a long time. I think he has like 10 points, 10 or 11 points that he put in there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He numbered them. Yeah, he numbered them. When you see what's going on right now, the move that Ukraine did on Russia. Right.

1:23:50 I it's Operation Gladio. I'm almost embarrassed to ask you if you see Operation Gladio there. But what is your Operation Gladio take on that? I am just very curious on what's going on in Russia between Russia and Ukraine with this last move where we have we have, you know, politicians and former politicians that go to Ukraine. And then shortly thereafter, we see a drone attack on the nuclear bombers for for Russia. So pull up.

1:24:19 Mike Pompeo's bio and look for the company that he created. Did you see my post on that? It sounds familiar, but I'm not. Pull him up and look at the company that he created with his former West Point classmates. Do you see it talked about in there? Let's see. Early career. West Point friends, Brian Ulrich.

1:25:02 Is it the Aeromachine Precision Profiling B&B Machine one? It's the... Bayer Aerospace? The Aerospace one. All right. Look at those people. The classmates of his that were involved in this project, one of them was the number three guy of his at the CIA.

1:25:28 So when he's the CIA director, he brings him in as basically his gatekeeper. In Pompeo's bio, it goes on down and it talks about his wife basically starts working at the CIA as his scheduler, non-paid. She's not even an employee, but she becomes a gatekeeper to him at the CIA. And the other guy.

1:25:56 that he was partners with in this business venture, he hires him out in as the State Department guy. And so this entire operation, and we know the State Department's no different than the CIA, he basically has this entire apparatus that he brings around with him of people that have tentacles far beyond him.

1:26:24 And him showing up in Ukraine. And then, of course, Lindsey Graham. And no one makes this distinction. And it makes me want to scream. Lindsey Graham is the sitting director of the International Republican Institute. There is no way he is going to Ukraine as a sitting senator. And he is billing us for that.

1:26:52 But he is going as the, you can't separate them. He is going over there as a director of the National Endowment for Democracy, the International Republican Institute, because he is a director of that organization. And that is the same auspices in which John McCain was standing in the hotel watching the Maidan coup.

1:27:18 He was there as the chairperson of the IRI. He wasn't there as a senator. He helped fund the coup. And that's the whole point of Lindsey Graham going over there. As a director, he would have been responsible for the expenditures of the money that overthrew the government of Ukraine. And then him going over there while NATO is using the Ukraine as a proxy to attack Russia.

1:27:48 is one of the most mind-boggling things I've ever seen. So you have Lindsey Graham, Blumenthal, and Pompeo, which I would argue all have ties to this, because the National Endowment for Democracy is nothing other than a CIA front. They literally fund coups for the CIA. It says right in their Wikipedia page they do it. It's not like it's a secret.

1:28:16 And so they're going over there on behalf of these organizations while at the same time they'll dual-hat it as a senator. So you think they're going over there as part of a CODEL, Congressional Delegation, and that's not why they're over there at all. They're over there as CIA fronts destabilizing and fighting a proxy war on behalf of NATO against Russia.

1:28:43 And the reason I wanted to ask you that, and dang, you dropped the mic on that one, to say the least, is one of the particular statements that General said in there. And I thought this was very important because to me, this is an indicator of panic and being desperate. He's saying that if exactly what you just described, doing it with these CIA front companies, that if that's the avenue that they went.

1:29:10 That means the deep state is now operating outside of using the government in its capacity. And they're doing it on their own now. Like they're just making these moves with Ukraine, giving the green lights and the go heads to facilitate these attacks. If they're doing it outside of, you know, behind the Trump's administration behind without getting the permission to do it. And that would not be the first time they've done this. They did this to Kennedy. There were times when Kennedy said explicitly, this is my foreign policy.

1:29:42 The coup that they originally ran on Indonesia, the entire time Kennedy was president, they are undermining the legitimacy of Sukarno in order to, and they're bringing.

1:30:04 The senior army officials in Indonesia, by the thousands, into Fort Leavenworth and Fort Benning, training them, just like they did with School of Americas. This went on through the entire Kennedy administration, even though Kennedy respected Sukarno and wanted him to remain neutral. He was fine with him being neutral. He didn't care.

1:30:30 They were very anti-imperialistic because they had been under Dutch control for hundreds of years. They had just gotten their independence. Kennedy loved that about Sukarno and that he was trying to put together a coalition government. Well, the CIA, because Standard Oil, Allen Dulles and all of the rest of them wanted the oil that had already been discovered that no one knew about in a mountain full of gold.

1:30:59 That no one knew about. These were secret discoveries that the Dutch knew about and the Rockefellers knew about. But the government in Indonesia didn't know about them and neither did Kennedy. So they're they're undermining the entire time that they in the State Department cable say it. They say, you know, hey, this is not consistent. We know we don't give a shit. It is not the first time they've done it. The general putting that that post out there is very concerning.

1:31:34 I want to make sure I'm clear to the audience. I don't want people to misunderstand me. It's not unexpected. I've kind of expected we're going this route, but when you see it start to actually unfold, that's kind of unexpected. You always know it's coming, but then when it actually happens, you're like, holy shit. Okay, here we go. People are going to start making moves. We're going to start seeing what's going on. You guys, make sure you're following the kernel.

1:32:02 uh on on social media if i i love wednesday night's operation gladio live and i see all the messages from you guys that you want to know you get to ask her every day if you follow her and here's the other thing that i'll ask you after you follow her make sure you tell everybody else about it and i saw and one thank you thank you for everybody that was tagging joe rogan and tucker carlson um with the colonel that was so cool literally it was like three or four days colonel

1:32:31 I'd go and my feet would populate. Doug Carlson, Joe Rogan, Colonel Operation Gladio. And then it'd be like Joe Rogan. I was just like, this is awesome. So you guys just don't stop. Don't stop. Be relentless. Let's get the Colonel on there. Any last words, Colonel, before we say goodnight? So.

1:32:49 I don't know if this is the numbered one, but he put out another one, General Flynn did, that says, I don't believe the recent escalation against Russia's strategic bomber fleet was authorized or coordinated with the president. It's, oh, shoot, I just lost it. That's the one I'm talking about, too. But that one isn't the one that had the numbers. Let me get it up here just real quick again. Let's see.

1:33:17 Pretty sure I bookmarked it. Let me see. Because I'm going to talk about it on a Monday show. Where did it go? No, not the attention one. That's a short one. Another one that's longer. Yeah, I was kind of taking them all on today. Okay, here it is.

1:33:47 My response to him was, NATO and the collective intelligence agencies have worked outside the quote-unquote system to carry out assassinations, overthrow governments, and the reason they have NATO secret armies, Operation Gladio. They didn't go away when Italy revealed their existence in 1990. The election interference, the coups, the assassinations are still being carried out today. Got to let them know, Colonel. I'll go repost it, too, so I'll hope to get some traction. But this is the one I was talking about right here.

1:34:19 Yeah, it's number 12. That's the one he put out after this first one that he put out. Gotcha. That's more in-depth. Yeah, I saw that one. 12, 1 through 12. Yeah, if you guys are unaware, I'll cover it in detail on Monday nights. If you guys are not aware, I do do a show outside of Operation Gladio on Monday nights called Just Alpha, where I do my assessment from one week to the other week. And you guys...

1:34:50 are showing up there and big audiences, Colonel, big audience. It's been pretty late. And I know the audience is like, you're really killing us on the East coast. And I'm like, I'm sorry. Sorry. You know, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays. It's recorded. There you go. Always catch the replays. You guys make sure you go down the link. Go ahead. So did you watch the Nino interview? I have not. I have not. I have it on the screen, but I have not watched it. Okay.

1:35:16 You're going to let everybody know. Let everybody know about that. That's not aware of it. OK, so he puts out I did get a few comments. Nino has his own TV channel and he puts out all of his interviews.

1:35:31 behind a paywall for several days, and then he puts them available for free over on Rumble, and it'll be out in the next couple of days for free if you don't want to subscribe to his channel, but I recommend you do. He puts out awesome content, and he had me on, so yeah, go Nino, and I can't tell you what was hilarious when we first started the interview. He was like, well, something about where can people find you, and I said, I'm at the Colonel's Corner, and he goes, oh,

1:36:01 this corner. And I said, I know, I noticed that when you did your interview with Alpha that I was like, yes, now I got something in common with him. He says, yeah, that's pretty cool. So anyway, it was a great interview and I've gotten a lot of feedback. I actually got a lot of DMs after people who saw it behind the paywall come to my page on X and was like, oh my gosh.

1:36:31 And I do think, you know, very interesting because of all the people that he has interviewed over the course of the time he's had his show. He has a very good background of a whole bunch of pieces. But as I described to him, his pieces are all laying on the table. It's like a puzzle. He has no picture to look at how to put the pieces together. And I told him.

1:36:59 that I was going to give him the skeleton to put all the body parts on. I said, all you've got is a bunch of body parts laying around, and I'm going to give you the skeleton. And so we go over basically as much as you can in an hour, nuts and bolts of what Operation Gladio is. And it was truly, I love watching people's initial reaction when you're able to put together something that they've obviously been struggling.

1:37:29 with of making sense of the whole thing that first light bulb moment and you could clearly see during the the show that that was kind of an aha moment um that it was able for him to put a lot of the pieces that he has gathered from all of his i mean he has done amazing work

1:37:49 Um, and the people that he has interviewed, and I think it allowed him to begin putting all of those pieces together. So I had a lot of fun doing it. He is one of the original people that I first started watching when I started to figure all this out. Cause you, you, you go on search and his popped up and I was like, all right, let me listen to that. I was like, he's kind of cool. All right, let me listen to him. Uh, and he was a character and then, you know, you know, the rest is history, but, um,

1:38:16 I need to I need to tell him he needs to bring you on from time to time to keep. He already said he's going to. And I told I got when I got off the interview, I called my girlfriend and I said, whoever thought I was going to be the military advisor to a boxer. Yes. So anyway, I love doing the show. It was a blast. Well, you guys, I will say one. Nino is a friend. I absolutely love Nino. He's one of the people I.

1:38:45 Had a chance to meet in person. So I would say absolutely go to Nino's corner dot TV and subscribe. That is only a couple of bucks. It's, it's, it's, it's not a crazy amount of money. And he does have a lot of cool guests that are on there. He does. So as a matter of fact, I'll be meeting with him in Arizona next month, July to do some in studio recordings. So I'll be, I'll be a guest with them on there. So looking forward to that. That'll be fun. That'll be awesome. So.

1:39:14 He's like, yeah. I don't know if I can say what to say. It was funny. He shared a funny story with me. And as a result of that, he's going to try something different. I get to be a part of it. I don't want to share it if I can't. You guys, thank you for joining us tonight. The Alpha Warrior Show with, of course, the amazing Colonel. You guys, links are down in the description. If you want the Gladio t-shirt, you want the Gladio cup, you want the Gladio coins, that's the first link. Go and get it. With that, I'll see you guys tomorrow morning on Badlands Daily. Good night and Semper Fi.
