0:00 71. You guys got to keep me straight. All right. So we're going to start on Chapter 20, Carter Blindsided. Shackley was still inside the CIA and Klein was in his final months at the CIA in the mid-1978 when the squeeze they had helped orchestrate on President Carter began to take effect.

0:25 Within the CIA, Shackley was seen by the disenfranchised and disheartened case officers as their natural leader. This status gave him plenty of room to operate, and supposedly the unimportant job Turner had put him in as a liaison to other intelligence agencies were tailor-made for him to continue his work with an entity called the Safari Club.

0:52 Bridget, if you wouldn't mind pulling up or SR 71, one of the two, pull up the excerpt that we have out there on Wikipedia on the Safari Club, because again, it much like the World Wildlife Foundation, most people assumed these things had something to do with wildlife. I mean, hello, Safari, but they weren't anything to do with that at all. And.

1:21 Shackley used the Safari Club basically to pass himself off as the new James Angleton. And remember that Angleton covered both the Vatican desk and the Israeli Mossad desk, which is very interesting in and of itself, if you think about it for two seconds. Turner's decision, Turner is the CIA director, to put Shackley in this position demonstrated his lack of knowledge of how the entire thing worked from the inside.

1:50 Late in 1978 was the crucial time in the Carter administration when Carter had staked a great deal of his credibility on the peace accord between Egypt and Israel. But in spite of the vast support for such a treaty, the American Jewish community, the Israelis were suspicious of Carter's motives. They had been burned by Turner's edict that Israel would no longer have special status within the CIA.

2:20 There was a certain irony in that both the Israeli and Saudi regimes regarded Carter as naive and that he could not be trusted with his own intelligence service because they were scheming behind their backs. That's why. If you guys tuned in to last week and this week's Syrian episodes, you understand that there was a lot of backstabbing going on and coalescing among.

2:48 Israel and Saudi at the time in order to gang up on Egypt. As a result, according to Crowley, while Shackley was withholding information from President Carter, the intelligence take from Wilson's operations and from the Safari Club, the Israeli government simply ended the infusion of Middle East intelligence that the U.S. had relied on for decades.

3:18 In the end, Turner had no reliable sources of information on the increasingly volatile situation in Iran. President Carter had no way of knowing how badly the situation had deteriorated since he and his wife had attended the 2000th anniversary of the peacock throne just two years earlier.

3:49 Remember the adage that we have come, the pattern, if you will, that the CIA deals with someone for a period of time while grooming their replacement. And because the whole narrative of this is, generally speaking, when you have a corrupt person that has been installed by the CIA in a country.

4:13 They're eventually going to be corrupt with the CIA too. So the CIA is never satisfied to install a dictator and walk away. They maintain the involvement and already have picked out the next stooge that they're going to install in the government. Turner and Carter were surprised almost on a daily basis with darker news from Iran. And they appeared to not comprehend the effects of the fall of the Shah.

4:44 would have on the stability of the entire region. Now, again, a lot of people believe that the fall, the quote unquote fall of the Shah was all planned as well, that he had outlived his usefulness, the installation of the Ayatollah Khomeini, the October surprise that eventually comes that ends up with Carter not getting reelected because the hostages held over, that all of that was staged by the CIA.

5:13 There's pieces of it that was definitely part of the CIA, whether the entire thing is staged is up for debate. President Carter's inner circle was cut off from intelligence that they needed to control policy, and neither the president nor his DCI had a clue about how to remedy it.

5:34 The consequences of this intelligence failure would have been enormous, as demonstrated by history, especially with the Middle East and the inability to understand what was going on. Carter's own national security advisor, Rosensky, told the author in May 2004 that the focus was not on Afghanistan or Islamic issues, but on the goal of preventing the Soviets' expansion.

6:00 With the fall of the Shah in February 1979, Islamic fundamentalism, with its roots, prejudices, and violence, swept across Persia. The Shah fell sick with cancer, and for all of the billions that the U.S. has spent arming him to keep him in power,

6:26 All of that supposedly was for naught because now all of the weaponry had fallen into the hands of supposedly the people we didn't want to have those weapons. The lack of warning could be blamed in part on the unwillingness of the Shah's closest friend, Richard Helms, who in and of himself is CIA.

6:53 to face reality. In addition, Helms and his associates had made money off the Shah in the weapons deals. They were going to milk the goat until he fell over. That was a quote. What Jimmy Carter didn't realize was that the goat, for all practical purposes, was dead. The intelligence failure regarding Iran could be linked directly to the gutting of the clandestine services. That's not true. Because when they don't like you,

7:23 they're going to kill you or they will withhold the information. So they are not tied at all. But again, this book's written by the CIA. Shackley's new job put him in charge of requirements from the CIA and their allied counterparts. This meant that he worked out arrangements for the exchange of information. Also, just the information.

7:56 Wilson had been reporting back to Shackley from Libya would have been enough to tell Carter what was about to happen in Iran. Wilson's main contact in the Libyan intelligence was a guy by the name of Colonel Sanusi, S-A-N-U-S-I. He was bringing dissident Shiite Iranians into

8:24 Libya by the hundreds for paramilitary and assassination school, a program funded by Moscow and the East German intelligence. Now, that's a crock of shit. Just let me go ahead and tell you that. The people funding that assassination school was the CIA, but they're not going to tell you that in a book with material from the CIA.

8:49 Wilson was sending both Chi-Chi Quintero, Miami's post office box, and couriers the names of Iranian dissidents being trained. Because keep in mind, this is the Shah's Iran, which we're running. So these CIA agents are trying to tell us that Iran is sending Iranians.

9:17 that the CIA is basically in charge of, to a terrorist training school ran by the Russians. Hello, that doesn't make any sense at all. Okay, Wilson traveled to Tehran routinely to meet with his associates in the Savak. And again, the Savak is a creation of the West, namely...

9:47 General Schwarzkopf's dad. Wilson supplied them with information and the Savak had began a worldwide program of assassinations. Huh. Are we supposed to believe that that was funded by the Russians too? No. Not as long as the Shah was there. So Wilson goes on and says, but I didn't want...

10:19 to cross Shackley, Secord, or Von Marbog. So Wilson said that he was supplying names of the people that the Savak was sending to those schools because they're going to use them because they were for them. They weren't for the Russians. Wilson looked upon favors for the Savak as a price that he had to pay to stay in business. He had a remarkable

10:51 talent for interacting with repressive regimes. This talent, which was merely part of a salesman bag of tricks, pleased his customers. Iranian Shiites were not the only ones being trained in Libya. The Kremlin was financing training in propaganda, terrorism, and organization and intelligence for revolutionaries.

11:24 from scores of countries yeah that wasn't the kremlin that was us for several um let's see what was happening in libya would have a direct future consequence on many people in the american sphere of influence which means they were going to be using these assassins not the russians wilson discovered that libya

11:53 was training Latin Americans as well. Huh. Let me see if they say Russia was funding that too. Because we know we funded that as well. So we're supposed to believe that Libya is training terrorists from Russian-funded people and from the CIA Operation Condor. It ain't happening, people. Unlike Reagan, Carter was not convinced that the Sandinistas were...

12:24 dominated by Marxists because they weren't. Had he been given the information that many of them had been trained in Libya, the president might have had second thoughts, but they weren't trained by Russian funded people. Again, you have to know this when you're reading these books to be able to see where they spin the narrative here. Shackley and others weren't merely trying to get

12:54 information withheld from Carter, they were actually trying to work around Carter's requirements to adhere to human rights, you know, because nobody cares about them. Wilson, Shackley, and Clines all defended their actions in various FBI interviews on the grounds that Carter's policies were naive, so why bother paying attention to them? The private intelligence network was created under the guise of morality. In reality, there was another motive.

13:24 just as strong, money. At the beginning of 1979, the Carter presidency was coming completely unglued. At this point, Israeli intelligence decided to compromise the president through his brother, Billy. Albert Hakim from the Israeli end got in touch with Tom Clines to set up the operation. Clines in turn gave Doug Slatter

13:49 his assignment to convince the Libyans that Billy Carter should be put on their payroll as a goodwill ambassador. This would be devastating to President Carter and very useful to the Republicans. Wilson had no knowledge of the operation until it was well underway. By coincidence, Wilson had decided to talk to Saeed Khwatafatam, who was Colonel Gaddafi's cousin, about the bad press Libya was getting around the world. Wilson said, quote,

14:20 They were getting beat over the head with every kind of terrorist problem that they could think of. And I suggested that they hire a firm to represent them and tell the truth, at least a better truth than what was getting out, unquote. Because, of course, we know the CIA loves using those PR firms. So he agreed, and I contacted Paul Sear, C-Y-R, who lined up and flew to Libya.

14:50 two New York PR people for a total of $15,000. They came to Libya and we met with the public relations minister. The minister informed us that he was working on an important project. Now he informed us that he was bringing in Billy Carter, the brother of the president to help out with PR. As for Billy Carter.

15:14 I told them the worst possible thing they could do was to hire Billy Carter because he was considered an idiot in the United States. Because he's not there because he has brains. He's there to dirty up President Carter. My PR people went home believing that Wilson was a loser and Billy Carter came to Libya. They showed Billy Carter around the oil fields, farms, Air Force.

15:40 They also held a big party and all the government people and oil people came to the party. I did not get invited and wouldn't have gone even if I had. Booze was served. It was fantastic. People from all of the oil companies could not believe that they were drinking martinis with Gaddafi and Billy Carter. Billy Carter was drunk the whole while he was in Libya. One time in front of a group of people, he left the car and went over to the side of a hangar and peed.

16:10 in public this didn't impress too many people in the middle east they thought if the president's brother acted like this then america must be bad yeah i'd say so wilson explained you have to understand the mentality of arabs on something like this if someone had a brother of qaddafi you would have a good connection so they thought if you had the brother of carter you should also have a good connection

16:39 Anyway, Billy Carter went home to the U.S. in a blaze of bad publicity from both Libya and the U.S. President Carter disclaimed no knowledge of any of the events. And so you find out that the entire dirtying up of Billy Carter was at the hands of the CIA and Israel. Not long afterwards in Malta, a Libyan connection of Wilson's showed up.

17:08 with a telegram in Arabic. It also said that somehow Billy Carter ended up with $2 million as a result of his PR trip to Libya. Joe Lisker, L-I-S-K-E-R, Joel, J-O-E-L.

17:32 who investigated the Billy Carter case for the Justice Department said that in 1981 interview that Billy Carter had received at least twice the $200,000 publicly revealed amount. Before his death in 1988, Billy Carter acknowledged in an interview with the author that he had been paid $200,000, but because the IRS refused to divulge the amount, they couldn't verify it.

17:56 By this time, Wilson was about to be indicted in the U.S. He was desperate for any information that he could buy his way out of his trouble with. Wilson said, I get over to Malta and I'm going through some of this stuff and I tried to get a copy of this telegram. If I had gotten a copy of it, I would have really had to have been set, but I couldn't get a copy.

18:20 All I did was read it. They said Billy Carter got $2 million and he only reported $200,000. They paid him $2 million. That's not a lie. I saw it on the internal document. The publicity hurt the Libyans, but it hurt Jimmy Carter more. While Ed Wilson could not get his hands on the cable detailing the payoff to Billy Carter, there was one man who could. Wilson's old nemesis, Bobby Ray.

18:49 Inman, now headed the NSA. And every wire transfer in the world was picked up by the NSA. When a key word or phrase appeared, that document showed up. Like Shackley, Inman had high hopes of becoming the next CIA director. Inman had confided in some people that he believed Carter would replace Turner in the second term. Like Shackley,

19:18 Inman was not afraid to play hardball. Even with the President of the United States, Inman had the NSA intercepts confirming that Billy Carter was paid as an unregistered foreign agent of Libya as early as April 1979. Inman asked for a meeting with the Attorney General and informed him of the nature of the information he had on Billy Carter. When the Attorney General asked him for the actual evidence, Inman balked.

19:45 He told the Attorney General that to provide such information would reveal sources and methods of the NSA, and that was a violation of law, national security. Meanwhile, it turned out that the Libyans wanted Billy for more than PR. For his $2 million, Billy was supposed to lobby his brother to allow a shipment of five C-130 aircraft to Libya with spare parts.

20:12 A few weeks after Billy Carter returned from his first of two trips to Libya, he called Brzezinski, the president's national security advisor, and asked for a briefing on the status of the C-130 deal. William Quant, Q-U-A-N-D-T, a Carter National Security Council aide, briefed Billy,

20:37 In perhaps the most bizarre act of the scandal, Brzezinski himself called Billy Carter in and told him that he was aware of the secret NSA intercepts that Carter had been paid by Libya. Brzezinski, according to his own statement, warned Billy to register as a foreign agent in order to comply with the law.

21:07 received from NSA, which were among the most protected forms of intelligence. Before this story ended, Billy Carter had hosted a Libyan delegation in Georgia, like the state of Georgia. It was not a pleasant scene for the Israelis. Billy's most famous quote during the reception at Atlanta Hilton was, quote, the only thing I can say is there is a hell of a lot more Arabians.

21:37 Then there are Jews, unquote. Almost at the same time, the Justice Department, Joel Lisker, wrote a letter to Billy Carter demanding that he register as a FARA agent. In August 1979, Billy Carter led yet another delegation to Libya, this time for an entire month. Jimmy Carter, his brother's bizarre activities have become a nightmare.

22:03 In August of 1980, President Carter wrote his brother, I am deeply concerned that Billy has received funds from Libya and that he may be under obligation to Libya. These facts will govern my relationship with Billy as long as I'm president. Billy has no influence on U.S. policies or actions concerning Libya in the past, and he will have no impact in the future. By withholding the intelligence concerning the unfolding

22:30 Iranian revolution, the fact that the Shah was in jeopardy, Shackley and his associates made Carter look like a fool. The Billy Carter affair handled by Clines on the American end made the president look out of control. So in other words, you're witnessing the setting up of Jimmy Carter by the CIA on people that were actually already fired. They just haven't left the building.

23:00 That's kind of like what happened with JFK, who was assassinated by people that he fired from the CIA. No one in the intelligence community who was in a serious position to help Carter believed that he had anything to gain by providing that help. Carter was caught among men who had total contempt for him and his human rights agenda.

23:26 To compound his predicament, Carter was an outsider to his own government. While members of the Democrat establishment made up his administration, most of them in the foreign policy arena, like Brzezinski, had been cooperating with the CIA for years. Cyrus Vance, his Secretary of State, had been an Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Johnson administration and was deeply involved in the overthrow of the Brazilian government.

23:56 Isn't that interesting? What does a secretary of defense have to do with overthrowing a government? Other influential old line Democrats like Clark Clifford, a BCCI CIA money laundering vein, had loyalties that came nowhere near Jimmy Carter. When Carter refused to drop the criminal investigation of former CIA director Richard Helms concerning his activity in Chile,

24:28 Another coup. Clifford, though he was not Helms' lawyer, actively lobbied the Justice Department to drop their investigation because he's afraid that it's going to show up his role in BCCI and the money laundering. Richard Bennett Williams, excuse me, Edward Bennett Williams.

24:54 who was Helms' lawyer, was simultaneously serving on the president's foreign intelligence advisory board. That sounds like a conflict of interest, doesn't it? He's on the intelligence board and he's representing somebody. Whoa. Williams regarded the Washington's, he was regarded as one of the Washington's premier lawyer and was angered when Carter fired him from the board with a form letter.

25:29 Oh, Alan Dulles ringing in my ear. Carter, not inclined to take advice anyway, had few places to turn. He and his CIA director had so offended the national security establishment that virtually everyone wanted them removed from office. That sounds like Trump. They were not going to tell him anything that might prevent that eventuality happening.

25:56 It got so bad that according to William Corson, that a major ongoing CIA operation in Indonesia was kept totally secret from both Carter and Turner. What they were not told was outrageous. They, Carter and Turner, were simply not on the need to know list. They didn't tell Carter what they were doing, even when it was asked. And Indonesia, as you guys remember, was the overturning of...

26:26 The Sukarno-Suharto coup. And no one ever volunteered the information. No one told Carter that the U.S. ambassador to Iran, William Sullivan, who was publicly criticizing Carter's policy in Iran, had been the ambassador to Laos while Ted Shackley was running the secret war there. Holy shit. Talk about incestuous. Sullivan.

26:58 was appalled at Jimmy Carter's focus on human rights over intelligence. Sullivan and his colleagues preferred the base, believed that the basis for all foreign policy stopped at the doorstep of the best interest of U.S., regardless of the human rights violations. According to Wilson and others, he considered Carter disloyal to the Shah.

27:26 I'm sorry, I thought Carter was supposed to be loyal to the Constitution. What did I just miss here? Holy shit, these people are crazy. Carter had no way of knowing that Sullivan and Shackley shared a series of secrets that went back to include covering up all of their drug trafficking from Laos.

27:46 According to William Corson, more than 100 prisoners of war captured in the secret war in Laos had been deliberately declared dead or missing in Vietnam before the first year of the Nixon administration to keep up the charade that no one was fighting in Laos. Corson said that the policy of lying about where soldiers had actually been captured or killed had begun under the

28:15 Corson believed that the President Carter did not understand how tough it was for people like Shackley and Sullivan. Quote, these men would betray a comrade in arms in the name of policy. To betray a sitting president they did not particularly like was in many ways for them a much lesser matter, unquote. Shackley was prepared to use every resource, every trick in the book to remove Carter and Turner.

28:44 because he wanted Turner's job. Among his most crucial resources at the time was Frank Carlucci, Stanfield Turner's nonpartisan deputy. And Frank Carlucci was also the Secretary of Defense. Another crucial contact was Carter's security advisor, Brzezinski's briefing of Billy Carter on Libya.

29:13 had embarrassed the president because it suggested that Billy had special access. So Brzezinski was involved in the setup as well. The answer would lie in the possibility that there was more to Brzezinski than what he was inclined to portray. Brzezinski had been a CIA asset while a graduate student.

29:36 at Columbia University in the 1960s. Furthermore, he had kept up his relationship with the CIA, who had first brought him into the brotherhood, none other than Ted Shackley. In 1960, when Shackley had came back from the Berlin operating base, Bob, after having been beaten out of the base chief's job, he returned to the CIA headquarters, banished,

30:07 to the East European Division. One of his small pleasures was to recruit a promising Polish-born student by the name of Brzezinski. When Shackley met with Brzezinski decades later, they were not old friends talking about their best days, said Robert Crowley. It was a control officer talking to his agent. So Shackley was Brzezinski's handler.

30:36 In this instance, the agent happened to be the president's top national security advisor. Carter never had a chance. From the beginning, Shackley had the influence to get his men on the president's national security staff. And what happened when President Trump picked his national security advisor? He got set up. And then who came in? McMaster. And who did he bring in? Eric Caramella.

31:08 And where was he from? The CIA. So General McMaster had a handler too. And he served as President Trump's national security advisor. Do you see how this whole thing works? And who does the CIA report to? The national security advisor. So the CIA hires their own boss. And their national security advisor has a CIA handler. Nothing's new.

31:42 Shackley was finally in a position to run his most important counterintelligence operation. Unfortunately, it was being run against the people of his own country. The irony of the CIA rogues losing control of the CIA itself, but gaining control of National Security Advisor was not lost on Shackley. Two days after Christmas in 1979, the operations center at Langley

32:06 was lightly staffed. It was early in the morning when the calls began coming in. The flash reports began with the news of a massive failure communication in Kabul, Afghanistan. Within a few hours, the CIA and the National Security Council had prepared an emergency briefing for Carter and that 5,000 Soviet soldiers had begun an invasion of Afghanistan. British sources confirmed the reports. Now, let me just say, I'm going to finish their version of the story, but

32:36 Let me just tell you that this Soviet soldier invasion into Afghanistan was a false flag. There was a whole sequence of events that the CIA orchestrated in order to make this happen, and the timing is oddly suspicious. This time, President Carter was not taken by surprise. Carter was a strong anti-communist. Isn't everybody?

33:02 and his national security advisor had been pushing for a tough policy against the Soviets. Brzezinski, working with the Saudis and Pakistanis, had authored a plan, which President Carter approved, to lure the Soviet Union into its own Vietnam quagmire. In a 1998 interview, a French journalist was interviewing Brzezinski, who revealed that the public face of shock and chagrin

33:29 of the Carter administration to the invasion in reality was quite the opposite in private. The Soviet invasion was exactly the outcome that they had hoped for. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahideen had begun during the 1980s, that had begun during 1980, that it was said that after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, but in reality, the secretly guarded

34:00 until like probably the late 90s, was that July 3rd, 1979, President Carter had signed a directive for secret aid to the opponents of the cabal regime at the time. And that they basically were trying to destabilize Afghanistan.

34:27 They pretended that they had a pro-communist group there that had been attacked and lured the Soviet Union into this thinking that they were actually protecting fellow communists when in fact they were not. Carter may have signed the directive, but the Safari Club, Islamic fighters,

34:53 had been taunting Moscow into invading for over a year. The effort, again, the Safari Club, guys, the effort included cross-border raids into the Soviet territory. Gosh, isn't that what they did in South Korea into North Korea and then North Korea into China?

35:19 And isn't that what they did in Vietnam and into China and Burma? Yeah, that's what they did every single time. Congressman Charlie Wilson, Ed Wilson's old crony, was the point man in Congress building the positive image of the fierce Islamic fighters called the Mujahideen, which were completely created by the CIA. He portrayed it as a David versus Goliath war.

35:48 The young Osama bin Laden was one of the Mujahideen patrons and fellow funders. He was representing the Saudi intel component inside Afghanistan. Carter's decision was a major victory for Kamal Adom, the chief of Saudi intel, and Prince Turkay. It drew the Saudi Islamic militant focus away from the Saudi family and offloaded it in Afghanistan.

36:18 But as far as the U.S. was concerned, the long-term policy consequences were very short-thripped. Perhaps the most remarkable warning Carter received and ignored came in another document from Brzezinski. In December of 1979, in a memo, Brzezinski told Carter that Iran and Pakistan were in turmoil and that

36:41 Afghanistan was unstable. Nowhere in the memo, however, is there any recognition that the recommended policy would be to strengthen Islamic fundamentalism. Brzezinski focused on fears that success in Afghanistan would give the Soviets a direct line to the Indian Ocean. He also created and focused on fears that overestimated the Soviet Union's capability and their interest in the conflict.

37:11 After urging caution in the memo, Brzezinski said, what is to be done? He said that the aid of Afghan resistance should continue. Quote, this means more money as well as armed shipments to the rebels and some technical advice, unquote. He then focused.

37:30 on a main point, quote, to make the above possible, we must both reassure Pakistan and encourage it to help the rebels. This will require a view of our policy towards Pakistan, more guarantees to it, more arms, more aid, and alas, a decision that our security policy towards Pakistan cannot be dictated on a non-proliferation policy, unquote.

37:56 With that said, the U.S. agreed to let the country, admittedly in turmoil, proceed to develop nuclear weapons. The policy would evolve into a nuclear version of don't ask, don't tell. As our Saudi allies used BCCI to fund the freedom fighters and the nuclear weapons program. And we disclosed in our BCCI series how even including the trigger.

38:25 igniter things were weapons trafficked into Pakistan using the BCCI bank. Brzezinski and the CIA bragged of their efforts in Afghanistan and presidents Reagan and Bush embraced these policies and expanded them when they got into office. By 1991, they had four results. First, victory of a powerful, radical Islamic army hell-bent on destroying all things Western.

38:56 Second, the collapse of the Soviet empire. Third, the creation of a ruling Islamic group in Afghanistan, the Taliban, that was far more radical and anti-Western than anything before it. And fourth, the most significant and damaging, the creation of a pan-Islamic nuclear weapon funded with the help of the Saudi royal family built in Pakistan and paid for by the United States.

39:23 policies would spread nuclear weapon technology throughout the Islamic world at a time when supposedly terrorism was growing. That ends chapter 20. And we're not going to go into 21 until tomorrow because we have a short day today. But you can see how the setting up of Carter

39:54 weirdly enough parallels using some of the same offices and same agencies, what has happened, what did happen to president Trump in his first term. So with that, I'm going to open it up and we're going to go maybe for 20 to 30 minutes and then I'm going to have to run. So, Hey, I sent you some information over in signal just now.

40:29 You want to take a quick peek on it? Sure. Is it relating to this? Is it relating to this? No. Okay. Let's see. All right. Does anybody else have anything about this that they wanted to talk about while I take a peek at that? Sorry, could you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you. Yeah. Colonel, I just wanted to make up a kind of brief OTD on this date.

41:20 note here for history as pertaining to CIA media management. Today is the anniversary of the assassination of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in Chicago. And I just think it's worth noting that from an educational point of view, we have, you know, what's called Black History Month in the United States in U.S. history. And

41:50 It's, you know, it's a big deal everywhere. It's a big deal, especially in U.S. schools. And I think it's worth noting that just two brief observations. Fred Hampton is almost never included in Black History Month. And I think it's worth wondering why. And secondly, I kind of make a big deal of this phrase I use that might be mystifying to some folks, left gatekeeping.

42:20 Some folks might think that that's somehow some esoteric thing that only affects quote-unquote leftists, which basically don't really exist anymore. But I think it's worth noting that the same CIA-connected Chicago intelligence cop that was in charge of the raid that killed Black Panther Fred Hampton and Mark Clark on this date in 1969,

42:49 was also involved in a leader in the jfk chicago plot of november 1st and 2nd 1963 and what especially i think is noteworthy about that is um first of all we know how our our purported left quote unquote never talks about the jfk assassination okay in fact they'll talk about almost anything else

43:17 And again, I think there's if you think about it, there's reasons for that. And secondly, what's even less frequent is our purported leftist will never in a billion years mentioned the little detail I just brought up about Fred Hampton and the continuity there we see between the CIA involvement in the JFK Chicago plot and the Fred Hampton assassination. In other words.

43:44 It's segregation of these historical incidents. You're allowed to talk about Fred Hampton on the controlled left, but you are definitely not allowed to make connections between earlier historical events. And it's almost as like the phrase of our official CIA controlled left is only disconnect.

44:12 i know this is a little bit off topic but i think it's important to go otd on this one but anyway i'll get that uh yeah look forward to listening to more about um this book which is awesome okay thanks um yeah definitely i think it was on monday that we talked um at the pond um with bullish about the significance of um him and um the coalescing of real

44:39 downtrodden people of all colors and his greatest threat was that he was able to not see color he saw class struggle and there the rainbow coalition his um gravitas in speaking for people against the system

45:04 threatened everybody in the system and so yeah thank you for um highlighting that um on the anniversary very apropos okay um anybody else have anything else so um the article or the name that um cousin it had sent me um obviously you guys are going to um pick this out so

45:38 Anybody, and Cousin It, you can't play because you already cheated and got ahead of us. I want anybody that has a mic. As a matter of fact, you guys, if there's anybody down there that normally comes up and speaks, we need to give them a mic. Illini, who else is up there? Susan, Renee, get them all a mic.

46:05 I'm going to start reading here, and I want you guys to tell me what you notice about what I'm about to say. Philip Seth Goldberg is a U.S. ambassador. His background includes ambassadorships in the Philippines, Bolivia, and Colombia.

46:33 was a U.S. mission to Kosovo. He, in his Washington, D.C. State Department role, was the Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research. He was nominated by Joe Biden, and I'm going to get to where he was nominated to in a minute, what his current job is, because that kind of gives it away.

47:03 He was charge de l'affaire at the Chile and Cuban embassies. And by the way, that just means that he was in charge of the CIA station there. And he's originally from Boston University. That's where he got his degree. He, let's see, was also a political economic officer in...

47:34 South Africa. Be interesting to know when. He was assistant to Ambassador Holbrooke, who, for those of you who don't remember, he was intricately involved in the Yugoslavia-Bosnia false flag to break up Yugoslavia. And let's see.

48:01 From 98 to 2000, he served as Executive Assistant Deputy Secretary to Sraub Talbert. And Talbert is the guy that was intimately involved in the Clinton administration and in the setup of President Trump. And in September 2008, he was kicked out of Bolivia for setting up a coup in...

48:33 Let's see. He moved in 2018 to the embassy in Cuba. What else? So would you find it at all strange if I told you all of that information and then said that he is currently the ambassador to South Korea? And what just happened in South Korea?

49:14 Martial law. Martial law. Basically. Yeah, basically. It's the same pattern as what Henry Cabot Lodge did to Diem in Vietnam. Yes. Back in the 60s. Same story. Then he goes off and he becomes an ambassador to the Vatican. Right? So if this guy becomes the ambassador to the Vatican, we're all going to die, right? It's like they have no imagination.

49:43 Although I will say this, they killed him. This guy didn't die. So he's probably not going to get the Vatican. Oh my gosh. Again, you just start reading down these things and you're like, what the hell? I knew you would have fun with that. Oh my gosh. Oh, and by the way, my favorite part would be the part that a lot of people would read right over. I know you guys won't.

50:16 That's his job in the State Department as the intelligence and research. Because what do we know about that office? Anybody? Tell me what we know about that office. That office. Go ahead all along. It's the CIA part of the State Department. Yes. And who had that job when John Foster Dulles and Alan Dulles was state and CIA? Wait, sorry. Could you repeat that question? Who had that job when?

50:54 John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State and Alan Dulles was the CIA director. Guys, was the guy, what's his name, who you and I slightly disagree about? No, this was the Dulles sister. Oh, right. The one who was in West, in good old West Germany, who RFK said, and fire her too. Yes. Yes.

51:24 The sister of John Foster Dulles and Alan Dulles was the Assistant Secretary of State for the Intelligence and Research. So she literally was the liaison between the CIA and the State Department, her two brothers. And that's the job this guy had when he went back to the State Department. He's the liaison from the CIA to the State Department.

51:57 right exactly all right so yes thank you cousin it for entertaining us and again it just comes full circle when um you when you know the pattern to look for right so now we could be the hr department for who's a spy just by looking at their um

52:28 career history we can tell you um oh look they were in such and such a place when that coup happened they were in this oh especially in this guy's case where he's actually kicked out for trying to actually affect the coup um anyway yeah that was entertaining okay so thank you cousinette um anybody else got anything yeah colonel i did hear an interesting case

52:59 this morning as to why these events occurred in South Korea. And I'm pretty sure everybody knows South Korea is an arms dealer. I mean, they sell arms, they produce arms and weapons and munitions and whatnot. And of course, we also get munitions from South Korea. That was the 155 millimeter shells we were supposed to get that were supposed to go to Ukraine, right? Well,

53:32 supposedly the story goes that the reason behind this is not only was it a they they propagated the threat from north korea but what they're trying to do is get arms from south korea into ukraine and of course south korea has laws to say no you can't do that which was roundabout way of going to the u.s to wind up in ukraine so i i don't know how far that one goes

54:06 It certainly piqued my interest. So the allegation is that under martial law, the president would have had sole jurisdiction on the shipping of weapons and that there may have been more weapons to be made available under the martial law because he would have used that to increase production? Exactly. Okay. And that does make sense. That is something that they've done before.

54:33 And just so that you guys understand, in South Korea, one of their major arms manufacturing plants that SR-71 was just talking about is owned by the Unification Church, the same church that owns the Washington Times. Bridget, go ahead. Two months ago that this was going to happen, two months from then, I thought it was very interesting. And they all said, oh, he was just essentially.

55:24 There's some interesting stuff that goes back to the Asian debt crisis, too, that the U.S. has been kind of involved in, especially on monetary policy. In the early 90s, I think we encouraged the South Korean government to allow U.S. dollar-nominated bonds to their industry, rather than going strictly with the Korean bond, which was their original policy.

55:52 back in the early 90s. And a lot of that led in to the Asian debt crisis and Rob Rubin basically walking in there and buying up half the country with Citigroup and a whole bunch of private equity firms, in some cases for cents on the dollar. I think there was a good video about all of this on YouTube about...

56:19 A couple of years ago, specifically, they also referenced Japanese monetary policy, too, and some of these big borrowing programs. But, you know, there's the U.S. involvement in Southeast Asian monetary policies is something probably worth looking at for folks on this board. And Robert Rubin, I mean, he was the guy behind.

56:46 rand leach wiley and the repeal of glass seagull in the united states which allowed investment banks and commercial banks to merge and for the investment bankers to kind of get you know control over um you know right you know fdic insured deposits um in the late 90s there could be sort of an interesting broader theme going on there so what you already pointed out a very broad theme and all um

57:15 Talk about that. So can you find the YouTube if it's not too much trouble and post it either, if not time now, maybe later and just tag me in it. But I do. Thank you. But I do want to say this about what you just said. You just described without.

57:36 a coup necessarily, although we've couped South Korea. I went through the entire litany a couple of shows ago repeatedly. But the buying up of... So we create a debt crisis by manipulation of all kinds of different things. That's a strong statement, but there's a good argument that Robert Rubin did this. Okay. And so then...

58:04 And this is kind of the non-kinetic version of a coup, right? So you can, like the whole economic hitman theory, you can, and I believe they do this initially to be able to buy up pennies on the dollar, what you just described, but it is, if they can't affect all that they want to do it, then they go kinetic. So you just described the non-kinetic coup slash.

58:33 stealing everybody's resources, pennies on the dollar, create instability, blah, blah, blah. You just described the non-kinetic version of Operation Gladio where we focus on the kinetic version of it. But I'm not at all surprised what you just said. And I'm not at all surprised that it's Citigroup because Citigroup is behind a lot of it. Yeah, I mean, yeah, Ruben, I think was, I think he became the CEO of Citigroup after he left.

59:02 And then before then, from the 80s, I think up to the 70s to the early 90s, it was headed up by a guy by the name of Walt Riston. A lot of bankers love him. But I think looking back, I mean, Robert Rubin had, like, if you look at things during the 90s, nobody would really say it.

59:26 But if you look at things, you know, over the past 10 years and people looked at Robert Rubin again. Right. Look at what he did and say, this guy's corrupt. See? I mean, what he did under Bill Clinton, ending Glass-Steagall. I mean, there's a, there's a, there's, you know, a crimson thread. Right. From that move in 1999 to the mortgage crisis in 2008. Yes. And a great financial crisis. Yes. And how he was allowed to basically, you know,

59:56 be contagious you know and basically went from a problem for investment banks that yeah i might have taken under a firm like lehman brothers and basically came to threatening citigroup and basically allowed them to you know come up with the current um zero interest rate policy regime that right today yes

1:00:19 And I just am amazed at the amount of time Citigroup comes up. Because Citigroup is where the Filipino gold ended up. That they tracked back the Roxas guy's gold. And his daughter goes to collect. She didn't want all of it. She wanted a part of it.

1:00:50 offshore account in the bahamas um so i city city group comes up many times and i think it's funny when you said other bankers um uh like him that's not a real strong endorsement you know that right

1:01:18 No, no, I love I love everything that you you have added so much context, especially all of your Nixon stuff, your involvement in your research that you've done in Chile. I don't have to collectively agree with everything. It's like me and Warhamster with his reformed Wall Street banker hat on. I love.

1:01:42 The fact that you guys have that expertise and the knowledge because it just makes so much. Because again, I have a master's degree in business. I understand finance. I know all about that stuff. I'm not an expert in it. And you guys are. I'm an expert in the military side of this. And what you guys add to the conversation is amazing as far as I'm concerned.

1:02:06 Look, what I'll say, Colonel, is that there's nothing like the ability to buy something where you know the value of it at a distressed sale. And, you know, like middle class guys like me, you know, if we can do it, honestly, that's great. If what Rubin did was he triggered a financial crisis. Yes. City groups, clients at the private equity firms that come in.

1:02:33 and buy up these companies cheap at forced sale prices, that kind of adds kind of a new wrinkle to things. But that's what they did everywhere, Illini. That's the whole purpose of this. George Soros was tipped off. I am 100% convinced at this point George Soros was the currency trader for the syndicate. He was tipped off.

1:02:58 on every coup, every inside job, and they trade. The whole armitage with Safra, the banker, the guy they burned up later, and them going in and doing basically what you were just alluding to in the former Soviet Union and buying off pennies on the dollar after that broke up.

1:03:22 This this is a pattern. They did it in Brazil. They went in and bought up all of the utility that they privatized and all of that. That's the whole purpose of Gladio. So, yeah, I don't have it firsthand. I might have it third hand. It does seem like Soros gets, you know, more information than he should from the federal government. He is their currency trader. I'm convinced of it.

1:03:54 I mean, I think there's a good case for that. Carrie, go ahead. I just came to the realization that with all their massive corruption, they're doing a really shitty job of taking over the world. Like, they're idiots. Do you think that? Where are you on that? I mean, they should have, if they could corrupt all systems, all structures.

1:04:29 What the hell? Like, shouldn't they be done by now with their one world government? Yeah, I mean, I understand your point. And it's the same analogy that I use on Cuba. So we're supposed to buy the line that let's just take the CIA and let's just say their job, they're a hit squad.

1:05:00 Let's drop the fake intelligence name. They were never an intelligence agency. They are a hit squad. So if you're a hit squad and you've taken down over 80 heads of state, right? Some of them you assassinated. Some of them you boiled in acid. Some of them you just shot dead in their palace. Some of them you kidnapped and tortured, like in the case of Italy, blah, blah, blah. Some of them you blew up.

1:05:28 like the UN ambassador, in an airplane, all right? So they have effectively terminated a whole bunch of heads of state. Now, in the same breath that someone is telling you that, they're going to turn around and tell you that there were over 400 attempts on Castro's life, none of which worked. Does anybody believe that? Does anybody believe that they tried to take out Castro?

1:05:57 over 400 times and failed if they honestly were trying to take out Castro. It's almost beyond fathomable that a group of trained assassins that can deploy anywhere on a moment's notice to include taking out JFK and cooing Nixon and blah, blah, blah, that we are supposed to believe.

1:06:27 on the same team that they can't take out a third-rate dictator on an island 90 miles from here. I'm sorry. I have now grown to the level that I find that absurd. So when you consider that they're the...

1:06:54 the one world government. I do believe that their agenda was to install all of these dictators around the world, but there became a time and it started around the 1990s where some people figured out what was going on and said, yeah, we're not going to do that.

1:07:20 And that there has been this underground initiative to expose and counteract many of the operations that this international syndicate had put in place. And if you go back and you look around the 1990 timeframe, you can kind of see the shaping of the 2000s.

1:07:49 there does seem to have been a counter movement occurring that none of us was aware of even because of course we didn't know the one world government was a thing um so it definitely happened there's definitely been a counter movement to it um but i think at this point especially after trump got in office um that

1:08:16 put us on a downhill slide to overthrowing their efforts. And that's why I think that once we're going to hit the bottom of knocking them off their perch when he takes office again, it's going to be a slow climb out of the dive of the airplane.

1:08:40 Because right before impact, you pull back and you start cruising up. And that's not to say that that road is not going to be a difficult road. But we will be gaining altitude at a far greater pace with a lot more effort behind it with all of us working together. And we will all be on the same sheet of music. So I think that's all good.

1:09:08 Bridget, and then all along, and then I got to run. The United Healthcare CEO? Was that a CIA hit? The what? The United Healthcare CEO? You know, that's a very interesting thing. I wrote that down this morning. I have not had, because I literally had two doctor's appointments, and then I came home and got on the phone.

1:09:39 blah blah blah i have and got on the show with um breaking history i've not had a chance to look into that i don't know bridget okay i'll send you some stuff okay you were setting me up all right all along go ahead um yeah just quickly on bridget's uh question uh my understanding and again like everyone else i know almost very i know very little about that but it's the person who was um murdered

1:10:09 was getting ready to speak to an industry-wide conference right before the hit. And that may or may not be significant in terms of, you know, cartelling, control of cartel narrative and whatnot. I just wanted to make a couple of other points or one point one question. Regarding your point about the absurdity of...

1:10:35 you know the attempts on castro and how they didn't seem to work you know it has been um suggested by some folks who i mean i'm not saying i agree with this but i these are some pretty knowledgeable folks that i've read who are argue you know that possibly um look castro may have been serving a kind of function for the cia in the following sense look

1:11:03 Their real concern was basically South America, you know, Nelson Rockefeller's Long Island, if you will. And they kind of need for an extension of the, you know, commie bad guys emanating from Russia. Right. They need a bad guy kind of in the neighborhood, in the region. And wouldn't it be convenient if they had this Fidel Castro guy who.

1:11:28 look in nicaragua they could say castro is exporting and castro's exporting this to bolivia whatnot whatnot so kind of a utility and usefulness of a kind of official foe yeah i've said that repeatedly yeah i've seen said that repeatedly yeah yeah in a way it's kind of like uh yeah it's it's in a way similar to the domino effect which we know that the cia did not believe themselves correct as it was 1954 but they use it

1:11:58 The other point I wanted to make was more of a question. You and Alina were mentioning the stuff about Golden Lily. And you may remember the historian who wrote the very widely publicized book, The Rape of Nanking. And I think it was around 2003. It got massive, massive publicity. Right.

1:12:26 Of course, there's going to be some tripwires there because you're talking about the gold taken from China by Fascist Japan and the CIA ties there. Well, I'm far from right enough to really be suggesting this, but I think it bears further looking into. One observer has suggested that Iris Chang's death was a murder because she had stumbled on some aspects of Golden Lily.

1:12:56 pertaining directly to the bush family and at the time of her death check me up i could be slightly mistaken on this but she was in kentucky and in bush saudi horse country if you will um and there she seemed to be have been investigating some aspects of the golden lily uh linkage that in some ways continue from her earlier investigation of you know what happened to the chinese gold that the

1:13:26 japan took and cia garnered at the time of her death so that might be worth further looking into the the death of iris ching yeah so i've read just a little bit about that and i definitely think there's linkage um but yeah i'll add that to my list um there's definitely something there i agree with you 100 um because it does dovetail into excuse me golden lily

1:13:55 And of course it was Warhamster in one of our very first meetings, literally after our first, very first podcast, we kind of challenged each other into looking into, he gave me a topic and I gave him a topic. He's never done anything with this topic. I'm just going to go ahead and put that out there. I, on the other hand, took the Golden Lily thing. And of course we did an entire book series on it.

1:14:23 We found out, of course, that it dovetails right into Operation Gladio in a big way. So, yeah, I'll go back. I do remember looking at that as part of the series that we were doing. I don't remember how I got to her. I remember getting to her. Go ahead. I think she's actually part of the Follow the Money and the Signal. Okay. It rings a bell to me, too. Yeah.

1:14:53 So I think, I think you'll find her in there. All right. So anyway, thank you guys for being here. We will be back tomorrow at four and more exciting things. I just wanted to go over tomorrow. We will not be doing war hamster. That's been moved to Friday at noon for those who came in late. And I have signed up.

1:15:21 Let me find my list. What'd I do with it? I have signed up Isabella, who was formerly known as Red Pill Babe and Bella Liberté to do two shows. The first show is going to be on the 13th of December at our four o'clock timeframe on Friday, the 13th. So apropos, and we will.

1:15:45 do a second show the following friday at our four o'clock show and i want to make sure everybody understands we will be broadcasting two spaces but we will be live on rumble so the rumble chat will be the only thing that i have access to we're just going to feed over two spaces

1:16:06 And just so that you guys know it, you'll be able to see it here at four o'clock. I'm just not going to be here interacting with you. So we won't have the opportunity like we normally do for questions in the aftermath of the show. But you can go over to Rumble and send in the live chat any questions that you guys have.

1:16:27 The following Monday, we will reserve a little bit of time to go over anything that you guys want to add because just as you did today, you guys always have an amazing background of information to add to.

1:16:42 any topic that we talk about because of the varying research and background that you guys all bring to the table. And I love the fact that we do this together. So on the two following Mondays, we will carve out a little bit of time just to go over what she brings up because I can guarantee you guys, I feel like I'm an old hat at this, but there were two aspects that she brought up. That's going to blow your mind as part.

1:17:12 of the application of Operation Gladio and what she has herself experienced in Miami surrounded by probably the largest CIA operation in the entire world in the Miami area just because of their background. I don't know what you said. Whoever just sent that to me.

1:17:43 Go ahead and say it. I don't know what that was. What's Hugh Turner? Hugo Turner. What? Oh. So that's not to me. Okay. All right. So.

1:18:16 Again, thanks for being here. You see, I'm a confirmed guest for Friday. Yes, that's what I was going to say. Yes. I was just scrolling back through and I'm like, wait, wait. Yeah, that's right. Hugo Turner has agreed to come on to our spaces on Friday. On our spaces this Friday. This Friday. Okay. Side note. Okay. All right. So.

1:18:49 um hugo turner on this friday but he's going to be on spaces we're just going to also broadcast over to rumble and i'm sorry for the confusion guys i just want to make sure you guys know so that you don't come to spaces and go hey why won't she give us mics or whatever um

1:19:08 because you can't really, I don't know how to do that. I would love to know how to do that. I don't know how to do that when we're actually doing, because in order to share a screen, I have to have, I have to do that in Rumble so that there's actually a live stream part of it. So when you guys have exposed this enough and we have a staff.

1:19:34 And we can actually have technicians that know how to do all of that crap. Yeah. We'll be able to. Yeah. We'll be able to. Yeah. We're going to put cousin in charge of that. She can hire the technicians. But anyway, y'all are stuck with me figuring out how to do all this crap by the seat of my pants. So anyway, thank you very much for being here. We will be back tomorrow at four o'clock and we will be back on Friday at four o'clock and.

1:20:03 at um uh noon with war hamster doing secret societies and tonight we will continue our world anti-communist league at 9 30 with alpha as far as i know so no soy cables doesn't it all right the damn parts all right guys take it easy all right we're gonna get some clothes on
