0:00 Okay, if you guys wouldn't mind sharing out the space real quick so we can get some more people in. Cousinet, I threw you the co-host. I don't know if you saw it. All right. So I want to start this with, oh my gosh, so many things going on.

0:52 article, an article that I found that, and if I thought the names in Italy and in Europe and in South America were hard, some of these African names are very, very interesting as far as the spelling goes. So I'm just going to do my best. I will spell them.

1:23 and pronounce them the way I think it's. Because even on the translator thing that you can get to pronounce it, I've noticed that most of the voices that they have translating them are Oriental, like Chinese. And so a Chinese person telling me how to pronounce an African name doesn't help me at all. So I'm kind of just winging it.

1:50 And I apologize up front for any butchering of the names that I do. But we're going to spend the next couple of days in a few of the African countries. We've done a few already. And then, like I said, on Friday, we're going to have a roundtable with some interesting people with some unique perspectives.

2:20 Um, and we're going to, they've graciously agreed to come, um, talk with us. And so some of them have a tight schedule. So, um, we're going to let them go first, um, as far as, um, kind of doing a 10 minute, uh, here's what they think is going on type of thing.

2:45 So hopefully you guys will enjoy that. Please share out that space. We have it scheduled already so we can get as many people in to hear what these guys have to say. It's kind of a very interesting collection of people that we're bringing to you guys. So hopefully you enjoy that. All right. So I'm going to start first with a University of Texas.

3:13 university kind of article that appeared in one of their papers. And basically it talks about a declassified National Security Council and CIA documents that had, hold on. Okay. So NSC and CIA documents that were

3:52 declassified and used as evidence in the U.S. involvement in the 1966 overthrow of the, where did she go? Cousin Ip fell out and I was trying to get her back in as a co-host. I don't know where she went. Okay, so I didn't block you. Hold on. Holy crap.

4:39 Let me find her. I apologize, guys. Oh, I didn't block you. I don't know what she's talking about. Let's see. All right. It put her in the block column, but I didn't do that. Let's see. How do I get rid of that now? All right. So where did she go? There's Bridget, co-host. All right, Bridget, you need to take care of Cousin It.

5:48 For some reason, it blocked her and I just unblocked her. And there she is. All right. She's back. She's back. I didn't do that. I don't know how it got done. I did not do that. All I hit was co-host. All right. So I'm going to start over for the third time. All right. Declassified National Security Council and CIA documents.

6:18 provide compelling new evidence of the U.S. government in the 1966 overthrow of the Ghana president Kwame Nkrumah. And I'm going to spell this for you guys. K-W-A-M-E. And his last name is N-K-R-U-M-A-H. The coup d'etat organized by army officers in conjunction with the CIA.

6:50 basically toppled Croma's government on February 24, 1966, and was promptly held by Western governments, including the U.S. Documents appear in a collection of diplomatic and intelligence memos, telegrams, and reports on Africa and foreign relations of the United States. The government...

7:17 and its ongoing official history of American foreign policy. This was prepared by the State Department's Office of Historian. The latest volumes reflect the overt diplomacy and covert actions of LBJ's administration from 1964 to 1968. Though published in November 1999, what they reveal about the U.S. complicity in the Ghana coup

7:46 was only recently revealed. Allegations of American involvement in the coup arose almost immediately because of the well-known hostility of the U.S. to Kruma's socialist orientation or

8:05 pan-African activism. So in other words, it really had nothing to do with socialism, communism, or anything else. It had to do with them protecting their resources and believing in a pan-African union, which we know, of course, caused the coup for many of his peers as well during the same time frame. Croma himself implicated the U.S. in his overthrow and warned other African nations.

8:34 about what he saw emerging. Quote, an all-out offensive is being waged against the progressive independent states of Africa. He wrote in his 1969 account of the Ghana coup, quote, all that has been needed was a small force of disciplined men to seize the key points of a capital city and to arrest the existing political leadership, unquote.

9:05 It has been one of the tasks of the CIA and other similar organizations to discover who the potential traitors are in the midst of the current government and to encourage them by bribes and political power to destroy the constitutional governments of the African countries. While charges of U.S. involvement are not new, support for them

9:30 was lacking until 1978 when anecdotal evidence was provided from an unlikely source, a former CIA case officer, John Stockwell, who reported firsthand testimony in his memoirs in search of enemies, a CIA story. The inside story came to me, Stockwell wrote, from an egotistical friend who had been the station chief in Ghana at the time.

9:58 Stockwell was stationed one country away in Ivory Coast. Subsequent investigations by the New York Times and Covert Action Information Bulletin identified the station chief as Howard Baines, B-A-N-E-S, who operated undercover as a political officer in the U.S. Embassy. And that's where you always find them posing as diplomats. This is how the ouster

10:26 was handled as Stockdale related. The Ghana station was encouraged by headquarters to maintain contact with dissidents in the Ghanaian army for the purpose of gathering intelligence on their activities. It was given a generous budget and maintained intimate contact with plotters of the coup. So, so close.

10:53 was the station's involvement that it was able to coordinate the recovery of some classified Soviet military equipment by the U.S. as the coup took place. According to Stocksdale, Bain's sense of initiative knew no bounds. The station even postponed or proposed to its headquarters through back channels that a squad be put on hand at the moment of the coup to storm the Chinese embassy.

11:22 kill everyone inside, steal all of their secrets, and blow up the building to cover up the fact that they had done it. Though the proposal was squashed inside the CIA headquarters in Ghana, they were given full, if not unofficial, credit for the eventual coup, in which eight Soviet advisors were killed. None of this was adequately reflected in agency records, Stockwell wrote.

11:53 While the newly released documents written by the National Security Council staffer and an unnamed CIA officer confirmed the essential outlines set forth in what Stockdale said, they also provided additional and chilling details about the U.S. government, what they knew about the plot, when and what was being prepared. On March 11, 1965, almost a year before the coup, William Mahoney,

12:23 the U.S. ambassador in Ghana, participated in a candid discussion in Washington with CIA Director John McCone and the Deputy Chief of the CIA Africa Division, whose name has been withheld. Significantly, the African Division was part of the CIA's Directorate of Plans, or Dirty Tricks Squad. According to the record of their meeting,

12:53 Topic one was the coup in Ghana. While Mahoney was satisfied that popular opinion was running strong against Kruma and the economy of the country was in a precarious state because of, you know, they do economic espionage against them as well. He was not convinced the coup now being planned by the acting police commissioner, Harley, and Generals Atu and...

13:24 ANCA, was necessarily needed to take place. Nonetheless, he confidently and accurately, as it turned out, predicted that one way or the other, CRUMA would be out in less than a year. Revealing the depth of the embassy's knowledge of the plot, Mahoney referred to a recent report which mentioned that the top coup conspirators were scheduled to meet on 10 March, at which time they would determine the timing of the coup. However,

13:54 He warned because of a tendency to procrastinate, any specific date that they should accept, any specific date they should set would be, there would be reservations about the particular date. In a reversal of what some assume to be the traditional roles of the ambassador and the CIA director McComb, Mahoney asked who was going to replace Crumba.

14:26 Mahoney again correctly forecast the future. Ambassador Mahoney stated that initially, at least, it would be a military takeover. But Mahoney was not a prophet. However, he represented the commitment of the U.S. government in coordination with other Western governments. First, Mahoney recommended denying Ghana a forthcoming aid request in the interest of further weakening the government.

14:52 He felt that there was little chance that either the Chinese communists or the Soviets would, in adequate measure, come to his financial rescue. The British would continue to adopt a hard-nosed attitude in denying Ghana aid. At the same time, it appears that Mahoney encouraged Krumah in the mistaken belief that both the U.S. and U.K. would come to his rescue.

15:18 Second, Mahoney seems to have assumed the responsibility of increasing the pressure on Kruma and exploiting the probable results. This can be seen in his 50-minute meeting with Kruma three weeks later. According to Mahoney's account of that meeting, at one point, Kruma, who had been holding face and hands, looked up and I saw he was crying. With difficulty, he said, I could not understand the ordeal.

15:46 He had been through in the last month, recalling that there had been seven attempts on his life, no doubt by the CIA. Mahoney did not attempt to discourage Kruma's fears, nor did he characterize them as unfounded. While Kruma apparently continues to have personal affections for me, he noted, the ambassador, he seems as convinced as ever that the U.S. is out to get him. From what he said about the assassination attempts in March,

16:15 He still suspects the U.S., and so would everybody else. Of course, the U.S. was out to get him. Moreover, Kruma was keenly aware of a recent African precedence that made the notion of the U.S.-organized sanctioned assassination plot, namely the Congo and its first prime minister, Patrice Lumamba. Kruma believed that the destabilization of the Congolese government in 1960 and Lumamba's

16:45 Lumumba's assassination in 61 was the work of the U.S. government. And he wasn't wrong. When Lumumba's murder was announced, Kruma told students at the inauguration of an institute that bore his name that the brutal murder should teach them the diabolical depths of degradation to which the twin monsters of imperialism and colonialism can descend.

17:14 And he's absolutely right. In his conclusion, Mahoney observed, quote, Kruma gave me the impression of being a badly frightened man. His emotional resources seem to be running out. As pressures increase, we may expect more hysterical outbursts as directed against the U.S., unquote. What an evil bastard. They are trying to murder this man and he's crying in front of him in this cold hearted.

17:43 satanic asshole is watching him fall apart. That's cold-hearted shit. It was not necessary to add that he was helping to apply the pressure as these hysterical outbursts were noted. So then they started calling him an unstable dictator to justify his removal. You see how that works? You never

18:15 ever let them see a tear. You never, ever let them see you sweat. These people are evil. On May 27, 1965, Robert Comer, K-O-M-E-R, a national security staffer, briefed his boss, George Bundy, President Johnson's Special Assistant for National Affairs, on the anti-Kroma campaign. Comer

18:46 who first joined the White House as a member of President Kennedy's NSC staff, had worked as a CIA analyst for 15 years, which means he's still a CIA asset. In 1967, Johnson tapped him to win the hearts and minds of Vietnam. Yeah, that didn't work out very well. Cromer's report establishes that the effort was not only...

19:13 interagency sanctioned by the White House and supervised by the State Department CIA, but also intergovernmental, meaning that they were using other NATO countries to orchestrate the coup. FYI, he advised, we may have a pro-Western coup in Ghana soon. Certain key military and police figures have been planning one for some time. As Ghana's deteriorating

19:41 economic conditions may provide the spark because that's the entire intent. Every single one of these coups has been preceded by economic blackmail. They go hand in hand. The plotters are keeping us brief, he noted, and that the State Department thinks we're more on the inside than the Brits. While we're not directly involved, I'm told, we and the other Western

20:11 countries, including France, have been helping to set up the situation by ignoring Kruma's pleas for economic aid. Comer's reference to not being told if the U.S. was directly involved in the coup is revealing, and quite likely, a nod to his CIA past. While he knows they were intimately involved, he's just not going to put it in writing because he knows better.

20:36 Among the most deeply ingrained aspects of intelligence tradecraft and culture is plausible deniability, the habit of mind and practice designed to insulate the U.S., particularly the president, while they're doing covert operations. Comer would have known that orders like overthrowing a government would have communicated in a deliberately vague, opaque, elusive, and indirect fashion.

21:06 It would be unreasonable to argue that the U.S. was not directly involved in the creation and increasing hostile conditions that favored a coup. You just weren't allowed to say it out loud. As it turned out, the coup did not occur for another nine months. After it did, Comer, now acting special assistant for national security affairs, wrote a congratulatory assessment to the president in 1966.

21:34 His assessment that Kruma and his successors was telling, quote, the coup in Ghana is another example of fortuitous windfall. Kruma was doing more to undermine our interests than any other black African. And in a reaction to his strongly pro-communist leanings, bullshit,

22:01 The new military regime is also pathetically pro-Western, unquote. In this, Comer and Cruma were in agreement. Where the more subtle methods of economic pressure and political subversion had failed to achieve the desired result, Cruma wrote from exile in Guinea three years later, quote,

22:25 There has been resort to violence in order to promote a change of regime and prepare the way for the establishment of a puppet government, unquote. That is exactly right. And so let me take this and I'm going to move this over so I can give it to Bridget to post. And then.

22:58 I'm going to come back. Colonel, Bridget is driving. Do you want to pass it on over to me? Oh, I thought she was home. No, ma'am. Okay. Well, I put it in the joint thing, so it came to you, too. Okay, cool. Thank you. So then we moved to Business Insider, and Business Insider had an interesting

23:35 bit of information, which kind of went in a completely different, and I'm going to have to come back to this. But when I started looking for the CIA support, I came across another huge weapon stash in Texas, outside of San Antonio. And it's at a place that I thought.

24:05 Well, I didn't think. I know they were doing weapon stashes in South Texas where they were teaching people, we've talked about it before, how to blow up things as part of the schools of America. They were shipping them into an abandoned military base, but that was down by the Brownsville. And so I was looking for CIA support in the United States to Africa and the coups there, and I ran across a completely new one.

24:33 This one's called Camp Stanley and it's northwest of San Antonio, which I'm just blown away. So I'm going to come back to that one. I get to dig a little bit more on that one. But let's see, there was one other argument or let's see, one other article that I wanted to bring to you guys. Hold on just one second.

25:06 While I pull that up. OK, here it is. So this is a BBC article. And not only did it talk about during the same time frame, the Patrice Lumumba coup in 1961, but it mentions the overthrow of Kruma in Ghana. And I'll just read real quick what it said. Ghana's first president, Kruma.

25:41 was overthrown in a military coup in 1966 while he was out of the country. He later suspected that the U.S. had a role in his downfall, and in the 1978 book, former CIA officer John Stockwell backed that up. In Search of Enemies, he writes that an official sanction of the coup does not appear in CIA documents, but he writes that the Capitol

26:08 CIA station, was nonetheless encouraged by headquarters to maintain contact with all the dissidents. It was given a generous budget to help patch the plot. He says that the CIA in Ghana got more involved and its operatives were given unofficial credit for the eventual coup. A declassified U.S. document shows awareness of the coup to overthrow the government. Another declassified document written after the coup describes

26:36 fall to be a pituitous windfall because Kruma was doing more to undermine our interests than any other black African. So let me also, hold on just a second. I want to go back to the name of the station chief. So here's the ambassador. And if I look at, remember, I always tell you guys, look up.

27:06 the ambassador. So if I look up the ambassador, William Mahoney, what's interesting about this particular one is you find out almost nothing about who this guy is by his official Wikipedia thing. But if you start digging into him, he's part of the

27:35 I'm going to say informal mafia of the Arizona mafia. His dad was all in the Democrat Party in Arizona. He's originally from Ireland, and he was part of the whole mining. And it's interesting that we find Freeport moved to Arizona.

28:05 Freeport is the mine that was the copper mine owner of the Allende government when they overthrew that government. And so they had subsequently moved. They were in New Orleans, but then moved their headquarters out to Arizona as well. So his roots go back to a very politically active.

28:35 uh, mafia-ist kind of environment in, um, evidently there was some confusion, um, with, uh, not confusion, what's the word? Um, suggestions of illegality because he was the, uh, one of the mine inspectors of who he approved for mining and who he didn't. Um, so little shady, but not as shady as most of them.

29:05 He definitely has. And weirdly enough, that was his only ambassadorship. So he wasn't like a lifelong State Department guy. Very unusual for what we have found in other areas of Operation Gladio to use somebody that appears to be very much an outsider from that perspective. So I want to go through briefly what.

29:32 William Bloom in his book, Killing Hope, has to say about Ghana as well. Some of this will be a little bit of a duplicate, but I definitely wanted to cover this. So in October of 1965, Kruma, the president of Ghana, published his famous Neocolonialism, the last stage of imperialism, dedicated to the freedom fighters of Africa living and dead.

29:58 In this book, Pruma accuses the CIA of being behind numerous setbacks and crises in Africa as well as Eastern Europe. He later wrote that the American government sent me a note of protest and promptly refused Ghana $35 million in aid. Four months later, he had been overthrown by a CIA-backed coup. To be sure, the coup makers, members of the army, and police had their own motivations.

30:26 They were fearful of having their power stripped from them by an actual democratic government. And he had been building up a separate army. And they had intent on making sure that their professional statuses under the previous colonial powers did not go away. And this is the stuff that the CIA then uses to further their takeover.

30:53 They go in and that's what you guys probably saw those posts I made this morning. San Diego college professor goes around the country and the world talking about how all of these countries and the civil unrest and the racism and all this other crap is causing all of these civil wars.

31:18 knowing damn good and well, it's the CIA, and she's a mouthpiece for him, by the way, she actually is associated with the CIA, that is behind exacerbating all of the very things she then turns around and writes and holds against these people. And she basically tarred the African continent, just as Eric Prince did, with the same racist brush. Oh, well, you know, they're too stupid to be able to manage themselves.

31:46 So we have to help them. We have to do all this stuff. Well, maybe if you didn't cut off all their aid, blockade their ports, mine their harbors, they might have the ability and steal all of their resources to manage their own shit. So, sorry, that just drives me nuts that they do that. They create the crisis and then use the crisis they created to try to, quote unquote, solve the crisis by taking over the country.

32:14 So, Kruma was a man who, as a student in the United States during the Great Depression, had roamed around Harlem, slept in the subway, and lined up at Father Divine's soup kitchen. Later, he was hailed as Africa's brightest star, a leader in the call for an anti-imperialist pan-African organization and an international movement of nations not aligned to the old Cold War.

32:43 But from all accounts, Kruma engaged in some interesting aspects of leadership and spoke out boldly against neocolonialism.

33:00 unable, ultimately, to keep Ghana from falling under the way of the multinationalist corporations. When he attempted to lessen his country's dependence on the West by strengthening economic and military ties with other countries, to include East Germany, he was effectively overruled. The United States wanted him out. Great Britain, the former colonial power in Ghana, when it was known as the Gold Coast, wanted him out.

33:29 France and West Germany wanted him out. Those Ghana, Ghana Indians who carried out the coup suffered from no doubt that a move against him would be embraced by the Western powers. At the time of the coup, the Soviet pressed charges.

33:49 that the CIA had been involved. And in 1972, the Daily Telegraph, a conservative London paper, reported that by 1965, the capital, CIA station, had two scores of active operatives, meaning at least 24, contributing to largest among President Kruba's secret adversaries.

34:19 The two scores. That's wrong. Never mind. Don't do math in public. It's a rule. By February 1966, the report continued. The CIA had its plans ready to end Kruma's regime. The patient and insidious work of the CIA station was fully rewarded. It wasn't until 1978, however, that this...

34:48 Story broke in the United States. Former CIA John Stockwell, blah, blah, blah, wrote a book. Stockwell disclosed that the CIA station had given a generous budget and maintained intimate contact with all of the planners. The CIA station had also proposed to Headquarters Washington a small squad of paramilitary experts. Gladio, members of the agency of the Special Operations Group, be on hand.

35:17 At the moment of the coup, with their faces blackened, storm the Chinese embassy and kill everybody inside. This proposal was squashed, but inside the CIA headquarters, the CIA station in Ghana was given full credit for the eventual coup, which killed eight Soviet advisors. Other intel sources who were in Ghana at the time of the coup had taken issue with Stockdale's view of the CIA.

35:49 but they considered the CIA's role to have been pivotal in the overthrow of the government. When he was successful, one of the New York Times sources said of Bain, who was the CIA agent in charge, Howard T. Bain, everyone in the African division knew it. If it had failed, he would have been transferred. No CIA involvement would have been revealed.

36:15 nevertheless was enraged by the CIA's high-level decision not to permit the raid on the Chinese embassy. At the time, the Peking government owned only embassy in Africa. They didn't have the guts to do it, he later said. After the coup, the CIA made a payment of at least $100,000 to the new Ghanaian regime for the confiscated Soviet material.

36:42 one item of which was a cigarette lighter that also functioned as a camera. The Ghanian leaders soon expelled large numbers of Russians as well as Chinese. Virtually all state-owned industries were allowed to pass into private hands, hint, hint, international syndicate, buying up of all of their resources. In short order, the channels of aid

37:11 previously clogged, was wide open. That's UNME's dollars and wealth going to fund the international takeover of another country. Projects flowed in from the United States, the European power, and the IMF. All our money. Washington, for example, three weeks after the coup, provided substantial emergency food assistance that they had cut off from the former president.

37:42 The CIA's reluctance to approve the action at the Chinese embassy may have stemmed from the fact that the National Security Council had specifically refused to authorize the agency's involvement in the coup at all. This was, as we had seen, not the first instance of the CIA taking foreign policy into its own hands.

38:06 calls for the putting of little into writing as feasible or keeping records out of official files. That makes freedom of information request non-existent. According to John Barron of the Reader's Digest resident KGB expert, Kruma was overthrown by only native insurgents, the only foreigners in the picture.

38:32 had been 11 KGB officers who were found in Kuma's headquarters and summerly executed, which is all bullshit. The Soviet Union didn't say a word about this. He wrote because they didn't want the world to know that KGB officers were actually sitting in the Ghanim president's office running the country. Barron offers no evidence at all to support any of this.

38:58 He goes on to write, and this is what cracks me up, you know, because who didn't all sit around and read Reader's Digest at one point, right? It was a big CIA op too. The files revealed, he said, that the KGB had converted Ghana into a vast base of subversion, which the Soviet Union really intended to use to capture the continent of Africa.

39:24 For these reasons, best known to himself, perhaps Barron fails to offer a single quote or piece of evidence that any of that is true. So that's kind of the information that I have compiled. Obviously, it fits into the patterns that we have talked about.

39:54 But I did want to look up real quick Howard T. Baines. I did not get a chance to do that because I was on the other show for three hours. And basically, oh, this is interesting. OK, so he is he was at the Hague.

40:18 in the Netherlands during the 1974 hostage crisis involving Japanese tourists taking the French ambassador, excuse me, Japanese terrorists taking the French ambassador hostage. He also was involved in signal intelligence. He seems to have spent a lot of time in

40:44 um france and um the netherlands interesting uh given its close proximity to um nato headquarters um let's see there's not a lot oh gosh okay well never mind he started his career in the army running an operation to recover downed airmen in the korean war he transferred to the cia and worked

41:15 in the CIA Tibetan program. And what do we know about the CIA Tibetan program? Well, they established a bunch of Operation Gladio terrorist training camps to attack China from there. That's what we know. Let's see. Oh, and he was given an award, the Intelligence Star, which is like one of the highest honors at the CIA for his participation in the pro-Western Ghana coup.

41:48 So, oh, and he was involved in Operation Eagle Claw, which was the Iranian hostage crisis. And let's see. He was brought out of retirement for the 9-11 attack because, of course, he was. He also spent time in the 50s.

42:12 Oh, in Bangkok with Paul Helliwell and setting up the entire drug trafficking out of Thailand. See, it just all makes sense when you start looking at this and know the timeline of how these guys operate. So anyway, at least he fits. Interesting that they paired him with kind of a know-nothing.

42:41 ambassador, but maybe that's the reason why they did that. So anyway, that's what I got. We're going to open it up. Can you add me as a co-host, ma'am? Sure. All right. There you go. So I'll put his, the link to Bain over in the messages as well. So we can post that. I put the Washington Times article in there as well.

43:21 They actually do call him a spy master. Cool. So there you go. Again, I just, it's mind boggling. There's so many of them. There's so many of them. And I think because now we're like 30 into them, at least of ones that we've kind of really dug into.

43:47 and understand the names involved and some of the circumstances involved. What becomes mind-numbing to me is that every one of these people dies. Not only did they die in the unrest that they generate leading into the coup, but after the coup, they install a vicious fascist dictator.

44:17 on the take from Western powers. They sell out all of the countries, companies. They sell out all of the resources. People die having lost jobs. They lose their entire culture because of hungry, greedy people that are recruited by the CIA in order to instigate terror and control. And then, as if all of that wasn't enough,

44:47 The murdering of people, innocent civilians, the generating of refugees, the unleashing of terror when it's tribe against tribe, which is how they, in many of the cases in Africa, generated the civil war to begin with that led to the coup. Then you have the Eric Princes sit on a national stage and mock black leaders as being ineffective and advocate for the fact that you need white leaders to go in there.

45:16 to take over these countries because they're unable to do for themselves what they were never allowed to do to begin with. And I will make this point, and I make this point every time. If they're so freaking ineffective, why did you get rid of them? You got rid of them because they were effective. You got rid of them because they were doing what was best for their country.

45:46 In most cases, so that when you because they wouldn't do what you wanted them to do. Otherwise, they would still be sitting there because they would be as ineffective as the guy that you put in. The difference is the guy you put in sold out his entire country to the Western imperial powers. So let's see. Deb, go ahead. Colonel, thanks for.

46:19 Oh, my gosh, I caught the live you did earlier. I clean houses, so I listen while I'm working. And this, I mean, other than it makes what's going on today make more sense. Because I just couldn't believe that transfections and everything were on purpose, you know, that this is all these billions or millions. I don't know what the number is.

46:58 dead or injured or all these people suffering that I see every day, I just thought, really? This is what's going on. It's on purpose. Okay, if you know about all this stuff, it kind of makes sense, you know? I'm still trying to put it all together in my mind because I only started listening and following and trying to catch up, what, two weeks, a week ago maybe? I don't know.

47:26 But holy Toledo, I mean, we need to flush the toilet. I mean, top down, top down. And you know what? Before all this, I was living a normal freaking life, you know, just working my job, paying my bills, you know, not even thinking about all this stuff. And that's...

47:56 how they that's where they want us that's where they wanted us you know and had you had I not stumbled on this and started paying attention it's like oh holy crap and how how do you approach this with other people how so

48:18 I will tell you how I do it, because I just had this conversation and you've heard this already because I think I mentioned it on the earlier show. When I called the Texas congressman that.

48:31 was interrogating the former Secret Service chief there two days ago in Congress. And he was the guy that was talking about climbing up on the roof, the one foot pitch roof and taking the shots and, you know, getting like 15 out of 16 of them. And he doesn't even know what he's doing. So I.

48:51 I'm very much an equal opportunity. I'm going to tell you when I think you do shitty stuff. And I'm going to also tell you when I think you do great stuff. And so I called his office in Washington, D.C. And I told his staff I thought he did an excellent job. He's a former Air Force officer as well. And I.

49:08 congratulated him on whoever put the material together for him. They did an excellent job. And I said, but I want to tell you something. And having worked at the Pentagon and answered some of those calls from crazy people that think you and the Pentagon know what's in Area 51 and all this other crap. And we got them all the time. I said, what I'm about to say is going to sound crazy. And I realized that. But I can't not tell you.

49:37 His remark at the end about her going back and guarding Doritos was very naive. And I know he meant it to be a joke, but it's not a joke. I said, I'm going to ask you to convey to him to look up PepsiCo's interaction in the Chilean coup when they killed, assassinated President Allende in Chile. PepsiCo, she was not.

50:05 placed in PepsiCo by accident. She was placed in PepsiCo to be out of the reach of Donald Trump until he was gone and she was brought back and put in charge of the Secret Service. And I said, and it's important to know that because I don't think most of our congressional members know that these people are embedded everywhere and that there is an entire network out there that

50:30 orchestrates these coups. And I said, and again, I'm just going to say, I know I sound like I've lost my mind. I have not. It's called Operation Gladio. Write it down. Look it up. And that's really, in most cases, all you have to say. In most cases, if you ask someone, just Google, just search.

50:59 operation gladio and then you come back and tell me what you think um because the first search they do on operation gladio it's like a tidal wave that comes over them because it's so much

51:15 And then you can be their buddy. You can go, I know, right? Look at this. And did you hear about this one? And did you hear about that one? And did you hear about this one? And then it becomes almost like one of those scavenger hunts of where's the next coup and who was involved and what U.S. international company paid for that one.

51:39 And it literally does become like an Easter egg hunt with the same amount of tenacity that you have in trying to solve a problem. And I think the more that we collect and the more.

51:56 And you witnessed it today. So you listened to the three-hour interview and the ability to roll off the top of your head this coup versus this coup and how this one was similar to that one in all of the countries that are involved. Because once you understand how this network works and you talk with authority on these issues, you become instantly credible because no one else knows anything about it.

52:23 then you become the go-to person in your family, in your friends network. And so I just, we had a couple over the other day. I grew up with her. We went to junior high school together. And her husband, who just retired, he's a Cisco food salesman. He's like, I love coming over here because you always have all the good stuff. And so it becomes, for people who care about their country and for people who are patriots,

52:52 And of course, that was the the actual while they were here, the assassination attempt happened. And so thank God. I mean, because they were very emotional and I was able to kind of walk them through the entire process. This isn't the first time. It's not going to be the last time. And there will be other events this summer for the rest of the time up until the election. And so anyway, yes. Can you.

53:22 Can you help me make it make sense in my head? The whole, okay, United States Corporation. It's the CIA, yes. But who plans what? Who pays for what? How is this? So I don't get into that corporation thing. I honestly try to stay away from other topics that tend to be much more.

53:52 controversial because I think it takes away from the significance of Operation Gladio. It's a standalone kind of thing. But I can't answer your question. If you were to build a hierarchy, the hierarchy would have the international syndicate at the top of the hierarchy. And Operation Gladio is the paramilitary. So if you're going to run the world, you have to have a military bully force in order to effect your decisions.

54:22 and make people stay in line. That's what Operation Gladio is. Operation Gladio is like the military is to the United States. So the International Syndicate, after World War II, set up a whole bunch of international entities like the UN, NATO, the World Bank. All of these things function as if it's like a country only for the entire world.

54:50 Instead of having the State Department, you have the UN. Instead of having the Department of Defense, you have NATO, which is the one that orchestrates Operation Gladio in a covert manner. The World Bank is the central bank in a country, and the IMF is the loan department of the central bank. They set up an entire world structure after World War II that mimics a country only on an international scale.

55:20 is the mafia, knee breakers, skull crackers, assassinations element on the covert level that makes people stay in line. And any one of these government heads of state that gets out of line, gets a bullet between their eyes, or if they're lucky, they'll do it while they're out of the country and they can just live in exile.

55:47 in another country for the rest of their life, never to go back to their home country, which is torture for anybody who's a patriot. So that's kind of the way to look at it. Okay. Appreciate that. Thank you. Jeff, what do you got? I must catch him at the same bad time. No, you're good. You're good, Colonel. Yes, ma'am. Deb, I think that Colonel...

56:22 uh hit it right on the head that the gladio is the muscle of what we call now the new world order i.e the black syndicate and not to go into the money details but just look at the politicians and the big uh big military guys in the military industrial complex that's the cash and 100 about

56:49 Director Cheadle, I thought she should have resigned last week, a long time back. But yeah, she was, Pepsi Cola has always been muscle for the intelligence agency. That's 100%. So that connects that dot to where we're at today. It was a terrible, terrible, gross neglect of the Secret Service to open up the president for that type of future.

57:17 behavior that's the danger we have to worry about that that's right on the head we see that the operation gladio is still going full in effect today since uh we remember the sugar cane wars of hawaii that i just recently uh was made aware of which was so cool that's how we got pearl harbor and um it's all connected into these these these guys are being

57:44 They're being shown out right now, Colonel. This is despicable. This is some of the most despicable gangster racketeering the world's ever seen. Just my opinion. And thank you again, Colonel. We appreciate you and Bridget and cousin. Thanks, cousin. Go ahead. Well, I just wanted to address that Cheetle resigning issue. This is not a great thing.

58:13 This was the right thing, but this isn't a good thing. Because if you recall, she was sitting before Congress saying, well, she wasn't in charge of that. She didn't do that, et cetera, et cetera. You know who was doing that? It was the assistant director, who's now gotten a promotion, okay, and is now the director of the Secret Service. So this is out of the frying pan and into the fire. This is not a good thing. It was the right thing for her.

58:42 Fine, because she got called out. But don't be fooled. This isn't going to change. He was the one who was in charge, not her. So that's all I have to say. Thank you. Yeah. So, again, this is the plausible deniability. I'm not going to say he was in charge, but he is the one that was delegated the responsibility to be the decision maker.

59:13 So she had plausible deniability and could attempt anyway to sit in front of Congress and not technically be lying when she said she never disapproved anything. Because that's the sneaky trick that they play on you when these government agencies goes in front of Congress. It's a word game with them. Luckily, Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

59:41 caught on to the word games and was able to redirect some of those questions to, like when she was saying, oh, no, I don't use Signal. And then the other follow-up question then became, okay, well, do you use any of them? Oh, well, yeah, I use encrypted apps.

1:00:03 on my personal phone for government business. I just don't use Signal. You have to be very careful with their terminology. And it is true that the deputy is now the acting director of the Secret Service. So, Cousin, it's absolutely right that as the acting director, there is nothing that's going to change as far as the risk to President Trump. That's right. And if you all were paying attention,

1:00:33 It was her government issued phone and her personal phone. So she does have more than one cell phone. So they can subpoena her government issued phone and chances are fairly good that there won't be anything on it. But she actually sat there and said she had two phones. So let's see if anybody in Congress is...

1:00:58 Yeah. She was using her personal phone with encrypted apps to do government business. Right. With illegal. Right. And let's see if anybody in Congress is smart enough to pick it up because, frankly, I have my doubts. No, they did. In the actual questioning, Boebert made her say that out loud. So they got it. The question now becomes whether or not they will subpoena her phone and whether or not the DOJ would follow up on it.

1:01:30 Well, but see, this is where the sergeant at arms needs to get involved, because God knows Johnson had no problem marching him out to say that they were going to arrest everybody in Congress that was disruptive, forgetting completely that he can do that with anybody that defies a subpoena or is in contempt. And, you know, I'm gobsmacked that we're actually having to talk about this, to be honest with you. I'm not at all surprised.

1:01:59 based on everything that we know from history. But the fact that these people in Washington, D.C. have, you know, such a narrative that they're not hearing anybody else. And that, to me, out of everything that we do, is the most frustrating. Oh, I agree. I mean, the day when she showed up, I had my doubts she'd show up. When she showed up, that was one of my first posts, is arrest her. Arrest her right now. And they should have. Yep.

1:02:32 They absolutely should have. And, you know, it's like, OK, so I'm going to give you the I called my congressman's office. I called my senator's office. There are actual Nazis right now in D.C., actual Nazis from the Centurion group from Ukraine that are supposed to be meeting with Congress. I'm sorry. I have issues with that.

1:02:58 So I call the offices and say, excuse me, these are the people that are there. What are you going to do about it? And I get yes to death. And I asked the intern that answered the phone, can you please read back the message since you're going to relay it to my congressman? And she said, well, I can't. And I said, well, did you write it down? So the answer to that was no. So these are the people that are on the payroll that our taxes are paying for.

1:03:29 And I'm starting to lose my shit. So thank you. I'll also share with you after I talked to the Texas congressman two days ago, I called again because I called like once a week for like the last, I don't know, three months to Matt Gaetz's office trying to find out if he ever got that list of the generals in the African coups that are currently going on that are graduates of the Fort Benning School that we used to call School of Americas that he.

1:03:57 revealed in congressional testimony. And he tasked General Langley, the AFRICOM commander, to provide him that list. So I wanted to know if he got the list. So I usually play phone tag with them for several days. But yesterday, one of the people from the office called me back and I told her what I wanted. And she says, well, that's not something that we normally do. And I said,

1:04:26 I know we don't normally coup foreign governments either. So I'm just looking for the list that he said he had tasked them. I want to know whether or not he got it. And could I get a copy of it? I'm doing research into that exact subject. Well, I can't guarantee I could call you back with that. And I'm like, what? You can't guarantee you? Well, you can guarantee me you could call me back.

1:04:52 You can't guarantee me that he got the list. So you're telling me you're just not going to call me back. Well, this isn't something we do. We normally just help constituents solve issues. And I said, OK, I'm not a constituent of Matt Gates, but he has the only he's the one of the only ones with the balls and the brains to figure out that this is actually going on. So I'm I have to resort to calling your office. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered.

1:05:20 So I need you to write a note to him and pass it to someone who's not you that you work for asking if he ever got that list. And I want to call back. So I'm very aware of it. It doesn't stop me from doing it. But yeah, I mean, it's the most frustrating thing. And then I said, well, what is your job description? Well, I'm an intern. I said, that's not a job description. Yeah. You know, it's these are the people we're paying.

1:05:53 So I'm sorry. I have a hard time with all of this. So I appreciate your tenacity and the fact that you're able to talk with people because I'm five minutes away from losing my shit on them. So good for you. Yeah, I'm not going to lose my shit because I'm not going to give them that power over my emotions. All right, SR71, what you got? Thank you, Colonel. And thank everybody on both Rumble and X. Today we are doing exceptional.

1:06:23 Anyway, I did have some information on Cheeto that we were talking about earlier in her phones. She was also asked if she would give those phones up. And her answer was, yes, if I have to. Yes, if I have to. I heard that. Other than that, that's all I got, Colonel. Thank you. Stellar, I saw your hand up earlier. Did you have something?

1:06:50 Yeah, I had read something. Was it yesterday or the day before that they were saying that they wanted all the records and everything and they gave them seven days? Why would they give them seven days to continue scrubbing stuff? Because it's been, you know, more than 10 days since the assassination. That was one of them. Number two, they're really starting to amp up so that $81 million that came in through Kamala, in my opinion, is probably what's paying these protesters. And it makes you wonder.

1:07:18 And when Kamala, I'll just call her Kamala because she doesn't serve anything better. But, you know, when she did a little rally that was all full of white people, I think I saw a couple of, you know, people of color, but only about three out of the entire gymnasium that she was in.

1:07:39 And if that's the case, and they were saying that there's people, they're now noticing that there were people that were there that are now in D.C. and stuff like that. So it just makes you kind of wonder, you know, them pulling the flag down, pulling up the Palestinian flag, you know, Netanyahu, which we know Bibi isn't that great. But, you know, with all this stuff happening, you know, it's just getting kind of crazy. It seems like we're going to start playing out the Summer of Love from a few years ago. Well, that's definitely part of their operation.

1:08:08 But that's interesting that you say that, because it will be interesting for us to pay attention to, are they busing around rent-a-crowds? They are. They are. In D.C., they're showing the buses being dropped off currently, or at least within the last couple of hours. It will be important for us to pay attention to the demographics, as Stellar just articulated.

1:08:32 Of these gatherings, and if they appear to be a bunch of retirees or young students, then you know unequivocally that they are basically busing around people that don't have day jobs in order to make it appear that she has some type of audience. But I do want you guys to take a step back because this is actually a huge win for us.

1:09:02 In the perspective of making them go through this appearance of them actually campaigning. Because remember in 2020, they basically didn't campaign at all. So the fact that they're now not only had to change out the deadbeat candidate.

1:09:27 because there's no freaking way anybody would believe he would be reelected, that watching the way in which they're going to orchestrate this quote unquote campaign, or in their case, selection, is going to be...

1:09:47 If you have a sense of humor, it's actually going to be hysterical. The fact that they have to go through these machinations where in the past it was more of a kind of dance. You know, you remember the McCain and Obama and the Romney and Obama. They just danced. It was never any real.

1:10:10 actual campaign you know because mccain wasn't going to say anything bad about obama and blob they just danced with each other this trump didn't allow him to dance unless you consider you know like the tap dancing a dance um and i i thoroughly enjoy them being on the hot seat and made to perform go ahead stellar um

1:10:40 Oh, one last thing real quick. Okay, I'm sorry. Oh, sorry. Sorry, cousin. It was just still about, you know, the fraud stuff with the money. And then O'Keefe is having his, you know, troop of people that are investigating, you know, like the large donations and stuff like that. But not just the large donations, but going through, because everything is all open. So they're literally going to.

1:11:05 houses and just verifying with act blue did you donate ten dollars did you donate twenty dollars you know did you donate total of like a hundred thousand did you donate a hundred they're just making up names of like former donors and then just saying you know it could be Soros and they're saying that they're getting the money from Joe Smith and Mary Sue and so and so and these smaller donations that are adding up to be huge ones

1:11:34 you know, in the end, and it's been going on apparently for the last several years. So I'm kind of watching that one as well, because it's very interesting how, you know, because of how the election campaign monies and stuff like that are done, you know, they can only do so much. One guy said, yeah, I did donate $10,000 ago. We've added up here a total of $140,000. He said, no, I don't have that. So it's just kind of interesting the games that they're playing. Right, exactly. Go ahead, Cousin Ant. So a couple of different things. And then Nathan,

1:12:03 Excuse me. I don't know if you saw, but Nathan had his hand up. No, I don't see him. Go ahead. Okay. All right. So I just wanted to comment real quick on the protesters. So one of the things you all have to realize is the paid actors versus the genuine pro-Palestinian anti-genocide protesters. There are actual people in the group, including Jews,

1:12:33 that are absolutely against the country of Israel or the state of Israel. They're not a country. And they are absolutely against the genocide and the open air concentration camp. They have been infiltrated by the same people that we had the summer of love with.

1:12:56 Okay, so that's where the buses came in. That's on January 6th. That's the Summer of Love. Those are the same people that move around. So sincere protesters, just like they did the Vietnam War protesters, the same protesters have been infiltrated by these bad actors. So there's some things that are extremely infuriating to watch, them taking down the American flags and putting the Palestinian flags up.

1:13:26 absolutely infuriated by it. On the other hand, knowing that those aren't the genuine people, they are not sincere people, it makes sense that they're doing that because they want to incite violence. They want to incite a riot. And interestingly enough, Mike Flynn, General Flynn,

1:13:52 posted, is the old guard ready? And they were showing the video of the flags being taken down and the Palestinian flags being put back up. And I did repost it. It's actually a Q post with the exact same time and date stamp that says you are witnessing slash watching the systematic destruction of the old guard.

1:14:21 Power will return to the people, Q. Now, I'm not a huge Q follower, but I have to believe that at this point, they do know everything that's going on. Somebody does, all right? And we are witnessing the destruction of these people. They are at their death throes.

1:14:45 The other thing with the money stellar, I don't know if you noticed, ActBlue changed their credit card system. So there's actually no verification. So I don't understand it, but I don't know if you saw it. On that note, Nathan, you had your hand raised if you want to go ahead. Thanks. That may have been a glitch. I don't recall raising my hand, but I do. I am curious, you know, if that.

1:15:15 kind of sidesteps any accountability on her part. What does? What sidesteps accountability? By her just stepping down versus a further investigation and maybe repercussions from ever holding a position of power again like that. Well, it makes her not subjective to the IG, the Inspector General's investigation, which would be forthcoming.

1:15:45 But it doesn't criminally make her not liable. So you just have to have control of the Department of Justice in order for a criminal investigation to actually occur. So they can issue subpoenas and just like they did with Steve Bannon and putting him in jail for not. So there are none. She's not exempt from any of that. But.

1:16:10 It does make investigations easier when someone is still on your payroll because you have more jurisdiction over them as a result of that. So either way, there has to be accountability for this. Jeff, go ahead. I think that yesterday they withdrew the impeachment from the Congress against her because of her resignation, too, I believe, as well.

1:16:44 I think that her resigning is going to deaden the pain a little bit, but it will definitely be addressed and she'll probably never hold office again. And, you know, with Kamala Harris's experience, I mean, on the world stage compared to President-elect Donald Trump, I don't think that she's going to do well with Putin, Xi Jinping, and Iran and the rest of the...

1:17:11 top world players in Africa. I think she's toast there. And I personally think that I would vote for the Colonel Bridget and cousin it over Kamala a million to one. I mean, they're just as, she is that unprepared. I'm not sure if that's, I'm not sure if that's a compliment. No, it's not. You know what I'm saying, Colonel? What I'm saying is, is that my confidence and, and our,

1:17:43 My confidence in Kamala Harris is not there at all, period. That goes without saying. Nobody has any confidence in her for anything that's actually important. Right. Colonel, can you drop Bridget out and bring her back in? She's having glitches on her side. Jeff, just so you're aware, right, so they dropped the impeachment because she quit or she resigned.

1:18:11 They can't impeach her if she's not in office. Impeachment is simply for people that are in positions within the government. And that would go before the Senate. If she's no longer in the position, it doesn't get to that point. That doesn't absolve her in a criminal court. And it's up to us, not for nothing. Right. So we can sit here and talk. All right. Whoever.

1:18:41 Who unmuted who muted everybody? That was not me either. That was my badge. That was fat fingering me. I'm sorry. All right. My badge. All right. So anyway, I don't know how much of that you caught because Bridget, at least it's not me with the fat fingers. I didn't do it either. Well, no, it was Bridget this time. Usually I'm the one that always hits that button. But anyways, so they cannot impeach her if she's already out of office.

1:19:11 That's just how that rolls. That doesn't absolve her. That just sends it to a different court. So that's that. But no, actually seeing her in front of Putin would actually be pretty funny. If you think about it, I got nothing. I mean, I think that would be hysterical. I can't see either one of them actually, Xi, Iran or Putin wanting to sit down with her.

1:19:42 Unless they wanted to laugh, I don't see it. Or something else. All right, Stellar, go ahead. That's awesome. Well, even because you guys are having a space on Friday with the constitutional person, right? Is it this Friday? Friday morning, we are having a constitutional 101 on her status as far as being president.

1:20:07 That's at nine o'clock on Friday morning with me, Ward Hamster and his constitutional buddy. Perfect. Yeah, because I mean, you guys even mentioned and we've been talking about it a little bit here and there. I mean, she can't be a president, you know, constitutionally, but we know that they make up their own stuff.

1:20:26 But technically, she can't be. So if Biden steps down and if she can't be, what if they, you know, there's going to be two people that they're going to insert in there because the Democrats are like, OK, well, you know, we voted for Biden, even though that's all they voted for on the primary thing. You know, there was no Kamala because it was just for presidents. So it's going to be very interesting with her not being able to be in it, especially if he actually does.

1:20:52 resign type of a thing, there's going to be two placeholders that need to be filled by them. So I just thought I'd bring that up too. Very interesting times. Go ahead. I'm still thinking he's in a freezer. I, you know, I'm sorry. If anybody thinks that he was the one that sprinted up Air Force One stairs yesterday, they're out of their mind. I have $5 that says he's not going to be on at eight o'clock.

1:21:16 I think Miles had his hand up, though, so I'm not sure if you see the hands up anymore, Colonel. I can see the hands. I was going to let Bridget, since I had to take her down and bring her back up, talk, and then I'll go to Miles. Thanks, Boz. We apologize for the glitches. All I wanted to do, and this goes to what Nathan brought up earlier, and I couldn't speak, and that was, you know, we've seen how many congressional investigations

1:21:46 And 90, I would say 90% of them are focused on real, honest to God things that pertain to wrongs, injustices done to the American people, to our war vets, especially to the war vets. And all they generally do is use it to cover up the crimes. And we need to take note of this.

1:22:17 How many more times are we going to see congressional investigations that lead to? Yeah, nothing. Absolutely nothing. And it's not that it's not in their power. It is to some extent. However, the bulk of it is they use it to suppress, hide and mark people to be removed physically from this world to be.

1:22:44 It's all a giant shell game that they use over and over and over again. And only until we stop responding to it and start saying, what have you actually done? Even a lot of these congressmen that get up there and they run their mouth and they, boy, they give a great speech. They give a great speech. But what did they actually accomplish? Nothing.

1:23:09 And until they actually can get something physically, and I've heard about all about, well, it's because they're in the minority or well, it's because no, they have a lot of things at their disposal. They choose not to use it because they don't want to rock the boat because the boat pays pretty heavily to them and their family members, just like Joe Biden. We've seen it with their cousins.

1:23:38 nephews and nieces. And that's what all these 1,000-page reports that come in in the middle of the night and are ushered through to be voted on, that's what's in these. That is exactly what's in these. And this has to stop. And it will only stop if we hold their feet to the fire and we get ticked and we get good and sufficiently pissed and we bring the truth to bear and no longer allow them to do their slimy weasel job.

1:24:08 You know? Okay. Miles. Good afternoon, Colonel. I just want to make a quick observation. So because of Kimberly's long service with the Secret Service and her little part-time job with PepsiCo, I just want to tell everybody she is not suicidal. She knows nothing. But don't get on a flight with her, please. Thank you. Well put.

1:24:43 Touche. All right, Deb, go ahead. I would like to go. I'm probably asking a dumb question. I'm just trying to put this together. Like with the congressman and with... Let me ask you something. Have you ever seen... Hold on. Have you ever seen... Your hand is not up. Maybe we don't do that. You put your hand up and you'll be called on. I called on Deb.

1:25:11 So you can let her go. Go ahead, Deb. Okay. Deb, can you go? Crap. I'm talking with the damn mic shut. Sorry. Okay. Like with Johnson and our members of Congress that seem to be working against us half the time, it just appalls me when I see what they voted for or against that would actually either do harm or do good. Anyway.

1:25:49 I'm trying to figure out, so are they in on this or do they even know or are they just taking a check? I don't get it. So I can only share with you my experience of having been inside the machine for 30 years. I didn't know. Is it possible to be inside the machine and not know? Yes. But you only get one shot of...

1:26:20 not knowing. And then once you're told and you ignore it, then it's no longer, you don't know. And that's why I want everyone to take this information, go to your town halls with your congressional people. I want you to stand up. I want you to be bold. I want you to have you rehearsed. They've been doing this for eons.

1:26:51 It is your understanding that that's exactly what happened with President Trump, that these have been coordinated. There's abundance of evidence that illustrate this. You mentioned PepsiCo, Chile, Linde, ITT, blah, blah, blah. And get you a comfortable three-minute little spill. Stand up. Be bold. Tell them about it. Then they can't say they don't know.

1:27:20 Okay, and so then my second question was, like with what's going on in Washington and the flags and all that, and they're trying to incite violence, is that because they want us to react? That way they can, what? What can they do if we react? I mean, I feel we have not reacted for a long damn time. So it's a strategy of tension that they instigate.

1:27:49 behavior that they know will incite violence. And then they will arrest the people that are reacting, not the people that actually are instigating the violence because the instigators have been infiltrated and it's a trap. You can't fall into the trap. Okay. Okay. So J6 stuff. Okay. I got it. I didn't know if they would.

1:28:19 I've heard people say martial law type stuff. No, they would love to have martial law. But the only way you can justify martial law is by basically creating a civil war. And that is exactly what they would love to do. They've tried to do it and they use cultural divisions that either are there organically that they can exacerbate or that they create themselves.

1:28:48 like the assassination of Martin Luther King. That was done to exacerbate a racial event in order for them to then use it to create chaos throughout the United States and disrupt an election process that was going on in 1968 that almost mirrors the current.

1:29:18 election cycle, which we covered a couple of times. Yes, got it. Okay, thanks so much. Sure. Mimi, go ahead. Hello. Is it my turn? How are you? Yeah, I'm great. How are you? I'm great. How did you get your handle? I'm sorry. Mimi, how did you get your handle? Can you tell me your name? I just want to holler at you. How did you get... Is it...

1:29:53 I don't want to say it wrong. Is it Cornell or Cole? I'm a U.S. Air Force colonel. Oh, you're a colonel? It's colonel. So you did Air Force? I spent 30 years in the Air Force. Mimi, did you have a question? Because you say you're a military brat. So I'm wondering if you had a... Hold on.

1:30:22 Hold on. They spell colonel differently? No, colonel is Air Force. Wouldn't you say colonel? No. A colonel is in the Army, Marines, and Air Force. Okay. So are you lying? Who are you? Amy's a troll if you guys haven't figured it out yet. Yeah, why don't you just boot her because this woman's like a ding-dong. Alright, she's gone. Okay. Go ahead, Jeff.

1:31:06 Who, who removed Jeff? I think one of you guys removed Jeff. Well, that would be me. No, that was me because I went to hit her at the same time you hit her. And I, I must've like, okay. Can we get Jeff back in the room? Um, I don't know. Okay. Okay. What you guys have to do. Okay. So no, I got it. Okay.

1:31:34 Okay. I got him. Yeah. Otherwise you could just send him a new invite and he'll be able to come in without any problems. Yeah. He's not in the removed by the way. Um, just Mimi is. Yeah. So he's free to come back in. Um, he's not blocked anyway. Sorry about that guys. Um, anyway, I need to run. I'm having dinner with my sisters tonight. So.

1:32:04 If we don't have any other questions, I'm going to go ahead and Bridget, Cousin Ed, any last thoughts? Hey, Froggy. Hey, Frog. What's up? How are you doing, Bridget? How are you? Good. Great. Wonderful. I love that y'all two all show up side by side now. Well, of course. It's Christmas in July.

1:32:38 It's going to get really hot and everything. Thank you, Colonel Turner, for everything you shared and going over again. You know, they did this right before the elections last time. They're doing it again. All these different things. Operation Gladio really does help make us, well, at least for me, and I'm sure it does with everyone, understand a lot more of what's going on. So thank you so much.

1:32:59 You're welcome. And it is important to understand that. And as we articulated in 1968, not only did they assassinate Martin Luther King to create the racial divide, they took out the leading candidate in the Democrat Party, RFK, by assassination as well.

1:33:24 And that's how they went into the convention in Chicago in 1968 so that they could select, not elect, the person that they wanted running against Nixon. And so it's very important to understand the similarities and patterns that reoccur in history because it does make you much more informed.

1:33:53 about what's currently happening. So with that, we're going to close out this space and we will be back tomorrow at four, Friday at 9 a.m. talking about the constitutionality of whether Kamala Harris can be president. And then we're having the round table at 4 p.m. with all of the CanCon, Alpha, Brian Cates, et cetera, to give us an update on.

1:34:23 everything um attempted assassination at that point so thanks again for everybody being here we will see you tomorrow at four o'clock friday at 9 a.m talking about the constitutionality of whether kamala harris um can be president and then we're having the round table at 4 p.m with all of the can con alpha brian cates um etc just to give us an update on everything
