Go ahead and get started. If everybody could repost the space so that everyone knows that we're up and running. I'm going to do that myself and then I'm going to get started. All right. So, Grenada. The particular part that I want to cover today is out of...
0:35
the book Killing Hope by William Bloom. But I actually studied, I wrote a paper as part of my master's degree when I was at Air War College about Grenada. And I wanted to kind of, he kind of starts at the planning for the invasion and has some really great information about that. But I wanted to start a little earlier because the part that is most
1:05
Gladio-ish is the stuff that happens prior to what he covers in the book, but it kind of is along the same line. So I'm going to cover the part that I know from prior research. And for those of you who don't know, Grenada was a colony of the UK up until 1974.
1:36
They had a movement that the West referred to in their normal hyperbole as communists called the New Jewel, J-E-W-E-L movement. And you can legitimately say that it was like socialist light, but so was the New Deal. And it has a very interesting.
2:02
Bishop had a very interesting take on how to govern. And I will play a short recording of something that he said so you can understand. And then I'm going to go into his philosophy a little deeper later. But he was not a communist. And in 1979, there was a bloodless coup that was led by Maurice Bishop.
2:35
And why did that happen? Well, when the UK granted Grenada their quote-unquote independence, they did it in the same way that all of the rest of the European powers granted quote-unquote independence. They did it with someone left behind that was going to enforce their way of doing business. In this case, his name was Sir Eric Gary.
3:03
And it's spelled like dairy, only with a G. G-A-I-R-Y. He led a political party called the United Labor Party. And basically, he kind of just assumed the role, but they did have an election in 1976, which even by international standards of the UN and everybody else, it was totally a sham election. And basically,
3:34
Eric Gehry just reinstalled himself. But during the two years from the independence in 1974 to that election in 76, he created a thing. Well, he had created a long time ago, but it came into full scale use after the independence. It was called the Mongoose Gang.
4:01
And it, like many of these other Gladio-ish operations, was a militia that had been formed to make sure that the international syndicate's bidding was done. And originally, this New Jewel movement was part of it. So it couldn't be too communist because it was under the umbrella of this.
4:30
mongoose game and um maurice bishop the guy who breaks apart and eventually coos um gary was the leader of the new jewel movement while it was part of the mongoose game um so unless gary the uk representative who installs himself as the prime minister was also communist neither was the new jewel movement so you have um
5:02
And Bishop led basically a bloodless coup. So Gary had a propensity that when he went out of town, he left killing orders. So if he wanted someone taken out by the mongoose gang, he didn't want to be associated with it. So it was done when he was on trips outside of the country. So Bishop arranges to have a bloodless coup while he was outside of the...
5:32
Grenada. And interestingly enough, Bishop did not radically reformat Grenada once he installed himself as the new leader. He recognized the queen. He left all of the tenants of the previous administration intact. There was still a governor.
6:01
that was recognized as the crown representative in Grenada. He never did anything with him bad. They talked all the time. So there was really no legitimate labeling. But we've seen that that's not a legitimate way of doing business anyway. They just label them communists so that they can tell us that's the reason why Americans are dying, you know, to save the world from communism.
6:31
So, a little bit more about the Mongoose Gang. It started in 1967, and under Gary in 1979, he used it as, well, in 74 when he took over, he used it as his own, and this is what he called it, the Special Reserve Police, or sometimes he referred to it as his volunteer constables.
7:00
These were people who were not in uniform that were assassins, much like Gladio units. And one of their targets during this reign of terror was Rupert Bishop, who is Maurice's dad. And after they murdered his dad, Gary ends up...
7:28
arresting Maurice, beating him, and jailing him for a short period of time. So, Maurice has every right to be seeking revenge from this Gary guy. Even MI6, at this point, it referred to this mongoose game as Ruthless Criminal. They didn't do anything about it, but... So...
7:58
I already mentioned that the election was a fraud in 76 and that the UN and independent election observers cited intimidation by this mongoose gang as one of the reasons why it was not a legitimate election. And many of you who've been on several of these.
8:23
deep dives, know that the organization, the OAS, which is the organization throughout the Americas that is fraught with fraud, and they're basically a front for the CIA. They do whatever the U.S. wants to do, and they'll intimidate everybody into doing it.
8:48
They had a meeting that was hosted in Granada during this time frame. And there was violence throughout the entire city during this meeting as a way of trying to intimidate people. So let me get to the next point. So after Bishop takes Coup de Guerre, the leader of the Mongoose.
9:21
gang was tried and sentenced to 14 years in jail for three murders. And many of the people in that area on the other islands, the leadership said that the Mongoose gang was every bit as violent as the Tonton Makuti of Haiti. And if you guys want to hear about awful, that gang there.
9:48
legitimately. And I mean, it was a Gladio style, truly a gang that repressed all of the local people, murdered people. So this is the equivalent of that type of horrific torture, kidnapping, all that stuff. So eventually, Maurice Bishop is assassinated.
10:22
And a guy by the name of Hudson Austin ran the op that led to Maurice Bishop's assassination. And you will never guess where he got his military training. Guyana. I about fell over dead. Now, of course, again, I'm telling you, I'm looking at old notes and how now that I know that Operation Gladio happened.
10:53
in Guyana and there was terrorist training camps there, I go back and I look at this and I'm like, oh my God, it was staring me right in the face. And I want to point this other thing out, which is another pattern. So in the past, when you had like Alente that was murdered and Penashe come to power in Chile, which is one we've already examined, the Penashe was a general.
11:22
So the CIA's tactic is that they go in and co-op the generals. They send them to the schools of America or the follow on at Fort Benning and they co-op them. And then when they pick up the phone and they tell the general, you know, do this, then they coup the leader and, you know, they install whoever their new stooge is going to be, blah, blah, blah. So this one followed exactly the same way. The military leader of the element, the New Jewel movement.
11:51
for Maurice Bishop was this Austin guy. And damned if he didn't go to basically a military terrorist training camp in Guyana, just like it has happened in every one of these other ones. So I found that astonishing. And anyway, so that was just from my old notes. And now I want to, hopefully this is going to work. I want to play.
12:21
I want y'all to hear in his own words why Maurice Bishop thinks that he was targeted to be taken out. Let's see if this is going to work. Hold on. This isn't it.
12:55
Hold on. Got the wrong one. Here it is. Okay, hold on. They're saying it's breaking up. Let me move just a second, because you got to hear this. I mean, it's everything as far as...
13:35
Let me try it one other place.
14:34
All right. If it's not going to work, it's not going to work. Let me just tell you that he is in front of a university in America. He came here to meet with the Reagan administration, who refused to meet with them as a head of a foreign country. And he basically said that he was a big... Colonel, you're banned. Actually, I think we've lost you.
15:05
You may want to try and... There you are. Can you hear me? Yeah, now I can hear you great. So basically what he's trying to articulate is that the Reagan administration, all of them, viewed Maurice Bishop, despite the size of Grenada, a bigger threat than Nicaragua.
15:37
Cuba, El Salvador, or any of the other countries that they had couped, to include Chile, because he, in his own words, says because they are Black, and that was actually in a State Department memo that was leaked, and because they spoke English.
16:06
and everybody in America could understand what his message was. The rest of the people spoke Spanish, and that it would be very easy to lie to the American people. But when Maurice Bishop spoke, he spoke in English, and he spoke from a position of having been colonized by the West.
16:34
And that made him a bigger threat than any of the other dictators that the U.S. overthrew. I mean, it's an amazing speech. I will copy the link and post it in a minute. But I'm going to go into William Bloom's take on all of this as well. And his overview is from 1979 to 1984.
17:04
And he basically talks about a country at the time the U.S. had 240 million people invading a country of 110,000. And again, I have remarked multiple times the overwhelming effort and billions of dollars that the U.S. spent in attacking Cuba disproportionately.
17:33
And the economic havoc that was wreaked on the Cuban population was far and above any benefit that we ever got out of it. And the same is true with Grenada. This was an attack on an underdeveloped island of small villages, 1,500 miles away from our coast.
18:05
whose primary exports, and you're going to love this, cocoa, nutmeg, and bananas. So you know who was there. United Fruit. The United States government had a lot to say about what went on in Grenada. And three days after the invasion, the Deputy White House Press Secretary for Foreign Affairs resigned, saying that
18:32
Being associated with the invasion damaged his personal credibility. He was absolutely disgusted. One of the fundamental falsehoods concerning the invasion on Tuesday, 25 October 1983, was the United States had been requested to intervene by an urgent plea from the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, OECS.
19:02
comprising six countries and joined, in this instance, by two outsiders, Barbados and Jamaica, both of which had CIA stooges installed in both of those countries at the time. Supposedly, these countries feared some form of aggressive act from this newly installed government in Grenada.
19:31
This is the government they're talking about is the one that this Guyana trained guy. So this is an irony of all ironies. So Austin, the CIA stooge that just had overthrown and murdered Bishop, is the guy that they're supposedly going in to overthrow themselves. But they trained him. And supposedly he was the guy that was the big threat.
20:02
So you can tell that there's much more going on there. Bishop had been cooed on the 12th of October and placed under house arrest, and then he was murdered on the 19th. Also, even if those fears were valid, it would constitute a principle unknown under international law.
20:36
where State A could ask State B to invade State C in the absence of any aggression to A or B. In Washington, the State Department lawyers worked overtime trying to figure out a legal way in which they could do this invasion. They went over the OECS.
21:05
Mutual Assistance Pack. They scoured the OAS, which is the Organization of Americas. There was no provision in there. They also went over the UN Charter trying to find a legitimate reason that they could justify the invasion. Zero. They also said
21:34
They also found this, Article 6 of the OECS PAC required all members to approve a decision of the organization's authority by the heads of government to take any action. Well, Grenada was a member of that. And of course, Grenada is not going to approve their own invasion.
21:56
They basically violated the charter that they would later go on to say gave them the justification for doing what they did. It absolutely did not. Tom Adams, who was the prime minister of Barbados, stated that the U.S. had approached him on 15 October. So this is even before Bishop was murdered concerning a military intervention that the State Department wanted to do.
22:27
Then Jamaican Prime Minister Edward Siga, and keep in mind, these are two stooges that we basically have installed, also asserted that there was a plea by Caribbean nations that was triggered by an offer from the United States. And so basically, Washington is going down there trying to get other people to get on board with what they already had decided they were going to do.
22:56
The U.S. ambassador to France, Eben Galbraith, stated over French television that the Reagan administration had been planning the invasion for over two weeks before this. That is, not only well before the request from the Caribbean countries, but even before Bishop was overthrown. And therefore, this outcome could have been known with any certainty.
23:26
unless the CIA was in on it from the beginning. And so there was every likelihood that the CIA arranged for Maurice Bishop's coup and assassination and then was going to use the U.S. military to overthrow the guy that they had trained and was going to step in temporarily.
23:56
Every indication that is the case. Eventually, it was disclosed that at some point before the invasion, the government of Eugenia Charles, the prime minister of Dominica. And for those of you who don't know, that's in close proximity. That's not like the Dominican Republic. It is a small island near St. Lucia. So Eugenia Charles, the prime minister of Dominica, who headed the OECS at the time.
24:26
had been the recipient of covert CIA money for a secret upcoming support operation. So it gives the appearance that the CIA bribed the OECS not to speak out against their illegal action in overthrowing Grenada first and second time because had that person spoken out that a
24:54
pending invasion would have violated their OECS mutual assistance pack, the United States would have been out on a limb without help. So the U.S., as if to cover its bases, endorsed, if not in fact devised, the claim by the OECS that the governor general of
25:23
Grenada, a guy by the name of Paul Scone. So this again, and I need to foot stomp this. This is the Maurice Bishop for the entire time that he was prime minister did not get rid of this guy. This is the UK's representative, the governor general in Grenada. So he's still sitting there fat, dumb and happy in a formal position. So he.
25:55
Let's start over. The U.S., to cover its bases, endorsed the claim by the OECS that the governor general of Grenada, Paul Scroon, had also sent an urgent appeal for military intervention.
26:08
Apart from the highly debatable question of whether Scone appointed by the British Queen to his largely ceremonial figurehead position, a vestige of the days of the empire, had the constitutional right to even make such a request? Because he did not. But he also, in close proximity to this time, said he didn't do anything of the fat.
26:32
He says emphatically there has been no request for intervention from Sir Paul Scone. And that came from the British foreign secretary. Even Margaret Thatcher came out and said there had been no such request for intervention from anybody in the British government at all. BBC would report Scone himself said that an invasion was the last thing he wanted.
27:00
In the end, after the invasion was underway, Scone did, so they, the U.S. military, after they invaded, picks him up and basically, in some people's words, not my words, kidnap him, take him out to the USS Guam that's sitting off the coast of Grenada, and tells him that everybody that's a part of this would be best served if he signs this piece of paper.
27:30
requesting it after the fact, and still he has no legal authority to sign it. He is a ceremonial figure for the queen, period. But then the U.S. government used that signed piece of paper to justify the invasion that had already started. Another justification advanced by the U.S. for its actions when Reagan used the term overriding importance.
28:01
was the need to evacuate the hundreds of Americans from the island. And if you guys remember, the story we were fed is that there were hundreds of students at St. George's Medical College that was under imminent threat, that they were going to die any minute. And that was used as justification for the invasion from this awful guy that we had trained. So, to refute this contention,
28:33
You don't have to dig very far. Actually, if you go back and read a lot of the press, the students, when the military approached them asking them if they wanted to leave, there were some that did leave, just being honest. They left of their own accord.
28:51
Though in the press, as you'll see in a minute, they were saying that they were being held hostage and all this other stuff. They were not. Anybody that wanted to leave voluntarily, there were charter flights that were taking them out. There was no U.S. airline flights in and out of there at the time, but there were at least four charter flights that I remember that left carrying anybody out that wanted to go. So this whole line was garbage.
29:19
Two members of the U.S. Embassy in Barbados, a guy by the name of Ken Kersey and Linda Flo, reported over the weekend before the invasion that the U.S. students in Grenada were, for the most part, unwilling to leave or be evacuated. They were too intent on their studies because they didn't feel threatened. The three U.S. diplomats
29:45
Grenada at the same time and appeared to have agreed on orderly departures of any Americans wishing to leave. The White House acknowledged that evacuate American citizens, but officials said the Reagan administration came to distrust the offer, unquote, because if they left, then they wouldn't have a reason to invade anymore. This was, they said, because of the Grenadan government had
30:21
promised that the airport would be open on Monday. This is the excuse, but that it was closed. It was closed to commercial aircraft. They didn't want any commercial airlines coming in, but there were charter flights going out. Some of those who left on Monday were American medical students that wanted to leave. The chancellor of the medical school, Dr. Charles Modica, who was visiting New York, declared
30:47
On the day of the invasion that he was in touch with amateur radios operators at the college and quote, this is what he said. I think the president's information is very wrong because some of the Americans started to go out yesterday, unquote. So the president of the college, the medical college, is basically calling Reagan a liar in what he's telling the American people.
31:12
The Grenadian government issued instructions that the American students should be treated with utmost consideration and there were vehicles and escorts provided for them anywhere they wanted to go. The Cuban government released documents that showed that it had notified the U.S. on 22 October that no American or foreign citizen was in danger and that they were willing to cooperate in any way possible.
31:42
On the 23rd, the Cubans sent a message to the Grenadan leaders suggesting that the area around the medical school be a demilitarized area. Asked by journalists if there was any concrete information about threats to America, even the White House spokesperson said, none that I know of.
32:06
After subduing the minor resistance of Grenadan soldiers and Cuban construction workers, the U.S. forces discovered several other things to justify their coming. They found, said Ronald Reagan, quote, a complete base of weapons and communication equipment, which makes it clear a Cuban occupation of the island had been planned, unquote. He also went on to say that there were weapons and ammunition stacked to the ceiling, enough to supply thousands.
32:35
of terrorists come to find out when you actually look into the records of what they found there was a bunch of old like relic munitions and documents discovered by the american military allegedly showed that cubans were planning to put their own government in grenada later cia director william casey
33:04
had to admit that the doctors, that the documents were not real. There was found, let's see, what appeared to be, what they tried to make people think is that Grenada had been a terrorist training center. And who sets them up? Moreover, missile silos, they also said this.
33:29
Missile silos were being built in Grenada and that there were a thousand Cubans on the island. What they failed to mention is the Cubans that were on the island were there under a volunteer program to construct a new airport for their tourism industry and teachers. That's it. The U.S.-Grenada-Cuba scenario staged in Washington was compatible at the time to the Soviets.
33:57
This is a hilarious analogy here that this guy makes. He said it'd be the same thing as the Soviet Union invading Great Britain and then announcing that it had prevented the American takeover. And because it had discovered 30,000 U.S. servicemen and over 100 military bases, a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons and enough arms to supply millions of terrorists, the Soviet president could.
34:25
have declared, we got there just in the nick of time. And it literally would have been the same thing. Comparable, because keep in mind that Maurice Bishop basically had no access to even source a military. His chief of the army had been trained in Guyana by the CIA. So there's no way that he could have been sourcing a military that...
34:55
was of any size at all without the CIA knowing long before this particular event. They didn't even have enough room on this island. This island is tiny. And so the whole thing is just laughable on its face. Comparable, except that the Soviet discoveries would have been real because all of that shit did exist in UK from the United States. The American claims turned out to be completely phantom.
35:26
A correspondent at the Guardian of London reported that in the warehouse that contained the weapons, there were only five mortars, a recoilless rifle, one Soviet-made quadri-barreled anti-aircraft gun, and two Korean vintage British brain guns that were on display. Even the New York Times said significant stockpiles
35:55
of antiquated guns, including rifles manufactured in the 1870s. Years later, it was revealed that the U.S. intelligence report of 30 October had concluded that the caches of arms and weapons on Grenada were for the army and the militia and were not sufficient or intended to be used in overthrowing a government in any neighboring islands. Now, let me just point out something for all of you.
36:24
Do you know who would have written that assessment? Do you know who was the JSOC intel guy during Grenada? Alpha knows. Who was it, Alpha? The scary, scary, scary, scariest man alive. Correct. Tell the audience who would have written that intel assessment. I do not remember his name right now. General Flynn. General Flynn. General Flynn was the JSOC.
36:59
J2 at the time of the Grenada invasion. That's what all of these idiots keep trying to pin on him is his participation in Grenada. You see how this is all related? That would have been a very inconvenient intel assessment at the time. Grenada governments had been threatened with...
37:29
If, in fact, the Grenadan government had been threatened with destabilization for over four years by the United States, there would have been a significant increase in the amount of defenses that you would have seen taken effect, and yet there were none. The Cuban government announced that there was 784 of their people living on Grenada at the time.
37:59
There was 636 construction workers, mostly in their 40s and 50s, obviously not military. And that was confirmed by both British and American journalists. The remainder was 44 women who were doctors, dentists, nurses, and public health workers and teachers.
38:25
The world was asked to believe that there was a major Cuban military presence in imminent control, in threat of taking over the country. Yet the Cubans in Grenada were unable to even save Maurice Bishop, who supposedly was the communist, so you'd have thought that they'd at least had some protection for him and his government, which Castro had strongly supported.
38:52
The Cuban government had expressed in no uncertain terms its distaste for the military revolutionary council, which is what overthrew Bishop. Before the U.S. invasion, Castro had blamed Bishop's death on grave errors by extremists. Yeah, like the CIA trained guy. He also referred to Austin as the Pol Pot group.
39:21
because they murdered people. He had turned down a request from them for more troops when the American action seemed imminent. So Cuba would not even come to his defense, even though it was against the big boogeyman, the United States. The Russians, on the other hand, had indicated that they would support if they were asked. But in...
39:47
Within a couple of days, the Soviet Union was also out there condemning the U.S. invasion as basically a daring cavalry attack armed to the teeth. He referred to it as basically white settlers taking over an Indian village. The Soviet Union did. Also.
40:17
This would lead the Soviet Union to not send their Olympic team to Los Angeles, which is basically what the U.S. did when the Soviet Union was in Afghanistan. So they just basically returned the favor.
40:36
Lastly, the question of why Cuba or the Soviet Union would have needed Grenada as a springboard for their dastardly deeds in Latin America when there was already Cuba seems a little odd. After the invasion, after the overthrow of the Grenadian government, after the U.S. forces had killed and wounded hundreds of people, officials in the Reagan administration reported the New York Times, quote,
41:04
Acknowledge that in their efforts to rally public support for the invasion of Grenada, they may have damaged the government's credibility by making sweeping charges about Soviet and Cuban influence on the island without so far as providing any detailed evidence, unquote. That's a nice thing to do after the fact. Oh, and by the way.
41:31
We're going to get to the numbers. We lost quite a few Marines and Army guys. We lost 135 dead Americans for this bullshit. We killed 84 Cubans and we killed 400 Grenadians with this invasion. Just saying. The neutral movement under Maurice Bishop that had taken
42:03
power in March of 1979 by ousting the Eric Gary guy that was illegally elected in a bloodless coup. Bishop, on the other hand, was a London educated lawyer. And see, that's kind of weird to me. And you see that in many of these cases where you had like Castro was a lawyer as well. And you had Shaysha.
42:32
Cabrera, which, of course, was a doctor. And a lot of these, and there was another doctor, I believe it was in Panama, that led these counter insurgencies where the CIA would go in and try to take over these countries. And you had this professional corps. Could you imagine? No, I can't even say it. It's too ridiculous. If you took any one of the lawyers that you have in Congress and them being a leader of
43:03
the statute that would be willing to stand up against the United States and save their country. I mean, it's almost unthinkable that you have these people that are basically willing to give up what would otherwise be a very comfortable lifestyle to save their country. It's, it's crazy when you look at this stuff. So when he first came to power,
43:32
He realized that he had a formidable task. His first priority was to create jobs, schools, teacher training, which is why the Cuban teachers were there, adult literacy, a milk program for young kids. He wanted health care. He wanted agricultural co-ops, which, of course, then would require him to go head to head with United Fruit, the banana king.
44:15
A guy by the name of Nicholas Brathwaite, who was the chairman of the U.S. approved interim government following the invasion, said to the Guardian, quote, readily praised basically Bishop's government for giving Grenadians new awareness, self-confidence, national pride, and had to admit that it was a very hard act to follow. Basically, he was.
44:46
Maurice Bishop was murdered because he did too damn good of a job. And he spoke English. The World Bank gave the grenadine. And this is huge because you guys know that there's an economic boycott as soon as the U.S. or the CIA say they're going to take out somebody.
45:06
Even the World Bank went against the U.S.'s recommendation and gave the Grenadian government loans and graded them as a highly responsible government while Maurice Bishop was trying to do these new initiatives. They did have one huge criticism about not holding elections. And I want to give you his quote.
45:36
Who believe that you cannot have a democracy unless there is an every five-year election, and for five seconds in those five years, a person puts an X next to a candidate's name. And for those five seconds in those five years, they become Democrats. And for the remainder of the time, four years and 364 days, they return to being non-people without the right to say anything to their government.
46:05
without any right to be involved in running the government. So his philosophy in lieu of that system was he believed that democracy happens every single day and that he basically mandated neighborhood watch. Some people got mad because they had too many neighborhood meetings to go to. He mandated you participate in your government every single week.
46:35
And they had meetings, they had votes about what was going on in the local areas. And he had a completely different way of looking at democracy. He was not a communist. He wanted democratic involvement of all of the citizens to the extent that some people, that was their gripe. He made them work too hard for their government in support of not like being a slave to the government, but being involved.
47:05
that they didn't get to slough off and slack responsibility for their neighbors. The leaders of the nearby Caribbean states, particularly Tom Adams of Barbados and Eugenia Charles of Dominica, who were prime supporters of the invasion, evidenced hostility towards Bishop because they viewed him showing them up. The United States adopted its adversarial position almost immediately.
47:37
Washington recognized instinctively that the new Grenadian leaders would not fall easily into line in regards to the American obsession with quarantining Cuba. Grenada itself might turn out to be the long-dreaded beast, another Cuba. Bishop assumed power. The American ambassador delivered this note, and this is very telling. Here's the quote.
48:05
a possible counter coup, meaning taking Bishop out. It also believes that it would not be in Grenada's best interest to seek assistance from a country such as Cuba to forestall such an attack. We would view with displeasure any tendency on the part of Grenada to develop ties with Cuba. Do as we say, or we're going to come after you.
48:36
That was my part. The counter coup the ambassador was referring to was Bishop's fear that Eric Gary, in exile in the United States, would put together a mercenary island to come back or a mercenary army to come back to the island. He also, Bishop also feared the CIA destabilization program that he had observed throughout Central and South America.
49:04
Before 1979 was out, Grenada had discovered hidden transmitters in its UN mission. Let me read that again. Grenada discovered transmitters, eavesdropping material, equipment, in its UN mission. And representatives of the U.S. government were visiting travel agents in the United States spreading false information.
49:35
information about tourism on the island in order to begin a boycott. Over the next four years, Washington tried to harass Grenada in some other ways as well. With Ronald Reagan beginning in 1981, the U.S. aggressively lobbied the IMF and other international lending facilities to block loans to Grenada. We've seen this pattern over and over again.
50:06
But because Grenada had such a great economic record, they didn't necessarily agree with them. In the summer of 1981, the CIA developed plans to cause economic difficulty for Grenada in the hopes of undermining political control of Bishop. The operation was scrapped because of objections from the Senate Intel Committee. However, the Senate Intel Committee went on to say,
50:34
We have no idea whether they actually carried through with it because we would have no way of knowing. The main thrust of the American campaign against Grenada was in the form of propaganda. There was a theme that Grenada was a paid up member of the Soviet Cuban Nicaraguan terrorist network. Now, let me just dissect this for a second. Let's throw out the Soviet part for a second. We already know unequivocally.
51:05
the story about Cuba. We've went over it, right? That the CIA trained and backed Castro, but when Castro decided he was not going to allow the CIA to run his government and it become a drug haven again, he was thrown out with the bathwater. Nicaragua, we have learned repeatedly, that's the Sandinistas, were...
51:30
Actually, the Freedom Fighters and the Reagan administration funded the Contras all around them to overthrow that government because they wanted land reform and wanted to basically not even throw United Fruit out. They just wanted the land they weren't using back for the local farmers. So this is the group that the State Department and the CIA has put Grenada in, and they call it a terror network. Those people weren't terrorists.
52:01
The terrorists were the CIA that kept trying to kill them. And that was all done to discourage tourism, which was their number one industry. The propagation of this general theme was punctuated by specific accusations, which were simply lies. One early hoax was that, oh gosh, and this gets crazy, you guys.
52:31
A Soviet submarine base was being constructed on the south coast of the island. This went on for quite some time until one ingenious reporter went down to actually look and said that the sea was so shallow it would have taken them 10 years to build a submarine base there because they had to dig out the entire area. In February 1983, an official U.S.
53:00
Defense Department announced, apparently with a straight face, that the Soviet Union had shipped to Grenada assault helicopters, torpedo boats, and supersonic MiG fighters that would give Grenada an air force of 200 modern aircraft. It was an entire lie. The charge which received the greatest media play was the new airport.
53:32
So they had gotten they were going to use part of their IMF loan to upgrade their airport. Their original airport was kind of up in a mountainous area and was very logistically not convenient. And so they wanted a similar quality air.
53:53
airport that would compete with Jamaica and some of the other Turks and Caicos islands for tourism. And they wanted the designation of an international airport. And that has certain runway requirements in order to get the capability to fly certain level tourist aircraft in and out of. So the U.S. CIA State Department all began the rumor that
54:22
It was for military purposes to house these 200 military aircraft. In March of 1983, President Reagan told an American television audience that the airfield would have a 10,000-foot runway, but that, quote, Grenada doesn't even have an air force. And this is after they've been lying to him for months saying that there was 200 Soviet aircraft there. Who is it intended for?
54:48
The rapid buildup of Grenada's military potential is unrelated to any conceivable threat. The Soviet Cuban militarization of Grenada can only be seen as power projection into the region, unquote. He also had aerial photos of the construction site that was done with American spy flights.
55:14
there was other evidence that puts Reagan's analysis in question. At least five other Caribbean islands, Barbados, Jamaica, blah, blah, blah, all had airports of similar size. The building of the airfield was actually encouraged and recommended by the World Bank in order to increase their tourism. The excavation work was being done by a Florida company
55:43
And the Florida company said out loud at the time, he builds both military and civilian airports. And there was nothing he was doing that would have facilitated military use of that particular airport because none of the security was being put in place. It was strictly a civilian. And he's actually quoted as saying that. So somebody picked up the phone and actually asked him. So there's that.
56:13
Again, more lies. Further, the European common market had contributed money because they wanted to be able to go there. Because I don't know if you guys know this, and we talked about it briefly when we were talking about the Dominican Republic and it being a hotspot for Canada. A lot of the former that still have that loose tie of recognition, recognizing the queen like Belize and then obviously Grenada.
56:43
There is a large expat community and also a large tourism from those locations. So in the past, with that small rinky dink, British citizens, in some cases, in some of the documents I was looking at, had to fly into like Miami and then get a connecting flight down to Grenada because of the size of the runway. They could not have a big enough plane that could make the trip from London down to Grenada.
57:10
Because, of course, you have to carry more fuel. It has to be a bigger aircraft. And then they didn't have the runway to land there. So that's kind of what they were setting up. And Europe was helping them fund this. And then you have the United States lying about it and using it as the justification. Oh, and then, by the way, after this was fully funded by everybody else, after we invaded, the United States taxpayers had to pay to finish the airport. It was done on our dime.
57:43
There were also several instances of the Grenaden opposition press featuring entirely unfounded stories, the type basically that would be seeded from the CIA. And that involved it being a large military base, there were going to be missiles located there, blah, blah, blah.
58:07
Many of them were basically reprinted from stories that ran in other papers, like where the CIA operated, and basically was just like cut and pasted, which is another tactic that we see often with the CIA, seeding the stories.
58:28
And it was the same with political prisoners. Most of them were former members of the Gary's secret police. The government was afraid to release them. So that was another charge that there were people being held by the government. But they were actual CIA trained mercenary people that the citizens in the government were afraid to let out because they didn't want to be recruited by the CIA.
58:58
So there was that. Now, as for the invasion itself, 2,000 American Marines and paratroopers the first day, by week's end, 7,000 on the island, even more waiting offshore. Planes bombing everything, destroying all manner of structures, including a mental hospital, machine gunning positions, the coup force.
59:28
of Austin's was asking whose side that they were on. And one of the homes of the Cuban ambassador was damaged and looted by American soldiers. And on it, they wrote AA, which is a symbol of the 82nd Airborne with the message, eat shit commie faggot. That's a quote. Captured Cubans were used as hostages.
59:58
Ordered to march in front of American Jeeps as they advanced on Cuban positions, which is a violation. They basically were using them as human shields, which is a violation of the Geneva Convention. And promises of all kinds were made to the Cuban prisoners, said Castro, to get them to go to the United States afterwards to basically try to get them for intelligence purposes. None of them agreed to do that.
1:00:28
And here's another quote from a Marine. I want to F communism out of this little island. And then he went on to say, and F it right back to Moscow. Another quote, Britain announced that it was sending a destroyer to assist in the rescue, said the American radio station to the Grenadan people the first morning. And that was basically a lie. The U.S.
1:00:57
The UK wanted nothing to do with it. They were not in favor of them doing this, and they were aghast that it even happened. Grenadians who heard the broadcast, because keep in mind, they still consider themselves subjects of the Queen, and they recognized that. So that kind of gave some authority to these people, and it allowed them to believe that something good was happening for them.
1:01:25
And then, again, just to reiterate, 135 American military killed as a result of this, or killed or wounded, sorry. The land conquered. There remained the people's hearts and minds, which at the onset was done via radio stations and a huge propaganda campaign. Before long, you had the Psychological Operations Battalion for the U.S. Army.
1:01:54
that was put on the island, and they were driving all around on loudspeakers, basically talking about, basically blaming the Cubans on the island for killing Bishop, who had nothing to do with it, and expounding upon the communist threat that was all around them, which, of course, they knew was a lie.
1:02:22
In March 1984, visiting London journalists, this is their quote. The island remains visibly under American occupation. Jeeps patrol constantly. Helicopters fly over the beach. Armed military police watch the villagers and frequent the cafes. CIA men supervising the security at the courthouse. The island's only newspaper pours out weekly vitriol about the years of revolutionary government. This gruesome period in our history.
1:02:52
The pressures in this small community are heavy. So basically, they underwent a huge psyops to basically try to convince everybody there that the Bishop government had been awful. And in June, we learned that the schools also implemented a program that had been set up by the U.S. Information Services, which is another propaganda arm of the CIA, which...
1:03:21
It was an entire program called Grenada Return to Freedom. Like you've been you lost your freedom under Bishop. The invasion was almost universally condemned throughout Latin America. Only the American installed dictatorships of Chile, Guatemala and Uruguay, which we've covered in this series, supported it and came. And so you have.
1:03:51
I mean, just think of that. You have the dictators you install supporting the United States and the United States is feeding us a line of crap that we're doing it for freedom. Yeah. If only we had known. So that kind of summarizes the overall what happened. If y'all have any questions.
1:04:25
We'll go ahead and take the questions. I'm going to invite some of you guys that I see has questions. Did you have anything, Mr. Marine, you wanted to add? No, I just hope people are following you and going to your Rumble channel so they can continue to get educated on this. Oh, can you hear me? Ah, she can't hear me. If you can hear me, you can let her know. Yeah.
1:05:00
Colonel, can you hear me? I can. Okay. You can't hear Alpha? Apparently, Alpha, drop out, and I'll bring you back up, okay? All right. Now I've got to find the guy. Okay. Hang on a second. Ah, there he is. He's right here. Okay. Thank you. All right. Miles, go ahead. Good afternoon, Colonel. So was Operation Urgent Fury justified? Fury means rage in Latin.
1:05:39
A congressional study group concluded that the invasion had been justified, as most members felt that American students at the university near the contested runway could be taken hostage, just like the American diplomats in Iran. So that's what the committee came up with. Interesting.
1:06:09
The congressional investigations into any of these things are rubber stamping of every one of these things. If you haven't figured that out yet, you can every single one of them. I mean, when the three of us was doing Waco and you watch the.
1:06:26
buffoonery of the congressional inquiries into that and basically Chuck Schumer as a representative telling the people up there that the government did nothing wrong. He wasn't interested in anybody's input in the terror.
1:06:43
and the absurdities of them, and the involvement, quite frankly, of the U.S. military inside the United States. That all came out in the congressional testimony, and his summation of the entire thing was that it was perfectly legitimate. So, nothing new here. Go ahead, Mike. Alpha's back, actually. He was first. Okay. What you got, Alpha? I'm interested in your opinion.
1:07:13
First, I want to make sure everybody understands you have to be following the Colonel and her team. That's probably the most important thing everybody needs to do. The second thing you need to do is you need to hit that little box with an arrow in it that says share and put this space out there for everybody to hear. And if you know some people specifically that need to hear it, tag them in that comment. You guys...
1:07:42
don't truly understand how important it is for people to grasp the information that the Colonel is sharing. And it's, it's our responsibility as the listeners to make sure we get this information all over the place. All of the time, it texts it to your friends, email it to your friends. There's a little scissor thing at the bottom, clip this stuff and send it to your friends. I just, time is not on our side right now.
1:08:10
The closer we get to November and people need to start recognizing what Operation Gladio is, how it operates, the purpose of what they do it. Because unfortunately, we're going to see more and more of it. And they've mastered the science of this, that even when you're aware of it, it's still sometimes difficult to immediately recognize it. And I think Colonel plays a pivotal role.
1:08:36
along with their team and getting us up to par on recognizing these things. The one question I do have, Colonel, and it's unrelated to this, but it's super important to me, and it just unraveled yesterday. And before you laugh at me, Colonel, because I know you're going to say, oh, my God, Alpha, just hear me out here. All right. Yesterday, one of the most popular games in the gaming industry, Call of Duty, released the trailer.
1:09:04
to Black Ops 6. And we know with the boards, the boards identified that a lot of comms were taking place by the bad guys using gamings and gaming chats. But on this particular one, and I did a late night decode on it for anybody who wants to see it, but I really want you to see it, Colonel, because they're talking about Gladio in a freaking video game trailer. They have...
1:09:34
Bill Clinton in there, and I'll just read some quick quotes from the trailer. Bill Clinton says, truth is, and these are obviously animated versions, but it is definitely these people, the characters. Bill Clinton says, truth is, your whole life is a lie. Then they bring in Colin Powell, and he says, you wanted peace? So we hit the war, and now it reaches on into the shadows.
1:10:03
Then they brought Margaret Thatcher. And she says, behind closed doors where we hide the world's secrets. Then they bring in Bush Sr. I know I'm tripping you guys out. You guys thought I was crazy talking about a video game. They bring in Bush Sr. And Bush Sr. says, while we build your trust, the world falls apart around you. If you weren't so distracted, you'd realize. And then they bring in Saddam Hussein.
1:10:32
And he says, nothing is what it seems. But if it's the truth you seek, look in the dark. And then it had all these subliminal messages of truth and lies, and there's all this other stuff on it. There's a lot to it, Colonel. It's just a quick 20-minute video. I'll send it to you. But the second I saw it, I was like, holy smokes, Gladio in a freaking video game? I'm a little weirded out by it.
1:11:02
Well, Liza always, or doesn't it, always brings up predictive programming. And we just talked about this yesterday in a different space about how they do these things to discredit you because they will use this as a narrative to, oh, did you see that on a video game? Yeah, okay. This is not an accident.
1:11:33
Let me also add something here. My daughter, who's in her late 20s, is a lead guitarist in a Central Florida band that's fairly popular here. They play just like every weekend. And she edits all of the material that I put out on Substack for me.
1:11:56
I cannot tell you the number of times. For example, when I told her I wrote an article about Operation Northwood and she looked at me and she goes, Mom, that's the name of a band. And so if you go and you listen to their music and I can't tell you. And she's a big gamer. I mean, she she's very, very good at it. And so.
1:12:23
I cannot wait to get off this call because I'm going to call her at work and I'm going to go, Megan, you got to come over here. We got to watch this trailer together. Because again, she's went through all of Operation Gladio exposure with me via the written word as you guys are doing it via the spoken word. And she's also my brainiac, graduated with a bachelor's degree at 19. So this stuff just like boom, boom clicks with her.
1:12:51
And so I'm very, very excited, Alpha, because I've got the perfect person to watch that video with because I want her take on. Because, again, she's went through all of Call of Duty. She used to be in, like, professional tournaments for Call of Duty. So was I. That's why this one rocked my socks, Colonel. And you guys will love it because I show the trailer.
1:13:16
But as I dove into it, there's other connections from Call of Duty that fall into it. Like they have a website. And the website is thetruthlies.com. And I show it on there. It has six channels. You just got to watch it, Colonel. And when you do, you're going to be like, holy smokes. Alpha, is it overstating it to say that learning about Operation Gladio changed your life? It did.
1:13:46
It made a lot of things that I thought I had a grasp on become even more clarifying. And through that, that newfound clarity, I realized how much connections that are there all the way up into like, and we've talked about it, Colonel, my own story. And, and it's just, once you've got your Gladio glasses on, I mean, you just, they don't come off anymore. They can't because you can't unsee it. I agree. Go ahead, Mike. What you got?
1:14:19
Hey, guys. What's going on? This conversation took a really quick turn that I find really interesting just because of the fact that both Alpha and Colonel, your daughter, having experience with video games and professional tournaments. I was playing in the early 2000s before MLG got actually to where it was now. So I appreciate that. But Alpha, I wanted to add.
1:14:42
If you're getting your mind blown by this one Call of Duty trailer, I recommend going back through and revisiting all of the other Call of Duties, all the way back to, like, maybe Modern Warfare, like, its first iteration. Like, the one scene that is very well known for being attributed to Call of Duty of, remember, speak no Russian before they commit the trial of slaughtering a bunch of civilians inside of the airport was awfully reminiscent of events that took place
1:15:11
took um took place in in Moscow with that concert hall uh Colonel that I know you're aware of and so but there is but there's one thing that um and that and that feeds back to the conversation that Colonel I know that I brought up with you in one of these spaces and may have been the one that Bridget was referring to where they they uh they slow drip a lot of the exposure to a lot of these strategies in through Hollywood and video games in order to try and um weaken or straw man
1:15:41
The arguments pushed forth by people like ourselves trying to suggest that they're doing this in real life. It's like, oh, well, you saw it in a Jason Bourne movie or in a Call of Duty game. It's clearly not real. It's like, well, that's a bunch of bullshit. We know that's that's that's not how these things operate. But I wanted to go ahead. No, I just wanted to also point out to people that goes to a limited hangout. So it's a bit of truth wrapped in a bunch of lies.
1:16:08
So when you call out the lies, it discredits the truth. Exactly. I have one question, though, for you, Colonel, real quick, because I was listening and working on some other things. What was the involvement of General Flynn that you mentioned? So the intel assessment that was done, I'll go back to it specifically because I don't want to misquote it. After the fact.
1:16:41
And it talks about... And before you... I apologize. Before you continue, that's the General Michael Flynn that, like, is very popular today. Yes. It basically... Yeah, I'll find it. Okay. And then while you're looking real quick, I will reiterate what Alpha just said of, like, people that are finding this interesting and, like, want to help circulate the information. Like, I get it's, like, nauseating and kind of cumbersome to share it, guys.
1:17:11
But like this stuff, like this stuff is getting suppressed really heavily. Like I finally got to the point of where my own sub stack is now getting suppressed pretty heavily because I wrote about fifth generation warfare and all the fact that it is a it is a war without consent that involves every single soul that is of the populace that is both allied and the enemy. Like everybody is a target in this and everybody is taking part in it, regardless of whether they're aware of it or not. So I just.
1:17:40
keep in mind guys like you like again reiterating what alpha said like keep circulating the stuff get it like every additional single person that gets aware of like how these military operations are intertwined with just about everything that's involved in the headlines today and is constantly suppressed and pushed into the underground is like the more people that we get aware of it the better and like we can help actually save america from the trajectory it's on right now mike
1:18:09
That's absolutely true. I was just going to say, Mike, before you go, did that happen to be the one where Kevin Spacey was the voiceover? No, that was Call of Duty. I think it was Infinite Warfare, if I'm not mistaken. That was still relatively new. That would have been, I want to say, back in 2014 because I was playing that before I actually went off to basic training.
1:18:37
um so like so that's that one's still relative no that was advanced warfare i'm sorry um but then like so you're gonna you're gonna still want to go back even further back to like maybe maybe the original very original modern warfare or modern warfare 2 and then you can start seeing the gladio influences in everything especially when you get into the first black ops and you start talking about um there's literal like missions within the game or the campaign mode of um
1:19:05
seeding like discontent in other populations and pretending to be other other military outfits i'll have to go and look into that thanks for that info because i i do remember the one with with kevin spacey he was and it's been a long time ago it's probably like 10 years but i remember on that one he was i think like the ceo or the owner of a corporation his son dies but he gets into the united nations
1:19:33
And I think that's the one where there's like a bio. I just I remember that one was creepy as hell. Yeah, he's basically he's basically playing an Eric Prince character with Blackwater having a private military contractor that was capable of rivaling any major superpower country. And that was that was where they first that was where they first brought in like the whole use of exoskeletons in the military. You got my follow, bro. That was awesome. He's definitely a good follow. He's definitely a good follow.
1:20:08
So Patriot Tsar is next. Then we have Cap and Miles. I still see your hand up, but we'll hear from Patriot Tsar first. Hi, thank you for having me up here. I was going to call out for part of this time. And I remember thinking that something seemed kind of fishy about this whole thing.
1:20:45
At the time, I really didn't question what my government was doing. But since I've been following this, if people think something is fishy, they should question it and see what's going on. But thank you for letting me sit here. Thank you. Absolutely.
1:21:17
You are absolutely right. You're up. Well, good afternoon, ladies. And what a wonderful presentation. It was absolutely wonderful. And it's just another proof. I'm going to call it a proof because it's certainly a proof that we see going on in the world today. You guys all remember the old.
1:21:46
Paul Harvey. Well, some of us are old enough to even have actually heard it on the radio several times, you know, if you were the devil. Now, if you're a God-fearing person like I am, that means you also believe in Lucifer. And if you're Lucifer, and as it says in the scripture, he has control of all the kingdoms, you know. Which kingdom are you going to take the firmest control of? The most powerful. Folks, if you just, you don't have to look very far. This is one of many.
1:22:16
And evil perpetrates through many different lines, but it is centralized. If you haven't seen the degradation of our society over the last 40 years, and if you think we're at some pinnacle or some height, we're not. If you look at medium income in 1992 at $36,000, medium household income at $36,000, here we are.
1:22:43
For 2023, it was $72,000. We're not getting richer. We're getting poorer. Just because you have cheap Chinese electronics doesn't mean you're having a better quality of life. You're not. And they're doing this intentionally. And I appreciate the gamers. I really do. It adds color, right? It gives you a way to define and put a definition that many people can bond with. But if you just go to Telegram, and if you have...
1:23:11
a lot of legitimate, real sources, I can tell you that this presentation is lighthearted. If you knew what we did in Tajikistan in 2022, in December of 2022, your stomach would roll over and rot. You know, we have a huge problem and we need people like Colonel. We need Alpha Warrior, a great friend. We need the co-host up here, Mike. We all have to be working together to tell the truth.
1:23:40
Because the only way we win is through truth. I agree 100 percent. That's why we do what we do. I got to ask one question because I'm very concerned. What I'm concerned about is the attacks organized by NATO against Russia's southern early warning system over the last five days. Now, Putin has just come out and said missiles are going to be raining down into.
1:24:12
into NATO facilities. He's done with this. And what are they trying to do? What are you guys? They're trying to provoke him. To start a war that we can't win? Correct. They want a lot of dead people, don't they? Yes, like billions. So for those of you that are not familiar, what Cap is talking about is Ukraine targeted Russia's over the horizon.
1:24:44
radar system that is within Russia. And that was sort of the final straw for Putin, for those of you that aren't familiar with what's going on with that. And by Ukraine, yeah, by Ukraine, she actually means NATO, because Ukraine is a satellite of NATO. They're not doing anything on their own. The CIA is basically running this covert war. Correct.
1:25:10
Um, before we move on, I do have a question. I see somebody that's kind of waving ultra mega three, six, nine. If you want a mic, please feel free to request it. Just give me the thumbs up and we'll go ahead and pass it to you. Okay. Colonel regarding caps. Good to see you, man. I haven't seen you in a space in a good minute regarding the statement and question he made. What are your thoughts on? Cause it's my speculation that.
1:25:40
Even with the response that Putin has done regarding everything, but specifically even Ukraine, I think those conversations that him and Trump have, that the reason he's showing so much restraint is Trump gave him the heads up that it was going here. And so that's why Putin has been so measured in his reactions to things happening. And I think that's why November's election is so important. And I think that's why as bad as things are,
1:26:10
I think there's still restraint from what we've been told our adversaries. What are your thoughts on that? So I mean, like the patience of a saint. If you look back over the course of from Putin's beginning until now, the whole time that he's been in leadership in Russia, you have to understand.
1:26:38
all of the shenanigans that we have done. The whole Chechnyan was a gladio operation. We imported Mujahideen and Al-Qaeda to basically foment a war and did lots of false flags, killing both Muslim Russians and Christian Russians in that area to antagonize him.
1:27:07
And I also found out when I was looking into that area that on top of all of that, you had, well, I guess we shouldn't talk about that because it's going to come out in our thing tonight. Watch the show tonight with Alpha and myself. What you're going to find out is another scam that we did to screw Russia. We have done so many things to provoke.
1:27:37
Russia into, and I need to go back just so that for those of you who may have been new to Operation Gladio, the use of these tactics, this terrorist tactic in a paramilitary capability on behalf of the international syndicate goes back to a philosophy where these people actually think what I'm about to tell you.
1:28:05
They believe Russia does not have any reason to exist. They want the world partitioned the way that they want it. And they believe that Western Russia is actually part of Europe and it belongs to a pan-Europe with Germany in charge.
1:28:27
They believe that everything east of the Ural Mountains belongs to Asia and should be under the guise of Japanese, Pan, Asia. And then all of these people sit literally at a round table and decide how the rest of us get to live or die. That's their mentality. That goes back to the Fabian Society. And so their ultimate goal is the destruction.
1:28:53
Well, the only way that you end up destroying Russia is you have to get the strong man that's holding it together out of office so that you can put one of your corrupt cronies in there. Then you're going to fake a war and then they're going to separate and blah, blah, blah. So you can just see if you go back and read their own writing. OK, that is what they said was going to happen. And it also ties into the subject today. The one thing that that whole crowd.
1:29:21
who were the single biggest racist people that I have ever seen in my entire life in their writing, their own words, fits right in with what that video I was trying to play you says. That the fact that the leader of Grenada was black and he spoke English and he had a different view of democracy made him a huge threat. So huge that we would sacrifice.
1:29:52
135 Americans killed or wounded in order to shut him up and change that entire island around. He was already shut up because they killed him. But it was the CIA trained people that killed him to begin with. So that's what I'm telling you. There's no end to what they won't do. And there's no amount of people or dead bodies that is too high of a price because it's not theirs.
1:30:22
Hopefully that answers your question, but you're right, Alpha. This is huge. So we have Miles has his hand raised and then Josh and Shepard and then M.O.T., please. You mean Mike? I don't see a Miles. Is there a Miles? Mike, go ahead. OK, I just wanted to add real quickly, like keep in mind that when we're talking about.
1:30:54
uh nato getting involved in the whole ukraine conflict that that uh directly means the u.s and from our uh from our like bitcoin veterans group like like we've got a quite a few um guys involved and they're helping us kind of like just source intel and everything uh apparently first cav has started uh switching over their painting of tanks and patterns over to from desert tan to olive green so take whatever that means uh like whether you know grain of salt or whatever
1:31:22
And then there was one other thing I wanted to add, but I apologize. I lost it. So I'm going to pass the mic. Okay. Who did you say was next? That would be Josh Decker, then Shepherd of Truth. Okay. Hey, guys. Real quick, just a couple questions. I appreciate everything that you're doing. First, I've seen a couple of conversations with you, Colonel, with a guy named Gray. And I just had a quick question about this.
1:31:53
What is your perspective on on that communication? I know that you've mentioned, you know, the Gladio side of it. And he claims that he you know, he doesn't have an MLS or anything. He claims that he's part of these black ops teams. And I have done some deep dives into his in his claims. And I find him very believable. I just was curious if you could maybe for those who don't know who he is, kind of describe what you're.
1:32:20
perspective is because I've only run across your guys' conversations a few times. And I, I am not going to speak about him. Um, number one, I don't want to give him any more air. Oh, okay. I, I find about him is I find any time, um, since, and this has been going on for 10 to 12 months that I've been doing this. There are people who,
1:32:59
And I don't know if there's a bigger power. I'm not going to say that. I know what I'm saying and what I'm revealing is important to all of us. And it's stuff we have to know. It is also things that have been purposely withheld. Please mute your mic because we're getting a little feedback, okay? It's stuff that has been purposely withheld from us. So in that light.
1:33:25
Whenever you are exposing this information, there are people that either on their own or with some other entity behind it that are sent at you in order to take you off topic. So I talk about specifically things that are related to Gladio. What I have noticed over time is...
1:33:54
there has either from a religious bent or the child trafficking bent, like claiming their own victim status and stuff like that coming into threads that have literally nothing to do with what they're talking about. And that, we all care about people who have been victims of human trafficking.
1:34:23
I am not using venue in which I have to talk about Operation Gladio because there's like literally 100 much bigger accounts than mine with much bigger reach that he can feel free and they have much more resources to investigate his claims. I don't. I don't have any of those anymore.
1:34:48
My clearance expired. I can't vet anything he's saying. But I can say this. When you come out, I know the things that I was involved in in the military. I would never come on a space and tell anybody I was involved in a whole bunch of black ops missions and I can't tell you what any of them are. To me, that entire approach.
1:35:17
in a public forum is a scream for attention and has no validity in reality. I have never met a single operator that is truly an operator, and I've met many of them, that would ever come on a public forum and do both of those at the same time. I'm a victim, and I'm involved in all of this special ops stuff. You just don't do that.
1:35:47
That's my 30 years of experience in watching. And trust me, I have so much experience in this. I spent 10 years of my officer career in HR. I did joint dimers. It was the attempt by the DOD to consolidate all of the different services, military.
1:36:08
personnel systems. It was a total failure. They wasted billions of dollars trying to do it. And I'm going to jokingly say this, but it's absolutely the truth. It's because the army spends so little money taking care of their people. Their personnel systems sucked and none of the rest of us wanted to have our systems that dumbed down. So it was a failure. It was a failure from the beginning. But there was this huge push to do that. So I know well, way more than most.
1:36:37
personnel officers of all of the other services because I said like every month I had to go to a meeting either at one of our personnel centers for like the better part of three years. It was like I could have stuck a finger in or a fork in my eye and it would have been less painful. So having said all of that, there's very little about a military career path that I don't know.
1:36:59
In all services. I know what the normal trek is in a Navy officer's career. I know what it is in a Marine. I know what it is in the airport because we had to map it all out. I know all of this shit. And so I can sit in a bar and I can listen to somebody's story. Like there's a very famous guy who's very wealthy here. And he retired out of the Army as a major.
1:37:24
And he tells this story. This was back when I was single. I was sitting at a bar with my now current husband. And but we were just friends at the time and several other people that I went to high school with. And he sits down and somebody happened to mention that I was a colonel. And so, of course, he's trying to give me his bona fides. Right. And I'm looking at him. And the more he talked, the more I knew he was lying. You know, he was talking about being at.
1:37:54
at Arlington and the whole guard duty and all that other stuff. Well, hello, I know you have to be single. I know you have to be certain tall height. I know that you all kind of, it's like a four year thing. You have to like, you're shoveling poop for the first couple of years. So he not only did that, but then he was in special ops and then he was in something else and he was only enlisted for five years. And then he got his officer thing. And I'm like,
1:38:18
And then you retired as a major, which means you would have had to been passed over because you got way more time if you was only in five, 15 years. You're a major by the time you're 12. None of that adds up. So I'm just doing the math in my head. And so when he got up and walked away, because basically most of the people had kind of zoned him out, I looked at everybody at the table and I said, there's not a damn thing that guy just said that was true. Not one part of what he said was true. And you just are able to do that.
1:38:47
After so many, you know, you just know. And that's nothing about that guy's story rang true for me based on what I know. And I'm not going to say that he is flat out a liar. I'm just going to tell you nothing rang true. So that's what I got on that one. Thank you. That's very helpful. Can I ask one more question real quick? Is that okay? Yes, of course. Okay, cool. I just wanted to ask your opinion. Who's next, Cousin It?
1:39:20
Oh, can you hear me, Colonel? Can you can you hear? Can you hear him? I don't know who it is. So, no, I can't hear anybody. OK. Hello. Can you maybe drop me down or I don't know. Why don't you drop down and then come back in here? In the meantime, Mr. Mr. Bombadil.
1:39:55
You're up. Thank you, everybody. I really appreciate this. I'm not from the US, of course. I am from Mordor, a.k.a. Sweden. Let's call it the ally.
1:40:20
oligarchy-wise at least, and very involved in the Gladi operations and lots of nefarious actions. I will give a quick introduction, if it's okay with you, a quick introduction, if it is okay. I'm not going to be long-winded because I wanted to jump in on the Ukraine and all this.
1:40:44
We need to keep it to the topic here, if we can. I know we've got a little off base, but we're... Yeah, I know that. So I wanted to pay my respect to all the veterans as well. I've served, not in the US, but, you know, I had to, yeah. It is a long story. We have veterans over here as well that have been involved in all kinds of these businesses.
1:41:12
or theaters, as we say. The Scandinavian, just say Scandinavian, that's the way up north. The military here has been involved in Afghanistan, in Vietnam, and all of these kind of things. It interconnects with a certain...
1:41:38
Let's call it the tech saviors, the ones that host the communications and so on. So therefore, this is very interesting. The Gladio operations is in the beginnings of it. It is connected very much. Do you have a question? I'm not going to be long winded. I'm just trying. You're already long winded. I need to know if you have a question.
1:42:09
Yeah, the question would be then who provided the Soviet Union with the data capability to have the radars and so on. And that is with regards to CHAP, who talked about these things that are essential. So that is my question. Of course, I know the answer, but I will put the question.
1:42:38
There is one small country that provided the Soviet Union with the capability to... Okay, let's move on. Who's next, Cousinette? We got Cap and Tim. Tim, let's pick you and then we'll go to Cap. Thank you, Colonel Towner. It's good to hear from you again. I always enjoy coming into your spaces. How are you? Great. How are you? I'm good. I'm working again. I'm out here on the road.
1:43:17
You made a post yesterday about Suitland, Maryland, in regards to a post from Kash Patel. Yeah. And you tagged Ivan. You remember that? Yeah. So I and I do have a question at the end of this, but I actually hauled specialized plastic pipe down to Fort Belvedere and Fort Washington several years ago. They were burying.
1:43:46
It was schedule 80 is how thick the pipe was for underground communications. And they were the the guys working there when they unloaded me wouldn't tell me exactly how deep it was going, but it was it was hundreds of feet. And I was concerned back then because I thought, well, underground cables that still seem susceptible to attack no matter how deep.
1:44:16
You know, you plan it if the enemy knows where that is. So my question was, is that area where I was hauling Fort Belvoir and Fort Washington, was all of that connected to Suitland? No. Fort Belvoir has the Defense Contracting Management Agency there. They control like a shitload of money. DLA is there. Defense Logistics Agency is there.
1:44:42
As a matter of fact, when I was first stationed in the mid-90s in the Washington, D.C. area, I was up there for six years. Fort Belvoir was an open base. It didn't even have guard shacks. They didn't put guard shacks there until after 9-11. You could drive in and off. They had open national hunting on base there. It was an Army base, so it was not very well maintained, but it was an open campus.
1:45:09
They've moved some additional missions now that it's a secured facility. So if you were delivering after 9-11, they do have some more sensitive missions there. They couldn't put them there, obviously, before that. And it's a huge campus, huge.
1:45:32
Because they didn't have a secure gate. Now they do. So they have loaded it up with some of the consolidations. Sulin, Maryland is a place that is used by the National Archives as well as other entities that is this humongous vault, A, B, and C, that are like bigger than national football stadiums underground.
1:46:00
And it is where billions of pages of classified information is stored. It is right down the road from Andrews Air Force Base, which is where I was at for the first two years. It is in a nasty neighborhood. And literally, you could have a team go in there and release every piece of.
1:46:25
And most of it's not classified because it's actually classified. It's classified because it's embarrassing. And there has been people that have been allowed to go in there. And some of the people on particular projects, one of my friends who also ended up retiring as a colonel, was part of the major D class that went on like in the 2000s. And she said that she oftentimes came across.
1:46:54
in particular agencies' files, things that were what looked to be intentionally misfiled because of the sensitivity of them. And this is a common practice in the CIA. So what happened is that you will get a release of information from this place that ends up
1:47:19
having stuff that doesn't belong in that. And then it gets released and it had to do with the JFK assassination. So some of the stuff that we now know had been purposely misfiled in somebody else's like personnel record or some other project's record. And the people that were working at Suitland didn't necessarily know it didn't go with all the rest of the stuff. So it got inadvertently released in a FOIA request when it didn't even belong where it was supposed to be.
1:47:47
or where it ended up. And the CIA has, after the fact, admitted that they intentionally misfiled things so that they don't have to disclose them for different FOIAs or the board process that happens after they disapprove every single FOIA you ever send them.
1:48:04
So that's Suitland. That made more sense. Yeah, that's Suitland. Thank you very much for that. At that time, I had a I had a transportation worker identification card. And I don't know if you are familiar with that. But as a logistics truck driver for 45 years. Yeah, I had to have I had to have the full black ground check to be able to go into military bases and ports and stuff. I've since let that go because it got so convoluted and so full of.
1:48:33
bureaucracy. My dad used to deliver to federal prisons. Yeah, I've done that a few times and won't go again. But I went down to Andrews too and delivered that same pipe. But Fort Washington is the one that really, really stuck out in my head because that place, I mean, even though I had that background check done, they basically ripped my truck apart when I came in there. I mean, they went in every nook and cranny in my truck before.
1:49:03
I was allowed on the base and I was just I was like, wow, what the heck's going on here? This seems like a pretty tight fortress compared to the other ones I've been to. I was just wondering if you had anything about Fort Washington. I know that's the data center, if I'm correct on that. It is. Yeah, there there's a lot that goes on there. I have only ever been on Fort Washington once and it was for a ceremony. So.
1:49:29
Yeah, it's a very interesting place, too. I don't know too much about their mission there, though. All right. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. So before we go on to cap, Josh is actually back and he had indicated that he had a question. So he did get bumped out. So sorry about that. Thank you. This is a thank you. This is more related to yesterday. Can you guys hear me?
1:49:56
Yeah, I can hear you. Go ahead. OK, great. So yesterday you had a really interesting space about Haiti and it reminded me of something I read years ago. It's actually in a book by a guy named Dan Pena, who is kind of a controversial figure. He was an investment banking intelligence and he also, you know, basically does multiple like.
1:50:22
investing, investing, uh, trainings. But anyway, this guy wrote a book and he's on, it's free online. And he talked about something in Haiti that I wanted to ask you if you come across Colonel, but he talks about his relationship with this guy named Constantine Costa Gratsos. And this guy, he oversaw the Onassis, uh, shipping, uh, uh, magnet, you know, for the Onassis, uh, for Aristotle Onassis. And he's, he claims in this book, um, that he,
1:50:50
that Constantine Costagrazos, basically running this multi-billion dollar shipping magnet, and also an oil magnet, he planned an invasion into Haiti to take out Duvalier, the baby doc, not Papa Doc, but baby doc. And he's claiming that he not only did it there, but also worked with Augusto Pinochet.
1:51:20
and Emil de Marcos from the Philippines. He's claiming that he worked with Colonel Mike Williams, and this guy is the last commander of the Rhodesian Cavalry, according to his book. And this was in the early 80s, okay? So he's saying that Costa co-financed an armed invasion of Haiti and convinced three unlikely counterparts. Costa convinced Mobile Oil.
1:51:48
to get an exclusive deal there, the Vatican and the CIA. Have you come across this? Yeah, those are not unlikely agents at all because they work together all the time. But go ahead. What I'm asking is, have you come across this claim in this book? No. What I would like you to do is, if you wouldn't mind.
1:52:09
Tag me in a post that has the name of the individual and just remind me, Colonel Mike Williams, and I will look into it. Give me the name of the book. I would love to look into that because it sounds exactly like the stuff that we discover. Really? Okay. Yes. And you know Colonel Mike Williams? I don't know him. I have came across his name a couple of times. How about Lieutenant General Mitchell?
1:52:40
He also mentioned in this book, I'm sorry, I'll link you to it so you can look into this because it blew my mind. It's just random in this book. So I don't talk very often about this, but everybody needs to understand that when I refer to the International Syndicate, it is the oil companies, it's the railroad companies, it's the United Fruits, it's the Carnegie's, it's all of those, the Rockefellers, all of those, the bankers.
1:53:09
the movement behind the use of Gladio operations, which is simply a paramilitary capability to affect what they want to bring about. So if you are the mogul in charge of mobile oil, you have at your use, the CIA, the Vatican and everybody else that you've infiltrated.
1:53:38
Josh, please mute for just a second because there's like lots of feedback. You have at your use these paramilitary forces to bring about anything you want. And that's what we found when we were talking about Chile and Penashe, where you had the ITT guy and the copper guy. Those are the reasons why we go in and we overthrow countries and install dictators, because the dictator is owned by.
1:54:07
this international syndicate, as is the senior military people, and then they continue to rape, pillage, and steal all of the resources. That's why they wanted Nicaragua. That's why they wanted the Contras to install their own dictator there and not have the independent guy that represented the Sandinistas, because united.
1:54:28
fruit, wanted to monopolize and capture all of the land and resources so that they could control. If you have independent people producing, that's competition. They're not about competition. They're not capitalists. These people are Satanists and they're globalist oligarchs. They want control. So behind every one of these coups is a handful of
1:54:54
these oligarchs in the international syndicate that wants to dominate whatever resources that country has. These are never done for the people. They're never done on behalf of the United States. They are done by this hand-selected oligarchs that have access to the paramilitary capability because of the amount of money they contribute to it. So that just needs to be said a million times. Okay, so we've got Cap next.
1:55:23
Well, we have a lot of hands raised. Do you want me to go ahead? Are you there? I'm here. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Oh, boy. If he's speaking, I'm not hearing him. I'll drop and come back. Okay. Okay. While he's dropping out and coming back, Colonel, can you hear me? Miles, do you want to go while we're trying to get Kat back up?
1:55:56
Oh, Colonel. Bridget, you want to text her real quick? You can't hear Cousin It either. Thank you. I'm trying to get, well, there's Cap back. Okay. Let's see if we can get him going. Go ahead, Cap. All right. Yeah, they're gunning after you, Colonel. One of the things I wanted to say real briefly is we've got to get the Colonel over 25,000 followers, kind of make her immune, okay? And number two.
1:56:26
Be prepared for a lot of attacks, TOS attacks when you're in space if it's too much truth. If you guys can hear me, a lot of you guys know who I am, like Alpha does. This is my backup account. And this is what we want to avoid for Colonel and for Bridget and for Cousin Hit, is that they don't have to have backup accounts for speaking truth to power. That's why Parsons isn't here. That's my original account that most people know me by.
1:56:54
Colonel, but I'm currently, again, permanently suspended, probably for eight months again, because, you know, I dare speak to a member of the House of Commons with truth. And, you know, it is what it is. So, I mean, what you were just saying, Colonel, is dead on. That's Operation Gladio in Ukraine. It's State Street that's got a billion, or excuse me, it's not a billion.
1:57:22
They have $1.2 trillion invested in Ukraine. You add in Vanguard and BlackRock, and you have a total Western capital investment into the government of Ukraine over $2.5 trillion. This is what it's all about. It's a grab. And that's Operation Gladio. I love it. There you go. I land with that. That's exactly right. Thank you, Cap. Miles, what you got? Yeah, I was just going to get back on topic a little bit.
1:57:54
So back in the day, I didn't trust Reagan at all. Not so much Reagan, but Bush. And I was kind of paying attention to what the hell was going on. But my question to you, with the operation that they ran in Grenada, is it more motive? Do you think some of the motive is what these operations is to run a live fire?
1:58:23
operations to gather data and intel for future operations because a lot of mistakes were made and people that's my question thank you yeah so there's probably um if when you there's there's so many answers to that question um to be a short answer yes but um
1:58:50
That was not the reason for Grenada. The State Department and these international syndicates cannot have a competing alternative when it comes to that's outside their control. So their biggest fear is losing control. And any time that they felt that there was a competitive alternative.
1:59:19
to the model of government that they label democracy in a controlled environment, it had to be snuffed out. So if you're going to, and that's why they created the weaponized version of the word communist. I'm not saying communism doesn't exist, but our government personally
1:59:47
and on purpose weaponized that term to be anything that was other than a government form that they approved of. It didn't have to be communist. It didn't even have to be leftist. It didn't even have to be anti-democracy. If they didn't like it, it was going to be weaponized, termed a communist government, and the people involved were all going to be dubbed communist.
2:00:14
And then you see the brainwashing that occurred of what they were writing because people like Alpha and myself were part of the psyops. We actually were brought up to believe that the communists that were in these countries, and they were not communists, were our enemy.
2:00:36
And that's what motivates people to do things that they wouldn't otherwise do. We were part of the psyops. And they have to do it the way they're doing it in order to be able to pull off the unmitigated mass murder of innocent souls. So this has been a concerted effort from the get-go.
2:01:01
And then in hindsight, you know, when the people come home, they have the ticker tape parade and, you know, you're all heroes and you save the world again, when in fact it that the entire thing was a lie. So the the it.
2:01:21
It's frustrating from that perspective to have to go call out my brethren in the military and it's done not with any joy on my part. Trust me, because I love those people. But the it it is so well planned. But I do believe that the.
2:01:46
to go to the other part of your question in motivation. I do believe the Phoenix program was originally set up in Vietnam in order to quote unquote practice the use of it. And then it was used in Chile and it was used in Paraguay and Uruguay. And every time it was used, there's certain adjustments that are made to it.
2:02:15
that then allow them to better use it here. And every country has its own obstacles. I mean, obviously, our Second Amendment creates a lot of obstacles for them. And every iteration of them using that program with the kidnappings and the ratting out and the torture and blah, blah, blah, all of those things.
2:02:47
they end up perfecting the use of it to the point they can bring it home. And I honestly believe that. I honestly believe they've been, over the last, you know, 30 years, they brought home pieces of every one of those operations and subtly embedded them into the psyche and the,
2:03:14
Government entities, you know, Alf and I've had this conversation. I believe that there are cells within our FBI that are known to them to use because you see the same people over and over. Like when we did Ruby Ridge versus Waco, you see the same people doing the same shit that's basically illegal.
2:03:40
Those types of things, when you see them play out with the same people, that means that they're not everywhere, as Cash said yesterday. It's not everybody. They have these, and it's like the CIA. There's a CIA within the CIA, and they even have the separate civilian version of it called the Enterprise, which is a bunch of fake companies, fake banks, and everything else that they run on the side that's not accountable to anybody.
2:04:10
So they have been doing this for a very long time and they've gotten very good at it, unfortunately for us. Miles, go ahead. Well, I guess what I was trying to get at is just the Operation Urgent Fury. When they were setting that up, you know, like in the planning stages of it, because the Navy SEALs were involved, you got the 82nd, the Rangers.
2:04:38
They were trying to coordinate something on a small island and see how it would play out. It was kind of a controlled event. And like I said, it did not go well for them. And so I'm not talking about Gladio. I'm just talking about how the military ran this operation for future data.
2:05:01
in other conflicts? I guess that's my question. Well, I think you're basically looking at it maybe from the point you're trying to make is militarily, if you were actually a legitimate, operating a legitimate military operation, it would not have gone. That's not what they were doing. And that's the whole point I'm trying to make. This was not legitimate to begin with. It was not done.
2:05:29
in order to, quote unquote, defeat an enemy. They were doing something that is not a traditional military operation. And when you try to look at these things and make them make sense as a traditional military operation, it's going to look like it went terribly wrong. And you didn't get the same thing with Vietnam. Vietnam was never ran to be an actual winnable war. It was...
2:05:59
It was done to be a very long-lasting military involved because we were running drugs out of there, we were running people out of there, and we were running weapons out of there. And when you look at it from that perspective, which does make them a Gladio operation, Vietnam looks bad from a military perspective because we got our ass handed to us, but not from the actual reason why it was being ran. They made trillions of dollars.
2:06:29
They got weapons spread all over the world. They had people human trafficked out of there by the yin and yang. Airplanes of kids unaccompanied. God knows where they ended up. That was the real purpose of it. So you're never going to make it make sense if you're actually looking at it from a textbook military perspective. Go ahead, Sally. Great space as usual.
2:06:55
Guys, make sure that you are following your hosts and your co-hosts and make sure that you have your notifications turned on. This information really does get suppressed. Make sure you're liking it. Making comments below really helps boost the algorithm too. So just do your part that way to try to get the word out to people. And I just had a question for you, Colonel. It's not really a question, but just an observation. I DMed you, but the last two weeks...
2:07:23
because I live near an air base, there have been so many fighter jets flying overhead throughout the day, random times, nonstop. It's insane. Would you mind telling me which base? I will tell you privately. Okay. All right. That's good.
2:07:46
Yeah, because at different times, depending on who they're kind of informally linked up, they may be getting ready to deploy. And I still have a lot of friends that kind of know what the rotations are. Obviously, in the lead up to a deployment, you're going to have a lot of people coming in, getting last minute calls on like over water, that type of thing, in-flight refueling.
2:08:13
especially if they've got like reserve or guard units there. So yeah, lots of different things that could be. What else, Miles? I got, Miles is going to be my last one because I got to run. All right. Thanks, Colonel. CanCon gave you a shout out this morning. Guys, put your Gladio glasses on and look at the country of Georgia. It's a key focal point in that region. It's kind of like a candy for them. It's a little diamond.
2:08:42
So they're playing with Georgia again. They definitely are. Keep your glasses on. They definitely are.
2:08:48
And Sally brings up a good point. While y'all are here, if you do comment in the purple pill, either spend a couple of minutes trying to find an article that's related to the topic. So other people, there's a lot of people who are not necessarily good researchers, but if you give them links, they will definitely go and read them or videos to watch.

If you guys post things in there, it does help us get more eyes on this material and I'd greatly appreciate it. I have had to take issue with Twitter a couple of different times and they have kind of removed, but they are definitely throttling our account. I mean, I have the screenshots to prove it. I don't like whining about that, but it does limit our effectiveness in getting the word out, which is something I think.
2:09:42
we would all benefit from. So anything you can do to help, I would really appreciate it. So, okay. I will be a little late tomorrow. So I'm going to go ahead and say that I will not be doing the broadcast until one tomorrow. I have a funeral I have to go to. And so we will be broadcasting at one o'clock tomorrow. So thank you for being here. Thank you, Colonel.
