0:00 Hello, everybody. Good afternoon. I'm waiting for Bridget and Cousin It, and we're going to get started. For anyone new, I just want to tell everybody that, oh, there she is, that we hold mics until the end of the show. This is more kind of like a one-hour lecture series, and then we

0:30 open it up for questions and comments at the end. We have two earlier shows. If you've not seen them, I highly recommend watching them. It puts the rest of this in context. Bridget, I'm shooting you over a map that has all of the islands. It was posted in our signal folder as well. I just wanted to dig it out and use it.

1:00 Hey, I got my checkmark back. I must have been approved. They temporarily swiped my checkmark and said that I was a bad girl. Oh, well, they probably know something. I've been hanging around with Cousin It a little bit too much. I think she's tied up underneath her sink right now, by the way. She may be tied up for today's space.

1:27 Okay, so yesterday she's under a jeep and today she's under a sink. Yep, she's always into something. Yeah, I was going to say it's hard to keep up with her. Okay, so today we're going to start with an article that appears, it's like an archive article that Bridget and Cousinette found for us.

1:56 is basically like in the Army SOF area originally. The guy that wrote it is a doc, Charles Briscoe, B-R-I-S-C-O-E. And I'll shoot you over the link in a minute. Just send it directly to Tiffany. That way she doesn't get, I think she's on the phone right now.

2:33 Okay. So it starts off by saying in mid-April 1951, the CIA in Japan formally consolidated its assets in Korea. And I'll just put a caveat here. MacArthur, during the war, did not want OSS in his theater. He didn't get what he wanted because they were all over Asia.

3:04 He was very much not in faith. And I don't think he's a good guy, by the way, very, as we talked about yesterday, but whatever. He very much believed that he was in charge. And so it's not any wonder that the CIA, after it stood up after World War II, would want to be in Korea because he was in Japan. So just wanted to put that out there for you as context.

3:34 The Office of Policy Coordination, OPC, which were the covert operations section, and the Office of Special Operations, OSO, which was the intel collection and spies group, were united to create a clandestine service field mission for the first time in Korea. Now, I want to remind you guys, we've talked about this before,

4:05 Things like this kind of tend to get put in the waste paper basket. The Office of Policy Coordination was the entity within the State Department that did all of this prior to World War II. It was at the time during World War II headed up by Frank Wisner. Frank Wisner, when the Office of Policy Coordination moved lock, stock, and barrel over to the CIA, he went with it.

4:37 Its cover name was JAK, J-A-C-K, Joint Advisory Commission, Korea. The CIA's role was already confusing to American military commands, but combining assets enabled the agency to best provide intelligence to the Far East Command and 8th U.S. Army, which are the ones that are in Korea. And they are the ones that we talked about yesterday.

5:07 that basically created a civil war inside of the South in order to get all of the dissidents out of there so they could prop up Ri to be the new president of South Korea. Okay, as explained in a pamphlet, CIA, the name of it was called CIA Paramilitary Operations in Korea, 1950 to 1951.

5:40 All U.S. military services, the British Marines, the CIA, and the Republic of Korea, which is basically Ri's area, military and civilian intelligence conducted special and intelligence operations during the war. My purpose is to correct, clarify, and expand Soldier Sailors in Korea, Jack Maritime Operations, which was published in 2006.

6:08 Emphasize realities of air crew rescue operations, separate JAK special missions group activities, which were covert maritime operations from the U.S. special activities from 51 to 53, and reveal critical roles that were played. The military veterans described JAK paramilitary operations in Korea, while this article is centered on the last two years of the war.

6:35 CIA internal compartmentalization of intelligence operation and paramilitary activities meant that few personnel could explain JAK organization or the full scope of what happened in Korea. The previous article titled CIA paramilitary operations in Korea described how the effort to build and escape an evasion overland corridor for airmen

7:02 when the guerrilla units dedicated to the mission were destroyed in the winter of 1951. During the war, hundreds of agency-trained guerrillas and intelligence agents were inserted into the North by parachute and boat, and they never returned. Now, you guys may remember this when we talked about Europe. There was an effort by...

7:33 the West after the war was over, and frankly, even during the war, where they continued to parachute people into the area that eventually became the Soviet Union. And the same exact thing happened. And this was before, obviously, before Korea. Korea was after that. They had complete and utter failure in trying to create

8:02 most of the not organic stay-behind capability or Operation Gladio in the Soviet Union. What they did have was what was there and put there, like the Bandera units in Ukraine, by the Nazis. They very much did not want to be in the Soviet Union. And so they continued to participate with the West in Operation Gladio-style sabotage. But once those were all gone,

8:32 And they were hunted out. Not that they got them all, but because they did not. The insertion, the non-organic ones are the ones that they have the most trouble with. So this is just another reoccurrence of this kind of crap that they're doing not working. The lack of CIA familiarity with the social controls of.

9:01 the northern area provided lots of limitations to their ability to navigate. And this author, like all of the rest, you have to understand, and I'm going to say this every single day we talk about Korea, North Korea at the time was not communist. We are in the aftermath of World War II.

9:30 They had been a colony for decades of Japan. So most of their leaderships were fascist in nature because that's the way they were treated by the Japanese. There are large corporate entities. And let me explain this to you because this is very important. The difference in, and I believe in being accurate with labels.

10:00 Communism is the government's own and control of the economy. So you don't have private companies. You have bureaucratic large governments administering what would normally be private enterprise like in the United States. So that's a communist structure. The economy is owned and controlled by the government. A fascist or totalitarian

10:31 government, you still have the oligarchs. And as a matter of fact, the oligarchs are basically in charge of who gets to be the dictator next. They control everything. And I would argue that that's what Operation Gladio, that is the international syndicate, they have moved outside of a country to a global environment. You have all of these large oligarchical companies controlling.

11:00 Who gets to be the head of state in all of these different countries? And like in the case with Chile, if the people rise up and say, fuck you, we don't want your leader, and they overthrow their government or they elect the wrong guy, the syndicate just comes in with the CIA and now the post-World War II intel, NATO, UN troops, and overrule the will of the people.

11:26 And they install their dictator. And then the dictator turns his forces on the people that basically ignored the international syndicate. So that's kind of it in a round shell. But anytime we talk about Korea, post-World War II, they had industry that was ran by families from Japan. The void in running all the Japanese out allowed...

11:56 the quote unquote elites of Korea that had been subjugated to Japan. And not all of them had been treated as slaves. Like every place else, they have their own like rats and people that they use for inside information. Those people took over the companies that they had been working in.

12:21 under Japanese leadership. So they have an instant, almost, elite grouping. Now, in the North, because it was much more industrialized than the South was, this is even more prevalent. And the North very much, and so did the South, and they were working through negotiations on how to unify, and the separation became...

12:51 Because of the division after World War II, the USSR had been given stewardship to get the Japanese out of the north and the U.S. had been given stewardship of getting the Japanese out of the south. So there was a natural divide for that reason. The country had not been divided before that. And as a result of that, the Soviet Union didn't instantly the next day as.

13:21 because they held the governorship of the North in expelling the rest of the Japanese out of the North, didn't wave a magic wand and say, okay, you're all communists today. They very much was working to unify the peninsula and allow them to have elections. They were working hand in hand with the US to have elections. But it became very apparent to the people that were

13:50 in the OSS element than the CIA, that the lead contender in the North was much more popular and much more populist and would likely be the one that would win a unified election. They didn't control him. He didn't even really want to talk to them because he knew from previous experience what they had already done in Vietnam.

14:22 which when the French came back in after they expelled the Japanese, they turned it back into a colony. And he didn't want that. So the U.S. has to bring in a Korean living in the United States, Ri, R-H-E-E. They fly him in. They prop him up in the South and say, OK, you're going to be the new leader. Now, if we can work an election and be able to rig it so that you get to be the entire country's president, great. But if we can't do that.

14:51 then we're not doing this whole unification thing. And that's kind of the background. So you have to be very careful when you read the history of them labeling the North immediately a communist entity, because what we learned yesterday with declassified CIA documents is the South, under the control of the U.S., embedded stay-behind Gladio units in the North.

15:21 And when MacArthur did his thrust up through northern Korea to the Chinese line, we actually were bombing on the Chinese side of the line. That's what got the Chinese involved. The Chinese got pissed off because they had already fought over in North Vietnam a skirmish with Chiang Kai-shek.

15:53 with the U.S. backing, because the OSS at the time, Paul Helliwell, had been working with Chiang Kai-shek to basically overthrow Mao. And so they didn't want the U.S. anywhere near them. And they tolerated the U.S. in Southern Korea. But when MacArthur made his move up the peninsula, they're like, oh, hell no, we ain't going through this again. And they immediately come to the border.

16:22 But it was MacArthur and U.S. forces that were bombing inside of China. And we have actual CIA documents verifying this. And so that aggression was looked at by China as a repeat of what they had already went through during the war with Chiang Kai-shek forces and Paul Helliwell in the OSS over in the Vietnam area. So that's kind of the background of everything.

16:51 I'm going to try and stay as close to this guy because I want you to understand his point to be objective. But I want you to understand when he calls these people communists, there's a lot of discretion that needs to be used at this point. And I'm not saying there's not a such thing as communism. I'm not saying that they're not communists. Now, I'm just saying.

17:20 At this point, that's very debatable. Okay, so allied deep behind the lines activities failed for many reasons. And this allied deep behind the lines is a really funny way of saying, indirect way of saying Operation Gladio. This is Operation Gladio, stay behind units that the South embedded in the North. Guerrilla dependency.

17:48 I'm going to go ahead and put Trumpfrog as a co-host as well since Cousin It isn't available. Sounds great. Thank you. Okay. Guerrilla dependency on air resupply compromised base camp areas and facilitated systematic elimination by the security forces in the north. So basically it didn't work. Plan CIA command and control island bases.

18:16 at each end of the corridors never materialized. The offshore safety net, coastal smuggling, fishing fleets to search for downed airmen failed because radios were not provided to the Korean forces. Hence, the CIA in Japan had no control over these contracted assets. Without American military advisors to ensure discipline and focus,

18:45 Bored guerrilla leaders conducted unconventional warfares against targets of opportunity. And again, that's a very vanilla way of saying that our forces actually trained them to do guerrilla warfare. But guerrilla attacks on local infrastructure caused more work for the residents and limited support died, meaning that no one liked them being there.

19:15 The peasants had to make the repairs and serve as village guardsmen. Continued guerrilla agents and their losses did not deter Jack or the UN-affiliated commands. And remember, the UN is not really a UN command. It is the U.S. with a handful from a couple of other countries that they cobbled together to call it coalition, when in fact, it was a U.S. operation.

19:43 And agencies from UN agencies sending more North Korean refugees behind enemy lines. And basically what they had done was they were trying to get people that had lived in the North, pay them to come get training to be a guerrilla and then relocate them back to the North. Now, this is a quote from who eventually becomes General Singleb, S-I-N-G.

20:16 L-A-U-B. He actually is a major during this operation. And to find him there because he's the big CIA guy, even though he wore military uniform. Here's a quote from him. The very presence of guerrilla units behind the lines, regardless of how long they lasted, disrupted their lines of communication and harassed the North Korean military. That's a true CIA agent saying no matter how many people we got killed.

20:44 they did a little bit of work. That's the translation of what he said. Because they all got killed. And he doesn't give a shit. Okay. Let's see. He goes on to say, despite abysmal, let's see, despite abysmal results, we had to continue trying. The very presence of guerrilla units behind the lines, regardless of how long they lasted, disrupted their communications lines.

21:15 Agents had to be inserted if tactical intelligence was to be collected. And we, the CIA, still had the covert mission. And I love the fact that he says we, meaning the CIA, yet he's wearing a military uniform. The aircraft snatch recovery system explained in Jack Air Ops order in Korea.

21:44 was another CIA attempt to satisfy the mission. The quid pro quo for agency independence was to establish a guerrilla-operated corridor across North Korea, just south of China. They called it MiG Alley, to assist downed aircrew and to provide intelligence until the end of hostilities. The director of intelligence, who was also a retired,

22:14 military general running the CIA, Walter Bedell Smith, satisfied the concerns of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington and General MacArthur by combining assets in Korea. Navy underwater demolition teams, marine raids on North Korea infrastructure, all demonstrated how to harass the enemy. But the U.S. ships in support broadcast

22:43 intentions and reduced effectiveness. The covert coastal raiding by specially trained guerrilla forces accompanied by airmen and American advisors were used for intelligence collections while the CIA motorized, excuse me, wellboat raiders were attacking Soviet steam mine storage sites in North Korea. CIA, let's see.

23:15 The Office of Strategic Services, the old OSS, European veteran by the name of Hans Tofte, T-O-F-T-E, who also worked in the Office of Policy Coordination where Wisner was, had other ongoing projects. His paramilitary operations chief, a Marine Corps major, Vincent Dutch.

23:45 had realized that the guerrilla raids were futile. And after his lack of success, he tried a few different other things. And based on the success of the Marine coastal raids in the World War II Guadalcanal mission, they proposed creating a standing CIA guerrilla force called Special Mission Group.

24:16 Specifically for covert operations and intelligence collections, concerns about compartmentaling the special military group, referred to as SMG, from other guerrilla activities and training prompted Hans Tochte to establish a more isolated base on a small island in the southwest part.

24:42 In the interim, Major Kramer needed additional experienced military trainers and advisors to work the thousand volunteers assembled at Yondou, Y-O-N-G-D-O. The old Japanese Army island base was fairly secure because of the entrance to the causeway linking it to the peninsula. Hooking around Pusan Harbor was always guarded. He recruited an army captain.

25:12 Crawford and a Navy Lieutenant JG, George Atkinson, James Pagnello, who was a first sergeant, and a whole bunch of other people. Let's see. And then they began training on raiding force tactics, marksmanship, and all kinds of weaponry.

25:41 Captain Hunt Crawford told me to build ranges. We had a thousand inch range to zero individual weapons and 200 yard combat marksman range. I traded boost for Japanese pistols with the two sergeants in the local Korean area. Those old weapons got me explosives in a bulldozer with an operator and an engineer.

26:10 When our ranges were done, we built the locals a volleyball court. The Japanese army base before World War II had been transformed, surrounded by open water on three sides. We just watched for ships entering and leaving the harbor because the SMG would conduct ship-launched and supported raids, ambushes, prisoner snatches, and destroyed North Korean coastal bridges, railway,

26:40 and other targets. Classes were assigned amongst the Americans based on ability. They learned how to operate rubber boats, amphibious raids, do demolitions like explosives. They taught swim class, learned how to use hand grenades, mines, booby traps, blah, blah, blah. And then they have a whole list of guns that they were learning how to shoot.

27:07 They learned hand-to-hand combat, guerrilla tactics. Now, they're teaching not just some of the Americans that don't know all of these equipment. They're teaching also these paramilitary guerrillas how to use all of this shit. And the primary SMG delivery vehicle were Navy destroyer transports. And let's see.

27:37 Late on the night of January 1952, one of the guys that were trained in this particular island led a group of 45 men on a guerrilla raiding party to destroy a railway bridge. Shortly after emplacing the explosive charges, Atkinson spotted a 15-man enemy patrol approaching. He directed naval gunfire so skillfully that the 14 enemy soldiers were killed and one was captured.

28:06 Veteran calmly supervised the placing of detonators and basically blew it up. At daylight, derailed locomotive at the bridge site was rendered useless. Later on, training began focusing on this since that was a very successful mission for them. Let's see. Casualties in Korea were heavy in the winter.

28:37 He was there were a lot of people were surprised and irritated at how the orders was coming from Tokyo and the directions that they were given. And he talks a little bit about it. And then he says there was when he complained about this diversion from combat and some of the other things that they wanted him to do. He was basically told just to shut up and do what he was told. Let's see.

29:10 There's another part in here. The military officers detailed to Jack paramilitary operations brought a wealth of combat experience. And then he lists a whole bunch of them. The junior intel officers were the weakest link straight from Ivy League colleges. Most of them had zero paramilitary skills.

29:36 And at most, they had learned how to parachute at Fort Benning. The CIA history of this time, this is a quote, quite frankly, with the exception of hardcore cadre, green and untried case officers were substituted for qualified, experienced officers because the latter was in short supply, unquote. Another guy says an exception was Nestor Sanchez, who became a career CIA case officer.

30:06 and chief of the Latin America division, said Major Singlet, military officers. And by the way, this Nester Sanchez, who earned his stripes in Korea, if you look him up, this guy is a very interesting guy. Let's see. Most of these...

30:36 that I read earlier has to be translated. He had a degree in, basically, he was like a psychotherapist. And that's what made him very good at what he did.

31:04 in the whole CIA schema thing. Also, let's see. Yeah, he was involved in the Iran-Contra that we're learning a lot about in my most recent threads. He was involved in couping Guatemala. He was also the guy that was the CIA

31:33 assigned to Manuel Noriega until we decided we didn't like him anymore. And he's, okay, so he was linked to all of the illegal arms deals in the Contras with Oliver North. He was kind of basically their in-theater guy. So you see how important Korea was.

32:04 When you go back and you look at the training that it provided to these people who basically went on to do even more killings. For field operations, the CIA team had a select cadre of strong experienced sergeants and seasoned officers. These Americans trained and advised indigenous operational elements of JAX.

32:34 their local paramilitary guerrillas. Colonel Vander Voot knew firsthand the value of a paramilitary NCO. In lieu of any special preparatory training, most sergeants were sent to guerrilla and intelligence agents camp to assist in training volunteers. Thus, newly arrived Sergeant Fosmere and Master Sergeant Walter Hoffman were assigned to one of the most senior lieutenants.

33:03 Tom Curtis. This new officer had basically been in the OSS, which, again, the OSS was supposed to be just civilians, but you find this intermixing of the military with this civilian operation, and it continued throughout the rest of their career.

33:26 They weren't functioning as actual military officers. They were functioning as CIA agents embedded in the military. They also were trained a 30-man guerrilla cadre in marksmanship, hand grenades, mines, booby traps, which sounds exactly like what they set up at schools of America. So all they did was take whatever they've done here in Korea and duplicate it in South America. Let's see.

33:58 Two of the SMG missions were full-up unit and they turned out very disappointing. The CIA guerrilla raiders launched from a place called WANTUK, W-A-N-T-U-C-K, to ambush a North Korean truck convoy. They were to capture some drivers and identify the cargo. After a perfect insertion and undetected movement into the ambush,

34:27 No enemy vehicles appeared. The withdrawal went smoothly, but the guerrillas were upset. A few days later, rough seas and high surf prevented the execution of another rail attack. A frustrated Major Kramer, while sitting in the offshore boat, allowed one of the sergeants to fire several high-explosive rounds.

34:58 at a candlelit defensive bunker 600 yards north of their landing site. And they didn't even know what they were shooting at. They were just shooting in the dark, literally. Coincidentally, the Americans, let's see, went on another jack maritime operation.

35:28 After a night of hard drinking, a Mustang lieutenant decided that a prank would loosen up a few stiff-backed Jack officers. He used a fire extinguisher to wake them up. The next morning, Lieutenant Curtis was standing before the mast in Colonel Vanderbilt's office. That means you're in trouble. Fortunately, the two senior Marines available spoke up on his behalf. They suggested that Curtis, instead of being...

35:57 reassigned, be sent to command a trawler that had been purchased to cover the air crew recoveries. It was crewed by Koreans. It would be the first jack vessel to operate from a new island called Yodu, Y-O-D-O. And there were veteran OSS officers at this particular place, two paratroopers agreed, and three

36:28 seaman went aboard the trawler and basically rescued any of the downed airmen. So I'm giving you a little bit of the details behind the scenes because I want you to know basically how elaborate these operations are. These are not like fly by the night, short term, get in there, do a bunch of crap and leave.

36:59 They planned on being in these locations for a very long time and orchestrating the terror campaign that eventually ended up, you know, basically killing not only internally to the south, but all the way up through the north on their way to...

37:31 China to the northern part of Korea. And then, of course, you realize that once China got involved, they pushed them back all the way. So basically, we were, and I want to make, this is so important. We were not really fighting a peer initially. You had the USSR that was not even,

38:01 equipped to fight a war. They were there just to expel the Japanese and try to reinstate government in northern Korea. They weren't there to fight a war with the U.S. That's eventually what actually happened when they started getting attacked.

38:22 And then again, once we overstepped the bounds and started taking the fire into China and pissed off Mao, there literally was a war. And unfortunately for us, and you have no idea how much this pains me, where we have constantly, it's been constantly driven into our head how great of a military we are. We got our ass kicked.

38:50 Once the Chinese got involved, they pushed us all the way back south of the 39th parallel. It was ugly. It was very, very ugly. And the stay behind units that were supposed to pop up and fight the Chinese from behind, yeah, where they were all dead. And so the entire Operation Gladio dial warfare that was supposed to happen as we pushed up through the north and established those stay behind units.

39:19 They were, if we were to get overrun, supposed to pop. Well, they didn't because they all got discovered. Now, again, granted, this was the first attempt at us using this kind of a tactic. But again, really not a good show at all. If you're actually advocating true.

39:48 determinants in warfare. It was not a good showing for us. Just a little bit more of this. Numerous U.S. military officers and sergeants served in JAK. Few knew about the other paramilitary and intelligence activities that was going on around them. Each mission was compartmentalized on a need-to-know basis. It was the same in all of the guerrilla commands that were set up under the CIA.

40:19 Since air and sea assets were shared by the entire entity, a lot of blurred command lines and coordination occurred. The boats that were on the books of one unit would be needed by another one. It was difficult to arrange repairs of boats because they never knew when they were going to be there because you didn't know about what the other classified missions that were being ran out of the supplies were. It was basically a...

40:48 cluster F from a logistic standpoint. It says it was, let's see, the assets were controlled by dysfunctional headquarters. That's not unusual. Military compartmentalization enabled Jack to hide its operations, even from their own people, to their own detriment. Major Sigleb says,

41:18 My old friend from an OSS Jedburgh, which was the UK's version of Operation Gladio, and his Chinese days, because he was part of the Paul Helliwell Shinkai Shack group, one of his friends acted as a liaison. And he talked often to keep about having to...

41:46 do things to keep feathers from getting ruffled because everybody was like on a short chain. And it said by 1951, however, the static combat situation hampered paramilitary operations and limited all intelligence collection because all of their people were getting slaughtered. Then came an even more unanticipated, bigger problem for them.

42:17 Because of all of their attacks in the north, there's this huge flood of refugees from everywhere. And they were going all over. You had refugees going north that were in the south because their entire villages were getting destroyed through their own internal fighting. And then you had, when the attacks were going on in the north, you had them coming to the south. It was just, again, a big muddled up mess.

42:49 The people that were in the South shaping what they wanted to have in the aftermath as far as control were not talking to the people that were, because it was compartmentalized. They were not talking to the people that were conducting operations in the North. And so oftentimes an operation in the North would happen and a flood of refugees would come and that totally screwed up what they were trying to do in a shaping.

43:19 operation in the South in order to keep re-propped up to be the president in the aftermath. So you couldn't kill too many people because then you're going to get, you know, a full-on revolt. And so, again, just a total cluster. I hope I'm painting this picture good enough for you. Let's see. That's about it from this article.

43:56 So hold on just one second, because I wanted to talk about this other thing. I don't even know where to begin with this one. So this is an organization that is definitely Operation Gladio-ish. Every time we go into one of these countries, we find these pockets of...

44:33 they don't call them Gladio, but they have all of the patterns of a Gladio unit. And this one is called White Shirts Society. It was a secret terrorist organization that operated in the Korean peninsula. And it was basically

45:06 describing, you remember how I was just telling you that we took people from the North and paid them to come to the South and we trained them as paramilitary to do the Gladio stay behind. So I'm just, and this is just off of Wiki. This isn't like an in-depth study or anything else. I want, I'm going to read this to you and you tell me that this is not exactly what they are describing.

45:31 It says it's a secret fascist terrorist organization that operated between World War II and the Korean War. It was mostly composed of young North Koreans that were in the South. It was militantly anti-communist and also opposed to the trusteeship of Korea, which is basically making them all one entity, especially under the Soviet civil administration.

46:01 in the North. And keep in mind, the civil administration was not Soviet because Kim had been a captured person as a colony, just like everybody else in the North. So they weren't Soviet.

46:27 The Soviet Union had just got there in order to help get the Japan out. So they weren't Soviet. Because the group operated in secret, much of the information on it was derived from interviews and limited documentation. It's still subject to a certain amount of uncertainty. And let's see, its successor, which was founded in...

46:55 In 1944, a number of prominent assassinations and assassination attempts have been attributed to this group, including an assassination attempt on Kim Il-sung, who would have been the target of this CIA assassination attempt. That happened in 1946.

47:25 There was also the killing of Lou Woon Hung, and I'm going to spell this name, L-Y-U-H, and his last name is W-O-O-N-Y-H-Y-U-N-G. He was the biggest, loudest proponent for a unified Korea.

47:54 And they killed him. And this was when we were there training paramilitary people to do exactly this. Also, he was killed in 1947. So they attempted to kill Kim Il-sung in 46. They killed the loudest proponent of unification in a one election in 1947.

48:23 And then they also killed a guy by the name of Kim Koo, K-I-M, and his last name is K-U. He was a very important, he led the effort for an independent movement prior to the World War II because he wanted not to be a colony of Japan. So he was very much a prominent leader.

48:50 He also was the head of the Korean provisional government and a strong advocate, as was the other guy, of Korea unification. So in other words, the CIA moved in and killed all of the people that wanted a unified peninsula prior to this, quote unquote, Korean War. So they basically kind of went through.

49:21 Obviously looking for all of the people that could have been a leader to bring the Korean peninsula together and assassinated them and then launched their activities. So going on about this white shirt thing. In 2001, South Korean researchers discovered a declassified document in NARA, the National Archives, that linked.

49:53 the White Shirt Society, to the U.S. Counterintelligence Corps, which was the Army's organization used both in the Pacific Theater and in Europe that was the military counterpart to the OSF. So they have documented links that the U.S. was training these people in this organization.

50:24 It says multiple interviews with former members said that they were trained and sent to spy on the North and gather military information for the U.S. in order to stir local discontent. Damn, that sounds a whole lot like Operation Gladio to me.

50:45 The activity slowed after the establishment of that new government in the South because they had already got what they wanted. They'd killed a bunch of people in the South, kowtowed them, propped up Bree, and then magically some of the killing stopped. So I wanted to bring that piece of the pie up so that you can understand how significant this is.

51:16 And how, again, we just go country after country after country. And we find all of these tenants of Operation Gladio hiding. And again, this is on Wikipedia. This isn't hiding. It's out there. You just have to learn how to search on the right things to find them.

51:43 And then just put all the pieces together, which Bridget and Cousinet and myself have been able to do in a crazy good way to be able to present this information. I've got one more day's worth of Korean information, which we will go over tomorrow before we begin moving on to a couple of the other countries. And just so that you know.

52:13 We will definitely do Indonesia. That's going to take several days as well. It's huge. We will do smaller ones as far as short segments like Burma. And Vietnam, obviously, is going to take several days because we were there for so long. And you need to understand all about it.

52:40 um all of the pieces because a lot of what we saw in vietnam being uh uh set up like the phoenix program you're seeing here today um in the united states um so we will spend um quite a bit of time on that and there's a few other ones over there that we're going to do that provides you a good um overview um we'll probably talk about the philippines again both all aspects of it because we were there like three different times screwing them up

53:09 And kind of throw in a little Operation Golden Lily and the gold as part of this series so that you understand how all of that kind of ties in. But I think it's important that we go around to most of the other countries so you can learn a little bit about them and where they're at. Because the Philippines and Operation Golden Lily kind of ties them all together because Japan went and stole from everybody during World War II.

53:38 and put all their shit in the Philippines as far as treasure goes. So that's kind of the overview of where we're going to go from here. But we'll do one more day in Korea tomorrow. So with that, if you guys have any comments, you can request a mic and come on up. Can I just add that I am just continually flabbergasted, blown away at how everything is not.

54:11 What we were told, not even remotely close to what we were told. And once you see through all this, it's just sickening, almost. The depravity. It definitely is. I agree with that 100%. Does anybody have any? Oh, there's Stellar. Let me give her a mic. You got her? Yeah. I think so. Okay. Do you got anything, Stellar?

54:49 Yeah, I was going to say the same thing that Bridget was saying. I came in late, but what I did catch is just it is mind blowing. And I think that when my mom was talking about things that were going on, it was probably, you know, definitely during this occupation stuff. You know, I just read some of the things about the massacres and the graves that were being dug up and things. And it's unbelievable that there are people on this planet that would.

55:19 do this kind of stuff. And, you know, that was the testing ground, I guess, the beta for a lot of the other stuff that's been going on ever since. And that's just what's so mind blowing that there are people that are just beyond evil. Yeah. And, you know, because we were, we went right from Korea over to Vietnam in a covert way. Most people don't realize how soon we were in Vietnam, but.

55:44 We basically agitated in the North before we ever even started anything in the South and Vietnam because we wanted France out of there. We were actively working against France. And for those of you who don't know, France came into Vietnam in the immediate aftermath of World War II because they'd been there before Japan had kicked them out. And so while Ho Chi Minh went to the peace conference in Europe,

56:12 to try to get recognized as a total country, they had different designs on them, too. They wanted a foothold there. The French wanted back in. Ho Chi Minh did not want them back in. And basically, they snubbed him at the peace conference. And he went back and said, over my dead body, will the French get back in? So, of course, the French came back in.

56:39 And he fought them tooth and nail the whole time. And then we basically kind of sucked up to him and did some really, I won't go into it because we'll go into it when we get there, but did some really awful things to dislocate a whole bunch of people and then use those dislocated people just like basically we've done here in Korea. And this is the exact same thing we did over and over and over again. This was done in our name.

57:08 need to know what it was, what was done. And we need to use that information to hold our government accountable in the future. So anybody have anything else? I see cousin it down there. Yeah, she's working. I threw her a mic, but I think she's possibly still trying to be a part-time plumber. Okay. And we love her for being so,

57:49 Versatile. Resilient. Versatile. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Beyond impressed at how versatile she is. Yep. She's tough, man. I'm telling you. Yeah, it's definitely not all talk with her. Noam, did you have something? Yeah. Just basically referring to what you were talking about involving, just a second ago, involving the...

58:23 the Japanese loot being buried in the Philippines, which I know is not the main topic of today, but this is sort of tangential to that because you might be familiar with this book called Gold Warriors by Sterling Seagrave. I'm going to be totally pissed off at you because you haven't looked at my Rumble channel, have you? I confess I have not.

58:51 OK, we did a book review on that. We spent probably two or three weeks going over that entire book. So, yes, I am very familiar with that book. Right. Well, not to steal anyone's fire, even though it's been out for a while, because this is just a comment relating to the author, Sterling Seagrave. He was back about 15 years ago. He was on Education Forum.

59:17 And he made two very interesting comments because, as you know, he was a longtime so-called China hand. And he mentioned that he had been also an editor for The Washington Post in the early 1960s. And I'm not sure if you mentioned this, but he said he knew Phil Graham of The Washington Post. And he said that he believed that he was murdered by the CIA.

59:47 And as you probably know, that was August 3rd, 1963. And I'm telling you, if there was a loose cannon in in all U.S. media that you wanted to take care of, if you were going to do a domestic CIA coup d'etat, it was Phil. OK, you probably know about the background of that because he was having a tug of war with his wife over control of The Washington Post and Daddy Warbucks over here.

1:00:15 It was Catherine's dad that really was the money behind the Washington Post. The other strange death he commented on was there was a Washington Post intelligence reporter by the name of Larry Stern. And Sterling Seagrave said he also believed that he was murdered in 1980 at the age of 50.

1:00:45 And I've gone back and looked at the articles of Larry Stern in the Washington Post. And boy, there's some real hidden gold there, just like that gold was buried in the Philippines. He was on the LBJ case. What's LBJ's little helper again? I forget his name.

1:01:16 the scandal that LBJ was going down with on the... The killer? I'm sorry? The guy that killed everybody? No, LBJ's little helper, Bobby Baker. I'm sorry. Yeah, he was on... Well, he had several. He had an assassin that actually worked for him that took out all of his enemies. Oh, yes, he did. And yeah, but he was in the Washington Post. He was doing the Bobby Baker articles well into 1966, which surprised me because I always heard that, you know, that investigation.

1:01:46 But anyway, I'm running on. But Larry Stern's articles running right through the 70s are very, very interesting. And boy, do they contrast with the way, you know, the Washington Post and New York Times covers the CIA today. But yes, I just wanted to say that about Sterling Seagrave's comments. Thank you. Appreciate it. SR71, I see you come up. Did you have something to say?

1:02:16 No, other than, as usual, another stellar, shall I say, session here. And thanks to all the people who join and add to the conversation. It's always good to hear from everybody. We all get more, as we all get more educated, myself included. I'm typically floored every day the Colonel has something to say. And this latest round she's put out with Colonel North is just unbelievable.

1:02:45 Thank you, Colonel. Thank you. Cousin It, you want to chime in? I see you took your speaker. I did. I'm going to try to be pleasant. Okay. But I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed. And it has nothing to do with anything except the plumbing is kicking my ass. Yesterday it was a Jeep. Today it's the plumbing. Okay. Have you gotten to the Mooney's owning the Washington Times yet? No. That's for tomorrow.

1:03:17 Oh, sorry. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. Mooney's on the Washington Times. So, yeah, whatever you're reading in those papers, take with a grain of salt. It's like a limited hangout thing. They're going to tell you half-truths. And the reason being is when you start debunking the story, it also discredits the actual truth that's in the story.

1:03:48 And they're famous for doing that. But you do have to pick through all these articles. But yes, the Washington Times is owned by the Moonies. And the New York Times is owned by one family that is very closely associated to Israel. And just so that everybody remembers from yesterday, if you weren't here and haven't listened to it yet, the Moonies of the Unification Church.

1:04:18 have been intimately involved. Basically, the Moonies were part and parcel of the KCIA that was set up post-World War II in Korea to run their intel. They were embedded in that. They deployed as Operation Gladio paramilitaries. They were trained to that standard. They guarded poppy fields in South America for the international syndicate.

1:04:44 They have been deployed all over the world doing Operation Gladio stuff under the guise of a church. Yep. And they were extremely involved with Jonestown. They were also extremely involved with Sasakawa out of Japan. And they were pivotal in helping to set up UNESCO. Wow, right?

1:05:14 Yep. Yep. Because, again, we find for those of you who've not been around for very long, UNESCO and the WWF have a very neat arrangement of cash strapping third world countries by the CIA going in and assassinating their president or creating genocide and overthrowing their government. And then.

1:05:43 They have no money because the international syndicate comes in and basically takes all of their resources through these lopsided concessions. And they bribe the person that the CIA installs as their president into taking billions of dollars of loans from the IMF and the World Bank. And that debt then is strapped to the individuals who just got, you know, genocided.

1:06:08 And then UNESCO comes in and they designate these sites as historically necessary to preserve. And all you indigenous people that live there gets kicked out. But we're going to relocate you to a village nearby so that you can, when we bring in and use those designated historical sites that you can't live in anymore, but we're going to use them for ecotourism.

1:06:37 We're going to bring them by that new village so you can dance for the Western tourists. And I'm not joking about any of this. Yeah, and we're also going to steal all your treasures that happen to be on that site. And what the WWF does is they come in and they say, hey, you know that $10 billion loan? We'll pay that loan off if you give us control of that UNESCO-designated national forest.

1:07:04 And then they go in unbeknownst to the people because they secure it with park rangers trained by the WWF. So no one can get in. And they actually set up, we have found evidence that declassified CIA documents that they set up terrorist training camps on these.

1:07:23 forested areas in these natural reserves. So it's a scam. It's just another way of occupying. And oh, by the way, that's where all their minerals are at. And they're always on the border so they can launch operations into a neighboring country and destabilize it too. It's an evil plan. Yeah. And they also do this to hide history as well. And that's key because people that don't have a history or a background.

1:07:52 whether it's these beautiful archaeological sites. When people start to disassociate from that, they have no roots, and therefore they have no allegiance, and therefore it's their one world order that they can control a la some peasants. Well, it's a destruction of culture. So all of the history, like what we found out when we did Africa, was as they kick them out of the forest, they lose their...

1:08:21 ingredients that they have for cures and treatments because they don't use Western medicine. And that's another reason why they do this. They want all of these people captured. And it's just literally the destruction of everything. Their children will never know how to make baskets and all of the stuff that they've done for the last thousand years because they no longer have access to their supplies because they're in the forks. So.

1:08:51 And isn't it funny that wherever Bill Gates goes, monkeypox is sure to follow? Yeah, that's a little weird. Bridget, go ahead. Okay, I don't remember if you, and forgive me if I miss this part, did you cover the Korean liaison office? Not yet. I think that's in one of the four articles that I have for tomorrow. Oh, okay, okay.

1:09:21 Just because you had brought up the white shirt. Yeah. And the whole connection with that. And I happened to cross it. And it just, again, just blows me away. You know, you kick a rock here and it ripples three miles away. And you can see this whole connectivity from here to here to here to here to here. Anyway. Stellar, go ahead.

1:09:50 I think I forgot what I was going to say. I'm just, I'm just kind of, I'm sorry. I was going to say something, but we talked about something else and then I forgot to put my hand down. And then I got entrenched on what's happening at the border in Tijuana, the Venezuelans that took over that building in Colorado. So I put them on the bottom because it's Operation Gladio happening here in the U.S. too, in front of our eyes. So, sorry. That's okay. I'm just mortified. That's okay.

1:10:21 SR 71? Go ahead. I don't know if anybody noticed today, but speaking of the unification church and the LDP party in Japan, the Prime Minister of Japan, Kishida, has decided that he's going to step down. So I think something's going on over there that they're not too thrilled with. Right.

1:10:53 I remember. My brain just had to loop around. Okay, perfect. So you were talking about the Moonies and stuff like that, and I think I had told you I should probably drive by to see if they put their house for sale. So there was this one property not too far away from Las Vegas Boulevard. There's two sets of outlet malls, but it's the one that's on the south side of the strip.

1:11:18 Um, there's a huge, big, it was like a compound and it used to be owned by a bunch of Mormon or a Mormon family, quote unquote, with a bunch of extra houses on it. Well, something happened and they ended up selling it to the, I think of it as like a huge, big, I don't know if it's the Moonies or not, but they have a really big group here and they're very tied into.

1:11:42 Really high security stuff around it and things like that. And then one of my friends who is a commercial broker who lives in that area said that they're an off branch of the Moonies. And I guess they bought it about 15 years ago here in Vegas. So that's also interesting. And there's multiple churches that have been coming up as well. So the Moonies did have a very big presence in Las Vegas.

1:12:10 Like back in the 70s and 80s, I was reading when we first came across the Mooney connection to Operation Gladio. That was in the D.C. area in the northeast and in the west. It was in Las Vegas. So that's interesting. OK, so you're going to find this also very interesting. So there was a man here and he was really praised by business owners in Las Vegas. It's called Lee's Liquor.

1:12:39 The father was like a delivery guy or something like that, Korean boy. And this was years and years ago, was a delivery person for liquor and ended up buying a liquor store and did it at a discount apparently. Well, he ended up becoming, he ended up buying, you know, a whole bunch of stuff. I mean, the family's like loaded, loaded, loaded. This is like a rabbit hole that I haven't really gone down, but the father died.

1:13:05 And then shortly thereafter, the only surviving son recently or passed away to within not even a year of each other. So that's only been in the last couple of years. So it's just kind of interesting because I believe that there's this weird stuff, just something weird. Okay. Definitely lots of weird stuff. All right. What you got Bridget? Just one last thing. I just wanted to say thank you to you guys.

1:13:34 I love it when I see you guys start digging online and posting stuff that you're finding and following the threads and working together to follow those threads and starting to unravel stuff. I am often tempted to join. Sometimes we can, sometimes we can't. Sometimes we got other stuff we're working on. But it is just so exciting to see you guys doing what we're doing. And that is just following. It's like, wait a minute, where did I hear that from before?

1:14:04 And then you go back and you find these links and find the connectivity tissue to use the kernels kind of analogy. And you start to find the muscle and then you start to find that and you start to paint this bigger picture. I just love seeing it. It's just exciting. We're stronger together and they have no place to hide if we're all pointing out these connectivities to each other. Amen.

1:14:34 And we also have tonight at 930, the Alpha Warrior Show. And I am going to be discussing, because it came up in the Lieutenant Colonel North conversation, an organization called, let me bring up, I want to make sure I get the name right. Hold on just a second.

1:15:06 The organization is called the American Security Council, and it is looped into Operation Gladio in a crazy way. And several of the people that were involved in the Iran-Contra and many of these other Operation Gladio events from the American side are members of.

1:15:30 this group and so you'll definitely want to tune in um and see the connections it may take a couple of weeks um like maybe two sessions to get through the entire group and all of their tentacles but it is very interesting um and way too much to type so we're gonna do it in a show i'm not gonna do a thread on it because it is so big um but anyway you'll definitely want to um

1:15:56 Because it does touch some of the China lobby and all of that other stuff with what we're dealing with right now. So got a little bit of MacArthur in there. And the fact that it, because it just keeps coming up, I wanted to make sure that we covered it. And you guys need to know about this one. There's a couple other ones that I will do on the Alpha Warrior show that kind of bridges all of the geographical regions and kind of ties a lot of them together.

1:16:26 Anyway, what do you got coming up, Trump frog? I don't know. Really don't know. I know the end of the light space is tonight. Everybody should support those people. Golfing. Can you not hear me? I can hear you. We can hear. I was just going to say the end of the fight space tonight I'm going to do, and I'll probably, if it ends, I'm probably going to open up a space. There's a lot going on. Just want to keep people's heads above water. I see you, Stellar. What's up, fam?

1:16:55 What's up, Bridget? What's up, Cousin It family? How you doing, Colonel? Hey. All right. I've been grinding like crazy. I won't be able to be in your face tonight because I'm going to be on the Alpha Warrior show. Oh, gotcha. Carrie, what did you have? And then I've got to run because I've got dinner with my sisters tonight. So, Carrie, we'll let you close this out. I just want your opinion on Waltz and China. What the hell are you doing there?

1:17:28 What the heck? My opinion on what? Walt, the fake soldier in China. Kamala's vice president in China. Oh. I'm not following you, Terry. I wasn't either. Sorry. I was just trying to be rapid. Sorry. All right.

1:17:54 Yeah, that's probably too big of a conversation to have right now. We could do a whole different show on him because we did do a show on him about his military part. The entire context of his, I'm just going to be quite frank with you guys, that guy's creepy.

1:18:22 Amen. He is, in every sense of the word, creepy. And everything that comes out about him makes him more creepy in worse ways. So, yeah. He's not a fake soldier. He's just not a good soldier. I mean, he was actually in the Army. But...

1:18:50 He has none of the experiences that he said he did. He faked PTSD, which is one of the most heinous things that you could ever do if you've ever known anybody with PTSD. Bastard. And, yeah, I don't have anything good to say about him. He's almost like the poster child for the liberals. Almost.

1:19:16 Okay, so he is the poster child for the evil satanic. He is the poster child. Amen. The poster child liberal pretends to be something they are not. They don't even believe their own bullshit. Okay? And that to me is the travesty of the entire thing.

1:19:42 influencers are online are doing what they are doing for a paycheck. They don't believe that bullshit. They're all fake. And to Carrie's point, fake soldier. But he was nothing that he pretended to be. He didn't go to war. He went to Italy.

1:20:08 I left Italy. I was stationed in Italy at the time he deployed to Italy. I left Italy to the war. I went to Iraq. So he cannot say that he went to war, that he was in a war. Deploying to Europe is not going to the war. You are basically back up to the backup. So anyway, you were there to cover the op tempo.

1:20:40 of the units from Europe that deployed forward because that's what our unit did. We deployed forward and there were people that came from the States to backfill us in Italy. That's not going to the war. I'm sorry. You don't get combat pay. You don't get any of the things that you are entitled to if you go to the war. Like I got my Iraq ribbon because I was actually in Iraq. He doesn't have an Iraq ribbon. He has a NATO.

1:21:09 ribbon because he deployed to NATO. Anyway. Well, my ancestors fought in the revolution against the British and also my mother's uncle served with freaking Patton Crazy Freak. You know, it's just he's just spitting in the face of real soldiers. Makes me sick. Yes, I agree with that. Alright, guys.

1:21:42 I'm going to take off here and wish you guys all a great evening. We'll be back here for probably our last segment, if I can cram it all in, for Korea. And then we're going to move on. And we'll probably do one or two of the smaller countries for the rest of this week. And we'll start off next week probably with Vietnam.

1:22:07 And I will be traveling next week. So the time may have to be a little bit more varied than it normally is. We're going to go off in our RV for a few days, but I will still be doing the show and I will try to keep it all at four o'clock because this seems to work out good. So anyway, thank you all for being here. I appreciate you spending your time with us and going down our rabbit holes. God bless all of you guys.
