0:00 Hey, everybody. I'll be right there. I'm just hooking up the Rumble link. It's all good. I hope everybody's having a good day. Awesome day. Right. Awesome day to learn some truth bombs. Truth Moab. Mr. Truth Bomb. There you go. All right. I saw some of your threads.

0:45 The one about 9-11? Yeah, that's crazy. That's totally crazy. It just kept going and going and going. I understand that. That was me with Waco. And I still keep finding stuff that connects. It's crazy. Yep. Hey, everybody. Thank you for being here. And if you don't mind, we are being super...

1:14 Super crazy shadow band and attack. So please like, repost, share this out. And hopefully we can beat that algorithm that keeps trying to push and hammer us down. It, I, you know, I have to be honest with you. When I used to see people post about that, I'm like, what? Whiny ass crybabies. Never.

1:44 realizing just how bad it is because someone posted a video this morning of them trying to find my stuff and it's like they can't even see it so I've done that too where I'm videotaping where I like a post that you made and it will literally in front of my eyes unlike it I'll repost it and in front of my eyes it will unrepost it

2:14 And I'm like, this is nuts. It's like somebody else has been rolling my computer. Yeah, that's pretty crazy. So, I'm going to wait just a few minutes. Is Cousin It coming in? Oh, there she is. I'm going to bring her up here. Oh, yay! Yay!

2:50 What's going on with the scabs? I want to know what's going on with the scabs. Who's the scab? Something about stealing our work and posting it on other channels. Another one. Hopefully it was just a misunderstanding. But there's somebody that because I can't believe it was malicious because they tagged me in it when they

3:20 We're advertising it on X, but someone has taken all of our spaces and that we're posting, you know, on my pinned post and they are using the audio file and pasting a picture of

3:47 Richard Cottrell's Gladio book over the top of it, which is very misleading because my spaces do not all come from that book. So it's kind of false advertising, which is not good at all. So he needs to stop doing that with that picture on it because most of my material does not come from that book. It comes from other authors who I give credit to when I'm actually talking during the spaces. So it's very misleading. But he is then.

4:16 um taking those and posting them on his own rumble channel which we're moving all of our stuff over to rumble as well so that's not right and i just ask him to stop doing it i ask him to take the stuff off of his um rumble channel that is actually our stuff um and to not

4:44 No matter where he puts it, not put it with that cover on it because it's not Richard Cottrell's work. And I don't want it to be implied that it is. So anyway, not good. And that always gets hinky because we and as most of you guys know that follow us frequently, we do go above and beyond to double.

5:14 that everything is absolutely 100% factual and that if there is a speculation, we earmark it and say, okay, this is not necessarily something I can prove, but this sure looks like or seems like. And so for them to start, whenever anybody starts cabbaging on some of your work, it can unintentionally defame what you've worked so hard to do.

5:43 Well, the fact that he's putting someone else's cover sheet as if it's a book review, and he actually calls it a book review on the label. It's not a book review of Richard Cottrell's book. That work is mine. I have taken multiple sources, which I tell you when I'm using them. I quote from them. I say the word quote when I'm quoting from them. So everything about it's misleading, and I just ask them to stop. So.

6:14 And hopefully that'll, you know, that'll work. Right. Hopefully. Otherwise, I'll have to report it on Rumble. And I just prefer not to have to do that. But I will. I don't have a problem doing that. So anyway. So let me see. I'm trying to live stream that over on Rumble.

6:50 But all I see is the trailer. So hopefully that flags flies over there. If you guys could check it, I'm going to go ahead and get started. There are a few rumbles a few minutes behind. Right. It's like a 15 second delay or something like that. All right. So hopefully, hopefully that'll work out. All right. But just keep your eye on it and interrupt me if it doesn't.

7:19 It is live, and you've got video. Okay, awesome. All right. And sound. Well, let's get going here. Does my hair look okay? Does my hair look okay? I just got out of the pool, so my hair does not look okay. But that's why I had to put my hat on. But I don't care. We have to get this done. And so we're moving on. All right. So.

7:50 I want to start with a little bit of history because I think, especially in the case of Libya, it kind of, you've heard me talk about after World War II, them creating fake countries and fake royalty. It certainly applies in a roundabout way with Libya.

8:20 And I'll explain that. So not that there wasn't royalty per se in Libya, but the way in which it came about in Libya, it's just a crazy story. So we're going to start there. And the name of the guy is Idris.

8:48 I-D-R-I-S of Libya. He was born in 1890. He became a Libyan political and religious leader who became, was designated King of Libya in 1951. So obviously that's post-World War II. And he basically...

9:17 was the king of Libya from 1951 until 1963. And in 63 is when they had their first coup. And we'll get to that in just a second. I did want to go over just a little bit about the history of Libya so that you can kind of get your head around what all this involves.

9:47 It was part of the Ottoman Empire. And after World War I, it basically, the governing bodies, if you will, recognized Italy as having jurisdiction or basically, for lack of a better word, it's very simplistic, but probably too simplistic, but basically it became an Italian.

10:17 colony. And there was really three different pieces of Libya that acted very independently of each other. So following World War II, the UN called for Libya to basically be a free country. Well, let me back up just a second.

10:46 Because actually, in between of Libya being under the protection or colonialization of Italy, it also spent some time under British and French. And from, not to step on anybody's toes here, but I...

11:13 My first exploration of history was that every French colony in Africa was messed up. And there's lots of reasons that is, but they basically left a disaster when they pulled out. I've come to appreciate that many of the British ones in Africa, Yemen being a good example of which.

11:40 the British had a significant presence in Yemen and look at it today. Many of the British ones fell not worldwide, but definitely in Africa into that same pot. So Libya was double cursed because it was left under the stewardship of both the UK and France for a period of time. But basically the UN

12:10 after World War II, because, you know, like they're in charge now, they decided that it was going to be an independent country. And as a result of that, that's where the king came in and he basically got crowned into being in 1951 after World War II. So that kind of...

12:38 brought us up to there being a king there post-World War II, which there was not one prior to World War II. So that's kind of what I'm talking about when I refer to fake kings. There's a lot of history about Libya. Obviously, too much to cover in just this one setting.

13:07 when we're trying to focus on Operation Gladio. But there's some dynamics that you need to understand. For example, the king, during his reign from 1951 until he was deposed, he was in charge of a very mixed population. There were

13:36 Arabs, there were Berbers there, there were Greek people, there were Turkish people. There was quite a few Italians based on the fact that it had been ruled as an Italian colony for so long. There was Sephardic Jewish people there. So again, a very mixed population. They have some very challenging issues back then.

14:04 They had a 40% infant mortality rate. As a matter of fact, the king did not have a single child live past infancy. And he had like six or seven kids from like five different wives. But none of them lived. So infant mortality was a huge problem in Libya during those days. They had a 94% illiteracy rate.

14:30 Only 1% of the Libyan land was farmable. There was another few single-digit percentages that you could use as, like, grazing land. But, I mean, it is a very challenging place to live. We'll just put it that way. And he basically...

14:57 tried to rule as not so much as a constitutional monarchy. His was more like a dictatorship monarchy, for lack of a better... It wasn't that he was really bad or anything, but he made some interesting choices in...

15:29 The late 1950s, he decided that he was going to accept a whole bunch of Western aid, primarily from the United States, in exchange for allowing the United States to put military bases in Libya. Now, interesting, funny story.

15:55 Willis Air Base was one of those bases that was built in the 1950s and 60s. When I got to San Vito, Italy, which was this little podunk base in the southern part of Italy on the heel of the boot, our base housing had originally been at Willis Air Base. When they closed it after Gaddafi took over,

16:25 Um, they disassembled the, the base housing and, um, put it on an airplane and a ship and brought it to San Vito air station. And that was literally the officer's base housing, which was hilarious because most of all of them leaked. Um, they weren't very, um, uh, good at putting all that stuff back together. So, um, funny story. Plus it was just ugly as hell too.

16:55 Okay, so in the 1950s, a number of different foreign international syndicate oil companies came knocking on the king's door, and they started prospecting for oil. And then, of course, we know that they found it, and it was like a huge, huge find.

17:25 1959, 1960 time period. So there's this huge big oil boom, there's money everywhere, and life seems to be getting a lot better for the typical Libyan person. However, just like with all of our Operation Gladio stories, the oil industry

17:54 people in the international syndicate started basically dictating to the Libyan government and the king how things were going to go down. The king makes the decision in 1962 that he's going to join OPEC, and there becomes more and more control being administered over the oil industry.

18:24 by the king inside of Libya. So it was just shortly, okay, so in 1969, he goes to, so let me back up. In 1968, he makes the decision, the king does, that they are going to federalize the

18:53 Libyan Petroleum Company, and that as the concessions come up, they're going to be renegotiated as a part under a joint venture with this petroleum company owned by the government, which basically means the profits of these international syndicate oil companies are going to be decreased.

19:23 So fast forward a year, he goes out of the country to Turkey for medical treatment. And while he's gone, Omar Gaddafi overthrows the government. Now, the king ends up in exile in Egypt. And depending on what account you read, the international syndicate.

19:57 and the CIA was intricately involved in this coup d'etat. There are some accounts that you read that says they were marginally involved. They kind of winked and nodded. And then other accounts that you read that basically says it was like a full-fledged partnership.

20:24 You can fall anywhere on that spectrum that you want. I'm not going to form an opinion because I don't have the sources that I have found do seem more credible on the side based on history and patterns that it was a full-fledged CIA coup for the international syndicate who did not want their contracts renegotiated.

20:51 And unfortunately for them, they didn't get much better with Omar Gaddafi. I just think they thought they were going to get better. And that that happened a couple of different times where they I mean, it happened with Cuba. Right. They trained and supported Raul and Castro and Che Guevara in the mountains. They funded them. They gave them arms. They did all of that stuff. And in doing all of that stuff.

21:19 They thought that they were patting both sides of the fight, that they were going to support Batista in Cuba and they were going to support Castro. But basically, we know what happens. Castro tells them they're not bringing the mafia back in and that they're going to respect the Cuban people.

21:39 the CIA or the International Syndicate wasn't having that, nor any of the landed landowners like William Pauly that owned the entire transportation system, his sugar plantation and all that other stuff. They weren't satisfied with the terms that Castro wanted to offer them that provided safety and security for the people that had been being used by the International Syndicate.

22:09 And so basically they spent the next whatever it is, 60 years trying to kill him before he eventually died. So it does appear that something very similar to that happened with Gaddafi in that he very much was happy to have the help, even if it was just a verbal encouragement.

22:38 I just don't see any smoking guns. I couldn't find any transfer of arms. I couldn't find any transfers of money. And generally, those things are fairly, especially at this late date, because this was back in the, you know, 60s timeframe. Usually at this late date, we would have some of that evidence. There's not a lot of that evidence around. It's just a lot of innuendos.

23:09 Be that as it may, Omar Gaddafi gets put in charge. He's very much, interestingly enough, very, now going back to our British Roundtable and the Fabian Society and our Pan-America, Pan-Europe, Gaddafi originally was a very Pan-Arabic guy, not Pan-Africa, Pan-Arabic.

23:35 He was very much a fan of Egypt's Nasser. And he considered himself as an Islamic modernist. Even though he was promoting somewhat of an Islamic state, it still had very...

24:05 not representative government, but more of a direct democracy. And it's funny because I see this a lot. This is stuff that came up when we were studying Cuba and when we were studying Allende. There seems to have been, during this time, a large genre across the globe of people. And I want to explain what direct democracy means.

24:33 It means that you have a civic responsibility every day to be engaged in your government locally, that you take full responsibility for knowing everything that goes on, and that you are actively involved at the local level. And when you are, you do away with the need of a federal government or a state interim government. And I have come across that.

25:01 being a general philosophy of several of these people that in the early 70s, 80s timeframe had kind of taken a twist almost of like a socialist slash democratic baby. And they took the best parts of both of those things and at least tried to experiment with them.

25:29 They were never successful because that decentralization of control was anti-international syndicate. So each and every person that tried that was assassinated or thrown out of office by the CIA. They can't have that type of a hybrid system working because they don't control it. But I found it interesting in doing a deep dive on Omar Gaddafi that he espoused some of those exact same tendencies.

25:59 which, again, doesn't make him popular with the CIA or the syndicate. So you can talk about Libya without talking about two airplane crashes. One is Pan Am Flight 103, and the other one was a UTA Flight 772. The 772, one most people have not ever heard of.

26:29 It actually crashed near Niger, and there were lots of weird things about that particular crash. It had flown quite a ways before a bomb was detonated. That had been put in the forward cargo compartment.

27:00 Let's see. The wife of the American ambassador to Chad was on that aircraft. Now, there was a whole lot of stuff going on in Chad at the time. And when you look at this particular ambassador, Robert Lee Pugh, P-U-G-H.

27:26 Very interesting. He was appointed as a chat ambassador by Reagan. He was also the ambassador to Mauritania, M-A-U-R-I-T-A-N-I-A. And he, let's see, he also spent time as a political military officer.

27:57 in Ankara, Turkey in the 60s, and also spent quite a bit of time in the 60s in Iran. Also in Athens, Greece during the time when there was a lot of political turmoil and coups going on there. He was also the political advisor to Sink Navier, which is the senior Navy guy in London.

28:26 which is a three or four star command. And he was there in the late 70s. So he basically served quite a bit. And he was, let's see, the Southern European Affairs, which would have probably been down in Naples as well. He was at the embassy in Beirut, Lebanon in the early 80s.

28:56 So, a lot of hot spots, actually. His wife died in that plane crash. She was on that aircraft. So, if that was a warning to him, possibly, I don't know. But there was some very weird...

29:19 Like, when you look at the investigation, I read a couple of different accounts of it, and it has all the telltale signs of it being weird. Where the crash site investigation and many of the other things that happened. Let's see if I could find that one article real quick.

29:48 They eventually try people that they say was affiliated with Libya, one of which was the brother-in-law of Omar Gaddafi, who was the deputy chief of his intelligence division in Astentia. And, of course, they're all convicted.

30:22 But there does seem to be some differencing of opinion on how that happened. The other flight, Pan Am 103, we did quite a bit of looking into that one, and that one certainly was bullshit.

30:48 There was so many things wrong with that one. And the people that they actually ended up accusing and convicting of that bombing, it appears that they had a drug run that was flown out of Libya into through a European port city and then into New York.

31:19 And there was certain ways that they flagged the case that had the drugs in it. And there was a procedure for passing off that case after they got through security that involved people that worked at the airports. And as a result of that, one of the cases, there was like...

31:48 Somebody knew about this whole thing happening and they put a bomb in one of those cases instead of the drugs because there were people on that airplane that they basically wanted to take out. And I would encourage anybody that wants to look into that, they can certainly look into that. But I'm just throwing that out there that the whole thing was suspect, both of those things.

32:17 You can form your own opinion as it relates to those things. But it's very weird as a result of that. Oh, and there's also the discotheque Germany bombing. You're going where? Oh, OK. See you later. My husband's going to his car show. So.

32:44 There's also a German discotheque bombing that happened that was blamed on Libya, that if you go and do the research on that one, definitely an Operation Gladio, that they pinned on Libya. And, of course, they did the bombing where we went and just bombed the shit out of them, supposedly to get Gaddafi in 1986.

33:10 And, of course, we screwed that all up because not only did we not get him, but we basically injured his entire family and killed a bunch of civilians, all because they didn't do it. But that all happened right at the same time when Qaddafi originally started making rumblings of changing his pan-Arab stance to be a pan.

33:40 african stance um and then in 1999 um he gets even more vocal about it and he um becomes the chairperson of the african union um and things actually he actually starts putting things into um but he had initially um also wanted to nationalize the uh oil industry

34:10 And so as soon as he does that, all hell breaks loose and he gets attacked. And this is just such a typical story at this point that literally every country we go to, we see some similar story relating to this. So in 99, he drops completely his pan-Arabism.

34:40 and begins to adopt the pan-Africanism. And then, of course, we get to 2011, the Arab Spring, and they're going to hunt him down. I did have some information about that that I want to go over. There's a guy, and you're going to love this story. So this article is written in...

35:12 of all places, a site that's called the World Socialist Website. They cite a lot of mainstream media in this article. It was written in April 2011. And this is why I tell you that you have to read everything on both sides. Because again, this article links to mainstream media.

35:40 And it's a very interesting insight into what was going on. So I'm going to read a little bit of this. Numerous press reports over the weekend, and again, this is April 2011, add to the evidence that Libyan rebels fighting the regime of Muammar Gaddafi are under the direction of American intelligence agencies, despite the repeated claims by the Obama administration officials that the rebels are largely unknown.

36:09 it is becoming increasingly clear that key military leaders of the anti-Qaddafi campaign are well known to the U.S. government and have longstanding relations with the CIA. For better than two weeks, there has been a virtual ban, which is your number one clue, in the U.S. media on reporting the name of Khalifa Haqqa. And I'm going to spell that for you. K-H-A-L.

36:38 I-F-A is the first name. The second name is H-A-F-T-A-R. The longtime CIA collaborator who was appointed chief rebel commander on March 17th, on the eve of the U.S.-NATO bombing campaign against Libya. So let me get this straight. We, the CIA, the U.S.

37:11 is funding the rebel commander, and there is a total blackout on mainstream media, not because they don't know it, but because they won't tell us about it. Only the regional McClatchy newspaper chain reported Hocktar's appointment.

37:42 The ABC News ran a brief interview with him on March 27th, which would have been 2011, which would have been 10 days after the designation. Otherwise, there's complete silence. This de facto censorship abruptly ended on April 1st, when a right-wing U.S. think tank called the Jamestown Foundation published a lengthy study

38:12 of Hochtar's background and record, which was cited extensively in a further Reuters news service and then more widely in the U.S. and British media. Jamestown Foundation report declared, quote, today as Colonel Hochtar's finally returns to the battlefield of North Africa with the objective of toppling Gaddafi, his former co-conspirator

38:41 from the Libyan 1969 coup. He may stand as the best liaison for the U.S. and allied NATO forces in dealing with the Libya's unruly rebels. Now, let me just stop right there. This guy is a longtime known CIA affiliate. And by inference, he also was fighting alongside Gaddafi to depose the King's forces while he was out of the country.

39:13 So I don't know about y'all, but I can add to and to and get for to tell me that that adds credence to the fact that the overthrowing of the king was in direct correlation to him announcing that he was nationalizing the oil industry. And a year later, they the CIA organizes a coup against him. And it just so happens that.

39:41 Qaddafi and this known CIA co-conspirator, Haftar, is on the same side. That's just me, but I call that logic. So Jamestown study noted Haftar's role in organizing the Libyan National Army. So that's the acronym is LNA, Libyan National Army.

40:06 which he founded on June 21st, 1988. 1988. So there's been a Libyan National Army, not the official National Army, since 1988 with strong backing from the CIA. That's really weird. But the weirdest part is...

40:38 that there is mention in the Jamestown study that in a 1991 interview with Hoptar, he is quoted as saying this, quote, conducted in a LNA camp in Rule, Virginia. So he's telling the interviewer,

41:12 That they brought him, that they being the CIA, picked him up out of Libya and brought him to Virginia to train him to be a rebel against the Libyan government. Where have we heard that before? I don't know. School of America, Fort Benning, that explosive bomb training place in Texas. We've heard that repeatedly.

41:43 That's just crazy. Yeah, just bring those terrorists here to the United States and train them. So not only did the CIA sponsor and fund the LNA, it engineered the entry of LNA officers and men into the United States to an established training camp. Reuters added, using a variant spelling of the name, that it was, quote, repeatedly asked for an interview with

42:15 and his name is misspelled, Haftar, but he would not immediately respond, unquote. The news service added the CIA declined to comment on its relationship with the military leader. Other references to Haftar's role appeared in the online blog of the New Yorker magazine, in Africa Confidential, on NPR, the British Daily Guardian.

42:45 and in Independent on Sunday, another British newspaper. The Independent column headlined, quote, the shady men backed by the West to displace Gaddafi, unquote, described the Libyan rebel commander as follows, quote, the careers of several make them sound like characters out of more sinister Graham Greene novels. They include men such as Colonel Khalifa,

43:14 Haqtar, former commander of the Libyan army in Chad, who was captured and changed sides in 1988, setting up the anti-Qaddafi Libyan National Army, reportedly with CIA and Saudi backing. For the last 20 years, he's been living quietly in Virginia before returning to Benghazi to lead the fight against Qaddafi.

43:45 Wow. Wow. That's a lot of crap. Finally, the Washington Post Sunday edition carried several references to Haftar, including a front page article profiling the divisions within the rebel military leadership. Khalifa Haftar, a former army colonel who recently returned to Libya after living for many years in Falls Church,

44:13 was initially hailed by the Transitional National Council as a leader who could help discipline the new army and train its largely volunteer ranks. The same reporter says she quoted the rebel military spokesman giving conflicting accounts, one saying Haftar had been removed from command, the other saying he remained in control of the military.

44:39 When asked to explain the conflict in light of its earlier announcement of Hoftar's appointment, said, quote, this is the position of the council today. The situation is fluid. The political viewpoints change frequently, unquote. Gotta love that. The Washington Post longtime reporter on intelligence activities, Walter Pincus, himself a former CIA informer in the National Student Association, describes Hoftar.

45:08 as a former Libyan army colonel who for years commanded the Libyan National Army, an anti-Qaddafi group. The article said Haftar had established the LNA allegedly with backing from the CIA and Saudi elements. Quote, in 1996, he was reported to have been behind an alleged uprising in eastern Libya.

45:34 By that time, he was already settled with his family in Falls Church. So basically what this is saying is the CIA had basically corrupted this guy way back in the 1980s, got him to commit treason and established militant. Is anybody there? Militant. I don't know who that was.

46:06 I think we got it fixed. Okay. So they had established militant forces. The CIA had established militant forces inside of Libya against Libyan's government. And at some point trained the guy in Virginia. He goes back to Libya and creates all kinds of havoc. Then they extract him.

46:35 back to the United States to live here until they need him again in the 2010-2011 time frame. They insert him back into Libya to overthrow the government. So that, my friends, is how Operation Gladio worked. Because the overthrowing of the Libyan government was most definitely a NATO event.

47:08 This article goes on, the informal blackout of Haftar's identity and CIA connections still continues in the American television networks and in the pages of the New York Times. A newspaper that openly admits its subservience to the U.S. military intel apparatus, but the significance of the weekend press reports is unmistakable. The Libyan military...

47:35 rebel is not the independent organ of a popular uprising against Gaddafi dictatorship, but rather the creation of American imperialism, the most reactionary political force on the planet. The dubious character of the Libyan rebels was further underscored in a remarkable profile published Saturday by the Wall Street Journal of three Libyans who had fought with Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan.

48:04 and were now playing major roles in the rebel military effort. Two of the three had been in U.S. custody as alleged al-Qaeda operatives, and one even spent six years in Guantanamo Bay before being turned over to the Qaddafi regime in 2007. The three men are Abdel Abkin al-Hazdasi, described as an influential Islamic preacher and high school teacher,

48:30 who spent five years at a trading camp in Afghanistan and now oversees the recruitment, training, and deployment of the rebel fighters in Libya, working alongside the CIA designated guy. Salia al-Bahrani, a former fighter from the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, who is Hasadeh's field commander. And I have no idea how to say this guy's name.

49:00 Qumu, his last name is Q-U-M-U, a Libyan army veteran who worked for Osama bin Laden holding company in Sudan and later for the Al-Qaeda linked charity in Afghanistan and who is training many of the city's rebel recruits. So Hasadeh and Ben Qumu were arrested by Pakistani security after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.

49:30 and turned over to the U.S. Hasadi was transferred to Libyan custody two months later, when Ben Kumu was moved to Guantanamo and held there until 2007, when he too was sent to a Libyan prison. Qaddafi's regime released both men in 2008, at the time when U.S.-Libyan collaboration in the war on terror was at its height. Such an action would certainly have been checked with by Washington.

50:01 So basically, they're saying that Washington was fine with Qaddafi releasing them. The former al-Qaeda warrior was quite willing to speak to the leading U.S. business newspaper, saying, quote, his discourse has become dramatically more pro-American, unquote. Imagine what spending time in Guantanamo Bay does for you. Quote, if we hated the Americans 100 percent, today it is less than 50 percent.

50:31 They have started to redeem themselves for their past mistakes, unquote. Whether these individuals are al-Qaeda operatives who, quote unquote, turned by American captors or simply were always in bed with them, but their role in the Libyan opposition further undermines the longstanding propaganda that the U.S. government has basically been after al-Qaeda all of this time. I'm paraphrasing.

51:01 For a decade, the U.S. government under Bush and now Obama has used the terrorist actions of Al-Qaeda and its alleged supporters as a pretext for military invention all over the Muslim world, when in fact they seem to be on the same side, because they are. There has long been reason to doubt this, quote, war on terror narrative, not the least.

51:24 of which is that al-Qaeda was effectively created by the CIA through its activities in recruiting and mobilizing radical Islamists to go to Afghanistan in the 1980s to join the Mujahideen guerrillas fighting the Soviets there. Many of the 9-11 suicide hijackers were known to the CIA as al-Qaeda operatives, having been recruited there by the same CIA.

51:49 And obviously that is true because in the thread that I put out this morning, I made those connections as well based on a whole bunch of different articles. An incident during a hearing Thursday before the House Armed Services Committee demonstrates the sensitivity of the U.S. government concerning the links between U.S. intelligence services and al-Qaeda. Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman questioned a witness deputy.

52:20 Secretary of State James Steinberg about the role of Abdel Habkeen al-Hassani. Steinberg refuses to discuss the matter, suggesting that it should be taken up only in a closed door session, citing U.S. covert operations, blah, blah, blah. So you can see I have provided information.

52:50 that basically articulate that we couped, we being the West, couped Libya at least twice. Once when the king decided to nationalize the petroleum industry. And a second time when Gaddafi got a little too big for his britches on the same issue and began nationalizing.

53:20 the petro industry there. So the international syndicate has spoken. Both of the leaders at the time were deposed. One was assassinated. The other guy just got to ride off into the sunset and live the rest of his life in Egypt in exile. But one more time where NATO has inserted itself via Operation Gladio Tactics.

53:49 against the will of the people. And it illustrates their role of turning people against their duly appointed government. And again, I go back to the point that I don't care whether you like Qaddafi or not. He could be good, bad, or indifferent. The point that we don't get to choose other people's governments needs to be

54:20 kind of like a basic tenet of living in a republic, or even if you want to call it a democracy. A democracy doesn't give you the ability to go around the world whacking people who decide that they're not going to give you their shit for free. That's my personal opinion anyway. Okay, so that concludes the...

54:51 formal part of the presentation. And as everybody knows, basically we do like about an hour, about an hour's worth of presentation, and then we open it up for questions. And so that's kind of the point where we're at now. What did you have, Cousinette? All you could see were the ears, the ears sticking out.

55:20 So he finally decided after John left for the car show, he had to come and get on me to look out the window to see if John was out in the backyard or if he actually left. So he just managed to walk two feet away and lay down until I started looking at him talking again. And now he's back up. He'll be over here in a second. Absolutely adorable. Yeah, all you could see in the air is just like sticking up.

55:50 He does have some big ears and not to be mean, but the one thing that I love most about a Schnauzer is their floppy ears. And I bought my mom a Schnauzer like 20 years ago after we got two and my mom fell in love with ours. So I bought her one and hers had the stand up ears.

56:15 And I was like, that's the god-awful ugly stouser I've ever seen in my life because of the ears standing up. And when we got him and he's a puppy, his ears like flipped over and he was the cutest thing in the whole world. And then like one day they just started standing up and I looked at John and I'm like, oh my God, I got a Buffy. Cause that was my mom's dog's name. And I'm like, oh no, I got a Buffy.

56:45 So, anyway. He's so cute. Hey, Buffy. Yeah. Everybody say hi, Maverick. Yep. Anyway. I just want to let the people on Rumble. Yeah. So, we do simulcast this onto Rumble, and so they're looking at the dog on Rumble, just in case anybody wants to see the dog.

57:18 Just so everybody is aware on Rumble that I am monitoring the chat. So if any of you all have questions there, I'll be happy to relay them. We're getting really cool about this, aren't we? Yeah, it's almost too cool. How old is Maverick? Seven months. He's just a baby still. He's just a baby.

57:53 Yep. Anyway. Hey, Miles. You got a question? Thanks, guys. Yeah, I wasn't really planning on learning about Libya. I was watching this podcast by Jimmy Moriarty and his wife. And they're from Texas. And they went over to Libya because they're oilers. And he'd come up with a process to extract oil. And they got kidnapped. Now, Colonel, I don't know what group kidnapped them.

58:27 But they soon learned that there was three major tribes in Libya that had lots of power. And they may be connected to this army that you're talking about. And so as far as I know, they're the only people that actually got rescued. And I don't know if they paid a ransom or whatever, but they got out of there. They got them out of there. But they liked them so much, they kept giving them intel.

58:57 about what was happening in Libya. And even Erdogan was involved in Libya because, you know, he wants to have his empire return. I think you know what I'm talking about. But he would get this information weekly and I'd watch his podcast and it was very informative. And I remember on a Monday we got, I watched.

59:27 his podcast on a Wednesday, we got the message that he had a heart attack and died. And it was just weird that he was talking about the CIA heart attack gun on Monday night on his podcast. And so, yeah, they really didn't like that they were getting real information out of Libya from the different tribes. But it was interesting how much power they had because

59:55 They kept baiting this army to come into the city and actually get into a battle, and they wouldn't. They just would retreat into the desert and just try to influence politics from there. They were smart enough not to get into a fight. Are you familiar with some of the stuff that's going on over there now? Yes.

1:00:24 I have a kind of different opinion on the Erdogan and Russia's presence in Libya because Erdogan very much has gone against NATO in many different aspects of their imperialistic approach to life in general. And it does appear that Erdogan has...

1:00:53 taken the approach, gosh, I'm trying to think of an analogy, but he's basically taking on almost a Che Guevara aspect, where Che Guevara throughout South America, Latin America in general, kept showing up everywhere the CIA did to overthrow the duly elected government to fight back against the CIA. Erdogan is almost taking that same

1:01:22 approach throughout the Middle East. If the CIA shows up to basically coup or overthrow or create instability, Putin and Erdogan are taking the approach that they're going to be on the opposite side. So I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing in general because it does appear that someone

1:01:49 is standing up to the bullies on the block. Well, let me give you my perspective on what you just said. I think the tribal leaders just didn't want any outside interference in their affairs. So you're right, but they already have that in the form of an illegitimate, seditionist army.

1:02:19 that is fake that was created by the CIA to bring instability to their country. And my understanding in the just normal reading that I've done about what's going on in Libya, not for this presentation, is the fact that the tribal leaders do want to, and you're right, there are three sects, they want to address things themselves.

1:02:49 but realize in some capacity they're in over their head when they're fighting against the CIA. Well, I think most countries would be. Right, right. So I agree with everything you're saying that they do want to solve it on their own, but they are somewhat open to Erdogan being another Muslim with the backing of Russia trying to help them offset the creep of the CIA.

1:03:21 If that makes sense. Go ahead, Jeff. Jeff? Yes, ma'am. Sorry about that. I thought there was somebody up before me. So then I've come in a little bit late to your illustrious Colonel Towner podcast with Bridget and Cousin It and everybody. Stellar. Cool. Miles. Great, great group of guys. So then my question.

1:03:57 is it might be a little bit off your topic because i came in late so i was thinking about hillary clinton's play in the overthrow of the libyan government through the gentleman that brought the weapons in from qatar that was in leavenworth donald trump i believe pardon that gentleman so it backfired when the embassy was taken over in benghazi and the the ambassador plus

1:04:27 Several others were killed. And she said, well, what does it matter? My question is, A, if that was a criminal offense, what would be the punishment? And the second question is, I'm sure she was working with the intelligence assets as well. What's your take on that, ma'am? So I don't think there's any difference between the State Department and the CIA. They are blended one and the same.

1:04:58 So it goes without saying that as the secretary of state, she was basically in bed with what the CIA was doing. I think it's quite clear. And I did want to do a part two where we talk about the Benghazi separately. But I will say this. It is.

1:05:27 clear beyond a reasonable doubt that there were gun running going on, arms deals going on through the port of Benghazi. That was the reason what happened happened. And I'm going to stop at that point because I do want to, on Monday, continue a part two that...

1:05:55 basically deals with that specific issue because I think it warrants its own look. Zamba, you were next. Yeah. Hi, Colonel. Great space again. Thanks for having me up. I had a question about, I guess it tags on a little bit to what the gentleman was saying before in that especially the roles of players like Turkey and Russia in this.

1:06:28 Because Libya, for me, is not as clear cut as we've seen in previous, quote unquote, Gladio operations, in the sense that I think what we're seeing is a much less sort of clear or clean style of operation in the way of a regime change. And for me, I think there's two kind of fundamental elements.

1:06:54 There was a sort of warming to Gaddafi, if people remember back in the early noughties, that he was, I think, in exchange of taking the blame for the famous Lockerbie plane bombing. There was this kind of undercover that for me, it's still not very clear that he was at all involved in that. And I think that really does have a lot of Gladio fingerprints all over it.

1:07:22 But maybe that's another matter because he didn't ultimately admit to it, but he got his government to do it in exchange of dropping sanctions. So the U.S. dropped sanctions. He was kind of then suddenly heralded as a kind of a good guy all of a sudden. And there was all sorts of oil deals being made in Libya. And famously, the Italians and the French were all over Libya.

1:07:48 And I don't know if people know this, but even Sarkozy, who was prime minister of France in 2005 or whatever, was charged for corruption because Gaddafi was financing his election campaign, I think in 2005 or 2006. And, you know, he was being, you know, invited by Berlusconi to like camp out of the palace in Rome and invited to all the bunga bunga parties and you name it, right?

1:08:18 Berlusconi, as we know, is a famous P2, by the way, member. So he was being brought into the club. Now, why was this this sudden turnaround? And I think there's a lot to be said about the kind of oil deals that the same way that Ukraine was suddenly looking to be too friendly to Russia, Russia was having...

1:08:41 getting a bigger than bite-sized chunk of Europe's energy markets. And basically, Europe was also becoming energy independent in a way that it wasn't before in terms of its dependence on the OPEC cartel and the petrodollar. So I have a theory that there's a lot to do with the energy politic in this.

1:09:07 And the sudden turning of that is very similar as we sort of saw the kind of the sudden color revolution happen in Ukraine. The only problem is that I think it totally went sour. I think what happened in Libya has to be seen as a case of a complete gladio fuck up in the way that it opened up a Pandora's box of all against all. The Russians got involved, say we can play at that game too, started financing.

1:09:36 Everyone and their mother in there and dropping their operatives in. And I think, as you said, Turkey decided to say, well, we can flex in this region as well as having a very sizable now military industrial complex of their own. Thanks to the US. Thanks to the US. Absolutely. And so I wonder what what are your thoughts on that in terms of. I think you're dead on. And I do think I like the way you put that.

1:10:04 that it turned into a fuck up because it exactly did. But I think that the interesting dynamic became Syria because obviously what they wanted was the rolling coup of installed CIA puppets throughout the continent of Africa.

1:10:26 When they couldn't get Syria to turn, and I realize that's not technically the continent, but when you look at Libya versus Syria, you can't, to me, separate the two because they have loads of similarities. And when the dam became Syria.

1:10:54 And when they couldn't blow up the dam, everything downstream of the dam went south as well. And so I think Libya was downstream of Syria. And once that fell apart and you have, again, both Turkey and Russia involved in Syria, then that spillover effect into Libya.

1:11:21 became readily apparent, and I agree with you 100%. The regime change back from the king to Omar Gaddafi happened within a year of him saying that all of the concessions for oil were going to be renegotiated with a national entity that he had just created, which meant more profit sharing.

1:11:48 away from the international syndicate and into the hands of the Libyan people. That was a non-starter for them. And then oil issue number two was when Gaddafi said basically the same thing and then he had to go. Because you're absolutely right. There was a warming up period of where the West, you know, oh, they couldn't say enough things about Gaddafi. That was good.

1:12:12 And they had just spent all of the 80s accusing him of blowing people up in Germany, which he had nothing to do with. I don't believe they had anything to do with 103 either. But I do believe that they used that. Both of those were clearly Gladio events. So they do Gladio events in your name. They blame you with the propaganda media, all controlled by the CIA.

1:12:41 So the entire world thinks you're guilty. Then they can use that as leverage to make you do what they want you to do. And they will control you if you allow that to happen. So Zamba, you are dead on on everything. Bridget? Yes. Now, the question I had for you is, OK, looking at Libya today and looking at their government today.

1:13:15 It appears to be they have done the same thing. And, you know, I guess it's recognizing the pattern, pattern, patterns of an installed government. Again, it looks like back in, if I'm reading this right, in 2021, an election was scheduled and it collapsed amid disputes over eligibility of the main candidates.

1:13:49 Anyway, and then the UN came in. Now, this just sounds so familiar. And set up a council. Anybody noticing anything similar here? Yeah. And let's see. Mefti came to power when the government of national unity under Prime Minister Al, and I'm sure I'm going to mess this up, Al-Dubai, was installed through UN back.

1:14:20 process in 2021 but the parliament no longer recognizes its legitimacy and he has vowed not to cede power to a new government without national elections he's stalling for time just kind of sounds like exactly what happened in haiti we're just in haiti they're about three years ahead of them um is that what you're pretty well okay that that's

1:14:52 Even in this particular case, it says just recently the leaders agreed to form another new unified government, and they met in Cairo. Why would they be meeting in a different country to negotiate details? Well, that's not that big of a deal. A lot of times they will go to a neutral site to do that.

1:15:25 Oh, okay. Yeah, I mean, we had the Dayton Accords to resolve the breakup of Yugoslavia. I mean, they do that a lot. Right. I guess nowadays, it's like once those flags start going up, it's hard not to see them with their hand in everything, you know? Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm not discounting that, but I'm just saying that one particular point, the fact that they went to a different country.

1:15:57 To try to come to a resolution. That's not uncommon. That's why they have the Paris Accord. All of these different. They came to San Francisco. To do the signing of the peace treaty. For Japan in World War II. That's kind of a common thing. The rest of the stuff is not common. Just that part. Anymore. It seems like. They use the exact. I guess.

1:16:30 Because it's worked every time. They use the same pattern because it has worked. But once we start noticing these patterns. It doesn't work anymore. Right. Because then we can stop them before they ever get there. I don't even know if we can stop them, but we definitely don't have to allow it to be 10 years before we figured out they lied to us. Yeah. Yeah. That's a fact. Yeah. And we can call it out. We can call it out before it happens, too.

1:17:03 Which we've done a couple of times. But even as it's happening, you know, just like Cousinette and Bridget and I were discussing as some of the other recent coups have happened in Africa, you immediately, the Slovakia one, the Crocus shootings, you can see them in real time now because we've got the patterns. Yep.

1:17:33 And they're still doing it in Georgia right now. They are actively, they have elections again in October, and they are actively trying to overthrow the democratically elected government in Georgia. So, and Georgia knows it. I do have a question or, well, a comment on the question slash comment from Donny Vision on Rumble.

1:18:01 And so in a weird way, Libya and Afghanistan are connected. In a weird way. Yeah. Well, keep in mind that Afghanistan was the incubator for the Mujahideen and Al Qaeda. Afghanistan provided a baby terrorist farm.

1:18:33 for us. And those terrorists have all grown up and have been used extensively throughout the world, not just in the Middle East, throughout the world. They came here on 9-11. They have been used throughout the world, just like the Cuban exiles that were incubated in Miami, trained in Miami, were deployed throughout the world.

1:19:02 Just like the Colombian 20,000 mercenaries, they're like baby farms. They are going around creating baby terrorist mercenaries all over the world in these war zones. They are using the exposure to recruit and then turn these people loose on unsuspecting people.

1:19:37 Very insightful observation, Donnie vision. So all you guys watching over there on rumble, you need to give us a thumbs up. I'm not seeing, I see a lot of you over there. Thank you for being there. And I love the watching the chat over there. So also one of the other bizarre, you know, I know you're going to find this hard to believe Libya's parliament approved an eight.

1:20:16 $15.3 billion additional budget just in two days ago. So without an actual elected president, they're spending the tax money as quickly as they can get. Go ahead, Stellar. And getting themselves in debt. Well, I want Stellar to address that, Bridget, because Stellar is our money person. If she can take a homework assignment before Monday and tell us what the activity with the World Bank is.

1:20:45 and the IMF as it relates to Libya. I will definitely go more into that. And I'll have my notes for you guys. Because honestly, everything that seems to be happening, I know that everything is not Gladio. I know that. But it seems like there's so many things that are Gladio-esque, or however you say that.

1:21:11 I don't know what the word is. I mean, I guess we're going to be making... Gladio-ish. Gladio-ish. Gladio-ish. That's the perfect word. Thank you. Yeah. Shades of Gladio. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Many shades and many layers of Gladio. Because, you know, like you were just saying, the Libya and Afghanistan and, you know...

1:21:37 there's just so many ties that overlap and, and, and the common denominator, even if it is not a Gladio thing, the common denominator is enslavement and to keep on with whatever they're keeping on with, you know, they're evil things and stuff like that. And yeah.

1:21:55 But Libya did. I mean, Libya wanted to go on the gold backed currencies. They did not want to be on the banking system. And I do know that. And there was lots of stuff that was a lot of shenanigans that were done under. And you can see shifting going on. So I'll try and pull up during that time. I'll see if I can find ledgers and stuff like that on, you know, like through Bitcoin and stuff like that, because it seems like a lot of times whenever these things start happening.

1:22:23 It seems like, you know, either things are acquired or they're selling it to fund their shady operations. So when we come back on Monday, we're going to talk about the WWF activity there, any UNESCO sites that they have, and the Goldback initiatives of Gaddafi, because you're absolutely right. He wanted an African currency.

1:22:49 so that they could break the ties of colonialism once and for all, and that they would be able to capture all of their own resources, their gold, their diamonds, their uranium, everything for the profit of Africa in general. And I think that was the final straw in why he had to go. Miles, go ahead. Yeah, a couple of things. Are you going to do a Libya part two? Yes, I am on Monday.

1:23:19 Okay. And then another thing, your operation, Bladio's kind of catching steam here and more and more people are asking about it in spaces. Where's a good place to direct them to get like, you know, 101 to get started? So probably the best interview is on my Rumble page and it's between Warhamster and I, but I've done either.

1:23:46 Alpha Warriors, the very first Alpha Warrior podcast that him and I did together is Gladio 101. We have a Gladio 101. I do have an article of Gladio 101 on my sub stack. It's called The Primer. It's under Badlands Media, but I'm the writer. And there are several.

1:24:15 It's also pinned right under your profile, a list of all the Gladio spaces that you did and the thread reader. The very first one on that pin was the initial 101 before we launched into the different. But you're absolutely right. I don't know if you guys realize that many of you sent it to me. So I know most of you do realize that.

1:24:44 We made the Y files. Not we. They never mentioned us, of course. But Operation Gladio, they did a podcast for 45 minutes of what it is and the historical nature of it. It was a very good job for 45 minutes because there's so much more, obviously, to it.

1:25:13 Then 45 minutes. The only thing that I would have changed is to end with the understanding that it didn't ever go away. Because you almost get the impression that it's a historical part or operation and not an ongoing one. That would be my only critique of the entire thing. Otherwise, he did an excellent job. Colonel, one more thing.

1:25:43 The WWF, since I know somebody that actually worked in the wrestling arena, we pulled up T-shirts when they were saying, get the F out, the WWF, get the F out. And I'm going to send you some of the templates of those T-shirts. I would love to have get the F out of Africa and have the WWF, get the F out of Africa.

1:26:11 You know, I saw there's still advertising on Facebook for donations to the WWF. And they show this video of these poachers killing the poor elephants. And we know that they did that. Yes, they did. Absolutely. And you would have to actually have, you know, you know how they used to do the T-shirts for a concert where they'd list all the places? We'd have to have, get the F out of.

1:26:40 Africa and, and, and, and, and all the different countries. It'd be awesome. There you go. I like that idea though. I need to have a merchandiser person. I'm looking for volunteers. Huh? What'd you say? Can you hear me? Yeah, I can. Yeah.

1:27:10 Yeah, definitely would save the space on the team. She's rugged, Colonel. Go ahead, Jeff. You're banding a little bit. Go ahead, Jeff. Yes. So then I did have an old school question. Was it Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi that tried to assassinate George H.W. Bush as well? I don't know about that.

1:27:43 Who hit, who, who torpedo or missile, uh, Gaddafi's house in response? I think it was HW, correct? The, um, no, hold on. Um. It doesn't matter. It's been so long ago. I think that that. I think it was Reagan that when we dropped the, uh, um, I don't know.

1:28:11 I think you're right, 100%. So I think he was getting back at them for something. He had tried to pull a plot, and he was blamed for Lockerbie, Scotland. It was the disco. It was the Berlin disco is when we did the bombing run out of England. Copy that. Yeah, that was the retaliation for, because two service, two army guys were killed in that bombing.

1:28:40 But if you go back and look at the Operation Gladio overview of that actual bombing and how it happened, there was some radical elements in Germany at the time that were all part of their Gladio thing, and that all fell right in line with that. Copy, copy that. You hit the nail 100% on the head.

1:29:08 on Muammar Gaddafi being assassinated. That was exactly perfect. I couldn't have said it. There's no way I could have said it as good as you, Colonel, but that was 100%. Thank you. Thanks. Zama, go ahead. Yeah, I just wanted to quickly riff on someone mentioned before, you know, the enslavement and how that's kind of an element of bloody operations. If there's one sort of, I think, important...

1:29:38 detail to remember of the total shitshow and blowback that's happened because of Libya is one of the worst cases now of actual human slavery, open slave markets, human trafficking, and unchecked immigration that's happening because of the overthrow of Gaddafi and what happened. And I can't take that to be a direct sort of

1:30:07 consequential sort of determined effect. I think that's just really part of the total vacuum of power that that, again, shitshow created. And yeah, maybe just on a human element, I mean, what's happening there in terms of the sort of slave markets that go on and the human trafficking and the total, yeah.

1:30:32 disaster that's happening on that front is something just to bear in mind in terms of the human sacrifice of what's going on there. So there's so much in what you just said. I want to make this statement. Having traveled all over the world, this makes no sense to an American, and it is hard for an American

1:31:05 To wrap their head around. What I'm about to say. But. I'm going to say it. And you can. Agree to disagree. You can. Challenge me. Whatever. That's fine. But there are some. Places. In the world. That the people. Are.

1:31:36 their culture is not like ours. The way they deal with people are not like us. And we have no business being in the job of saying

1:32:09 what their government looks like. And we don't want a dictator. We don't want a strong man in charge of our government. We want somebody who is a hands-off, leave my shit alone because we're individual people. That's the culture of America. We're individuals. Our Constitution was written with minimum government.

1:32:38 We don't want you telling us what to do. There are a lot of countries in the world that have lived for 5,000 years under a strongman. That's everything about their culture is developed around having someone tell them what to do. And Zama just pointed out when...

1:33:11 There is no transitional plan, which we are not responsible for making, by the way. It is not our job to tell Libya or Cuba or Chile or anybody else what kind of government they have. It is their job to do it, and it's their job to create a transitional plan. But when another country goes in and chops the head off of

1:33:41 a culture that entire way of life is dictated based on having that head in place, that body is going to flop around in all kinds of manner and be very, very destructive. And I want everybody to grasp this one point. That's the entire fucking reason we do this.

1:34:11 Because in that disarray, we go in and get everything that we want from that culture as it's flopping around dying. That's the entire point of what we're doing with the international syndicate in charge. That's it. They want that chaos. That's called the strategy of tension. That's the entire purpose of the exercise. And that's why we are so committed.

1:34:42 to bring this information to you, shake you hard enough for it to resonate, that we have to collectively stop this. And the way we stop it is by sharing this information and making sure everybody understands what's going on. They revel in the chaos that they create because it allows them taking the resources from that area.

1:35:11 all the easier for them to do. So thank you, Zama, for bringing that up. Jeff, go ahead. That is right on time. My friend that's retired, he said he's been over to Nigeria several times. He said that the warlords of tribes, they'll take over another tribe and they'll burn.

1:35:43 They'll put the leader and his strongmen, his council, and they'll put him in a hole and they'll burn him alive. He said that he's been called in to deal with the prime minister of Nigeria on pirates to get rid of those guys and to get that one warlord. He said he'll never forget it. But I think that Zama brought up a very, very good point that.

1:36:13 Unfortunately, cobalt and lithium and all the things that are needed to be mined are being mined by slaves. Today, this very second, there are slaves being sold all over those strong-armed countries. And you're 100% right. I just have to think back to that Blood Diamond movie to where the strongmen came in from Rhodesia and decimated the boss and the boss of the boss.

1:36:43 And they use kids. They use kids over there. You know, 9, 10, 11 years old are real impressionable. And they become cold-hearted killers by the time they're 10, 11 years old. It's kind of shameful. But slave trade is alive and well in Africa. And thank you, Zama, for bringing that point up with the kids and all. Appreciate that, sir. Miles, go ahead. Colonel, I put those up.

1:37:11 T-shirts and your DMs. I'll help you with merch. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. My number one goal is to get some T-shirts with Gladio glasses. I want everybody walking around with those on. If we could figure out how to get a 3D printer so I could print Gladio glasses and get the glass inserts for them, I definitely would.

1:37:42 We definitely need Gladio glasses. Go ahead, Stellar. Well, I was going to say one of the common denominators that I see with all of these different operations, it seems like, is gaining control of countries to make sure that they're on the banking cabal systems and their monetary systems as well. It's nothing but control. And any of these countries that want to stand up for, you know, I always think, I've always thought that, you know.

1:38:09 the Western banking cabal system or their ways of holding us, you know, bondage within our slavery. And so, and then, so with these different countries, whether it's North Korea or, you know, Libya or some of the North, you know, some of these other countries, Russia, you know, they're all these different places are the enemy to the Western cabal system. If they want to have their quote unquote independence and be sovereign citizens.

1:38:36 and keeping their resources and borders all, you know, within themselves without, you know, and that's what I see happening all over the place. It's more of the domination control of these Satanists. I'll just leave it at that. Yeah, no, I agree 100%. You're absolutely right. Stellar, did you hear that 40 banks in China just failed just like recently this week, 40 banks?

1:39:00 There's been over 40 banks that have fallen over the last six months. The first bank thing that they were talking about and people were posting and stuff, that was actually a bank that was through Evergrande, that same company. And that's why we want to keep an eye on Evergrande because that was one of the ones on the stock market that was like only a dollar, two dollar stock. But when they were having their issues with the first bank runs and stuff like that a couple of years ago,

1:39:29 With people standing up and waiting in line, doing the bank runs and things, they're trying to get their retirement out because it's forced mandatory for these people to put into their retirement stuff within the system. They have no choice. Even if like as these buildings, because that was another big con that was going on, a lot of people would put money down on properties to buy.

1:39:53 And then the construction company, because it's not just the construction, it's not just banking. They're all interweaved together. And when they went bankrupt, people wanted to get their money back. And, you know, the CCP said, you're out of luck. So it was about, like I said, about nine months ago when I saw the first ones going down. So there are way more than that now. You guys can follow. I'll pull up and I'll put it on the bottom of the thing I'm driving right now.

1:40:23 where you can keep track of the banks throughout the world that are collapsing. There's thousands of banks in the last year that have collapsed, two years. Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy. Well, the shell game, they're running out of money. The shell game is coming to an end. And with what's going on with Tether, I talked about it a couple of weeks ago and stuff, how the five stable coins that they were using.

1:40:57 No more and stuff, you know, there's there's a lot of clean outs happening within the financial system and a lot of it is being exposed. And, you know, we have shady three letter agencies that oversee that that are supposed to protect the public, but they don't. So a lot of these different things are being exposed. And because everything is intertwined internationally as well, Evergrande is a stock that you guys people should be watching to keep an eye on it.

1:41:25 just because they did at one time own so much in the United States with their either shell companies or direct companies that were right underneath them and the banking and all that other stuff. So that is something to keep an eye on. But again, they have so many different ways to...

1:41:48 steal money. It fleeced the public, fleeced the system. So yeah, Evergrande is a huge, big company. It did file bankruptcy. I think some of their subsidiary companies, when they went and did theirs, there's, I think, 30 to 300 other companies that were underneath them that folded as well, that were constructions, subcontractors and stuff like that in China. Yeah, that's crazy.

1:42:15 So I'm going to ask everybody to do a favor before they leave the spaces. If you guys will go down into the pill and find at least one or two of the articles that's been posted and repost them. We're trying to break this stranglehold that they have on our account on the algorithm. And it appears that once you break it, it stays gone for about a week. But it's really hard to break it.

1:42:44 And the only way you do it is like a mass amount of people reposting the stuff. We've been able to, if you look on, I don't know if everybody else can see the analytics, but we've been able to bust it like three times. But eventually it starts like making it go to farther down, farther down, farther down. And then it'll level off and it'll stay the same for like three or four days, like almost the exact same number.

1:43:12 For three or four days. And then I'll say something. And it like goes crazy again. Because you guys all go repost a bunch of stuff. So we're going to just have to keep on it. Because it does seem that every time we bust it. A whole bunch of followers come. Because they see the information for the first time. We start appearing because the algorithm gets broke. We start appearing on people's feeds again. So.

1:43:38 It just incrementally grows by you guys doing that. So I hate to keep bringing it up, but I'm passionate about getting this information out. And I appreciate all of you guys help in doing that. What you got, Jeff? So then everybody should repost this space when they first get in here. If you love this space, please repost it. And then also follow the people that are.

1:44:08 that are up in the podcast and the speakers that are talking. If you like what they have to say, follow them. And if they like what you say, they'll follow back. And the people that are down in the listener section, we could always use extra people up top that have a question. We're here. And there's something else I missed, Colonel. I'll have to think about it. That's all right. That's fine. Yep. Benjamin.

1:44:37 I was going to say, even if you guys do a repost, like you retweet or repost the space or the stuff that Cousin It and Colonel Towner and Bridget have, even if you just put emojis on it, you know, do the boom emojis, do 100%, because that does make a difference. If you have a friend that's interested in this stuff, tag your friend in it, you know, because then that way it also opens it up to have other people look at it, too. Oh, yes. I remember now, Colonel.

1:45:07 I truly believe that everybody and everybody that's listening, they can just pull a pen out and a paper pad and start writing things down and learn something. The people that are here and the people that are there. I truly believe that everybody listens to us. And because it's open mic for the computer hackers. Right. So I was talking to Mike Benz on Sunday evening when he was in London.

1:45:37 And I actually forget what the whole chat was about, but it was high-end cyber intelligence. And I asked him, I said, have you heard anything from Julian Assange? And he said that he didn't hear. He said that he didn't hear anything. And I forget, somebody else from England posted in and made a very, very, very good comment. Because we know that...

1:46:06 He was not charged officially with anything. And they were holding him without bail, which is illegal in American England. That's illegal. And I swear, on Monday morning, I got up and they freed him. And I just, I don't know if it's just a weird coincidence, but we were discussing it on Sunday evening. And on that Monday morning, they freed him. It was kind of strange, just weird.

1:46:34 So, yeah, just spread this around because people are listening and I'll end. Thank you, Colonel. Sure. Go ahead, Bridget. I was just going to, you know, he was talking about writing notes. That's how this whole thing started. I kept on taking notes as the colonel was going through books and making links to this, that and the other thing. And then the next thing you know, the notes.

1:47:02 The way my brain works, if I write it down, I will remember it. If I listen to it, I will remember it a little bit. But if I write it down, I will not forget it. And then I kept on making links and kept on posting links. And the next thing you know, we were collaborating about, well, wasn't he involved in this and wasn't he involved in that? And boy, I tell you what, it makes a difference. And, you know, it refines.

1:47:32 your vision to see through the lies that they are telling us and, um, keeps you from being emotion and emotional punching bag as they try and hype things up in the news. And then you can pretty easily start poking logical holes in arguments, you know? Yeah, that is exactly how it started. Um, we had originally, um,

1:48:02 A little bigger group, but I started doing book reviews and posts on True Social about information that I found astonishing. And like-minded people started interacting with those posts. And Bridget and Cousin It are off. It's left. We wore the rest of them out or pissed them off.

1:48:31 Well, I have a tendency to piss people off, so I'm going to go with the latter. Yeah, these are the hardcore people that can hang during the tough and good of this journey through rediscovering what our real history is. So it definitely is not for the weak of heart.

1:48:55 Yeah. And, you know, you've spoken about this a couple of times. I think the hardest thing for most all of us is the corruption of the religious aspect of all of this. And, you know, it's been the Islam. It's been Judaism. It's been Christianity. All of them have been corrupted.

1:49:19 And when you point out the corruption without necessarily blaming any one particular religion, people get very offended and they clam up. But, you know, it is part of it. And, you know, it needs to be called out. You know, there are all of these, but it is the hardest. And we do lose most of the people because of the religious aspect of it.

1:49:49 And quite frankly, that is the reason why we developed the label international syndicate, because it transcends religion. It transcends politics. There is no such thing as left and right. That's another made up bullshit thing. It transcends every aspect of our life. It is literally us against them. That's the bottom line. Us against them. Right. It's not left.

1:50:19 Yeah, we're the patriots. They're the international syndicate. And so we came up with the title international syndicate because it's generic enough to incorporate all of them. But it also annotates. I don't like I love Mike Benz to death, but I don't like the term blob because the blob is just like a big fat like HR puff and stuff back in the day. It's just a blob. This is criminal. This is.

1:50:49 International criminality, and I wanted something that was much more pointed to indicate what they are engaging in is criminality against the world population. Colonel, do you think that Mike, considering he's probably going to be on some type of cabinet position for President Trump, he uses that term just so he doesn't have to point the finger at you?

1:51:18 at each individual specific person, place, or thing because maybe he just is... I'm not criticizing him, Jeff. I'm not criticizing him. I don't choose to use it because it's too generic. I don't have any political aspirations. I don't know why he uses it. It's probably just something that he came up with and that's fine. I'm telling you why I don't like it because I don't think it's pointed enough.

1:51:48 A blob is nebulous. A blob does not have any ill intent. These people are criminals. They know they're engaging in criminal intent. So that's my personal thing. It's nothing against him. I love him to death. I think you're 100% right. Oh, sorry, go ahead. No, please go ahead, sir.

1:52:14 Go ahead, Zamba. Yeah, no, I just wanted to jump in there. I would agree with that because I think there's a lot of terminology that gets thrown around that I think is quite politicized for various reasons. You know, we're in heated campaigns. We're probably one of the most divisive times in American history. Europe is the same. So a lot of these terms are very, very heavily politicized, whether it's blob, whether it's deep state, whether it's globalist.

1:52:43 They lose meaning. And I think one of the interesting, at least with calling things a syndicate is the way at least I see it, is that it does break also a little bit this narrative that when we look at these cases of blatant criminality that you've been highlighting so well historically, and the way that they reflect on similar operations that are happening in the present, is that they are not one nation state.

1:53:12 You know, and this isn't all the CIA or this agency versus that agency, right? And I think we can really get into these traps of saying, oh, we found the bogeyman and here we go. And that's really a little bit of limited hangout there, right? Because there is some truth in that, but it's not the full picture. And I think when we really do look at the full picture, you really do get a network of operations of...

1:53:39 of oligarchic interests, you want to put it one way, of international, I mean, syndicate is a great word because it really does describe the way that a lot of these operators, in the way that their international finance is used to back them up, to support these operations in the way that...

1:54:00 in the way that they're using third party operators, mercenaries and the likes to operate. And time and time again, as people are saying, these patents are very similar, but they are not just one state actor. They are not just one, oh, here's the bad guy and case closed. It would be easy if that was the case.

1:54:26 So, yeah, that's sort of my thinking behind that, because I think the more we look into all of these cases, the more you do get a very, very enmeshed international picture of how these things are actually operating. And in a way that the world is more interconnected than ever, the blowback is also equally international in scale, right? I mean, something that's happening in Libya is affecting.

1:54:53 you know, because of now migration, what's happening politically in Europe. And similarly, what's happening now in South Saharan Africa with the coups going on. So you really have to have this bit of a wider picture as much as it's important to get into the tight details of each case. But anyway, sorry, that's my two cents. So again, Zamba, well done. Words matter. It took me about six months.

1:55:22 at the beginning of this endeavor, to craft international syndicate because of some of the controversy that we experienced over on True Social. And every single time we brought a new piece of the puzzle up, even before we discovered Operation Gladio, it was...

1:55:48 Oh, it's all the Jews. Oh, it's all the Catholics. Oh, it's all the Jesuits. Oh, it's all of the British, you know, the London blah, blah, blah. Club of Rome. Illuminati. Skull and bones. OK, hold on. Let me finish, Jeff. Come on. So the when when I started getting that pushback.

1:56:17 I knew immediately what was going on. They shut you down from exposing truth by the word police. And I was not going to allow that to happen. It was a very specific, again, and I'm not trying to pat myself on the back, but I spent 30 years in war game planning on.

1:56:46 how to craft narratives on how you approach an enemy. And because words are so important in their PR campaign, they spend hundreds of millions of dollars crafting narratives. And I'm not saying international syndicate is a narrative. I'm saying it's the counter.

1:57:16 to their narrative. So you cannot derail me when I point out that the banker is Jewish, that it's all Jews to discount the information that I'm providing, because I've got to F you for you. You can't discount when I tell you the Knights of Malta, because it's a Catholic secret society. Oh, it's all the Jesuits. I got to F you for you too, because it's not any one of those. It's all of those.

1:57:46 And you're either a criminal or you're a patriot and you can take your left and right, your R's and D's and all that other crap and stick them where the sun don't shine. Go ahead, Benjamin. Love all that.

1:58:03 Just to highlight, you know, the degree of which words matter and, you know, the degree of which, you know, things aren't always obvious, the significance of something like go back to around 2020 when Joe Biden got on national TV, when the whole COVID pandemic was going on and he got on national TV and he told the vaccinated that the unvaccinated were killing them. He was being specific in who he was targeting.

1:58:33 If everybody remembers correctly, there's a lot of people still scared about COVID. But back in 2020, it was just out of this world. There was videos all over the web of people getting into fights and attacking people because of people getting into arguments about masks.

1:58:51 You know, somebody wants you to wear a mask and now they're fighting over a Walmart. You know, they were being specific in who they were targeting. That's why Colonel has to say international syndicate, because they'll twist things upside down and turn things upside down because this is all angles. And what they do is they know how to create an enemy. They know how to argument or combat different arguments. You know, they've got think tanks for think tanks in all of this.

1:59:19 And the fact that they're squirming the way they are and trying to silence what the colonel and these wonderful ladies are putting out shows you that they're over the target. That's why, like, when Colonel, she's one of the few people that every post she puts out.

1:59:35 I see on my feed. I see on my timeline. I want to be able to see everything that she posts out. And a lot of times I'll see her making comments on somebody else's posts. And that's what brings me into the overall main post of what she was commenting on. That's why all these little things that are put into the pill down below, I...

1:59:54 I like them and I retweet all of them out because something like that, you know, it's not an exact thing. My timeline doesn't hit the same as yours and it doesn't come in the same order. Colonel posted something five hours ago and.

2:00:07 I'm seeing something on my timeline now that she posted a day ago. That's why you've got to retweet all these things because it drives it up to where they'll eventually see it. Because a lot of people are out there just skimming through different comments and posts, and then they stumble onto something. That's why it's so important.

2:00:26 Like Colonel was saying earlier, there'll be times where they'll start getting a lot of new followers. And that's what we need. We need more people to be aware because awareness, just that word right there is so significant in all of this. You know, go back to 2020, you know, when Trump was saying the election was stolen, how many people heard that and was like, ain't no way. And then now you're looking at it now and it's like, holy cow, that was there the whole time. So, yeah.

2:00:54 The way this all is, it's out of this world. That's why finding good people like the Colonel and these ladies, that's what I look for. I sit in an audience and I listen to people for days, weeks, months, just to figure out who they are and hear where they're coming from. It's the ability to watch somebody when they don't know that you're looking. Take DC, take all these politicians and all these bad actors. They know we're watching them now. Now they're tiptoeing around.

2:01:24 And I'll land there. Oh, one last thing. Uh, went to court today and we adopted the two little ones officially. Oh, congratulations, Benjamin. Congratulations. Congratulations, sir. That's so awesome. Yeah. Yeah. We got to, uh, it was a big old thing. We had like 30 people there, you know, we had CPS there, you know, a lot, a lot of people involved in.

2:01:54 That's something that I'm big about. So my grandmother is Native. She's Native American. All men, that's father to a child. All women, that's mother. It wasn't Pam. It wasn't Miss Stewart. That's mom. That's dad. That's how you raise children, a village. That's awesome. Congratulations. I know that is a...

2:02:22 My hairdresser is a foster parent and she goes through hell sometimes with these kids and has went down the adoption route. So God bless you. So awesome. Benjamin, just so you know, everybody is saying congratulations on Rumble as well. Oh, thank you, everybody. It's like this.

2:02:52 My mom, she was in the foster care system. She was raped, you know, 20, 30 times by foster fathers, you know, all kinds of different people. So, you know, when we talk about words are important, you know, when identifying something for what it is, you know, you'll hear a lot of times men this and men that and men this. And it's like, you got to be specific because I'm a man. Not every guy out here in this world is a man. You know, that's why we had.

2:03:20 words like man. That's why we have words like gentlemen. That's why we have words like animal, you know, because there's a lot of guys out here that are animals. I've seen plenty of them. You know, we have a lot of people that are still children, even in 20s, 30s, you know, it just is what it is. You are what you are based on your environment and the way you see the world. So you're better than just a man. You're a father.

2:03:50 We're going to, we're right at, well, we're actually over the two hour mark. So we're going to bring this to a close, but I do have to share this just because I love the nature of what we talk about is so heavy. Most of the time I do like to add a little levity and my husband is good for, always good for levity. We have a running joke in our house where

2:04:18 He likes to watch the ticker. He usually does it with no sound. The business, either Fox Business or CNBC, because of the ticker, he does day trading stuff. And so we generally have that on one of the televisions in the house somewhere during the day. And if the volume's down low, my joke or my kind of...

2:04:46 input because I don't follow any of that crap. Not that I don't understand it. I just don't. It drives me nuts because I think it's all fake. So anyway, I have noticed because I have my master's degree is in business and I love the marketing aspect of it. So those were my favorite classes. And so I pay attention to commercials from a marketing perspective and you can get.

2:05:15 trends of what they're pushing. It's all propaganda. So what are they trying to culturally push on us? And of course, we all can tell the generic aspects of commercials. But one of the themes that have been for the last several years, the most predominant one is dumb white males. So when you talk about men, Benjamin,

2:05:43 My brain goes immediately to the counter narrative of strong men are a detriment to where they want to take us and put us on a cattle train and control us because they can't do that without substituting strong men. And every single commercial that is on nowadays.

2:06:12 is a dumb white male it doesn't matter who else is in the commercial whether it's a kid whether it's a woman whether it's other men there's going to be a dumb white male in the commercial and so i'll just be passing through the room and there'll be one of those commercials on and i'll look over at my husband dumb white male dumb white male um because it's just so apparent at this point go ahead yeah

2:06:41 Well, now you know why I don't turn the TV on. I have one. It hasn't been on in three years, maybe. But before we go, a couple of questions as to what time we are going to pick from now on. And also, Froggy, you need to tell people about your spaces tonight, please.

2:07:07 Oh, sure. Since Marie didn't share it and I'm doing this space for her, I'll be happy to let people know. I had to tag her in it. It's going to be at 4 o'clock West Coast time, 7 o'clock East Coast time. It should be a great space. Marie is brilliant. And she's done a lot of research on it. She's been so focused on doing her threads that she can't take the time to just share her space. So if everybody could share it.

2:07:35 I don't post my spaces in other people's spaces, but it should be really good. No, absolutely. Go ahead and do that. It's a continuation of her uranium space that she did. And I do want to say, you can't watch any TV, any sitcom where there is a strong white male. You can't even have a sitcom where they're the same.

2:08:04 colored couple i hate the term race we're the human race we're all equal but yeah they're the propaganda is that the white male is a dumb male when stupidity comes in every shape and color and size regardless of where you come from um so i am posting this so if you can hold it open for just for a second i absolutely will post that in there and please everybody i agree with um frogger absolutely um you guys listen to

2:08:33 that podcast or spaces and do your own due diligence in researching the stuff because what I, and I tell this to everybody, you guys need to, everything that we share, all of the links that Bridget and Cousin It put in there, go click on them. Go research yourself. Read the rest of the story. I'm just giving you the highlights.

2:08:59 We're not covering every single thing, but we do select articles that do cover all of this stuff in depth. And I think it's very important for you guys to begin doing your own research and forming your own opinion. That's the reason why we came to Spaces. We're not saying that we have all of the answers. Anybody that wants to do their own research and even like...

2:09:29 Two weeks from now, you come across something that has to do with Libya. We want you up in the speaker area and we want you to say, hey, you know what? You know, when you said X, I was reading Y. Why do you think that's the case? How do you reconcile those two? That's the whole reason we brought this presentation to spaces and not just on Rumble, because I want that interaction. I want people to be able to share.

2:10:00 Because we have people from all over the world on Spaces. And I want everybody to be able to share that. Did you have anything else, Frog? Yeah, I just wanted to say I'm really sad that you did Operation Gladio and finally got to Libya. Because that covers the Arab Spring. You could just go through the whole list of Tunisia, you know, every country that was involved, Egypt. I mean, there's so much to it. I mean, that's...

2:10:29 That's a series in itself. There's going to be a part two. I want to be there. Libya part two on Monday. And Cousin It put me on the spot without having us have a discussion on what time that's going to be. I'm ready to go. I am ready to go. I'm telling you right now, when you do that Libya space, I got so much sauce. I've done an Arab Spring space. Let's go. And I also apologize.

2:10:57 For not being there. I've just been really busy today. I finally told my employee, I'm out. Peace. You got it. I'm done. All right. So let's say noon on Monday. We're going to go back to noon and make it a little easier for the deconflicting of other people's spaces. And we'll go from there. Go ahead, Benjamin.

2:11:25 Just one last thing. He's pulling a Vivek. Can you hear him taking a piss in the background? No, that's correct. Don't judge me. Bacon. That's bacon. Strong stream, Benjamin. Strong stream. Like how I look at my relationships when I interact with people, it's something I learned a long time ago. Every relationship I go into.

2:11:51 I visualize like a pot or a cauldron, you know, and it's like making a stew, you know. So one thing I work on is putting good ingredients into that stew with people, you know. That's why I love the military, you know. You got all these sailors and it's like we surround you with good people and we want to put good things into you, you know. I say these things because it's echoes, you know. That's part of what life is, you know, the ripple effect, things like that, you know.

2:12:21 actively caused ripples in the pool of life throughout my whole life. You know, I've always treated people with dignity and respect. And the reason being is because, you know, I have very, very, very humble beginnings and that's, that's just highlighting something, you know, and that's something that can be unpacked. You know, a lot of this stuff that the Colonel and all of us talk about, you know, there's more to it. It's like, I can describe to you the highlights of a movie, but until you watch that movie yourself,

2:12:51 That's when you get the full spectrum of what's going on, you know, and that's why, you know, take these ladies on what they say. Get in there and read some of this stuff. Watch some of these videos about it, you know, and then that'll bring you up to the severity of, you know, what we're dealing with when it comes to these types of people. You know, people don't know what they don't know. If they're not aware that it's out there, they'll not know that it exists. So that's why we're constantly out here putting ripples into the pool of,

2:13:21 all of this because we want good people to be in charge because we know what that looks like when it happens. In the military, we're not perfect. There's bad leaders, but there's also really good leaders. And there's a huge difference. You as an individual are a tool. One tool is better than the other. So if we can get more good tools out here in America, if we can build our...
