0:00 Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for having the patience of my time off over the last several days. It's been quite a crazy few days. I want to talk just briefly about that. And then we're going to jump into and we're going to do something very different on Singapore only because.

0:26 You guys have to meet the guy that was basically the foundation of Singapore. And the best way to do that is through some interviews he conducted. He's quite amazing, actually. I had the chance of talking to, at our Air War College, the Singaporean officer that was sent to Air War College that year at length.

0:57 And he had such glowing things to say about this man and his inspiration. He kind of is what we all thought Reagan was when he wasn't. And what we imagined JFK would have been had he been allowed to live as far as his wisdom and a nonsense, non.

1:26 He basically didn't take anything from anybody. And he's very, very funny. So I want to share with you a couple of interviews that I found so you can hear him talk about this in his own words because he's quite amazing, actually. So we're going to do something that we've not done before. And hopefully that'll work out. You guys can hear and understand what he's saying because it's quite.

1:57 So just a little bit about the past several days. I did go Friday night to see the Tucker Carlson show. Russell Brand and John Rich were there. What an amazing show. So first off, they're all actual friends off camera and text each other quite often. So there's a camaraderie there that was very apparent.

2:26 in the interaction between the three. And it ended up where Tucker Carlson, other than his initial solo performance, and I will tell you what the gist of that was, the actual show with the three of them was really a dialogue between John Rich.

2:51 and Russell Brand. And you could categorize that interfaith as the Christian who has been a Christian forever and Russell Brand, who was a six-month-old Christian. And he kept antagonizing John Rich with his insistence of kind of paraphrasing things that John had said in the past to him about demanding him.

3:20 uh, you know, in his new Christianity that, you know, you need to do this, that, or the other in a funny kind of way. And, um, he showed up in a, what you could only say, and you guys can go look at some of the mini clips that Tucker has posted about the show, a English knockoff version of a country Western shirt and tight jeans.

3:50 It was hilarious looking. And during the show, John Rich brought out, making fun of Tucker Carlson wearing loafers with no sock, a pair of his own cowboy boots, which was red, white, and blue. Now, mine obviously looked better, but it was hilarious. And one of the funny things that kind of depicted the entire night was John Rich said,

4:20 that he had just learned that the 11 and a half cowboy boot was not big enough for Tucker. And Tucker says, yeah, I wear a 12 and a half not to brag or anything. And so, of course, the entire audience laughed. And that was kind of.

4:42 depicted the entire evening of the banter back and forth. But I did want to share with you kind of the mainstream thought of Tucker's comments when he was out there initially by himself. And he pointed out in a multitude of different ways the insanity that is going on in the world today where you have

5:10 what we refer to as the international syndicate, telling the entire world, don't believe your eyes, believe up when they're lying to you and you know they're lying to you. And their insistence that you believe them, even though you know they're lying to you, is a psychological game to them.

5:39 And it is a proven tactic in the psyops war where they basically make people who don't interact with others think they're going insane. And it's all on purpose. And he spent a good portion of the time that he had allotted during that segment to point out the obvious. And of course, he used COVID a lot where we all knew math didn't work. And yet.

6:09 All of the people that you were taught to, that you were supposed to trust, got up in front of you and lied to your faith. We all knew when they did the whole six feet bullshit that they were lying to us. And yet so many people complied with it, even though they knew they were being lied to. And those types of things, and I mean, he used other examples, but he,

6:39 said his purpose in doing this show was to go around and make sure everybody in the United States understood you don't have to go along with anything. If you recognize somebody is lying to you, call them out. Tell them you know they're lying to you and tell them to go to hell, that you're not complying. And that's far different than some of these people who get on here and spout out about.

7:09 You know, violence and all this other stuff. Violence is not going to get us where we need to go. What will get us where we need to go is the determination that we're all going to stand shoulder to shoulder, holding hands against the international syndicate and non comply. And just like we are seeing the standing together play out.

7:39 in the rescue initiatives of so many people, not the government, because we don't fucking need the government. The government should be a 1% size of what it is and we all help each other out. We don't need the government and these people, I'm telling you, I get so frustrated. Yeah, I wish we had that.

8:05 $80 billion to give to each other. No, no, we don't. We don't want any of the government money going to us or anyone else. It's a no either way. We don't want our money going overseas and we don't want my tax dollars to be spent by the government because inherently when they spend my money, they do so inefficiently.

8:32 I want to spend my money helping my fellow countrymen out. I want to spend my time driving my ass up to North Carolina, which I volunteered to do at least four different times over the last 24 hours. If anybody needs it, I will carry the drone batteries up there from Fort Lauderdale. I will do any of that stuff. I don't want the government anywhere in it. And that's what we need to do.

8:58 It is not a matter of redirecting an overburdensome tax taxation that is illegal, according to the Constitution. We should not be paying direct taxes. They are proportioned to the state. That's the way it needs to go back to. And I don't want any of it being spent on my behalf. I want to spend my own money. So having said that, I want to get into.

9:27 Singapore. And I'll probably, there's some other stuff to talk about Singapore, but I want to introduce you to this man because I did a lot of research into him back in the early 2000s. And this man is amazing. So I'm going to play you the first clip and it is a long clip. But I, and I'm not going to stop it. I just want you guys to listen to it. Bridget, open your mic and you make sure that you can hear this. If you can't hear it, let me know.

9:56 right away. Yes, ma'am. So. A is one that mixes mystery, political moves, and the rise of a strong leader who outsmarts one of the world's most powerful spy agencies. Sounds good. It is a tale of standing up, national independence, and smart political skills that would shape Singapore's position on the world stage. There are four key lessons from this story that can guide us in our daily lives at the end of the video. Chapter one, the suspicion. The early 1960s were turbulent years for Southeast Asia.

10:28 Colonial powers were retreating and newly independent nations were pushing for political identity and survival. In the fog of this chaos was Singapore, a tiny city-state with no natural resources situated at a strategic maritime crossroads. The island's leadership was under the control of a new energetic leader, Lee Kuan Yew. Lee had ambitions for Singapore, a grand vision of transforming this small fragmented colony into a prosperous and modern nation.

10:54 What lay ahead for him was not only internal struggles, but also the tricky game of geopolitics. The United States, embroiled in deeply suspicious of communist influences in Asia, had turned its eyes towards Singapore. In 1965, Lee Kuan Yew, now prime minister, made a decision that would define his relationship with the superpowers. He sought to ensure Singapore's independence and economic survival by aligning with the West.

11:19 He was no puppet. His trueness, determination, and desire to protect Singapore's autonomy would set him on a collision course with the CIA. Chapter two, rising tensions. The United States saw the rise of communism in Southeast Asia as an existential threat. With Vietnam inching towards full-scale war, Washington's desire to prevent communism from taking root in other parts of Asia had intensified. Lee Kuan Yew, though not a communist, was seen as an unpredictable leader by the West.

11:47 His People's Action Party had leftist elements, and there was growing concern that he could potentially lean towards socialist or communist ideals. The United States was afraid that the domino effect theory might happen with the spread of communism, so they went all out to stop it in Vietnam and other Asian countries. For anyone unfamiliar with the domino effect theory, here's a brief explanation. It describes how one event can trigger a series of similar events, like a chain reaction. Imagine a line of dominoes.

12:14 When the first one falls, it causes the others to topple one by one. This idea is often used to explain how one action can lead to a bigger impact over time. In politics, the theory was used during the Cold War to explain how the spread of communism might happen. The United States believed that if one country in a region became communist, neighboring countries would follow, just like a line of falling dominoes. This idea led the US to intervene in places like Vietnam to stop the first domino from falling. By 1960,

12:43 CIA operatives were embedded throughout the region. They worked secretly, attempting to gather intelligence on Lee's intentions, who his allies were, and whether Singapore could be turned into a defensive line against communist influence. However, Lee was always a step ahead. He was well aware of the spies in his country. The early stages of Singapore's administration saw Lee play a dangerous game. In public, he courted Western support, securing economic deals and defense agreements. But behind closed doors, he quietly built an independent intelligence organization.

13:12 The Internal Security Department, ISD, modeled on the British system designed to counter any foreign interference. One day, an intercepted communication confirmed Lee's suspicions. There was a CIA network operating in Singapore, funneling money to opposition parties to destabilize his government. The report was explosive. The superpower was interfering in Singapore's fragile democracy. Chapter three, Lee strikes back. What happened next was not what the CIA had expected. Most leaders.

13:41 Fearing the wrath of the United States would have buried such evidence. Lee, however, decided to take an audacious step. He would confront the U.S. directly. Lee's invitation to the U.S. embassy in Singapore was laced with diplomacy, but sharpened with the threat of exposure. The American ambassador sat across from Lee when he presented the evidence. The room was thick with tension. In a cold, measured voice, Lee Kuan Yew made it clear that he was not to be trifled with. Singapore might be small, but its sovereignty was not for sale.

14:10 he demanded the immediate termination of all CIA activities on Singaporean soil. And in a final calculated blow, Lee hinted that if the US didn't comply, he would go public with the scandal, exposing the CIA's interference to the world. The threat was enough to send Washington into a scramble. In the height of the Cold War, the US couldn't afford a scandal that would undermine its credibility among emerging nations. The American government knew that Lee was not bluffing. Hear this from Lee Kuan Yew himself.

14:39 I want to be quite frank with you. If the British withdraw, I'm prepared to go on with the Australians and the New Zealanders. But I'm not prepared to go on with the Americans. Hello, Mr. Prime Minister. Why do you think the Americans... Can I put it this way? I think there are highly intelligent, well-meaning people. Some of their leaders, like Kennedy, the late president, have signs of growing greatness. Yes.

15:15 You know, by and large, the administration has a statement of wisdom which comes out of an accumulation of knowledge of human beings and human citizens over a long period of time. And it's not, therefore, what have they got, 300, 400 years of history, and they've become a nation just recently. You know, I'll tell you this. I've had three experiences, only three experiences with the Americans.

15:50 And they did not intend any harm in each one of them. The tragedy was they did real harm. This is old stuff now. An American CIA agent trying to subvert our intelligence special branch officer. So that the special branch officer will see the CIA. Because the CIA wants to know what's happening. I mean subverting a Singapore officer. A man.

16:26 might have succeeded. But I'm proud to say that the officer offered large sums of money and continuing sums of money. This was in 1960. But the matter was more than that. He was locked up. It was on razor's edge whether we charged him and opened court on him. Now, let me explain this. When I told the American government, keep quiet, you take this man away, $100 million to the Singapore government for economic development.

17:12 No, no, listen to me. I didn't tell, you know, I never spoke to the Americans direct because, you know, they lack the finesse and they may say, yes, they give it to you. Why not? Why should the Singapore government just give to you, to me, which would have ruined me. Through an intermediary, they offered me and my party $10 million. I mean the insult. I told them to keep it. No, no, this is important. Do not forget this.

17:48 And this is why I want, I have not the slightest doubt that my two colleagues, Dr. Thor and Dr. Mr. Roger, on this war of Afro-Asia, which was soon as the local affairs, I have the slightest doubt that Afro-Asia will be, but if you go with an American base, with American sovereignty, and not an American, the North is going to fall off the mission and have to make the same consequences.

18:36 Read until you see what we can learn from the exchanges near the end of the video. Okay. Basically, let me go up just a little bit further. Singapore's independence. And laid out a narrative of Singapore as a sovereign state standing against foreign manipulation. The announcement was a masterpiece. By exposing the operation, Lee demonstrated his control over the situation.

19:04 It positioned him as the protector of Singapore's fragile democracy, someone who would not bow to external pressure, not even from a superpower like the United States. Chapter five, the CIA's humiliation. Behind the scenes, the CIA was furious and humiliated. They had underestimated Lee Kuan Yew's resolve and political savvy. They had miscalculated and now had not only thwarted their plans, but had also dealt a significant blow to their credibility in Southeast Asia in a rare and shocking move.

19:33 The US State Department agreed to Lee's demands. The CIA operatives involved were recalled, and the US issued a diplomatic apology, though unofficial, to Singapore. The covert interference had backfired. Instead of destabilizing Lee's government, it had fortified it. The scandal turned Lee into a hero for his people, a leader who had stood up to the world's most powerful nation and emerged victorious. From that moment forward, Lee would maintain a careful but firm relationship with the US and other powers.

20:02 which helped to harden his image as an unyielding defender of Singapore's independence. Chapter six, The Lion Roars. In the years following the CIA debacle, Lee Kuan Yew transformed Singapore into one of the most prosperous and stable nations in the world. His iron-fisted leadership style, though often criticized, was effective. Singapore became known as the Lion City, a powerful economic force despite its size. The shadow of that confrontation with the CIA never fully disappeared.

20:31 It became part of the legend of Lee Kuan Yew, a leader who, against all odds, defied the odds and the might of the world's most powerful intelligence agency. The lesson Lee imparted was clear. No matter how small a nation might be, it could stand tall if led with determination, intelligence, and fearlessness. Here are the four lessons that we can draw from this story. Lesson number one. Okay, they're going to basically just go over what we just went over.

21:00 I found that clip, frankly, amazing for lots of different reasons. But number one, let me just illustrate to you again a point we've driven home multiple times. Let's look at who he would have been talking about. So if you go back and you look from 1966, April to September 1966.

21:30 which was around the time that Lee Kuan Yew was talking about, we had a U.S. ambassador, which was really kind of, it was the first one in 1966. His name was, let's see, Richard Donald. And he was technically a charge.

22:01 because we were just establishing diplomatic ties. And he was very short-lived. He may have been the one that was actually there and immediately fired. But interestingly enough, the guy that they replaced him with, Francis Galbraith, if you look him up,

22:27 You find out that he, like many of the people back then, served in the Army during World War II. He immediately joins the Foreign Service, which makes it look like that he was recruited probably via the OSS into a CIA-type Foreign Service role.

22:51 He was initially in 46 assigned to the vice consul in Hamburg, which would be Germany, which is where we know Operation Gladio came from. Then he went to Batavia in basically Jakarta. And I find that extremely interesting. He then moves on to guess where? Indonesia.

23:21 So he's like the chief of what would have been the State Department CIA counterpart in Indonesia, which puts him there in the initial planning of the overthrowing of Sukarno. He then gets appointed to Singapore and then goes back at the height of the CIA takeover of Indonesia.

23:50 when they were cooing that government. Now, you will not find it at all strange when you look at what he did after he quote-unquote retired from the State Department. He goes to work for Bechtel, and oh my gosh, look at that, Freeport, Indonesia. Where have we heard Freeport, Indonesia? Well, that's the company that was stealing the gold from Indonesia after the CIA cooed them.

24:19 Those are the guys that's messing with this prime minister. And as you might imagine from his comment about he could go, he could do without the UK, he would stay with the New Zealand and Australia as part of the quote unquote British empire, because they were like Hong Kong, part of the British colony system.

24:49 Up until a few years after that incident that he was talking about with the CIA. So I found one more. It's very lengthy. So I'll probably stop in the middle of this. But I want you to listen to this. Because this is our press. This guy is so freaking smart.

25:10 in the way he handled it. So not only did he foil the CIA and stick a finger in the eye of the United States State Department, and they're playing around through Johnson. Listen to this exchange here. This is so incredible. And a lesson should be learned of everybody in dealing with the United States by this guy, because he's an expert. I'm going to start this one.

25:50 The Prime Minister of Singapore. The Prime Minister of Singapore. First question now from Colleen Frederick of NBC.

27:02 So he's talking about wanting more.

27:08 Vietnamese brains and participation than the U.S.?

27:45 Well, let me ask you this. 47 heads of delegation from the Central Assembly, American bombing of the US. Do you agree with that? Depends who the 47 heads are. Are they from Africa, from Asia, from Western Europe? They were all over the world. There are about, what, 120 members? 122 of them. That's 47.

28:18 Bridget's saying you guys are having trouble hearing that. He's basically saying that they're putting words in his mouth. So she's asking him, do you think that the bombing of North Vietnam is appropriate? And he qualifies everything. Hey, I don't beat my wife. That's like asking me if I beat my wife. I don't beat my wife.

28:48 In each and every time that they're trying to catch him in a gotcha, he outmaneuvers these questions. Let me just. I mean, my buddy said that also she said that there's 40 some nations that said that we shouldn't be bombing North Vietnam to the extent that we are and over the time period that we are. And he said, well, that depends on who the 40 some people are.

29:20 And he's talking about his foreign minister is going to the U.N. He's going to talk about that, and he's not going to participate in that. So let me get to the next guy.

30:01 So again, he's calling out their manipulation of bombing campaigns as it relates to elections in the United States. He is clearly telling them he knows what their game is, that they orchestrate.

30:19 the strategy of tension, escalation versus de-escalation around election cycles. He's just brilliant at being able to counter their narrative. How does Kennedy win by not being Mr. Nixon? In other words, are you saying that the Vietnamese, North Vietnamese, should come to the conference table and there would be a settlement?

30:49 that President Trump would win the next election. And by the same token, what he'd do is that there is not a piece of it. I don't think it's a piece of it. I mean, you're putting words in, you're putting a form of words in a tight and, I think, imprecise way. The word is not, it's not blank. Right? If it were something, and if it had not worked with your president, it doesn't.

31:26 So again, she's just correlating it. And he's telling her, you are trying to put words in my mouth. I'm not saying any of that stuff. And you're formulating your foreign policy around an election is clearly obvious to the rest of the world. Bridget, I don't know what you're talking about when you're asking me about my microphone. On your phone.

31:55 On the upper right-hand corner, if you drag down, you should see, like, microphone option. Uh-huh. And it'll have voice isolation or wide spectrum. It says mic mode voice isolation. Okay. You may want to try wide spectrum to see if it catches it. Okay. All right. I did. All right. Let's try it. Okay. Thank you. And things can become very complicated, really, if it weren't.

32:23 So I really don't want to go into all the intricacies because it can take so many twists and turns as Panmunjom did. So all I would like to say as an outsider is, will we all, in the name of humanity and for the sake of human civilization, take great care that there is no miscalculation on the reactions, not only of the North Vietnamese, but of the Russians and of the Chinese. Because there must be a point.

32:55 at which they must react. Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister. We'll be back with Meet the Press and more questions for our guest, the Prime Minister of Singapore. But first, this message. Back to Meet the Press, an unrehearsed press conference. Please remember questions of the panel members... Unrehearsed, as opposed to the ones we have now. Here is our moderator, Edwin Newman. Presuming our interview, our guest today on Meet the Press is the Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew. You've just met...

33:27 Elaine Frederick of NBC News. The other reporters on our panel are Roland Evans of the Chicago Sun-Times, Seymour Topping of the New York Times, and Crosby Noyes of the Washington Evening Star. Lauren C. Spivak, permanent member of the Meet the Press panel, will be back next Sunday. We'll continue the questions now with Mr. Evans. Mr. Prime Minister, you said in a recent speech, quote, the wrong kind of conclusion to the mess in Vietnam can absolutely unscramble the whole lot of us.

33:56 in Southeast Asia. What did you mean by unscramble the whole lot of us? One of the problems in Southeast Asia is that there's relatively new and fragile independent nations. They've just become a great problem. And it melts very easily because particularly in the world over, they want to be on the winning side. But in Southeast Asia, because they are small countries, because big armies have come, Europeans came, the Japanese came.

34:45 You know, you bend with the wind like the bamboo, as the Chinese saying goes. And if it looks as if the east wind is growing stronger than the west wind, then people start bending that way even before the wind comes. What you're saying, sir, if I understand, is that the American position of force and resistance to this east wind is to give your country and these other newly independent countries a bulwark behind which you can develop your independence. Is that what you mean?

35:18 No, may I say what I mean myself in my own form of words? I think Americans have, I think it's a friendly habit of trying to help a person think for himself, but I'd rather do my own composition if I may. Don't you love that? May I say what I want to say? Crap. I love this guy. You have adopted this position in Vietnam in 1954. You never asked.

35:51 the rest of Southeast Asia, and we were not consulted. You decided again in 1956 that ZM, because he didn't want to have free elections, and you supported him because elections couldn't be free, and I've read all the semantics about what is free and unfree. You decided in 1961, things got a little bit difficult for ZM to put in American advisors. And by 1963, at the end of 63, you had 25,000.

36:28 American advisors in the Kennedy administration, you had your last chance when Diem got knocked down by a bus, or perhaps it was a tank, and you could have got out and said to the generals, well, we'll help you, guns, uniforms, pay for the troops. You decided, rightly or wrongly, to go in. And now this is 1967, and it's no use asking me now, in my opinion, what you should have done before.

37:02 All I can say is, we've got to live with what might have been the day before yesterday. And as of today, the field marshal of Thailand says, when he's saying it to his own people, they are going to fight in Vietnam, not in Thailand. I take that to mean that if that is gone, he's going to anticipate history. And you know, the Thais have this great sense, good anticipators of history. If they make adjustments in their postures, arising out of what?

37:49 They think it's a failure in Vietnam. Well, I don't think the Tunku in West Malaysia has got very many years of all his forces. And then they've got me by the throat. If I may again do what my predecessors here have done, recall a speech you've made. Some years ago you said the Vietnam experience shows that however massive the military cover, however enormous the economic assistance, and whose name and whose behalf military cover and economic aid are being given.

38:28 do not set out to secure their own salvation. The end result still is perdition for the helper and the help. Speaking as an Asian, do you think the South Vietnamese are helping themselves enough? Or are we here in the United States headed for perdition with our allies? It's a very difficult question. I'm not making any direct Vietnam. And I think if I were a North Vietnamese, I'd resent the Prime Minister of Singapore.

39:04 a passing judgment on the South Vietnamese, but I think they wouldn't mind my saying that the world will be a much better place if it's not Mr. Rusk explaining what this is all about, but either their president or their vice president, or better still, a new figure in a prime minister. Forward-looking, independent, determined, and most important, and honest.

39:47 So basically he's just thumbing his thumb in the eye of the U.S. by saying that it shouldn't be him talking about what's good for South Vietnam. It should have been someone from South Vietnam. And their most important qualities would be representing the South Vietnamese people. And to be honest, because they all know that Diem was a puppet.

40:17 One of the questions in our minds here has been about the future of China and its relationship to Southeast Asia. Some people are saying that China is now so divided politically that there is no great danger for Southeast Asia in the future. Speaking as a Chinese who understands China, can you make an estimate or a guess as to the future of China? Do you think...

40:46 In the near future, it will become again a unified country, a strongly unified country that might represent some kind of a danger to Southeast Asia. Now, I want you guys to take particular note of the setup of this question. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek has been relegated to Taiwan. The rest of China is China. It is only Chiang Kai-shek who...

41:14 refuses to give up the ghost of him being in charge of China, relegated to this tiny little island called Taiwan, who thinks there's a divided China, right? So he's completely set up this question, which is a bullshit question. And he's talking to the prime minister of Singapore, not China, but he calls him Chinese because he's ethnically Chinese.

41:43 But he's a Singaporean. So everything about these people have not changed a bit. But I wanted to point that out. So listen to this guy's answer. First of all, I can't speak as a Chinese because I'm a Singaporean. I'm of Chinese ethnic stock. And I think this is crucial. I mean, if you ask me to speak as a Chinese. As an ethnic Chinese. Yeah, well, you know, the Chinese People's Republic in Peking will be, I think, quite rightfully indignant. So will the...

42:13 other aspirant in Taipei. But speaking as a Singaporean, with some of the built-in memory of the Chinese people, I would say that if you believe that the Chinese people will just splinter up into so many warlord communist committees, each governing a province or even part of a province, then you will make one of the gravest mistakes about Asia. I think I travel around the world often and, you know, people don't know that I come from

42:48 Singapore and they treat me as a Chinese or as a Chinaman in the old days, as they used to call them. And they used to say, ah, Chiang Kai-shek, you know, in the 40s and nowadays. Of course, Mao Zedong. I'd say that they are determined as a people to unify and build a modern, powerful, wealthy Chinese nation. And I say good luck to them. And I think the moment they get prosperous...

43:21 Good luck to me because I'll be much safer. I don't believe, however, you know, the simple theory that they're just going to send their armies across, eat up Southeast Asia. It's too simple. And for you, for the Americans and for us, because then it's naked aggression. All of South Asia will gel together and meet an incoming invader. But you've got this make it yourself kind of revolution. So that's the part I wanted you guys to hear.

43:54 At no time as a leader of Singapore was he ever under the impression that China was the aggressor. At no time. Because had they done that, the rest of Asia, like they did with Japan, would have risen up against them. But he clearly articulates the real threat is the one that's coming in from the West, not the one that's there in the East.

44:26 And that's incredibly insightful for us because we were all lied to. During the entire decade of the 60s, this lie that was allowed to live of this domino theory, which was 100% a crock of shit, was used to brainwash us all.

44:52 into believing that there was this communist threat. The people that lived there, whose lives would have been in danger, didn't believe it existed. And they were very adamant about the fact that any one of them after World War II that had tried to do what Japan did would have met the same fate that Japan did.

45:20 Because every single one of them, although not very effective at the time because they were under colonial powers without their ability to muster their own people, they all did nationally because we've read about it in Korea. We read about it in Vietnam. They all nationally, as nationalists, rose up.

45:45 And like we read in the Philippines, how they had been fighting for 35 years against Spanish colonialism. The Vietnamese had been fighting the French forever to get them the hell off their island before the Japanese took it over. So those people are fighters. They wanted their independence. And I think he does a very, very good job of articulating the fact that

46:14 They are human beings. They are perfectly capable of mounting their own defense if we would leave them the hell alone. But it is hard to mount a defense when you're under the auspices, as Vietnam was and Korea, of the either French or Japanese colonialism and not allowed to be.

46:40 or equip yourself with weaponry. And then in the immediate aftermath of World War II, there was a different type of imperialism that was immediately brought down on many of those, as he articulated, brand new nation states. So it was just a perpetual destabilization exercise.

47:05 under the illusion that they had given these people their freedom when in fact they had never given them their freedom and they continued their destabilization efforts. So I was just taken aback by his, I had listened to some of his stuff a long time ago. I just recently found these two clips and I wanted to share that with you because I think he is one of the true

47:35 Wise leaders that has existed. And also, I want to tell a story about Singapore that illustrates a couple of different points that I think is very important. We've talked about the differences of culture. Now turn.

48:07 voice isolated back on. Oh, Bridget. It just makes it easier to hear you and less background noise. Thank you, ma'am. We all are hanging on everywhere. Thank you. So this technology is just for the birds as far as I'm concerned. Okay. So Bridget, just trying to keep me straight, which I appreciate. So.

48:35 One of the oh, and my phone's going to lock up. Can you still hear me, Bridget? All right. Let me get back to the screen. That's OK. You sound great. All right. So I wanted to share with you guys during Air War College, an incident had just happened in Singapore.

48:57 And this is the disservice that are on top of all the rest of it that our media does for us in the United States, who most of the people in the United States are not world travelers. They don't have an idea of what other cultures are like because our history and our understanding of history is so limited because there's an agenda being orchestrated there.

49:27 Singapore. We were told it happened like just like the year before, maybe even months before we got to Air War College in 2002. A young kid had been taken to Singapore with his parents and had taken an object and basically keyed the side of this guy's car and, you know, basically ruined the paint on it down to the metal.

49:58 And he was put in front of a juvenile judge and the judge subject him, sentenced him to caning, which was an acceptable form of juvenile, like beating him with a cane, punishment in Singapore. So if you don't understand what the customs of a country are, don't go there. That's kind of the moral of the story. But anyway, and control your child.

50:28 the press in the United States, basically, that's where they left the story. Oh, my God, this is, you know, a crazy country. They're out of control. They're going to beat a kid with a cane. How dare them? Blah, blah, blah. Well, if you understand anything about Singapore, which the media never explained, the background of how outrageous this act was considered among the Singaporean

51:00 And I will explain that to you because at Air War College, the Singapore officer that we had there got up in front of the entire class of several hundred people and explained what their culture is about and how the island operates. Now, Bridget put the map of Singapore on the header thing up there. And it's an island. OK, so everything is imported.

51:28 They don't have natural resources. Everything is imported. And there's only a certain amount of cars that are allowed on the island. It's capped. And I'm going to make up this number, but let's just say it's capped at 10,000 cars. You cannot have 10,001 cars. You can only have 10,000 cars. And in order to have a car on the island,

51:58 You are because they have the quota is less than the population of adults that are able to drive cars. So you have to wait. And at the time, the waiting list was approximately 10 years to even get the opportunity to buy a car. Once you came up on the list to buy a car, as you might imagine, back in the day when they limited the quota.

52:27 of Toyotas coming into the United States and drove up the price about three times what it would have normally been and what it was after the import quotas were lifted. It cost an outrageous amount of money to buy a car. And the car that this kid keyed was about, in Singapore, about a 300.

52:54 to $350,000 car. Now, was it worth that in the country next door? No. But that's what it cost the owner of the car who was outraged that some little brat from the United States had come destroyed something that he had waited. And oh, by the way, there's not a lot of those cars on the island. So if you have a specific one,

53:22 And your name comes up on the list that you're now able to buy one. You normally will then have to, if you're not going to take the run of the mill car, which this was not, you have to order the car and you can wait anywhere from a year to two years in order to get the car imported. So this guy waits all of that time to get a car and he spends all, oh, and you have to pay to get your name on the list too. All of that money to buy that car in this little dumbass brat with idiot parents.

53:51 comes over and destroys the dream that he had of this pristine car. So as the officer said near Ward College, he's lucky he got away with caning because anybody else probably in Singapore would have wrung his neck. So that's the difference in cultures and had our media done their job.

54:19 in explaining any of the background, because they're just as ignorant as a lot of other people, in the circumstances of that, it would not have been portrayed as, oh my God, this poor little kid. Everybody else would have been just as outraged as the owner of that car in Singapore. But they intentionally mis-educate, mislead us in order to accomplish whatever it is.

54:49 that on their agenda, which, of course, you know, we don't believe the media anyway. But I just wanted to give you that illustration of the lack of information that is out there in order for people to stay informed and form educated opinion. So with that.

55:14 Bridget, I'm going to try to recycle this thing because it's not going to let me back in so I can see the hands and stuff. So I'll be right back and we'll take questions. So you can go ahead and pass out mics. Sounds great. And I have to give Lumi Casanova absolute credit for helping today because that is something I did not put it together. But once he mentioned it, it made perfect sense. We are.

55:52 Technical challenge, technically challenged, and kind of learning as we go in this situation. Okay, I'm back. Okay. I see a lot of people out in the audience. I'm throwing out mics. So far, no takers. Come on. There's Lumi. What you got, Lumi? Yeah, thank you for having me on, Anna. Brilliant, like always. And thank you for putting on Wide Spectrum.

56:29 It really did make a difference. It made a huge difference. It'd be really interesting to hear the beginning of that first bit where he was talking about the money and the CIA. Yeah, I will put both of those links in the pill. Yeah, and you know what was really interesting was how articulate this gentleman was and how he understood the situation probably better than anyone else he spoke with the whole time.

57:01 It was just hilarious. You know what's interesting is that I have a feeling that Americans are going to be very similar to this individual in the way that they approach the coming years because, you know, it's going to be very important to have that kind of thinking. I agree completely. I, again, am amazed that the... Oh, I think I lost you.

57:49 OK, I thought it was me. I'm sorry. It just automatically turned my mic off. So we are brainwashed to believe that other leaders are not articulate, smart, blah, blah, blah. And that's just not the case. So, yeah, I I'm going to put both of those links because I only played about half of the second one.

58:18 The rest of the second one is amazing as well. What was the date of the one where he talks about China and how they're going to unite, work very diligently to produce a technological superior and a better country than they previously had? That was interesting. If the timestamp on that would be really interesting because that's exactly what happened down to the penny.

58:45 He was talking in 1967. Oh, whoa. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. He is a brilliant man. Very wise. And again, we were led to believe that he was basically a nobody borderline because he remained neutral in all respect. So we were taught, programmed.

59:14 to believe and not pay too much attention to him because they don't want us listening to people that will point out all of the fallacies of our own government. That's probably why they tried to give him the $10 million was to compromise him because then it's like he could say his piece, but then they could say, well, we gave you money.

59:41 And stuff like that. So it's kind of one of those games where he was smart enough never even to play the game, but was neutral enough not to be taken out as well. Because if he was to have been too vocal, I think he would never have been allowed to play the game. Well, what's interesting is if you listen, this comment he made right before that is that in order to not embarrass the CIA and talk about it on the international stage.

1:00:10 He demanded $100 million in aid. And they wanted to give it directly to him. And he said, no, because then you're going to say you bought me. You will give it to this third party. And this is how it's going to work. So you're absolutely right. SR-71, go ahead. Thank you, Colonel. Welcome back. Absolutely amazing.

1:00:44 that I just listened to really has my own way of thinking when I listen to what's going on in the sense that you either ask me too late for my opinion or you don't ask me at all. Correct. You know, I mean, what else do you want? But even given that, the minute you said you had a story to tell, I knew exactly where you were going. I posted that interview.

1:01:14 in the pill uh so if people want to go watch it they can watch it but i also threw out the whole deal about caning in singapore and i remember when that happened everybody was going ballistic here in the u.s yeah could they possibly do that and my thought was as i had been taught well you stupid son of a bitch you shouldn't have done it in the first place yeah but

1:01:44 Thank you, Colonel. But again, know where you're going. Know what the punishment is for shit you're going to do. And then don't do it. And if you can't control your kids, don't take them. Because the rest of the world don't play this shit. So, absolutely. I see you, Stellar. How are you today? I'm doing well. Just kind of blown away because, again, more similar things that's happening here as...

1:02:18 what happened in the past and, um, uh, I wish that we could just talk them out of existence. Yeah, I agree. Um, but understanding obviously, um, the, um, the methodology that they use, um, uh, is very, very important. Um,

1:02:47 for us because then you're obviously able to see through their stupid comments. Like the domino effect. That was a brilliant point because guess what? I have a suspicion they'll use that same thing in a different way, the domino effect, for the current escalation in the Middle East because they'll say we need to protect our satellite or we need to do so it garnishes more funding and more things for military industrial complex.

1:03:16 which is that escalation. So they're going to use the same ideas again and again in different ways, in my opinion. Yeah, and that's very true. So at the end of the second video that I posted, he illustrates to everyone the stupidity of the domino effect and how it was a scam that never happened. And he hints at the fact that they know...

1:03:46 They knew that it was not going to happen. That was just a ruse in order to justify never surrendering the continuation of the military industrial complex, which is the theft of our wealth, because those are interchangeable. You cannot continue to have war after war after war without stealing our resources. Our resources, our wealth have gone to support these endless wars.

1:04:16 Where if at any time peace broke out, we would be immensely more wealthy individually because they would not have the justification in the thwarting or the exploitation of our patriotism in order to steal our wealth. So you have to understand the correlation of that. And again, I highly recommend listening to that.

1:04:44 full extent of that second interview, because it's twice as long as what I played you. And it is quite amazing. He is a, again, I just can't say enough. He's very brilliant. Very wise. So anybody got anything else? I can't think of anything. But yes, Singapore, because I always had kids, so I never wanted to go there just because I knew how strict that they were.

1:05:24 You definitely want to keep them on a short string. Yeah, but I was told it was supposed to be beautiful. Sorry. No, I end up remembering the Freeport connection. Any elaboration on that connection, it was mentioned again, for whatever reason, that gentleman or someone got a job, ended up getting a job at Freeport. We'll go through that a little bit. So Freeport is the name of a mining company.

1:05:54 The mining company has alternated headquarters between, it's basically the U.S. version of Rio Tinto. Are you familiar with Rio Tinto? A hundred percent. Yeah. So that's our Rio Tinto. Freeport was the company that paid Nixon to overthrow Allende down in Chile, along with ITT and PepsiCo.

1:06:23 Freeport is the company that during, so when we were doing Indonesia, we found out that the Dutch had in the Dutch East Indies had discovered in the 1930s the biggest gold mine ever discovered and the purest oil discovery ever.

1:06:54 Rockefeller wanted both the gold and the oil. And so he figured out a way to blackmail them into creating a company where he owned 60% and they owned 40% between them and the UK. And then they had to overthrow the Indonesian country president, Sukarno, and put Suharto in.

1:07:23 Because they owned Suharto. And then they had planned on paying him off like they did Marcos in the Philippines and everywhere else. Penashe, you know, there's a whole list of them, over 80 of them. And then they were going to basically steal a good portion. And the original contract was like, give Indonesia like...

1:07:47 15%, they were going to take 85%, something along those lines. But at the same time, having the senior military people that were killing all of the Indonesians along with Suharto once they got him installed. So Freeport was the company that Rockefeller used for the oil, or not oil, sorry, the gold mining.

1:08:17 And basically, in their slurry mix, they were under-reporting the amount of gold so that not only were they gypping them with an outrageous percentage of the profit, they were actually stealing it before they even reported the amount of gold content of the different slurry.

1:08:40 So instead of saying it was like 15% gold, they would say it's like 10% gold. And that 5%, they were skimming off the top themselves. And so Freeport, when it was headquartered in New Orleans, was part of the whole Banana Republic garbage as well. So Freeport had a huge, big shipping because, of course, they're mining shit all over South America. And a lot of what they were...

1:09:10 mining and bringing into the United States through the port of New Orleans also had drugs on it. So they would take weapons out of the United States down to South America for the coups for Operation Condor. And they would contract with the government to do that, both CIA and official, like overt and covert. And then they were bringing drugs back on.

1:09:39 They're mining ships into New Orleans. And then eventually Freeport moves to Arizona, which we know is corrupt with CIA slash cartel slash drugs slash everything else there. So, yeah, Freeport has basically the same kind of background as Rio Tinto. That's a great question, though. Carrie? Hi.

1:10:12 I think I've asked you this question before, but it's turning around in my head. So I'm not an army person. Neither am I. But I mean, you know what I mean. I know. Overall, soldier, soldier. Sorry, sorry, soldier. No, military. Military. Okay, sorry. But my ancestors fought.

1:10:41 uh, the British and the revolution. And I'm also native American and, um, on the other side and they, they fought, you know, a lot of people, but, um, so it's in my consciousness, but I don't understand, um, the, the underlying factor of why the military people go along with.

1:11:17 With any of the stuff that we're talking about? Yeah. But they're lied to, Carrie. But Vietnam? No, they were lied to. We were told unequivocally that those people were communists. And we believed it. The brainwashing...

1:11:41 In order to get to Vietnam, you have to go back to the 1950s and you have to go back to the nuclear. Why did they detonate the nuclear weapons? And I've heard the argument about, you know, oh, we saved so many lives by doing that. That's all horseshit. They detonated those nuclear weapons in order to create a new boogeyman and Armageddon narrative.

1:12:09 to scare the hell out of us. It was a psychological operation. So the detonation of those nuclear weapons were engraved in everybody's head for the next, you know, 70 years. You do anything possible, if you saw those pictures, you do anything possible to prevent that from ever happening again. Anything.

1:12:34 We had to go through, you know, in first grade, you scrambled under your desk because somebody you were told repeatedly wanted to blow you up using one of those weapons. And you were going to look like them ugly things on television that they kept flashing in front of you. That was the back, you know, drop till the end of World War Two. So they psychologically tortured us and conditioned us and programmed us that you will do anything to stop the Soviet.

1:13:03 or eventually the Chinese communist movement. And then they went around, as I have said repeatedly, with this little laser pointer, like you torment your cat. And they took that laser pointer and pointed it on Ho Chi Minh. They took that laser pointer and pointed it on Kim in North Korea. They put that laser pointer on...

1:13:31 Allende on Lumamba. And no matter where they shine that laser pointer and targeted literally many times with missiles, we were all going rah, rah, rah, because they're defeating communism. And those are the people that are going to melt us with nuclear weapons. That was all a concerted effort.

1:13:59 In order to demonize something and then condition us to go with any narrative short of, you know, full out nuclear war is acceptable to stop them from doing that to us because we were told repeatedly that's what they're going to do to us. The whole bullshit with Cuba, all of that shit was made up.

1:14:30 We've talked about that repeatedly. The constant drum of the narrative that he's 90 miles from our coast. Oh, my God, they've got missiles down there. Nowhere in the initial programming did anybody ever say, oh, shit, we put missiles in Turkey? Are you kidding me? And this is a response to the missiles that we put in Turkey? No, no talked about. We put those same exact missiles pointed at the Soviet Union.

1:15:00 in Turkey well before the Soviet Union said, get those missiles out of here or we're going to put them in Cuba. Okay, well, we didn't get them out. And you know when we got them out? After they put the damn missiles in Cuba. So each and every time this narrative has happened, and if you actually...

1:15:22 figure out, like what we figured out with the USS Liberty, that they had freaking nuclear armed B-52s on the runway with engines running because they were going to purposely sink the USS Liberty off the coast of Israel and Egypt and blame Egypt. And then we were going to go to a nuclear war. And they already had the nuclear weapons loaded with the engines running on the flight line. And that didn't come out for decades.

1:15:51 So they've been setting up this nuclear Armageddon thing. And trust me, I spent 30 years inside that paradigm where we were conditioned to believe that at any minute, those B-52, I worked on KC-135s. KC-135s are the refueling. They were part of Strategic Air Command. If a B-52 takes off, immediately behind the B-52,

1:16:19 is things like the FB-111 at the time or any of these other fighter-bomber combinations because they are going to fly in a package over to wherever the B-52 is dropping bombs, all right? They don't go by themselves normally. So you are going to have this entire air package. Well, you have to have an air bridge. An air bridge is the refueling in the air capability. I was on a base that...

1:16:47 provided that capability. We work 24-7 because there's always birds out there on the ready ramp that have to be ready within, it's a very short window of time, I'll just say it that way, a very, very short window of time. Like the firefighters, jump in your suit, put your G-suit on, because you sleep in your flight suit generally, jump in your G-suit, get in your airplane,

1:17:18 And take off. No time to blow your nose. No time for nothing. Get your shit on. Get on the airplane and get off. In maintenance, our job was to make sure that aircraft could take off within seconds of that alert going off. We practiced that. We practiced that. And we practiced that. The siren goes off. Shit takes off. And again.

1:17:46 You believe what you're doing is noble. You believe what you're doing is protecting the citizenry of the United States from evil. You were never told the evil bastards are sitting in Washington, D.C. Not once. Go ahead, Bridget. Did you have something, Bridget? Yes. Sorry. Accidentally remuted me. OK. Just a question or two questions. One, you know, now I'm.

1:18:28 thinking back to one of the names you had brought up was Kim, you know, over in North Korea. I remember seeing videos of the people over there just praising and loving Kim. And knowing that what we know today, as in everything we've ever been told, is upside down of what it actually is.

1:18:59 In your personal opinion, again, not holding you to this based on the facts that you know, are we just perfecting them like we've done in the past? Well, there's so many aspects to this. There's so many layers. So, first of all, let me just say, initially, we know for a fact, based on our research, that Kim was a nationalist and Kim was a fighter.

1:19:31 against the Japanese 35-year occupation turning Korea into a penal colony, a colony, whatever you want to call it. So he was the Ho Chi Minh of Korea, unequivocally. Who was not there was Ri, R-H-E-E, the guy that we installed in the southern part.

1:20:00 So remember that the industrial area of the North was the kind of very similar to the United States where in the Northeast you had, you know, the steel mills and all that other stuff. And then you had agriculture on the South. That was very much Korea. Korea was a united country. It was never separated. The entire 35 years that Japanese was in charge of it. So it was a country.

1:20:30 It was in the immediate aftermath that we divided it just temporarily for the sole purpose of kicking the rest of the Japanese out and basically reconstituting the local command and control capability.

1:20:55 of the people, basically getting the nation back on its feet so they could, within a year, have a national election and move off into the wild blue yonder as a unified country. That was the entire stated goal at the end of World War II. So at the time, and remember, the OSS was there prior to the end of World War II. They had the ability to immediately assess the area.

1:21:26 the entire area. So they knew what was going on in the north because the OSS occupied, operated in the entire peninsula of Korea. They were in the north, they were in the south. They knew already that the north had, because there's more people there, that the north was going to be the bigger problem. That the north had

1:21:53 the preponderance of the nationalists, just like in Vietnam, where Ho Chi Minh was. So they opted to give themselves the South and give the Soviet Union, they basically set them up and give them the North because they're going to attack the North. They're never going to let Korea go back to being a

1:22:20 constitutional republic, an independent nation, that's not an option. They want to basically provide an avenue to get Chiang Kai-shek back into China. So they give the Soviet Union the North. And that way they can then label the North as communist because you gave it to the communist. And remember, we found Moon, Reverend Moon.

1:22:51 who had created stay-behind units in the North and had spent time in prison. And it was not until MacArthur did his push North that Moon got sprung from prison because he was actually working on behalf of the U.S. forces. So he was basically building stay-behind units in the North the entire time we sabotaged this process.

1:23:20 All of that is a long way of saying that we set up the North to be what it is today. And we painted Kim with a communist brush when he was never a communist, which is pattern-wise exactly what we did with Cuba, which is what we did with Lumumba, which is what we did with the Linde, which is what we did with Ho Chi Minh.

1:23:51 So, if you were to go back and analyze him and what it was he actually believed in and how he, because they were immediately cut off from the outside world because the CIA didn't want us to know anything about what was going on there so they could make it to be whatever they want. There's very little way without.

1:24:17 actually going to North Korea to be able to figure out what the real story is. But it does appear that at some point it was basically taken over and used as a covert CIA entity. And how that happened, I don't know. But what I do know is it was released from that hold

1:24:47 by Trump. And that's what we saw when he walked across the DMZ and shook hands. That was the releasing of whatever that hold was that the CIA established back in the 1950s, that they were finally free. So yes, I believe we were lied to 100% about the entire history.

1:25:12 North Korea, just like we found out in our deep dive into Vietnam, that we were lied to about the North the entire time. Lumi, go ahead and then SR71. Yeah, I'll let SR go first. Sorry. Go ahead. Thank you, Lumi. Hopefully, this will help carry out a little bit concerning military personnel and what really goes on. If you stop and think about

1:25:44 When you enlist into the military, you're an 18-year-old kid. You don't have an inkling about what's going on in the world. You really don't. And everything you do in the military is geared towards one thing and one thing only. And that's to protect this nation and how they see fit. So whatever comes down the pike, you adhere to. It wasn't until after I got out of the service.

1:26:14 that Colonel Towner opened my eyes concerning what was really going on. Now, of course, I had my own suspicions as time went by, but not enough to really question anything about what we were doing. So when you put it in that light, and I understand your concern about why don't military people see this, it's because from the day they join till the day they leave, they're fed this stuff.

1:26:46 It doesn't change. And on top of that, when I got out and I finally understood what was going on, it was like, oh, yeah, it's a heartbreaker. Thinking about, gee, what really went on. And yeah, my ignorance and participation. But that said, you don't see a lot of people going into the military now. Why? Because people like me are saying, stay the hell out. Get away from it. Don't touch it.

1:27:22 So, yeah, if you were in a isolated area and everybody you saw every day had a feeding tube in their body and that's the only way that they were provided nutrition. And let's just pretend that nutrition is knowledge. So everybody's hooked up to an IV and you don't actually eat anything. You're fed.

1:27:49 100% of the time through an IV. When you meet the first person that doesn't have an IV, you're looking at each other going, what the hell is that? Why don't you have this bag hooked up to you? How do you eat? How does any of that stuff work? And when you first get exposed to the fact that everything that you've known your entire adult life is a lie, it's a little unsettling.

1:28:19 Now, imagine that person that you meet that doesn't have that bag hooked up go, you can pull that shit out. Well, then how would I survive? Because you don't need it. Well, I need it. It's the way I eat. It's the way my body survives. At some point, you have to be willing to pull the needle out and throw the bag away. That bag in some...

1:28:46 cases becomes a security blanket, especially when you've done things during your career that if you don't have that bag attached as the justification for doing it, then you have to go back and reexamine the fact that you may have killed people in an unjust war that you are unaware of. And for a lot of people in the military,

1:29:14 They just as soon be left hooked up to that IV than to have to deal with that. Now, I just had brought home to me again over the weekend with a story from someone that I was talking to that that realization that you can take that IV out or in some cases that IV gets ripped out. The people.

1:29:44 when they are exposed to the real knowledge, cannot handle their role in it and they take their own life. And then what oftentimes happens is the devastation that that one person's suicide happens causes the suicide of sibling. And the catastrophic second and tertiary

1:30:15 effects of what these bastards has done to humanity is just literally too much for some people to handle. It is one of the things that I am most conscious about in talking about the subject to these people. And we all need to be that way because it is a very sensitive.

1:30:43 topic for those of us who were in the middle of it that were in the belly of the beast go ahead loomy uh yeah and you know what this like segues perfectly into the back into the u.s liberty thing because around um like november time i came across like the u.s liberty on x right and it was really interesting because um there's like a like this little like for veterans this group

1:31:11 What was really interesting was a lot of veterans would come on there and say, you know, how that happened and this and that. And there'd be like these one or two individuals who were attacking them directly, these veterans. Absolutely attacking them. And one of them was called Alfred Solomons, right? And it was very interesting that eventually this character ends up, because I was interested to see, he ends up going on to like a big show with the Salomon character.

1:31:41 and talking and he ends up saying that he's was part of the uh idf paid to um basically uh go after these veterans which i thought was outrageous so then that page the us liberty veteran site changes and it removes uh the ability to comment on posts because the outrage was just incredible and then now that's just become a shell of what it was so um every one of these like events which happen

1:32:10 There must be a campaign somewhere to cover it in real time, to cover the tracks or to like push people away from the truth or make the people who live through the experience who actually like American patriots feel bad. And sometimes I have like loads of screenshots of all of this because I was like, I'm going to just document this whole thing. It's disgusting. And what was interesting was, is that.

1:32:37 By the end of it, I came to the realization that this is just one little event and there's probably like a hundred of them. So their idea is to make you feel alone, isolated. And that's what Tucker was saying. They want you to question your insanity to the point where they will drive you insane. You were on the ship.

1:33:01 You saw the Israeli airplanes. You saw the Israeli torpedo boats. You were attacked. They dumped napalm on you. And the son of a bitches will stand up there in front of a camera and deny every fucking thing that just happened to you. And then have the audacity to tell you, you don't know what you're talking about. And it's not just the people in Washington. As we pointed out in the Liberty series that we did,

1:33:32 Admiral John McCain Sr. was part of the cover-up. He ran the European Naval Command out of London. He signed off on a false report knowing the damn thing was false. He was contacted by the people who had their statements changed. The entire thing was a lie. So, yeah, it's quite crazy.

1:34:00 what happened to those people. Let's see. Avel? A-A-V-E-L-L-E. Go ahead. Hi. Yeah, it's Avel. Thank you, Colonel. I have missed a lot of your sessions and I'm trying to catch up with them on your page. But as I listen here, I'm thinking of the Jason Bourne movies.

1:34:29 Is that a good depiction of what it is they do to get the patriotism part of us attached to what they want to do? Because it seemed like that's what it boiled down to in that movie series. There was a scene where he said, you volunteered, and it was because of his patriotic love for the country.

1:34:56 So I'm going to answer that based on my limited. So you obviously are new here, as you just stated, I'm not a movie watcher. So I don't, I have seen clips and I have read analysis of that series and believe that's an accurate depiction of what you just said. But I'd be lying if I said that I watched them all. I have not. But that is the hook. I mean, just like Alpha Warrior and I've talked about.

1:35:25 He and CanCon went in after 9-11. That's their whole impetus for, quote unquote, attacking us is to get our best and brightest, you know, young men out on a battlefield so they can maim, scar and permanently injure you. And then they hook you on drugs and blah, blah, blah.

1:35:52 It's all an orchestrated event to control us. And they invoke our patriotism and our love of country against us. It's a psychological operation against us. So that's a great observation, by the way. Miles, go ahead. Good afternoon, Colonel. I just want to make a quick statement. For all the people that have signed up for this movement, we have to be.

1:36:26 stewards of the truth so try to be a good steward everyone thank you um carrie yeah i just wanted to say i love you colonel and i think when i was first starting to listen to you i was like okay colonel yeah that's a lot of information you're flooding into my soul and uh what do i do what do i do now but now i can see that you just

1:36:58 speaking this every day is like an, like a mountain, like just that alone because you're cutting at it. So I would love to have a, thank you, Carrie. I would love to have a big enough audience to actually transition it into,

1:37:26 an actionable plan of things that we could in fact do and make a huge difference. Obviously, education is fundamental to that long-term goal. I think it's imperative that we know our real history. Again, my story is the same story.

1:37:54 that a lot of other people have. I would have considered myself one of the best read people on average. Bar most people, other than people who write books, there's probably no one who's read more books than I have on average. And I don't say that to brag. I just say that as a fact. It's a hobby. I turned my hobby into something that was useful to me in my job.

1:38:24 After I took Stephen Covey class that said that was a good thing to do. So I did it. And I did that when I was a junior captain back in, you know, the early 1990s. And so since then, I've read mountains of books. And two years ago, I found out I was completely ignorant. Six degrees have been in school most of my adult life in the evenings.

1:38:55 A couple of master's degrees, a couple of bachelor's degrees, and I'm ignorant. I didn't know anything that was actually important. And it really doesn't matter what your academic background is. If your government is lying to you and hiding information, it's almost impossible for you to be able to ferret it out on your own.

1:39:21 Bridget, Cousinet, and I, and a few other people, took it upon ourselves to start digging into what our real history was. And so I believe now at this point, because we're right around the corner from Trump getting back in, that you guys will all have the ability to help everyone around you understand what's coming next.

1:39:50 So I think that's critically important. And I do think had we started this initiative five years ago, there would have been time for an actionable plan and to do things and stuff like that. But I think that's going to be overcome by events because I think within the next six months, someone.

1:40:10 much smarter than I am, will have that action plan. If you listen to RFK and the whole Make America Healthy Again, he has an actionable plan for that aspect of it. I believe while that was one of the most visible ones, I think all of the rest of this stuff has an equivalent action plan associated with it. The only thing I will be able to say in hindsight is I gave all of you guys a leg up.

1:40:40 on what the real deal is. And you will be able to calm the masses when the real deal starts getting unveiled to know that that is the truth. That is in fact the truth. You will have all of the references. You're going to have all of the links that we've made available, the threads that we've made available to be able to sit down with anybody and go right here it is, right here it is. Here's all of the references.

1:41:07 And I think that's something that's a legacy for all of us that are here to give not only our family and friends, but those people in our social groups as well as the next year unfolds. And I just want to add one thing, not that there's anything to add. The Colonel has a beautiful ability to condense down the information that we found on our research.

1:41:42 into bite-sized digestible pieces. And just like Carrie had mentioned, you know, at first it was, I thought, how am I possibly going to remember all this? But because of their repetition, because of the evil repetition, you start to begin to notice the patterns. And it was actually a running joke, the Gladio glasses, because all of a sudden you started seeing those patterns over and over again. And as we...

1:42:13 And as you, this group, all are learning and people who are coming along and listening to these recorded spaces afterwards, you guys are becoming ambassadors. I've seen your posts. I've seen you repost. I've seen your tag. And that is making a difference. And that's making an impact now. There is also nefarious individuals out there, just like Lumi had pointed out,

1:42:44 that are going to come out and try and make you think like you're screaming into a vacuum. But you're not. We see it. Others are seeing it. And what my personal opinion is an unintended side effect of our program, of our learning this history, is you are all becoming ambassadors. And as the stuff hits the fan,

1:43:15 You guys are the calm ones in the room that are singing with your new prescription through all the lies and all this pushback as the truth comes to light. And you're saying, yeah, you know what? They did that before. They did that before and they've done this before. And it's a beautiful thing to see you guys go out there and be ambassadors about bringing the truth. That is very well said, Bridget.

1:43:43 One of the things that makes me smile in the middle of the day is reading someone's comment that's thanking one of you guys for sharing one of my posts. And, oh my God, I just found you. Thank God. I thought I was going crazy. I can't tell you the number of responses that I have gotten based on you guys reposting.

1:44:13 our stuff. So I absolutely agree with that. And something else that Lumi said that is worth repeating. When you are engaging these people, you have to be very aware of the fact that there are paid agitators out there wanting you to engage with them.

1:44:41 So that they can discredit you. And one of their most common tactics, and I've talked to both Cousin It and Bridget about this ad nauseum. When we first started, it was the, oh my gosh, yes, you're absolutely right. This is crazy. They're out of control. And it's all this religion.

1:45:05 or it's all that religion, or it's all this country, or it's all that country. And that is done on purpose so that they can basically wipe you with a brush that then affiliates you with being, you know, anti-Semitist or misogynist or this or that.

1:45:31 We have been very careful throughout this entire process of maintaining a policy that we talk about religion when we discover religion. We talk about countries when we discover countries. And we do so only in the context of revealing that piece of information. For example, there is no question.

1:46:00 When you're talking about Operation Condor and Operation Gladio, that Israel is a weapons trafficking country. We have demonstrated that over and over and over again where it's appropriate. There's no question that the Catholic Church was money laundering for this entire operation. There's no question that they were in charge of the 1.1 whatever million.

1:46:30 of people who they engaged in a psychological operation to migrate forcibly over a million people from North Vietnam into the South in order to skew the support for Diem, who they were about to install. They did that on purpose. They did it through the Catholic Church. When we discover that, we are going to talk about it. And I don't care if it pisses you off or not.

1:46:58 I'm just reporting the truth. You guys can deal with it within your own religion if you want to hold your religion accountable, but we're not going to not say that because it may hurt someone's feelings. While at the same time, I am not about to go out and say, oh my gosh, 90% of everything I found had to do with this particular religion because it's just simply not the case.

1:47:25 And when people have come on here in the past and said things like that, I will take exception to it. I'm not going to argue with them. You're entitled to your point of view. It's just not statistically what I have found to be true. And we'll move on. Because what we're trying to do is to bring it all into exposure.

1:47:50 So that the people of all religions, all countries, all ethnic backgrounds can deal with their own shit in the way that they see fit. But they have to have the information to do that first. And that's what we're here for. So we're equal opportunity revealers. The colonel used to originally start out with, we're going to pee in everybody's Wheaties. Oh, that's true. In everybody's rice bowl. I did not say Wheaties.

1:48:24 Everybody's rice bowl is going to get pissed in at some point in this exposure. Mine certainly did because my entire rice bowl was the military. And let me just tell you, it had at least a foot of pee stain by the time I got done with my very first book.

1:48:45 To know the amount of flag officers and retired military that had been involved in this entire thing, it was like somebody punched me literally in the gut. It was one of the hardest things, but you just get up and you keep going because I want to know if they lied to me about that. What else did they lie to me about? Oh, they lied to me about this. Okay, well, what else did they lie to me about?

1:49:13 And yeah, so everybody's going to have something that they feel very compelled to support that they're going to find was a part of a very bad part of our history. You'd be lucky if you're not in that boat, because I certainly was in that boat in a big way. So, all right, we're coming up on six o'clock. So if we don't have any more hands.

1:49:47 Um, we're going to sign off and I will see you guys tomorrow at four o'clock. And, um, let me look at my, oh, I do want to remind you, um, hold on just a second. I've got, um, I've got something, hold on, something, um, on Thursday, we have it on a clock. I'm going to be on my Rumble channel.

1:50:23 with a JFK podcast. I'm going to be interviewing him. We're just going to kind of co-host a podcast. He's done a lot of research into JFK. I've done a lot of research into Operation Gladio, and there's a lot of overlays as we've illustrated, so it should be a very entertaining space. That's at 10 o'clock a.m. East Coast time on the 3rd.

1:50:50 Just as a reminder, 7 o'clock on the 3rd p.m., I'm going to be interviewing a dear friend of mine, Senior Master Sergeant Justin Ivey, who's going to be able to tell you all of the secrets of having worked for me for many years and have known me for even more. So you definitely will.

1:51:14 That's going to be a loose cannon, but you guys are definitely going to want to watch that because it's going to be very entertaining. Hopefully not too revealing. But anyway, I will share this part with you. When I texted him and told him that and kind of basically was coordinating our schedule, I said, because I want him to go on sit rep with CanCon and Alpha.

1:51:42 Warrior as well, which I'm trying to set up. I said something about them doing it because I've been on their podcast. And he says, and I said something about me having a podcast. And he goes, you have a podcast? Which, by the way, I told him, but, you know, he's having a senior moment. And he said, I said, I do. The rest of the world is finding out what you already know about me.

1:52:12 He sent me a smiley face, and he says, and I miss very much. So it will definitely be an interesting podcast. Guru, go ahead. Yeah, thank you, Colonel. Just done some research on our conversation yesterday. I just want to give you a name. It's called French Island, and it was from 1916, opened as a penal colony, et cetera, and closed in 1975.

1:52:42 The lads did remove the books from the library where they've been hidden, and they've been taken out of there, and they're in safekeeping. So I just wanted to let you know that, Colonel. Yeah, good information. Okay. Well, I'm definitely going to look up French Island because, as you are aware, because I know you've been here for a while, they love those islands, don't they?

1:53:07 They certainly do. We've got a few over here that are a little bit sus, you know what I mean? We've got Branson and a couple up in Queensland. We've got all sorts of islands around. And you'd be surprised how many islands are out there that you just wouldn't even know about that these guys are actually utilising. Yeah. Yeah, it is very amazing. All right, I'm going to have to pull that up. Thank you for giving me that. No problem.

1:53:33 No, I just wanted to wait till the end and then just let you know that. And I'll actually, I'll flick over a link to you in your DMs. Okay. Thank you very much. Miles, go ahead. Thanks, Colonel. Sure. Thank you. Colonel, could you interview your husband? That would be a great interview. He's sitting right here. I would love to interview my husband. You're not a mute.

1:54:02 Yeah, I would love to interview my husband. You guys will find out just how brilliant my husband is. And he is obviously amazingly tolerant of the amount of time that it has taken me to do this research as well. But Miles, thank you for saying that. I think that's an excellent idea. We'll definitely have to set that up because I think you guys would very much enjoy that too.

1:54:30 That's a great idea, Miles. Carrie, go ahead. Yeah, your husband made the analogy to get smart. I love your husband. Yes, he did. He did. That's so incredible. Incredible. I just wanted to talk about what you were talking about before, which is that there was like a way.

1:55:00 like an ideology basically that you were engaging, like you're being in the military was your like identity. Anyway, I read, um, uh, Nietzsche when I was studying philosophy and it gets like a bad rap, but his whole thing was, um, be authentic, be yourself. Don't.

1:55:23 get handed ideologies like cults and any, it could be anything, you know, like smoking. Don't engage that, like really investigate yourself and don't take on what society just hands you, you know, like as, as a female, I was handed specific things.

1:55:49 And, um, I'm sure others were, of course, but, uh, and he, his real thing was, you know, ideology is death of your mind, of your mind, your specific mind. And you were in, you were a one in one trillion chance of being, and it's your responsibility to actually be. That's a good point. Um, yeah, we are handled hand handed.

1:56:18 um certain precepts which may or may not be true so yeah i agree um um all right guys i am going to start the smoker and get some dinner i appreciate you guys all being here um and i will definitely schedule the um i'm i'm toying with the idea of actually having my um husband as part of the whole uh

1:56:47 um just an interview as well because they um ended up being very good friends as well so we'll play with that idea but thank you um miles for um giving me the idea and um you guys are awesome for um doing exactly that broadening my horizon here so thank you again for being here we'll see you tomorrow at four o'clock
