Colonel Roxanne Towner Watkins. And this is basically, while it's going to have content, it's really just a test for us to figure out how to use the Rumble Studio as opposed to StreamYard. And even if we want to do it, actually, because I'm not sure that we do. I want to check out several of the options. So I'm going to set the chat.
0:31
to be able to see everybody and i was wanting to know if i can change my video feed but um it doesn't look like it's going to let me um i
1:00
Guess I can. All right. So Bridget is coming in. So there she is. Again, I'm trying to figure out how all this works. Bridget, if you turn on your mic and your video feed, I think we will be able to see you. But your mic is still muted. So.
1:49
Working on it. It's down at the bottom where the little mic and camera is. She hasn't been on here either. So let me see. Manage participants. Participants, Bridget. And it does say that I can promote her to moderator, which may be the right thing to do. She said it wouldn't let her in.
2:31
So that could be a problem if I can't invite people in. But one of the things that I want to figure out is how to do the screen sharing. I'm going to give Bridget a couple of more minutes and then maybe her and I just need to work on that offline if we're not going to be able to get her in. She's going to monitor the ability.
3:04
to see things over on x um or hear things on x and then see things on the rumble feed in order to know whether or not this is working so um anyway so she said she was going to come back in um maybe i should um there she's out now and we'll wait for her to come back in so um
3:45
Give me just a minute. She's coming up with all these new ideas. She wants me to do a short intro video so that we can occasionally put it out for all the new people that are following us on X so they at least know what my background is. And let me see if I need to resend her a link to get her back in.
4:17
I'm going to resend it to her and see if she can come back in. All right. There she is. I don't know. I'm not going to let her in. Of course, we go all day and not have a phone call. And as soon as I get on a live stream, my husband's mom calls. Oh, gosh. Can't make this stuff up. All right. So she came back in as a participant.
5:05
but it's still showing your mics muted. So we'll figure that out later. We're going to go ahead and get started with the material. And I'm going to try sharing my screen and doing a whole bunch of other stuff. Don't pay any attention to how many tabs I have open because I know that that drives my kids nuts, but I have all of the tabs open for our Yemen discussion.
5:46
which is going to happen after this. So I don't want to hear any garbage. Oh my gosh. All right. So let's see if, yeah, y'all can see that. Okay. So I do want to highlight this website here. The website is called Academia.
6:16
A-C-A-D-E-M-I-A dot edu. So I subscribe to that website to be able to download material that is written. I also can do research on material, which I've used extensively, and how I find a lot of the articles that I bring to you guys. It's a great website.
6:41
A lot of research out there that, of course, is inconvenient to the narrative. So no one ever reads it or they at least don't talk about it in normal company, which, of course, is where I come in. So we're going to go through this document here. And you can see that it's produced by Giles Scott Smith and Stephanie Rulon.
7:13
All right. So it starts off. I found this fascinating because this actually, if you read the description here, this is the introduction chapter, the intro to a book about transnational anti-communism, which is fascinating to me. It is not one that I have. Bridget is saying that she needs.
7:46
All right. I accepted you. So you're showing up down in the bottom, which, which, and it's showing that your mic is muted. So I don't know. Anyway, we're going to go ahead. We'll have to do with that offline. All right. So the book I'm going to go try to find, and it's from October, 2011. So some of this will appear a little bit dated.
8:26
But again, I'm doing this mainly for the interoperability of Rumble Studio to make sure that this is something that we can use. And maybe it's just something I can use by myself if it's not gonna let me invite people in to read about it or to participate with me. All right, so back to the screen. Okay, so in January, 2013,
8:56
The Joint World League for Freedom and Democracy, Asia Pacific League for Freedom and Democracy annual conference was held in Taipei, Taiwan at the Grand Hotel. Now, you guys will recognize this because we've already covered it. This is the new name for the World Anti-Communist League.
9:19
The World League for Freedom and Democracy started off as the World Anti-Communist League, and that started off as the Asian People Anti-Communist League, which is what this APLFD stands for right here. So crazy that we have to have this kind of interpretation filter because of all the research that we've done.
9:48
400 delegates. This is a fascist organization trying to implement one world government. 400 delegates from 100 different countries took part in this. And it has nothing to do with World Freedom Day. It has everything to do with installing a fascist one world government. So the new chapters were Nigeria and Thailand.
10:16
And Thailand had been a member before. So kind of weird as to why they would have dropped out. And it says the mission statement was international non-governmental organization dedicated to the aim of uniting the freedom and democracy loving people of the entire globe without distinction as to race, nationality, location, occupation, religion, party or sex in a joint endeavor to pursue freedom and democracy for all mankind.
10:45
and to preserve world peace these are the same people that created the static strategy of tension that are responsible for tens of millions of people's death just so that you can put this in perspective with a massive following in the asian pacific region which should scare the hell out of everybody they are probably the largest scale trans national anti-communist network that has continued
11:14
into the post-cold war era originating as the asian pacific anti-communist league in 1954 it expanded beyond asian region and in 1966 became the world anti-communist league faced with the collapse of the soviet union need a new boogeyman um they changed their name and a new mission because once you have a bureaucracy it's never going away the
11:44
world, we're just going to call it the WLFD for expediency. Durability and adaptability is a prime example of how networks of transnational anti-communism have successfully morphed according to the change in global politics. It's kind of like global warming changing from, you know, it's too cold to it's too hot to we have too much CO2. You can tell when a narrative is being built by its ability,
12:14
ability to adapt when the stated goals go away other organizations covered in this volume again because it's the intro for an entire collection was the mont pelerin society la circle the bible smuggling operations also continue to this day and these organizations i've covered um briefly but definitely are on the list to go into in more depth because they
12:44
prop up both monetarily and propaganda-wise the New World Order regime of which Operation Gladio is the paramilitary aspect. So it says the assembly of captive European nations may have been disbanded in the 1970s, but its legacy lives on through continuing observance of the U.S. political system of captive nation.
13:14
the third week of July. The assumption that the demise of world communism led these networks to declare mission accomplished or simply fade away into irrelevance would therefore be mistaken. Anti-communism is typically understood in two principal ways. The term of periodization, it is generally regarded as a Cold War phenomenon that therefore lost its meaning at the end of the 1980s.
13:41
i.e when the cold war went away because the soviet union went away in terms of organization the u.s is often credited with playing the principal role in dominating western anti-communist efforts to oppose moscow's nefarious designs or at least what they told us
13:58
was nefarious designs. Yet as the example of the WLFD shows, anti-communism was a very flexible label. Communist doctrine has been opposed from many directions, ranging from its designation as evil and a contagious disease to more measured rebuttals of its egalitarianism, justification of political violence, atheism, destruction of private property, negation.
14:27
of individual rights and economic collectivism, Bolshevikism, and dialectical materialism. Now what I find hilarious about this is the picture I posted yesterday of the guy's house where China just built the roads around his house, which of course is hilarious because obviously they have better property rights than we do.
14:51
Many of these positions, which often overlapped, could be grouped under the broader label of anti-totalitarianism, which some anti-communists prefer to emphasize their support for basic rights and values threatened by both the left and right, which takes us to the third way, right? And I find it interesting, the anti-totalitarianism, because that's exactly what they are actually trying to implement.
15:20
As this collection of essays demonstrates, anti-communism has in fact known many different political identities and motivation, ranging from anarchism to the socialist left, to the conservative nationalism, to Christian movements to the far right. Because it's not anything about that, and that's all part of the narrative in order to push you to the third way. This plurality of allegiances has always been present.
15:49
with anti-communism often a convenient label to link up and unify wildly divergent interest groups. That's exactly what it is. Stark ideological divisions have continued to define political activism, most notably in Asia, requiring reflection on the Eurocentricism.
16:12
of many Cold War interpretations. Most significantly, the place of the United States as the orchestrator supreme of the anti-communist cause needs to be nuanced. It is undeniable that the United States, and here we are referring principally to the CIA, as an oversized impact on Western anti-communist ideology, mobilization, propaganda during the Cold War.
16:39
thanks to its dominant political position, strength of purpose, global reach, and seemingly unlimited budgets. This often gives the impression that the United States was able to coordinate anti-communist activities according to its own worldview in response to assumed globally orchestrated campaign run from Moscow, which of course we've kind of poo-pooed that.
17:03
There was no real globally orchestrated campaign. That was a mirage, a propaganda machine. And what I find really interesting, although this author will eventually get around to talking about NATO, really it is a NATO-coordinated activity of which the U.S., because of our predominant role in NATO, has assumed the leadership for.
17:28
Yet the essays in this volume clearly show that this did not mean the U.S. could always decide which direction to move in or all of the possible outcomes. There is thus a need to de-center the United States within the anti-communist narrative. While recognition is given to its crucial role beyond all other participants, it is above all necessary to adopt multiple viewpoints and escape an all-encompassing discourse of Washington, D.C.-focused Cold War history.
17:57
or indeed the history of the anti-communism as predominantly a government-run enterprise within the boundaries and context of particular nation states, because it is not. The organization of anti-communism involved not just the U.S. allies, but a remarkable host of private actors determined to make it their cause as well. Remember the Flying Tigers, Claire Chanel, all of those.
18:26
The essays presented here explore how and why these determined individuals and diverse movements linked up, overlapped, and stubbornly pursued their own paths with or without state support, rather than national foreign policies looking to deploy private forces and non-governmental organizations as part of their ideological
18:47
The essays presented here portray a complex mosaic of anti-communist motives and movements that at times supported and at other times cut across or transcended the state-run scenario. It is a mistake to reduce them to being no more than walk-on extras in a state-centric narrative. That is true, but it doesn't discount the vital role that the NGOs played in all of this because they were used extensively.
19:17
Neither does the story begin with the Cold War. Initiatives to oppose socialism and the international workers movement appeared in the 19th century. Security measures against the communist threat were intensified after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and the aftermath of World War I. In a Machiavellian twist, the German foreign ministry had sought to foment revolution in Russia through a transnational network of Alexander...
19:47
Heflin Parvis, who had established a scientific institute in Copenhagen for this very purpose. But the interwar period was a seminal moment as numerous civic organizations, interest groups, and militias focused on national concerns across Europe and the United States in the turmoil and instability of 1918 to 1920. The large-scale immigration from
20:17
Russian Empire between 1917 and 23 contributed to the anti-communist climate and the hostility towards the Bolshevik regime. Russian anti-communist exile organization blossomed in the main center of immigration, Berlin, Paris, Belgrade, and Prague. These were some of the first transnational forces to appear in the anti-communist.
20:44
cause and they found support and sympathy in their host countries. Hopes for a united movement floundered on the unmanageable ideological, political, and cultural divisions between the many groups. Perhaps the first transnational explicitly anti-communist organization, the Entente Internationale Anticommunistique, was established in Geneva in 1924.
21:12
intended to act as a pressure group, it was led by a Swiss lawyer, Theodore Aubert, and a Russian immigrant, George Lodi Janinski. Although the EIA soon distanced itself from the immigrant politics in order to prevent being typecast as a minority movement and to reach out to a wider audience. Now I'm going to stop right there because I find this fascinating. Because now that we've done all of this history,
21:41
We can look at this book right here, A Law Unto Itself, in the chronicles of the Sullivan and Cromwell group and know that Alan Dulles and John Foster Dulles was intimately involved in Geneva during this interwar period. And so I find it interesting that they play pivotal roles.
22:10
in the anti-communist league eventually and the paramilitary aspect of it set up in NATO and were hobnobbing around Geneva quite a bit back in the day when this was going on. So just a connection for you. In existence until 1950, the EIA linked state and non-state actors, like law firms, in a dedicated...
22:39
dedicated campaign that spanned Europe and the U.S., coordinating propaganda through brochures and monthly press reviews based on communist and Soviet newspapers, aiming for the fall of the Soviet communist regime and the destruction of the third international called the Comintern.
22:58
The EIA was never able to gain a solid foothold in the United States where anti-communist organizations were less willing to liaise with foreign-based partners to extend their efforts outside of North America. That's kind of not true, but whatever. While the EIA's religious committee
23:19
called Pro Deo, which we've come across multiple times, would also fail to unite Catholics, Protestants, and exiled Orthodox groups against the evils of communism. The Protestant movement called Moral Rearmament, established in 1938 in Oxford, would gather more support on a face-based grounds after World War II. Moral Rearmament.
23:49
That definitely needs to be investigated. Was the anti-communist effort in all its diversity in any way coordinated across national boundaries? Certainly to a degree. George Kennan's infamous policy planning staff memorandum from May of 1948 called the...
24:11
inauguration of political warfare. And what I find fascinating about this is that's the name of the Taiwanese terror camp training. Remember Taiwanese political warfare cadre? Just saying. Proposed that liberation committees should be created against the large immigrant, amongst the large immigrant communities from Central Europe and the Soviet sphere.
24:42
in support of people suffering under oppression. With the Comintern and Willie Munzenberg as the clear but unstated models for this move into political warfare, quote, in just one document, George Kennan had set the agenda for all of the United States front operations in the first years of the Cold War, unquote. Kennan's memo led directly to the first such private
25:09
public-private organization in 1949 called the National Committee for a Free Europe, which is basically a CIA front. Goaded on by Kennan, the CIA, under the initial guidance of its pioneers Frank Wisner and Alan Dulles, rapidly developed the mighty Wurlitzer of patrons and partnerships that enabled it to disseminate news, views, and opinions throughout the world. Parts of this
25:38
Extensive CIA sphere of influence, i.e. propaganda, have been thoroughly covered, but gaps still remain. The extensive reach of the CIA has inevitably led to suspicion of agency involvement in all anti-communist activities. A good example would be the widely circulated claim that CIA money was pivotal for financing the first Bilderberg meeting between North America
26:05
and Western Europe representatives in 1954. Simply because it seems logical, they would have done so. NATO was seen by many as a potential central pole around which to organize psychological warfare on a transatlantic level. Yet several of its member states were weary of involving NATO in anything that smacked of propaganda.
26:32
oh my God, to avoid undermining its legitimacy and status. Instead, through Article 2 of the North Atlantic Treaty, NATO functioned more as an inspiration for private organizations to fill the organizational space themselves, which is flat-out bullshit. We have documents that proved that, and I believe it was Ganser's book, that
27:01
There was a secret agreement and it was talked about in the revelations after it was exposed in Italy. There was a secret agreement that had to be signed by a nation in order to be admitted to NATO that you agreed to set up Operation Gladios type stay behind units that were justified.
27:27
at the time solely based on its anti-communist stance. So whether this author doesn't know that or is ignoring it, you guys can decide. It was precisely this inability or unwillingness to officially, officially coordinate anti-communist campaigns among the NATO countries that prompted the private sector to step in. See, more garbage.
27:53
Just because they officially didn't say that they were participating in an anti-communist campaign does not mean that they were actually not participating. They were 100% all participating in it with their intelligence agencies that was later exposed. This had its advantages. It could be denied or distanced from state.
28:16
run foreign policy, while at the same time it served to mobilize private energies in civil society against the communist threat. In doing so, legitimizing the anti-communist cause and anti-totalitarian identification of the West. Crucially, by going transnational and de-linking anti-communist mobilization from NATO or other official organs, the neutral states
28:45
could also be included as active participants which was the case of several different organizations like the whole act liberty and the interdoc as well as the Bilderbergs a great variety of non-state actors became linked together in these enterprises from state
29:06
from trade unions to commercial conglomerates to media outlets and faith-based organizations, to many intriguing anti-communist entrepreneurs who took on the cause of a personal mission. In the process, the public and private worlds became so entangled with personnel effectively operating in the name of both that the distinction between state and non-state blurred almost to insignificance. And that is true. But there was not...
29:34
It was a propaganda campaign launched to make people believe that NATO was not involved. That came to a crashing halt in 1990 when it was revealed that they were definitely involved. What were the motivations for taking on such a role? The claim that a worldwide communist conspiracy run from Moscow necessarily required a centralized and coordinated response from the non-communist world. The call for...
30:01
a world institute for the defense against Soviet propaganda, the fear that democratic freedoms were vulnerable if the anti-communist struggle failed to organize itself around national boundaries, the determination to awaken citizens to the fact that their taken-for-granted freedoms were being subverted and threatened without them knowing it, the need to study
30:26
the theory and practice of the Soviet communism in order to understand and exploit its social and political division and contradictions, the desire for a spiritual NATO or a martial plan for the mind. The political identity to be defended by these efforts also varied, from vague designation of the West or Occident to democratically oriented labels like free world.
30:51
or more cultural or civilization declaration like Christian civilization. The individuals and organizations covered in this volume actively linked up between themselves via conferences, joint publications, and public campaigns, but they also challenged each other, there being constant competition for public and private funds and official recognition. The incessant
31:17
clashes of ego. The calls for coordination were therefore often attempts to claim top spot as much as they intended to improve anti-Soviet propaganda. Several organizations aspired to play a central role, such as the Catholic Committee International of Defense and Civilization for Christianity, the Franco-German-Dutch Interdoc, and particularly the Congress for Cultural Freedoms,
31:47
another CIA front, which sought to maintain a broad coalition of liberal and conservative anti-totalitarians to oppose restrictions on cultural and intellectual production. Certain individuals themselves functioned as almost nodes, such as the Frenchman George Albertini,
32:07
who was associated with a whole range of private national transnational anti-communist organizations, as well as with official state institutions such as the British Information Research Department. The sheer density and diversity of anti-communist actors and activities make it difficult to propose uniform lines of analysis, but a simple periodization can be stretched.
32:35
The first covers the 40s and 50s when the Soviet Union reactivated its network of fronts from the inter-world Munzenberg period, and Central and Eastern European immigrants featured strongly in the response organized by the CIA, MI6, and the BND under the guise of a Nazi General Reinhard Galen organization. The other allied intelligence and security services.
33:02
The U.S. was the dominant orchestrating force in this period, looking to exploit widespread fear of communist subversion and aggression in Western Europe and Asia, and acting as a principal financier of those operations. Many of the surviving networks and organizers from the interwar period adapted themselves to this U.S.-led environment.
33:26
There was also an influx of former fascists and Nazis who used the anti-communist umbrella to gain post-world respectability, and we've talked about them in the World Anti-Communist League. They were all war criminals that created that organization. This battle of the fronts was transformed by the shift in Soviet policy towards peaceful coexistence and the pursuit of ideological warfare.
33:54
Combined with the support of an armed struggle in the decolonizing third world, which marked the second period of the late 50s and 60s, this shift caused many reprisals for the existing anti-communist campaigns. Firstly, hardline approaches that negated everything communism stood for were now seen by some to be counterproductive.
34:20
resulting in a search for a positive anti-communism. Secondly, there was a recognition in Western Europe that the one-size-fits-all approach to anti-communism was no longer effective or appropriate, decoupled with the fact that the revival of post-war economies meant that Washington felt its allies could do more themselves. This led into a third period in the late 60s and 70s characterized by detente.
34:49
between the superpowers, the gradual normalization of China in world politics, and the appearance of the new left, which was interpreted as another reincarnation of Moscow's invisible hand. I'm going to just go on. It was in this period that the deepest split emerged among the anti-communist coalitions, as those who denied the value of East-West reproachment and
35:19
considered it no more than a confidence trick and a cover for continuing subversion. And that was driven home by a lot of the people like Brian Crozier in Le Circle and many of the people that, because they did not want detente. They wanted the strategy of tension.
35:41
They lined up against those who sought to utilize detente to promote human rights cause and so undermine the Soviet bloc from a different angle. This contest was fought out verbally, both within the anti-communist networks and between the networks and their erstwhile government supporters. As in the case of the ACEN, continually demanding recognition of Soviet oppression in Central Europe in a time when Washington was open for increasing superpower dialogue.
36:10
The Euromissile Crisis and the popular appeal of peace movements across the West World in the early 1980s did involve a last revival of the Soviet-sponsored Popular Front, generating responses from the anti-communist lobby. But from the late 1980s, we entered a final, ongoing post-Cold War period defined by the exponential rise of number...
36:34
non-governmental organizations promoting a diverse range of environmental, medical, ethical, and humanitarian causes within the intricate, complex, often highly specialized floor of government governance. It is in this period that those still existing anti-communist organizations shift emphasis to promote the broader cause of democratic freedoms in a post-Soviet, post-Malast world. And in other words,
37:03
My way of saying is that is they lost their boogeyman and go looking for another one. And they're going to come up with the environmental, environmental, medical, ethical and humanitarian issues to do. Here's this shiny object over here while we destroy the world, because glossing over this part in here where they're talking about the post-colonialization.
37:33
the use of the anti-communist label on any leader that the West did not approve of cannot be overstated. And we're going to see that when we talk about Yemen later today.
37:50
The transnational approach. In many ways, the realm of anti-communist organizations is the perfect laboratory for applying a transnational historical approach. Rejecting a statist interpretation that anti-communist activities were orchestrated and controlled according to the interest of governments, it focuses on the role of non-state actors and their interactions, both between themselves with elements of the state. Previous scholarship has addressed these issues.
38:18
most notably through the notion that state private networks and the influence of patronage networks nurtured by U.S. philanthropy. This volume does more than simply contribute to this trend. The goal is to de-link these activities from the presumption of all-embracing U.S.-focused analysis. For the first time, it uses the transnational as a
38:40
principle framework through which to interpret and analyze the many strands of the Cold War anti-communism. Secondly, it gathers together a wide array of actors, activities, and networks to enable comparisons and contrasts across national contexts, political motivation, and individual backgrounds. In this way, it lays out a new terrain for the analysis of the anti-communism.
39:05
in particular, the study of the transnational history in general, which is critical to talking about everything now, because they're laying out a framework to analyze. And you notice they talk about the rise of the NGOs in the 1980s. Well, that happened because Reagan signed off on creating the National Endowment for Democracy and the IRI, sorry.
39:34
And the Democrat version of that, which, by the way, comes up in the Yemen story, regime change, and becomes critical because all they're doing is taking the emphasis away from the CIA and putting them in CIA front NGOs, which primarily get all of their funding from the government. So they can't be non-governmental organizations if the primary funder is the government. But there are philanthropies that do.
40:03
aid in that as well so it's important to understand that um all right let's see why a transnational approach transnational history in its broadest sense addresses the study of connections links interdependencies exchanges and circulations between nations and societies introduced in international relations
40:29
already in the early 1970s. It is only since the 1990s in the wake of initial moves into the international global history and in the context of the relative decline of the nation state as the decisive social and political unit that it has become grounded in the history profession with a major continuum staking out the field.
40:55
Well, that's because this is where the rubber meets the road in basically eliminating borders. So if you're going to eliminate borders, everything becomes transnational. Transnational history tests constructed national logics of interpretation and development, instead emphasizing the influence and impact of trans-border connections.
41:19
Quote, whether through individuals, non-national identities, and non-state actors, or in terms of objectives shared by people and communities, regardless of their nationalities, unquote. It examines how these connections both feedback to shape nations and to interact and interlink, to establish an identifiable field of social political activity in their own right.
41:42
The distinction between transnational and international is important in this regard, and this is a quote. The difference between international and transnational has nothing to do with the state. Exchanges between countries, even those which do not pass through mediation of states and cultural diplomacy, remain international, as long as their international character does not dilute the national.
42:09
The transnational occurs when there is, if not denationalization, then at least a going beyond the national, i.e. borders, when the latter without disappearing is transcended. Precisely in the domain of culture, the buildup of products, models, and styles across borders can produce the transnational. And so basically what it's saying is kind of in generic terminology.
42:38
International is state-to-state type of trade policies and stuff like that. Transnational descends identifiable nation-state boundaries, like a freedom movement is transnational, or in this case, the opposite of it. Neither does transnational mean supranational.
43:03
An international tribunal can have the force of supranational law without actually having a transnational dimension. Pierre-Yves Saunière defines it nicely as movements and forces that cut across national boundaries. In the process, disrupting, quote, what we are inclined to see as separate and autonomous spatial and social and cultural planes, unquote.
43:34
Added to this is a crucial addition that transnational political activities, while they cross international borders, they do not derive their power and authority from the state. The resulting problems of legitimacy, authority, and accountability that this inevitably generates could partially be overcome by an overarching good and necessary cause of promoting freedom against tyranny, but this position
44:02
received increasing criticism from the late 1950s onward. Imagine that. As attention within the Cold War history has shifted to the 1970s in line with the declassification of government archives, predominantly once again focused on the U.S., so has the transnational become a key moniker through which to appreciate the wider array of agents of social change that were active.
44:29
Much of this attention has been directed to the concept of human rights as a carrier and motivator for transnational activism, which is a hoax because it was actually the anti-human rights and the imprisonment or enslavement of entire regions of the world that has everything to do with this.
44:52
Some have raised concerns about how transnational history has tended to focus on organizations and causes that claim to be doing good, like the Red Cross, anti-slavery movement, feminist movements, leading to an implicit assimilation between the national and the bad and the trans inter supra being good. Yeah, I don't, I don't.
45:19
The feminist movement with CIA and the Red Cross functions as a front for the CIA. Anyway, likewise, most transnational historical studies have examined the emancipatory causes of the left with the linkage of the right being under-theorized. And again, to me, intellectually, the use of the words left and right here is lazy.
45:49
understanding that they're trying to infer that the left is communist and the right is fascist. Some moves have been made to explore the use of particular ideas and concepts to bind political and social thinking. The notion of an Atlantic community was one such concept, widely used during the 20th century with its civilization claims and value-based identity bonding North America with Western Europe.
46:15
That was the entire purpose of creating NATO with that name in order to be able to then do a paramilitary entity out of it in its name. Much anti-communist activism existed in a mutually supporting relationship with the positive imagery that the Atlantic community put forward.
46:38
Once again, this volume expands the boundaries of a transnational historical field by examining and intervening the national, international, and transnational levels of activity. Under the catch-all heading of anti-communism, this intermingling occurred through individual organizations' methods ranging from the circulation of information and documentation to the influencing of public opinion.
47:03
i.e. propaganda, and the infiltration of a neutral or enemy operation. The struggle was waged through a plurality of forms from the committee to the forum, the league, the center, the movement, and the circle, but all of them are best described as networks. Some see this as a new paradigm for the architecture of complexity compared to a hierarchy as the old kind of paradigm used to reflect.
47:33
The usage of a network here does not explicitly adopt the methodology of a social network analysis with its focus on nodes and types of ties between units, although these historical contributions, while shying away from social scientific discourse, do cover the same ground. More academic, blah, blah, blah.
47:59
A focus on networks rather than organizations, institutions, or associations shifts the spotlight away from the identification of a formal decision-making procedure or apparatus and more towards tracking the informal arrangements that were often sealed by class-based, faith-based, or ideological affiliations and what these arrangements enabled the different actors to achieve in terms of material output.
48:28
of anti-communism. The examples covered are predominantly elite networks, differentiating them from other transnational activists such as large-scale social movements or issue-specific NGOs. The network is a useful loose framework through which to examine the whys and wherefores of social actions amongst these groups. Important ways, in important ways,
48:55
the usage of networks here overlap with more specific approaches such as policy networks, the epistemic communities, and basically just allowing you to take all the different aspects of these networks and kind of overlay them on top of each other.
49:21
However, both of these fields, despite their valuable identification of feedback loops between transnational and national level of activity, are explicitly oriented towards unpacking and broadening the understanding of how policy making works. You just compromise the politicians. Boom, it's done. Instead of transnational networks covered, here are exactly relatively free of policy making determinations, so they think.
49:50
There were varying degrees of dependence on public funding and state patronage, which then they're not separate from it. Hello. With private sources of income, be that from private philanthropy, religious funds or commercial enterprises. And what we found out is they're all interlinked because those commercial enterprises they're talking about are businesses that pay to have coups orchestrated.
50:16
playing a vital role in ensuring independence, which they do not at all. Individuals such as Sal Toss and Lucien Troisier were able to make their way through and make use of the U.S.-led multi-level international apparatus of anti-communism, but in no way were they absorbed by it. Instead, one comes out wondering who actually co-opted whom.
50:47
One of the networks, Interdoc, was actually based on a commercial model that assumed multinationals would pay for various services to entrench anti-communist thinking in their workforce. The relative freedom of action also had its downsides. In particular, the danger of self-exclusion and deterioration into nothing more than an elite club for a select few. That's what they all are.
51:15
There were also plenty of obstacles to influence from different cultural perspectives, determinations on sovereignty and national priorities and antagonistic visions on what was acceptable, i.e. the differences between fundamental Protestantism. Neither can any claim be made that it added up to a coherent anti-communist outlook far from it with suspicious.
51:45
suspicions being ripe and ideological based accusations, very common, but the relative freedom could also mean being able through the use of mass media or personal influence to challenge and bend the discourse of narratives and see to me, most of the differences, while there were some actual substantive differences, a lot of them were basically fake. They are a imaginary left and an imaginary left and right.
52:14
And they fake fight. And there's no real fighting because anybody that stood against this got murdered. That's why reading these things without the lens of Operation Gladio is almost impossible. The volume is divided up into four broad sections to illustrate key types of actors and forms of activism present among the networks of anti-communism.
52:44
The first section covers a set of organizations and individuals who were closely related in wide-ranging international apparatus of international communism that was put together under U.S. leadership. This section is most closely associated with the existing literature on U.S. soft power and informal empire during the Cold War. But it moves the debate forward by highlighting how those that were, who largely
53:12
consented and even solicited the U.S. role for their own benefit and beliefs. These contributions all raised the same difficult question. How should we determine who is an agent of the United States or of the West? The example of the Dutch journalist Saul Tass, Swiss trade unionist Lucien Trase, Danish trade unionist Elire Jensen, and Segalanese intellectual
53:41
I don't even know how you say that name, offer surprising parallels. The second section covers transnational networks with case studies covering the 1940s to the 80s. And you guys can see some of these case studies, the Liberté, the Assembly of Captive European Nations, Interdoc, the WACL, World Anti-Communist League, the Institute for Study of Conflict, La Circle.
54:10
that's normally got le in front of it um and basically looking through those different um and i'll let you guys just look over that um the third section covers intellectual networks of anti-totalitarianism with contributions from these people listed not going to try to say their names um and some of these i've looked at and some of them i have not so um
54:37
Basically, they talk about them being, these are the propagandists, for lack of a better word. They're the ones that produced a lot of the information that was then used to propagandize the societies and produce the anti-communist vitriol that is still prevalent today. Okay, so.
55:06
And then it says, however, it soon evolved into a form of pressure group for free market ideology with increasing success, first in West Germany, and then in other countries, Pinochet's Chile, Thatcher's Britain, Reagan's United States. Anti-communism as a motive has tended to underplay or entirely remove from society's narrative, but as the chapter
55:30
by those two people show it was part of a fundamental worldview of this particular neoliberal thinker. So basically the invisible hand and all of that other stuff. The final section, Christian networks, examines both Catholic and Protestant anti-communist activism. Universalist.
55:52
by vocation in their fight against communist atheism, these activists utilize long-standing methods like Bible smuggling as well as more formal transnational organizations, the fundamentalist Protestant International Council of Christian Churches, the Catholic Committee International Defense and Civilization of Christianity. In the case of the ICCC,
56:18
The cultural divisions between U.S. and European Protestants reveals an evident limit to transatlantic transnational organizations. The American branch went so far as to defend the preemptive use of nuclear weapons against the Soviet Union and China, a stance considered too radical for the European branch. Yeah, you know, kill people. There's nothing more Christian about your religion than advocating for mass murder.
56:48
It just beyond compare the pale. But I will say this. What I have now gleaned from the amount of research that we've done is that these organizations, while set up as quote unquote Christian organizations as part of the anti-communist, most of these were all infiltrated with spies and went around the world under the quote unquote Bible smuggling.
57:15
bible translation and all of these other um cute little code words um were nothing more than a an apparatus to embed spies in for them to gain access to um areas that they wouldn't otherwise have access to so just consider that all right so that's it um i finally made it up oh awesome all right just take a little bit more tweaking
57:44
But how many times have they used the churches to advocate for mass slaughter under the guise of... But it reminds me of the stuff that's going on today about how we have to save the transgender movement, the DEI movement. Anyway, just throwing that out there. It's all about destroying... It's an attack. It's an attack on culture. It's an attack on freedom. You know...
58:15
At the end of the day, whatever a country decides as far as a government, it is up to the people of that country to decide what it is. And they will and have over time, just like we did here in the United States, rise up and fight off oppression. And that's their job. It is not the job of another country.
58:45
um to um decide who what kind of government another country is going to have it's just crazy on its surface but what i want to say one more thing about this let's go back to this um this is what i really love about this site um and i wanted again part of my purpose here is to teach you guys how to do all of this yourself so that you can find answers and don't have to rely on anyone like
59:12
One of my, and you guys know this, one of my biggest bitches of these people that are out there, they don't show other people how they get their information. They want to act as a translator for you and for the clicks and all that other crap. So here's what I love about this site. If you look here, they're going to give you, I'm just going to, I'll come back here, but I'm going to scan through this. That bit right there that I just read.
59:42
Not a big, long dissertation. You know, it was fairly lengthy, but look at this. I'm going to spin, just go through. This is all of the citations. That's the most important part. I know the academics things are really hard to read. They say a lot of fancy words to make themselves look smart. That's not who I am, but I'm,
1:00:12
Obviously, after several degrees, you can wade through the fancy words. But I'm still going through the citations. Look how many there are. Now, this has been still going, still going, still going, still going. All right, that's it. So this is how I got a lot of the books that I have.
1:00:41
um, is by going through these, um, citations and looking at the books that they use to prepare, um, their material. And so, um, you can see like here, um, the hidden hand, Britain, America, and the Cold War secret intelligence, um, by, uh, Richard, I have that book. Um,
1:01:06
And I found it because it was used on another one. And then look at this one, Britain, America, and anti-communist propaganda, 45 to 58, right? So let's see another one down here. There's so many freaking books. And no, I'm not buying any of these today. I'm now having to wait on a new bookcase. Just kidding.
1:01:33
All right, so there's a couple more in here that I wanted to talk about. Okay, so here's a government document that they use, the emergence of intelligence establishment, the foreign relations of the United States from 45 to 50. And even though some of these are government productions, you'd be surprised at how many of them actually have good material. The Mighty Wurlitzer, How the CIA Played America, I have that book.
1:02:02
Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, the CIA years and beyond from Stanford Press. So they hide what they're doing. And when all of this starts coming out, people will report back and go, well, we said that. We did a paper. Look right here. Here's another one. On the committee's activities.
1:02:27
It says hot books in the Cold War. The CIA funded the secret book distribution program behind the Iron Curtain. I've read about that, not from that particular publication. But they had entire printing presses that were dedicated to smuggling in not just Bibles, but actually material as well. Here's another one. Covert Networks, Progressive, the International Rescue Committee and the CIA.
1:02:57
Is that crazy? But this thing is just... And that's how all of our research tends to link and tie and link and tie. You know, we find one really good document or historical document and it refers to another one and it refers to another one. And that's how we end up building this history that you're going through right now. Yeah. So here's another one. Linda Rizzo.
1:03:26
Propaganda and Intelligence in the Cold War, the NATO Information Service. Just crazy. Oh, here's another one. Guile Scott Smith, who is the author of this project, The Politics of Apolitical Culture, the Congress for Cultural Freedom, the CIA and Post-World American Hegemony. That was published in 2002.
1:03:58
So that organization is one of the least talked about and probably most important, the Congress for Cultural Freedom, because it had absolutely nothing to do with cultural freedom. It was to steal everyone's cultural freedom and impose an overarching totalitarian type of culture.
1:04:26
where you have no freedom, and they're going to force all of these immigrants in your countries in order to destroy your culture. Destabilizing. Yeah, and it started, as you can see, the dates he uses on his project was from 51 to 58. They've been doing it since then. So anyway, just wanted to bring your attention to several of these.
1:04:56
That talk about the things. Here's another one. Bilderberg people. Elite power and consensus in world affairs. Just obviously. There's tons of material out there. And you just have to. Kind of pick and choose. What it is that you want to do. There's no way that we could read all of these books. And researching. Who it was that wrote the books. Because like you often bring up. A lot of times. If it's being written.
1:05:26
by an approved narrative CIA asset, you can pretty well, you have to look at it through that. You still may get something from it, but you have to look at it through that lens when you're reading it. You can't just read it like you do the others and assume that everything they're saying is not propaganda, even though some of it may give you clues that lead to other things and so on and so on. So that's a good point. So when
1:05:54
Just so that you guys know this, when we first started this and we found Paul Williams, people in our research group tried to convince us that he was an atheist and that you couldn't believe anything he said about the Catholic Church because he was an atheist trying to destroy the church. As you guys heard in his own words, he spent his entire life in the Catholic Church as a Catholic teacher. He was anything but an atheist.
1:06:22
Um, and so checking out, um, the authors and that's why I read, um, we did the book, a prelude to terror, that whole book written by Joe Trento was put together on the basis of three CIA agents material that they stole from the CIA. So when you get to the D class, none of their shit's going to be D class because they stole it. Right. So you have.
1:06:51
all of their material that was boxed up and shipped to Joe Trento under the guise that he would not release or write anything based on their material until after they were all dead. And he honored that request. He wrote a book called Prelude to Terror, which we went through as a book review prior to the book we're doing now. And it was very enlightening, but it was not 100% honest in their characterization. Now they may have,
1:07:21
facts correct but how the facts interact with other stuff sometimes had a little bit of a narrative spin which is why you can't just read one book and come to a an opinion you have to read multiple books before you can actually form an opinion and there's always that was one of the things i loved about having paul williams on was that he um
1:07:50
also explained about how as he evolved as a writer and a researcher he realized some of his beginning books were not they were kind of pushing along the same propaganda yeah not intentionally correct but then he has to go back and and so you look for sometimes you'll find amended books where they have a second revision yeah yeah i wonder if he's done that to any of his books
1:08:22
It made me wonder, you know, when we had him on last time, but we were involved in the other parts of it, so I didn't ask. Yeah, that's very interesting. Okay, let's see. Destruction of core beliefs. You're absolutely right. And there is a massive propaganda campaign to destroy our core belief systems. Let's see. Good to see you, Bridget, Tara says. Bridget's never on camera.
1:08:52
um catholic charities receives billions liza said absolutely um a lot of them did the um hebrew um interagency one that uh um what's her name um laura whatever her name is um revealed down there in um colombia that was um orchestrating all of this h a i c i think is the acronym for it um
1:09:24
Let's see. Oh, uh, Magravator loves my hat. Thank you. I have like 10 of them. My jewelry lady over at the Strawberry Festival one year started carrying these and she had them in like every color. So I had to buy every color. Um, eventually I didn't buy them all in one time. Um, oh, and Christine's also talking about my hat. Um, glad you guys noticed. Um, okay. So.
1:09:53
That's about it for the comments that I see. So we're going to spend a couple of minutes here with Bridget and I. So now I want to flip to the back. Not, okay. So let's go to the, what can I go to? This is all of my,
1:10:23
let's go to this one. I want to share the screen and then see what that does. Oh, it moves us down to the bottom. Okay. That's what I was wondering is what it does to the people. So I know where to keep the material so that it's easier. And I, I don't know if it lets me, I don't like the fact that it's down on the bottom. It would be better if it was off to the side. Right. Let me try.
1:10:53
going back to that and see if I put that full screen if it moves where we're at. What did it do, Bridget? I can't see it while it's full screen. Where does it show us? It doesn't look like it did anything. Now it's just showing the frame around it. Yeah, so we're still down at the bottom and not on the side? Yes. Yeah, I don't like that. How about auto? You see at the top you can change the presentation to auto? Let me get back there.
1:11:26
Maybe not. Well, that was a good idea in theory. There? Oh, auto. I see. All right. Now let me bring it back up. Let me go back to that. Let's see. Now what did that do? Nothing. We can't see it. All you can see is us. Really? What the heck? Why isn't it showing that? You know, that's a good question. It took me forever to...
1:12:17
figure out how to get my microphones and video up so so i i'm not okay hold on um stop sharing let me share my actual screen entire screen can you see my entire screen now no can't see anything just us what the heck you have to click on presentation i know i did mode i think i did
1:12:50
And then you have to click on entire screen and it's supposed to give you a share, but it's not. Window. OK, so maybe let's see. Oh, I see. So it's got brave tab and then it's got window and it's got entire screen. Let me try that. Oh, there we go. All right. OK. Yes, because I'm going to need to be able to do that.
1:13:20
Oh, so it automatically moved me down to presentation when I did that. I see that. Okay. So we're going to need to be able to do that when we get to the Yemen presentation, which I'm going to sign off here and come back probably like say around 1230. So I can grab some lunch and do the Yemen presentation because we're going to go tab by tab by tab through the Yemen material. And it's going to be crazy.
1:13:50
Um, so there, there are some things that I want to show you other things. Um, I mean, I'm not going to obviously, um, read all of the stuff I'm going to show you, but I want to do it as twofold. I want to tell you what the history of Yemen is, um, because of the executive order. And I want you guys to watch, we're going to do a operation Gladio, um, in real life. Um, I'm going to show you what the background of Yemen is and Trump.
1:14:20
just signed an executive order that designated a particular group in Yemen as a terrorist group, which of course we know activates 4512-2. And I want you guys to form your own opinion on what you think of this particular group that was designated a terror group, because we are watching unfold the way
1:14:49
The Iran-Contra happened. We're watching unfold the way the attack to kill Allende happened. We're watching in real time as the overthrow of Brazil, the coup in Guatemala, everywhere. We are watching in real time something very similar unfold. And I want you guys to make your own assessment of what's going on. Okay?
1:15:19
So, and by the way, since we have this up, I want to show you guys something just as another kind of research tactic. You see this thing right here? I came across this organization, Christian Anti-Communist Crusade. I was actually going to do this on the Alpha Warrior Show before I found that Battelle.
1:15:47
aspect of them funding everything behind the scenes. And they basically have been a large part of the technology used in Operation Gladio around the world in funding projects with DARPA to include COVID-19, by the way. And they are the ones that run these weapon labs from an administrative standpoint and security and hygiene. And they have been, you know, completely
1:16:17
consistently cited for lack of containment of biological warfare things. So they've been written up repeatedly for potentially releasing because around the Georgia, the country of Georgia, the people that live around that lab there as part of that Lugar bioweapons lab that we fund, tons of people have gotten sick and died.
1:16:46
So, yeah, probably the only saving grace of that is that a lot of those people don't travel here and around the world because they're all poor, that there hadn't been something like this in the past. So I wanted to show you guys just real quick, if you use Yandex, so watch this. Now, if I take this same title here and I come over here,
1:17:16
and cut and paste this into just the normal Brave. Do you see what comes up? You know, McCarthyism and all this other garbage. But if you use this, it comes up with actual, no kidding, what it is. And even though this is the Atlantic, what you would be very surprised at
1:17:46
is how accurate this article is about what this thing did. Because again, a lot of these are older articles. You've got several of these different things, like this is an entire research project on it that addressed 30 years of its activity.
1:18:10
And it just comes up with a whole bunch of different information. The Vatican's history of vicious anti-communism, meaning basically it played a part in the, and obviously so, if you're going to be the rat line sponsor of getting all the fascists out of.
1:18:33
Europe and dispersing them around the world, you are definitely by definition going to be anti-communist because of their stance on religion. And, you know, that's why I love the fact that people still consider Russia communist, even though they've embraced the Christian religion extensively and are some of the best preservers of
1:19:01
Christianity in the world. And, and one of the only countries that's basically in the Western type world, not to include the Islamic countries that have been, you know, anti-LGB, whatever alphabet soup kind of stuff is going on. So anyway, having said all of that, thank you guys for being here.
1:19:28
let's see, SR, to display participants on the left, you can use the canvas feature in Rumble Studio, which enables you to add text images and more to your stream. You can customize the layout. All right, smarty, let's see. The text feature, it says I have no text. So how do I have,
1:19:58
I don't see where it allows me to do that. So I do see SR 71 where I can put, let's see, at Colonel Towner as text and then run it on like a ticker. And then, all right, so I added that. And yeah, so now it's up there. But how do I move that?
1:20:36
edit it um i want it at the bottom save all right so i see my now my name's running over my but i don't see how you rearrange the the media um add new media um video i can um yeah i don't see how you change the format of the screen sr71 can you see what he said on it
1:21:08
i'm looking but i don't see it it just says canvas feature and um gonna have to do it a little more and the problem is that there really isn't a whole lot of how-to videos aside from the basics with the rumble studio no they did a really bad job yeah so kind of have to just monkey with it and um well even when i was getting into the studio i had to do
1:21:35
Jumped through 15 hoops to try and figure out. And it won't work on my phone. I'm actually using my iPad. Oh, well, that's interesting. Got no answer. Got no reason. So. And let's see. There's theme. Add new theme. Overlay live chat. Viewer stats.
1:22:04
On top of stream and while she's working on that everybody don't forget to smash the thumbs up on the way out We are getting massively actively very actively suppressed And guys over on X Repost repost the crap out of this everybody needs to learn this the more you learn this the less you can be manipulated by the lying media and They don't want that happening There's a reason why
1:22:33
the colonel's space is glitched there's a reason why you don't you have to go actively looking for her feet um i wish it was something different but maybe they'll tie up those back doors eventually maybe all right so i'm just trying to go through all of these um
1:23:01
And then save to the library, give it a name. It won't even let me save. I just tried to create a different theme because I thought maybe that it would say I could rearrange the desktop. And it says save to the library. And it won't even, I guess I have to add an image. I don't know. It's all too complicated for me.
1:23:32
Where's my garbage can fucked hard thing? That would be a great image to have. Oh, you guys are aiding and abetting a very bad thing to do. We need a tech guy. We need an active techie dude.
1:24:02
Brady is trying to help me. Um, that's what Christian, the guy that came up, um, that's what he does for Brady. So we are working on that. Um, so let me, uh, try this. Yeah. It won't even let me create a new theme. Um, and I did everything. I added a actual thing. So whatever.
1:24:34
I did do the Gladio Glasses one, so I had it working, but I don't know if I can't do it while I'm in the middle of a stream or what. I don't know. Too complicated for me. John Harold does not use Rumble Studio that I know of. All of the guys over at Badlands all use StreamYard. And StreamYard is fine, but you have to go to StreamYard.
1:25:02
And then it streams over with a delay to Rumble. And that's tough for me, again, because I don't have multiple screens, to be able to be over on StreamYard and try to look at the chat on Rumble to be able to get feedback from you guys because of that delay. So seeing yourself twice on the StreamYard and on Rumble.
1:25:30
for me is spatially disorienting um and because one's like a 15 second delay so that messes with my head and i prefer not to do that because i'm trying to concentrate on the material that i'm trying to give to you guys so um yeah um it is very very challenging for and i would love to be able to use my phone
1:25:55
which i know i can do on stream yard but i don't see how i can do it on here as the visual so that the camera like this angle for me is awful but i have to in order to use my laptop camera i have to have it down here if i'm actually doing like a tutorial where i'm going to be messing with all of the material so because i don't have a separate like keyboard with a monitor up here i know on stream yard i can put my phone as the video
1:26:23
and it's separated that way so there's just so much crap um associated with all of this stuff so anyway yeah there you go so it won't let me um select an alternative camera we'll figure it all out it's no big deal and when i when it's crucial that i do that i will use stream yard um but you have to pay um to use it in order to
1:26:53
have a certain amount of memory and they limit you in memory unless you're paying a fortune for it which you know i'm doing all this shit for free so i'm not going to pay spend a fortune on a streaming capability so anyway it's all good and i will be back i will send out an announcement 15 to 30 minutes ahead of time on when we're going to schedule the yemen um show because
1:27:20
It's going to be crazy. As you guys can see, I have like 20 tabs open. Anyway. Sounds awesome. All right. Can't wait. All right. So I will talk to you guys soon. Take care.
