0:00 Hello everybody. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We are going to be talking about Turkey today. We are going to be moving on to another area. There's several that we will swing back through. I'm trying to

0:28 paint a high-level view of what Operation Gladio has been across the world. So we're hitting the highlights in geographical regions, kind of matching up our military COCOMs with combatant commanders with the areas. And so before I leave Europe, I want to cover Turkey because, of course, it's part of the UCOM combatant commander geography.

0:58 It's kind of a linchpin in that area of the region, as we'll go into today, before we move on to Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. So that's kind of where we're at. And Bridget's going to be a few minutes late. So we are going to go ahead and...

1:28 get started, and we're gonna kind of get started in a weird way, because one of the foundational aspects of Turkey's role in Operation Gladio kind of feeds through the Vatican, and you'll understand why as we get to it. So, in...

1:58 Paul Williams' book, Operation Gladio, he talks about one of his chapters, chapter 15 to be specific, talks about the Pope must die. And in there, he makes the several points, actually, that the world in March of 1981 was changing.

2:28 There was a raid on the villa of Lucio Gelli, who was the grand poobah of the Masonic Lodge called Propaganda Du, which is P2. And it revealed, although not publicly, because that didn't happen until 1990, it revealed some very interesting...

2:58 information that there was several Operation Gladio cells being operated in Italy, one of which was called the New Order. One was called the Revolutionary Action Movement. One was called the Band of Magellana. And the CIA and what is called SISMI, which is military intelligence.

3:29 All was in on it. And this information went on to implicate Sedona, Calvi, the guy that they hung off the bridge in London, and Marcinkus, who was the archbishop in Chicago that they moved over to control the Vatican Bank, which they then began using for money laundering. And Marcinkus was intimately involved in the mafia money laundering going on in Chicago because his church.

3:58 banked at the same kind of front bank, if you will, in Chicago as the mob did. And so there was lots of overlap there. So all of that is to set up the role of John Paul II and how his involvement with, because he was from Poland originally.

4:26 And, you know, this is before the wall fell and before Poland had its independence from the Soviet Union. And the Vatican was making bank on all of this drug money because a large part of it was being laundered through the Vatican Bank. And depending on which author you read, they were making about 10 to 15 percent on every dollar. And they were doing billions and in some.

4:55 groupings of years, trillions of dollars. And by a rough order magnitude of math, you can multiply that times 15% and understand that they were making a lot of money. So John Paul II wanted to use part of the money that they were making to funnel that money into the Poland Solidarity Movement.

5:24 And in January of 1981, he met with Lex Fluenza, and through him, you almost get, and I'm just using these words, these are my words, not Paul Williams' words, you get the feeling that what was going on by reading not just Paul Williams' account, but several of them, that John Paul II was basically, and these are my words,

5:55 buying Poland's freedom, that the USSR, the Soviet Union, would not interfere too much, enough to make it look like it was legitimate, but not too much, to allow their worker strikes and that type of thing to kind of have its effect and basically buy some independence.

6:25 Obviously, that required greasing of some palms in the Soviet Union. Well, because they have a very well-played network of eavesdropping, it became readily apparent to some of the people in the CIA and in NATO.

6:52 that this was happening and that John Paul II was basically negotiating with the Soviet Union, and they didn't take very kindly to that. And one of Paul Williams' points that he made was that there was a strike, which was the biggest one ever to happen against the Soviet Union, just a couple of months later after John Paul II's meeting in Poland.

7:22 um, or meeting with, uh, uh, Luenza. So his meeting was in January and the strike was in March. Um, it said, um, the strikers were not afraid. They believed a report, um, that the Pope would basically take care of them. Um, and the Pope kind of intervened and said, Hey, um,

7:58 You don't want to do that because that's basically going to go against some of the information. And then right away, the strike was called off. So there was clear intent as far as working with all of this. The problem for NATO and the Gladio people was that

8:24 The timing was really bad because remember what we talked about in Belgium in the Brabant massacres that was going on. This was right about the same time. And so they've got all of these attacks going on in Belgium and there's stealing of weapons and accusations of, you know, of course, because they blamed it all on the communists.

8:53 So it was when you then tie the Pope to talking or negotiating with the communists as NATO's trying to use them as a boogeyman in order to generate domestic terrorism in Belgium, it really screws up the entire conversation. And they had just in Italy done the Bologna bombing. So again, really.

9:22 Really bad timing. And in 1980, General Kenan Efrem, who was the commander of one of the counter guerrillas, which is what they called part of their gladio unit in Turkey, had staged a coup that toppled the government of Brulent Ecevit, E-C-E-B-I-T.

9:52 And I have made mention of the fact that it was not unusual in Turkey for the military, all of which was trained by NATO and specifically the United States, to any time a president got wind of their Grey Wolf network or wasn't doing what NATO wanted, they'd just coup them and get a new one. It happened way more than it ever should have.

10:23 So this was, again, in 1980. Obviously, that's an election year. And President Jimmy Carter phoned the CIA station chief in Ankara, Paul Henze, H-E-N-Z-E, and said his quote, your people have made the coup, unquote. That's what Jimmy Carter said to the CIA.

10:52 station chief. And the CIA station chief responded, yes, our boys have done it. So then Brzezinski, Carter's national security advisor, is quoted as saying, for Turkey, a military government would be the best solution. You know, like we get the choice to pick who gets to be a democracy and who's going to have a dictator. So Ephraim dissolved Turkey's parliament,

11:23 and the general, the newly installed dictator, and suspended legislation governing all civil liberties and human rights of Turkish citizens, stating that such acts were needed for political stability. The coup was successful due to the extensive training of the Gladio units and their youth division, known as the Grey Wolves, and the preponderance of Turkey's

11:54 You know, we refer to the overall operation of Gladio and specifically Gladio was used for the network in Italy. Gray wolves is the term that's used not exclusively in Turkey because there are other cells, but it was the predominant one, the gray wolves.

12:13 So you will hear me when I talk about Turkey using that collectively, but understand just like there was New Order and several other names within Italy, that is true in Turkey as well. Because again, this was kind of decentralized non-attribution. So if they were able to take one network down like gray wolves, there would be others. They were redundant.

12:43 And at the time, in the 80s, there was a lot of sabotage, bombings, killings, tortures, rigging of elections throughout Turkey. And the training for the paramilitary centers in Turkey via the CIA was in several cities, as well as the island of Cyprus, because remember, there's Turkish forces on Cyprus as well.

13:14 Ankara, Balu, B-O-L-U, Buka, which is near Izmir, and Kanakale, C-A-N-A-K-K-A-L-E. And then, of course, you won't be surprised at all to know that many of their officers were sent to Fort Benning, Georgia.

13:40 which, of course, is where they moved the schools, the School of Americas. And then Encinita Naval Base near the American border also had some of the naval training that was done for the Turkish officers. Then Paul Williams goes on and talks about in the 1960s, you had a group called the Counter Guerrillas and a group called the Gray Wolves that basically staged all kinds of

14:12 Domestic terrorism resulting in the death of over 500 student teach union members, booksellers and politicians. And that there were over 1700 different cells of just the gray wolves amounting to over 200,000 trained paramilitary, which is the largest known.

14:42 gladio capability in the world, more importantly in NATO. So, Evren, the newly installed general dictator, said that he feared that the wolves, the gray wolves, and the CIA were basically not controllable at that point.

15:13 And keep in mind that a large portion of this forest was used to suppress the Kurdish population that they staged, like down in the Diyarbakir area, which is just north of Iraq, inside of Turkey. They would stage, they would basically dress up like the PKK, which is the military.

15:43 capability of the Kurds. It stands for Kurdish Workers' Party. The world lists them as a terrorist organization, not unlike they listed the Sandinistas as communist. In the fact that they had to organize to fend off the Turkish aggression, same thing with the Saddam Hussein in Iraq, because none of them liked the Kurds.

16:13 So them forming a militant branch to defend themselves gets them called a terrorist, while no one even acknowledges that the gray wolves exist. And so what they would do is they would dress up and they had specific colored headgear, like the ones that I was with, not like with, but saw, all had the red and white, it's not checkered, it's more like a hound tooth print, head turbans on.

16:43 And so there's very distinctive things that they wear. Like most of the guys, the Kurds that we were embedded with had black and white turbans when they wore a turban. Most of them didn't wear one, but when they did, it was black and white. The PKK all had on red and white, as they were pointed out to me. So they would dress up like the PKK and attack Turkish citizens, kill them. And then the gray wolves would use that false flag.

17:12 Because it was actually gray wolves dressed up in PKK accoutrements. And then the gray wolves would just unleash holy terror on the Kurds and annihilate entire villages, just like we've seen done. And then they did it, you know, for a multitude of political reasons, but just understand that that's what happened.

17:41 You also have a group called Ergenekon. It's E-R-G-E-N-E-K-O-N. Now, Paul Williams accurately refers to them as the bastard son of Gladio, an illegitimate offspring of the U.S. intel and the Babas in Turkey.

18:10 That is a reasonable, once you understand the background of it, it's a reasonable association to make with them. But just understand that when you hear that, it is part of Gladio, but they didn't have as direct a tie to NATO funding and the CIA funding as the rest of them. They kind of literally were the bastard son of them.

18:40 Another few names I want to throw out just from what Paul Williams said. Ergenekon basically originated back when Bill Donovan and Paul Helliwell and James Angleton was kind of at the helm where they funded and enabled street thugs and assassins and drug lords to operate with

19:12 pleat immunity. So that's where this group came from. And Ergenekon was basically, by the late 1970s, controlling all heroin trade from the Golden Triangle, which basically is, for Turkey's perspective, in the northern part of Turkey. And at that point,

19:36 it had become worth billions of dollars and 20% of Turkey's entire earned income for the country. So this was a huge big deal. And you can kind of think of them almost as a mafioso, but with strong intel ties to the CIA. So that's kind of how they fit in if you hear people talking about those.

20:05 Paul Williams also mentions a guy by the name of Henry Shard, S-C-H-A-R-D-T, Dewey Claridge, C-L-A-R-R-I-D-G-E, and other CIA operatives. Both of those guys were. And their role in...

20:36 creating the gray wolves. And he mentioned specifically Abdullah Catley, C-A-T-L-I, and Mehmed Ali Akka, A-G-C-A. Now, those people will be very important in a couple of minutes, but understand that those people are part of the gray wolf network.

21:05 Um, they also were, they could have been, I don't have a direct relation, um, as far as training goes, but they could have been, um, uh, part of Skorzeny's crew because they very much were trained assassins. Um, ACA, A-G-C-A, began his career smuggling drugs, um, from Northern Turkey.

21:35 over to the Balkan countries and then into Europe. And let's see. He then moved up to be basically a bodyguard, then a hitman, and then basically both Kath and a guy by the name of Oral Selick, C-E-L-I-K, all began working together.

22:07 As part of the Gray Wolf Network. And I wanted to kind of just go over one particular mission. In February 1979, ACA took part in the murder of a guy by the name of, you have to, I'm sorry about these names, Abdi Ipekci. I-P-E-K-C-I.

22:37 who was an editor at a local newspaper, like one of the biggest ones. It'd be like the Washington Post guy. When Aka was arrested, he said, yeah, I shot him. I killed him. I was alone and I fired four or five times. But actually, that's not what happened at all because there were 13 cartridges found at the crime scene.

23:09 Ipeksi, the newspaper guy, was one of Turkey's most distinguished journalists, and his assassination shocked the nation. Aka received a life sentence and was incarcerated in the Istanbul prison. After serving just six months, he quote-unquote escaped after having been provided an army uniform. He simply just strolled out of the jail with Abdullah Kath as his escort.

23:41 The Babas had needed him to go back to work. And that happened many, many times in Turkey. So, and throughout the whole Gladio network, as a matter of fact, people would just disappear out of prisons. And we also found many instances in which they were put in prison, continued to do business in prison, not unlike

24:13 Luciano and all of the guys that were in prison. And I don't know if you guys have ever, I know that's kind of a weird habit, but anytime I go to a big city, I always, if they have one of the like 1930s prison that they have turned into a museum, I always go. One of the things that you'll find fascinating about touring those prisons is.

24:42 If they've ever had any famous prisoner, they're not down cell block eight on the left, fifth cell from the end of the row. They are put in a private cell, not in the long hallways, because a lot of them are like wagon wheels with spokes. They're put up in the main area.

25:13 where there's none of the prisoners can see their movements. They are given writing desks. They're giving someone in some cases, some of them even had air conditioned cells where nobody else did. They're not given the same little solitary confinement, little eight by eight room outside. They're allowed to kind of meander around in that main area. And in some cases,

25:42 Their families, to include the entire mafiosa, would bring them food every day and feed them. They have completely different quote-unquote jail places for them. They are only co-located with a prison. They are not in the actual prison. It's crazy. But we were in one in upstate New York that had some...

26:13 mafia people in it that was arranged just like that the one in philadelphia was kind of the biggest mind-blowing one and it had several um of these mafia guys but keep that in the back of your mind when i tell you these people go to jail because they don't really go to jail they just go to a prison to have a kind of almost

26:39 seclusive kind of protected environment that is not like the general cell block. And, you know, you could kind of almost make the argument because they're notorious that you wouldn't want, it's like putting a pedophile in there, you know, they're going to get killed. But that's kind of the risk of doing business for a mafiosa. And we don't have any business protecting them.

27:07 from the general population once you're inside of a prison, in my opinion, any more than you would protect anybody else. I'm not saying let everybody open fire on them, but I just think it's weird. And because that's available for anybody to see today, if you were to ever go look, you know that that was known by all of these people back then. It's very visible. Okay.

27:39 Um, so we've established that, um, and this is going to be important for the next part that Aka is an experienced, um, assassin. And, um, also three days after he walked out of the prison, Aka wrote a letter to the guy he assassinated's paper. Um, and he made it clear.

28:11 that he was basically auditioning for taking out the Pope. And I'm going to read part of it. Fearing that Turkey, this is a quote, fearing that Turkey is attempting to realize a new political, military, and economic power with its Islamic brother countries in the Middle East during this highly sensitive time.

28:35 the Western imperialists are sending John Paul, who behind his religious mask is a commander of the cross, with all speed to Turkey. If this senseless and poorly timed visit is not canceled, then I will not hesitate to shoot the Pope. This is the only reason I escape from prison. Revenge will certainly be taken for an attack on Mecca by the United States and Israel.

29:06 Acre also made it well known that he believed in a pan-Turkish Islamic empire, basically a return to the Ottoman Empire. He even sometimes would say to people that he was basically Jesus Christ reincarnated.

29:38 In early April 1981, a guy by the name of Abuser Ugrlu, U-G-U-R-L-U, received word that they were to kill the Pope and blame the Communists. It was to be the ultimate false flag. The message came with a payment of $1.7 million.

30:07 The arrangement had been made by members of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, P2, the Safari Club, and by the way, the Safari Club is very much like the World Wildlife Fund. It was a CIA front, and the Safari Club specifically was set up by Henry Pissinger. And they basically, by name request, with their $1.7 million, CAF and ACA,

30:37 to perform the duties of the assassination. And keep in mind that the Sovereign Military Order of Malta had probably half of the top 10 people in the CIA headquarters, and all of the CIA station chiefs in Rome, Italy, and at the Vatican were all members of

31:06 that order as well. So that's basically, um, for all intents and purposes, a CIA hit job. Now, um, there's many, um, Paul Williams spends a lot of time talking about the shooting in St. Peter's square, which is basically the hit. Um, and

31:32 I'm not going to cover it extensively, but I am going to make some observations for you. Ted Shackley was involved in this. He was also a member of the Safari Club. And I also don't think that it's a coincidence that Apple's search browser is called Safari. I'm just going to throw that out there to you.

32:05 I want to label some of the entities that, well, let me give you a little bit about Shackley for those who may be new. He basically is the one that helped Paul Helliwell set up the heroin network in Vietnam. He oversaw the Operation Phoenix, the Phoenix program, where they made people disappear.

32:33 throughout Vietnam via liquidation. And he also was one of the leading figures in the Nugent Hand Bank, which we've talked about repeatedly. He oversaw billions of dollars being deposited in the Australian bank for laundering purposes. He went to all over South America and was a part of Operation Condor.

33:02 And he helped them train to set up the death squads. He also worked in Chile with Stefano Dali Chiesi, who was the one responsible for the murder of Salvador Allende. So this guy is basically one-stop shopping, Operation Gladio. Shackley also was involved in...

33:30 setting up subsidiaries of main CIA fronts to hide the drug trade. He worked directly with Edwin Wilson, who we covered extensively. Edwin Wilson was an arms dealer that had dealt with Libya and Iraq. One of the front companies that Shackley

33:57 was called Lake Resources, Inc. He also set up Stanford Technology Trading Group, Inc., and a fiduciary French company called C-O-M-P-A-G-N-I D-Services. Another one was C-S-F Investments Limited, Udall.

34:29 Research Corporation. That one was located in Central America. And in the United States, he set up one called ORCA, O-R-C-A, Supply Company in Florida, and Consultants International in Washington, D.C. These were all funded by drug trafficking, heroin specifically, and interlinked with other CIA front companies and the Vatican.

34:58 After leaving the CIA in 1979, Shackley formed Research Associates International, which specialized in, basically, it was a way to, because in 79, keep in mind, that's when Jimmy Carter was cleaning out the CIA. This is one of those CIA front that became part of the enterprise, which was the privatization of the CIA.

35:26 with all of the people they didn't want to lose, but was part of the downsizing of Jimmy Carter. And let's see, he was also part of the October surprise of which left the Iranian hostages in over the election to make Jimmy Carter look worse than he already did.

35:56 And let's see, members of the Safari Club. So Henry Kissinger set up the Safari Club in 1976. Members included intel agency heads from France, Egypt, Iran, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and a whole slew of CIA agents. The primary function was to orchestrate terrorist and proxy groups, basically Operation Gladio stuff, just like the WWF.

36:25 They were involved in the Iran-Contra deal, the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, UNITA, remember we talked about them in Angola, the RENAMO in Mozambique, which we haven't got to yet, but all of the bad guys. They basically funded all of the Contra-style people in the overthrowing of governments.

36:53 That's basically what they did. And the Safari Club provided a front organization to orchestrate meetings to do the planning necessary for this. Now, in 1981, a guy by the name of Count Alexandre de Marenches, M-A-R-E-N-C-H-E-S.

37:21 was the chief executive of the French Secret Service, which we know as SDECE. He served as one of the primary leaders of the Safari Club. He was also a sovereign knight of Malta, as was Bill Casey, Alexander Haig.

37:52 Treasury Secretary William Simon, the U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican William Wilson, Lucio Gelli, the Grand Poobah Lodge Mason P2 Atheist Guy, Friar Felix Morleone, and General Santibito of the Military Intelligence Organization in Italy. Through the Knights of Malta,

38:20 they became aware of John Paul II's negotiation with the Kremlin. And they basically agreed that he needed to be removed because you're not allowed to talk to the Soviet Union. So at some point, they decided that they weren't going to necessarily take him out. They were going to give him a warning order. And the warning order...

38:49 came about in the form of shooting him in the St. Peter's open area, which of course is exactly what happened. And again, there's a lot more to this in Paul Williams' book, but suffice it to say that that's what happened. He got shot. Now, when it first happened,

39:19 There was the typical, you know, oh, my gosh, it's the communist kind of stuff. But at the end of the day, it was finally adjudicated. And it ended up being Abdullah Kath and his ACA and another guy, the guy I mentioned earlier, Selick, C-E-L-I-K.

39:48 All of which had known gladio ties in Turkey to the gray wolves, which is why this is so relevant. That understanding the role that all of this has had in our normal events, events that you and I both lived through and knew nothing about the.

40:18 undertones of what was going on at as they happened and without understanding um the overall skeleton of operation gladio it makes it impossible for us to understand the events that happen so i want to um jump over to danielle ganzer's book um he also has

40:47 um a chapter on turkey and um he starts a little earlier and i do want to give you that kind of a background so that you understand um the dynamics of that area because the last part of this is going to be kind of tying this all to what's going on today so just jumping back a little bit in time um the

41:17 During the First World War, a large part of the Ottoman Empire, which was headquartered in Turkey, broke apart. Many will tell you that's the whole reason why we had the war, is so they could break up the Ottoman Empire. Almost the entire population was Muslim.

41:42 It was late in the whole Ottoman Empire setting up. Originally, when the Ottoman Empire began, it was convert or die. They just literally killed everybody that didn't convert to Islam. But as that empire grew so big, especially as it branched into the European, like when they came into Italy and they came into Spain and then on, you know.

42:10 Northward word, it became more and more difficult to do that 100 percent convert or die because most of their fighters were not well educated and able to administer cities. And especially once you got into Europe, where things were more complex and you had more in.

42:35 Not necessarily industrialized, but just more advanced cultures. And as that happened, the leadership in the Ottoman Empire kind of, and I'm definitely just glossing over this, trying to give you kind of a 30,000 foot look. All of this is much more complicated. But generally, the thought was that we'll leave the...

43:04 administrators in charge of the administrative state, but we're going to be in charge. And there were many people in the Ottoman Empire that said that is absolutely not how we got where we're at. And it's basically everybody convert or die. And you doing that is going to screw this all up. And that is, in some people's argument,

43:33 where you had one of the big kind of philosophical divisions of people saying, no, it's got to be everybody is Islamic in every Islamic town. Nobody can be anything else. And then you had some of the people that were like, that's not actually going to work.

43:54 We have to have other people and maybe they just stick around long enough to teach us how to do their job. I don't know. But they kind of went back on that all or nothing philosophy. And then after the fact, when Turkey basically lost and the caliphate was gone, that kind of radicalized a lot of people saying that's where Turkey screwed it up.

44:19 Not only should the caliphate never have been in Turkey because it always belonged in Mecca or Medina, but not only did they take it, they screwed it up once they did. And so you can see how that kind of leaves a sour taste in their mouth. And that's been a point of contention in many circles that I've been privy to.

44:46 All of this, Turkey was not part of CENTCOM's AOR, but all of the Middle East was. I've heard more than I can name conversations with people from that area saying everything that I just said. I'm giving you the Reader's Digest version, but that's kind of the way many of them feel. Not all of them, many of them. And after 9-11, we had representatives from like 34 countries.

45:15 all of which the Middle East was represented. We had UAE, we had Oman, we had everybody in Tampa, Florida, every one of them. So I spent my last year at CENTCOM basically getting them all bedded down. So they all came in within like about a 90-day period of time. We went from a headquarters of a couple of thousand to a headquarters of about 5,000, 6,000. They all had to have...

45:45 rooms in the local area. It was crazy. Now, of course, my idea was to throw up some tents on the base, and that's the only way we could secure them. And believe it or not, this is the Air Force person telling everybody.

46:03 Throw up some tents. We have harvest falcon. It's air conditioned. It's not like it's a hardship. I lived in one for six months in northern Iraq when it was 120 degrees. So, screw it. They can do that here, too. We'll arrange buses, take them downtown, let them eat, blah, blah, blah. Oh, hell no.

46:22 No, it was the army colonel that I worked for at the time. I was a lieutenant colonel. And it was like, oh, we couldn't possibly do that. We've got to get them rooms and blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, what, are we not in the military? Is that not a military deployment? But anyway, that's a whole nother story. But so again, I've had plenty of conversations philosophically with a lot of the people over there, learned a ton.

46:50 So that's kind of just the Reader's Digest version. So anyway, that kind of gives you an overview. Now, I also want to add that the Muslim, primarily Muslim ethnic groups of the Turks, the Kurds, and the Armenians.

47:23 um is um not friendly to each other at all and um there there was um a lot of friction between that and you guys have probably heard me um talk about after world war ii where they got rid of kurdistan and created

47:54 Well, dissolved Kurdistan and embedded it in the four surrounding countries, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Turkey, that there was a lot of. I view that as part of the strategy of tension where it definitely created a lot of tension and full blown military actions. The ability to use false flags to manipulate people with violence and.

48:24 It became the gift that kept giving. And there is over 12 million, at least there were before they started ethnic cleansing, Kurdish people that were divvied up among those four countries. And in some cases, like in Turkey, it became up to 20% of their new population. So you also have...

48:52 After World War I, the Armenian ethnic group that was trapped inside of Turkey became the Turkish genocide, of which some people say over 2 million Armenians were killed.

49:22 Some say, oh, sorry, some say there were 2 million Armenians and only 200,000 survived, meaning about 1.8 were murdered. And you also, so that's kind of in the northeast area, but you also have the southern area, which is where the Kurds are. And, you know, there was ethnic cleansing there, too. So basically, the post-World War.

49:52 turkish state that kind of got chopped up um in because it was part of the greater ottoman empire um basically um was very unstable it was be the best way to say that um and that basically was used as um a mechanism

50:22 for Operation Gladio to do whatever it wanted to do. And obviously, Turkey's close proximity to Russia made it a target, well, for several reasons. You've got the Caspian Sea right there. The only way out to the Mediterranean and on is through Turkey. There's like a, almost kind of like a mini Suez Canal area between two parts of Turkey. So you have the...

50:51 International Syndicate had to control Turkey. So it's got a Russian border or a Soviet Union at the time. And it's the only way that the Soviet Union's Navy has access to the rest of the world without going way up north. It's its own, you know, warm weather, which of course is the prize of Crimea as well. So blah, blah, blah.

51:19 Turkey was strategically very, very important. And that's why NATO had to have it inside of NATO, because it's their thorn in the side to the Soviet Union until they were able to acquire a whole bunch of the other surrounding areas. But initially, it was the big needle in the side of the Soviet Union. So with all of that said, you have Turkey.

51:52 guarded a third of NATO's border with Warsaw Pact countries at the time. That's why it was so huge. Turkey has an elite. And that elite was basically utilized by the CIA to turn Turkey into a, almost like a,

52:24 What would you call it? An appendage to the military industrial complex of the United States. And they did it by laundering military aid and State Department aid through Turkey and Turkey's military in order to purchase large-scale amounts of military. And it became basically like a vassal state of the United States from a military perspective.

52:54 Turkey has, outside of the United States, the largest military. So it's not a coincidence that it, in NATO, it is not a coincidence that it also has the largest Gladio because it has access to the largest weapon caches in order to train and equip these Gladio networks. They go hand in hand. So.

53:25 And I don't know if you guys know, but in 1961, NATO and the U.S. put nuclear missiles in Turkey targeting the Soviet Union. It was only after that that Khrushchev put the missiles in Cuba. That was not something that just happened out of thin air. That was done in direct retribution to...

53:57 um us doing it first i don't remember that being all over the front page news and it's just like recently and that's the reason why i find this fascinating so we were supposed to all get panicked about a nuclear submarine coming in porting in cuba when we've been orchestrating since 2014 um ethnic cleansing in eastern ukraine

54:28 By killing a whole bunch of Russians. And then during that time, we build a whole bunch of CIA slash Gladio underground cells along the newly established Ukrainian border minus the Donbass region and use that to launch covert attacks into Russia.

54:56 That's all disclosed in the New York Times article. And then we're supposed to get fearful or think it's a bad thing that Russia sails a ship into a sovereign country's port that happens to be down the road from us. Well, I suggest you stop attacking Russia and maybe they won't have any need to port in Cuba. That's just my opinion. And it's also interesting that.

55:26 President Kennedy was responsible for negotiating the removal of those nuclear weapons, basically by taking our weapons out of Turkey. So there was a guy by the name Colonel Osperson, A-L-P-A-R-S-A-N, Turks.

56:00 that after World War II, Colonel Turks had been a contact person for the German Nazis in Turkey. He basically come to power in 1944 when he and a whole bunch of others were arrested for having participated in anti-communist demonstrations.

56:29 ring a bell, convinced of the theories of racial superiority in general and the superiority of Turks in particular, Colonel Turks, in many of his speeches, would quote Hitler's Mein Kampf. Following the war, he made contact with the CIA in 1948. And allegedly during this time, he was basically carrying out CIA orders to set up

57:00 their stay-behind network inside of Turkey. It was through this collaboration that Colonel Turks traveled extensively between the United States and Turkey and became intricately involved with the Pentagon and the CIA. He also, from 1955 to 58, which is the highlight of Eisenhower's setting up Operation Gladio throughout Europe,

57:30 served in Washington as the Turkish military mission head for NATO. And if you guys haven't read, I wrote a piece a while back about this. I had never even heard of it. That basically there was like this full-time committee that was set up out of NATO in Washington, D.C. that basically ran NATO from Washington, D.C.

58:01 This guy was the NATO, Colonel Turks, was the guy that set on that committee full time to run NATO missions out of Washington, D.C. And all of it had to do with the administering of Operation Gladio. Basically, even though the ACC and the CPC, those organizing bodies, physically met outside of NATO's headquarters.

58:31 initially in Paris and then in Belgium, the day-to-day job for this was done in Washington, D.C. I'm sure that wouldn't surprise anybody. So I found it interesting when I went back over and read the fact that he was the Turkish representative to this organization in Washington, D.C., because it just verifies everything else that we found out afterwards.

58:59 So Turkey joined NATO in 1952. Colonel Turks had already set up the Gladio program, and it was initially labeled Tactical Mobilization Group, or in Turkish terms, STK. It was located in the building of CIA in Turkey.

59:29 The Tactical Mobilization Group was restructured later in 1965 and named Special Warfare Department and basically became the hub of all Turkish secret soldiers having to do with Operation Gladio. Due to the exposure in 1990 of Gladio within Italy,

59:57 The Special Warfare Department changed its name again because, you know, that's what they do. They don't ever go away. Just like School of Americas, they just changed their name. This time it became Special Forces Command. Under the headline of the origins of Gladio and Turkey, a Paris-based paper called Intelligence Newsletter.

1:00:21 reported in 1990 that they had obtained one of the recently declassified strategy documents from Western Europe in the creation of stay-behind or Gladio networks. It was titled the U.S. Army General Staff's Top Secret March 28, 1949 Overall Strategic Concepts. In an accompanying document,

1:00:51 A specific reference was made to Turkey highlighting how the pan-Turkish movement could be exploited strategically by the U.S. Turkey, according to the Pentagon document, is, quote, extremely favorable territory for the establishment of both guerrilla units and secret army reserves. Politically, the Turks are strongly nationalistic and anti-communist, and the presence of the Red Army in Turks

1:01:21 will cause national feelings to run high, unquote. It also said that Turkish secret army called Counter Guerrilla was run by the Special Warfare Department and consisted of five branches. And these are important. One was called the training group, which included how to interrogate people, including torture and psychological warfare.

1:01:50 Number two was the special unit, which specialized in all of their anti-Kurd operations. Number three, that was basically the genocide network, but they called it special. Number three was called special section. So the other one was special unit. This is special section. It dealt with all operations in Cyprus. Then there was a coordination group.

1:02:21 which was called the Third Bureau. And then they had an administrative section. And it's interesting because when all of this was being set up, you had the issues going on post-World War II in Cyprus in that you had basically an archbishop and it was kind of a divided island where Greece was in control of one.

1:02:48 Turkey was in control of the other part of Cyprus. That's why it keeps coming up. You also had eventually the stay behind unit gets oversaw more along the lines of their military apparatus and their intelligence apparatus. So it was also.

1:03:21 Turkish agents from their stay-behind unit in 1955 that threw a bomb into a house in Greece that was used as a museum and was basically a monument to Mustafa Kemal, the museum was, and it was highly revered with all Turkish people.

1:03:51 And the Turkish stay behind basically did that as a false flag in order to create a strategy of tension because they immediately blamed the Greeks for doing it. And then there's all kinds of chaos in Istanbul and Izmir. They killed 16 Greek citizens.

1:04:19 or ethnic Greeks that lived in Turkey. They wounded another 32. There was over 200 Greek women that were raped as a result of all of the chaos. But this is what that organization did. There was several throughout Turkey's time after post-World War II in which there were multiple coups ran.

1:04:50 by these people. Probably one of the most gross ones was in May of 1960, Turkey suffered a military coup where 38 officers, including a CIA liaison officer, that Colonel Turks guy, overthrew the government of Aden.

1:05:21 A-D-N-A-N, Menderes, M-E-N-D-E-R-E-S. And you had one of the secret warfare guys select, the same guy we were talking about earlier, would later claim that they basically were responsible for it. And that before...

1:05:50 being promoted to the top secret special warfare department that Turkish military generals as a rule had to officially retire in order to lessen their visibility. But basically it says they were responsible for at least three of the military coups. And so basically this is NATO being in charge.

1:06:20 of who's sitting at the top of the Turkish government. And when they gave the signal, they'd just go in and coup it. So Turks oversaw the process in which the Democrat structures inside of Turkey was destroyed. They arrested Prime Minister Aydin Medeiros, and he was killed with four other political leaders.

1:06:49 While 449 senior politicians and magistrates were arrested and sentenced to long prison sentences. They weren't allowed to walk away, by the way. And 38 officers who had carried out the coup started to disagree on where to go from there. And so Colonel Turks, who was eager to basically be in charge in an authoritarian regime.

1:07:18 The majority of the coup officers were convinced that a new constitution had to be passed and basically wanted elections to occur. But Colonel Turks, due to his radical beliefs, was effectively removed from the political scene by being sent to be a military attache to the Turkish embassy in India. The remaining officers wrote a new constitution.

1:07:46 And blah, blah, blah. And so they just keep circling these people through the government until they fall out of favor with NATO. And then they just basically recycle it. So that's kind of the jest of Turkey's Gladio program. It is through Turkey, I will add this, that...

1:08:16 A Army field manual that they initially said didn't exist, but then admitted to knowing about an appendix to the thing that doesn't exist. And that was called Field Manual 30-31. That resurfaces in multiple countries because it kept getting referenced as being used on places like School of Americas on how to create.

1:08:44 torture and all kinds of different parts of what we have learned to be part of the Operation Gladio networks. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. That's your daddy. Stop it. So anyway, that field manual was kind of like the smoking gun at the end of the story that the.

1:09:08 Not only just the U.S. military, but the CIA had been behind much of Operation Gladio because in many different testimonies of people that were involved in Operation Gladio, that field manual and the first time it ever gets mentioned was in Turkey. So I definitely wanted to add that as well. But it resurfaces multiple times. America as a training manual on how to interrogate.

1:09:55 Turkey answers. Happened. We'll also see the reemergence of.

1:10:14 the international syndicates company ITT, which I did want to mention because specifically you remember that in Chile where ITT paid money to President Nixon to get the CIA to go kill President Allende, right? So in Turkey, you had a CIA agent, Haram, H-I-

1:10:43 R-A-M, Abbas, A-B-A-S, it says, who was closer than his own brother to the CIA station chief, Claridge, C-L-A-R-R-I-D-G-E, who comes into many of these coups, too, and that they were involved in an infamous May Day massacre in Turkey that happened in

1:11:13 1976 or and Hotel International is where you remember how like in Ukraine, we talked about right sector basically renting out the entire hotel and setting up shop. And that's how we they got access to the tops of the buildings. Well, this is very much similar to that. And remember, they're not.

1:11:56 original. So basically they kind of use IT. So you have again ITT coming up in yet another coup in helping that occur. So I wanted to add that. And they have all kinds of, so Turkey's big aha moment was they had a wreck.

1:12:33 where the big drug guy and those assassins were all in a car, that one of the guys gets killed in the car wreck, and basically they all get found out because it had the country's largest drug dealer in the car with the guy that's in charge of their Gladio program in the car, a government administrator in the car. It's almost like...

1:13:11 Yeah, I think what we'll do in the future when that happens, if you guys drop out, I'm not going to bring you back as a co-host. I'm just going to bring you back as a speaker because something about that breaks the system. I don't know what it is, but I don't like it. It's very frustrating. Agreed. So.

1:13:44 Did either you or Cousin It want to add anything to the general thing before we take questions from everybody? No, Cousin It knows more about it than I do, or I feel like that. But I know when we tracked down all the... Wasn't it on Crocus that we found all the...

1:14:17 People throw respect to Turkey? Yes. Yeah, that's what I was just mentioning at the end. I don't know how much people got to hear of the last part of it, but the training site for the preparation to go on their recon, the reconnaissance mission to check out the crocus, began in Turkey.

1:14:45 And when they went on the recon and came back to put the finishing touches on their training, that was also done in Turkey. And they launched from Turkey into Ukraine and then into Moscow for their assassination domestic terror event in Russia. And so we find.

1:15:14 that Turkey, especially as it relates to Tajikistan nationals, has evidently been very accommodating to Tajikistan, where they have a very high unemployment rate, a lot of corruption.

1:15:39 recruiting those people over to Turkey and training them basically as part of their Gladio network. And so that's the reason why you're seeing many Tajikistan nationals committing international terror events, because they're being trained, at least they were being trained, in Turkey to launch some of those operations.

1:16:09 Cousinette, did you have anything else you wanted to add before we open it up for questions? No, I just want to know how y'all broke it. I mean, all I did was go and empty my dogs. I come back and you screwed it all up. I don't know. That would be me. I know what the bricks is, though. Bridget and her fat fingers ban me from the place. Well, I don't know, but.

1:16:39 It's very, very frustrating. I do know that. Okay. Miles, go ahead with your question. It's not a question. When I came in here, there was a whole bunch of bots and trolls at the bottom. I've been doing this for so many years and I can't prove that they shut you down, but there was no volume. There was no audio. And I've just experienced this so many times.

1:17:10 because of the subject matter. So I know it's frustrating, Colonel, but it's just part of the battle that we go through every day. Hey, Miles, if you notice that they're there, right? Because Bridget and I are usually busy posting links. If you notice that they're there, can you just send us a direct message? And we'll just block their asses. Yeah, please do.

1:17:37 You know, because there's no need for it. I don't notice who's at the bottom in there because, you know, we're busy putting together everything for the colonel. But, yeah, I didn't do anything. All I had to do was, you know, and all of a sudden it was gone. Yeah, look, guys, I understand. We would be in the middle of a show on Periscope and it's beep, we're gone. It just gets shut down.

1:18:05 Because, you know, what we were talking about. Well, bringing truth tends to do that, right? They don't like that. When you're over the target, you get flack. That's absolutely right. Go ahead, SR71. Yeah, I noticed something else. It seems that all the posts were put out there have disappeared as well. But I do have a question.

1:18:37 You said, or if I understood correctly, at the beginning of all this, there was a motive to convert ethnic groups into specific religions, if I understood correctly. And now that is no longer the case. So my question really out of all of this, was that ever the case between the religions?

1:19:02 No, I don't recall ever saying that anybody was trying to. I said all of the religions were infiltrated. I never said anybody was trying to convert anybody to anything because I don't know that to be the case then or now. But all of the religions have been infiltrated to some extent.

1:19:28 whether it was the Zionist movement within the Jewish community or the Opus Dei. What's that thing called? Opus Dei? Opus Dei. In the Catholic, I mean, that's a secret order. The Knights of Malta, while most of those people are known, not all of them are known, there are many. The whole P2 infiltration of the Vatican.

1:19:57 So that's the problem of why in talking about this subject, we have to be very clear and why I use the term international syndicate. Because you could, I mean, we've just learned recently about the pedophilia issue of the Southern Baptist. Does that mean everybody in the Southern Baptist religions are pedophiles? No. The Catholic Church had that issue. Does that mean everybody's a pedophile? No.

1:20:26 The Vatican money laundered for the CIA and this whole Operation Gladio. Does that mean everybody at the Vatican's bad? No. So many of the people that are involved in these institutions have no clue what's going on inside those institutions because it is.

1:20:45 on an as-needed basis that people are read into these programs and they operate with impunity based on the mission of the overall organization inside of it. And it's the same thing with the CIA. Where better to hide a CIA within a CIA than you're going to have corruption. You're banding again. You're banding again. I know. A phone call came in.

1:21:17 If you're going to have a bad organization, the best place to put a bad organization is in a good one. And the same thing with pedophilia. The best place to put a pedophilic organization is inside a children's organization because everybody loves children. So they have literally infiltrated everything.

1:21:41 And that's the reason why it has taken so long to be able to track all the tentacles of this octopus and be able to cut all of the heads off of the hydra because you can't leave any part of it. It's like a cancer. Go ahead, Benjamin. Oh, that was great, Colonel. There was so much good information. Wow.

1:22:09 Like with the pedophilia thing, I look at that as like a virus. You know, like I don't know if people have watched the videos where they're having these parades over on the West Coast and you got naked men out there and they're doing their thing. And, you know, you got children out there. It's like that's not something children need to be seeing. That's not something children need to be knowing about. That's a virus that needs to be back in your home, like behind closed doors. That's nobody else's business. You know, these ideologies that, you know.

1:22:38 Your sexual orientation is the greatest thing about you, and that's what you have to identify as is just ridiculous. And when I look at Turkey, that's like the edge of the border as far as influence that NATO has. That's the tip of the spear. That's one way of getting somebody else to do your dirty work for you, and that's exactly what they've done with this international syndicate. One thing I really love to stress is,

1:23:08 Get the colonel and her team out there. Push them out there. Get more people to see them and their message. Because these are the types of things that once people are able to see them, they're able to recognize them in real time operations happening today. Amen. Amen. Go ahead, Bridget. And just to clarify, a lot of these organizations, including Catholic, Baptist, Mormons.

1:23:39 All of these organizations, including all the splinter groups like the Latter Day Saints and so on, like the Seventh Day Adventists, all of them have been infiltrated. And it was not recent development. This has been going on and an intentional intervention for a reason, because they want to attack the very heart of what made us a country.

1:24:09 Because if they could not change our Constitution, they can change what it is based on. And also, they didn't, just like the schools and just like the colleges, have been infiltrated. And within these organizations, like the Baptist schools, the Baptist colleges, the Methodist colleges, the Methodist organization, and it's also the very top level.

1:24:38 Again, that does not mean that all of these nationwide are bad, just like the Catholic Church. It does not mean that all of it is bad. And rooting out the individuals and putting the ones that are in the higher levels under the utmost scrutiny for their background. In so many cases, these people are...

1:25:05 repeat offenders. These are not somebody who just one day suddenly decides to become a pedophile. These are people who have been doing it and have been accused of it many times. And we'll say corrupt prosecutors, corrupt judges have allowed them to walk away. And what do they do? Start up another organization with the same group of people. Sometimes they might leave the country.

1:25:33 and go to another country and start up another organization. And this is where these people need to be, literally, they need to be put in prison for extremely long sentences. They need to be called out for what they're doing. And that's why they're trying to ban us, why these spaces are going down and under.

1:26:00 And all that. That's why this is happening. And it is an intentional attack on trying to stop the truth from coming out. I have a site where you can buy millstones on sale. We're going to need a lot of millstones. Yep. All right. Yep. Zama, go ahead. Hi. Yeah. Colonel, can you hear me? Yes.

1:26:30 Great. Yeah. Thanks for this great, fantastic space again. I had maybe just a comment on the Safari Club that you had mentioned in the last space report crashed. And then maybe just a wider question on the sort of definitional parameters when we're talking about Operation Gladio. Sure. Yeah, great. I mean, so the Safari Club is something that I've looked into quite a bit, and I think it's a very interesting pivotal moment.

1:26:57 when we're looking at covert operations, because it comes about, you know, in 70, late 70, 76, I think, on the back of Watergate and the church committee hearings. And what you have there is really, it looks to me and through a number of other sort of sources I've looked into, how you have the split from the sort of traditional intelligence kind of communities and if you want overt and covert operations into

1:27:27 that were now basically shadow creations or more private. And in fact, I think it was Prince Turkey who was one of the Saudi implicated in the Safari Club, who was on record saying that the American intel community was so tied up with all the hearings after Watergate.

1:27:55 that they literally couldn't do anything. So that was the sort of impetus to create this sort of loose coalition of intel agencies, including the Saudis, including the French, including the Israelis and Moroccans and a few others, Egyptians especially, to basically carry out, continue to carry out covert operations and especially anti-communist ones in Africa, right? That's the sort of the alleged, the official story around Safari Club.

1:28:23 Interestingly, I think as a caveat, there's no mention of the British, which I think is very much involved there, especially if you look into the background of what the Safari Club are aware of, from Kenya's role in Africa's covert operations and the British sphere of influence. But I'll leave that aside. I think what's very interesting about there is that you have, and this is where I'm maybe moving more into my question about Gladio, is how suddenly you have the emergence of,

1:28:53 far more unaccountable intel operations that are certainly more private in the way that they go around their financing. And I mean, we can look into the Iran-Contra deal and all of that and the sort of implications of criminality and how the organization's involved with that sort of lack of traditional oversight, if you want. And one maybe sticking out factor for that is

1:29:23 The financing source of the Safari Club is the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, right? The BCCI.

1:29:33 Featured prominently in all of these spaces, but yes, go ahead. Yeah, no, I mean, absolutely massive, massive red flag. And I think when we look into this, I mean, follow the money has to be one of these major factors. And back, you know, PCCI just comes up time and time and time again. Not to mention that one of the least sort of, and it's sort of, it kind of cashed at the bottom of the Wikipedia, which I think is severely edited on the Safari Club.

1:30:02 its role in financing the early Mujahideen anti-Soviet in Afghanistan. And interestingly enough, who was another massive financier of those operations was a little known man called Osama bin Laden and his links to BCCI. I've put an article in...

1:30:28 in The Nest that came out in September 26, 2001, where there was the Senate Finance Committee hearing on money laundering on the back of 9-11 that literally pointed out the fraud ridden by then Bank of Credit and Commerce International and its links with Osama bin Laden. So I think this is a very interesting link for me because

1:30:54 I've been following your spaces for some time. I think they're fantastic. I think you're doing this amazing job of really talking about this unspoken history. I think a history that is really not received the right amount of attention. But again, my understanding of Operation Gladio kind of goes into a very narrow definition of what was happening, especially in the sort of strategy of tension post-World War II.

1:31:24 sort of European sphere kind of influence. And I think it's very interesting how you are sort of broadening that into looking at how we really are discussing a much more broader phenomenon of false flag operations and covert terrorism that goes well and beyond those sort of earlier European operations, in which when we traditionally look at Operation Gladio, well, Italy, Belgium,

1:31:53 So Portugal. So that is kind of where I started, obviously, with Ganser's book and Paul Williams book. But when I take that paradigm of it being and what I did when I was initially looking at all of that and I was writing, I did this like spreadsheet of who all the players were, who because obviously I'm military.

1:32:22 I know how operations work. We have trainers. We have plans. We have sponsors. We have all of this stuff. And so I basically did a wiring diagram of how the operation Gladio that was portrayed in both Ganser's book and Paul Williams book. Right. But but when I looked when I.

1:32:48 When we stumbled across Otto Skorzeny as the trainer that was set up by the United States Air Force via base building in Spain, contracts that were overpriced in order to pay him on the side, I'm like, shit, this is bigger than...

1:33:09 Europe, because I knew from my own reading and research that Otto Skorzeny had been in a lot of different things and had worked for Mossad. So I'm like, well, maybe we ought to look at some of these other things. Well, I had already read two years ago, Whitney Webb's book. And in Whitney Webb's book.

1:33:28 She talked about this, and obviously Paul Helliwell was mentioned repeatedly as the guy who came up with watching Chiang Kai-shek as the funding of these operations, like his war machine was funded through the sale of drugs.

1:33:44 Then you just that's another step. Well, if they're doing this through the sale of drugs, that means all of these military operations has been to secure drug fields. And then you start looking around that Vietnam. You look at Afghanistan. None of those are in Europe.

1:34:00 Well, how did they do all of those? Well, son of a bitch, it's the same CIA people that started off in Italy at the CIA desk at the Vatican and in Rome and the same ambassadors, the same ambassadors that were all over Europe while we were setting up. And oh, my God, then you go to Eisenhower. Eisenhower was the NATO commander initially that then got elected president. And the entire time he was president.

1:34:27 He was setting up all these organizations. And then you start looking around how many people were couped under Eisenhower. Well, then that takes you to Lumumba. And not only do we find that we killed Lumumba, but who organized that? Otto Skorzeny. Right.

1:34:42 Then you start following the Nazis and all of the Nazis went to South America and you go down there and oh, my God, there's Operation Condor and all of the same CIA people, all of the same ambassadors, all of the same people that had just left the CIA station chiefs that had just left Europe are all down in South America now. So it's just one region after another region. And it just started turning into a snowball. Now, I tell everybody at the beginning.

1:35:11 There are some people that have a problem using Operation Gladio in its generic form and not specifically to its Italian form. But it is a recognized operational concept of not just the strategy of tensions, but the stay behind unit networks in general. And basically, that was the concept that was used in all of these different locations. Did you want to say something?

1:35:43 Yeah, no, no. Thanks for that. That's a great clarification. And I'm glad you made that distinction because I think it's really important when discussing the sort of wider, broader use of strategy of tension, stay behind units further into the kind of post 70s era, especially. And I'm glad you mentioned Skorzeny because, again, winding back to the Safari Club, I think it was it was Ted Shackley.

1:36:12 who was pivotal to reforging ties with the Mossad in the wake of the 1956 and sorry, I think the 70 war. And after the sort of Watergate scandal, there was this kind of like retraction of like all these other broader alliances. And Shackley was very pivotal in reaching out again and saying, hey, we're we're still on the same side here.

1:36:40 basically. And I think this is very interesting. And I wonder, maybe just the last question, where do you think in terms of these agencies sort of as multi-operative units? Because I think whenever anyone's doing research into these topics,

1:36:58 it often tends to be this kind of all or nothing, like, oh, it was all the CIA. Oh, it was all the Mossad. Oh, it was all the, you know. And I think what we're seeing post sort of 70s and the kind of strategy of tension that I think has been all over the war on terror is very much multi-operational fronts. And I think the more we understand that, the better. So if you go back to the very beginnings of this entire thing, like in the late 1800s, you find out that

1:37:29 Most of the early 1900s was spent setting up boogeymen like the communists, the fascists, the whatever. And so in order to make the strategy of tension work, you have to have a boogeyman. And so oftentimes what I have found is when the fall of the Soviet Union happened, they had not.

1:37:55 been able to because they had already broken the ice in the 70s with China. Right. So they see Russia in general, the Soviet Union kind of destabilizing. They're going to lose their boogeyman. So hurry, let's get into China so we can create a new boogeyman. We'll set up Taiwan to be kind of the offset pinprick because, you know, that's we got to have that as well. Something to poke the bear with. And then.

1:38:22 You see, that didn't pan out quite quick enough to make them the boogeyman. So we had to have a fill in between the fall of the Soviet Union in the late 90s with the Middle East. And so we're going to use, as you just mentioned, bin Laden and his lot and create this Islamic boogeyman to fill in until we can go back, which we're transitioning to, to the Soviet Union slash Russia.

1:38:51 um, boogeyman, but their, their game only works if they have a boogeyman to blame. And I see that, but to your point about it's again, it's not all of the CIA. It's not all of the Mossad. There are people that are in there. There, there are, um, there, there is a.

1:39:13 The best way to explain this is in the 70s, just as you mentioned, with the church committee and all of that other stuff, there was a lot of oversight. So basically, the CIA set up a thing called the Enterprise. And the Enterprise was set up in order to privatize much of what the CIA did in a way that they could still exert, they classify them as agents or as assets, not agents.

1:39:43 And so they can still protect all of their work under the guise of national security, but they're not paid civilians on a staff within the CIA. So there's plausible deniability at the same time. So that was like the best setup ever. And so when Jimmy Carter came in and fired like a thousand CIA agents, all they did was they embedded them in the FBI. They embedded them in the DEA. They embedded them in the ATF.

1:40:09 And there are cells still to this day that are actual CIA agents. They're in the military dressed up as general officers. They're not whatever we think they are. They are 100 percent CIA. And they do that through a whole bunch of different mechanisms. But that is basically and Mossad, another great example, the IDF.

1:40:38 didn't want to house all of what was going to be used 30 years ago in the IDF. So they came up with a brilliant program. About the same time as the CIA did theirs, they started setting up front companies that appear to be their own separate company, but they're all ran by their 8200 unit personnel that were all trained.

1:41:06 inside the idea to do exactly what's doing today and make it look like it's a private organization, just like Facebook and Google and all those other things. None of that shit was set up by some guy in a garage. That was all set up by this military industrial complex or international syndicate. It is ran by them today. They are the modern day front companies like

1:41:30 United Fruit, ITT, and all of those things of the past. What's crazy to me is we read historically about these things and we go, oh, well, you know, ITT doesn't exist anymore or the Resort International, you know, Nugent Hand, they all got found out. Well, they're still them today. Who among us are them today? Well, when we switched from everything being in PR firms.

1:41:56 um to this social media mecca well hello they became the twitter um 1.0 the facebooks the google and you know bill gates and all those other things it's all the same crap just in a new package cousin it go ahead did you have something cousin it bridget did you have something i saw both your hands up now they're gone

1:42:28 No, you covered exactly what I was just going to say. And that is that in a lot of these organizations, too, that like when we were going through the World Wildlife Foundation and the Safari Club and the UNESCO and all these others, they actually create an organization. Then they create another organization. Then they create another organization subsets. And they end up giving these organizations.

1:42:56 um the awards so they are giving themselves awards they are sitting on both the parent and the subsidiary organization they control all of those organizations so that if one of them falls they it's not that big a deal they just make a new name and create a new organization yeah go ahead benjamin uh bridget said something earlier that triggered something i want to highlight you know just the importance of

1:43:30 you know, today's times. If you take a look at the schools and the importance of that position with Department of Education and why we need to get rid of it, you know, they no longer teach cursive writing in school anymore. And the reason for that, these plans are laid out decades in advance. The reason they don't want your children to know cursive writing, because then at that point, they can tell you what it says.

1:43:56 And then they can change it and subvert it. There's reasons why they didn't want to teach, translate.

1:44:05 what's it called, Latin into English when they were translating the Bible and such. That's how you hide things. Life and information and comms, it's all about angles. Everything is about angles and degrees. And if they can cut those angles out to where you can't see them, that's why they set up these multinational corporations, a bunch of shell games. It's too much for one person to track. It's all hidden in plain sight.

1:44:34 I agree, Benjamin. Sally, go ahead. I love it when you go longer. I was working and I was like, oh, please don't be done by the time I'm done working. Anyway, guys, if you are enjoying this space, please make sure that you like and repost. There's currently 32 people in here and only 11 people have.

1:44:55 reposted this space so we've got to get the word out and we it doesn't take that much time to click on that little purple pill open it up and you can either repost or quote post and then other people can see it even if they've missed the live portion of it they can go back and re-listen to it because this information is valuable make sure you're following colonel towner bridget cousin it and any other speaker that you like on this panel that you resonate with that's always a great idea make sure notifications are turned on for the colonel because

1:45:24 You know, a lot of times you'll miss what she puts out there because, yeah, censorship is a real thing. So thank you, as always, for this great and amazing presentation, guys. I hope you're all having a wonderful day. Thank you, Sally. Go ahead, Bridget. Yeah, don't follow me, man. I'm antisocial. Go ahead, Bridget. Okay, the only one last thing I wanted to add to Benjamin's point, and he'll really appreciate this.

1:45:56 Marie had brought something up in a different space the other day, and I did research on it, and I was just blown away. And you guys send us, or through the kernel, you know, a lot of different tips when you see things that you're starting to get your Gladio glasses on and you're starting to see things. Do that, because it helps us. We are still actively, you know, a lot of these.

1:46:28 Organizations like we're just saying have, you know, they shut them down. They reopen them with the same people. They reopen them with the same tactics. And we're just three people trying to find, trying to keep our hands on this giant ant farm. And when you guys do that, it tips us off and we can go research it and find out if there is links. One of the other things, anyway, that was brought up, that Marie brought up.

1:46:55 that I was just flabbergasted on in public schools, which public schools are run by the government. You know, public schools were intended to be run by the people. And public schools meals are provided by the Department of Defense. She had mentioned it in another thing. I looked it up. I looked it up several times because I still can't wrap my head around that.

1:47:25 Why on earth is the Department of Defense providing the meals to our children? Just a thought. Okay. Go ahead, Sally. One last thing. Everyone that's in here.

1:47:45 Start researching Dignity Index. Anytime I post about it, I get de-boosted for at least three or four days. So on your own computers, get in there. It's the next step for bringing in the social credit system. They're implementing it in Utah and I've done videos on it. However, anytime I bring it up in a post, magically my numbers are cut in half, which tells me that's something that we need to be paying attention to, not just in my state, but they're doing a pilot here, which means

1:48:15 They're going to try to rule it out to everywhere else. So just FYI. Yeah, that's a big deal. I wasn't laughing at Sally. I was laughing because, yeah, she's going to get de-boosted. So everybody else is going to get boosted and it won't matter. We'll all be equal. But that whole castle, the C-A-S-E-L, was founded by one of the Rockefeller sisters.

1:48:42 And the whole thing was funded, which is the social emotional learning. That's all a big deal. We talked about that a little while ago. There's a lot of resources out on Moms for Liberty website about that. It's a dastardly deed. They're trying to do the education exactly what they did to medical care. Go ahead, Zamba. Yeah, thanks again. I just want to heads up. I put in the chat because I'm sure a lot of other links got lost in the last space.

1:49:11 A CNN article linking the bin Laden to the BCCI came out in CNN. And what's interesting about that is it was Senator John Kerry who conducted the investigation into BCCI. So, again, when looking into with gladioglasses, which I do love the phrase, I think it's often important to look at cover ups and how.

1:49:35 often the investigations are compromised by people like John Kerry, who we all know who went to Yale with. And essentially, especially when he says to that Senate committee saying, we didn't know that bin Laden had any links to international terrorism before 9-11. And it was like, really? You know, it's like this guy's been on the radar for like...

1:50:00 10 or 20 years within the intelligence community already. And anyway, so it's a very interesting to look behind the sort of the shades that get put on to a lot of the investigation hearings and the such after these things eventually come out. So I went to U.S. Central Command on July of 99 in my one week orientation into the AOR.

1:50:28 where you're assigned all your reading, the background material on the governments, the leaders of the governments, their economic system, their political system, because we study all three elements of their power. When you go to a combatant command, you have to be familiar with the area of responsibility. So you spend a week in basically like an indoctrination into

1:50:57 the AOR. And you study the three pillars of power of every country. And they will have books that they recommend you read because every one of those COCOMs have like an institute, a learning institute that you can learn as much or as little about. And if you want to get ahead, you can talk conversantly at staff meetings in the AOR. And it's impressive.

1:51:23 So, of course, being an overachiever, I wanted to read everything that was there. And the single most talked about person in 1999 was Osama bin Laden in the intro for one week. The books that we were assigned to read in 1999, not 01, not 2000, in 1999, had to do with him.

1:51:53 I find it ridiculous, as you just pointed out, that anybody could say that that was a surprise. As a matter of fact, the second airplane hit the tower on September 11th. And by two o'clock, everybody in the building was already on the same sheet of music that that was a bin Laden operation. So there was no mystery out there.

1:52:23 of now we know who they were going to accuse of doing it um there was no mystery two years before that when i got there of what was going on so yeah um but i am going to now that you mentioned that and i did do a write-up on the carry commission um in two different research projects that i've done

1:52:46 But I do think now's the perfect time to go back to the Safari Club and tie, now that people are more familiar with hearing about BCCI and Carrie and those separate projects, to tie them all to Safari. So I'll try to get that done this afternoon. I've already got most of it all written. It's just a matter of pasting it into a format.

1:53:10 that's specific to the safari club because i do think presenting it that way the way we've just talked about it is going to be eye-opening as well so thank you for that idea zama i appreciate it yeah colonel that's great um and thank you that's that's that's amazing that those links um i was curious if you're uh familiar with the work of of michael shore um who was uh uh s c h e u e r

1:53:39 He was in charge of the bin Laden desk at the CIA through the late 90s, I believe. And I think he's one of the lesser spoken of really whistleblowers when it comes to Senate committee hearings and Congress, really speaking out against not only the practices of his own agency, but how the sort of government has been involved in double dealings.

1:54:08 And I'm not totally familiar with all his works. I got hold of one of his books, which is called Imperial Hubris, Why the West is Losing the War on Terror. I think that came out in 2005. But he's since been very active. If you look on YouTube, there's one of his supposed grillings in Congress back in 2004, where he just calls out, well, basically the Israel lobby back then.

1:54:36 the unspoken of collusion that was happening with foreign intel services behind the backs of the sort of more overt work that he was involved in. And so, you know, again, I think it's very interesting when we're looking at the sort of double, triple dealings that's going on and how that's been not only happening against the sort of...

1:54:57 the so-called pillars of government that you get your training in, but behind the even more official intel services when they're in charge of actually investigating and keeping tabs on, you know, on high profile terror suspects, et cetera. But anyway, that's just a bit of a diversion, but he's very interesting. I think one of the less spoken of sort of whistleblowers in this field, more on sort of war on terror era.

1:55:26 So I have his book. I've never read it. The Imperial Hubris. Only I came across that book when I was doing when I first finished the. Well, when I first finished, like the first five books, I read the NATO Secret Army by Ganser, Richard Cottell's NATO Gladio, NATO's dagger at the heart of. And then I read.

1:55:55 Well, I first read Paul Williams and like two other books, Overthrow and another one. I started searching for books with the word imperial and imperialism in it. And that's where I found Connie Chung's book, The Empire That The Black Sun Never Sits On or whatever. We did a book review on my Rumble channel on that.

1:56:21 I bought that book. It's sitting on my shelf. I've never read it. So now you're going to make me read it because I do find it fascinating to read people that were on the inside of the operation. I didn't know anything about the book. It just sounded interesting to me. But I do like listening because what I do find out.

1:56:43 A lot of them do kind of limited hangout because of their security, you know, their NDAs that they have to sign. So they'll only tell you so much. But I do find fascinating the parts that they do tell you and the way in which they tell you. So I will definitely move that up to the top of my pile because I got about 11 books that I need to get read.

1:57:07 Awesome, Colonel. Yeah, you know, it's a massive rabbit hole. I think he opened my eyes on a lot of things. I've just, FYI, popped in the chat his appearance in the Congress hearing where he calls bullshit on basically a lot of the post 9-11 so-called hearings that were going on and basically calls out what was happening, you know, and he was called up as an expert as in charge of the CIA bin Laden unit.

1:57:35 So I think it's very revealing. And I think he's he's he's a very important sort of, yeah, I think voice to to to listen to. And he does a podcast now called The Two Mics. Very interesting if you're following him at all. So here's just from his wiki page, which I find fascinating because this is exactly where we're going. He refers to the core of the conflict between the U.S. and Islamic forces.

1:58:04 who in places such as Kashmir, Xinhai, and Chechnya are struggling not just for independence, but against institutionalized barbarism. And I find that fascinating because when we did a deep dive on Chechnya, it was very clear.

1:58:23 that the al-Qaeda and Mujahideen that had been funded by the CIA was implanted into Chechnya, much as they were into Bosnia, to create the strategy of tension.

1:58:34 that then flared up where they can do regime change. And that's what Chechnya was all about. Chechnya was not only to get at Russia, but that entire conflict was orchestrated while the CIA and the industrial powers rerouted the gas line that cut Russia out of the Baku oil fields in Azerbaijan.

1:59:01 because it had originally ran through Russia territory. And they were, the whole time the Chechnya thing was going on, they used that instability as a reason to move that pipeline, which feeds Europe, out of Russia. So again, it's the, and that's the part I think most people miss, because this part is so fascinating, is you have to keep zooming out, understanding that.

1:59:28 This is not all arbitrarily happening. This is happening at the behest of an international syndicate who does regime change and strategy of tension in order to enrich themselves. So having said that, we're at our two hour point. So Bridget, Cousin It, do you guys have any last words before we sign off? See you tomorrow, guys. Yeah.

2:00:04 So thank you for your patience. Sorry about the disconnect. That's just like crazy shit as far as them dumping us out of our own space. But whatever. I will hopefully be able to get something out on the Safari Club just to kind of fill in the loose ends. And Zama, thank you very much for your contributions today. I appreciate it, as well as everybody else's. And we will be back tomorrow at noon.
