0:00 Okay. Good afternoon, everybody. I'm waiting for Bridget and Cousin It to get in here. Hopefully we'll see them shortly. I just texted them the link. So I'm going to wait just a couple of minutes so we don't get ran over by bots.

0:35 They're very good at keeping those out. Also, if you guys wouldn't mind retweeting or reposting and inviting all of your followers to come on in. We may be on our own today. I did want to, for any of you that have been on X today.

1:06 You may have seen, you may have noticed a thread of, oh, there's Bridget, that I was involved in. And I want to talk about it for a second because this is critically important. When people talk about...

1:38 operation gladio and they talk from a position of they've done some research they know a little bit about it they may know a lot about it um and when you engage with them and you quickly find out they don't know near what they have portended to know

2:06 well, so-and-so told me or so-and-so's inside of this organization and they relayed that or whatever. It's all then become secondhand and they've not actually done the research themselves. So basically, you know right away that they are parroting information that they've gotten, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if they actually understand it. And when you provide for them a...

2:36 few things that is very, very important and they slough them off as, oh, that's semantics. No, we are in fifth generation warfare, information warfare. Words are the bullets. Words matter. They matter a lot. And you can then figure out within five posts.

3:05 You've basically kind of just disassembled their entire credibility, and they still don't know it. They're still going to actually try to argue with you that you're the one. And as a matter of fact, she called me an agent, which I thought was hilarious. I've spent the last year discrediting everything about the CIA, the FBI, Operation Gladio, revealing everything, and I'm the agent? Okay.

3:36 So, again, I do that because I think it's incredibly important for every one of you. It's kind of like the parental modeling, the behavior that you want others to engage in. I do want you guys to confront people. I do want you people to take this information.

4:06 ecstatic at the fact that you have been doing it. I see you guys do that, especially when you put me on the thread. I just literally, I holler out to my husband, oh my gosh, listen to this. And I'm constantly reading things that you guys post to my sisters, my friends, because it's extremely satisfying and gratifying to me.

4:35 Um, that not that you trust me, that most of you have clicked on every link that we post. You read the stories yourself. You read the reasoning and the connections that we make from story to story and you get it, you understand it. And then you take that information and you share it with other people. And I just, I can't tell you.

5:02 Bridget and Tezzanet and I, we spend probably on average eight to 10 hours a day doing this for the last year. And I do think when some people say you've been doing it for a year and the guy that was here yesterday, strategy attention said, you know, I've been doing it for four years and that's great. I don't know how many hours a day it's doing this, but I do know how many hours a day I spend doing it. And I also know that.

5:31 Any time of the day that I call Cousinet or Bridget, they're in the middle of a dig. They're in the middle of preparing something for something that we have coming up. They're adding a new tab. Oh, my gosh. So, you guys, we have on Signal, which is how we keep track of all of our research, we probably have 30 tabs, 30 different folders of information. And every one of those folders probably have 50 links in them.

6:01 of information that we have found. Like we have one just preparing for spaces every day. And we have, if we have an African, not if, we have an African tab or a country tab for like Brazil or for Korea or whatever. When we have a country tab, when we're doing that,

6:23 space on that particular country, we take the tabs that we're using out of that folder, that country folder, and put them in the spaces folder. So we can just kind of go back through the spaces folder for every show we've done. And they're kind of in chronological order if we need to pull something up quickly. And Bridget is in charge of all of that. She's our organizer. And she has done an amazing job of

6:52 Not just creating the organization or the file cabinet in Signal, but dual posting and all of that stuff to make it the easiest she can when I'm writing an article or preparing a thread or whatever. And Cousin It. Cousin It keeps me straight on that, though. Cousin It's primary thing is to.

7:21 offer helpful suggestions and um she also does all of the foreign stuff early in the morning um she's on all of the other um countries websites getting information from the actual country itself and that's incredibly important when we're trying to triangulate the um

7:51 sure that the information that we have for you comes from, number one, credible sources, but number two, if there's disconnects, we dig a little deeper to find out and kind of connect the dots for everybody so that we give you information that you can use. Now, I gave her the co-host, so I'm going to also give her a speaker thing. I don't know. Yeah, I tried that too. She might be having glitches, you know, or maybe a weaker signal. I know she is getting...

8:20 back to normal, but they are, you know, they had some pretty severe damage down around them and they're still in major cleanup mode as well as, but they do have power now. Yay. Yeah, exactly. All right. So with that, we're going to get started. We're going to do kind of a broad brush today. That's going to combine a few countries and I'm going to focus on two articles. The first article.

8:50 kind of takes to the next level a conclusion. And it's funny because just in general research, I came across the multiple mentionings of drone bases, both initially unmanned or unarmed drones, and then them using the murder of U.S. special forces to demand.

9:18 their drone bases in these countries be upgraded to armed drones. And we kind of talked about that over the course of the last couple of sessions. But I found an article that actually kind of incorporates it all in and covers a couple of countries that we have not covered. So I wanted to bring this article to you because it puts a little bow on my hypothesis. And again, we're going to start the...

9:47 session by first looking at the map. And we're going to look at Ghana. We're going to look at Ivory Coast and Benin, B-E-N-I-N. And let me look these up or pull up my map. I already have it. All right. So we were yesterday in Liberia, which is the south.

10:18 southwest corner of the big bump out in western Africa. Again, we mentioned that these are former French colonies, and you go across over to the armpit of Africa. You start out with Liberia, then you have Ivory Coast, then you have Ghana, then you have Togo, and then you have Benin.

10:45 And then you run into Nigeria. And we have to talk about right north of Ghana is Burkina Faso, which is the one that we talked about. And also, we have to talk about Niger. Niger is just north of Nigeria. Niger goes all the way over to the coast of Burkina Faso. And it touches Benin, B-E-N-I-N.

11:17 So it also to the west touches Mali, M-A-L-I, and to the north, Algeria, Libya, to the east, Chad, and then back down to Nigeria in the south. So these countries all basically line up along what would be from Pensacola over to Panama City, if you were looking at.

11:46 That kind of horizontal southern border that we kind of compared to Florida yesterday. So that's important for understanding this article that this these people, this is all what used to be considered the French area, French colonies. So this article starts with a Wall Street Journal mention that talks about.

12:16 the Biden administration seeking to establish drone bases in Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Benin. And that was in discussion after the coup in Niger, which basically Niger, for those of you who are not keeping up, government got couped by a U.S.-trained person, which we're going to talk about in a couple of minutes.

12:46 And in doing so, they kicked the United States and their ambassador out of the country. And we had just spent $100 million of UNI's tax dollars or our grandkids' tax dollars, actually, because we don't have any. And we had spent that to put this drone base in Niger.

13:16 So now they're looking at putting multiple drone bases, you know, so those countries can all get couped as well. And we can throw more of our grandkids tax revenue out the window. In addition to the Wall Street Journal talking about this, Stars and Stripes magazine reported in December that the U.S. had cut its military force by 40 percent in the wake of the coup.

13:43 And for those of you who've been watching this, you know that that got it got us down to about a thousand people. And those thousand were the ones that Matt Gates was during congressional testimony talking about being stranded there because they wouldn't let resupply planes land from the Air Force to get them food and stuff like that because they wanted them gone. The coup.

14:10 in Niger was led by a special forces officer, Musa Salau Barmau, B-A-R-M-O-U. He was trained at our famous Fort Benning, Georgia, in the hemispheric blah, blah, blah school that used to be the School of Americas. He also was later sent

14:38 to the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., which I've been to, and that's crazy. The coup plotters characterized Niger's deposed president, and his name is Mohamed Bazoum, B-A-Z-O-U-M, as a corrupt pawn of France. They repudiated his support.

15:04 for the $110 million U.S. drone base in the middle of the desert, which has functioned as a hub for U.S. drone operations in West Africa. In other words, that's how they control everybody. In a December 7th letter to Congress, Biden administration said that there are 648 Americans left in Niger, this was back in December, down from the original 1,000.

15:35 The U.S. had been forced to end collaboration with Niger on its counterterrorism efforts in accordance with the rule, American rules that prohibited partnerships with military juntas. To make up for the potential, quote unquote, loss of Niger, the Biden administration had proposed basing drones at Ghana's air base within easy reach of Burkina Faso border.

16:06 And in Pericou, Benin, a town also close to Barquina Fossa, and at three potential locations in Ivory Coast. And keep in mind, the Ivory Coast is where the people go that the CIA wants to protect because the Ivory Coast is in bed with the CIA and France as well.

16:37 drone locations there is totally bizarre. The close placement of the bases to Burkina Faso also is very important from what we already learned when we talked about Burkina Faso. For nine months from September 02 to May of 2003, Burkina Faso was ruled by Captain Traore, T-R-A-O-R-E.

17:02 who invoked the legacy of Sankara. And remember, we talked about Sankara. Burkina Faso, socialist anti-imperialist president from 1983 to 87. That's Sankara. He was a pan-African ally of Omar Gaddafi.

17:28 Very well liked. Sankara is the one that they called the African Che Kavira because he wanted independence from the imperialist and he wanted all African countries to benefit from their own resources. And keep in mind, he's the guy that Spamley adopted Kampari and then Kampari plotted to kill Sankara. We've talked all about that. So Kampari, of course, we...

17:59 provided the data that his assassination of Samkara was with the assistance of the US and French intelligence services. The Wall Street Journal made it seem like the US was seeking to establish new drone bases outside of Niger because they really wanted to fight Islamic terrorism. However, we know for a fact that there's only Islamic terrorism there because of the US

18:31 And NATO's piping in all of their trained ISIS people in order to create the chaos so they can control these countries via coups or whatever so they can steal their resources. So basically they're saying that the Wall Street Journal is running cover for NATO and the CIA.

18:54 The article was written by Michael Phillips and it was subtitled Outpost in Ghana and Ivory Coast. Benin would aim to stem advance of Islamists. Phillips wrote that for years, American commandos and drones backstop French and local efforts to secure the countries that are now at the center of the world's most active Islamic insurgency. Well, it's only an active insurgency because of those people.

19:27 Since 2017, about 41,000 people have been killed in jihadist violence in Mali. And we just mentioned that Mali is one of the neighbors. Burkina Faso and Niger. The disorder has created an opening for Russia to deepen ties in the region. These latter comments parrot, and that's what the Washington Post is trying, or the, I'm sorry, the Wall Street Journal is trying to say.

19:53 Because, of course, it always has to be about Russia. And it's not about us importing the ISIS jihadists in order to create the chaos. It's, oh, my God, Russia is going to take advantage of it. So we have to do more, you know, create the chaos so that we can control the aftermath.

20:13 These latter comments parrot the view of the Biden administration officials in their goal to use the threat of Russia intervention to implement their own imperialistic efforts in Africa, just as their predecessors did during the Cold War. Phillips subscribes to several neocolonial assumptions, particularly in his expressed belief that only outside powers like U.S. and France can...

20:42 can possibly protect the Africans from the boogeyman called ISIS, when historically they have fueled this violence and instability while attempting to steal the region's national resources. Journalist Nick Turse has shown that terrorist attacks have spiked exponentially as a result of the growing U.S. presence in this region. And you're not going to believe these numbers.

21:09 Terst points out that in 2002 and 2003, before the creation of AFRICOM, which was set up in 2007, the State Department counted nine terrorist attacks in all of Africa, compared with 2,737 in 2022.

21:37 Burkina Faso, Mali, and Western Niger. Nine in the entire continent compared to 15 years later in just two and a half countries, 2,700. There was a total of 6,756 on the African continent compared to nine.

22:09 15 years earlier. That's a 75,000% increase in terrorist attacks when the U.S. and AFRICOM and NATO comes to town. That's stunning. Stephanie Saville, co-director of Cost of War Project at Brown University, told Torst that a major issue fueling conflict in Niger

22:37 are not military in nature. They stem from people's frustration with poverty, the legacy of colonialism, elite corruption, political and ethnic tensions and injustice. Yet rather than address these issues, the U.S. government has prioritized sending weapons, funding and training militaries to wage the war on terror.

22:55 One of the hugely negative consequences has been to empower the region's security forces at the expense of government institutions, and this is one factor in the slate of coups that we have seen recently, which again is exactly what they did in South America. It almost makes me wonder what this operation's name is, because I'm betting it has one, much like Condor. The violence in Mali specifically was triggered by the 2011 U.S.-NATO

23:25 invasion of Libya because Mali borders Libya, which resulted in the Tureg fighters, loyal to Omar Gaddafi, returning to Mali to take over the northern part of the country. Following a coup, Islamists began circumventing the Tureg's attempt to forge a new independent state by attempting to impose Islamic taxes on villagers coercively and was helped foment

23:54 conflict in the area. In 2020, and again in 2021, Colonel Goita, G-O-I-T-A, who worked with Special Operations U.S. Forces and attended the Joint Special Operations University in Florida at MacDill Air Force Base, overthrew Mali's civilian government, another U.S.-trained coup maker.

24:22 He continues to receive U.S. quote-unquote security assistance that has done little to improve life for Mullins. Terce wrote that the U.S. has poured billions of dollars in military assistance into Mali and its neighbors over roughly two decades, enabling human rights abuses by providing weapons and training to militaries that terrorize and murder civilians. The new drone bases, when completed,

24:52 will only accelerate this later phenomenon as the U.S. is sure to be offering the host governments yet more military and security assistance. One of the international syndicate members is a cotton tycoon by the name of Patrice Talon. He at least did speak out about unlawful killings.

25:24 Around the rigged elections in 2021. In Benin's. The Ivory Coast has. Has been headed. Since 2010. By an. And you just can't make this shit up. A former. International monetary fund. Person. By the name of. Alassani. Quatera. Or Otara. O-U.

25:54 A-T-T-A-R-A, who brutally suppressed demonstrations over rigged 2020 elections and has sustained his power further by inciting ethnic violence, which of course is their standard go-to. Ghana, meanwhile, is headed by the son of a national traitor who collaborated with the CIA in the 1966 overthrow of Krumah.

26:26 who we also talked about, the country's first post-independent leader who envisioned an independent and unified African continent that would resist Western neocolonialism through development of an all-African army and security force. Krumah would today be horrified that the leader of Ghana would allow the U.S. to establish a drone base on their soil.

26:52 He would also recognize that the official security pretext masks the underlying aim of keeping Africa weak, divided, and impoverished so that everybody else can exploit it. Now, that's basically that article. And in that article, there was a reference made to a counterpunch article.

27:16 And let me cut and paste this. I'm going to text this to you, Bridget, to post. Because this one is very important. And it's so important that they had taken it down. So I had to go to the archive.org to find it. And I want you guys to hear this. West Africa has, in recent years, seen a flurry of coup d'etats spanning across the continent.

27:47 France, the former colonial power of these nations, has been caught back-footed. President Macron was reportedly furious with French intel services for not predicting the Niger coup. The anti-Western sentiments accompanying these events, alongside the encroachment of the Wagner private

28:09 military company throughout the African continent remained a significant topic of conversation as the world reacts to reshaping Western African geopolitical scenes. This is the first of a series of articles that this author was going to write. Burkina Faso has had two coups since 2020. The first taking place 23rd

28:38 and 24th, January 2022, under the leadership of Paul Henry Damaiba, D-A-M-I-B-A. Lieutenant Colonel Damaiba was notably trained in Paris alongside the military officer, and I'm going to spell his last name, D-O-U-M.

29:08 B-O-U-Y-A, the military officer who seized power in Guinea the previous year. So they both went to the same school, as will be explored later. Both men also received training where? The U.S. Damiba acted in response to perceived inefficiencies and inadequate responses by the

29:37 government to the growing insurgencies towards the north of the country. For example, President Camorbre refused the military's request, including that of Damaba, to hire Wagner mercenaries to help fight against the spread of jihadist extremism. Camorbre had been democratically elected.

30:08 in November 2015, in the first elections since President Camorra, the guy that we talked about yesterday, who murdered his friend Sankara with U.S. and French support. Camorra was the former prime minister for, let's see, two years, and a long-serving member of Camorra's government and political party. He had left and founded an opposition party.

30:38 After Kampore's unpopular attempt to change the constitution and extend his term limit, the move had ultimately led to his November 2014 downfall. I was living in Burkina Faso at the time and recall seeing pictures of Sankara being waved on the streets and in the news as mass protests finally toppled the 27-year-long neocolonial government of Kampore.

31:08 thanks to the CIA. By the end of Capore's rule, Burkina Faso was among the poorest nations in Africa, with almost half of the country living under the poverty line. And the poverty line there is ridiculously low. The rapid development and progress made under the four years of Sankara's rule from 83 to 87 had been stopped in its tracks by Capore's Western-backed, illiberal adherents.

31:37 to basically the French business oligarchs, their political interests. Kampari's unpopular contrasts significantly with the widespread popularity of Sankara, whose goal was Pan-Africa, whose radical ideas have seen a recent resurgence. But Kampari's...

32:05 failed to capitalize on both Sankara's popularity and his policies. Years into his democratic government, 2015 to 2022, old friends in the country informed me of a feeling of dissatisfaction among the youth over the lack of meaningful change following Kampari's fall. Sankara had been rehabilitated on the national political scene and Kampari was made to stand trial in absentia over his murder of Sankara.

32:34 Still, other than that, Sankara's popular policies weren't felt to have been put into practice by Kapari. The country still retained the capitalist mode of production and a strong French presence, meaning their oligarchs. Not enough had been done, adding to Kapari's increasing unpopularity. The proverbial straw that broke the camel's back was a rising amount of Islamic insurgency in the north.

33:02 Enduring French logistics and military support, Qatari had long kept the insurgencies in check only for the situation to spiral out of control under Qatari. Before leaving the capital, I had known it to be an incredible safe city. Jihadist terrorism was not a concern on anyone's mind, and this was true across all sections in all classes, in all locations. But with the instability following the fall of Qatari,

33:32 Militants from Boko Haram and many other Islamic-related ISIS entities launched attacks on the capital as well as seemingly indiscriminate slaughters of unarmed rural civilians. The conflict since 2015 had claimed over 10,000 lives and displaced 1.4 million people. It sent shockwaves all over the country with shootings and car bombings. Dang, that sounds like Gladio.

34:02 A bus carrying school children was blown up after hitting an explosive device. Foreign embassies, restaurants had been targeted. Outside of cities, hundreds of men, women, and children were killed on rural raids. The security situation has well and truly deteriorated to a disastrous level. Poverty breeds extremism, and so the extensive regime of neocolonial super exploitation maintained for decades by France

34:30 certainly deserves its share of blame. However, the poor leadership, and again, it's the leadership, but we have said many times that these people are installed by the CIA. In November 2021, a mass jihadist assault on a security outpost claimed the lives of 49 soldiers. The soldiers were reportedly underpaid, undersupplied by the government.

35:02 Resentment and unpopularity creates this chaos. Capore was then removed in a coup by Lieutenant Colonel D'Amiba just two months later in January 2022. In his first speech, he blamed the president for the violence. D'Amiba made sure not to repeat Capore's errors and sought to retain the support of the people. One way he did this was by channeling the image of Saqqara.

35:32 Donning Saqqara's iconic dress, red beret, and military fatigues. He also sought to appease concerns of the regional bloc that had been suspended by Burkina Faso's membership following the coup by promising to return to a constitutional civilian rule when conditions were right. Unfortunately for Damiba,

36:01 Conditions would only further deteriorate in his nine months in power. And by September 2022, 40% of the territory had been captured by non-state actors. This was nothing short of a political and military catastrophe. Without hesitation, Captain Tatorre intervened in another coup, seizing power. And this guy's name is T-R-A-O-R-E. With the support of, quote unquote, Cobra.

36:31 elite special forces fighting in frontline insurgencies. This was also a unit he had previously led in the northern region. Junior officers had grown dissatisfied with Damiba's leadership as he failed to keep his promises. Since taking power, Captain Teware has ordered a general mobilization of population in a radical effort to turn the tide of the Islamic insurgency.

37:00 He has taken an explicitly anti-Western stance, much more so than his Paris-trained predecessor, Damibe. This has proven to be especially popular with the masses, among who anti-imperialist sentiments towards their former colonial power has long existed. After all, France had kept the nation in poverty and assassinated Sankara.

37:29 which they all view as the father of the nation. Trahore comes from a very modest class background, somewhat similar to Sankara. Like Sankara, he sees power at the age of 33, making him the youngest head of state in the world. He is very much Pan-Africa. He is an ally of the Sankara philosophy, and he made...

37:59 A guy by the name of de Tambele, it's D-E-T-A-M-B-E-L-A, his prime minister. A man who had already reduced salaries of government ministers and is adorned by many. The Sankaris line being boldly taken by this captain, at least on paper, marks a radical turn from the neocolonial path. The economic instability that it brings.

38:29 and also makes a marked difference between him and his predecessor's regimes. In the anti-imperialist spirit of Sankara, Western military aid has been refused. French-owned foreign media channels have been prohibited. Well, that's a good thing. French troops have been ordered to leave the country. Another very good thing. All military accords have been terminated.

39:00 That's another good thing. While anti-imperialist organizations and social media commentators have rightly celebrated these actions, Traore's domestic record presents a different picture. For starters, there's speculations he will turn towards the Wagner Group, who are already operating in neighboring Mali, resulting in a disproportionate number of civilian deaths in Wagner-involved operations.

39:28 as well as reports of rape and torture against African civilians. Now, I'm going to say something here that may or may not be controversial. These numbers that are attributed to Wagner may or may not be true. They are being printed by CIA-controlled media. And Wagner Group is the arch rival.

39:57 of anything CIA related because they generally operate in the environment where Russia is assisting or Belarus is assisting with foreign aid. They're kind of like their version of Operation Gladio, if you will, but not necessarily ones that instigate the mass murder.

40:26 as Operation Gladio counterinsurgency operations usually do. So I'm going to withhold judgment on whether Wagner's involvement in this is good or bad, because we don't have adequate sources of independent media reporting any information on that currently, because everything that you see is going to be seen through the CIA lens of them being bad.

40:55 and the CIA being good when we know the CIA is anything but good. And we're just going to leave it at that. These reports remain unconfirmed, and there is no evidence suggesting Wagner is active in Burkina Faso. With that said, Torare's comments in the 2023 Russian-African summit, along with his prime minister's visit to Russia, suggest collaboration.

41:22 He also has held Russia as a strategic ally, which he has to because if he's anti-West, Russia is your only option besides China. A string of massacres. One event saw 147 people killed in the northern province of Karma. That's weird. Including 28 women, 45 children. The assaults on the town and village.

41:50 have claimed scores of civilian lives. Such horrors may be inevitable during war, but it raises questions and eyebrows. And more than likely, these murders are being done by the ISIS in order to, and again, remember, they dress up like whoever they want to blame. So again, until we have credible sourcing of the information, you don't know who's doing what to whom.

42:23 On the other hand, we cannot ignore the context of the ongoing insurgency, what country can be expected to develop where they're constantly under attack by ISIS and the West. Burkina Faso was an impoverished global South nation struggling to free itself from the chains of French colonialism, is simultaneously going through a national crisis. The situation has many nuances.

42:51 Basically, it says the country's alignment with Russia and its courting of Wagner is worrisome to the West. I'm sure it is. Tohore's actions over the past year and throughout this coming year will decide whether or not the rule of a Sankarist military elite will be able to change the country. It is in the interest of the Burkina Faso people.

43:20 that they get this violence under control. And that's basically the article. So I just wanted to bring to you kind of the collaboration of multiple different sources that kind of go along with what we've been talking about and how it integrates.

43:50 all of those surrounding countries and how the systematic use of getting a toe in the door to then blow the door open with, hey, we just want unarmed drones in your country so that we can help you help yourself. And then those unarmed drones, after they set up

44:20 um some u.s special forces to be murdered becomes oh my god you have a crisis we need to have um munitions on those drones in order to protect the people that we have um coming here so um it's very very important um to um take all of this stuff in context and as i find these articles i do want to

44:50 Bring them to you so that you can see what's going on. Bridget, I assume you texted me this so that I could read it? Yeah. Okay. Yes. Just because I figured it is related and this is May of this year. So you guys remember that in the Congo we had the attempted coup there and you had the three U.S. citizens from Utah that was captured there.

45:21 And they were believed to be CIA assets. And they had a shootout in the Capitol. The one kid's, and by kid, he's an adult, but a son's father was basically the instigator. He was shot dead. And then they arrested the son, his friend, and another guy that had traveled from Utah there for the...

45:49 attempted coup and it shows that the there was the video of the guys with like their hands like they're praying begging for mercy um in the streets once they were caught um it says the u.s ambassador to the drc um denied the allegations of cia involvement expressing her shock on social media i am shocked by the events of this morning and very concerned about the report um

46:17 And then it says 41-year-old Christian Malenga was identified as the coup leader who became a naturalized American. His son Marcel was accused of taking part. Soon after the coup, security forces moved in, killing Malenga and three others. Around 40 others were arrested. A passport that was seized from one of the Americans, Benjamin Zaman Poland, a 36-year-old.

46:47 uh zalman was found to be previously linked to malanga and has a background of growing cannabis the failed coup took place near the offices of the president they attempted to target the homes of key government officials um but were unable to locate their addresses the drc military spokesperson general sylvan ikenji announced that

47:17 on national television that the coup effort had been blocked and around 50 people had been arrested. The group reportedly consisted of people with different nationalities and a nationalized British person was second in command. It also says that the president was elected to power in December of last year with over 70% of the vote. And then

47:47 Let's see. I just posted something. Hold on. Let me pull that up. She posted U.S. troops have left the drone base near the airport of the capital of Niger ahead of schedule. Reuters reports they made room for Russian servicemen who, at the request of the authorities, will train the country's army and have been at the same facility since May of 2024.

48:18 Air Force Major General Kenneth Ekman said, Ekman, sorry, that Base 201 near Agadez, which houses surveillance drones, will also be dismantled in August, bringing the United States out of Niger entirely. Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have decided to unite in a confederation. So, there you have it.

48:46 They are uniting almost like bricks against the Western imperialists to protect their citizenry and to fight against the injected ISIS plague that the U.S. imperialists have cast about the continent of Africa. And I happened to cross several articles outlining that exact thing.

49:16 that this has been a growing movement across, it seemed like, the breadth of Africa, all of these small countries joining together to keep the CIA and British out. So what's interesting about that to me, the same people, the Brits, French, Germans, us, are like a vacuum cleaner sucking up.

49:45 every Islamic radical person that they can, while at the same time injecting them into the continent of Africa. So you cannot look across the globe and not see a concerted effort to basically destroy and control humanity. Absolutely. They all better catch up on their hobbies now because it looks like we have no more need for them. Well,

50:22 That's true in these locations, but what are we doing? What are we doing to unite to keep these CIA-trained terrorists out of our countries? Exactly. Exactly. It's just mind-boggling to me. So, anyway, that's it for the formal part of the presentation.

50:55 If anybody has any questions, please request a mic and come on up. These international syndicate people are fucking parasites. They are fucking disgusting. They are fucking parasites. They do not deserve to breathe the oxygen on this plane. Oh, my gosh. I have to agree 100% with every single word. Every single word.

51:34 Burkina Faso was just awful. I mean, the one we went through yesterday, it just seemed like as soon as I got down, I mean, the paint wasn't dry, the blood wasn't dry, and they were already starting on another two. And do you think that was the resilience of the African leaders or was it a giant tug of war between the MI6 and CIA or, you know?

52:01 I mean, it's not a tug of war between MI6 and because they're united. They work for the same boss or bosses, the international syndicate. So it's definitely not that. What I do believe happens in many of these cases is that the person that they will back as far as a coup goes.

52:29 They educate, they train them, they groom them when they come over to get a degree over here. And in the hopes of if they need them to, because the wrong guy gets elected, keeping in mind that they're going to interfere with the elections to try to make sure the wrong guy doesn't get elected. But in the case of, you know, in some of these cases, they end up getting elected.

52:55 They have to coup them. And so in the couping process, you elevate these people who you don't know exactly how they're going to operate. Now, they may, like in the case of Burkina Faso, you may get a good 20 years out of the guy before he goes and does a Noriega that's like, you know, I'm going to come up with my own drug network outside of the CIA network, and I'm going to be a competitor.

53:23 And in that process, then they have to be taken out. Some do that sooner than others so that they may get into office and be so completely inept that there's no way to pretend in a facade that he's actually leading the country. So he's not going to voluntarily go because he's living in a palace and he probably was just eating peanuts, you know, five years ago.

53:52 In those cases, they do have to coup him again, and in some cases, almost immediately. So, Cousin It, go ahead. Yeah, sorry, my tardiness today. I'm on my sixth pickup truck full of debris. Just so you're aware, or, you know, following the Russian news and what have you, PMC Wagner, which is their...

54:24 offshoot of their military. They are a military organization that's recognized by Russia. They're not a terrorist group. They are actually, like Hezbollah is to Iran, they are a recognized military organization. Anyway, they have been in Africa for quite some time, at least longer than Ukraine, which is when I started following them.

54:54 They've been down there. And my opinion worth nothing, I think they gladiote the CIA. They've been down there now training all the people in all these different countries. And they have been setting them up. And Russia and China have been going in there and trying to help these countries with the infrastructure, using the PMC Wagner groups.

55:22 Because they do still exist. Prigozny, of course, is dead. But the group itself is still incorporated now within the Russian military. So they are actually now a part of the military. And they've been there for two years and longer. And they've been training and working with these countries. And, you know, to be honest with you, it's no big surprise when Niger finally stood up and said, you know what?

55:48 This is really stupid. We've got nothing from the United States except heartburn. And, you know, all these little countries are just, you know, and literally the posters weren't off the walls when Wagner moved into all of our bases that we've paid for. So this isn't going to be the last one. There's going to be plenty more because, like I said, they've been there for like two, three years anyway.

56:18 And I can't see one country going and the rest don't just follow suit. But that's just an opinion, of course. That's all. Okay. Stellar, go ahead. You know, seeing all the stuff that they were doing in the past, like you were saying, you know, like this Operation Gladio, all these different little projects here, there and everywhere. That's just the destruction of people and these divisions and stuff. And then seeing what's going on. I mean.

56:48 Not to bring U.S. politics in it, but who Kamala picked for her VP and what he's all about. And then seeing what's going on in England and, you know, you could go to jail by talking, you know, and Americans. I hope it really wakes them up. You know, it's like if you have any opposition to the masters, you know, we're going to put you in jail, you know, heaven forbid, you know, and.

57:13 That was like, they're still going through, they're still thinking that they're going to be able to go through with this. This is insane. It's truly freaking insane. I'll keep quiet. Thank you. Let me just, because you can, again, it's just a major rabbit hole. Let me read something to you guys. Before you do that, Colonel, before you do that, can you drop Bridget out? She can't hear you.

57:43 Oh, all right. I'm sorry. I'm fast. All right. Never mind. The hell with you. Quick draw McGraw. Okay. So just clicking around on resources, the country Benin, B-E-N-I-N. Let me read you guys something I just found. On 8 February 2022, two African Park Patrol vehicles in Benin's West National Park.

58:11 were badly damaged by landmines. How does landmines get in a national park? Operation Gladio, killing eight people. The incident is believed to have been perpetrated by ISIS Islamist. Was one of the largest terror attacks ever in the country's history.

58:35 What wasn't we talking about national parks and WWF and UNESCO? My gosh, we were. And wasn't that in Africa? My gosh, it was. Benin is more stable than the other countries in West Africa and is one of the few nations to have not had major terrorism. However, beginning in late 2021, terrorism began to creep in the north area of it, which.

59:05 If you look at a map, let me get that map back up. The map of Benin shows you that the north area of that area is Niger, where they had infiltrated. And right above that is Mali. And just to the west is Burkina Faso, blah, blah, blah.

59:36 So you see, this is a concerted effort and they put these national parks on borders. I'm not making this shit up. We're not going crazy. This happens repeatedly. And we just stumble across these articles. So let's see. Another jihadist insurgency raid of a military outpost near that same area.

1:00:08 killed two soldiers. In January 2022, a military vehicle collided with an improvised explosive device, killing two more people. On 8 February 2022, a patrol vehicle in the National Park was scouting for poachers when their vehicle hit two landmines.

1:00:35 The aftermath, French authorities agreed to launch an investigation. What the fuck is French doing there anyway? Get them people out of your country. You will never be safe as long as they're in your country. So there was another roadside bombing that killed another civilian in that same park. And then, of course, the French come in and do an airstrike against jihadist rebels that supposedly were in.

1:01:06 Burkina Faso when that's ridiculous. They're using the terror attack that they orchestrated in Benin to then drop bombs on Burkina Faso. You see how that works? That's Operation Gladio. That's crazy. So there's and it's funny now. Not funny. Ha ha. But it's interesting now that we have.

1:01:43 the Operation Gladio skeleton to be able to look at all of this stuff in a completely different way. And you see how all of these pieces now just neatly fall into place once you begin to click around and start doing research on all of these countries. It's just simply amazing, actually. What else is going on?

1:02:14 SR-71, did you have anything? No, ma'am, I certainly don't at this time. I've just been watching all this stuff go down in the news, and it's like, wow, what can I say? Right. I seem to be waking up. Yep. Bridget, what'd you got? Okay, while you were discussing this, because one of the common things, it does get exposed. We just don't personally.

1:02:46 See it in our news. Our news does not report on it. And just as an example, I've looked up human rights violations. And one of the things that came up was, aside from unlawful killings, soldiers that had to be armed, militants from Benin Fisheries and Oceanological Research Institute warned.

1:03:18 of a risk of rising sea levels, and it just so happens that they end up with a bunch of people that die in that same area. They also talk about there was, on May 24th, this was last year, the public prosecutor requested a 12-month prison sentence for journalists who had been in the custody since January for inciting rebellion. He was arrested following a Facebook page.

1:03:47 During a legislative elections in January, he wrote that representatives of the opposite party had been prevented from entering polling stations and they arrested him. This goes back to, ironically, just what Steller was bringing up was going on over in Europe. People don't realize, and I just wanted to caveat that with the other day I happened in on a space that.

1:04:18 Alpha Warrior was in. And he made a comment, and I repeated it to my husband yesterday, because I never really thought about it this way. He was talking about our Second Amendment rights and how precious they are. In these situations, the very presence of our Second Amendment rights protects us from these type of violations. It's not the fact that we are armed.

1:04:51 or that you have a gun in your house. But the whole fact that he talked about how while he was a police officer, they talked to a lot of the people who break into people's homes, excuse me, and how they look for soft targets. And in those cases, they will specifically pass over somebody with American flags out front, with...

1:05:20 Freedom Second Amendment signs on the property, things like that. He said, because they're looking for soft targets. And our government, unfortunately, at this point or stage in the game, is the equivalent of that. They're looking for soft targets and they're attacking people like these Britons, like these people down in Berkofas or in Benin. Because the...

1:05:48 People cannot physically fight back. They do not have weapons. They don't have a Second Amendment that protects them and allows them to have weapons. And that really puts in perspective for me one of the things that is currently keeping us from becoming one of these nations and all the more reason why we need to make sure that that is not infringed upon. I agree.

1:06:23 I agree completely. Um, does anybody else have, um, anything that they have questions about? Um, okay. Um, that'll be an early day today. Um, uh, so I did, um, I do have some exciting news. Um, obviously I'm going to be on alpha warrior tonight at nine 30. Um, we're going to be talking about Africa, kind of like the big picture, um, Africa.

1:07:00 and kind of just do an overview of all that we have learned about Africa and a timeline, which puts it in a perspective that we haven't done yet. And we have some really, really exciting news. Saturday at 7 on our Rumble channel.

1:07:27 We are going to be interviewing Ivan Rankin. So I explained to him basically what we have been doing here and the exposure of the worldwide coups for the last, you know, 70 years.

1:07:52 He obviously is focused specifically on the coups that happened during the Trump administration. And so I honestly think that putting those two things together contextually is going to be majorly explosive. So that each of the different coups and how they went about doing them, there is analogies to other coups.

1:08:21 And also, I'm very interested in exploring his background in Special Forces and their role in these coups outside the United States. So I'm not sure how much of that we'll be able to get to, but I'm very, very excited about the interview and having him on. Now, we will be doing it.

1:08:50 um, with live chat on the rumble and it will stream over to X, but that's not going to be an actual spaces. It is going to be a rumble podcast that we will stream on to, um, X and, um, then we will be in the chat on, um, rumble. So that's that. Um, and we'll try to, um, try to, um,

1:09:21 what's the comment on the Twitter feed, even though it's, you know, there's, there's a spot in there where you can comment, but not necessarily interact, you know? Yeah. That's going to be Bridget and Cousin It if they're available, because I can't do that and talk at the same time. So that's not going to happen for me. All right. Hold on. I'm getting more cryptic notes from.

1:09:52 Girl, talk, Cousin Ant. Just say it out loud. You want me to multitask. You're out of your mind. Yes. Well, you're wanting me to multitask. I can't multitask. So you're talking about Burkina Faso and Mali and such. And hot off the Russian presses. This is all from being translated from Russian.

1:10:19 Russia is actually going to be building a nuclear power plant in Burkina Faso. So they have electricity, finally. And I forget what the other one was that I posted. During the meeting, the stress to energy was the key factor to real sovereignty. Energy is a lever.

1:10:41 The minister also noted that the project is already in its final stages of preparation and only two steps remain before the start of construction. So, okay, so that was one. And the other thing, which I really am surprised that you missed, is Mali and Niger have appealed to the UN Security Council to investigate Kiev's support of terrorist groups in northern Mali.

1:11:10 So they found the stay-behind units, and they're coming from Kiev. Big shock. Yeah, big shock. Like the ones that were supplied here. Big shock. Right. Rinse, wash, repeat. Rinse, wash, repeat, right? Yep. Yep. But even right now as we speak, they are still working on it with Russia. They have still filed complaints, and they have found that it's Ukrainian Nazis.

1:11:41 Go figure. Yeah, I'll have to look that up. That's very interesting. I think Major Sarge just came up. Did you have a question? Yeah, I had a comment. This is Major Sarge. This goes back to the Arab Spring quite a while back. It started with that Tunisian vendor who molested himself, lit himself on fire that started the big Arab Spring uprising. I believe it was.

1:12:15 Mubarak in Egypt, who was ousted in the uprising, and some other countries had similar uprisings. The international syndicate seemed pretty excited about that as a way to do a regime change, and there were rumors that they were looking at, instead of just an Arab spring, like an Arab summer in Europe and Arab fall elsewhere in the world. That seems to have gotten postponed, but today's session seemed like a...

1:12:45 Somebody has designs to do fundamental change in Africa to transition it to an Islamic-type government there, or at least just to get rid of the existing governments down there. We're also seeing that in Bangladesh, where there is an Islamic revolution going on, going in the homes, killing unarmed Hindus there, and we're seeing the uprising going on in the UK, although that sounds kind of Glado-ish, because both sides are kind of...

1:13:14 squirrelly on what's going on there. And we'll see what happens if there's an Arab summer in Europe and later in the fall or next winter if there's some kind of uprising going on here. There very well might be after the election. This also reminds me of some pictures on the internet a while back of policemen unloading rifle-looking crates labeled Breda into a

1:13:43 undocumented alien housing units in Minneapolis, was it? Somewhere out that way. And quite a few years ago, good old Dianne Feinstein, a senator from California, was involved in cargo containers full of AK-47s that were discovered by customs, trying to explain where those were from and where they were going. They were from China, which was one of her big supporters that she was heavily invested in. So that's what I got. Thank you.

1:14:14 That was quite a bit. Yeah, it's interesting that just, you know, with about 24 hours worth of looking into the Bangladesh and translating a couple of videos that had been posted from sources both in Bangladesh and then one in India, they basically are.

1:14:39 And again, we talked about it yesterday. The ignorance of our education system is mind-blowing because evidently Bangladesh was considered East Pakistan. They have direct ties to Pakistan. Those of us who've done a lot of research into Pakistan understand that that's basically a creation of MI6 and CIA, and it always has been, and we've sent billions of dollars.

1:15:08 to this amalgamation. And, you know, it played host to BCCI, which was the International Crime Syndicate Bank for drugs trafficking, arms trafficking, and human trafficking, and had affiliates all over the world. So the involvement of Pakistan and there being the

1:15:33 um, Gladio force, if you will, in Bangladesh that is going in and basically lashing out. And, you know, the old, um, feud between, um, India and Pakistan ongoing, um, was by design. It was set up with borders to create the most, um, chaos after World War II so that when they push a button and they want chaos there, they have it.

1:16:04 And the same thing is true with most of the borders in Africa and in the Middle East. It's just chaos on demand. It's like a multi-console control panel that they just push the button and they've got instant chaos. It kind of just feeds into all of this. FedUp, go ahead. Hey, yeah, it was just something I wanted to add in, especially since, you know, one other piece of this with the.

1:16:36 The Russian side of it and the influence that and you can decide for yourself whether this is the government pushing it or the church. But, you know, the Russian Orthodox Church has been expanding heavily in Africa since December of 2021. They established they never had an actual diocese over like actual countries in Africa till December.

1:17:06 Then they established one for the north and one for the south, one with 24 countries under it, one with 31 countries under it. I don't know what happened to him. Did we lose him? We did. Go ahead, cousin. I'll bring him back up. I just wanted to let you know, since somebody was talking about Pakistan, the son of the former prime minister that was ousted.

1:17:42 He's publicly accusing Pakistan and the United States for interfering with that and causing that uprising. The guy that's named Khan? You had to ask? I'm sure that's who you're talking about. Sajeeb Waisd. The son of Bangladesh. Sajeeb Waisd. The son of Bangladesh, not the son of Pakistan.

1:18:14 ousted guy correct yes yes yeah that wasn't clear so say what you just said and now that it's clear the son of the bangladesh um prime minister president that was ousted said what said that it was the united states and pakistan that is behind all of it correct yeah that was in that so yes yeah but he is he is now stating it um on russian

1:18:41 at least Russian news, that he was talking about that today. So I posted it on the billboard. Yeah, that's actually in that thread that I posted earlier, too. That was in one of the articles that was quoting him. Fed up, go ahead. Oh, okay. My thing fuzzed out. My screen went white for a minute for some reason. No.

1:19:12 You know, the thing is, you know, you've got, you know, you've got all these different religious connections down in Africa, too. You know, I heard you all talking about some of the Muslim things that were going on down there. And there's a big push from the Russian Orthodox Church into Africa, which started heavily in December of 2021 when they established a Diocese of the South and Diocese of the North.

1:19:42 that they hadn't had before with a bunch of countries under each one and everything. And they've been doing, you know, going down, giving aid, you know, getting, you know, taking food to different people, setting up churches, getting the churches the resources, getting them resources in their local language, which is very...

1:20:03 Very key with some of that instead of going in and being like, hey, we're going to bring you all these Bibles in English. They're like, no, we want you to be able to do church services to your people in your language. And and that has been been actually growing very quickly. The amount of new churches that have been being formed under those diocese has been.

1:20:29 tremendously high considering it's, you know, in a three-year period. So, and, you know, that's a huge influence. And then when you look at and consider how tied in, how close Patriarch Kirill is at the Russian Orthodox Church to Putin, you know, they are really, really close ties between those two. That's another huge angle that they're playing in Africa. Right. Thank you. Bridget, go ahead. Okay. You know, we, we,

1:20:59 I've been showing you guys the patterns. Patterns, patterns, patterns. Let's just look at this which came from July 26th. The CIA Director William Burns met in Rome with his Israeli and Egyptian counterparts and Qatar's Prime Minister.

1:21:27 Now, it goes on to talk about how it was all about Gaza and ceasefire, but isn't it convenient that he was over there talking to his Israeli and Egyptian counterparts when just a few days later, Israel was over there trying to, there was talk about how Iran was going, or Iran or Iraq, that was going to attack Israel, and suddenly there was going to be, we sent...

1:21:58 a bunch of Marines over to the city. You know, you see how these, it's not just a coincidence that the CIA director shows up just a few days beforehand. All hell breaks loose over in the Middle East. My guess is he's over there not just meeting with his counterparts, but also the Gladio operators. Okay, here's what we're going to do.

1:22:30 I swear if we actually put a tracker on the CIA director, we could probably foresee a lot of different things. And especially when he's meeting with his Israeli and Egyptian counterparts, meaning their intelligence services. And this is why we're trying to show you that when these guys are all linking up together, no good things are not going to happen. He will never happen, so long as they're involved. SR-71, go ahead.

1:23:03 Yeah, talking about this meeting that was going on, I found it rather unusual that it was done with the Pope and at the Vatican, which means to me, obviously, they're looking at financing, big time. Take it for what it's worth, but that's what I get out of it. Thank you. Could be. Okay.

1:23:34 Again, I think we've got everybody's comments. Thanks, everybody, for being here. Appreciate it. Be sure to watch Alpha's show tonight. And we'll be back here at 4 o'clock tomorrow. And then Saturday at 7 p.m., we're going to be interviewing Ivan. And if you guys have any questions, you want me to ask them.

1:24:02 Please just at me on X so that I can get them all in and I would be happy to ask them for you. So thanks, everybody. Appreciate it.
