0:00 my eyes on the map. Holy crap. Holy crap. So we literally give you a 30 minute heads up. Yeah. We just got in, backed in the spot, got the slides out, jumped in here, lost my phone, had to find my phone, grabbed the laptop, came back here and I'm ready to rock. So holy crap. Hey girl, you're prepared for war. That's been a while.

0:29 That's been a while. I definitely don't like stress out, but I'm telling you that definitely not the way I like doing things. I'm the one of the three girls that's always ahead of time, always on time. So when I'm not, it's like, what the heck? All right. So I'm going to.

0:57 Take just a second to get all my stuff open and ready to go. Because I didn't want people to go, oh, my God, she stood us up again. We're glad you're here. And we're glad you're safe. And we're glad the baby's good. Yeah. Always safe. My husband's the best driver in the world. Excuse me. Okay. Trying to find the tab.

1:30 That has my last Korea article on it. So I did think it's very interesting, given the fact that we talk about Operation Gladio every day. As these things happen in real life, the...

1:57 close proximity that you see the knowledge of Operation Gladio applying to so many things. Speaking of which, is the ship, yacht, whatever you want to call it, that just was mysteriously hit by what some people are calling a tornado. Other people call it a whirlwind, depending on what article you read.

2:28 Very interesting information coming out about that because the similarities of, number one, I lived in Italy for three years. I never heard one time ever anywhere in the entire country of Italy having a tornado. I'm not saying they don't have them. I'm just saying it would be totally freaky.

2:58 And then you find out that not only was Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter not recovered, but we find out the Morgan Stanley International chairman, Jonathan Bloomer, was not recovered either. Clearly a coincidence, right? Completely a coincidence. And hopefully, if you guys haven't seen it, you can go see the post that I made. I did a little bit of looking. I didn't have a lot of time this morning.

3:28 But there's some very weird things about the court case because I want everybody to understand. UK would not normally extradite someone to the United States. You know what they've done with Julian Assange. I mean, they held him forever. And remember that that's reciprocal. Remember when Marcinkus was.

3:56 sent over to the United States. He was a U.S. citizen who then went and worked at the Vatican for all those years and money laundered and blah, blah, blah. And so when those people got up and they were trying, he's the archbishop at the Vatican, when they were getting ready to arrest him on the Italian side, even though he was in the Vatican, because it just went that far. He had laundered so much money and brought down so many Italian banks as well that they wanted to

4:25 arrest him. Well, he gets slipped out of the Vatican into Arizona where he retires and the U.S. refuses to extradite him to quote unquote Italy, you know, the NATO ally. So it is very unusual that they would just, you know, drop everything and extradite him. So what happens is he they have like a court case in the U.K. that is.

4:55 basically rigged and they find him guilty of some like bullshit thing. And they use that as an excuse to extradite him over to the US because he committed no crimes in the UK at all. The entire thing's a sham. But they used it as a justification to be able to say that they were not violating his rights and extradited him to San Francisco, which is where they had the trial.

5:24 That he was, you know, ultimately found not guilty. And supposedly celebrating the fact that he was not guilty on his yacht when all of a sudden he's dead. Wait, sure sounds familiar, doesn't it? Yeah. And one of the key witnesses that got him off that said he wasn't involved at all.

5:54 is the Morgan Stanley guy because he was the auditor. And the Morgan Stanley auditor guy says, yeah, no, he was never involved in any of the finance things. So that kind of sunk the entire U.S. case on that testimony alone. And so he just so happens to be on the yacht with this guy and the yacht goes down. So totally a coincidence.

6:26 Right, right, right. Totally a coincidence. Yeah. Just like the plane that went down with those doctors. And then, well, yeah, and then there's the other one that went down with the scientists. Honey, don't. Yeah. Yeah, don't. There's so many. We'd be here all night naming the amount of planes that has went down with significant people on them. That's not a coincidence. Right, right. All right. Now.

6:56 Where is my I'm still not finding it. And what I what I find absolutely completely interesting is the fact that it took so little time to even find the CIA connection with the one chick that's working for that company. And she used to work for a CIA airline and.

7:26 They're into like the one guy owned all of these logistic corporations. He owned an airline. He owned, you know, the typical things, an insurance company that a typical international syndicate guy as the pattern that we've established can fit everything to include having the real estate investment private equity fund. So and she.

7:54 actually worked for one of the CIA proprietary airlines that was on the board of whatever their company was. So, yeah, it doesn't take very long once you understand the pattern. Something else I wanted to bring out. You guys know that in Russia, I made a post about this because Cousinette found it. Oh, there she is. Let me invite her up.

8:21 about Cursed, K-U-R-S-K. And I don't know if you guys had an opportunity to see my post on that, but Cursed, just like we found out that the beach that they attacked, that Ukraine attacked in Crimea, had significant historical relevance, which is why they attacked it where they did. So does Cursed.

8:50 If you look them up, you find out that from the Christian standpoint, that city houses the most significant Orthodox Christian entity of building of anywhere.

9:16 So it says, in 2009, for the first time in 90 years, the site of the Theotokos of Kirst, the most revered icon in Russian Orthodox Church, received the name Russian Chajidrida, Russian Dyspora. So this city is very, very historically significant.

9:44 I suggest if you guys are interested in that, go look up the city and read a little bit about the history. This is not a coincidence. And of course, it has a nuclear power plant that they'll try to threaten and blah, blah, blah. So and what's really interesting about this is the fact that, of course, Ukraine is using NATO munitions to do this because they have nothing of their own.

10:13 That is, by Russian standards, an act of war of NATO on Russia. And he's really not wrong about that. So anyway, I just wanted to bring that up, too, as I'm closing the unnecessary tabs. And can I just interject to please everybody repost the space so that we can get everybody in here and get rock and rolling. Thank you. All right.

10:51 I'm going to have to go back real quick. Where'd Cousin It go? She's here. I know, but I invited her to be a co-host and she's not. She may not be able to, right? At the moment, I think she just quit work, but a few minutes ago. All right. Well, I'll get Stellar up here and then we can switch them out later just so that you have some help. I am going to go back real quick and find my tab.

11:18 that had the Glass Korea thing opened. Well, and in the meantime, here's another one that Cousin Ed found. North Korea is sitting on $10 trillion in minerals, but can't afford to extract them. There's very limited ways for North Korea to make money. Selling weapons, smuggling, and mining is some of those ways. But if you actually look at...

11:49 North Korea. And I'm going to speculate here for a second. In reading all that I've read about North Korea, both before the war and after, it does appear that the cutting off of North Korea from all communication and all outside access

12:20 that it makes a perfect place for the CIA to set up operational capability to be able to use in that region. And if you read some of the speculation, and this is all speculation at this point, that the...

12:47 The detonation of the mountain where supposedly all of their nuclear experiments, manufacturing and that type of stuff was located shortly after Trump got into office was basically the collapsing of an infrastructure that had been built to threaten the rest of the world with. And that the rattling of the cages of North Korea in the past.

13:15 almost to the tune of holding Camp Austin using that country as a battering ram for the rest of the world. And every time something didn't go their way, there would be a threat and that type of thing. And when I first heard people talking about that, I thought it was kind of really crazy. But after you find out what we found out about Operation Gladio, it becomes.

13:44 a whole lot less crazy and a whole lot more plausible. Because this is, I mean, we know for a fact, we have established that through Lebanon and Bulgaria, tactical nuclear weapons were sold. They were part of weapons deals. So they came from somewhere.

14:11 We know that some were stolen out of North Dakota, out of Minot Air Force Base. There were four that came up missing. The wing commander was fired. There was all kinds of shit that happened. So it becomes less and less crazy of an idea that that is a possibility. So I and when we find out how much minerals and wealth.

14:40 is in North Korea, why would they not have done that and sold that stuff on the black market, not unlike what we already know they did in the Philippines with Golden Lily treasure? So you see that almost nothing is off the table. You do the research in Operation Gladio and understand where they've already all been that we have.

15:08 declassified information and confirmed they actually did it. So a lot of things, and that's why this is so critical, is understanding all of the stuff that they have done because it opens the plausibility of things that they're capable of doing. And some of these crazy conspiracy theories in the past that would have been like the chart's crazy ideas becomes...

15:38 suddenly a lot more plausible. Not saying that that's true, but I am saying there's a lot of indicators that makes it possible. So with this just a little bit, the estimated mineral wealth is from a South Korean research institute. So it's not a, you know, kind of a bluff by the North. That was

16:06 done in 2010. And at that point, it was valued at $10 trillion, which makes it about 20 times more significant than South Korea resources. Also, it says such figures should be taken. Let's see. There's a world of difference between estimated resources and what's economically mineable.

16:37 And it says that North Korea's estimated mineral resources of copper, gold, iron, ore, and zinc, along with rare earth minerals and their potential for gas and oil, would prove to be a very valuable asset for the country. But what's interesting about this is many of these countries

17:06 have these types of resources, and yet our attacking them and then them taking our wealth through military aid to rebuild these countries seems a little odd, doesn't it? That they would be sitting on all of this. So why did we spend so much money if South Korea has even half that amount of resources?

17:33 Why didn't they pay for their own reconstruction? You see how all of this stuff happens? And again, that's why it's so important that we understand what the history of it is and do our research because it makes us more informed as to what's going on. It says, among its more than 200 different minerals are the world's second largest magnonite.

18:04 reserves in the six largest tonson deposits according to the geographical or geological survey with an estimated gross national product of just 1 700 um right now per that's on an annual basis in north korea it ranks as one of the poorest countries but it is actually one of the richest countries um

18:31 Despite reportedly, and again, a lot of that has to do with the sanctioning and everything else, we've been poor. Yet despite reportedly putting a priority on the mining sector, the ambition, it has lacked the equipment, expertise, and infrastructure to do it because we sanctioned the hell out of it. The Center for Strategic and International Studies suggests that North Korea mining production has decreased since the 1990s.

19:02 Because of their inability, basically, to recapitalize their infrastructure. There is a shortage of mining equipment. They're unable, obviously, to purchase more. And let's see. China has been the North's biggest customer. And that's probably going to continue as long as we sanction them. Let's see.

19:36 China did cut their import of coal and iron ore from the north when they threatened to do a missile test. And that was back in 2020. So let's see. That pretty much sums that one up. Let me go back here.

20:19 Yeah, I can't wait till we get to the whole Uyghur thing. That's going to be a whole nother bombshell for you guys. Because that's not anything like what we've been told either. Hold on just a second. I'm still looking for my article. We have so much in this Asia tab. It's going to be crazy. Right? Doesn't it kind of fill up a giant bin? Yeah.

20:56 The only problem is obviously that it makes it hard to go back and then try to find the stuff. That's why we have so many tabs. We keep talking about subdividing it too. So just so you guys know, we put all of our research on Signal so that we can all have access to it. And Bridget goes through and makes folders for all of the different areas. And then when it gets so large, she goes back and makes subfolders for all of them.

21:26 But it does serve, I mean, it makes it very good as far as a method of doing it. Okay. Yeah, we finally got a rhythm. Yeah, exactly. All right. So here's what I wanted to read. There is an area, an island called Jeju. It's J-E-J-U, island.

21:56 in South Korea. It is South Korea's largest island. And if you wouldn't mind, Bridget, pulling up a map so you could put it up there so everybody can see what we're talking about. There was an uprising on the island from April 1948 to May 1949, so approximately a year.

22:24 Let me reorientate you guys for dates. So World War II is officially over around 1945, 1947. We create the Air Force. We create the CIA. We do all of this bullshit. NATO's getting ready. We've got the Atlantic Alliance. It turns into NATO eventually. And the Korean War starts in 1950.

22:53 The year prior to that, there is this uprising going on on this island. And remember, I told you guys, from 1945 until 1950, the U.S. military, primarily the army, is occupying South Korea. So originally, Korea was divided into the two sectors. The Soviet Union was given the northern sector to...

23:22 push the Japanese out because they're allies. And we were given the southern sector to push the Japanese out. But what we did when we got there is we started a civil war basically within our own sector because the CIA, the OSS, all of those guys that were already there had already decided that Rhee, R-H-E-E, was going to be the leader. And remember, we talked about him having been

23:51 left the country and he was, quote unquote, the guy in charge. And they were going to repatriate him and put him in charge. And that's the reason why the U.S. couldn't support a nationwide consolidated election, because Reid would not have won. The majority of the population was in the North because it was much more industrialized. And so.

24:18 They did everything they could to keep them separated so that there was not a countrywide election, even though the North kept pushing for a countrywide election because they wanted to be a democracy. And anyway, so what the U.S. did was they started seeding like stay behind units throughout the countryside in the South. And then once they got it pretty well,

24:49 done and they were attacking local villages that they felt um either had um nationalists that would not support re because he had fled um or whatever so then they start once they've got the south saturated they start putting stay behind units in the north and this is before 1950 um so um

25:19 That's kind of where we're at. So we're going to go back to this. A year prior to the start of this conflict in 1948, the residents of Jeju had begun protesting elections scheduled by the United Nations Temporary Commission on Korea. And remember, the United Temporary Commission on Korea is the body.

25:49 that the U.S. had basically bullied the brand new U.N. into setting up with a handful of other countries, people in their forces, because it was like five from the U.K., four from France, and, you know, it was a joke. It was not a U.N. mission. It was a U.S. mission. But the U.S. wanted the U.N.

26:16 protection in order for it not to be labeled an invasion by the U.S. So it said Jeju was protesting the elections scheduled by the U.S. slash U.N. to be held in the occupied half of Korea, which they believed would entrench the division of the country. In other words, these people did not want

26:46 a South election only and a North election only. They wanted a unified country. So a general strike was later organized by the Workers' Party of South Korea from February to March of 1948. At the beginning of this, the Workers' Party launched an insurgency in April of 1948, attacking the U.S.-trained police and...

27:17 Their U.S. trained what was called the Northwest Youth League. And if you guys recall the U.S. Let me just read you the description of this because we talked about this briefly at the beginning of our Korea. Tell me what this sounds like. Northwest Youth Association was established in 1946 by refugees and they have a skeleton.

27:47 If you wouldn't mind cutting and pasting that, Bridget, Northwest Youth Association, just go to the wiki page and cut that picture out. It looks very familiar. All right. And it says that they were basically set up in the South to go fight in the North.

28:15 Wiki will tell you they were fighting communists, but I've already told you guys they're not yet communists. And I'm not saying they don't become communists, but they're not yet. They were still, I mean, in 1946, they were just kicking the Japanese out. And it says that they did all of this because members of their family had been imprisoned, raped, and murdered in North Korea. But that's...

28:46 Basically not true at this point. Not saying it didn't happen. The association conducted vigilante justice on anyone accused or suspected of being a communist. The association was supported by who? Sigmund Rhee, who was the U.S.-backed autocrat, dictator is a better word, in the South.

29:16 It also called these people, let me get to that part. It called them a paramilitary. Wiki may not call them a paramilitary, but they were definitely a paramilitary organization. All right. Back to the story. So this, the Jeju people were.

29:48 attacking the U.S.-trained police, and you can think Phoenix programs type police in this case, and this youth league that was sent in by Ri. And the First Republic of Korea under Ri escalated the suppression of the uprising by declaring martial law.

30:15 and beginning the eradication campaign against these people. And this went on for the better part of a year. Many rebel veterans and suspected sympathizers were later killed upon the outbreak of the Korean War. And the existence of the Jeju uprising was officially censored and repressed.

30:43 within South Korea for several decades. In other words, they classified it and you weren't allowed to talk about it. The Jeju Uprising repression was notable for its extreme violence. They basically did an ethnic cleansing in there, redid. The atrocities and war crimes were committed, it says by both sides, but that's not, if you do the research, necessarily what that bears out.

31:14 Because I can guarantee you the South Korean government would not have classified this information if the indigenous Jeju people would have been equally as cruel as Ri's forces and those trained by the U.S. The only reason that they classify this information is when it makes them look bad. But I love the way.

31:43 a lot of these different recounts of this story, especially on Wiki. And that's why you have to know what the real truth is before you just go casually glance at Wiki because you're going to get a completely different story. Historians have noted that the methods used by the South Korean government, which was the U.S. military, to suppress protesters and rebels were especially cruel with violence against civilians.

32:14 Let's see. Basically being horrific. In 2003, the National Committee for Investigation of Truth about the Jeju April 3rd incident chaired by the South Korean prime minister describes the events as a genocide. South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun issued an official apology on behalf of the South Korean government.

32:44 2019, the South Korean police and defense minister apologized for their involvement. So just a little bit more about this, just because it's so crazy. After Imperial Japan surrendered to Allied forces, the 35-year occupation had finally come to an end. The U.S.

33:11 We already talked about that. Lieutenant General John Hodge established the military government, which included Jeju Island. And U.S. representatives met with those from the Soviet Union and the UK to kind of work out how that was all going to work. And, you know, we've already talked about how that whole thing got set up. There was another.

33:41 article about this that i had hold on just a second i'm gonna see if i put that on a tab um which had um let's see okay so this has got um some very interesting pictures on it too um let me send this to um bridget real quick and then we're going to get into this one

34:23 On the 3rd of April uprising and massacre, it was a chaotic period right after the independence from Japan on the Korean Peninsula. It was in the middle of the cold. Well, it wasn't in the middle of the Cold War. Come on, guy. Let's see.

34:44 The islanders courageously stood up against the division of the Korean Peninsula and strongly protested against the first election because the U.S. only wanted to be done in South Korea because they wanted their guy, Ri, to be in charge. Unfortunately, military and police officers severely cracked down on the islanders, and about 30,000 of them, which was at least 10% of their population, were murdered.

35:14 There is about 600 historical sites on Jeju Island that are related to the April 3rd uprising and massacre, including a massacre site. Some of the village lost villages that were just completely mowed over have been memorialized as well. And let's see, what is the other one? Hold on just a second. It says.

36:11 All right, so it says the 59th Military Government Company arrived in Zhajiu with a tank landing and established a U.S. military government there as well. What followed was, let's see.

36:38 It says it was largely an agrarian society, which, of course, all of South Korea was for the most part compared to the North, and that they were independent farmers. They grew barley, wheat, citrus, other crops. And immediately after the war, their population swelled because people that had been in forced labor camps throughout the Japanese empire had came home. So they had a lot of unemployment. They had inflation.

37:07 Some of the soldiers brought back diseases. So it was kind of in turmoil at the time. And the U.S. and their decision makers, the military commanders, were trying to, as best they can, basically implement somewhat of a communist infrastructure there because they were trying to ration the food that they had.

37:36 in order to feed all these people. And I'm not saying that everybody there, that that was a bad thing, but I'm trying to set the stage for the unrest that was already there. So they've got a lack of food as far as the number of people that are to be there on an island. So logistics is a little bit more difficult.

38:04 And you have all of these people that in some cases, some of these people that came back had been in captivity for 10 or 20 years. So a lot of turmoil is what I'm describing here. And supposedly there was a lot of concern about making sure that the unrest there didn't get out of hand. So they start.

38:36 basically retraining the entire police force. And they did it in a manner that will be similar to what we see in the Phoenix program in the future in Vietnam. So they also began another aspect of the Phoenix program was basically to turn some of these people in their villages against their neighbors.

39:08 Also, another element that compounds all of this is because they had been occupied for so long by Japan, a lot of the villagers were Japanese collaborators. They had sold their neighbors out. So again, in some defense of the U.S. military, not a lot, a little, it's a very chaotic situation. They're coming into this area.

39:38 where there's a lot of indigenous hatred of people who had sold their neighbors out. And to be quite honest with you, it would be almost impossible for the U.S. military to discern who the good guys and the bad guys are. So it's very chaotic. So they're going to try to install, in the middle of all this chaos, their own government.

40:10 And they're they're very insistent on labeling people that they have decided are bad as communists. And that's for these people, a nonstarter after they have just been for the last 35 years held hostage by the Japanese people. It frankly pisses them all off. They have no.

40:40 desire to be in another repressive regime. They're thinking they just got out of one. In 1946, the police were clamping down hard on the island people, and they were making mass arrests. As the U.S. expands the police force, in most cases doubling it than what had been under the Japanese occupation, they were also creating

41:09 paramilitary groups by like 10 times what had ran when it was under occupation by Japan. The paramilitary groups start attacking supply lines, exacerbating the food shortages. So it's basically just falling apart. Let's see. Oh, don't do that. The U.S.

41:44 Government officials basically are comparing what's happening in Korea to what happened in Greece. And remember what happened in Greece is the CIA overthrew the Greece country after World War II. Because you remember the British had basically helped the paramilitary.

42:07 people in Greece and then decided they didn't want them once the war was over and then sent in these other people to basically kill the people they trained to try to be a pain in the ass to the Nazis. And they created their own chaos there. And primarily it was the British that did that. So in 1947, Jeju police shot into a crowd at an independent demonstration killing six civilians.

42:35 when the police went unpunished, the lack of accountability fueled anger. Does that sound familiar? So as strikes begin to occur, mass arrests continue to increase. The U.S. military is using the right-wing, what they call right-wing, paramilitary people, the fascists, that they trained to attack the civilian population.

43:03 So chaos, violence spread, which is, of course, what they're intended to do. And now the police stations and the jail cells are overflowing with people. On the morning of April 3rd, a dozen police stations came under attack by armed rebels trying to get their neighbors out of jail that they feel were unjustly imprisoned by the paramilitary groups.

43:33 And this is exactly what happened in Colombia, by the way. So the U.S. military command was the supposedly ruling authority. They took no action to prevent any of the murder, the rape, the torture, or the destruction that was taking effect across the island. They basically stood down and allowed this to happen.

43:57 During the autumn of 1948, violence raged as civilians were killed using bamboo spears, and entire villages were burned to the ground. Fearing targeted reprisals, villagers fled beyond the five-kilometer coastal area into the island's interior no-go zone to hide in caves. Now, isn't that interesting that the U.S. military had...

44:26 created no-go zones. What were they doing in the no-go zones? Is that where they were training the paramilitary people? So then what happened is many of those places is where the people were massacred. And today, unfortunately, that's where some of the

44:53 tourist attractions are because they were near lava. There's cave structures and volcanic activity on this island. So at the heart of this incident was widespread opposition to the U.S. supported elections because they're disenfranchised with the U.S., number one.

45:17 They really don't like Reid because he wasn't even there during the worst of their persecution by Japan. And number three, they want their country to be an entire country, not divided. And they're very concerned that if they have a South-only election, that's exactly what's going to happen, which, of course, they were right. So for the U.S., the election was the most important event, but there was strong opposition.

45:46 across Korea, not just in the South and not just on this island. Some 90% of those who registered to vote across Southern Korea say they did so under duress. Overall, Zhaozhou had the lowest voter turnout in the country, the highest echelon-related injury and death rate in the entire country. Ultimately, a South-only government was formed.

46:17 called the Republic of Korea, headed by a U.S.-backed Syngman Rhee, South Korea's first president. In a letter to Truman, Syngman Rhee wrote, quote, Such bullshit. Syngman Rhee also expressed confidence that the U.S. would be permitted to build a permanent Navy base.

46:49 That's what it's really all about. On Jeju, following the establishment of the South Korean government, now you see what they were all about, right? So you have to decimate this island if you're going to be able to then invade it. As a foreign country, you create all of that instability and turmoil. So you basically have a self-licking ice cream cone here. You destabilize the island, kill all of the resistance, then you're going to get a Navy base on the island.

47:18 When the Republic of Korea was established, the U.S. military still held command over the Korean forces but basically refrained any demonstration of force because they didn't want everybody on the outside to know they were still in charge. The U.S. military authorities were in control and aware of the violence on Jeju but suppressed anyone considered that tried to communicate that to anyone.

47:48 you know, like in the media or news. One U.S. official saw the uprising as an opportunity for the South Korean forces to gain, quote-unquote, combat experience. You know, just kill your neighbors, no big deal. In late 1948, Sigmund Rhee was informed that the Secretary of State, Dean Atkinson, wanted guerrillas in Korea to be swiftly eliminated and that American support would require a robust response.

48:18 According to a U.S. Army G2 report, between 14 and 15 residents of the Jeju were killed in 1948. In one mass execution the following year, 249 people were killed with the approval of Sigmund Reed, an event that was not reported at all outside of Jeju. By September 1954, which now is post-war,

48:49 the Korean War, because it ended in 53, violence had basically significantly reduced and restrictions eased. But for decades, even mentioning the massacre was considered taboo. Those who did risk being labeled a North Korean sympathizer and imprisoned just for mentioning what the government did to these people.

49:18 in the quote-unquote free country of South Korea. In 1999, the South Korean parliament passed the special law for fact-finding and reputation recovery, which was basically like a truth commission, like we've seen in many other places. In 2003, South Korean president apologized. We talked about that. Oh, and here's a beauty.

49:45 He dubbed the island the island of peace. And in 2013, it was designated, the April 3rd, which is the original attack date, was designated as a national memorial day. The former president said, quote, a historical fact that no force can deny, unquote, about the massacre. Years later, Zhezhu, journalist and author,

50:14 Hyo Ho Chung interviewed retired American military advisors who had been on Jeonju during the April 3rd incident and claimed to know nothing about the massacres happening around them. That's how bullshit this is. As the drive for reconciliation gained momentum, many of the April 3rd survivors and their families say the time has come for the U.S. to acknowledge their role in it. The U.S. government

50:45 apology regarding the role of the U.S. government and the U.S. military advisor group has been delayed. Ko notes, the guy that's doing all of this remembrance stuff, notes that in 2018, more than 200 South Korean civil society organizations gathered 100,000 signatures demanding the U.S. apology, which was submitted to the U.S. embassy.

51:12 He points out that the previous U.S. presidents who have expressed remorse for the acts or mourned the extreme violence committed by the U.S. and says that it's time for the U.S. to apologize for what happened. The families of the victims have been waiting 75 years. It would be better to receive an official apology sooner rather than later. He said it would be especially desirable if rather than just a high ranking official, it was the actual U.S. president.

51:43 Asked to characterize the role of the U.S. military on Jeju on April 3rd incident and about Koreans' demand for apology, a State Department spokesman said in an email, the Jeju incident in 1948 was a terrible tragedy and we should never forget the devastating loss of life. They added, quote, as close allies committed to democratic values and promoting human rights, the U.S. shares the resolve of the Republic of Korea to work together to prevent

52:13 such tragedies in the future anywhere around the world, unquote, as they are continuing to do them every day. Such bullshit. Heo Ho-jung, who spent more than 30 years researching the uprising for his book, says that America's role is well-preserved in U.S. documents, photographs, and press reports from the time. He writes that Truman and other leaders knew about the massacres, but were not concerned.

52:44 about them, he was only concerned about keeping South Korea separate. In his book, it says, quote, South Korea's jails were overflowing with political prisoners as a result of the undeclared war by its police on the citizens. While American authorities deplored the notoriously brutal police methods, they look favorably on the current campaign because

53:11 They had labeled the communists as the target. Keogh says there needs to be more awareness of the role the U.S. played in the carnage. And speaking the truth, he says, should not be a means to be punished, but rather a path toward reconciliation. The University of Connecticut history professor, Alex.

53:37 calls Jeju the core of the post-1945 conundrum and collapse of what still continues to be a Pax Americano. She told someone, Inkstick, that Jeju was arguably the precursor to the Korean War, which began after widespread civil conflict and bloodshed.

54:05 had already occurred elsewhere in Korea, meaning this went on everywhere. The Jeju Massacre stands as history for what a total bloodbath looks like. Jeju was huge because the sheer violence was supported by the U.S. military and pushed, basically ignored. She called the massacre in plain sight, which was a civil society still grappling with,

54:37 And the war that had just passed and the fact that, you know, basically they were trying to get their lives put back together only to be attacked again after they had been in prison for 35 years. And the whole thing is just crazy. Today, as they recall the horror, activists say that they took place.

55:07 What took place was a model for the scorched earth policies in other parts of the world, like Vietnam, Central America and the Middle East. And she's not wrong, actually. She implores Americans to learn the history of Jeju to better understand U.S. foreign policy. And she says that colonial patterns have only repeated countless times since then.

55:31 You frame the people, you divide the people, you target the people, and you justify the killings. Those are her words. And she just described Operation Gladio. So according to her, peace activists on Jeju are still targeted under South Korea's expansive National Security Act. Big surprise, because we're targeted here too. She adds that the access to strategically important Jeju

56:00 so coveted by the U.S. after World War II, had to be retained. As recently as March, the U.S. Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer made a port call at the Korean naval base at Jeju in what the commanding officer said was to ensure forces can operate together effectively. The destroyer's visit was preceded by a port of call of a Los Angeles-class submarine.

56:30 For more than 16 years, Choi and other activists have protested daily outside of the Navy base, calling for an end of the militarization. During World War II, Jeju was a staging ground for the Japanese air attacks. As early as 1885, Japanese newspapers reported on presumed Russian ambition to control the island, which back then...

56:58 Everybody wanted to control everything. So that's kind of not like a newsflash. In April of 2023, President Joe Biden will host South Korea president for a state visit, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it says South Korean president was to attend a April 3rd ceremony, has also been accused of revisionist policies.

57:27 Even as the survivors and others demand a U.S. apology, they don't believe anything's coming anytime soon. And that basically encapsulates the part that I wanted to read about this island. There's basically, I mean, the graveyards, the pictures of the graveyards and the memorial is just, like, devastating.

57:58 Um, I don't know if you guys, um, yeah, here's the other link. I'm going to send it to you right now, Bridget. Um, but anyway, um, we can open up, uh, mics to anybody that wants to talk. We're going to try to stay on topic. Um, cause I still do have, um, quite a bit to do to set up the RV since I had to like bail on my husband to get online. Um,

58:27 So we'll try to stay on topic for today. May I add just one tiny little section of something that is relevant, that is pertaining to this? One article said the role of the U.S. military continued even after the formal establishment of the Republic of Korea. The operational command the U.S. forces had over the Korean military

58:58 was articulated through its military advisory group and the operations to suppress the Jeju uprising. They go on to say that the provision of military advisors to counter intelligence core, as well as many other blah, blah, blah. And it goes on to talk about how this was their, let's see, they sometimes fabricated intelligence such as spread rumors.

59:27 that an unknown ship had emerged from the shores of Jeju, or that the Soviet Union considered Jeju to be its satellite, thereby prompting, and this goes to show you how they were using, even back then, the mockingbird media to spread rumors to get people in a panic, to get people that reflect to get control over them.

59:55 Anyway, it was just also that they talked about how this was their center for anti-communist activities. In other words, Operation Gladio. Right, exactly. I mean, it's just every single time it just blows my mind. Yep. SR-71, what you got? Well, I'm sitting here thinking about this and you're going through the history here and what's going on.

1:00:23 And we're looking at Korea today and where Korea stands, North Korea specifically, with its mineral deposits. The one thing that's puzzling me at this point in time is why they're not being exploited by China or being exploited by Russia. If I stop and think about it for a minute, and I think about everything we have done around the world to get from point A to point B that we accused them of, why is North Korea sacrosanct?

1:00:53 So it would be greatly appreciated. But SR-71, you are using logic. And that's how I started this whole thing off. If you think about it, if China or Russia wanted North Korea and they truly were communist, would they not have already taken it? Absolutely, Colonel. And that's why I look at this and I say, OK.

1:01:23 We're looking at Operation Gladio here, who accuses everybody of doing what they are actually doing, when I see evidence that says they are not. And you can't get more evidence than North Korea. North Korea, even before, I mean, keeping this in mind, this goes back to 1950 through 1953. So we are supposed to believe that China...

1:01:52 who helped North Korea defeat, after they were attacked by the U.S., by the way, in addition to the U.S. attacking North Korea before North Korea attacked them, despite the way history is taught. Why didn't China, who is supposed to be the big predator, why didn't they just occupy North Korea and North Korea become China?

1:02:21 like we are told happened to all of these other countries. Why didn't it happen to North Korea? There had to be something inside of North Korea that didn't allow either Russia, at the time Soviet Union, or China to do that that is being suppressed and hidden from us. Something. And that's where people...

1:02:51 have speculated that what happened in Korea wasn't anything like what we were told. That basically, that northern part of Korea was occupied by an entity that was hostile to China and to the Soviet Union and wanted an area that they could operate in.

1:03:21 That pretended to be a country, not unlike what they do or what they did in Pakistan, because they created Pakistan out of whole cloth. It has always been a satellite ran by the CIA under the guise of the Afghan war, which we started to. And the cooing of, you know, Afghanistan's government and the the bullshit of the drawing of the lines for Pakistan to be able to create. And then, of course, they gave themselves a.

1:03:50 nuclear weapon. So all of that crap, when you go back and look at it, it's all kind of like, what? How did we ever believe that to begin with? It's very easy now looking back to begin questioning things because what hampered us before is we had no ability to think outside of a box that we had been given.

1:04:20 We had been put in a box as a kid in history class, and we were not allowed to see outside of the box. Operation Gladio cut the box to shreds. And when you understand that the U.S. military isn't always a force of good, when you understand that the United States is not always a force of good, the entire world opens up to be able to see things clearly as for what they actually are.

1:04:50 not what we've always been told they are. Well, part of the other thing that blows my mind here, Colonel, is Trump actually opened negotiations with North Korea. Yeah. He actually stepped on North Korean soil, if you want to get right down to brass tacks. But even looking at that, I hear what you're saying about there's something there that...

1:05:19 inherently nobody wants to deal with i can't believe trump would have been that dumb no i'm not saying no you misunderstood me i'm not saying that people don't want to deal with it and i'm not saying trump's dumb what trump did in the um blowing up of that mountain nuclear complex was freed the north korean people because what was being held over them

1:05:47 And the thing that scared the shit out of everybody so that they wouldn't take North Korea, like the Soviet Union or China, had to do with something that was inside of North Korea. The blowing up of that mountain disabled whatever that thing was and allowed North Korea to be free, which is why Trump went over there and shook his hand, basically signifying he had freed North Korea.

1:06:15 Thank you, Colonel. Now I understand. Yeah. Yeah. I think the entire thing of him stepping foot in North Korea was the being the first person that did that at the invite of North Korea, which was basically another opportunity for Trump to spit in their face. And I think many of the things that he did was basically exactly that. It was putting them in their place.

1:06:45 Stellar, go ahead. Well, yeah. Yeah, I don't know what that entity was in the middle since it wasn't China because that's kind of what my mom's fear was. But I think that the matrix is being broken because for someone who is 87 years old, she's now saying that everything on TV is a lie. You know, she seems to have found a few Korean YouTubers. Like I said, she was watching that stuff, you know, like with the North Korea things.

1:07:14 And she does know of all the wealth or resources in Northern Korea. So I do feel that this matrix are, you know, and she's getting it from the younger people. That's the thing that's kind of amazing is that she's finding stuff now through the Korean YouTube and different places and her friends, which are all old women as well.

1:07:37 And my mother is so anti-communism, anti-communism, anti-communism, that now instead of me being a crazy person, she's kind of seeing what, you know, like what you've been showing us. And, you know, they were completely, I mean, you talk about fear, you know, and chaos during that time for a long time, you know, and they're waking up from it. You know, the order wasn't good. And it seems like, you know, I think that, you know, there's hope.

1:08:07 Because there are a lot of demonstrations. And she says it's not like in the U.S., like how England is and stuff. She says it's not like that. She goes it's the people that want freedom and they do want unification. They do. And I think I'm anti-communist if you define communism as government control of the economy. I'm anti that.

1:08:32 I'm not anti-communist if you're labeling somebody a communist because you want to kill them and not because they're actually a communist. And that's kind of what we're calling out here. Just because somebody has labeled somebody a communist and you don't know a damn thing about that country or the person that is being labeled a communist, we have established the pattern of them labeling people whatever the bad thing is of the day.

1:09:01 in order to assassinate that person. So I'm not okay with your definition, not you, Stellar, but I'm not okay with their definition of a communist because they're fucking liars. I'm okay with my definition of a communist being someone who supports the government owning all the means of production and being in charge of everything. I'm anti that, but I'm not anti whatever you labeled a communist because you wanted to shoot the person.

1:09:31 I'm not OK with that. And, you know, she keeps saying, you know, like if I do go to Korea, which, you know, she's insisting I go. Jeju is where she wants me to go. She wants me to go there. And she goes, you're going to learn a lot. So they know that there's stuff going on or that there were things going on there, you know, as well. All right, Stellar, let's go together. I'm ready. All right. OK. She wants me to go during the China Blossoms.

1:10:00 You let me know and we'll get the tickets together. My passport's ready. I just don't want to do it alone. Really clamp down on the information at a time. Bridget, hold on just a second. Seller, does she want you to go during the cherry blossoms?

1:10:23 Well, because she says it's probably a little too cold to go in the wintertime. So she said to go in the springtime because I've missed the cutoff for before it gets cold. Is it the cherry blossoms? Yes, that's what I'm kind of aiming for now is the cherry blossoms spring. Is it cherry blossoms? Because I'm all over that. Bridget, go ahead. Sorry about that. No, I was just going to add there was in Jeju, there was a massive campaign.

1:10:52 By the selected, not elected, installed president. And the reason why they set up those anti-communist groups on that island was because the pushback was so strong. And there were certain things that even today, well, this article is from 2018, they're still off limits. The locals are off limits from talking about.

1:11:22 So anyway, it just may, you know, it may be a little bit of a, you might have to get the right people to be able to open up about it. She says that the younger people are, they speak English. And she says that they seem to know a lot more than the older people do because the older ones are still in fear. That makes perfect sense. Well, and again, a lot of the older ones were old enough to have been still captive of Japan.

1:11:53 experience the actual violence of the attacks of the U.S. government. So, yeah, that makes perfect sense. Miles, go ahead. You guys remember the commercial that Trump put out for North Korea? Yes. Anybody remember that? Nope. I'm going blank. Yeah, I'll try to find that for you guys. It was about putting resorts on the coastline.

1:12:26 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Trump knew the wealth of North Korea. All they had to do was get on board for what's going to happen. Isn't that interesting? Well, see, that's one of the reasons why North Korea has this, you know, they're not farming, they're not ag, they're not agriculture, they're industry. You know, just like Colonel Tanner said, how our North was here in the United States and the South were the plantations and the farming and stuff like that.

1:12:58 even more so like that because of the harsh temperatures and stuff like that, where it was like work together as a whole. But when they separated it, you know, I guess they were trying to starve.

1:13:10 um, the North, North Koreans, you know, from the South because of the U S and then from the North from China. And then as time went on China and, um, North Korea, because they couldn't, you know, they needed to eat and stuff, you know, and, and for their people. So there were trades that were done that way, but it's just really, really sad. And I had no idea how, I mean, crap, Korea. Wow. Yeah. It's, it's very interesting to.

1:13:42 learn all of this history and geography at the same time. I mean, all of it is very, very important. And I'm glad we're doing it together. I'm glad we're learning about all of this because I think it will allow us in the near future, because I believe it's going to be in the near future, to...

1:14:10 be able to put things in perspective of, you know, basically what's going on. But I want, I assume, Bridget, that you put the map up on. Yeah. Okay. And so you guys see that.

1:14:42 You've got where Jeju is, and you can see how, and I will just tell you, strategically, being able to project power from there, where you've got Japan, you've got Korea, you've got China right there. Do you know who you don't have right there?

1:15:07 the USSR. And that's the people that we were told we were supposed to be worried about. You know, you have to go all the way up to the very north, tip top northeast of the Korean Peninsula to even touch Russia. And all you're going to get is this little finger that sticks down out of Russia along the eastern side of China.

1:15:31 The fact that they were telling us initially that it was the Soviet Union that we needed to be worried about, and then China, when you look that China has all of this shit, and just like the people that are telling us now that Russia wants Ukraine, Russia doesn't want more land. They're like the biggest land mass in the world. They don't need more land. They want people to leave them alone.

1:16:02 SR-71? Actually, Colonel, when you look at that island and where it sits, a military base there makes the most sense from a U.S. strategic standpoint because you have access to the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea. Absolutely. You're right there in the middle of it. And so it was the U.S. that went in there and caused all the havoc.

1:16:32 And or and trained all of the Gladio paramilitary people to assassinate so they could control the island. So it's nice that the South Korean government has apologized to those people. But we were in charge of that island when that massacre happened. Miles, go ahead. Guys, get prepared. Pretty soon you're going to be the historical gurus and someone's going to walk up to you and go.

1:17:03 Excuse me, can I ask you a hundred questions? Oh, okay. Yeah, Carrie, go ahead. I have a proposal. I know, I'm a weirdo. So, there is this strange thing I was talking about earlier about Azerbaijan, that it is the sister country to Turkey. And there's this whole, like, sister city, sister country thing that goes down.

1:17:38 And I just had an idea that we could, and you specifically as a, you know, a retired colonel could reach out to Jeju Island and become some sort of, I don't know what to call it. Like sister, brother, like.

1:18:08 I don't know. Apologize. I know it sounds really feminine and very, like, woo-woo. But, I mean, this is how paths are made. Like, in the consciousness. You know what I mean? Like, we all feel bad. Like, we feel horrible. I do. I mean, I don't want to speak for everyone, but I feel horrible. Poor little Jeju Island. I feel horrible for them as well. But I am not officially.

1:18:39 reaching out to anyone internationally to speak on behalf of my country because as a commissioned officer, that is absolutely not allowed. No, I didn't mean officially. I meant as a former. I would be officially doing it since I can't divorce myself from my rank. Wow. It would be interpreted as an official act. So it won't be me.

1:19:04 Um, do I think that there could be, um, I, I would love to go there. Um, and I'm, I'm dead serious about actually, um, uh, going to Korea. As a matter of fact, my best, one of my best friends was just there with her daughter for 30 days. Um, it has been someplace that I've always wanted to go. Um, we're going. And if I go, I definitely would go to, um, Jeju, um, knowing the history that I know about that, that area. Um, so.

1:19:34 Yeah, it would be very interesting. Miles, go ahead. On that note, I was having a discussion with a friend about consulates and embassies. And they went, well, we have an embassy in every country. And I'm like, no, we don't. They went, what? I said, no, we have to go third party on a lot of places. You ever talked about that, Colonel?

1:20:00 I've never talked about what countries we have embassies in and what countries we don't. For the longest time, after we decided that we were anti-apartheid, after we were pro-apartheid, we closed the embassy in South Africa. We have closed lots of embassies over the course of, and many times when we did it, it was out of retribution because they wouldn't show the...

1:20:29 international syndicate line. But yeah. And in some cases where we don't have embassies, we'll have a consulate, which is like, you know, the mini embassy so that we can kind of have plausible deniability. And that really is only maintained because it's full of CIA agents and not because it has anything to do with the State Department. So, yeah, that's true.

1:20:58 Yeah, the third party for North Korea is Sweden. Yeah. And supposedly that only happened, Switzerland had provided that role off and on because they were neutral countries. They are no longer neutral. Sweden was never a neutral country and neither was Switzerland. But they are officially not neutral now since both of them have talked about and or joined NATO.

1:21:31 Yeah, all pretense of neutrality is gone. Does anybody else have anything? I think we've got all of the questions. Bridget, do you have anything else? Excuse me, no, ma'am. All right. So thank you all for being here. Appreciate it. Hopefully tomorrow is a little bit more organized. Our road trips always add a little bit of a spice to my life.

1:22:11 scheduling, um, for, uh, all of these fun times. But anyway, thank you again, um, everyone for being here and being patient and, um, staying with me so I can get my RV set up. Um, appreciate it and, um, have a nice evening. Ma'am, there's one last request, I think, from Renee. If you have a minute. I do. Um, I do want to let everybody, uh,

1:22:41 But Alpha and I will do our show tonight instead of Wednesday night. And that show will be at 930. So where'd she go? Oh, Renee. There she is. What do you have, Renee? Hey there. Sorry. It's a little loud. Simon going by. Just a quick question, please, regarding Korea. I was trying to.

1:23:04 Do a little digging, but of course it's hard to find stuff either about like the history of Kim Jong-un or also, did you ladies come across anything about in that timeline about, you know, Trump meeting with him and then that mountain collapsing? And then the, remember there was some like missile supposedly that was targeted towards Hawaii, but then it was considered a false.

1:23:34 flag or did you come across anything like that? I mean, we talked a little bit at the beginning of the show. Were you here? Meaning the Korea 1 or today? Today. I was driving, so I was in and out. Apologies. Oh, no, no. That's fine. I just wanted, I don't want to repeat it for everybody else. Yeah, sorry. So, we don't know anything about that mount. Missile.

1:24:04 No, about the man. What is that? You know, it's it functioned pretty much like Cheyenne Mountain and some of our mountain complexes that houses. OK, OK. Thank you. Actually, nuclear capability there. There were your banding, ma'am. Whether it was lapsed on purpose.

1:24:37 or whatever, and in collapsing that mountain, whatever was in there was basically North Korea. However, and I do not believe, as a result of them attacking that, that signified the gay man making a trip over there to take his hand as an acknowledgement of freeing North Korea. Okay.

1:25:16 what happened, whether you, the classification, you're not going to find an actual acknowledgement of any of that. But we talked earlier about the fact that with, we started off by talking about how many, I mean, like $10 or $20 in North Korea. So if North Korea was up for grabs by anyone, you would have imagined

1:25:46 China was the. But that never happened. So what was there that was fending off both of those supposedly aggressive resource gobbling people that we've been led to believe? Something was inside of North Korea that was off limits to everybody and basically had the power.

1:26:18 to make themselves off limits. Now, whether that was a CIA state, basically like Pakistan or whatever, something was very different about North Korea. And the fact that, you know, you look at it and it's dark on a map. So everything about it's just odd. It's almost like geographically it's been not allowed to have outside communication. Everything's cut off.

1:26:47 That obviously leads to speculation and because you can't nail that kind of stuff down. And so I honestly, my interpretation of that would be that the collapsing of that mountain, Trump showing up, shaking his hand was like, you're free, go forth and conquer, whatever. As far as the missile goes, there's a whole lot of different avenues to look at that.

1:27:16 Some people viewed that as a test. Some people viewed it as an assassination attempt. And to be honest with you, I've not found a credible source to be able to assess where I fall on that whole thing. But definitely something was up that we were not told about.

1:27:41 Okay, great. Thank you for answering that. I need to re-listen to this. I've been working a little like a dog lately, so I'm behind on everything, but I appreciate you answering the question. No problem. I also put a link to it up in the fill as far as some big, you know, these are great articles, but they do talk about the incident happening. Okay, thank you.

1:28:08 Colonel, I found that commercial that's up in the nest. Okay, awesome. I appreciate it. All right, guys. Thank you very much for all being here. See you tomorrow or tonight if you tune in to the Alpha Warrior Show. Thanks. Good night.
