0:00 Welcome to another edition of our Operation Gladio Meets Secret Society show with Warhamster Brady. How are you today, Brady? I'm doing outstanding. How are you? Great. I'm in my mobile command post. I'm broadcasting from Montgomery, Alabama, and we're excited to be here and on our way to Texas. Very good. We finally got what seems like summer weather here, and the pollens are out. I mowed the grass yesterday.

0:29 I've been sneezing. My allergies are going off the charts. So I may go off screen a couple of times today. So I don't sneeze all over the camera, but that's why. Okay. Today should be a fun one. We are going, well, we're going to be talking about Skull and Bones alumni, Judge James Boesberg. And it's going to be a long one. I think it's going to take us to this weekend next to get through it all. Because boys, there's some fun stuff surrounding him.

1:01 Before we get into it, how apropos is it that we named last week's session The War Pigs? And considering what's going on in the world right now? Yeah. And I guess we should pre-announce Sunday night, I was asked to host on Patriot Soapbox, the show. It's on at 8 o'clock Eastern for two hours. It's live.

1:28 for the republic as a show alan myers is a friend of mine he usually hosts he has got father's day obligations so he's asked me to host and i have invited the colonel and ghost of base patrick henry to join me ghost is going to try to make it as early as you can he may not be there for the whole thing but we are going to do a sit rep and talk about this whole iran israel thing so we are not going to get into it today but uh i'm sure there's going to be a lot of developments in the next 48 hours before that so i will um

1:58 Make sure everyone knows. Well, I'll tell you right now how to find that show. If you go to DLiveTV, and you may have to create an account. It's free. Look for Patriot's Soapbox PSB, and we will be on there live at 8 o'clock Eastern. Awesome. Okay. Let's get into today's show. All right. So here is our Bonesman of the Week. I've got him right here.

2:32 And understand that it's very rare that one Bonesman takes an entire episode. And not just one, but two. Yeah. Well, this guy happens to be the most powerful man in America, apparently. Although I don't seem to see the judicial branch having that kind of power in the Constitution. But we'll get into that.

2:56 All right, so what do we know about Mr. Boasberg? Oh, I think the title of this is going to be something like Children of the Swamp. And what you're going to notice, well, we'll get into it. So Mr. Boasberg was born. He's the Chief Justice for the U.S. District Court of D.C. Born in San Francisco in 1963, but his family moved to Washington, D.C. the next year.

3:28 His dad was a bureaucrat. He's the child of a bureaucrat. That's the beginning of this pattern. What did his job do? His dad do for a job? No, he worked at the Office of Economic Opportunity, which we've spoken about before. That was the one that was created to administer LBJ's Great Society agenda, the war on poverty. How'd that work out? Like every other war on anything that the federal government does, it...

3:59 increases rather than decreases it. Exactly. Almost like that's on purpose. Almost. Government's just not very good at war, apparently, unless it's against people. What else do we have on dad? Okay, let's talk more about the Office of Economic Opportunity, because we have discussed it before. Who else has been part of that? Oh, I don't know, Dick Cheney?

4:32 who joined the staff of Rumsel in 1970, Two More War Pigs. Oh, how about a guy by the name of Herbert Kramer? Why do you know him? He was from Horace Mann School. We talked about him before. He was the director of this. Remember the Horace Mann School, one of our breeding schools? Yes. A lot of cronyism was a big part of today's thing, going into this Office of Economic Opportunity, which apparently didn't create much economic opportunity, except for the people running it.

5:04 All right. I'm going to set out a theme here before we go back into Boasburg. Early in my Wall Street career, late 90s, early 2000s, it was kind of considered bad taste for companies to get all their money from the government. That's really changed. If you look at the old lists of money per capita regions, Washington, D.C. was ranked like number 12th to 15th. They were like 10 to 20. They were not number one. They are now.

5:38 It's the wealthiest area, the area around D.C. And that's just changed in the last 20 years. And I've got a graphic that shows that. So there it is. We up on screen? It's coming. There it is. So this is the blue line is real median household income in the D.C. area. And the dotted line is real median income in the United States. And if you see back here, going back to the 1980s, it's pretty comparable, about even. And the United States is actually higher than D.C.

6:15 All of a sudden in 2000, 2001, the D.C. medium house income explodes. What happened in 2001? Boy, you are sharp. I love working with you. The massive expansion of the military industrial complex after 9-11 with the Patriot Act that was written before the event. With one of the war pigs, George Bush, giving his New World Order speech.

6:43 Bonesman George Bush giving his New World Order speech 10 years to the day before the towers are hit. And Peter Goss, who moves on to be the CIA director, is the one that championed the Patriot Act through Congress and would be rewarded with it as the CIA director post. Yeah. But look at this gap. Household in 2023, 31,000. It's 111,000 is the median household income in D.C. and the rest of the country is down at 80.

7:14 And that just shouldn't happen. This kind of reminds me of Hunger Games, where everything's powered around the Capitol and the rest of this is just provinces. Yes. That's what they've turned this into. Part of the big thing today is, you know, the colonel just nailed it. How did all the power accumulate and all the wealth in D.C.? It's all the lobbyists. It's the military contractors. It's all of that. And we've got to decentralize that. We're doomed. And what is 94 percent of D.C. votes Democrat? OK, so that's setting the groundwork for what we're talking about today.

7:47 Judge Boesberg and his younger brother, Tom, who hasn't done anything of notable, doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry. They both attended high school at a place called the St. Albans School. So let's take a look at St. Albans. OK, so it's really interesting. We talk about all these New England private boarding schools that are the feeders for the Ivy League schools. And their members all get picked for secret societies like Skull and Bones and end up in the places of power.

8:16 This D.C. boarding school, these are the children of the bureaucrats that work for the skull and bones type people. And that's what we're breeding the Praetorian Guard. If you know your Roman history, the Praetorian Guard is very powerful. Our bureaucracy is the biggest, most powerful in the history of mankind. They absolutely hate the America First agenda. These are the stay behind units in the government to do everything they can to slow walk Trump's orders or sabotage it. These are the people we're talking about.

8:44 Let's take a look at the old St. Albans School, and I'll talk about it a little bit more because that's going to be our main topic here. Okay. And here we're going to go to their website. Pretty place. Look at all that acreage right in the heart of D.C. Inside St. Albans. They've always produced a lot of good athletes. A boys' school for boys today. Jacket and ties and bright, colorful sneakers. Finding your voice, blah, blah, blah.

9:25 General Sal's chicken. What's that? Family style lunches are at the heart of our community where students break bread and share conversations with peers and other grades. So they eat well. 5.8 million financial aid, blah, blah, blah. They brag about 43% students of color, 80% of faculty with advanced degrees. It's you get the general impression, right? Yep. So what does it say in our school? It's an Episcopal once again.

10:01 We've got the Protestants. College Prep Academy in Washington, D.C. with 570 students. Now, it's one of several private schools located on the grounds of what's called the Washington National Cathedral. The initial funding was bequeathed by one Harriet Lane Johnston, who was the niece and the first lady of President James Buchanan. And she was a prominent Washington, D.C. socialite. Buchanan was not married, so his niece became the first lady, if those don't remember.

10:34 Harriet was rather wealthy, and she's the one who started this. The school opens in 1909 with 34 students. Early on, it struggled to compete with the New England boarding schools. But the Great Depression comes, and the St. Albans School isn't heard at all because of its location. The government kept running during the Great Depression. Nobody took a pay cut in the government. Everybody else did. It's got a current endowment now at $90 million.

11:05 It's about one-fifth of that of some of the bigger schools up in North. But the St. Albans School in 2015 had the highest average SAT scores of any U.S. boarding school. Wow. Yeah. There's also a St. Albans School in England, and they have an exchange program. Oh, of course they do. We have all that interbreeding going on. Oh, yeah. And the St. Albans School in England, of course, is a pipeline into Oxford. Of course it is.

11:39 The one in England is actually Britain's oldest public school, and it's one of the oldest schools, period, in the world. So we've set the groundwork for St. Albans. You know where we're going next, right? Yeah. We're going to take a look at their alumni and what they've done. Yep. First, and I did this alphabetically off the Wikipedia page, and I did some other searches and stuff like that, found a few more. And I'm going to pull this up because, give me one second.

12:14 The first name I came to that jumped off the page was none other than Odell Beckham Jr., all-pro wide receiver. He only went there for one year in seventh grade because his school had been destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. And, of course, St. Albans, they really care about their sports, a lot of athletes. And they decided, hey, we've got a nice super wide receiver. Let's bring him on board for a year for one football season. So that's why he was there. Next name was interesting. Was it James Bennett?

12:46 He became the editor-in-chief of Atlantic Monthly Magazine. Yeah, you've read that, haven't you? I don't read it on purpose, but I do have to do research in it. Yeah, you run into it a lot. What would you call it? It's pretty much a shill rag for... It's propaganda. A shill rag for the deep state. I'd say pretty much directly for the Atlantic Council, is what it seems like. So this guy came from there. All right, here's another fun one.

13:18 Michael Bennett, current U.S. Senator from Colorado. Why did he go there? Well, his father was a State Department official. And interestingly enough, he used to work for the fellow Colorado Democrat Senator John Hickenlooper when he was the Denver mayor. So these guys both come from the Denver mafia that basically has taken over Colorado and turned it into mini California. And his dad was USAID.

13:51 79 through 81. USAID is going to be all over the show. Okay. Holy crap. All right. Here comes a fun one. Joshua Bolton, B-O-L-T-E-N. Are you familiar with the name? Yeah. He's a former White House chief of staff for George W. Bush. Yeah. His background is interesting. His father was, oh, CIA.

14:28 His mom taught at George Washington University. He goes to this high school. Then he goes to Princeton. And then Stanford Law. Becomes a professor at Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. And then becomes one of the directors on the board of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. Which has destroyed Haiti. Yeah. So I decided to have some fun with this.

15:10 Okay, so I did a search on Grok. And it said, Grok discussed the scandals at the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, how big it was, and Joshua Bolton's role. Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, established in 2010 by former presidents Clinton and Bush at the request of Obama, aimed to support Haiti's recovery after the devastating 2010 earthquake, which killed an estimated 220,000 people and caused $7.9 billion in damage.

15:46 Joshua Bolton, former White House chief of staff, served as co-chair of the funds board, played a key role in its oversight. Below, I discuss the scandals. We've got mismanagement and misallocation of funds. You think? Critics, including Haitian activists and researchers like Jake Johnson from the Center for Economic Policy Research, accused the CDHF of misdirecting funds towards projects that benefited foreign investors.

16:15 and haiti's elite rather than addressing urgent local new new needs for example the fund invested 2 million in the royal oasis hotel a luxury project with suites costing 200 per night in a country with a 30 cent minimum wage this was seen as disconnected from the realities of most haitians you think a lot of us a lot of foreign businesses just coincidentally happened to donate to the clinton foundation correct

16:47 And do you know what his dad was involved in, in the CIA? No, I don't. Drug trafficking. Well, gee, go figure. You know, I find one of the great things about the Clinton Bush Haiti fund is it's just another example of how the swamp is neither right nor left. The false paradigm of red versus blue. They just work together and pretend to be opposite sides. Yeah. A little more on the Clinton Bush Haiti fund.

17:21 And this guy Bolton is really one of the co-directors. He's at the Caracal Industrial Park, a $300 million project financed by USAID. Huh? And the Inter-American Development Bank with Clinton Foundation promoting it to investors. Have you ever heard a swampier sentence than that? No. Because that Inter-Developmental Bank is basically the...

17:49 Same thing as the World Bank and IMF. Yeah, all of those development banks are sketchy as all heck. And they're just promoting multinational corporations under the guise of doing charitable work. Correct. CBHF's role included identifying tenants like, say, a trading company, a South Korean garment firm. Park promised 65,000 to 100,000 jobs, but delivered only 13,000 by 2017, displacing 366 families and failing to spur.

18:19 sustainable growth critics argued it prioritized foreign corporations over haitian priorities with low wages five dollars a day and allegations of bullying and sexual harassment i wonder if they're related to the john bolton i looked i think the spelling the last name is different okay um the cronyism and conflicts of interest well we've already talked about that the digicel telecom led by dennis o'brien a clinton foundation donor

18:52 Sound like pay to play to you? Yes. Sounds like the syndicate at work. Right in plain sight, though. Lack of transparency and accountability, to say the least. Fund claimed to have impacted 311,000 Haitians, only created 7,350 jobs. But see, I think that's the beauty of understanding Operation Gladio, is all of these things did operate in plain sight for the last 40 years.

19:26 but we didn't know what we were looking at. And now, once you understand Operation Gladio, it's so easy to take that information block and stick it in to where it belongs on the spectrum of this entire operation. Yeah. What else do we have here? Just a few more. $86 million raised. How much of it laundered? Joshua Bolton's role.

20:02 He was appointed co-chair alongside Laura Graham. Don't know much about Laura Graham. She's a former Clinton administration official, of course. Six-member board, including CEO Bruce Lindsey, also from the Clinton Foundation, provided policy guidance, oversaw strategy, monitoring fundraising, ensured fund dispurchance aligned with a mission. I should add to that sentence, also allowed for money laundering and child trafficking. But Grok didn't want to talk about that. Correct.

20:36 uh okay i think that's enough oh so um if you're done i just want to add one more thing in an interview i knew i had this in an interview with doug valentine who is kind of the expert on um uh the vietnam element of operation gladio and we used his book when we were doing our world tour here's a quote from him cia officer seymour bolton

21:07 was appointed as the CIA advisor to William Colby and later DCI George H.W. Bush. By 1973, with the establishment of the DEA, the CIA was in total control of all foreign drug law enforcement operations and was able to protect traffickers in the United States as well. And that's what Bolton did. He was the kingpin inside.

21:34 as a special advisor to the director of the CIA for protecting internal drug trafficking networks in the United States and controlling them overseas. So these guys are definitely Praetorian Guard. Yeah. Without a doubt. Yeah. I then asked Grok, I go, what about the human trafficking scandal? And that's where you get into Laura Silsby case, allegations of Bill Clinton's intervention in a case involving American missionaries led by Laura Silsby, who attempted to remove Haitian children without proper documentation.

22:04 indicates a cover-up or involvement of trafficking. And we've all read about that. And, of course, Bill Clinton's role as special UN envoy to Haiti. He urged U.S. and Haitian governments to resolve the case quickly, emphasizing Haiti's need to protect children from trafficking while acknowledging the missionaries' possible good intentions. Gee, child trafficking. We have Bill Clinton in charge of it. Was he ever on Epstein Island? Just a few times. Yeah. Can I also make a note of...

22:35 Looking over this list of the sports and how they like their sports program, what better way to create the network into sports so that you have the ability to co-opt leading sports figures that are prototypes for our youth, but by sending them to schools like this? That's a good point. Okay, so Bolton.

23:09 When he gets done destroying devastating Haiti, gets a job at something called the Business Roundtable. And let's see, we're going to share this real quick. According to Wikipedia, the Business Roundtable is a nonprofit lobby association based in Washington, D.C., whose members are CEOs of major U.S. companies. Pretty swampy, huh? This is the apparatus that they use.

23:43 um to divvy up the money that comes out of the national endowment for democracy through the chamber so we are already know there's a republican democrat and union piece then there's a chamber piece and this business round table is used um because what happens is they know ahead of time where these coups are going to happen they drive where they're going to happen hey um el salvador is trying to create this fara

24:12 Georgia's creating this borrow restriction. That's going to drastically restrict our ability to control the environment, whether it's needing unions or whatever. And you've got your politicians all under one umbrella orchestrating this entire takeover of the world. And the business roundtable is a critical piece of that. Very good. Very good.

24:39 So it says, unlike the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, whose members are entire businesses, the business BRT members are exclusively CEOs. BRT lobbies for public policy that is favorable to business interests. Well, no shit, Sherlock. Such as lowering corporate taxes in the U.S. and internationally, as well as international trade policy like NAFTA. So Donald Trump comes in and says, we're going to get rid of NAFTA.

25:10 And all of a sudden, you've got the entire swamp and major corporations all becoming anti-Trump because he's taken away the free cookie jar. Yep. In 2019, BRT redefined its definition of the purpose of a corporation as participating in stakeholder capitalism. All right. I got to go off on that for a second. Okay. You have got a fiduciary responsibility to your shareholders, not your stakeholders.

25:43 These shareholders have a precedence of ownership in your company. Nobody else does. If you breach that fiduciary responsibility, you ought to be fired on the spot. This is a democratic socialist concept, stakeholder capitalism. And it is entirely the fault of my hero, Thomas Jefferson, because when he wrote the Declaration of Independence, instead of using John Locke's original life, liberty, and property,

26:09 He changed the life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If property was still in there, the stakeholder capitalism never would have occurred. This country was founded on protecting property rights from an authoritarian government. We have the CEOs of these major corporations are now lobbying Congress for stakeholder capitalism, basically giving away your ownership rights. That is pure socialism. I'll read a little bit more. Current people on there is...

26:42 Chuck Robbins, the CEO of Cisco, former White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolton, Mary Barra of General Motors, Tim Cook of Apple, and Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase. A lot of corporate power there. It came from something called the March Group, founded by Alcoa Chairman John D. Harper. Alcoa has been involved in some of the coups in South America the Colonel's been talking about. Wow.

27:14 The origins of alcohol was involved in the fluorination of our water, too. Just FYI. Very good. It's founded by retired UAI State SEAL CEO Roger Blau. Labor Law Group study. The founding was basically they were concerned about the labor movement. They're the same people that try to pretend that they're solving poverty and have all of the workers' rights.

27:46 as paramount in their platform. The entire time they're sabotaging everything that they openly state they're for. Very good. Check this out. The Harper was the newly founded group's first president, followed by Thomas Murphy of General Motors, Irving Shapiro of DuPont. DuPont, of course, was involved in United Fruit. And of course, then Clifford Garvin of Exxon, which is one of the stepchilds of Standard Oil from the Rockefellers.

28:21 2010. Seeing some connections here. Yes. In 2010, the Washington Post characterized this group as President Barack Obama's closest ally in the business community. I bet. Then I got to read this sentence. On August 19, 2019, the BRT redefined its decades-old definition of the purpose of a corporation, replacing its bedrock principle that shareholder interests must be placed above all else.

28:50 as defined by the 1970 conservative economist and Nobel economist Lauret Milton Friedman. And promoted during the 80s in the teachings and writings of economist Alfred Rappaport, the shareholder value theory was widely adopted in 20th century North American boardrooms. The BRT statement signed by nearly 200 CEOs from major U.S. corporations in 2019 makes a fundamental commitment to all of our stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, and local communities.

29:23 When they want to do something, they just redefine. Yeah, but it's really, really telling that how our corporations got so woke. This is really at the heart of that. Yes. And Joshua Bolton was leading the way. The son of a CIA guy. Who controlled the drug. Yeah. So they could control the people. Uh-huh. But it is also a comment. And then they'll use those same people that they were drugging as pawns in their DEI.

29:57 Just square that circle right there. Yep. So Bolton was class of 1972. One year behind him was a gentleman by the name of Neil Bush. And we've talked about Neil before. We're going to go back to that. The thing about Neil Bush, he was named for Henry Neil Mallon of Dresser Industries. As we discussed earlier, Dresser Industries would become Halliburton. Yes.

30:30 to the heart of the iraqi war um his dresser industries is also the oil company where george w bush moved out to texas and started his long cia career so neil bush is at this high school too you know son of the swamp neil bush is also known for the silverado savings and loan debacle that is the savings and loan out of colorado that went under in the 80s and as the colonel i have talked about many times this is tied into

31:01 A number of things, including Iran-Contra, but also our favorite bank from Pakistan. He had a close relationship, nailed a close relationship with Russian Boris Berezovsky, who was a big rival of none other than Vladimir Putin. And he was the one that was basically enabling the West to come in and scarf up the resources within the former Soviet Union.

31:34 that got nixed by Putin. Exactly. And so Neil Bush, and this is how Bolton got his job at the Bush industry because he was a classmate or schoolmate one year ahead of Neil Bush. Neil stayed out of politics, but he's done pretty well in business. Got a lot of scrutiny when he made $800,000 on one day or on three stock trades for a company he consulted for after a new Asian client came on board. He should have done time behind bars for that.

32:07 And they see Silverado Savings and Loan. Another note on Silverado Savings and Loan is that one of the other co-investors was the Hinckley family. If that name sounds familiar, it's because that's where John Hinckley came from, the guy who shot Ronald Reagan. And who was Reagan's vice president? Who would have become president at the time? George Bush. I think that's a coincidence. If there was such a thing as a coincidence, it would definitely be one.

32:38 Yes. Last thing about Neil is he's the founder of the George H.W. Bush Foundation for United States-China Relations. Huh. That's interesting. Isn't China our enemy? And didn't George H.W. Bush work as the gatekeeper for all businesses trying to do business in China when we opened it up in the 1970s after Rockefeller sent his minions over, Minion Kissinger, over to open up China? Yes.

33:09 I'm sure there was a pay to play there somewhere. Just a bit. These guys just stink to high heavens. Okay. Another guy from this school is William L. Borden, who was the executive director of the U.S. Congress Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. He's the guy who wrote the letter accusing Oppenheimer of being a Soviet agent. Uh-huh. And he's the guy who wrote the doctrine.

33:45 It's the paper. You can look it up. It's called There Will Be No Time, The Revolution in Strategy. Said a nuclear war was coming fast and the only solution was world government. Like I said, we're all out in the open. New world order. Another alumni was Michael Collins, who's an Apollo 11 astronaut. On a side note, I was on Twitter the other day and Alpha Warrior mentioned something about some.

34:20 army major had made a tweet about a base on the moon that wasn't an army major that was the army secretary of uh that was the army secretary that said that so i commented to alpha i said uh great now you're gonna open up a whole another discussion about the uh apollo landing being staged in hollywood studio alpha got a kick out of that one that's good yep uh i'm not going there i don't know if we've ever been to the moon

34:47 I've heard both sides of that theory, and I'm not scientifically literate enough to know whether we can get through that belt or not, but I thought it was funny. All right. Our next alumni is, let's do this one, Walter J. Cummings, Jr. He was the U.S. Solicitor General, which is the president's lawyer who argues cases in front of the Supreme Court. So that's a big deal. And what was he there for?

35:26 What years? I don't have that down there. Eisenhower. Yeah, but it was a very short time. So he didn't really argue. I think he only argued like one or two cases. Yeah, but the fact that Eisenhower appointed him meant that he was basically the gatekeeper because Eisenhower is the one that created all the accelerated use of Operation Gladio around the world and all of these networks. And so it is critical that he was there during the Eisenhower administration because it was as corrupt as it gets.

35:55 Well, once you get this guy's background, you'll understand why that makes sense. He also later become a judge of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. So you get these swampy judges and the tyrannical judiciary keeps taking on power that the Constitution never gave them. That's really what we're staring in the face of, what Trump's looking at right now. So his background is from a Chicago law firm by the name of Sidley and Austin, A-U-S-T-I-N.

36:28 They were paid $7.5 million to settle legal malpractice claims in the savings and loan crisis from representation of Lincoln Savings and Loan Association. They were fined by the bar for legal malpractice. This guy's firm. They also had to pay $39 million in a settlement with the IRS. So this is probably not the most reputable law firm in the world to be from. They're also the ones that represented Huawei after Trump set restrictions.

37:02 See that China connection again? Yep. They were also the foreign agent registration lobbyists for Hikvision USA, which is a Chinese video surveillance company. Should I leave that hanging there for a bit? Yeah. Holy moly. They currently represent DJI Technologies, and they are considered a very controversial drone maker. Think that has any significance today? Yes, a little bit. He was...

37:36 He was only 36 years old when he became the solicitor general. Holy shit. Uh-huh. It's a good thing you didn't have to argue very many cases. All right, let's look at the alumni of the law firm of Sidley and Austin. How about Utah Senator Mike Lee? Oh, that's interesting. Mike Lee came from a corrupt law firm. Okay. How about a gentleman by the name of Barack Obama was a summer associate in Chicago?

38:12 Oh, and Michelle Obama was a lawyer there. Well, now we know it's definitely corrupt. Well, you'll love the next name I give you. Vice President of the United States, J.D. Vance. Holy shit. Are you kidding me? I am not kidding you. So you got a law firm that's represented drone makers, Huawei, which is basically a spying operation. And you've got J.D. Vance, who comes from the company Palantir.

38:44 comes from the you know the disciple of the owner of palantir which is a surveillance company digitally and now i'm starting to ask some questions well the only thing that i will say is this if you were to put trump's background on a piece of paper and his involvement with ray cone his involvement in the casino operations

39:12 and took it outside of what we know about Trump today, it's going to look completely different. And there's no way that these people can know all of the ins and outs of these corrupt organizations without some of them being in them. Yeah, and it's perfectly reasonable for an honest person to apply it and consider it a reputable law firm and work there for a bit before moving on and have no idea what goes on in the upper offices. Correct. We don't do guilt by association.

39:39 But we make these connections. You do need to ask the questions. It's a data point. Nothing more. It is not proof of anything. Fair enough? Yeah. Okay. Continuing on to our next alumni, Adrian Sanford Fisher. He was associated with the Department of War and the State Department throughout his career. So basically NATO and CIA. He went on to Princeton and then Harvard Law. So he probably knows a lot of our bonesmen. In the 1930s.

40:17 This guy, you know, he's a bureaucrat. He lived in this Arlington, Virginia house. It's a famous bachelor house known as Hockley Hall. And some of the other people that were staying there at the same time, like single bureaucrats would stay at this place. I guess it was a bit of a party sit. We had none other than Bonesman William Bundy. Another guy by the name of Donald Hiss, who was the brother of Alger Hiss, who was accused of being a Soviet spy.

40:52 And Donald also worked at Covington and Burling, which is Dean Atchison's firm. Oh, my gosh. Fun connection, huh? Yeah. Adrian Fisher was also the legal advisor for the State Department. And keep in mind, we just finished that book about the Splendid Blonde Beast, where the legal advisor to the State Department basically drafted all of the.

41:20 machinations behind the scene that allowed all the Nazis to get away. That is a very, very critical position to be in. And he was there when? Oh, during all of that shit. 49 to 53. Before that, he was part of the orchestration of the Japanese internment plan where he locked up a bunch of innocent Japanese Americans. We didn't want to lock up the Nazis in Germany, but we want to lock up the Japanese in America. Just go ahead and

41:51 Try to swear that. You want to know what this guy did in World War II? What? He was the assistant to John J. McCloy. Are you kidding me? Oh, my gosh. Uh-huh. Is this guy swampy enough for you? He was involved in the Nuremberg trials. And as the colonels told us a million times over, the Nuremberg trials were fake.

42:28 Most of the top Nazis never faced justice. Fisher is the guy who drafted the Tribunal's Memorandum on Nazi Leadership, and this is a quote, conspiracy to engage in crimes against peace. And his other quote, Germans were developing an economic system which was only sensible if there should be war. Now, that's a bit of a problem, considering all of his cronies like the Bushes and...

43:00 People like that were the ones basically financing the Nazis, who were now condemning them for taking our money and building the economic system that we orchestrated, forced them into after the Treaty of Versailles, where our good friends, the Dulles brothers, were helping to craft that document to ensure that Germany would face ongoing economic ruin. Because England didn't like economic competition on the continent. My theory, at least. Until they could invest themselves.

43:33 So after that period of time, he becomes a state, joins the State Department, and he was working on all the Cold War initiatives during Truman's administration. Which basically set up Operation Gladio. Bingo. He would then become the legal advisor for the Secretary of State known as Dean Acheson. Oh, my gosh. Guy worked for both McCloy and Acheson. That's crazy. And the last note I have on him is he was involved in nonplural rape.

44:04 non-nuclear non-proliferation negotiations as they proliferated and we completely ignored israel's capability well we might find out uh there's a really good debate on uh what is his name see if i have it here um i should have it uh oh by the way they were actually sneaking um parts over to pakistan the cia was so they could build their nuclear

44:40 Arsenal. Great. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you one of the hidden architects, Adrian Sanford Fisher. This is all one high school. The children of the bureaucrats. Another couple of fun names are David and Tom Gardner, who are the founders of Motley Fool, which has long been an outstanding website in the investment world. Definitely non-establishment, or at least that's how they were. I haven't read Motley Fool in years.

45:18 You skipped over Harold Ford Jr. too, the Fox commentator that's the Democrat. That's crazy. Yeah, I did see that name. I didn't want to bring him up, but yeah. That's the second major media figure we've run into here. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, go ahead. You figure he's got access. He'd be a great reporter. Oh, hold on a second. Are you going to talk about graves? Yes, I am. But I'm going to get to one guy before him because he's kind of important.

45:50 The father of the Internet and the king of global warming, Al Gore Jr. himself. That's so crazy. Oh, but I'm just a North Carolina boy growing up. His father was in Congress as a congressman from Tennessee for 24 years. That's why he's from Tennessee. Right. Not North Carolina. Sorry. It's a very old Virginia family. They moved to Tennessee. Al Gore is famous for being 25th and has graduated 25th in his class in 1951.

46:23 So very average student, to say the least. He only applies to one college and gets accepted. Harvard. Now, it's interesting. If I can find this again. Where Al Gore got turned on to the whole climate hoax. Give me one second. I got to scroll up a bit. Was while he was at Harvard. And shoot, I looked this up earlier. There's a professor by the name of Roger Revell who made a comment.

47:02 that Al Gore completely distorted everything that he said and took it and ran with it and made millions. I'm going to find out exact quota. I'll have to come back to it. Okay. But that's our buddy Al Gore. He's been in the news so much, we don't have to go into too much detail. And now we're going to skip to a guy by the name of Ernest Graves Jr., who was the director of the DSCA, also known as the Defense Security Assistance Agency.

47:32 What does the Defense Security Assistance Agency do? Officially, it facilitates foreign military sales and contracts. And the colonel is going to tell us what they really do. So this was actually a shock to me. I looked this guy up a while back because he was part of the Manhattan Project, too. And he the the Defense Security Assistance Agency.

48:01 actually is responsible for supposedly doing all of the military to military contracts. So they're very, very powerful. When a country comes to us and says that they want fighters, this is the belly button office at the DOD that either champions that military contract through the process or cuts it off completely.

48:30 And what I have traced it back in looking at Operation Gladio and the military attaches, because I actually had the privilege of assigning two of the officers that I was stationed with out in Los Angeles to this organization in the military attache program overseas. They're like acquisition officers. So we have a four deployed guy in every embassy and they work with the industrial.

48:59 and the military people like the two assignments that i worked was the one to italy to rome italy and the one to um london in the the u.s embassy um in london and so for the span of the time that they're there and i visited both of them because the guy in italy who happened to be one of my best friends at los angeles i was stationed in southern italy when he was the roma attache for this mill-to-mill acquisition program

49:27 And so I know a lot more about that than a normal person would only because two of my best friends were doing that job. And they are literally a gatekeeper, so to speak. It is their recommendations that work through the Department of Defense on up to the approval authorities.

49:50 No, the major or lieutenant colonel, in whatever case it is, isn't like the final say on any of this, but they are the ones that do the background and the justification. And anybody that understands how this process works, that's the starting point. So this Defense Security Cooperation Agency is the one that would have been working to authorize all of the supplies out through NATO to Operation Gladio.

50:18 Outstanding. Good. Very good. I knew you'd have that one down, Pat. So, Ernest Graves, Jr., his father was a Pentagon officer, because of course he was. He would go on to West Point. He then commanded troops in World War II and worked as an aide-de-camp, one of the gatekeepers to a higher-ranking officer. We've talked about that over and over again. So, he's from the West Point Mafia. Uh-huh.

50:51 He was part of Operation Sandstone, which is the nuclear weapons test at Eniwetok Atoll in the Pacific. Comes back from that and goes to MIT, one of the great breeding grounds, of course. Yes. And then becomes the liaison to NATO on nuclear power. When was he there? I don't have the year down, but this has got to be...

51:20 I would have been with the 60s because then he goes on to command the 34th Engineer Group in Vietnam. That's very interesting. Yeah. Oh, OK. Yeah, I see it now. That's crazy, crazy, crazy stuff. So he goes from being involved with the Manhattan Project to testing nuclear weapons. And it actually says that he worked.

51:55 with Leslie Groves, who was the guy in charge of the Manhattan Project. And I guess we should probably point out that there were German scientists involved in all of this, and some of them came over here in Operation Paperclip that were not tried in the Nuremberg trials. Sticking with that theme. Yeah, a lot of connections going on here, huh?

52:22 So 1951-ish is about, based on his profile here, it says, because then he went to MIT, so maybe 52. So, oh, he was there during the time that Operation Gladio was getting its roots set in Europe. Holy crap. Yeah, I hadn't even gotten down that far. It's always my favorite part of these shows when I can get a holy crap out of the colonel.

52:54 Yeah, this is crazy. You have no idea how much fun when I'm doing this research. I go, okay, this will be a holy crap moment. And it's not easy anymore to get a holy crap out of me. Yeah, it's like, how are we ever surprised anymore? We just expect it. But Mr. Graves Jr. is not done yet. So he goes off and becomes a consultant at CSIS, which is the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

53:24 And that is one of the world's biggest military think tanks. It is a huge part of post-Cold War planning. What were our plans post-Cold War? How do we treat the former Soviet unions, former Soviet states? As the boogeyman. And we decided to rape the resources. Yep. You're not going to believe who the CSIS gets its funding from. Who? Well, I'll just give you a list. Tell me if you think there's anything in common of these.

53:58 How about Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon, General Atomics? So what you're saying is they're paying for the military to develop propaganda that reinforces them getting contracts so they can continue the funding of the studies that gets them more contracts. I don't think it's even a step further than that. These guys are just military think tanks.

54:30 is basically working with NATO and the CIA, et cetera, to try to start wars all over the world so that their founders, these defense contractors, can sell more weapons. Yeah, so it'd be interesting to go back in the archives and from about, I don't know, 20 years ago and look at all the crap that they wrote on Iran. Yeah, we probably ought to do that. That actually sounds like a pretty good idea. We should probably do live research on CSIS because I bet there's a ton there. I bet.

54:59 They do get some funding from other countries. We get the U.S., of course, gives them money, but so does Japan, Taiwan, and the UAR, United Arab Republic. Wait a minute. So all of the main players in the World Anti-Communist League, are you kidding me? Taiwan, Japan. Oh, so this is just crazy. Yeah, I love the fact that...

55:32 The United Arab Republic funds a U.S. military think tank alongside our defense contractors. Yeah, I wonder what they're going to recommend we do. Yeah, we're going to have to do that. Maybe we'll do some homework on that before our Sunday night show. Okay. That sounds like a good idea. Good job. So that's Mr. Ernest Graves, Jr., but we're not done yet. Can we just do a shout out for the one?

56:04 Before him, Donald Graham, because he's the son of Catherine Graham from the Washington Post, is a graduate of this too. Just throwing that out there. Yeah. Wow. The bureaucracy's newspaper. Got to have a connection. They're all in this ball. Yeah. Well, they all live in this D.C. bubble. They have this fake world that they've constructed where the U.S. government is always the good guys and our foreign policy is always justified.

56:34 And their whole job is to sell it to the rest of the world so they can keep getting it to the rest of the country so they can keep getting away with their crap. And, of course, that's why our next name is Brit Hume, the Fox News anchor. Of course. Oh, my gosh. That's hysterical. Uh-huh. Then we've got Prince Faisal bin al-Hussein, the son of King Hussein and the younger brother of King Abdullah II. I guess his father was probably the Saudi ambassador to the United States for a while.

57:13 Think Saudis had anything to do with 9-11? Just a little bit. Next name I have is David Ignatius, very famous reporter from the Washington Post. Next, we've got none other than Jesse Jackson Jr. Well, wasn't David Ignatius involved in the framing up of Trump? Oh, yeah. Ignatius is one of the people, he's basically a direct leaker, the Crossfire Hurricane people, where they would leak directly to him.

57:50 He was pushing the Steele dossier big time. So now you know how they all know each other. Thomas Keene is next, who was a former governor of New Jersey and somehow became the chair of the 9-11 Commission. That's interesting. Yeah. How did he get that job? Well, it's from the Keene political family goes back years. His father was in the House of Representatives from New Jersey and his grandfather was a U.S. senator from New Jersey.

58:24 Oh, and Thomas Keene's son is currently United States Rep. Thomas Keene Jr., who is in Congress. Four generations of D.C. congressmen. But none of these people spent more than 10 minutes in New Jersey. Well, if their kids are in a school here, probably not. Yeah. But how did this guy become the chair of the 9-11 Commission? And what did the 9-11 Commission... Four generations of corruption. Yeah.

58:57 And what did the 9-11 Commission conclude? A bunch of errors. And something completely not even feasibly possible. Yeah, something not based on... It was a cover-up. Yeah. How many people have we seen... Who were the investigators? Wasn't Bob Mueller involved in that as well? Yeah. Well, that's funny because the next name on our list is none other than John Kerry. Yeah, we talked about him going to one of the schools in New England. He did that too. John Kerry is one of the...

59:30 swampiest of the swampiest. Holy crap. John Kerry also went to the Billup School in Exeter. I was just in Exeter last night at a Liberty Group meetup. I didn't get there early enough. I wanted to go see the school while I was there, but I'll do it next month. I'll get there about half an hour early and go take a tour. When John Kerry was at that school, he was a lacrosse teammate of none other than Robert Mueller, who covered up 9-11. Interesting stuff.

1:00:03 All right, this guy's next one's fun. Guy by the name of Justin Rockefeller, class of 98. He is the son of Jay Rockefeller, the West Virginia senator, which is why he was in D.C. His mom is interesting, Sharon Percy Rockefeller, because his maternal grandfather was U.S. Senator Charles H. Percy from Illinois, who, of course, was on a Senate Foreign Relations Committee. And his daughter marries into the Rockefeller family.

1:00:39 who influences foreign policy for their own personal benefit. Did I tie that together okay for you? Yep. Well, here's what's interesting. I've never met Justin, but I could have because he's the global director of Adapar, which is a finance tech company for family offices and managing high net worth people's individuals. I used that software for almost a decade and was invited to a number of their company events. I never went, but I bet if I'd gone there, Justin Rockefeller might have been there.

1:01:11 So that's when it kind of jumped off the page. Adapar is fantastic software. He also co-founded something called The Impact. And what The Impact is, it's from my world, a group of family offices. For those of you who don't know, family offices manage the money, all of the finances, not just the financial advisor. We do their taxes, estate planning, everything financial for very wealthy, multi-generational families. That was the firm that we co-founded in 2020.

1:01:42 We got into the family office business with some of the founders of a, well, I can't say the name of the company, but you know it, who they are. And we got shut down for two years because our clients were international and we couldn't travel during the COVID lockdown. So two years we got shut down, restarted it. And by then I was doing other endeavors and was sick of it. So I walked away from the business, but that's the family office. So I know what this guy does really well. And the impact is kind of the upper echelon of family offices.

1:02:14 basically co-founder of it. Justin Rockefeller, of course, is also a member of the Young Presidents Organization, the World Economic Forum, Davos, and the Milken Institute. Now, he graduated in 98, which would make him say he's about 40 years old right now, but he's a Rockefeller, so a lot of doors open for him. Next name I have on here, of course, is James Roosevelt II, the eldest son of FDR.

1:02:51 Interesting. James Roosevelt would actually be in the House of Representatives for almost a decade in the 50s and 60s. And the other thing notable about James Roosevelt is that he also attended the Groton School. A lot of the Roosevelts went there. And then, of course, I didn't take any notes there because I know you're going to cover this guy. Kermit Roosevelt III went to school there. So he's actually very interesting.

1:03:21 Obviously, he's the son of Kermit Roosevelt Jr., who is the CIA agent that overthrew the Shah or the Mossadegh in Iran and many other operations. What's interesting about this guy is that he follows our typical, he was at Harvard, then he went to Yale Law School.

1:03:48 He was a law clerk for David Souter. And he worked at a law firm called Mayor Brown. And if you do what Warhamster is notorious for and you look at where their offices are, they have 27 offices throughout America, Asia, Europe, Middle East. Their largest ones are in Chicago, Washington, D.C., New York City, Hong Kong and London.

1:04:16 which is all of the hotspots for CIA money operations and drug trafficking. Mayor Brown was founded in Chicago, and one of its first major clients was Sears and Roebuck. And if you research Sears and Roebuck, the guy that was in charge and created Sears and Roebuck was intimately involved in intelligence gathering pre-CIA. He had his own intelligence operation.

1:04:45 The guy was like, he had his own mini CIA before the CIA. So this is just, again, as we've been saying, I'm sure it's just another coincidence. He also, one of the lawyers from that firm worked to get the transcripts from former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, basically to write a book.

1:05:15 But listen to who some of their low nights are. Lori Lightfoot was a lawyer at this law firm. I was like, are you kidding me? And there's also a whole bunch of other people that people wouldn't necessarily recognize their name. But Toby Moffitt was from Connecticut as a U.S. congressman. There's a U.S. ambassador and a U.S. trade representative.

1:05:46 to the wto michael punty um but this one where did he go um was the one i found most interesting um you have david mcintosh the co-founder of the federalist society and the club for growth from this organ um this law firm um but if we go back to um there was one of them that was from now i'm not going to see it um that had

1:06:16 ties to the World Wildlife Fund from this organization as well, which, as everyone knows that follows me, that has a huge connection to the Operation Gladio and how they acquire property and designate them as national parks and then put terrorist training camps on them. So, yeah, it's a very interesting.

1:06:44 But at least he wasn't in the CIA. He broke a trend. There you go. It's interesting that you mentioned Sears because Judge Boasberg was class of 1985. One of the names I skipped over because he isn't all that interesting was a guy by the name of Edward S. Lampert, who was a bonesman, 1984. He just happens to be the chairman of the Sears Holdings Corporation. Oh, yeah. Not good. Uh-huh.

1:07:15 So my ears perked up when you mentioned Sears because I just read about it. Yeah. OK, let's get back to. Yeah, because there's a couple more. There's one. There's a guy down here. Are you going to do Russell Train? I wasn't. All right. Well, I'm just going to say that he's the former director of the EPA, which we know is part of the problem. And he was also the founder chairman, one of the founder chairmen of the World Wildlife Fund.

1:07:48 Very good. You didn't jump off my page. Next name I'm going to go is, I should save this one for last. I'm going to. So I'm skipping over this one. Give you a couple of easier ones. We've got a Gore Vidal, who we've discussed. Gore Vidal, we talked about him because he went to Phillips Exeter, the Phillips School in Exeter, the one I was almost at, yes, last night. I've got a Peter Jean DeVos.

1:08:17 who was a U.S. ambassador to the following countries, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Tanzania, and Costa Rica. I wonder if he was there when they were having their coups. I didn't look that up, and I didn't see it listed, but that's the question that came to my mind as well. Yeah, I'll have to look that up. It just seems that some of these people are always in the places right before everything goes down.

1:08:49 The second to last name that went to school there is a guy by the name of Josh Weinstein, and he is the executive producer of The Simpsons. Which everybody says is the forecaster for everything that's happened because they have all of those shows. Yep, Simpsons already did it. It's actually a hilarious meme. It just comes true so often. All right, the last name we're going to do today is a William Steiger. Why do we know him? Well, he was the chief of staff for the USAID.

1:09:21 And the chief of staff is the gatekeeper. So you want to get some handouts from USAID, you got to have this guy on speed dial. Why is he in D.C. to go to school here? Because his father was in the House of Representatives from the state of Wisconsin. He also, there's a few other connections. This connects to a couple of our other themes. Steiger was a Henry Luce scholar in the Philippines. Henry Luce, of course, skull and bones. Philippines.

1:09:55 Well, we've been talking about the Philippines ad nauseum for two years. Right. Oh, when was he there? Ninety five to ninety six. Oh, that's very interesting. Uh huh. And he's the godson of former President George H.W. Bush. Yes, he is. What the hell? Uh huh. Did you mention that his mom was the former chair of the Federal Trade Commission?

1:10:30 I was going to get there. Holy crap. How could you get any more swampier? So here's some of the policies he pushed for. He wanted a policy that required U.S. government scientists to be cleared by political appointees. They freaking politicized our science. You are not going to be a U.S. government science unless you are going to find the answers that we want you to on things like global warming. Yep, that's exactly what that is.

1:11:01 This is how our politicians control the science. And this guy's right at the heart of it. He also was a guy who blocked the WHO plan to combat obesity, arguing that the link between marketing high-fat foods and obesity was unproven, as was the role of veggies and fruit. And that's because he was closely connected to the U.S. sugar and food lobbies. Well, of course he was. This guy's the anti-Bobby Kennedy. That's a good way of putting it.

1:11:37 He also was on a global fund to fight AIDS. So he's a very close friend of Fauci's. Without a doubt. And how'd they do in fighting AIDS? Did I say fighting? I mean, causing AIDS. Yeah. And the last thing I'll say is he was the HHS liaison to the National Security Council and the State Department. When was that? Rather recently.

1:12:08 Oh, you mean during COVID? I don't know. Let's see if I can find that for you. Because even in the lead up to COVID, he would have been the person that planned COVID then. Because the National Security Council is the one that planned all of these covert operations. That's pretty freaking crazy right there. His whole career.

1:12:42 I got to show you a picture of him. Yeah, let's do that. He was definitely a stereotypical person that you would think. He was, let's see, he was in the Health and Human Services during the Bush administration with a portfolio that included HIV, AIDS, malaria, avian flu, and pandemic influenza preparedness. There you go. Uh-huh. Enough said. There's a loose scholar.

1:13:25 Later served as the U.S. member on the executive board of the World Health Organization, president of the executive committee of the Pan American Health Organization, U.S. member and alternate member of board of directors of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. He acts as HHS Terry's liaison to the National Security Council of the Department of State and the USAID. So he is definitely one of those shadow government kind of guys that floats in the background. And I want to explain to people just how.

1:13:56 crazy this is so this guy is so close to the bush family that this he is the godson of the former cia director w george h w bush he's the godson of george h w bush and works for george bush the son so you got a son and a godson working together

1:14:21 on hiv malaria asian flu and pandemic influenza preparedness um which in real speak is how we're going to use all these things to kill people yeah and that's just that this last guy is the perfect example of how the swamp works and as we said these breeding grounds up in the northeast new england are the ones who are this is the royalty that's the nobility this is the victorian guard going to this dc swamp

1:14:54 Yeah, that's the best way to describe it. Yep. Ladies and gentlemen, today's topic is Judge James Boasberg. And the reason he's so controversial is he always rules in favor of the deep state. And he went to the same high school as all these other characters. We didn't even get into all of Boasberg yet because I wanted everyone to understand why he is who he is. And I think this episode really mapped it out. This is the Praetorian Guard. Yeah.

1:15:26 you you don't get um and one of the other people i noticed here is um the marriott junior guy bill marriott jr went here um you just you cannot put all of these people together in um one place and think that they're going to fall very far from that tree no and it also you know having gone there and having any connections from school days it opens up every door you want

1:15:56 And I think the other thing that really illustrated today is it's both sides of the aisle. More clearly than most people could have done, this one school has both feathers of the same bird. 100%. Well, that's all I have for today. Okay. You did a fantastic job. Well, thank you. So did you. That's crazy. Okay.

1:16:27 Well, that set the stage for our next show next week where we're going to dive even deeper into Judge Bozeman's background. So you mentioned that we have the show on Sunday. What time is that again on East Coast time? It's from 8 to 10 Eastern on Sunday night. Go to D Live TV, D hyphen live, I believe, and look for Patriot Soapbox.

1:16:54 And, again, I don't think you need an account, but you may want to log in just a few minutes early if you do. And, again, it's free. But it's a good show. There's usually about 500 to 1,000 people watching, and it's a pretty active chat. One of the reasons I really enjoy doing that show is they've got some regulars there, and they've got some pretty knowledgeable people, so it's a lot of fun to do. Well, if we bring all of our regulars, they'll have a lot of fun interacting with each other. Yeah, that'd be great.

1:17:22 And there's some other good hosts on the Patriot Soapbox. I occasionally, you know, during the day when I'm working, I always have something going on in the background. That's one of the channels I'll hit up from time to time. There are some good hosts. There's some others I would call them second tier or conspiracy way out in the conspiracy land. But overall, I think it's a pretty good channel and I like the people. Awesome. All right. Well, that'll conclude our show today. Thanks for everybody being here in the chat. I appreciate it. And thanks for.

1:17:52 bringing the fire brady thanks for bringing the fire right back cheers everyone
