0:00 time since i did an updated version of operation gladio 101 and i have learned so much since the original one that i did that's posted on my rumble channel so i thought i'd take this opportunity to do that and i have to stop start with the bottom line up front as i mentioned earlier today everything

0:30 that we were taught about our history is a lie it was devastating to me to learn that but if you look back through history nuremberg was not anything that we thought it was did a few people die yes was there a lot more people involved that didn't yes in many respects i've come out

1:04 way from this two and a half year research project, understanding that from a strategic sense, we didn't actually win World War II. The forces that were behind Nazi Germany, a lot of the main players were never held accountable. As a matter of fact, the United States government helped

1:38 Many of them leave Germany. They showed up in places like the intelligence agencies inside of Germany. They showed up in the German government. They showed up in NATO. They showed up in foreign countries under Operation Paperclip. But worse yet, some of the most evil, vile people that operated inside of Nazi Germany was spread across the entire world.

2:07 and we keep coming across them in our Operation Gladio research. You definitely get the impression that a covert war went underground and was continued covertly. I also have developed the understanding now that this global

2:41 New World Order, Nazi International, whatever you want to call it, Fascist International, it's been called multiple things, looked prior to World War II, and I use the word oligarchs to represent bankers, industrial leaders like the Rockefellers, bankers like the Rothschilds, all of them. I refer to them, as you guys know, as the International Syndicate.

3:13 They formed, prior to World War II, companies like the British East and West Indies, the Dutch East and West Indies. They manifested themselves as international companies across the globe.

3:45 colonialize them. And obviously this went on for hundreds of years. When World War II was over, there was this mass effort to take what had been intelligence functions in corporations and put them under governments. So around the world, you saw

4:20 the korean k-cia pop-up um japan had one all of the countries in south america eventually have one the cia is born the only one that existed prior to that was in my six and each of these global intelligence apparatuses that were set up like massad in israel all collaborated together on a

4:51 Bunch of different efforts, which we'll get into. So these international syndicate corporations basically took off of their balance sheet an expense for intelligence and put it on taxpayers. They also employed their own paramilitary to protect their assets in foreign countries. They took that piece and created the Department of Defense.

5:22 They set up specialized units, which were later used to protect their interest, in many cases unbeknownst to the people that were doing it. So they've taken two large segments of their expenses and put them on the taxpayers in all of the different countries. We now know in today's day and age, thanks to...

5:53 the 1980s and 90s, contracting out of intelligence capability and military capability to corporations like Brown and Root, Halliburton, all of these. That those organizations, to include Blackwater eventually, got bought by these same

6:23 international syndicate corporations. So not only did they take it off their balance sheet, they are now being given profit from all of these privatized contractors to the CIA and the Department of Defense. So they're still doing their bidding and they are now profiting off of our investment in intelligence capability and military capability. So

6:52 you have to understand that power structure if you want to understand operation gladio i just recently put all of those pieces together in my head so back to the idea that there's this new world order some people refer to it as the nazi world order and appropriately so based on what i just said but the new world order

7:25 as we heard spoken by President George H.W. Bush Sr. in an address, didn't start with him. It actually started, as far as my research, and I've only went back to the late 1800s, with the Fabian Society. They had the idea, and Cynthia Chung's book does a very good job of depicting this history, if you're interested in looking at it.

7:55 They had decided that it was very good to divide up the different sections geographically set up of the globe. They thought creating a Pan-America, a Pan-Europe, a Pan-British Empire, that was originally going to be in Europe, but they decided they didn't want to give up their empire. And Pan-Asia, eventually a Pan...

8:25 Arabic, Middle East segment, but notably missing was Pan-Africa. And they were very honest in saying that we're not going to have a Pan-Africa because that's going to be the slave colony for all of these others. They were rich in resources and labor, and these people were very racist.

8:49 And they actually said that out loud in many of the papers and conversations that are quoted from their speeches. And by dividing these things up, they were going to create a virtual roundtable for decision making. And as you will find out in reading, the word business roundtable comes up a lot. And again, you can trace it back to...

9:20 their conversations. The EU is a good example of that, which was given birth almost immediately after World War II with the steel organization that was set up within Europe that kind of led them into creating the EU. And the trilogy that Antony Sutton set up explains

9:51 some of the fundamental principles. They had decided that it was going to be necessary to create boogeyman. And by doing so, they could polarize people. They could use propaganda, psychological operations, which of course Tavistock is notorious for being the origins of much of what we see in psychological operations.

10:22 If you created communism, the Bolshevik revolution, and Hitler, the fascist, we could convince people, even though they're both dictators and they both have total government control, that somehow they're polar opposites. So we're going to create this left and right paradigm where the Bolsheviks are going to be on the left and the fascists are going to be on the right.

10:52 And that basically gave birth to this idea called the third way, where they will use those forces to push all of us into compliance and out of fear. Fear becomes their biggest manipulator. So you can create this left and right paradigm and you see it play out in almost every aspect of life today.

11:22 You don't want to be too far that way. And you don't want to be too far that way because you're going to get labeled a communist or a fascist. And that's like the worst thing that could happen. That's manipulation. Anytime people use those words, you're being manipulated. And another name for that is the Hegelian dialect, where you can,

11:52 Create these two opposites and then synthesize people into the area that you want them to go. I also want to point out that they use basically three elements of power to do this. They use political by creating parties. They use economic.

12:18 by creating organizations like the IMF, the Bank of International Settlements, and the World Bank. Those all came to prominence after the World War I with the Bank of International Settlements, and then after World War II with the IMF and the World Bank. And if you go back and you look at people who have held the positions as president of the World Bank or president of the IMF,

12:46 you will find out that they work into the story of Operation Gladio. Some of the exact same people end up in these positions that were State Department officials, high-ranking Foreign Service officers, or from the establishment in the International Syndicate. So they control all of those levers of power.

13:16 You also have the military. NATO obviously was set up after World War II, but CETO and the OAS, Organization of American States, for the Western Hemisphere was set up as well. They are used to control countries within their sphere of influence.

13:42 And of course, this is when we get to the story that my husband brought to my attention, where by generating chaos, you are able to control people. That's where terrorism comes in to play. So he one day came up and said to me, hey, remember the program that we watched growing up called Get Smart? The two entities, the good guys.

14:12 were called control. The bad guys were called chaos. So you create chaos so you can control people. And what we were supposed to get out of that is it's our job to get smart to these operations and not allow them to happen. Obviously, some of us fell short. Next, I want to point out that even before World War II was finished,

14:44 There was a secret meeting that happened in Italy. It was called Operation Sunrise. That meeting had some very critical players long term. One of them was Major General at the time, Lyman Lemonsker. Another was Alan Dulles, who we know moves on to be the CIA director. The Nazi that they were meeting with.

15:14 there was a couple of others there um was carl wolf wolf was intimately involved in the werewolf units which were the original stay behind units in world war ii for hitler also there was uk general terence airy so uk was in it from the beginning so this meeting's real purpose was to basically present

15:48 to both the UK and the US that they had this extensive stay-behind unit organization that Hitler had set up. And Reinhard Galen, who was also a general in the SS, and Lieutenant Colonel Otto Skorzeny, a trainer for Galen, was intimately involved in setting up this intricate stay-behind unit throughout.

16:17 every country that the nazis occupied and as i pointed out many times one of the prized segments of the stay behind unit was planted in ukraine and lead bed and bandera all of the people um stetsco that the current nazis in ukraine pay homage to were those people that set up

16:49 Operation Gladio style stay behind units in Ukraine. And they still today use their Nazi symbolism as part of their organizations. The Azov Battalion, right sector kind of grew up from that stay behind unit concept. So they mapped out and basically sold, if you will, this network in exchange for their freedom.

17:21 So it was arranged that General Wolfe, even though he was intimately involved in some heinous crimes during World War II, was not going to Nuremberg. The same thing happened with Reinhard Galen. Now, Lieutenant Colonel Otto Skorzeny did show up, but he was acquitted. And that was all prearranged. That's why anyone telling you that we need Nuremberg 2.0 is crazy. Nuremberg was not an accountability.

17:51 It was a show trial to placate a bunch of people. So we know that Galen, General Galen, Nazi, was dressed up in a U.S. military uniform and flown into Washington, D.C. to be debriefed about the stay-behind units in Eastern Europe, which was his area of expertise. And with that, he is returned back and placed eventually.

18:22 into the west german chief of intelligence position to be alan dallas's counterpart that was called the german b d so another aspect in the immediate aftermath of world war ii was a company that eventually becomes uh named crypto ag the man that created the technology to encrypt

18:55 communications under Crypto AG was originally from Sweden. He had worked with the U.S. government during World War II. As a result of that, they took this man and placed him over in Switzerland and created this company. Now, he had developed basically a back door for the CIA and the West German General Galen, the Nazi, to eavesdrop.

19:25 on what eventually becomes 120 countries' diplomatic communications to their embassies. So if you're Egypt and you bought this equipment, which they did, if you're Iran and you bought this equipment, which they did, everything that the country of Iran was sending to their embassies around the world was being spied on by West Germany and the CIA. It was not until the year 2020

19:55 that this company finally was gotten rid of by President Trump. So you need to understand what that actually means. That means that every time the CIA pretended something was a surprise to them, they were lying. They had this information. Anytime a country was amassing troops, there were communications from that country to their embassies.

20:25 in other countries and the cia knew all of it so did the west germans now eventually this guy that created it got old and they weren't sure they being the intelligence functions they weren't sure that they could trust the son who was going to inherit the com company so they make an arrangement with the old man that

20:51 We're going to buy it and we're going to set up a front company and we'll give that front company 5% of the profit of the company or 10% to basically be a front company. And the rest of the stock, because this was a functioning company, was divided 50-50 between German BND and the CIA. So they're profiting from spying on people all around the world.

21:21 For those of you who are familiar with the Promise software, yes, it's basically the same thing, just for communications, where the Promise software was more about banking and all kinds of other things, tracing, money laundering, and stuff like that, all of which was stolen from Inslaw, the company, and used both by Mossad, because they got a backdoor version, or they created one, and the CIA created one.

21:49 and then sold that software around the world so they could spy on anyone doing money laundering that they were not aware of so this is not an exception to the rule on the way that they operate as we have come to discover and i'm not too embarrassed to say that in all of my professional military education and academic education um in civilian uh universities

22:21 I did not know that NATO was originally set up in Paris, France, but it was. Well, why isn't it still in Paris, France? Well, that's a very interesting story, and we'll get more into it later, but just to give you the Reader's Digest version, NATO ends up running Operation Gladio, all of the stay-behind networks. They did that under...

22:49 Two entities, one called the ACC and the other called the CPC. If you want more information on that, you can read Daniel Ganser's book, NATO Secret Army, because he basically tells you all of the details of that. But part of their domestic terrorism program is apparently assassinating presidents to include NATO presidents. And they tried to assassinate Charles de Gaulle over 20 times.

23:18 He got so sick of having his car shot out, his tire shot out, trying to poison him, and he knew it was coming from NATO, that he kicks NATO out of the country. The guy that was in charge of NATO at the time, Lyman Lemonsker, the guy that was at that secret meeting with Alan Dulles, setting the entire thing up. And I should point out that Lyman Lemonsker was at that meeting because he was the chief of logistics.

23:47 for general eisenhower at the end of world war ii and why is that important because logistics in the military is making sure all of the supplies get to where they're supposed to be it's literally like supply management logistical moving things around well that was a very important job at the end of world war ii because they had a crap ton of weapons all over europe and where did those weapons end up

24:16 in stay-behind-unit caches buried in forested areas to use when they got a mission. They would just go to their stash of weapons, which all ended up being NATO weapons. And so they would use these caches of weapons, and in the case of Charles de Gaulle, to assassinate them. So he kicks them out. That's how they ended up in Belgium.

24:43 Now, of course, Operation Gladio at the time was being heralded as it's all about the communists. We can't let the communists invade Europe. Well, as we all know, there was over, depending on whose figures you use, 25 to 50 million Soviets that had been killed in World War II. In the immediate aftermath of World War II, when the stay-behind networks was being set up throughout

25:13 the rest of Europe, to include Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, there was no Soviet threat. Their military had been decimated and their munition factories had suffered severe setbacks due to the Nazi campaign into the Soviet Union. And so again, the selling...

25:40 NATO secret armies as a defense against communism because any day they're going to invade all of these other countries was nonsense at the time. But it sold well because you have to have a boogeyman. So Otto Skorzeny was set up since he had been Galen's trainer during World War II, training paramilitary stay-behind units in all of the occupied.

26:10 countries for Germany, he gets selected by NATO to be their trainer for the new NATO stay behind units. And he was originally stationed in Paris, but he almost immediately gets recognized because he's got this big scar on his face. So they pick him up and they move him to Franco's fascist Spain. He sets up shop in Madrid. He has some handlers.

26:41 The CIA used junior military attaches in Madrid as pass-throughs for communication to Otto Skorzeny. Otto Skorzeny goes on to set up a construction company with a partner. That construction company, it just so happens of all the construction companies in Spain, they get the contract to build out all of the new,

27:12 Because again, Spain was fascist. They're not a democracy. We didn't have air bases there. We didn't have military bases there at all. But Otto Skorzeny's company gets the U.S. contracts from the Air Force logistics area to build out all of the military bases. What was actually built was way in excessive of what it took.

27:44 to actually build those. And it does appear that that difference in what it cost to actually build them and what Autoscore Zinni's contracts was for was a covert way of channeling funds to Autoscore Zinni under the guise of military construction. Now, that's not to say we didn't get bases. We did. But they were excessively expensive. So.

28:15 Otto Skorzeny is fat, dumb, and happy in Spain, and he sets up a whole bunch of what amounts to terrorist training camps on the border of Spain and France. And so all of the paramilitary stay-behind unit personnel are channeled through several different bases. Now, we've tracked those bases to the Canary Islands, to Sardinia, which is an island off the coast of Italy, and to Spain.

28:44 So they specialized in different things, like Sardinia was used primarily to teach people how to kidnap people. The Canary Islands did a lot of the underwater operations on how to conduct them, like boarding boats and that type of thing. The training camps in northern Spain was really the assassination piece of this, torturing people, that type of thing.

29:18 also need to cover at this point is so that you can understand that most of what we've been told about our history is just simply not true one of the major functions of the marshall plan post-world war ii was actually funding funneling money to the stay behind units creation because they didn't have another funding source at the time so we're going to create this elaborate marshall plan

29:47 And we're going to use the European Recovery Program, along with another aspect of the Marshall Plan called the Special Procedures Group that was administered through the Mutual Security Agency, which was part of the Marshall Plan. And we're going to covertly use those monies to pay for the equipment and the training of these stay-behind units.

30:16 They used the money for weapons, radio gear, salaries, and each of the caches had explosives in them and a certain amount of gold so that they could operate independent of any infrastructure when they went on missions. This money was also laundered through...

30:45 the Banca Nazionale del Labarno in Italy, the Instituto Opere Religione, which is the IOR, or the Vatican Bank. And the Vatican Bank is used a lot in Operation Gladio, especially on the drug side for money laundering. They were money laundering billions of dollars, which we'll get into. By 1951, the...

31:18 Office of Policy Coordination, which is Frank Wisner's organization. Now, it in itself is a whole story. But for this part, we're just going to say, when it was originally set up, there was a battle between the iterations of the CIA, because it went through two different iterations from the closing of OSS, the Central Intelligence Group, and another one, and then the CIA.

31:47 During that period, they made the case that they should have OPC because OPC is basically the covert operations. The State Department wanted it. The Department of Defense said, you're going to be doing military, paramilitary type things, and we should have it. So what was originally decided is we're going to place it under the State Department, but we're going to have liaisons from the intelligence and the military working with it.

32:17 It eventually moves out of the State Department into the CIA. And Frank Wisner, who was originally in charge of it in the State Department, moves with it to the CIA. And he becomes kind of the chief covert black ops guy. So they basically worked with the European stay behind units. But they know long term they have to have a covert funding source.

32:47 for this because the Marshall Plan's not going to be there forever. That's when they looked east and took the model that Paul Helliwell, who was working with Chiang Kai-shek in southern China during the OSS days during World War II, watching Chiang Kai-shek fight not just the Japanese but Mao at the same time in a civil war, funding his entire operation with opium.

33:17 And so there was a merging of the operations of the KMT army with the stay behind apparatus that was being set up inside of Europe. It later expands all over the world. But at this time, they're looking at this as the key to covert funding. We're going to use the sale of opium, just like Chiang Kai-shek had been doing inside of China to fund.

33:46 covert operations now that grows that grows into weapons trafficking and human trafficking as well but it originally started with opium so you have the kmt's 93rd and third division that was being serviced by the china lobby and all of the people involved in it which is where we came across william polly claire chenault again a major general um

34:15 from the u.s military and there were heroin labs being set up in the southeast asia area to convert the opium into heroin and the civil air transport cat which later becomes air america and a proprietary for the cia was doing a lot of the transporting

34:45 They also, Paul Helliwell, sets up a company called Sea Supply so that they have shipping and air ability to move opium around the world, independent of anyone else. They use the Corsican Mafia originally because they had a particular scientist there that had set up a lab that no one could replicate.

35:12 replicate the number four quality heroin that this man was producing. And so that's the reason why we agreed to put the French back into Vietnam after World War II instead of going with Ho Chi Minh, who, by the way, was not a communist at the point. He wanted a constitution in a unified Vietnam. But we decided that's not going to work if we're going to control the opium flow.

35:38 in southeast asia we need a foothold in vietnam so we were going to put um and we did agree that the french could come back after world war ii into um they'd been kicked out by the japanese into vietnam and re-colonialize it which seems to be completely

36:01 opposite of what we would be doing as a country. We certainly wouldn't be supporting the recolonization of a country, but we did. So the French, who has the lock on number four grade heroin because of the Corsican Mafia, we want the French in. Eventually, we, I won't say we aided, but there was a lot of shenanigans going on in Vietnam.

36:32 which leads to the defeat of the fringe and they're leaving. And of course we came in immediately and took over that operation. And just as there was the wiping out of the Corsican mafia, once Sicily had gotten this chemist that had the same capabilities of generating number four heroin in Sicily, there was this sudden crop.

37:01 crackdown on the Corsican mafia, and they all got killed. So now the CIA monopolized the entire pipeline from Southeast Asia into the United States, using, of course, Cuba as a processing hub. So there you go. These proceeds end up being used for Southeast Asia. They primarily use the Nugent Hand Bank. It was just across the water.

37:35 in australia and you have nugent the um lawyer turned banker out of no apparent reason like heliwell was a lawyer who turned banker too with castle bank and bcci which when we move these operations eventually lose vietnam and we're moving them to afghanistan um bcci

38:02 grows up and becomes the seventh largest bank in the entire world with zero assets because they're a money laundering operation for this entire thing. So they create fake banks with real life people putting their money in there, which eventually all go bankrupt because they're designed to do that so that you can do away with the evidence. And Nugent Hands in Australia, BCCI,

38:32 was originally a bank in Pakistan, and it's always advertised as a Pakistani bank, but it actually wasn't headquartered in Pakistan, nor ran out of Pakistan. It was ran out of the city of London. And if I remember correctly, its charter was actually in Luxembourg, which is a notorious money laundering country because they have no banking regulations, basically. So these...

39:01 this banking system because by now it is such a multi-billion dollar industry. They've far surpassed the Vatican's ability at the IOR, Vatican Bank, to money launder all the money because it's like tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions of dollars that is being generated through weapons sales, drug sales, and human trafficking.

39:31 What happened in the island of Formosa that changed its name to Taiwan? So Chiang Kai-shek eventually loses to Mao and he's kicked out of China. Well, they're not going to give up their opium business because it's funding all these covert stay-behind units. So the CIA decides to move him to Burma along with his KMT army. And they set up opium farms there too.

40:00 The Burmese eventually get tired of the ruckus that they're creating and they kick him out as well. So they have to have a place to put him. Formosa is this Chinese island. Chiang Kai-shek is a Chinese general. Just makes sense to throw him over there. And they do. And Chiang Kai-shek almost immediately, because the Formosans don't want to have anything to do with the CIA. They don't want to have anything to do with Chiang Kai-shek and his opium.

40:30 they start rebelling. So Chiang Kai-shek declares martial law, kills a whole bunch of Formosans, and rules by edict for the next 40 years, both him and his son. And he was allowed to do that because we had an entire industry pop up called the China lobby that had some very famous people involved in it that basically lied to the American people, to include General MacArthur, by the way, because he's still hanging out in Japan at this point.

41:01 to say that Chiang Kai-shek is running a democracy. It wasn't a democracy. People were being bayoneted in front of the State Department, and that was revealed in declassified cables. So here you have a Chinese general sitting on a Chinese island, and we're just going to change the shingle. And for a period of time, it was called the Republic of China, like a government in exile. Eventually, it gets called Taiwan. It's all the same thing. It's actually Formosa.

41:29 a Chinese island with a Chinese general sitting in front of it. So if you look into the first few State Department and CIA people that get stationed there that are going to lie to the American people, you find another pattern. So one of the first, well, the first in 1946 to 1949 was John Layton Stewart.

41:58 John Layton Stewart was originally, now he's the pretend ambassador to the Republic of China called Taiwan, was in the CIA as part of, again, it had a different name at the time, Office of Policy Coordination, the covert operations area.

42:27 And his area of expertise was the Asian Pacific Theater. He's one of the guys that was helping move Chiang Kai-shek to KMT and his KMT to Burma. It was called Project Paper. They also, he was involved in some of the air supply missions to some of the KMT left behind in China.

42:55 to launch guerrilla operations into China against Mao. And again, this is after Chiang Kai-shek has lost the Civil War. The next one was Karl Rankin. Just before Karl Rankin shows up in 1950 through 1953, which was the full time that we were in the Korean War, he was in Singapore. What was he doing in Singapore? Well,

43:29 He was actively involved in the UK's operation in Malaya. Malaya, for those of you who don't know, was the precursor to Vietnam. The use of concentration camps, the use of Agent Orange, the use of torture, and all of that stuff was a UK creation in Malaya. That's where this guy was. Well, he was technically in Singapore, but he was helping with those operations.

44:00 also providing covert support for militias inside of that country, Malaya, and the use of psychological operations. After he left Taiwan, he became the ambassador to Yugoslavia in 1958 to 1961. During his time there, the CIA ran stay-behind networks into Yugoslavia while they were setting up

44:31 setting them up in Western Europe, and they funneled arms to anti-Tito Croatian immigrants. That obviously was a huge big deal at the time inside of Yugoslavia. On the CIA side, the first station chief was Raymond Piers. Who's Raymond Piers? Raymond Piers was a former OSS veteran turned CIA.

45:05 who parachuted into Burma and mainland China in support of the KMT Army. He also set up the agency's first permanent Western Enterprise Inc. It's a front company that was used inside of Taiwan to funnel money to covert operations, primarily the KMT Army. He also...

45:41 was dual-hatted as the station chief and the chief of technical services. And for those of you who are part of the daytime group, the technical service is basically their dirty trick squad. That's the torture. That's all of the instruments that they use to do covert operations. He provided radios.

46:09 opium-financed weapons, and SIGINT capability to the KMT Army. Next, from 53 to 55, was John Baron Jack Hart. He's an ex-OSS officer, too. He was part of the Jedbirds that the British ran into Germany during World War II. He had been working

46:42 in for the office of policy coordination dirty tricks in paramilitary operations in hong kong and vietnam helping the french he moved to the he he moved the station headquarters to a new compound to co-locate the cia agents with the u.s military advisory group

47:13 that was stationed in Taiwan helping with the operations against mainland China. He also was the mastermind behind what was referred to as Operation Black Zen, Z-E-N, which was a clandestine sea and air supply route to Tibet. You know, back when we were aiding the Tibetans to rebel against mainland China.

47:41 by flying some of them to Denver and training them to be terrorists and then reinserting them into Tibet. Yeah, same operation. Next, in 1955 through 58, William Breaux, B-R-O-E, who viewed Rankin, the original guy, as his mentor.

48:09 was actively involved in the putting down of the resistant forces in Philippines after World War II, who wanted their independence from being a U.S. colony, and set up what was referred to as the Red Dragon, which was the logistic pipeline to ship weapons around all of Southeast Asia. He also expanded Taiwan's SIGINT.

48:36 capability under an operation called Cyclone that created listening posts all around China and also coordinating, setting up what was called Black Iron Mountain Psychological Warfare School to send the Asians to teach them how to conduct psychological operations. He also

49:06 signed off on the first training of special forces from a newly built school outside of Taipei, turning Taiwan into the CIA's forward hub for future Indochina and Indonesia sabotage schemes. And of course, you can't leave Taiwan without talking about the political warfare.

49:38 Cadre Academy, which was founded in 1951 as soon as we set Chiang Kai-shek up in business on the island of Formosa, now called Taiwan. Its mission, as stated in their own literature, ideological warfare, psychological operations, counter-subversion, run jointly by Chiang Chen-ku, which was

50:10 the son of shane kyshek with cia advisors from the cia station it was designed to be a three-year course plus six months training in special operations ran by the u.s military advisory group and the cia's technical service division the curriculum included guerrilla tactics stay behind networks

50:45 Propaganda, assassinations, narcotic finance logistics taught by OSS, former OSS and CIA instructors. And what's really interesting is where you see these people show up. One of the graduates, Lieutenant Colonel Lee Sing Ming, who graduated the political warfare.

51:18 cadre in 1956, shows up in Italy. Not kidding, Italy. He becomes a liaison to the P2 Masonic Lodge. That's the secret meeting place for all of Operation Gladio leadership to hide behind. He supplied Beretta submachine guns and C4 for the 1969

51:50 Piazza Fontana bombing. Major Chen Wen Ho was a 58 graduate and he also did some duty in Rome. He was there from 1972 to 1975 training Norden Nuovo, New Order, cells in false flag bomb making. And for those of you who's followed me for a long time,

52:21 You understand that New Order was one of the segments of Operation Gladio inside of Italy. They also, some of these political warfare graduates, show up in Latin America as part of Operation Condor. Lieutenant Colonel Josio Min Zen, a 1960 graduate, became an advisor to Pinochet and the Dina.

52:55 which was their national police slash intelligence slash torture slash disappearing people organization. He was there from 1974 to 1978. He ran interrogation center Villa Grimaldi and coordinated the cross-border hit teams that murdered ex-Chilean ambassador Orlando Ladier, who we know also had Cuban exiles.

53:29 working with them. Captain Sei Li Fu, who graduated in 1961, became a special advisor to Argentina's SIDE, which is their version of DINA. He handled communications from 1975 to 1976 and also was an advisor in assassination programs inside of Argentina. Major Cao?

54:02 Ten Say graduated in 1959. He was in Latin America training Bolivian paramilitary under Colonel Luis Arce Gomez. He was also present at the 1980 cocaine coup, as it was referred to, that installed General Garcia Mesa. You had graduates.

54:33 from the political warfare cadre that were hired by the Nugent Hand Bank to run the Taipei branch, laundering heroin dollars from Burma and channeling them to Latin America juntas to buy weapons. Nice group of people.

55:04 Now, obviously, in our work, we covered the School of America first because many of their graduates went on to the Political Warfare Cadre Academy. It's almost like a phase two. So I did a little bit of research on who those people were. Who were some of the people that...

55:33 went to School of Americas in Panama, Fort Benning, and then went on to the political warfare cadre. Between 1966 and 1974, the U.S. Army School of Americas handpicked at least six Latin American officers to attend the Warfare Cadre Academy. Lieutenant Colonel Jose Martinez from Argentina

56:03 graduated the School of Americas in 65 and went to the political warfare cadre in 1967. He became the DINA operations chief as part of Operation Condor. Captain Hugo Barrera from Bolivia graduated the School of Americas in 66. Two years later, he shows up in Taiwan and he became Garcia Meza.

56:35 Mesa's Interior Intelligence Chief. Major Manuel Contreras from Chile attended the School of Americas in 64. He graduated from the Political Warfare Cadre in 69. And he returned and created Pinochet's and became one of the first directors for Pinochet's DINA program.

57:06 Again, they were largely responsible for all of the assassinations in Chile. Lieutenant Colonel Luis Arce Gomez from Bolivia went to School of America in 1967. He went on to Taiwan in 1970 and became a key planner in the 1980 cocaine coup. So you can see there's a huge overlap there.

57:38 Captain Julio Cesar Fuentes, Argentina, School of America's graduate in 1969, went to the Political Warfare Cadre Academy in 72. He becomes the Argentina SIDE's Condor Communications Officer. Major Hugo Banzer Suarez from Bolivia.

58:07 graduated School of America in 1968, went to the Political Warfare Cadre Academy in 74, he became the future dictator who integrated Taiwan advisors into his counterinsurgency schools. So there you go. Direct correlation. And if you research

58:35 Who today, because, you know, we don't technically recognize we've got this one China policy and all that other crap. But if you look at the countries that today have official Taiwan relationships, almost all of them are in Latin America. And that's the reason why. OK, so just a few overviews of the domestic terror.

59:08 that Operation Gladio was used for, because again, it was never used for fighting communism. It was 100% of the time used for domestic terrorism and international terrorism. In Italy, you have the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing, 16 dead. In 1980, the Bologna train station blast killed 85 people, injured many more.

59:35 Both of them carried out by the organization we just mentioned, Ordine Nuovo, which is New Order, as well as the Avantgardia Nationali, which was orchestrated by the Italian military intelligence called the SID, as well as the P2 Masonic Lodge.

1:00:02 And the whole purpose of those were to ensure people voted the right way, seeking bigger government, more protection, more safety. In Belgium, you had in the 1980s, the Brabant supermarket massacres, leaving 28 dead, where the random shooter would show up and mow down women and children in supermarket grocery stores. Some of them actually went in and killed a bunch of people in the grocery store.

1:00:32 A guy that was part of the planning of those was a Nazi by the name of Paul Latinus, L-A-T-I-N-U-S. In France, you had the Service Action Civique, which is SAC. There was an attack in 1982 using the exact same playbook.

1:01:01 There's many more. Those are just a handful of examples. Some of the international operations, if you go to Operation Condor, you find obviously the 1973 Chilean coup and Pinochet's DINA, Argentina's SIDE as part of Operation Condor. They're instructors.

1:01:29 None other than Stefano Del Ciesi, who was from Italy, an Operation Gladio operative. Kloss Barbie, SS officer. And Michael Townley from CIA made Adina officer to ensure the continuity between the two. Condor's assassination squads that killed Orlando Lettier.

1:01:59 um ledier in dc carlos pratz in buenos aires bernardo layton in rome basically using gladio weapons from their caches across the world you had the cuban exiles which of course were our gladio um that uh also assassinated diplomats from chile in mexico city in 1976

1:02:32 What's an interesting aspect of that one is they left Mexico City flying leased C-123s, which was ours, and later used, those exact aircraft were later used in the gun running to the Contras. So you can definitely see how all of these things,

1:03:05 operated together. So again, just to remind you, the NATO Allied Clandestine Committee, ACC, and the Clandestine Planning Committee, CPC, ran these operations. So very, very interesting. I did want to go back and talk a little bit about Lyman Lemesker, one of my

1:03:37 favorite evil operators in the story. And I mentioned to you about his involvement in the setting up the secret meeting, Operation Sunrise, being Eisenhower's logistics chief. So all of that is intricate. But he shows up later in the story as the author of Operation Northwood, which if you read through that document, it is a Gladio operations document. It is

1:04:07 talking about using cuban exiles that were trained by the cia in miami florida dressed up as castro cubans to commit terrorist attacks bombing ships flying drone aircraft into buildings where have i heard that before um blowing up uh at least four major u.s cities with um a series of bombs in order

1:04:39 to make the story that Castro had done all of these bad things to justify a ground invasion of Cuba. Because again, in Operation Gladio, Cuba was kind of a linchpin in their operations. Most of the opium and heroin coming in from this operation transited Cuba.

1:05:06 It was separated, cut with sugar, all kinds of different things, and then piped into the United States. The loss of Cuba with Castro there was catastrophic to them temporarily. They had to come up with other ways. A lot of that operation in the immediate aftermath of Castro coming to power was moved to the Dominican Republic. And that's a whole nother story because, of course, we controlled.

1:05:33 We eventually install a dictator there as well. And you find a lot of the same operators transiting the Dominican Republic off and on throughout the follow on to moving that operation out of Cuba. It eventually goes to Panama and Colombia and several of the other countries in Latin America to include actually growing it here because we had much more control because we basically controlled those governments down there.

1:06:01 But again, that's only one aspect of all of this. The major aspect of this, that's just a funding stream for Operation Gladio and terrorism. The major reason for destabilizing these areas is so that this international syndicate could go and privatize and buy up all the businesses and ensure that they had slave labor available to them.

1:06:29 to offshore our jobs to these foreign countries. And that was done on scale after the destabilization and the overthrow of Latin American countries. So timing is definitely important to that entire operation. So what happens after he drafts Operation Northwood, he presents it to Robert McNamara, who

1:06:56 looks and kind of just shrugs his shoulder and says hey let's take that to jfk and of course jfk said yeah we're not killing americans um to justify a ground invasion of cuba are you out of your mind so he fires lyman lemonsker but because of the bay of pigs he didn't want to like fire fire him because the military already didn't like him and so the leadership anyway um

1:07:21 So he just moves them. He takes them out of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and moves them over to NATO. Yeah, the same NATO in charge of Operation Gladio. So that's an indication to me that I don't believe JFK understood where this thing was being ran out of, because later we find out that there were OAS, which is part of the French Operation Gladio units present the day JFK was killed in Dallas, Texas.

1:07:51 So and Lyman Lemonsker is in NATO while Charles de Gaulle is attempted assassination one after another. So Lyman Lemonsker is a critical linchpin in all of this. So moving on, we find and why did.

1:08:28 Why were there so many attacks on Charles de Gaulle? That's actually a very important piece of this puzzle, because these people wanted to leave Africa basically colonized, controlled completely by outside sources. And at the time, Algeria was fighting for their freedom from France.

1:08:57 Charles de Gaulle was in favor of granting them their freedom. That created among their international syndicate members a lot of hate for Charles de Gaulle because they did not want to give up any of the French colonies in Africa, not the international syndicate, because they were taking all of their resources. So JFK had communicated with Charles de Gaulle and was also very supportive of giving.

1:09:26 Algeria their freedom. And so there's a big operation that went on inside of Algeria and Otto Skorzeny was in Algeria training paramilitary people to sabotage the operations of the freedom fighters in Algeria against the French forces. So he's training the French forces to sabotage these freedom fighters.

1:09:55 And they were using the techniques of basically stay behind, trying to recruit some of the primarily Muslim operators behind the scenes to get them to turn on their fellow Algerians. And eventually Algeria won their freedom. But a lot of bloodshed happened as a result of that. And Charles de Gaulle was hated by the international syndicate.

1:10:25 for giving them their freedom. And then, of course, we also found Otto Skorzeny in the Congo. He was in the area of Katanga, which if you guys remember, Katanga was the primary area of the Congo. The Congo was a very large country. The primary area within the Congo

1:10:51 where their uranium, gold, diamonds, and resources were, was an area called Kitanga. And when Lumumba got elected in their first election after being a colony of Belgians for 350 years, Lumumba had control of the uranium. There was a concession that had been in existence with a mining company in Belgium. Lumumba and...

1:11:24 the Congo got pennies on the dollar. They were all uneducated. They had no health system at all. And Lumumba wanted that money for the Congo. He did not want to be paying somebody that had been stealing their money for the last 350 years, rightfully so. So he requested a meeting with Eisenhower and his vice president, Nixon. Both of them turned him down, but he comes to America anyway.

1:11:54 And he meets with the Secretary of State. And he said, look, I'll give you all the uranium. I just want Belgium cut out of the deal. I want to deal directly with you. And I want to use that money for my agenda to make the Congo a viable country. I can't do it when I'm giving the majority of that concession money to the Belgians. And we basically told him, pay on sand, go back home. We don't really care. So Lumumba.

1:12:25 dismisses all of the Belgium military. And for some reason, the Belgium had told Lumumba that you can replace all of the enlisted people in your military, but all of the officer corps are Belgium officers and they're not leaving. And Lumumba was like, the hell they're not, get out. I'm not doing business with you anymore. And then of course,

1:12:51 the imf cuts him off there's economic warfare going back to that um the cia immediately starts recruiting the president which was largely at that point a ceremonial position the prime minister was in charge um and they co-op him mubatu um and um basically bribed him to fire which he doesn't even have the authority the prime minister and then they kidnapped lumumba

1:13:20 And three days before JFK comes into office with no foreknowledge that any of this was happening during the transition period, Eisenhower signs a finding to kill Lumumba. And so they kidnap him. They kill him on January 17th. And it's a couple of weeks into his presidency that JFK even finds out any of this happened.

1:13:44 We also know by reading Major Gamis' book on Otto Skorzeny that he was intimately involved in all of these operations because Katanga, in the middle of all of this turmoil, starts a civil war with the Congo. So Lumumba needs weapons. The U.S. isn't going to give him weapons. NATO's not going to give him weapons. So who's his only person to call? The Soviet Union. When he made that call,

1:14:13 And Eisenhower labeled him a communist for making that phone call after he'd been cut off by everybody else. And the Soviet Union tried to help him. But by that time, it was too late. Katanga basically defeats the initial forces that show up, stick a flag in the ground and say, we're a new country. And who recognizes that? The United States, all of NATO. So we have this brand new country out of nowhere called Katanga.

1:14:42 Until, of course, Lumumba is done away with and then Katanga eventually becomes part of the Congo again. And their name is changed to Zaire and blah, blah, blah.

1:14:55 A lot of the rest of the history goes along. But the important part of that is understanding how this is tied to this entire operation, because you have the same players. The CIA station chief drove around with Lumumba's body in the back of a car for two weeks. And he eventually gets boiled in acid because they don't want anybody finding his body. And we don't even find out about that part until a Belgian NCO within the last several years.

1:15:23 comes up with the gold tooth that was taken out of what was left of Lumumba and returned it to his family in the Congo. That's how we found out about that part. So a horrendous story, but illustrative of how this entire operation works and the fact that it was a global operation. It was not confined just to Europe.

1:15:49 which most people believe it was. It was not. You find these same operators all over. As I mentioned, the Cuban exiles being our Operation Gladio, you find them in Nicaragua. You found them in a lot of Operation Condor in Latin America. Felix Rodriguez was in El Salvador. He was part of Brigade 2506. He was in...

1:16:17 He visited several countries down there, but basically all surrounding Nicaragua, because that was the Contra operation where we were trying to overthrow the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. And we were selling weapons via Israel to Iran. That's how you get to the Iran Contra. That involves all of this as well. Reagan had activities going on in Angola. Who shows up? The Cuban exiles.

1:16:44 So it's all part of this global destabilization, put in the regime that you want to deal with and extort all of their resources for the international syndicate. As we found out in the recent book, Hidden Terrors, the CIA was actually running an operation of performing HR functions for this international syndicate.

1:17:10 One of the companies doing business in Uruguay would give the CIA desk chief, Philip Agee, a list of people to run through the CIA to see if they should hire him or not. So the CIA is literally working for these international oligarchs as an HR function. So we also have Paul Helliwell that shows up.

1:17:44 as part of this overall operation as well. Like, for example, his sea supply operations. He runs the Thai consul in Miami. So why would Thailand have a consulate office in Miami? Because they're running all the drugs.

1:18:07 the cia paid the national police force which by the way was part of operation uh office of public safety too um the usaid office of public safety went into taiwan and trained all their national police as they did like 50 some other countries and the national police chief was given 35 million dollars to be able to have a blank check written to the cia

1:18:36 in every seaport and every airport to be able to go through customs in thailand without anything being checked so the drug shipments transited thailand and the guy who set up that operation with sea supply with william polly with the china lobby and all of that in southeast asia is the thai consulate guy in miami

1:19:06 He is also the one that set up Castle Bank and he is intimately involved in everything Cuban exile related for as long as he was alive in Miami running these programs. So again, you go back to that original wiring diagram of the wagon wheel where you have drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, and human trafficking.

1:19:35 all encompassing Operation Gladio with blackmail as the grease that makes the wagon wheel turn. So these operations were allowed to run for decades without anyone knowing anything about them until 1990 because they had blackmail on everybody. You have in 1990 on the 2nd of August,

1:20:07 Prime Minister Andriotti in Italy, go to the Senate and make an announcement that yes, Operation Gladio exists. Yes, all these people were involved in it. And we promised, pinky swear, we're not going to do it anymore. And all of Europe was so outraged that he had basically, but at that point in Italy, it was beyond deniability. Lucio Galli, the P2 Grand,

1:20:37 masonic lodge guy had a list of over 800 people that list had been exposed his daughter had it in a secret compartment in a suitcase the suitcase was searched the the list was revealed so they were beyond deniability at that point so he had to he he tried to limit the amount of information but he got so incensed a few months later when all of the rest of the

1:21:05 European NATO members denied they had anything to do with Operation Gladio and that the stay behind networks and that obviously it was just something that the Italians cooked up, that he came back in public in November with a list of the attendees at one of the NATO planning meetings the month before in October and said, no, no, here's who attended for you, Germany. Here's who attended for you, England.

1:21:35 Sweden, whoever it was that was in attendance, and he named names. At that point, it was undeniable Operation Gladio was exposed in Europe. You heard almost nothing about it in the United States. And why is that? Because on the 2nd of August, 1990, the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq happened.

1:22:05 The week before that, knowing that Andriotti was going to be making this announcement, someone in the State Department decided it was fine for April Gillespie to tell Saddam Hussein, hey, if in the next few days you want to invade Kuwait, no problem. We're not going to attack you. We don't really care because they had an ongoing oil issue going on. So he did. And he did so on the exact same day.

1:22:35 that Andriotti got up and announced Operation Gladio. And so for the next six months, especially here in the United States, we can't talk to the press about that. We're busy planning war. And so basically the next six months is the lead up to Desert Storm 1 and Gladio kind of conveniently got swept underneath the rug. Do I think there's a correlation? Most likely. Do I have any proof of it? No.

1:23:04 It's very coincidental that that happened on the exact same day. So I want to finish this up by talking about my number two favorite guy in this story because it ties all of the pieces together. And that's William Polly. William Polly is representative of how the hive works. The go-between between business, the State Department.

1:23:35 and the cia and there's very few people although there are some that tell that story better than william polly because not only did william polly work as a assistant secretary of state he also was an ambassador he was definitely cia and he was an executive he owned the curtis aircraft franchise

1:24:04 in Southeast Asia. He's the one that supplied all of the fighters to Chiang Kai-shek in the newly established Taiwan. He also helped procure funding for sea supply in order to give him his own Navy as well. So he also, because he's a multimillionaire living where? Miami, of course. He co-founded the Flying Tigers.

1:24:37 which turned into civil air transport, which turned into Air America. Paul Helliwell was one of his best friends. And he also had a very large investment in Cuba. He owned the entire bus system in Cuba. He also owned several sugar plantations in Cuba. He was intimately involved in the mafia when they were in Cuba.

1:25:10 Under Batista. Polly also worked on PB Success, which was the Guatemalan coup. And his involvement in that coup was with Tommy the Cork Corkerin. If you don't know who he is, definitely look him up. He is definitely worth the look. William Polly had a very large yacht because he was a multimillionaire.

1:25:46 He used his yacht to pile in a bunch of CIA trained Cuban exiles to go attack Cuba. Sailed over there, dropped him off for them to launch an internal attack against Cuba. He also was a Pan Am executive. Now, Pan Am was used by the CIA routinely and they had CIA agents.

1:26:18 embedded in their international operations because it provided one of the perfect covers for CIA agents to go anywhere. So it's not surprising that William Polly was an executive working for Pan Am as well. So I also wanted to add that in Legacy of Ashes, William Polly met

1:26:57 with President Eisenhower at the time. William Polly was a registered Democrat, but that really didn't matter because this is a uniparty thing. Eisenhower said that they needed some fast cash to take to the Pentagon to buy three planes for the Guatemalan coup. William Polly left the White House, went to the bank down the street.

1:27:32 withdrew $150,000, walked into the Pentagon, bought three planes that were used in the Guatemalan coup, and they were transferred to Guatemala. That's how much power William Polly had. And I thought I would just add, I think it's weird. He actually was in the process when he died in a really weird kind of way, suicided.

1:28:04 that he was in the middle of publishing his memoir. It is now located at the George Marshall Library. And yes, I plan on visiting. In the book, Prelude to Terror, which is on the Colonel's Corner as a book review, it is alleged that the Brown Brothers Harriman provided CIA cover for Prescott Bush.

1:28:36 Bush was at the time working out of 44 Wall Street. Bush, as we know, also was elected to the Senate and served on the Armed Services Committee. And Bush was on the board of Pan Am at the same time William Polly was, which is really weird. And do you know what else they had in common? Later on, Zapata offshore.

1:29:11 oil which of course was george h.w bush william polly was instrumental in setting up an oil deal for zapata oil with a mexican oil company that's really weird like totally weird in the great heroine coup book which i've read we've not done a review on it claire chenault a guy by the name of willauer

1:29:47 And William Polly and E. Howard Hunt all were involved in setting up the heroin network, which we just talked about, out of Taiwan. And they were all in some fashion involved in the Guatemalan coup. Also involved in the Guatemalan coup was Lucien Koenig.

1:30:20 who we first came in contact with as the French guy in Vietnam that basically gets bought out by the CIA. And while he is still pretending to represent the French and the French connection in Vietnam, he's actually working for the CIA. Also, the guy that we came across a long time ago, Warbell III.

1:30:49 He was located outside of Fort Benning and outside of Atlanta, kind of in the middle of the two. He's the guy that was a weapons trafficker who ends up getting killed in L.A. with a whole bunch of shenanigans. That's a long story. But they also collectively were involved in supporting the KMT.

1:31:19 Army for Chiang Kai-shek and worked with the World Anti-Communist League with a guy by the name of Carlos Marcelo. And of course, you find all of these same people that were involved in the Bay of Pigs and many of the same people involved in Watergate. Tommy the Cork, Corcoran, was a lawyer. He had a law firm in D.C.

1:31:53 One of his clients was none other than Cornelius Vander Star, CV Star, the guy we've talked about quite a bit on Alpha Warrior Show. He's the guy that set up the insurance company over in China and eventually has to leave because Chiang Kai-shek gets kicked out. That company eventually becomes AIG. He also...

1:32:26 cv star under his insurance company did a lot of business with the mafia ran union pensions all out of tommy the cork corcoran's law firm he represented quite a few mafia people his law partner was william youngman corcoran's clients included united fruit

1:32:59 Chiang's brother-in-law, T.V. Soon, S-O-O-N-G. He also was the lawyer of record for Civil Air Transport, which becomes Air America, a CIA proprietary. Corcoran was the pass-through from United Fruit because the Guatemalan coup was done on behalf of United Fruit. Corcoran was the middleman. He and William Polly

1:33:29 are getting all of the resources together for united fruit using the cia to overthrow the government of guatemala because the government of guatemala wanted united fruit out of their country because they owned all of the farmland and the election was a mandate for the guatemalan president to get united fruit out of the country because they didn't believe like we don't believe that a foreign country ought to

1:33:58 ought to own their farmland. But that was not to be. Also, Tommy Corcoran was involved in Double Check Airlines. Double Check Airlines, you guys may remember, was a CIA front company used by United Fruit and the CIA. That is the company that hired the four Alabama Air National Guard people that went to work for the CIA.

1:34:28 to prepare for the Bay of Pigs down in Guatemala. They ran a big training base there to train Cuban exiles to be pilots, but they also had the four Alabama National Guards down there as instructors. They eventually ended up, there was more than four, but four of them got killed because their planes got shot down because they ran out of Cuban exile pilots to fly the missions.

1:34:58 William Polly also worked as an arms dealer to supply the KMT outside of Congress's prohibition to do so. And he did it with Santo Trafficani and the Cuban exiles help. So very interesting. That, in a nutshell, is Operation Gladio.

1:35:28 And you can see by the crossbreeding, I mean, obviously there's hundreds of other players, but that's a sampling of how you can go from as far east as China, Taiwan, the Philippines, and you see all of these operations. And you can go inside of America. You can go to the southern cone of...

1:35:57 South America. You can go to Africa. You can find these inside of Europe. You can find these operations all over the globe. We just recently found stay-behinds in Iran before the overthrow of Mossadegh, and that literally blew me away. The most troubling part of that one was the use of a local tribe in southern Iran.

1:36:25 They were trained by the military advisor group, the MAG, that had been set up inside of Iran in order to destabilize that, to overthrow the government of Mossadegh. So if you dig, and two years later, I had never come across stay-behinds in Iran. I just stumbled across it. You can pretty much find them almost anywhere in...

1:36:54 this coup environment. At some point, you're going to uncover there were stay behinds as part of this destabilization. And of course, more recently, as opposed to using stay behinds, they use USAID and like

1:37:16 literally taxpayer funded people to go in and do destabilization under the auspices of USAID. We've covered the Office of Public Safety. There's just so many tentacles. But the good news in all of this is apparently quite a few people inside of the Trump administration knows about these operations and are going to the heart of the fund.

1:37:44 funding aspect of it both with the narcotics trafficking you see every day large um a large uh capture of illicit drugs being um recovered inside of the united states the takedown of usaid the takedown of the dinastris mafia family in 2019 by the trump administration

1:38:12 These mechanisms are being disassembled around the world and all of us are going to be much better off as this operation unfolds. But I see almost on a daily basis a positive step forward in the dismantling of this network. And so hopefully that gives you a little bit better insight.

1:38:38 adds quite a bit more information than i had the first time i did a gladio 101 and um i'm glad everybody's here uh participating in it i'm seeing all of your comments thank you guys again for being here um please share this um give a thumbs up and if someone

1:38:59 is genuinely interested in knowing what Operation Gladio is, please use this as a reference for them to be able to understand the scope of what has gone on around the world in our name. Because these operations have not made us safer. It has actually put more Americans at risk when these operations, because they're not done invisible to the people in the countries. These countries all know.

1:39:28 when the CIA shows up. They all know when the Office of Public Safety showed up. They saw firsthand the CIA's involvement in election meddling around the world, just as we saw it in 2016 and in 2020. This has been a very visible program around the world. It was not, although they tried to do it stealthily, it was not stealthily done because people died. People were tortured.

1:39:57 They're very aware of the government organizations in America that's behind it. And a lot of people will never trust Americans again because they had family members adversely affected by these programs. And they find it impossible that we don't know. And I've talked to some of them. How could you not know your government was doing this? Again, I can tell you, I spent 30 years in the military. I had no idea.

1:40:26 that the military was involved. I had no idea that the State Department was involved. It is completely possible here because there has been a monopoly on the control of information. That didn't just happen. It is not just Democrats that did it. It was Republicans and Democrats that has done that and been involved in all of this. And so I just ask you to share this liberally.

1:40:52 with all of your friends and family so that everyone can understand. Because I do think you, and I'm not saying people shouldn't travel overseas, but you need to be aware of this and take necessary precautions because family members, I've read several books where people are, they just out and out say, I've read newspaper articles that they will never forgive America.

1:41:21 for the pain and agony that has been inflicted on so many people around the world. So that's it. Thanks for being here. Take care.
