0:00 do on this book's spooks. You literally could do this whole book, but again, we're not going to because most of this material we've covered. The next chapter in the sequence is a deep dive into Robert Mayhew and the roles he played in situations like the Onassis feud with his

0:27 Somehow attached. Semi brother-in-law. Once removed. However that relationship played out. Depending on what you. He calls. The author calls him his brother-in-law. But if you actually look at. How that whole thing went. It's very gray. But it is basically like a brother-in-law. Once removed. So. It talks about. His name was Stavros. Nekarchos.

0:57 However you say that. Obviously, they're both Greek. And Stavros was very jealous of Onassis. And mixed into all of this, of course, is primarily the Nixon administration as you go along. John Mitchell. There's a whole bunch of different names in here. But again, it's interspersed with Intertel.

1:29 And we're not going to go through all of this chapter in depth. And of course, it brought in people like the CIA. And it's in this chapter. We'll talk about it a little bit more later on in the show. But it was in here that the author first mentions the International Petroleum Cartel.

1:55 which he describes as a monopoly of world oil reserves that was dependent on its members' absolute control over each and every process, the discovery, the production, the storage, the refinement, the shipment, and the local distribution. And that's important because that's how Howard Hughes was part of this. His father that created Hughes Tool Company

2:23 had a patent on a particular dye that was necessary for the petroleum. And he was the only one that produced it, which is basically the preponderance of the wealth that was accumulated that Howard Hughes eventually took over, which was interesting to me because I had not read that before. So anyway, that whole chapter is about that.

2:55 Then it talks about how Robert Mayhew became Howard Hughes' main man. Now, if you look at Howard Hughes' other activities, a lot of the work that he did, he was at the time the Elon Musk of his time. He was the largest government contractor at the time. He was in everything. He had clearances.

3:23 to see anything and everything. And Robert Mayhew, who we know is attached to the CIA, was his right-hand man. And so that made for some very interesting dealings. And one of the things, as Howard Hughes got more eccentric and became basically a recluse in the hotel out in

3:55 Las Vegas, people were able to control him more and more. And we talked a little bit when we did the Alpha Warrior show on Intertel, how that control happened and the fact that it was Intertel that arranged what the author and Robert Mayhew eventually went on to say was his kidnapping. And of course, Intertel

4:22 was a subsidiary of Resorts International, which is also CIA. So it gets to be a very interesting kind of semicircle where you end up realizing that most of the wealth of Howard Hughes was controlled by the CIA in one aspect or another, whether it was when Robert Mayhew was associated with him.

4:52 because he did everything. Or when he was incommunicado under the protection or kidnapping of Intertel and he was outside the country, which the guy was worth a ton of money. So that's not insignificant. And he also, if you guys remember the story that we told about

5:22 What was his name? His name is, hold on a second. I'll find it here. Galendez. Galendez is the professor that was kidnapped and taken to Trujillo down in the Dominican Republic. He has several pages of that story as well. And Robert Mayhew was the one that hired the kidnappers.

5:54 A lot of information about that. And then the author moves on to, let me get past Mayhew. There's two chapters of nothing but Mayhew information. And his relationship with Santo Traficani, Carlos Marcello in New Orleans, blah, blah, blah. Okay. Then.

6:36 We get to, again, lots here. Trying to get to the page. The next part is all about Intertel. And we did the entire show on Intertel on Alpha. So that was covered. If you guys haven't watched that, I would suggest you do that. It talks about who all created it, who was in it. The fact that...

7:13 who the Inertel directors were. Then we get to what we're going to spend basically the majority of the time on. Chapter 12, the title of the chapter is it started with the Prince of Foam, perhaps. Well, who is the Prince of the Foams? Well, according to the author, Sothians,

7:46 And I'm going to spell his name. S-O-S-T-H-E-N-E-S. And his last name is B-E-H-N. I'm just going to refer to him as Ben. Ben is described as a flamboyant wheeler dealer. Expert at playing each side against the other. He is the founder and chairman of International Telephone and Telegraph.

8:22 ITT, a company that I've spoke of for the last four years because they seem to be everywhere in these stories. And keep in mind, for those of you that are new, ITT is a company that has Telephone and Telegraph, a very, very old company. They, even before World War II, were intimately

8:53 connected to these oligarchs and were a source of intelligence. Anything that was telegraphed anywhere in the world over their lines, and they were in a lot of different countries. And in many of the countries, they were the only telegraph capability in countries. So they saw everything. And they shared this information.

9:25 with the international syndicate to help them get ahead of the news. They also controlled a preponderance of the telephone networks in many different countries. And they did exactly the same thing back during the operator to spy on people. And they made a big business in selling information, which is basically how they got these monopolies.

9:58 So they would coerce or bribe the countries to allow them. And keep in mind, this is just normal telephone and telegraph. This is operating post-World War II alongside crypto AG. And crypto AG is the encrypted communications between countries, their embassies, all of the secretive.

10:26 things that the whole reason you buy an encrypted system is because you don't want people spying on you. You don't want to send this over the normal telegram communication systems. So, but the CIA had a back door. And that's why last night when I was on Steve Murray's round table, there's not, and I just saw Tucker's interview with Kim.com and he says it again.

10:52 There does not exist a communication system that the CIA and their peers don't have access because it's not allowed. They will arrest you. They will classify your patent. They will do whatever. You will have no communication system that they can't spy on you. And that's sold to you as, quote unquote, freedom of speech and democracy.

11:24 So the author says that Benz had a global empire and he was referred to as the prince of telephones. He had power over the world's communication and he used it. The empire he founded established the die from which subsequent multinationals would be struck.

11:59 From the beginning, he recognized that all nations demand control of their own telecommunication systems. To accommodate that demand, yet obtain monopolies over those systems, he established a series of quasi-national phone companies, each staffed and managed by natives of the country in which they operated, each tied through a board of directors to the country's political power center.

12:27 but every single one of them was owned by the ITT. Because each monopoly was responsible to the government of the country, and because all were threatened by the possibility of ex-appropriation, Ben's politics were those of conservative boosterism. He supported any regime in any country in which ITT operated.

12:58 and pretended to support communist countries. Again, he was in all of the countries. So there was no contradiction in his enthusiasm, either for Franco's Spain, Peron's Argentina, Hitler, the Queen of England. He serviced them all. He was American by default. He was born in...

13:39 the Virgin Islands, which we purchased from Denmark. He considered himself a citizen of his company. We know that he participated in World War II by filing secret reports on a variety of matters to American officials. And when the guy wrote this book, a large amount of those communications with U.S. officials were still classified.

14:22 He also provided copies of private telegrams and telexes sent by governments and individuals through ITT channels. By virtue of his monopolies over the world's communications, the Prince of Telephones was also very rich in both monetary terms and intelligence terms. He was considered a secret hero.

14:54 He would receive America's highest civilian honor, the Medal of Merit. There were considerable evidence that ITT and some of its subsidiaries provided services to both sides. In South America, ITT facilities served as cover for FBI and Nazi intelligence agencies, both of them.

15:29 As early as 1933, Ben had met with Hitler in Berlin. In deference to advice given, at least two top Nazi officials were placed on the directorate of ITT's European company, Dr. Gerhard Westrich, the envoy of General von Rippentrop, and Kurt von Schroeder.

16:03 By the time hostilities broke out between the U.S. and Germany, Ben was well regarded in the council of both countries. Clearly vital to the U.S. military and economic interests, ITT facilities had also been carefully and deliberately integrated into the Nazi war machine. Following a series of meetings with Hermann Goring, Ben encouraged ITT's

16:32 Lorenz subsidiary to purchase 28% of the Frock Wolf firm, manufacturer of bombers that would be used to sink U.S. allied ships. ITT, in other words, by expanding into armaments and ingratiating itself into the Nazi infrastructure, became virtually immune to ex-appropriation by anyone.

17:02 That was the advantage and the strategy that he used over and over again. In Germany, the Frock Wolf manufactured bombers he funded, while in the U.S., another ITT subsidiary produced high-frequency detection binders designed to help those same ships to sink Navy submarines. This is literally...

17:35 Getting rich on both sides of the war. Interestingly, in Spain, ITT executives from the U.S., Germany, Latin America, and England were able to meet on an estate of Spanish aristocrats to discuss the fortunes of war over a glass of sherry.

18:06 And throughout this period, ITT facilities were used to communicate intelligence to both the Allies and the Axis. While Ben himself reported directly to the U.S. Secretary of War, and then kind of with a dotted line to Goring, finally, while Secretary of War Henry Stimson relied upon Ben's secret communiques for the information they contained.

18:36 Ben was nevertheless placed under surveillance by the FBI while having a wartime tap placed on his telephone conversations. How ironic. He was brilliant in the way that he maneuvered himself. And the author, ironically, refers to him as the third force. Where have we heard that? The third way. Throughout the Second World War.

19:14 He established a prototype that was later called the Milo Minderbender in Catch-22, a show. In fact, even the most straightforward newspaper accounts detailing his repossession of ITT's facilities in France and Belgium and Holland had an interesting tone to them. While the Germans...

19:44 line was being rolled back, Bien and his envoys were seen very close to the front lines, basically re-establishing his companies along the way. He was designated as a communication advisor to the American army. He arrived in Paris the exact same day it was liberated.

20:16 He toured ITT factories and labs to ensure the reestablishment of his ownership of these facilities. Other ITT executives were provided uniforms of American Army generals so that they could intermix with the military as they proceeded forward to secure all of his

20:48 facilities because what you did not want to have happen and the reason this is all going on is because the american officials who knew what he was doing and knew that he was on both sides because they met in madrid you could not have normal army people going into these facilities and finding out itt had helped the nazis

21:15 It's not because he's being some benevolent guy and trying to reestablish his and get his companies back up and running. They never stopped running. It's so they could secure the facilities. So no one found out this guy was working on both sides, providing information to both combatants and did so in a U.S. Army general uniform.

21:52 So ITT execs, some of whom until recently had been functionaries in the Nazi regime, they moved quickly. In one case, two Frock Wolf aircraft plants disappeared overnight. And why was that? Now, this guy is a major investor in it. They knew what territory was going to be provided to the Russians.

22:21 So ahead of that occupation, they had an entire crew go in and literally disassemble those plants and move them into U.S. and U.K. occupied areas. Because again, he knows how it's going to end. He knows where all the lines are going to get drawn, everything.

22:55 adult life studying ITT and OSS materials, the multinational post-war activities were enabled by none other than Alan Dulles. Besides his gratitude for the intelligence provided by Ben during the war, Dulles is said to have recognized the strategic post-war value of ITT. And that he did because he used it extensively. Dulles wasn't alone.

23:27 A year after the war, James Forrestal articulated the theory that ITT represented an instrument of U.S. foreign policy. In a message to Secretary of State George Marshall, himself in charge of U.S. reconstruction efforts in Europe, Forrestal declared that it was of the utmost

23:53 importance to the national interest in security that all communication facilities in the Western Hemisphere be owned by a hemispheric interest, if possible, by a citizen of the U.S. Forrestal had wanted the U.S. government to provide ITT with loans to buy out all of his competitors in Latin America. Some people reported that that's not what happened.

24:25 But if you go back and you start looking, it looks like that did happen. It just didn't show up on a ledger in the U.S. government. Their buddies helped him out. More than 20 years later in 1967, the firm was awarded a $27 million compensation package for damages sustained for its facilities in Germany. Let that sink in for just a second.

25:09 So the banks and oil companies internationally committed for decades prior to the CIA's founding were similarly blessed with these types of arrangements. And then he introduces the international petroleum cartel. He says that it was a group of American corporations that had a reason to call upon protection. And of course, that protection.

25:41 would be the U.S. government. And he says that even the normal Justice Department attorneys, when they tried to investigate price fixing or anything like that, found themselves blocked by opposition concentrated at the highest levels of the State Department, the Defense Department, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the CIA.

26:08 Repeatedly, oil company documents originating with subsidiaries abroad were subpoenaed only to be blocked. And the Justice Department lawyers told it would jeopardize national security to provide those documents. So he goes on to say that a candor based on the subsidiaries belief that they were not subject to antitrust law and could therefore speak openly about their conspiracies to.

26:43 demolish competition and unfriendly governments you know like the shah of iran whenever and wherever they wanted because they were going to be protected the international petroleum cartel documents that did manage to come to light were stamped secret and top secret after they were subpoenaed

27:15 At one point, a blanket refusal to allow Leonard Emmerglick, responsible for Justice Department case, one particular case, to examine the documents was defended on the basis that Emmerglick had flunked his security clearance. Not the clearance provided by the FBI, but rather one from King Saad in Saudi Arabia.

27:44 So he's perfectly fine to see secret documents in the United States as part of the DOJ. But Standard Oil, Aramco, made sure that the king objected to him seeing any of their documents. And then he, so he then quotes, the assumption always present in the national security argument, Emmerglick testified later.

28:19 was that five major American oil companies were the instruments of U.S. foreign policy. And he identifies those five as Standard Oil of New Jersey, Ciccone Vacuum Oil Company, Standard Oil of California, the Texas Company, and Gulf Oil Corporation. The Justice Department did not agree.

28:49 And in a message to the National Security Council written by Attorney General James McGrainery in 1954, quote, the hazard to national and company interests will result from the disclosure of the facts to the primary guardian of the national security, the government itself. For a year and a half, the defendant companies have obstructed the production of documents.

29:15 Such production being a commonplace in antitrust law enforcement and further obstruction will do a disservice to the manifold of national security interests, which dictate that this government be fully informed on any matter so vital to national defense as petroleum is. So they're literally saying that the government can't have access to documents.

29:44 that reside in the government because of national security for the actual government the AG is responsible for. Later, Emmerglick, who ends up as a professor of law at University of Miami, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, quote, we argued that our country's national security lay in the early disillusion.

30:16 of the existing international petroleum cartel. Attorney General James McGrannery submitted a major policy statement to the National Security Council at the time in which he stated the Sherman Act was described by Chief Justice Hughes as our charter of economic freedom. The Supreme Court has reportedly rejected proof of public benefit and business necessity as justification for cartel operations and has emphasized the

30:46 primacy of economic freedom at the highest value of our economy, which is an oxymoron because cartels are the exact opposite of economic freedom. That's the kind of doublespeak Orwell would be proud of. It goes on, free enterprise can be preserved only by safeguarding it from excess of power.

31:19 governmental, or private. The selective socialization of business in the ancestral home of our free institutions point to the end result of the cartels which flourish and became the outstanding characteristic of the British economy after Great Britain adopted the Import Duties Act of 1932. The World's Petroleum Cartel is an authoritarian

31:46 dominating power over a great and vital world industry in private hands. National security considerations dictate that the most expeditious method be employed to uncover the cartel's acts and effects and put an end to them, unquote. But the Justice Department didn't stand a chance, not because other government departments

32:18 united in their opposition. Well, because they united in their opposition. The State Department produced a background paper prepared by Richard Funkhauser, who later became ambassador to Gabon. He noted, quote, the state has not been able to agree on oil policy within its own walls, let alone develop substantive agreements between other agencies.

32:47 Probably the major impasse comes down to whether the principles of the Sherman Antitrust Act are good or not good for the world and oil, unquote. His paper, which predicted the extraordinary accuracy of Middle East oil embargo and inflationary hikes that we would see later on, called for the state to consider proposals for what would amount to dismantling the cartel. Jack Bloom.

33:23 who we've talked about, great investigator, was an investigator as part of the multinational subcommittee in Congress, questioned him about his paper, Funkhauser. Blum said, what I am especially struck by is the date, September 10th, 1950.

33:52 Because at the same time, you and the State Department, for national security reasons, are proposing these remedies. The people in the Justice Department are proposing the same remedies, meaning the other guy, and in fact bringing a legal action, and they are being sandbagged for national security reasons. I wonder what the explanation is. Funkhauser responded, it was easier for me to write this than it was for...

34:22 the man who was responsible to do it. It takes a command decision on high to say whether going ahead with tearing oil companies apart is really in the U.S. interest, unquote. Besides the pro-cartel solidarity at the top of the government, hinted at in Funkhauser's testimony that oil companies themselves had virtually infiltrated the entire government.

34:50 controlling informational inputs and profoundly influencing policy. Funkhauser's own job came about through his contacts with Standard Oil Nelson Rockefeller. After working for Rockefeller in Venezuela, Funkhauser applied for work at the State Department. He then says, after the war, I went into the State Department and they said, what have you been doing? You are an oil specialist, aren't you? He said, no.

35:20 I'm not an oil specialist. And then he was asked, well, you work for an oil company. He said, yes. Well, that makes you an oil specialist in the State Department. So this, Funkhauser said, was my introduction to the Foreign Service career. Why I became a petroleum attache in Western Europe. Why I ended up in the Middle East. And why I became a petroleum advisor to none other than George.

35:49 McGee of Kerr-McGee. That is like saying you are advising the Encyclopedia Britannica about facts. George McGee is a oil man, a brilliant one, and I'll throw this in for Warhamster, a Rhodes Scholar, and incidentally made millions of dollars after finding his own gas fields in Louisiana. Funkhauser went on telling the Senate,

36:19 At that time, we found that the problems that existed in the Middle East were so complicated that we wanted the best brains available to work on them. And a lot of those brains happened to be oil companies. So under George McGee's leadership, we had regular meetings with the oil companies. The oil companies, after all, command a great deal of intelligence of every aspect of Middle East, not just oil.

36:47 The subservience of middle-level bureaucrats to the oil millionaires who were their superiors and to the counterparts in private indice was not just confined to the State Department. The same pattern existed in the CIA. Established almost 20 years after the infamous Achenary Agreement, the CIA had to develop its own oil expertise virtually from scratch, which is bullshit.

37:19 We know that they hired the lawyers and bankers for the oil companies into the CIA. We'll give the author a little break on that one. Agency personnel were routinely detailed to oil schools where under Mobile and SoCal's banner, field officers were trained for their assignment in oil producing countries. That makes you feel really good. Besides sharing intelligence with those same oil companies,

37:50 A part of the agency's mission, the CIA also found itself having to prevail upon larger companies, both for the creation of covers where they would sheep dip CIA agents into leadership positions in these oil companies in foreign countries. And for the loan of oil company executives who could assist the agency in those.

38:21 countries. You need an appointment with someone? Just call the guy that owns the oil company. He knows the guy that's in charge of the country. You get your meeting. He basically says the entire government was virtually captive of the oil industry. Executives who left the major oil companies for service in the government, upon the understanding that when their stint in the government ended, they would be returned.

38:56 with even more money to the oil companies. They had, in every sense, penetrated the CIA and the State Department. And he goes on to say, more effectively than any KGB agent ever could have. And their allegiance were always to the oil companies, not the government, not the people, because they were cheating us out of money by forming the cartel to begin with. That is exactly what the DOJ

39:31 was trying to prove, but all of these upper management people who've already been compromised wouldn't allow them to do it. So they went from a criminal conspiracy case to the seniors at the Justice Department downgrading it to a civil suit. Then Emmerglick said,

39:55 The blood was sucked out of the civil suit by a series of decisions that could only have been brought about by the continuing presentation in government circles by the oil companies. According to David Haberman, the National Security Council ultimately came to issue policy directive, which for all practical purposes, gutted the entire case. In effect, the Security Council

40:28 cut the heart out of the cartel case. As a result, it dwindled down to a single attorney, Haberman, handling the tattered remains of a lawsuit initially designed to break up the world's petroleum cartel. And as a result, it was institutionalized forever. And that is according to Haberman. So, all recorded. Okay.

41:07 Also, according to Emmerglick, quote, in 1952, the Secretary of the Interior commented that we did not have reserves to give us maneuverability in the opening months of the previous war. The Petroleum Administrator for Defense said that our reserves were about 15% of our actual consumption at that time. He said that was too narrow. We need much more room.

41:40 So they said they wanted to correct that and they needed the cartel to help. The cartel's absolute control of the production, refinement, and distribution of petroleum products presented a direct threat to the security of the U.S., but it was outside the hands of anybody in the government. Seems the exact opposite of what they're claiming. It says the threat was...

42:14 made as especially direct by the fact that the oil companies connived to limit oil production in the most dramatic way, therefore constraining competition and keeping prices high. He goes on to say in Syria, for instance, one general manager bragged to his home office by saying that he was complying with Syrian regulations by drilling exactly the number of wells they demanded, but was making sure.

42:44 The locations were places where no oil could be found. Syria, as other oil producing countries did at the time, wanted to maximize the production of oil to help with the war. He says one of the bottom lines to the unraveling of the Justice Department suit, besides institutionalizing the cartel, while the justice was never formally advised of the reasons that led

43:20 the National Security Council to defend the oil companies, the department suit indirectly led to councils placing the oil companies beyond the law, literally. In a letter from the National Security Council to John Foster Dulles, then Secretary of State, this is what it said, quote,

43:42 It will be assuming that the enforcement of the antitrust laws of the United States against Western oil companies operating in the Near East may be deemed secondary to national security interests. In the event of a conflict between any proposed relationship and the enforcement of the federal antitrust laws, the proposed solution will include without recommendation appropriate legislative, executive, and administrative action required to remove

44:12 such conflict shortly thereafter all matters pertaining to oil companies and antitrust laws was transferred to the national security for a portfolio outside of the secretary of state and there's no precedence for that the security council has no authority to do any of that so keep in mind that

44:41 Alan Dulles, John Foster Dulles, because this is during the Eisenhower administration. They're running everything and have a direct line to Standard Oil, to the Rockefellers. Not only that, Eisenhower owes his presidency to the Rockefellers. That's the government in a nutshell. That's crazy. So he goes on to say that.

45:25 The failure of the antitrust case demonstrated that American foreign policy instruments designated by the CIA and State Department to include at least Exxon, Mobil, Texaco, SoCal, and Gulf take precedence over any law in the United States. In a series of decisions by a handful of NSC State Department CIA bureaucrats,

45:57 themselves indoctrinated by Exxon Seminars, overruled the public's congressional representatives, manipulated the courts, and generally rendered the practice of free enterprise impossible, supposedly in the best interest of the public. The quote-unquote best interest, which by their action in this case, the State Department CIA pretend to know better than the public itself. It's this

46:28 paternalism, which gives dramatic meaning to the phrase secret government, justifying fears of people that they set in motion a decaying of the institutions of the United States. And you definitely cannot argue that. He then goes on to say, in many ways,

46:54 They spoke directly to the coincidence of circumstances that led to the emergence of the United States from pre-war isolationism, the establishment of the CIA, and the proliferation of multinational corporations after World War II. Those events had a profound impact. And he says that David Haberman's description of them may well remind the reader,

47:26 Other multinationals such as ITT, Chase Manhattan, Reynolds Aluminum, DuPont, Lockheed, IBM, Northrop, and all the rest were indeed a secret government. Haberman went on to say, quote, this system is a kind of supernatural government, a private UN, if you will, because its members, it's what we call the international syndicate.

47:57 Its members collectively possess massive wealth and resources, shipping fleets, production facilities, pipelines, refineries, which exceed by far the resources available to many nations in the world. These companies have shared for many years a broad community of interest and a functional unity of policies and actions in the disposition of wealth and resources.

48:26 This was facilitated by the highly developed technical and diplomatic capabilities, which these companies have frequently and effectively exercised en bloc in sophisticated high-level dealings with the governments of the world. And that was exacerbated, obviously, after World War II with the CIA and a standing military, because now it wasn't just some small threat.

48:54 It was 100% saturation via the CIA and their mercenaries. And if all else fails, the activation of the U.S. military. So now not only were they out exploiting the world for its resources, they had the full weight of the U.S. government behind them because they're the ones that decide.

49:25 Who's going to be our president? So Haberman went on to say, why did we, as a recognized ballpark of post-World War II free world, virtually by executive fiat, delegate to this private corporation block the awesome responsibility of safeguarding the U.S. and allied interest of a commodity so vital to social and economic and military well-being of the free world? And why also?

50:01 where those private companies made our emissaries and assigned the delicate task of critical foreign negotiations, even assuming that some overriding national interest was to be served by having these companies act as surrogates of our foreign policy. Why was this same international private cartel then given unfettered power?

50:25 Unconstrained by effective countervailing supervision and control and allowed to erect and operate a vast supernatural structure capable of acting against the economic interest of international communities, which these companies brag about serving. Why indeed? So he goes on to say that the intricacy of the relationship with these firms and

50:58 Coupled with their need to preserve and expand their own influence requires that they develop an intelligence capability both in-house and inside the CIA. They would coordinate advertising and propaganda campaigns with their in-house and exterior CIA counterparts. They would exploit secret information pertaining to startups.

51:31 so that they couldn't survive. The multinational intelligence needs then are not much different than those of a country. They are serving as a supernatural entity that has no boundaries. It says, insofar as the corporation is concerned, competition, taxation, ex-appropriation, and denial of markets are threats and are dealt with as threats.

52:05 So you have this supernatural entity called the oil cartel. When it's threatened, it acts as if it's a state and it has the intelligence organizations of all of the countries like MI6, like CIA, that this supernatural, not the U.S. government, the cartel, the mafia, the oil mafia has at its disposal.

52:38 all of the intelligence and military to do whatever the hell it wants. That's what happened to Iran. It's happened all over for oil. Iraq, all over. So, and that's just talking about one industry. The same is true in other industries. And ITT, which is what we started off with, is another example of that.

53:15 Any time it felt threatened of its monopoly of communications, the CIA stepped in, overthrew the government, killed Allende, whatever. Doesn't matter. He then goes on, and we'll finish with this part. And again, this is a long time ago. This is not current situation. He says that the danger derives from this supernatural, national perversion of U.S. policy.

53:56 In Venezuela, Exxon's Creole subsidiary was found by the CIA to have a large intelligence budget and more secret assets and information than the CIA station, which at the time was huge, by the way, because they were doing all kinds of shit. That's where the cartel de la Sol and all that other stuff is. In recognition of this.

54:25 And in complete disregard for the need to have objective intelligence estimates, the CIA consolidated its files with Exxon. They moved into Exxon Creole's headquarters, sitting side by side with that company. As far as Venezuela was concerned, Exxon became the CIA.

55:02 The CIA became Exxon. Now you know why they left in Chevron State. And that's the way it was viewed in Venezuela. The multinationals distortion of American foreign policy is obvious in a number of places besides the Persian Gulf and Venezuela. ITT's perversion of this country's policy in Chile by means of covert action.

55:37 supervised by former CIA Director John McComb. While he was employed as a director of ITT, offering a million-dollar campaign chest to his successor, Richard Helms, McComb's efforts on behalf of ITT led the United States into a foreign policy disaster. The Chilean coup represents

56:10 an even greater disaster than Vietnam. Because in these latter places, misguided objectives were pursued to failure, where the objective pursued in Chile succeeded spectacularly and brutally. I don't necessarily agree with his comparison. A lot of that is for the same reason, but we'll just go with it. We know we were in Vietnam for drugs.

56:42 The results being the Pinochet regime and its bloodlust and murderous dictatorship endured for decades. It became a cancer that metastasized throughout Operation Condor. So he gives some other examples, but you get the drift. And that is going to conclude our book, The Spooks.

57:18 What happened to Bridget? Let me get her back up here. Oh, there's Illini. I hope he was here for most of that. He was one of my, the first time Illini started joining our shows was, I realized he had done a lot of reading about the Nixon and he knew a whole lot about the ITT's role in Chile.

57:50 I'm definitely glad he's here today. What say you, Illini? Hey, Colonel. Yeah, the IT&T affair is kind of my favorite example of Operation Gladio, just because it's so well documented. This is one of those cases where, you know, you can point to everything from the Nixon tapes to, you know, contemporaneous journalism and the front page of the Washington Post.

58:21 Like this is the kind of journalism that actually gave The Washington Post its name and the reputation that it has with Democrats today was Jack Anderson's investigative journalism back in the 70s. And you can get into a debate with Malcolm Nance and he's forced to concede. I mean, assuming that you have enough facts compiled on it. I think, you know, a really interesting source on this one.

58:49 is Jack Anderson's 1973 book, The Anderson Papers. And it hasn't fully played out. You can see the editor's notes referencing more information coming out in August of 73. So it was written in the early part of 1973. It was written before the coup finally succeeded. And it was written while Watergate was starting to kind of come crawling out of the woodwork, but wasn't there yet.

59:19 And what's so fascinating about it is it's kind of this contemporaneous – it's 130 pages of contemporaneous primary source journalism basically explaining what's going on. And you know what? Like Jack Anderson is angry as he's writing this. It's pretty clear. He talks about in the last chapter about how Intertel is surveilling him.

59:46 how the you know this is white house is directing the fbi to surveil him um and how his kids are kind of having fun in the neighborhood kids are sort of you know tracking you know cars going through the neighborhood and stuff like that um but you know he gives this description you know of the internal workings of the company um and and you know kind of you know he describes the ceo

1:00:15 um it's just kind of a fascinating um primary source work of journalism that you can then coordinate with you know the testimony um and everything else to to basically say you know it's as bizarre as it sounds you know they actually tried to pull this yeah yeah um yeah it's interesting that um you talked about that i was just looking up

1:00:47 Because Intertel, as you guys know from this book and the show that we did with, it's part of this entire operation operating as a subsidiary of Resorts International. So they're coordinating with Howard Hughes. Yes. They're bringing in the safes in Las Vegas. Yes. They're coordinating with the White House plumbers.

1:01:11 I think they were even involved with, I think what was called the Watergate plane crash, where a plane crashed flying into Midway Airport in 1973 with Howard Hughes's wife aboard. Actually, I don't know, Howard Hunt's wife aboard. Yes. Yep. And there were a whole bunch of Watergate documents like strewn all over the tarmac. And she had a lot of money because she was the courier for the money to pay the plumbers.

1:01:42 Yes. So there, I mean, whenever you think Intertel, you can think about the different linkages between Watergate, between, you know, Howard Hughes in Las Vegas, and yes, IT&T and all of this. And that's kind of what is an interesting part of the backstory behind Watergate, that the media kind of ignores. They focus on the break-in to the Watergate Hotel.

1:02:11 But you really can't pull, you know, the IT&T affair out of this. No. This was the deep political event that really should have gotten Nixon impeached and thrown out of office. They should have thrown him out on the basis of the bribes to, you know, Mitchell and the antitrust stuff. And then the other kind of chicanery going on with his foreign coup plot, you know, where this guy was involved. That right there.

1:02:41 should have been what took down the Nixon administration. Instead, it was this break-in to the DNC headquarters, you know, where a couple of burglars got caught in, you know, by summertime. Almost like it was a cover story that got him out of office, got him pardoned. I'm coming more and more to that conclusion, by the way. And there are still withdrawals on the Nixon tapes today.

1:03:11 that specifically say IT&T or Chile on them. They'll give you the explanation. They'll say that there's a national security withdrawal on it, and it'll reference IT&T. Now, the final declassifications, I think, were done sort of, you know, the stuff that we have today, you know, was done about 15 years ago. But, you know, there's still some information that's being withheld on tapes that relates to IT&T. Yeah, I'm convinced of it now.

1:03:41 That the entire Watergate thing that was done on purpose to be caught, be exposed and be the shiny object while he could, because all the other shit was coming out. They could take all the wind out of that sail with that. He gets his pardon. He goes on happily ever after. And the real story, which is this is part of the real story, never gets looked at.

1:04:07 They've done this so many times. Let me read what it says in this book about that particular incident. Under the ITT category in the chapter Inertel, it says, following Jack Anderson's disclosure of the infamous Dita Beard memorandum, revealing a quid pro quo between ITT and the Nixon administration, Inertel was hired by the phone company to discredit.

1:04:33 Anderson and his stories. The discrediting attempts included efforts to prove Beard's memo was a forgery, and when that failed, to suggest that the press, in the press, that Beard and Anderson's secretary were alcoholic chums who conspired to embarrass the Nixon administration. They weren't, and they hadn't. Reportedly, Intertel's effort in this case was coordinated with White House and ITT.

1:05:03 by John Martin, an attorney with the Justice Department's Internal Security Division. Yeah, he specifically references the Internal Security Division. I'm looking at the page where he's talking about it. Do you want me to read it off some of the quote? Sure. Sure, go ahead. I could post it in the comments. But a reliable source within the Justice Department told the Washington Post that the White House was coordinating a continuous effort to discredit Anderson.

1:05:32 It was conducted by the Internal Security Division of the Justice Department, elements of the White House staff, and the Republican National Committee. The FBI, too, was used by them. All told, dozens of government agents, presidential aides, and political flunkies were assigned to investigate us, to prepare attacks on us, and to plant stories in the press against us. Moreover, while publicly pretending complete aloofness from IT&T, the administration was secretly cooperating with world-famous...

1:05:58 privately investigating from Intertel, which IT&T had hired to probe us. Whatever Intertel could dredge up was added to the government's own file and was offered surreptitiously to the press. I was informed by Justice Department sources that my house was being staked out and I was being tailed. I was given descriptions of cars. My kids had fun spotting them. Okay. And then they said, at length, our pursuers hit paydirt, locating a photograph showing my secretary, Opal Jin, in a group of six that included Dita Beard.

1:06:27 To men who would clone the top secret archives of the State Department and forge state documents to make a dead president appear a murderer, the photo offered considerable opportunity. They concocted a yarn to the – and I think he was referring to Diem and JFK. They concocted a yarn to the effect that Opal and Dieter were longtime drinking companions who met frequently at the Sheridan Carlton. So Sheridan was owned, I think, by IT&T.

1:06:51 The implication was that they were a pair of spouses who in their generosity had performed a conspiracy to get the administration. No respectable reporter would use such a story. So, okay, but he goes on. Jack Anderson's mad. You can tell it in a text. But let me just point out here. Intertel is the CIA. Resorts International, Mary Carter Payne, all CIA fronts. It's a subsidiary of...

1:07:20 Resorts International. This is the CIA operating through a front organization called Intertel inside the United States in collusion with the Justice Department to do all of this. I just want to make sure. What makes it so credible, Colonel, is Jack Anderson didn't know this. I know. He was writing all this. He didn't know this was going to get thrown out of the White House yet.

1:07:45 He was just reporting what he knew about Intertel back then. I think there was a clear connection to Hughes. They didn't realize at this point, I don't think, that there was this revolving door to the CIA and everything else. I wasn't going to come out to the church committee. Right. That's the crazy part of this whole story. And that's why I always, when people say stuff about, oh, no, I don't know any of this stuff. I'm repeating to you what people...

1:08:15 who put their lives on the line documented all in their own words they're the heroes of this whole story and all of it's out there but it's buried and no one ever talks about it except for us um why are you so mad go ahead okay i'm gonna say something and take it or leave it i really don't care um when it comes right down to the cartel the idea that they have not infiltrated every agency and

1:08:45 from the dea to the cia the atf is is because i'm bringing it full circle part of the cia part of the international global syndicate and campo was what the tip of a giant iceberg and there are so many people that have been purged hopefully being purged and all i'm i'm

1:09:14 I'm optimistic. Me too. I am more optimistic in the last 10 years than I've ever been in my entire life. It has been glorious to see, but there is going to be more purges in all of these organizations and their connections to money laundering, drug trafficking, and for the cartel, for Sinaloa, for all of these places. The idea of going to Arizona.

1:09:44 and in making them straighten up their banking with beset and it's amazing yeah i mean things are happening yeah i agree with you things are happening all over and people are happening and people are not paying attention but i'm telling you it is right there if you look at it i don't this is this is a glorious thing let me let me rephrase that i don't think

1:10:10 people aren't paying attention. They can't make any sense out of it. This is a whole bunch of information floating at, you know, 10,000 feet. That's what you're there for. And right. And so if you look at the 40,000 foot look, things make a whole lot more sense, but they are starved for historical information to be able to process.

1:10:38 what is actually happening every day it it doesn't seem like a coherent front to take this thing down because they don't recognize what this thing really is so yeah i i will give you that but it everything is being systematically taken down in in such a way to where there there hopefully in my lifetime will not be any rebuilding of it i agree um

1:11:07 Warhamster, go ahead. Howdy. You know, it always makes me happy seeing the truth that we've known for quite some time. We get just more and more exposed that the corporatocracy really runs the government on an international scale. And today was a really good day of showing that. I think Goli and I will agree with me that these are all publicly traded companies. And you can go back there and look at their 10Qs and their filings.

1:11:39 And all the money coming and going is going to be showing up as off-balance sheet type stuff. The stuff that happened in the 60s, 70s, stuff like that, you're not going to be able to forensically find that unless you really get into some old bank records that have probably been destroyed. But in the digital age, no records are ever destroyed. And this kind of behavior is still ongoing. Yes. And anytime there's a publicly traded company involved in that,

1:12:09 You've got a guy like Scott Besant, who appears to be properly motivated and definitely intelligent enough to know where to look. There's an outside chance that a real audit, like a doge-type effort, could really, really follow the money trail on this one. I don't think we can go back to the 70s. It's just going to be buried behind a book entry ledger with not a whole lot of detail back then. You'd have to find actual ledgers.

1:12:38 But today, in this day and age, I don't think they're going to be able to get away with it as much. So let me float something out there. There has been a strange alignment of people supporting Trump. And I surmise that what you just articulated has already happened.

1:13:06 I think that there were deals made. And that's the reason why I don't think everybody is going to be satisfied with how we get out of this and go forward. Because there isn't going to be 100% accountability. We're not going to have people lined up that all should be lined up. You have to maintain.

1:13:31 The country, you have to make sure the country survives financially, economically, militarily, and the relationships in foreign countries and things are so interwoven now. But I would be shocked if that hasn't already happened and they get presented with, here's all the stuff and here's the deal. We can take you to prison tomorrow or.

1:14:00 You can stay here until this phase is gone. Then you're going to step down and you're going to go enjoy retirement for the rest of your life. Yeah, I'm cracking up that you said that. I feel like you've got a camera, a flat camera in my house because we just had this conversation a couple of days ago with my wife. You know, when you see Mark Zuckerberg sitting in the Oval Office, when you see all of these big tech corporations.

1:14:30 that scheme for almost a decade to take down Trump are now working alongside him. You got to start asking questions. And, you know, this circles back to, you know, my overall theory that a big part of Trump 2.0 is taking out the CCP, which is part of the whole globalist movement. And I think that's the direction to put the chick in their armor. It looks like that's what they're doing on a financial standpoint. And of course, I'll throw out my pieces out there that once again, CCP,

1:15:00 China, as a nation, they're dealing with a lot of economic headwinds. They have a demographic time bomb, a debt situation that can never be resolved. And worse than ours, by the way, because they still have like 400 million people living under the poverty line and a declining population. And a retirement package based on fake real estate investments where you're hoping to find a greater fool to buy your investment from you. They are in a world of hurt.

1:15:30 I think that's the direction it's going. And like I said, it's all auditable. But all of these big tech companies, Silicon Valley, were working side by side with China, giving away intellectual property, et cetera, for a long time, even pre-Obama. And that seems to be changing. And just for the record, I don't have a flock camera in this house. But we did just have that conversation like two days ago.

1:16:00 And Zuckerberg in the Oval Office after what he did with the Zuckerbucks to me is something there's got to be. That was a huge fire alarm fire. What the hell's going on here? That's pretty hard. That's pretty hard to reconcile. Right. I think, you know, I'll just make sort of a cautious comment on this one. I feel like what's happening is is the.

1:16:27 Somehow the federal government is trying to untangle a very, very, very complicated knot. And sometimes, you know, in order to get some of the loops out, it will look like we're not necessarily making progress in it, or we're even making the knot, you know, more complicated. And given everything that we've seen in the history of Gladion, how it operates,

1:16:56 The knot is going to be very complicated, and there's going to be a lot of different themes to these complicated knots that we see over and over again. And I just really hope they get it right. Is it possible that knot could be called the Federal Reserve Banking System, which facilitates everything? I don't think I've hammered that home hard enough the last few weeks, Colonel. But that's kind of where we've been hinting at.

1:17:26 For quite some time. Without the Federal Reserve banking system and the ability of central bankers to extend credit to favorable nations and companies, none of this happens. So I'm kind of thinking, I think we're going to hear a lot more on that in terms of untying knots. But there's more to it than that because the system was in place before the Federal Reserve was in place. The Federal Reserve just became the facilitator. Correct.

1:17:54 What the colonel said, I think, is really profound. You can't unwind this mess. You can't just burn it all down like a lot of people want. Because, you know, there's people like all of us have worked our lives to save for retirement, build our families, our lives, our home. And you tear the whole thing down, you're looking at anarchy. And that's exactly what the Democratic, Socialist American, the communists want. Correct. And so you have to do it in an orderly fashion. Making deals.

1:18:23 to allow that to happen is the rational way forward and it may not be the most palatable path forward but it is the rational way of doing things because our system is so fragile right now and you know like there's a reason i stay out of cities period yeah if i can if i can help it we are really on the on the fringe and we've seen that in the last you know 100 years what happens when order disappears and well you're seeing it right now they they

1:18:53 they have sales of people to exacerbate any small friction and that's the reason why this is so delicate right now it concerns me from a personal standpoint you know i spent i spent a lifetime as a financial advisor financial planner portfolio manager stuff i kind of know how to invest and

1:19:18 God, I am running out of ways to diversify and protect from a potential collapse. I'm literally running out of ideas. Yeah. I'm so diversified right now that if the market goes up 10%, I can barely make five because I'm so afraid of the worst case scenario. Right. By the way, stupid investment, but. Yeah, it is an interesting time.

1:19:43 I'm just thankful that we've all been on this journey and can better understand the different moves that are being made and see them for what they really are to why are you so mad point. Texas Annie, did you want to say something? Yes, ma'am. How are you doing today? Good. Great.

1:20:12 Now, when you mention the people coming over, I remember so many times Trump saying, yeah, Zuckerberg called me up, wanted to come to dinner so he could come over and kiss my ass. I love that. Yeah, he does. He he pokes fun at them in a way that lets you know.

1:20:41 To me, what's really going on behind the scenes. But we've been observing this for a while now. Yeah, even Rachel Maddow looked like Mark Cuban. Saying some things publicly that are supportive of the Trump agenda. That's something that did not happen on Bingo Card. Mark Cuban was one of the worst of the worst. And yes, he does look like Rachel Maddow. And he is going out there and doing that.

1:21:10 pharma thing where you can buy low-cost drugs, which is very supportive of what Trump's doing. Yeah, but there's not a single billionaire in America besides, you know, he's in the top three of the most connected to China, especially with his NBA connections. Which, again, could be helpful behind the scenes. God, I want to believe that. Show me the evidence.

1:21:38 Yeah, I'm just saying it could be. Yeah, I know. You know the argument I'm referring to. I know. If you're reverse engineering what they did to set the system up, you have to use the reverse of that to take it down. If Mark Cuban is going over there and knows all of the nefarious players in China, that's intelligence. And that's going to be very helpful.

1:22:05 If they're actually taking down and it does appear a lot of the internal Chinese stuff is getting disassembled. There's been major arrests over there. So, again, just look out and consider all of the things that are going on, not isolated incidents. So something a little bit tangentially related.

1:22:34 you know you know i still consult for some uh venture startup companies and uh we turned down a bunch of chinese money uh potential investment into a company i'm consulting for and one of the other people who was on the call told me afterwards because that's happening a lot people american money no longer trusts chinese capital at all and that's this is california silicon valley santa barbara money they're distancing themselves on the private equity side

1:23:02 Which I did not know was going on. That was something I thought we should be doing. But apparently there's some other smart people out there that are trying to avoid that kind of hang up. So I don't know if they know something we don't. But some really smart money is distancing itself. Yeah. Well, the entire private equity thing is under a huge microscope right now. Well, I won't get into that tonight. Ask me about that another time. Yeah. We'll get into that.

1:23:32 Yeah. Zen, go ahead. I bet 99.9% that Zuckerberg is CIA. I had a friend, his daughter graduated from Air Force Basic back in like 07, 08. And he talked me into getting on Facebook to check out him and her pictures and stuff. He was all proud and stuff. So I opened an account and got on there. And it had been...

1:24:05 It had been out there for four years, something like that. And it went for like 10 years with like no funding. That was very strange. And when I first looked it up on Wikipedia back in like 07, 08, there was a lot of government people that had supposedly put out seed money or whatever.

1:24:34 Yeah, right after the Patriot Act popped off, Facebook appears. And yeah, I'm sure it was the CIA op. What do you think? So it started off as LifeLog, which was a DARPA project. So you are correct. What we've discovered is a lot of the DARPA, Battelle Institute projects get...

1:25:03 floated into, especially the social media in general, because it is used as a psychological weapon. It's used to craft narratives and do all kinds of other things. So it's served as an ability for them to create networks that can be activated.

1:25:29 So, yes, I agree with that assessment. And the fact that Warhamster mentioned earlier about them using their foundations that they create as part of this, I've noticed this pattern. So they spin off, you know, supposedly out of their garage, which is just a handoff of technology.

1:25:56 And then they create these multi-billion dollar entities. And then they all create a foundation. And then they use that foundation for nefarious things. And this follows a pattern from back in the Carnegie, Ford, Rockefeller foundation days. And, but again, I think there has been back door, back.

1:26:26 channel agreements that they're going to not do that. And at some point they're going to be, they have to refrain from it now. And at some point they will be able to either help with this transition that we're going through and allowed to ride off into the sunset. And if they don't, they're going to take them down.

1:26:55 And I would use the analogy of the difference between the approach that we've just all witnessed with Venezuela, where they had enough people in the government that took the deal to transition their oil back to the open market from the covert market, and the difference in Iran, because they don't control the IRGC.

1:27:24 not being able to do that same type of a deal in Iran because the IRGC is not under the government's control. And so you can either take the deal and Trump is a dealmaker or you cannot take the deal. And there will be hell to pay if you don't take the deal. And I think that's what we're witnessing as this whole, as Illini said, this knot gets untangled.

1:27:53 And that's a great analogy because those of us who had to unknot our jewelry necklaces or whatever, it does look like you're making it worse when you first start doing it. But eventually, if you're tenacious enough, you can unknot the knot. The problem is your necklace is not over leveraged like a 10X. And that's why it's got to be done so carefully because simple math on leverage.

1:28:23 Money goes down twice as fast as it goes up. When you add leverage to that, a million dollars could disappear really fast if you borrowed to get it. And we saw that. The easiest example of that was the underwater home equity in 2008 and 2009. You look at that on a global scale, we built an entire system that's based on debt and borrowing and stuff like that. If it is not managed properly,

1:28:50 You know, I don't believe in this. First of all, I'm sorry, just sorry, that kind of stuff. Just put that to bed because that's nonsense. It is nonsense. It's a debunked internet myth ten times over. But the people who are talking about that are correct in what the problem is. I don't have a solution and I've yet to hear one. And it's going to take someone really freaking smart and a lot of someone really smart people to figure out how to unwind that knot.

1:29:13 but it's not just untying a necklace it is much more complex yeah i agree we're using analogies here more hamster yeah i'm just trying to emphasize what the challenge really is it is uh it's biblical in scale yep i don't disagree i mean on the mark zuckerberg front i mean one other analogy that like i'll i'll give people

1:29:35 is like i think howard hughes was like you know bedridden at the sands casino like starting in 73 or 74 right and you know if if zuckerberg you know if you have a situation like that you know the the it would make sense for for the government to to kind of deal with like uh to kind of deal with howard hughes

1:30:04 And basically say, look, you know, you're not even involved in the day to day operations right now. And, you know, we get that on on on some level. Now, the bigger context, you know, should Howard Hughes have known a lot better, of course. But, you know, there could I would argue that there could be sort of a, you know.

1:30:31 Something like that with if there were an issue with Howard Hughes back in the 70s. Yeah. Yep. So anyway, if that's all we got. Great show. I'm going to go ahead and call it a day. And I hope that you guys all have a wonderful weekend. And I think we are going to do.

1:31:04 um a dorks show on sunday it'll be out sunday afternoon sometime and then we're doing another uh group uh show with tommy on monday and then i'll be back here on monday afternoon so you guys have a wonderful weekend and um take care okay guys we're gonna go over and do one of our raids real quick let's see

1:31:41 Who we want to raid today. Okay. Well, that's interesting. I don't see anybody I really want to raid. All right, guys. I'm going to need your help. Help me go find Roseanne. All right. We'll do her. We're going to raid Roseanne. All right. I don't need to hear myself talk. You guys are good. Thank you for helping me with the raids.

1:33:12 then it does its countdown and we're good all right thanks you guys for being here i appreciate it have a nice weekend
