0:00 been overthrowing countries to steal their resources, using terror and false flag attacks to justify authoritarian crackdowns. Many of these coups were shrouded in a covert architecture with stay-behind units, paramilitaries, and coordination of the highest levels of powerful global agencies. It is known as Operation Gladio. I just learned

6:33 All right. So, um, there is more to, um, thank you Rumble 9S for, um, giving me that feedback. I appreciate it. There's more to the foreword that Peter Del Scott, um, had, but I'm going to save that for the end of the book. Um, we're going to start chapter one tonight and, um, I hope you guys enjoy this book as much as I did. Um, it is one of my favorite books cause it's a

7:03 It's a big eye opener in so many ways. And it starts out with a bang. The author, Henrik Kruger, begins with the identification by number of an Atlanta prisoner. The hellhole called the federal penitentiary in Atlanta. And if anybody knows anything about our prison sentence.

7:34 That is one of the worst federal prisons there is in the United States, is Atlanta. In October 1979, what's going on in 79? Well, we're in the middle of the crisis over in Iran, the overthrow of the Shah. We're at the soon to be going into the last year of Jimmy Carter's administration, blah, blah, blah. Okay. In Atlanta.

8:06 Nightmare Max Security Prison sits Dominique Orsini. He is prisoner 77343. He also has a partner and friend known as Grupo Francis. His partner in the branch of the French Mafia.

8:38 Grupo Francis had been murdered in an isolation cell on 12 April 1978 in the Atlanta Penitentiary. Murdered in an isolation cell. Let that sink in for just a second. Same prison, once earlier, their heroin car in the prison.

9:23 in the federal prison. Before that, Orsini's lawyer, Gino Galena, had been shot dead in New York of nine murders committed within Atlanta's prison. Over a 17-month period, 77 to 78, at least four were contracts on mafia-connected

9:58 narco dealers in the federal prison system, of whom Orzini and Papa were among the elite. Since then, the killings had continued despite federal investigations of the prison, or maybe because of them. To the quote unquote honorable men who drive up in black cars and flash their CIA,

10:33 FBI or DEA IDs. Prisoner 77343 remains the subject of intense interrogation. That's another reason for his constant fear. He knows prison walls does not stop his enemies. That is how it had been for seven years. Only now, in Atlanta, the odds got even worse.

11:07 The prisoner who knows too much is Christian David. He was 50 years old, French, i.e. from the French Corsican Mafia, known among his friends as Les Beaux-Arts, and by many of his recent acquaintances in Latin America and the U.S. as Eduardo or Jean-Pierre.

11:42 You know, all of those aliases these guys like to use. Among French connection notables, he was a legend. He's been a pimp, a robber, a hired assassin for the French intelligence, hatchet man during the Algiers torture chamber episode when the Algerians were fighting for their independence.

12:13 He had also been involved in arms trading. He had served the service of as a spy. He also was a notorious narco trafficker. He was one of the only people alive that knew the truth about the Ben Barca affair that shook France in 1965. He knows details of the brutal power struggle.

12:49 within the french intelligence agency the sdece of their collaboration with the corsican mafia and of all of the secret cia operations in latin america he was definitely paranoid he had arrived in the united states on 17 november 1972 from brazil he had been arrested as the head of a huge

13:20 narco smuggling ring, referred to as the Brazilian connection. International law actually gave extradition a priority to the French. He had already been sentenced to death in France for murdering a police officer. The Americans were not about to let the drug kingpin slip through their fingers. When he was taken from his cell in Brazil,

13:55 David was desperate, unsure of his destination, whether it was going to be to France and a guillotine or to the United States. In his desperation, he smashed a light bulb and swallowed it. He later said, the Americans filled me with drugs and carried me off in a military plane and flew him to the United States.

14:31 Following a hospital stay from having swallowed glass, he was hauled into a Brooklyn courthouse where the judge set the bail at $2.5 million. Fearing the amount was not beyond the means of David's connections, authorities rammed his case through the justice system. Within two weeks of his arrival, federal judge Jacob Mishler sentenced

15:04 to 20 years in prison for smuggling a half ton of heroin into the United States. During the trial, proof was obtained of David's activities on behalf of a very special branch of French intelligence known as Service Action Civic, SAC. His tricolored SAC ID card explained,

15:47 Of his confinement in Brazil, he said this, He then said that,

16:08 The Brazilians had taken all of his money. According to Armin, his compatriot and prison mate for the trial, when I saw David in the West Street jail, I could hardly recognize him. So terribly had the Brazilians tortured him. That didn't quite jive with David's late-rightly Parisian friend of his and his desire to go back.

16:44 to Brazil. But the ways of Christian David are often inexplicable. After his arrival in the U.S., David's attitude often shifted depending on what he saw was his greatest danger. After his sentence was announced, he told FBI directives, quote, if I had been extradited to France instead of abducted from Brazil,

17:18 Brazil, I would only have gotten three years. They would have forgotten about Galibert, which was a police lieutenant he had murdered in Paris. However, he later wrote the writer David Garin, quote, if you get me a guarantee I won't be extradited to France, I'll tell you the truth about Ben Barca, unquote.

17:49 In other words, he changed his story depending on who he was talking to. The French government's two official attempts to have David extradited failed. The French press had been surprisingly indifferent. One year after David was jailed in the US, initially in the Illinois federal penitentiary, a French newspaper

18:14 reported that he had shaved his beard, lost weight, complained of heart trouble, and sought admission to a military hospital. On examination, the doctor said he was fine. Another year passed, and the following item appeared. Quote, David acts deranged, darts about his cell, knocks his head against the wall, tears at his hair, and screams that he's being devoured by rats, unquote.

18:47 I don't know what the validity of that is. Are there rats in prison? Yes. Then in the summer of 75, the beautiful Simone Dallamari, his mistress in Brazil, came to Paris to plead David's cause with the press. In a letter he had written, he said this, I'm doing all I can to avoid extradition to France. All I ask is to be treated like any other inmate. I'm locked in a windowless

19:19 two by two meter cell. I never see the sunshine. I have no idea whether it's day or night. I hardly sleep anymore because of the evil atmosphere. I'm afraid to eat because they might poison me. I speak no English and the doctor knows no French. After a long silence, it was finally reported that on 6 December 1979, he was moved to Atlanta. In a photo,

19:56 that Miss Delamari had presented, upon her visit to him in Atlanta, he didn't look too tore up. However, he had lost most of his hair and grew a beard. Despite appearances, few believe that David was truly incapacitated. He will stop at nothing, the authorities said, to get out of jail. After all,

20:31 He had escaped from prison earlier in his career by pretending to be a psycho. David Christian fears both his friends from the mafia and the SAC and his enemies in the CIA and SDECE. But some of them are equally afraid of him. Why is that? It is the Kruger's attempt to explain.

21:03 why that is in this book. The catalyst for Christian David's ascent into this gangland mafia arena was a product of the Franco-American ingenuity. In 1942, Thomas Dewey was the governor of New York. In an earlier role as the DA, he had won fame for battling organized crime. He had put his most infamous victim,

21:36 Lucy Luciano, Lucky Luciano, away in 1936 for white slavery or prostitution. However, syndicate super strategist Meyer Lansky had vowed to get his partner out of jail and Dewey did an about face when he found himself dependent on the mob as election time approached. Navy intelligence badly needed Luciano.

22:07 who held sway over the New York longshoremen. One word from the capo and they would rid the harbor of any Axis power agents and saboteurs who threatened the war effort. The Navy had approached Dewey, who in turn arranged a meeting with Lansky and Mozef Palikov, Luciano's lawyer. They agreed that since only Lansky could prevail upon Luciano,

22:37 that he could visit him in prison. When Lansky proposed a deal guaranteeing his freedom at the end of the war, Luciano agreed to cooperate, thus began Operation Underworld. And we've talked about this before, but we'll briefly talk about it here, just so that the consistency of the book is known. Luciano ordered his men to obey Lansky.

23:05 who became the liaison with naval intelligence. Luciano's contacts ensured the Allies a soft landing for their invasion in Sicily, because that's his old stopping grounds. In early 46, Luciano was rewarded. Dewey pardoned and deported him, along with some of his lieutenants, to Italy, but not before he met with agents of the CIA precursor,

23:38 the OSS. When Luciano's ship embarked for Italy, the U.S. appeared to be taking leave of an honored guest. Besides Lansky, Frank Costello, and other mafia dons, a host of politicians were there to send him off. And the longshoremen made sure the media was nowhere around. And of course, we know what was going on.

24:09 in Italy during that time. There's all kinds of unrest going on. It's post-World War II and supposedly everybody was seeing a communist behind every rock. The renowned Wild Bill Donovan, wartime head of the OSS, conceived the idea of using the mob to battle the quote-unquote communists.

24:37 Though enormously successful, the strategy also resulted in, albeit inadvertently, BS. The mafia inroads into intelligence and politics, both in Europe and the United States, which we've asserted all along that was the purpose of it. That was not a side venue. It didn't just happen. Because as we've documented repeatedly,

25:07 There were no quote unquote red threat. In 1947, the CIA was established just at the peak of the French political crisis. The center of unrest was Marseille, where U.S. intelligence agencies were already on the job. Jay Lovestone and Irving Brown were working undercover in the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. They had infiltrated.

25:40 the french trade unions they were handling they were handing out money to these unionists left and right in november of 47 the cia's first director admiral hill and cotter sent a team of experienced agents to paris and marseille now remember nato is going to be set up in paris french france is a hot ticket item at this time

26:14 This team consisted of three OSS veterans and three quote unquote representatives of the American Federation of Labor, which were CIA assets too. There were pitched battles that disrupted Paris the day the team arrived. There were people in the streets.

26:48 France had been occupied by Germany. There's a big struggle going on in France at the time on who was going to be the French leader. They had already decided they were going to set up NATO. So they wanted a NATO friendly government. The six agents wired home that the situation was desperate and they needed drastic measures. Those measures required quote unquote gangsters from Italy.

27:21 and the corsican underworld to help them their methods were brutal there were fights within weeks the hoods um hold on i see sr let me bring him up um the cia had been able to mobilize them so rapidly thanks to their important local ally in early 1947 general charles de gaulle

28:00 had formed a quote-unquote anti-communist front. That political party at the time initially was called RPF, which was the forerunner to a new party that was set up, the UDR. It soon established a security corps known as the Service Order RPF.

28:32 This corps made extensive use of Corsican gangsters against all of their political enemies. His commander later glorified the escapades of his guerrillas in a series of novels. And then it lists a whole bunch of the ringleaders. None of them are notable for the purpose of the story. But the opposing party plunged headlong against...

29:02 all of the other factions. So there's basically just chaos in France. And interestingly enough, the major opponent to them reached out to the CIA for help against de Gaulle's party. The security corps also numbered Corsican hoods in its rank. So you got mafia on both sides.

29:37 Among the criminals recruited in 1947 by the CIA and their French counterpart was the Guarini brothers, also the Franciscan clan, basically all of the mafia dons in France. Unfortunately for the six-man CIA team, word of their underworld partnership arrived before them in Washington.

30:08 where they were then fired. But of course, we know that didn't stop the CIA. And just for a little bit of background, Jay Lovestone was basically characterized in America initially as a communist and socialist himself. He worked extensively with the AFL-CIO. His real name is not Jay Lovestone.

30:42 His real name is Jacob Libstein. He was a Lithuanian Jewish person who had also basically Lithuania at the time was part of the Soviet Union. He was a national communist and social leader in the United States. He called himself a Trotskyite. So you see this whole delineation between communist and

31:14 anti-communist. It's all bullshit. He also was good friends with James Jesus Angleton and as late as 1973 was still working with the CIA. Irving Brown, who we also mentioned, was a OSS officer. He planned the Sicily invasion. He also was intimately involved in infiltrating labor unions.

31:50 Reagan awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He was good friends with Averill Harriman. And he was involved in the initial 7% of the Marshall Fund being used for covert operations, i.e. Gladio. He was in France from 51 to 54 with Lovestone.

32:22 He was also involved in the coup in Chile. Huh, that's crazy. He also worked with the National Endowment for Democracy later on, just to give you a flavor for the people that we're dealing with. The French underworld was divided basically into two groups, the Corsican Mafia and the non-Corsican gangs. One was very well organized, the other was not. The Corsican Mafia

32:58 was very well organized and was working closely, although there's rivalries, with the Sicilian mafia. The story of the Corsican mafia basically is that it was started by immigrants who left an island of hunger, undevelopment, and desperation. Corsica is an island off the coast of France.

33:30 And it's primarily now, I mean, during this period of time, was a vacation spot for all of the Mafia Dons who then moved to the mainland and took over control of many of the different vices in France, primarily around the city of Marseille. So they were a blood bound clan.

34:04 that emerged to control prostitution, alcohol, everything. They had a lot of infighting as well. But they hit the jackpot when they started into narcotics, specifically heroin. That brought the Corsicans billions of dollars and power. Marseilles had become a heroin stronghold.

34:36 Local underworld chemist learned to turn out the drug with pure chalk white quality. It was at this time the highest quality heroin. No one had figured out how to make the highest grade of the number four heroin in the world like the Corsican Mafia. So it was definitely a big deal.

35:04 They ruled the roost when it came to that. Most of that high-quality heroin was not sold in Europe. It was shipped to the United States. In 1971, the Corsican Mafia delivered 80% of the heroin into the United States. They deposited their millions in the Bahamas. They really liked using Castle Bank that was set up by Paul Helliwell.

35:38 They also used the Swiss banking system and the Lebanese banks. Then, after they had laundered them through the banks, they bought all kinds of stuff, real estate, because now the money's clean. A drug trader by the name of Richard Burden, a non-Corsican gangster, described his Corsican colleagues as most of them began as and still are.

36:09 pimps. They generally regard anyone who does not have a Marseille accent didn't drink their particular drink as suspect. We in Paris, especially we young hoods who came of age in the 60s in our own way, felt just as superior as they did. So

36:40 While they worked with the interior gangs in France, if you were to characterize it as this guy did, he said it was a shaky marriage. But not all of them fit that description. Corsican mob bosses live lives of fabulous luxury. They would buy palaces. They had houses in Paris and Corsica.

37:13 They threw lavish parties and invited all of the local politicians. They would take them on cruises, on their yachts. The Guarini clan was the first to truly dominate the Corsican mafia. It centered around six brothers who had been shepherd boys on Corsica. By the close of the...

37:46 of the late 1920s after many bloody vendettas. They and their allies had risen to the top of the clans on Corsica. They remained there for 30 years. But there were rivals. The Guarini's were among the first to systematically organize the smuggling of opium and morphine from Turkey and other Middle Eastern countries.

38:20 They also started the production and marketing of heroin. They created laboratories all over Marseille. A lot of them were designated to the outside as pharmaceutical companies. The legendary Joe Cesari, something was popping up there. Sorry about that. Ensured that the famous and coveted quality of Marseille heroin was the top.

39:02 He was their number one chemist. He was a true master. He built and ran the majority of the heroin labs up until 1972. Because Marseille's traditional socialist allegiance, they supported a mayor in Marseille that had been in place since 1953.

39:34 Beyond France's border, the Guarinis were in contact with the CIA frequently, supposedly under the auspices of fighting communists. Even the master chemist, Cesare, had CIA connections. During World War II, there were marked changes around Marseille. One of the gangs,

40:10 which was basically number two to the Guarini brothers, was decimated during the post-war purge because they had chosen Germany and had worked with the German Nazis. Joe Orsini and Auguste Record, two of its lieutenants, fled respectively to Canada and South America.

40:39 there to become important international narcotic figures. This allowed another gang to assume the number two spot. That number two spot was good buddies with Lucky Luciano. They were very politically active. So these guys are basically the monopoly in France as far as control of the underworld.

41:18 So after the number two guy and supposedly the Garini brothers call a truce. So they're focusing primarily. Now, keep in mind, this is before they only transferred their source to primarily Turkey after they got kicked out of Vietnam, because prior to that.

41:47 they were using the Laotian opium for this entire market. And when that got taken over by the CIA, who prefers dealing with the Italian mafia, both in Sicily and for distribution in the United States, they moved their primary source to Turkey. So he goes on and talks about all of the different people.

42:21 that were involved and how many of them had infiltrated the government to include when Charles de Gaulle comes to power in France. They've got assets in the SDECE and all kinds of the military and everything, because this is at the same time that the people in

42:49 the indigenous people in Algeria is going, hey, the war's over. We want our freedom too. So there's a lot going on in France at the time. One of the top dogs, whose name is Rakusi, he dies in November of 1959. And that, he was a ringleader. So that leaves another void in the hierarchy.

43:22 That's when the nation-hopping Joe Orsini, the guy we were just talking about at the beginning of the show, returned to join the organization in 1964. While the Jean Venturi guy had left for Canada to assume control of all U.S. heroin from Marseille to come in through Canada into New York.

43:57 So, Franciski, who is in charge, he returns to Paris and left the dirty work to the mafia in Corsica. I'm sorry, in Marseille, under the Corsican mafia. That work basically consisted of the production and the smuggling of heroin. In Paris, Franciski has the privilege.

44:32 of working the politician angle for the Marseille Corsican Mafia. So he's going to all the parties. He's greasing all the palms just to leave them alone and let them do their heroin work undisturbed. And to play it safe, they took out two political insurance policies. Dominique Venturi.

45:03 stuck with the Marseille socialist mayor, as did the Guarini brothers, but his men had served in the security force. And so Venturi, he went over and ingratiated himself with the de Gaullist. Again, playing both sides. Gotta have all of our bases covered. In the mid-60s,

45:34 The Franciski-Venturi clan decided to push the Guarini brothers out of the picture. Good old mob warfare. Two masked motorcyclists shot down Antony Guarini in 1967. Two weeks later, Marcel Franciski was shot during a political meeting in Corsica, but somehow managed not to die.

46:05 Four Guarini lieutenants were killed during the next month. In December of 1967, two men were blown to bits, planting a bomb in Franciski's home in Paris. In June of 1968, Franciski again escaped with his life, this time from a restaurant in Corsica, where five men opened fire with machine guns.

46:41 passerbys were killed during this. The machine gunners were taken care of four months later by others. They were murdered. All out gang warfare going on. One of the Guarini's efforts to avenge his brother's death ended with a 20 year murder sentence in January of 1970 with another brother's death in prison a year earlier.

47:16 Basically, the Guarini brothers were out of the picture, and they were the number one guys. That left the Franciski Venturi mob. The U.S. Narcotics Police have long-eyed Franciski as the man they refer to as Mr. Heroin. Whenever they tried nailing him, they ran into a roadblock. He had lots of acquaintances.

47:50 in all the right places. And in the French infrastructure, he was referred to as a successful businessman, not a gangster. Franciski's direct underworld contacts are people that he could trust, basically his brothers. He had three of them. They meet almost daily during this time period. Franciski had become even more careful.

48:26 Since they'd already tried to kill him a few times. And it says since 1972, the police has closed down many of his heroin operations. And that is in the 72 time frame where we have recounted many times Nixon's announced war on drugs was basically the big annihilation of the Corsican mafia because.

48:54 While the CIA was aware of them and worked with them, they were competition. And they preferred to have total control of the heroin market. So of the non-Corsican gangsters, the greatest was Joe Attia. He was referred to as France's most colorful criminal until his death. When? In 1972.

49:27 Though mentioned primarily because of his responsibility for Christian David's recruitment, basically as a hitman, he was also the first gangster to become an international espionage agent. And then he tells a little bit about his childhood and how he had been active in Marseille very young, joining gangs in Marseille.

50:01 And it said that the police very early on in his criminal career had caught him breaking in to a location. And he was sent to a North African penal battalion. There, he was taught how to box and how to shoot. What? Yeah. You're in a penal colony and they're teaching you how to use a gun? That seems a little weird.

50:35 He also became a good friend of another Marseille gangster, Pierre Luttrell. Once he was released, he went right back into the mafia in Marseille. During the war, he worked with the French resistance. His main contribution was confined to thievery. And basically,

51:11 was known to have supported the Germans on some occasions. In July 1942, he was arrested by the Germans and he was sent to a concentration camp. Within days of arrival, he glanced around through his barracks window to discover the SS agent beating a defenseless prisoner. He was mad and he knows how to box now because he was in a penal colony.

51:44 So he knocked the SS officer down. Had it not been for a high-ranking German officer impressed with his valor, he would have been executed on spot. From the German supply depot, he stole food for other inmates. He also stole medicine. Indebted to them for their survival, they basically gave him accolades once they were all free.

52:21 Following the war, Charles de Gaulle himself appointed Joe Attica to the Legion of Honor. Joe thought of entering the boxing ring, but by chance, he ran into an old friend from his penal colony days, Pierre Luttrell. In the meantime, Luttrell had become one of Paris' leading crooks. During the war, Luttrell

52:56 and his right-hand man had collaborated with the Gestapo. But he didn't care. Didn't matter. They joined what was called the Otto Gang, which was laying waste to a string of... So the Otto Gang was actually part of a string of murders and bank robberies. In 1946, the police finally caught up with the Otto Gang.

53:34 Southwest of Paris, 300 policemen were dispatched in armored cars to a hotel where the gang was holed up. There was shooting involved. Other than a few underlings, the only gangsters present was Attica and his buddy. They were dining at a restaurant nearby. When the sound of gunfire reached him, Luttrell sprang into his newly armored vehicle.

54:08 not to flee, but to go to the scene. At top speed, he swung through the bullet shower at the hotel restaurant, jammed on the brakes long enough for Attica to jump in. He then floored the gas pedal and disappeared. The police were just jaw-dropped. They couldn't believe what they were watching. Their luck ran out a few months later. They assaulted and shot a jeweler carrying the

54:41 haul of jewelry to the car. One of them had stuffed a pistol under his belt. It fired. It killed him. Probably not a good place to put a gun. They buried him and Attica took over in charge of this now gang. So he opened a chain of brothels and nightclubs, all cash.

55:15 He also started trafficking drugs and got in good with the Corsican Mafia. In 49, Attica was sent to prison for four years for concealing a body, a dead body, and illegal possessions of weapons. The prosecutor charging him with murder had asked for a life sentence, but Attica got off lightly thanks to the intervention of Colonel Beaumont.

55:52 alias Bertrand, of the SDECE, the French intelligence organization, whose life Attica had saved during the war. Helps to know people. When released, Attica was tracked down by his friend Beaumont, who had become head of one of the subdivisions of the SDECE.

56:29 The colonel offered him a large fee to locate a Moroccan terrorist hideout in French North Africa. Attica agreed to the job. He took a whirlwind course on how to be a secret agent. He left on several missions, mostly in Africa. Sometimes he was parachuted in. Other times he was flown in.

57:00 and driven around at times when he worked for beaumont uh he worked for beaumont but other times he worked for another colonel for cod he was in charge of another special subdivision of sdece they're basically rcia also the mobster roamed free under the wings of this intelligence establishment in 1956 adia

57:33 was sent to Morocco to kill a Moroccan rebel leader, Ala El Fassai. But he was arrested by Spanish authorities for blowing up a hotel in Spanish Morocco where his target was located. To ensure extradition to France, he confessed to murdering two Frenchmen who had sold weapons to Algerian revolutionaries. The trial in France was a mockery.

58:06 He was released. In 1957, while he was on an SDECE mission in Tanzania, a member of the defense minister's staff accidentally set eyes upon the SDECE gangster role and demanded to be told why Adia was working for the agency.

58:32 Colonel Furcard defended him as a marvelous personality, an admirable man, and one of their best agents. After 1958, Adia worked primarily for the Secret Intelligence Network under the Minister of African Affairs. In 59, he surfaced first in where? Katanga, the Congo. Then he went to the Ivory Coast.

59:04 In the Ivory Coast, he purchased a nightclub. It became the headquarters of Fercart's African spy ring out of the French government. Several attempted assassinations of black political leaders were planned in its back room. It's a CIA front for France to kill African leaders. Attica was an established espionage center.

59:37 He also had set up a restaurant in Paris. Again, another front for clandestine meetings. It is believed at the time that he was also fulfilling CIA missions in concert with SDECE, which makes perfect sense since we understand the whole stay-behind network ran out of NATO.

1:00:06 would be involved in all of this as well because they work with all of the intelligence units. The Church Committee report on assassinations of foreign leaders reveals that the agency's recruitment of European gangsters for the murder of Patrice Lumumba in the Congo. You mean where this guy just was in Katanga? Yeah, yeah, same stuff. The hitman, codenamed Q.J. Nguyen, was described

1:00:39 as a convicted criminal who could be dispatched on high-risk missions. Although Attica may not be the exact same killer, he definitely fits that description. And a second potential assassin was referred to as W.I. Rogue. He fit the description of that guy too. Around 1960, Attica met Christian David.

1:01:17 who was then just a small hood guy, gang. Together, they worked in Algeria. They were involved in a long series of shady intelligence capers, including the infamous kidnapping of Colonel Antone Argaud and Mede Ben Barka. After 1962, Adia was in and out of prison.

1:01:46 But that was probably more for his own protection. And that's another thing that we've noticed as a pattern. When they want them off the streets, they lock them up. And people think that because they're in prison, they're not part of the government. It's actually part of their cover to put these guys in. And they're not normally like in the Atlanta penitentiary. They're usually in some much more comfortable.

1:02:16 jail arrangement. And that gives them credibility in the underworld because it sends the picture that they're not part of the government infrastructure, even though this guy clearly is part of the government infrastructure. Eventually, he was officially kicked out of France. He then went to the Congo, of course.

1:02:49 Morocco and the Ivory Coast. But he traveled frequently to Paris, even though he was supposedly kicked out of Paris. Weird. We've seen that before, too. On 22 June 1972, he died of throat cancer. But before he did, he settled a score with a rival gang leader by the name of George Sicard and Christian Jubin. Jubin.

1:03:21 had raped Nicole, the daughter of Attila. So they were both handed over to the police. Within hours of his death, there were break-ins to his apartment and his restaurant. Someone definitely wanted to clean them up. So who would that have been? Most notably, the SDECE going to sanitize his areas.

1:03:54 That happens a lot. So that takes us up to chapter four. Crazy. Any comments? SR? Bridget? Adam? I see you up here, Stellar. Nope. Oh, hold on. Hold on. I'll be right back. Okay, I'm here. Just dealing with this Florida torrential rainfall that the colonel was talking about. I'm in central Florida Tuesday.

1:05:25 crazy i'm back hey yay can you hear me yeah i can hear you awesome all right where were we um anyway i want to thank everybody here on rumble and on spaces today uh sorry we didn't get to youtube but it'll be there yeah it it gets to me

1:05:59 I'm sitting here listening to this and everything that's been said up to this point concerning the mafia, how do you become an international spy? Well, you just hook yourself up with your country's spy agency and you by default become an international spy. But some of them end up in prison in America.

1:06:27 in a solitary confinement cell and then find themselves assassinated. It's just, it's crazy. And we're going to circle back to these guys. He's just kind of setting the table here of all of these characters. I obviously skipped a whole bunch of the names and stuff like that because these are people that we've talked about before. We're just trying to lay the groundwork.

1:06:54 because we're going to get to the murder of Ben Burka. And it remains an unsolved crime. But Henrik Kruger has a theory on exactly how the whole thing happened. And this Christian David was at the center of it. So you have to.

1:07:20 get the backstory on all of these guys and where they came from and how they're connected to gladio in um france and all of this other stuff for you to get the whole picture um which is where we're going um bridget go ahead one quick question it was something that came up right in the very beginning of the story actually swallowed glass actually swallowed a glass light bulb oh my god and

1:07:50 And then went on. I mean, that to me, I just, that is unfathomable. Sorry. I can't. Yeah. Just really just things, you know, I guess we've heard so many of the gory, awful details about it all day, but swallow glass. I mean, my God. Yeah. Yeah. Illini, go ahead. Right. Yes.

1:09:55 that's a very good and i sh i picked up because the other the second book that has been in my stack to do forever is alfred mccoy's book um and so thanks for bringing that up yeah there it is definitely a big book but i i've read that book and it is an amazing book um there's so much information in that book um what we may do

1:10:30 is, since I've been playing around with some of these AI tools, is we may be getting a summary of each of the different chapters and can kind of do it that way. And I will work on that because you're right. It will not be a book we can do.

1:10:52 um that includes all of the names dates and places but i think at this point with all of the material that we've covered we kind of have the basics down and so um going through and just pulling out the things that are new to the the general public um would be a good

1:11:13 And I can now use AI to go over some of the material that we've already covered, even though it's in audio, because they can create a transcript and be able to kind of filter it that way. I know you are. Yeah. Bridget, if you wouldn't mind getting that spam person out of the Rumble chat, I'd appreciate it.

1:13:25 Yeah, I agree. And I can't wait to have a tool that actually is capable of doing that. So anyway, anybody else want to add anything? No. Hey, Vegas Frog, what the heck? What are you doing here? Oh, my gosh. I haven't talked to you forever. What the heck? You better get up here and say hi. Oh, my gosh.

1:14:01 What's up, Colonel? How are you? Hey! How have you been? Good. Just busy, busy, busy. I just saw the head of space and I'm like, oh, shit. I think it's actually going to listen to you. Howard, you just dropped so many bombs. It's unbelievable. I just started telling people they need to follow you. You're a bunch of people that spread so much bullshit. It's unbelievable. Yep. Yep. So much crap out there.

1:14:32 um i'm sorry for swearing no that's fine it's not like i don't um but yeah it's so good to see you or hear you or whatever same old same old it's good to see bridget too how you doing bridget she always sends me invites i'm just always so busy at the time you do your spaces i know i know we're gonna have to move

1:15:03 Yeah, we're going to have to pick one night a week and do a nighttime show because it definitely is a different audience and a lot more people can make them. But we'll have to figure out what night of the week we're going to do that. Yeah, I would love to do that. I'll host a space and I'll use a guest. Yes, let's do that. We'll be like old times.

1:15:30 Right. There just needs to be more positivity on this space and just find the facts and live with what's happening. And there's so much black pilling. It's just black suppository at this point. That just drives me nuts. Yep. It's all your fault where I am, where I am. You know that, right? Trump rock. No, not at all. Your information is phenomenal. Yeah. A brilliant person, the opportunity to speak.

1:15:57 It always carries by what the people say. It's not where the space comes from. But you're the one. My first Spaces debut was on Trump Frog's show. That was totally sabotaged. Right, right. And Stellar would always just pump and promote you all the time. But you guys do good stuff. I mean, you tell the truth and you're sauce and sourced. You and Brian Cates do an amazing job.

1:16:28 Yeah, Brian's quite the character. He's on one right now, and I love it. Just call them all out. Call out the grifters and the frauds. Do it with facts. You don't have to be rude like a lot of people in spaces. Just post the facts. Yeah, I wish one time we need to record one of our Wednesday night dinners for everybody. Yes, I think that'd be pretty epic. Yeah, it's so funny.

1:16:54 Cause there's usually, I mean, my sisters are there. Um, my husband is there and the Kate's boys are there. Um, it's quite, quite the hoot, um, uh, getting us all going. I can imagine without people being around what people actually say. Yep. Well, I got a quick question. Sure. Um, what do you, what do you think is going to happen on Thursday?

1:17:25 Well, you know, it's funny that he's definitely said that he's going to talk about election stuff. Right. He made that clear today again. And I if I don't know if you guys felt it, but I said this on one of Tommy's podcast after the 1st of July leading into the 4th of July weekend, there was definitely a shift.

1:17:53 We went into a different phase of this operation. I can't characterize it, but it was very noticeable. The ops tempo changed, you know, back into Iran. And I don't know if you guys are as familiar with what's going on in Iran under the radar. But we.

1:18:22 came to the conclusion um a few years ago that despite there being a change in government just like i what what we were just talking about about putting these operatives in prison um that then basically allows everybody the false sense that they're not part of the government if you were going to change the government in iran

1:18:51 back in 1979 to make it not look like the previous government, but still controlled, you would put somebody like the Ayatollah in there. And we made the connection of the Ayatollah being allowed to hang out in where? Oh, France. You know, the hot seat of all of this chicanery. And that if he was viewed as an imminent threat,

1:19:20 Could they not have stopped him from traveling there? Sure, they could have. They didn't. And other than the assassination of a couple of the top officials of the SAVAK, the SAVAK is basically the IRGC of today. They function exactly the same way. They do the same shit. And so who was involved in Iran prior to 1979? MI6.

1:19:49 the CIA, and the Mossad. MI6 and the CIA, primarily the CIA in the immediate aftermath of the overthrow of Mossadegh, set up the Savak. We went through the Major General Norman Schwarzkopf was the guy on the ground that was doing that. Same guy that set up the New Jersey National Police. And MI6 shortly joins them because of...

1:20:18 their interest in the oil there with their oil company that had then enlarged the holdings to include Standard Oil. So they both have a vested interest in the SABAC protecting their resources there. But several years later, Mossad is on the ground. And I mean, it was just talked about within the last 24 hours about, what's his name?

1:20:49 Medina Shad being attached to Mossad. And so that provided the perfect cover for them to be the evil twin of Israel. And throughout all of this research that we've done, we know that in every one of these incidents, they control both sides.

1:21:14 So it is not outside the realm of possibility. And why else would Israel withdraw at the last minute when Trump took out Soleimani? If you start looking at the facts and not the rhetoric, it becomes very obvious something other than what's going on. And why do all of these Iranian officials own hundreds of millions of dollars of real estate?

1:21:45 In the UK, surely that would have been frozen at some point. No, no, none of it was. So it's just weird. And a lot of the IRGC and the military kids, where did they end up? Oh, they're in the United States, just living life like no big deal. And again, those things just don't happen.

1:22:13 The child of a world terrorist don't get to reside. But who else's kids was in the United States? Oh, Osama bin Laden. So again, if you start doing all of this research, you start seeing patterns emerge. And I think we're all going to find out that Iran.

1:22:41 wasn't really ran by the people and these evil terrorists that we were told that it was more of a controlled operation at the end of the day. So I don't know what else to tell you. But the most important part of what's going on right now, my husband's coming back from a car meeting, sorry. What's the most important part of what's going on right now?

1:23:10 is that all of the illicit funding that has been moving around the world being laundered for these covert operations is being taken off the table. And we pointed this out with Venezuela and then Iran, and eventually it's going to be Cuba as well, that no more covert funding of any of this stuff. The borders close, the the narco networks are being taken down.

1:23:40 And that's why I think the history that we're talking about is so important, because it allows you to see the patterns and it opens up your mind to the possibilities that more things can be true than what you're being told. And analyzing how they did operations in the past allows you to see the current operations being done in a completely different light.

1:24:07 Because again, we are traditionally trained to say, oh, that's a bad guy and he went to jail. So they must not be part of this protected class when in fact they are. And that's just a ruse. Bridget, go ahead. Hank. And just to add on to what you were, I thought it was awesome and so incredibly telling when Marco Rubio came out and denounced the ICC.

1:24:38 hold on the united states the international criminal court boy does not yes ever just ring back to what has been going on and set up and it's you just watching them disassemble it's like a giant okay we talked about a house of cards it's not a house of cards it's a giant jenga game you know the jenga game where you pull one piece and you pull one piece and boy

1:25:07 It is looking more and more like Swiss cheese each time they pull one of these pieces out. And it can only stand for so long. And you're seeing if you follow like the UNESCO and the one that I'm always sending you, the Council on Foreign Relations. Yes. If you look at their posts, you can see what they're doing is hurting them.

1:25:36 Yes. Because now they're getting more obvious and more extreme on their posts and more extreme on trying. We're rallying together. We're important. We're important. We're important. And it's like, no, you know what? You're not important. Not important anymore. And we just cut all of your strings. And they just keep trying to think if they can keep screaming that they are important, that they can fix this. And they're starting to realize.

1:26:07 that these are not temporary injuries that they can recover from, say, in the next presidential election. These are permanent injuries that will not allow them to go back the way things were. And it's just a glorious thing. What a time to be alive. What a time to see the history.

1:26:37 And what a time to be on the journey with all you guys, and especially, like, all of you that have been here with us since the very beginning. Like you, Vegas, Bob, and Stella and I, and Stella, and Renee, and Patriot Sarah, and Adam, and Shelly the Kiwi, and SR71. And, I mean, you don't understand what this journey has been like. It's like pulling Taffy.

1:27:06 with nails, you know, and a lot of people fall away. And that's fine. Yes, it's not for everybody. But it's so cool to see what we've been exposing come to light. And I even had somebody, a friend of mine, text me today and say, I am shocked at how many things you told me years ago are now coming out.

1:27:34 in uh the news yeah and it's like yeah it's what's interesting to me is you notice um again i i i love everything that bridget said i i think it's so funny that you know several months ago um when i did that um deep dig into the fabian society and probably over a year ago started posting about the pilgrim society and uh war hamster and i just started

1:28:03 covering them over the last month or so on the show that we do. And now how many times do you see the word Fabian on X? I mean, I see it at least once or twice every day in different posts. And I just, I love the fact that this information all matters now. Most of the people don't understand. They call them communists.

1:28:31 and it's not that it wouldn't eventually lead to communism but you guys know um that this whole socialist agenda in the united states ties directly back to the fabian society and you know why there's very few audiences in all of the united states that's ever even heard the word fabian but you guys all know what it is you

1:28:55 know exactly what the origins of it is and you know how it's manifested itself over time in the United States. And that to me is the beauty of all of this effort. And the more you guys repost our information, the shows and everything else, the more enlightened everybody else gets and they can see it too.

1:29:22 And it's only through those patterns of operation that we've discovered in this journey that allows us to look at the whole situation as it's unfolding in a completely different light than most people. So it's awesome. I love it. And that's why I'm not pessimistic to Vegas Frog's point.

1:29:48 i'm i'm never going to call you vegas frog sorry you're trump frog whatever you want um but that's the reason why i can't be blackpilled um because if you understand the underpinnings of this and where it all came from and how long it's existed the fact that we found somebody and to bridget's point the un is irrelevant nato is irrelevant the icc is irrelevant

1:30:18 Nobody even gives a shit about any of those international organizations for the globalists. The WEF rendered irrelevant. And that, to Bridget's point, is taking down their Tower of Babel. Adam, go ahead.

1:30:40 Yeah, I just want to say thanks, Colonel. You've been great. I've been doing 20 years worth of research. You've done a lot more than I have in a few years that you've been digging. I just want to thank you for filling in the gaps because I try to tell people it's all connected. It's all connected. You know what I mean? Everything is all connected.

1:31:03 you know to go through that the way you have been is amazing and you filled a lot of gaps for me and a lot of people i'm sure as well that have had parts of the puzzle and uh you're piecing it together beautifully thank you colonel thank you um and that's so critical that's the reason why all of you guys have made this possible because of exactly what adam just said you guys have done so much research over

1:31:32 An extended period of time. And the whole, I would not know half of what I know if it hadn't been for you guys feeding me information, telling me different books that you've read that overlap things that we've presented. And I do think that's the key to the whole thing is understanding the organizational structure. But from my background.

1:32:01 being trained in military, everything is basically hierarchical. And I had training on process analyst, process engineer is actually what they called it, where you go into an organization that you don't know anything about.

1:32:21 And you diagram out everything. And so that's the way my brain is now trained on how to look at these things. And the more information you guys fed me, I just put on this map of how this whole thing operates. And there's a hierarchical, while some things operate in tandem with each other, it is very hierarchical.

1:32:50 um as well and so that kind of is um just like feeding on all of this information and putting things where they belong and then trying to convey that um has i think been able so everybody can see the pieces that they've researched themselves get plugged into this entire network and um that's what made that's what's made this entire journey um so exciting for me

1:33:19 SR, go ahead. Thank you, Colonel. I also want to mention Warhamster and all of this and what's going on because when the Colonel talks about these secret societies and things that are happening, it goes bananas. You'll find out that you have more people from the same crew that just...

1:33:46 Not your socks off. Yeah, that's infiltrated everything. And those nodes are very, very important because it allowed us to create a template to look at somebody's history and where they were at at particular times, just like we originally did with the ambassadors, right? I can look at an ambassador's history and tell you whether he's a good guy or a bad guy.

1:34:13 or a bad guy and a really bad guy maybe is a better description of them um but it it's very very important to have that template um to be able to um use during your research and obviously secret societies is one of the elements in that template

1:34:34 where they went to prep school, if they went to prep school, where they went to college. And you find out all of these different secret societies interact with each other in an informal network that most people know nothing about. The same thing with the scholarships, the Fulbright Scholarship, the Marshall Scholarship, all of those. And Rhodes. And Rhodes. Illini, go ahead. I mean, this is a good puzzle piece to get at. Yes. Yes.

1:35:42 Yeah. Yes. Yep. Yes. And when Illini sent me that biblical reference with the translation of using what basically is like drugs, narcotics as a way of leading astray.

1:37:40 um it makes perfect sense um and that's why i um um it and i have said all along you guys um based on it is kind of eerie um how the information presents itself um on um topics that we cover um because of all of the information that we have it has

1:38:10 evolved at a particular time that makes the information much more relevant than even I know when I start down one of these rabbit holes. And I find it just very divinely inspired the mission that we're on in uncovering all of this information and the roots of it. Because again, it allows us to see things in a different light today.

1:38:38 and take a completely different approach to what's happening on the global stage than most people have the ability to do that lack this information. So anyway, okay.

1:38:54 So that's going to bring this session to a close. Thank you, everybody, for coming up and the conversation. It's my favorite part of the show. So thanks for everybody participating. And I will see you tomorrow. We've got the four o'clock and.

1:39:20 Tommy already released the crazy show we did this morning. It was a crazy show. It kind of went all over the map. And Crypto Rich, the show that we recorded at four o'clock today, probably will be out in the next 24 hours. We kind of delved into a whole bunch of topics.

1:39:46 We will be doing the Alpha Warrior show tomorrow night at nine o'clock. So thank you all for being here. God bless you all. And we'll talk tomorrow. Take care. See you guys later. Oh, let me go try to do a live thing since there's going to be a lot more live going on today. Hopefully.

1:40:13 And whoever put out that somebody on Badlands was live yesterday, thank you for doing that. I didn't see it until I was actually clicking the button. So if you guys have any live people shows that we can trust to be a good show, go ahead and put it in the comments section.

1:40:42 I will not hit the live button because I definitely need to get some of those done. I see. Let's see who is live. Oh, goodness. We'll go down through here. I don't see anybody I know. That's the bad thing. Why do they have shows that have already stopped on the live tab?

1:41:15 Do you guys see any good live ones? Look to Badlands first. Badlands Media. I don't know how to find their live shows. Let's see. There's a live tab. But see, it just shows. It doesn't show any of them live. It shows upcoming ones. But it doesn't show.

1:41:44 Any that's actually live right now. Why do they make this so difficult? Yeah, they don't have any up in their like live category that's live right now. Untold history. Let me find that one. Untold history. I don't know why that doesn't show up as being live.

1:42:26 Under the live tab on Badlands Media. I don't see it. If you have it, put the link in there. Maybe I can find it that way. Let's see. Space shot. Absolute storm is live. Let me find him. Absolute storm.

1:43:10 Okay, so see, I see all of his stuff, but I don't see one that's live. It just shows all of the completed ones. That's so frustrating. Live. So if you click the live tab, let's see. Back in time, Iran regime falls. I don't see a live one. It shows one that he's already done. That's so frustrating. Let me find that one.

1:44:10 That Bridget put up. See if I can find it. Okay. There's Apple Warrior. How about that? All right. Let's try that one. Click on this little button over here. Raid. Put the website in and go. Let's see. It looks like it's working. Thank you, Bridget. Okay. It worked. Thank you, guys. Have a nice evening.
