3:11 Okay. Okay, I think it's better now. I just refreshed it. So anyway, Chapter 4 is the French Intelligence Zoo. They have four different intelligence agencies as compared to our 18. They have the French CIA, which is the SDECE, the DST, which is basically like our NSA,
3:44 They have the RG, which is a police intelligence force, which is like the intelligence area of the FBI. And they have the SAC, which he refers to in this entire chapter as a de Gaulle's paramilitary force. And that's not exactly what it is. And I made the point that the book was originally written 10 years before Operation Gladio got exposed in Europe.
4:14 And so he's unaware that Operation Gladio is a thing and about the entire secret armies of NATO. And so be that what it is. He does make several points about Charles de Gaulle, that he was not opposed to the cloak and dagger, understanding that sometimes that's necessary. And he gives an example.
4:46 of when de Gaulle had to flee France at the time he was a general in charge of their military during World War II, and he was hanging out in London. And several of the people that was in the French resistance, which was kind of like a fascist element of Frenchmen that stayed in France. So they kind of have...
5:16 like the real frenchmen that were in support of france proper but they also had a separate element that was very pro-fascist and several of the people that were sent to de gaulle in london from france that and again de gaulle knows all about the military he grew up there
5:44 went through World War I. Several of the people they sent to have meetings with some of his staff and himself in particular, he viewed as traitors to France. And he had no problem killing them. So this is not a guy that is afraid of any of the cloak and dagger stuff, as the author makes very clear.
6:16 He even goes to the point, and again, it's not footnoted, but I am going to say it, that after the war, there were several corpses in the cellar of the abode that he resided in in London. So just understand where we're at. We're in the middle of World War II, and that's the French government in exile in London.
6:47 It says that the French CIA, the SDECE, was birthed after World War II, exactly like our CIA. It said that it employed 2,000 people, which was a similar size as the CIA when it originally was set up. It had a $25 million budget.
7:17 and an additional 50 million at their disposal based on what de Gaulle commissioned them to do. And it says that they had only had from 1945 until this book was written in 1980, only six chiefs of the French CIA.
7:48 He talks about some of them. It's not important to the story, except that if you can imagine an intelligence agency that is even more dysfunctional than the CIA, it would be in France. He talks about several of the things that were happening in France during this time.
8:15 And of course, he attributes them to de Gaulle, which we will find out later had nothing to do with de Gaulle and everything to do with Gladio. There were kidnappings, assassinations. And one of the people that were assassinated was a guy who headed a neo-fascist red hand that was responsible for a bunch of political murders. And again, that's Gladio. He just doesn't know it at the time.
8:48 that he wrote this book he says that the french cia is a story of continuous scandals murder plots kidnapping drug deals collaboration with the underworld and again he doesn't know it but he's describing operation gladio he talks about one particular guy that was a former and that's an air quotes french cia guy that hung out in cuba
9:21 And Washington. And again, this is during a time when Cuba was under the control of Batista. He said that he would tip off the United States about the presence of things that were going on in Cuba. He also goes on to say that French version of the CIA agents were working for a committee.
9:58 And they were responsible for a 1962 plane crash that took the life of the Italian oil magnet Enrico Mattei. And again, we now know because we've covered that a lot in our research, that was a gladio event. He describes Mattei as an Italian strongman on the verge of engineering.
10:28 an italian takeover of the french oil interest in algeria now that's not exactly what he was doing he was negotiating a new oil deal with the italian um government but he offered a very fair deal basically a 50 50 split and that of course was much better than the deal that the french was um
10:59 giving them. And he was killed. And he is under the impression that these are things that Charles de Gaulle is doing. No, because these same people are trying to kill Charles de Gaulle. Charles de Gaulle had nothing to do with this. This was all Gladio related. So he goes on to say that during a 1961 conference in Cannes, the
11:35 SDECE agent broke into a hotel room of the assistant secretary of state, George Ball, and photographed documents that Ball had in his room. An agent rummaged through the baggage of a Moroccan ambassador to France. And some of these people got caught doing this. He also said that the...
12:14 Number one, not enemy, but challenge to the French SDECE, their CIA, was the United States. And again, not understanding Gladio, what he's trying to depict is the good and bad elements. And there were good and bad elements in the French CIA. The bad elements were dealing with Operation Gladio and NATO.
12:44 And not at the direction of Charles de Gaulle. And so these guys are going around and they were in bed with the CIA. But the honest people that worked with Charles de Gaulle in their CIA, and there were some, were the enemy of the CIA because they understood what Gladio was.
13:15 and was trying to protect France from the Gladio operations on behalf of Charles de Gaulle. So it would appear to someone who has no context of Gladio that the entire entity was at war with the CIA, but that is not true. And we've talked about that at length. He goes on to talk a little bit.
13:46 about the 1958 SAC joining the battle against the Algerian Revolutionary Movement, the FLN. And that's when Algeria was fighting for their independence from France. And it says that the SAC agents were pitted against
14:14 the OAS, which is their Gladio element. And France was basically playing out a civil war amongst themselves, as well as the indigenous people in Nigeria, because Charles de Gaulle sent the forces that were within his control to France or to Algeria to ensure
14:41 that the transition to an independent country was smooth, while at the same time, NATO, who did not want that smooth transition, was sending in French OAS, their Gladio operators, to disrupt everything that Charles de Gaulle was trying to do. So yes, for someone who doesn't know anything about Gladio at the time they're writing this book, it does look like it's a crazy mess.
15:11 Once you understand what was going on, it's very easy to see what was happening. And we've seen this repeatedly. It's another one of those patterns where the forces that are trying to operate under a NATO hat is oftentimes at war with their country's loyalists.
15:38 As well as because this is in the aftermath, you know, like in the late 50s and early 60s, as well as trying to give all of these former colonies back their freedom. And the rich French people that were living in Algeria didn't want to give up their nice lifestyle and they weren't going to be able to maintain it unless they had the ability to enslave.
16:06 the indigenous people in Algeria. So a lot of chaos going on. And he mentions how the bad guys in France in the intelligence apparatus is in bed with all of the heroin traffickers that were in the Corsican mafia. And he goes on to talk about a 1968 student rebellion.
16:36 that the bad guys in France basically was terrorizing. And interestingly enough, he says that it was very comparable to what later happened in Chile. And again, we know that was a CIA coup. So very important that he's recognizing the similarities to other things that are going on, even though he doesn't have a name for it just yet.
17:09 So he talks about that under Pompidou, the guy that replaced Charles de Gaulle as the president in France, had a goal of centralization of the intelligence activities and that the French CIA
17:37 had been ordered to cooperate with the CIA because what are they about to do? They're about to basically take down the Corsican mafia in conjunction with the CIA so that the CIA can take control of the heroin networks out of Sicily and other places. So that basically gets us through that chapter.
18:09 So in chapter five, Assassin in Algiers, he goes back to talking about Christian David. He talks about the fact that he was born in 1929 in the south of France. And like most youths that were destined to participate in the underworld, he started off as a pickpocketer. And at age 21,
18:42 He had lots of charm and was very good looking. So he decided to get into the business of being a pimp. So he purchases a nightclub called Whiskey A Go-Go. But the proceeds from his prostitutes and the club was not satisfying enough for him.
19:12 He was very, very greedy. He had a taste of the life of being a playboy and needed a little more excitement. Beau Sarge, the guy we talked about, or Serge, Serge, whatever you, it's S-E-R-G-E. We'll call him Serge. That sounds much more French. He became the mastermind of bank robberies. At age 26,
19:45 He was arrested and sentenced to prison on armed attack, bank robbery, everything. One year later, he escaped and was on the loose. He was then recaptured and put in a different jail. But he didn't like that, so he escapes again in 1960.
20:17 of many of his underworld friends. It was probably then that he had impressed the gangster kingpin, Joe Attia, the guy that we were talking about yesterday, who would greatly influence Sir J's career. By February of 1961, David was again taken prisoner and returned to jail. It's like eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
20:53 But this time he was placed under supposedly close guard. Escape number three, if he could pull it off, would have to be much more daring. So he decides to start altering the way he acts slowly. He started saying babbling things, weird things.
21:28 He started shaking as if it was involuntary, but it was not. The doctor was so convinced that he was going mad being locked up that in 1961, like not even a full year in prison, he was moved to a mental hospital. Within months, he had convinced a nurse.
22:02 to help him escape. So he wasn't really crazy at all. But that didn't work out for him. He got chased and recaptured. So plans for David's future were being made outside the prison walls. Serious men were gathered and were discussing a list of names of people that they wanted in their new criminal club.
22:44 Weirdly enough, the house that they were plotting all of this in was France's ambassador to the Central African Republic, Colonel Roger Barbado. He had served in World War II and Vietnam. He was chief of what was called the Black Commandos in Algeria. Most of the men were members of an inner circle.
23:19 We're getting into Gladio territory here. Princes of the underworld. One of them that was chosen for this inner circle was Joe Attia. One of the other names was Christian David. One day in October 1961, David was taken from his cell to the government offices in La Rochelle. He was seated in a comfortable chair opposite.
23:54 of a man of influence and power, Pierre Larmarchand, a high-ranking man who was engaged to Charles de Gaulle's adopted daughter. When presented with the proposal, Christian David was dumbfounded. Freedom would be his if he agreed to join a terror corps assembled
24:27 to put an end to the Algerian operations of the OAS, the Gladio people. Beau Sergei had already joined the SAC. Though admission normally required to sponsors, the rules were waived in this time of crisis. In the Charles de Gaulle era, an almost religious
25:08 surrounded the SAC. The new recruit, David, was placed on a red carpet in the middle of a room. Two or three SAC leaders facing a wall listened to the enlistee as he swore allegiance. The leader would then declare, you are now one of ours in life and death. Sounds like a cult. Christian David and hundreds of others plucked from prison.
25:41 for an Algerian rendezvous. They were sent to a camp. They were ran through a crash training course in weaponry sabotage in hand-to-hand combat. On December 1st, they landed in Algiers. Their headquarters was set up in one of the nearby districts. David was installed in one called Andrea.
26:21 The pretty lane that led to its entrance was a large garden stocked with orange trees. It was blissful, unless you went inside. OAS terrorist activities led by Jean-Jacques Souzini and Roger de Galdry were at their peak.
26:49 Bombs hurled at Algerian restaurants, buses, public squares, killing hundreds of innocent civilians. An explosion occurred in Paris' metro station, killing eight passengers and wounding 30. The OAS had to be halted at all costs because they were not just attacking in Algeria. They were doing attacks in France.
27:19 just like Gladio does. The ensuing struggle between the French loyalists and the OAS, Gladio troops, was brutal. It resembled a bloody vendetta instead of a war. When seven loyalist bodies were found hanging from lampposts with their ears cut off and their noses cut off,
27:53 No one doubted that they had been killed by the OAS terrorists, the Gladio people. On 22 December 1961, the Loyalists exploded a bomb in a restaurant that was known to be always occupied by the OAS troops, killing 12. Eight days later, a large OAS force attacked one of their villas.
28:26 The Loyalists were about to ring in the New Year's when these blasts began all around them. 14 were killed, two were wounded. On 27 January 1962, the Loyalists captured several high-ranking OAS officers. One of them was Alexandre Tenseltoth, who had directed illegal radio broadcasts.
28:56 The captives was taken to the basement of one of the villas and tortured for names, locations. Tenselkoff later related his days of suffering at the hands of some of the loyalists. Four years later in Paris, Tenselkoff would recognize one of the hatchet men as Christian David.
29:34 In his book, which was banned and destroyed in France, Tinselkop described being tortured by thrashing, suffocation, and electrocution, and claimed that Pierre Lamarchand was present for part of it. On 29 January 1962, like any other day in Algeria at the time, was filled with cries of pain, profanity,
30:08 and black humor. David and Le Marchand were away. Inside were a total of 29 loyalists and prisoners. At 5 p.m., there was a violent explosion. The villa rose like a rocket as men, concrete, were hurled hundreds of yards in the air. The OAS had blown it up.
30:42 Miraculously, 10 men survived. Seven of those were the loyalists. Three of them were prisoners, among them, Tenzelkopf. In reacting to this violence, Christian David showed no restraint. The death of a friend would drive him berserk. A former SAC agent, Patrice Klierkopf,
31:15 claims that David was responsible for the murder of 54 people in his seven to eight months in Algeria. He described him as a born killer. When the smoke cleared five months later, on the 3rd of July, 1962, Algeria was independent in the vendetta that claimed the lives of 110 loyalists and over 400 OAS terrorists and a far greater number of bystanders.
31:48 Six years later, a pile of bodies was found buried in the garden of one of the villas. Most of them had been shot in the head. A new world had opened up to Christian David in Algeria. He established many contacts that would be crucial to his career. Among his buddies, and I'm not going to list all of their names, Joe Attia was one of them.
32:20 several others. Many of them decided to go over to the mafia where a lot of them had started because they were taken out of prison to go fight in Algeria for the French government. Beau Sergei had quickly ascended to the ranks of the elite. He had become a friend of many notables.
32:52 Overnight, he was transformed from a punk into a man to be respected. In the months following his return to France, David laid low to avoid being noticed by some of the OAS that was still present in France because he had gained quite the reputation of fighting them in Algeria. And he went back to his old ways of running a brothel.
33:26 But David had performed so impressively in Algeria that he was urged to become a full-time agent of the French CIA. He jumped at the chance and was given complete training at their official academy. Upon graduation, he went on a long series of missions back to Africa, particularly in Morocco. It's also believed that he was sent to Latin America twice.
33:55 once in 1962, and once in 1965. He specialized in weapon deals and the elimination of independent dealers who encroached on the French CIA's territory. Mostly, he was on missions for Jacques Foucart. It's F-O-C-C-A-R-T. He commanded
34:27 a bunch of special forces in france he had helped the um underworld in elections like fixing them in questioning in the us in 1972 he admitted to stealing ballots between intelligence assignments oh my gosh wait a minute what am i saying intelligence people rigging elections oh gosh
35:05 That doesn't happen, does it? Between intelligence assignments, David minded not only his own affairs, but those of Joe Attica, who was officially in prison and in exile in Africa during different periods of this. David ran two of Attica's houses of ill repute, I can't even say it, prostitution.
35:37 In the evenings, he would often be seen at Attica's bar in the company of gangsters. In those years, Beau Sarge played strange games in the underworld, gaining a footing in the Guarini gang, the one that eventually gets eliminated. He eventually becomes the boss of the Guarini's gang.
36:10 boss confidant. So like his best bud. One of the Corsican gangsters later told police of a curious summit that happened in January of 1965 in one of the Guarini's houses in Marseille. He said Corsican leaders were contemplating the liquidation of a former police superintendent.
36:45 who was corrupt, but they didn't like him. All of the criminal bosses of France were there, and some from Germany. Everyone awaited the arrival of the Green Brothers. Suddenly, the door opened and in walked a man with an 11.43 caliber in one hand, and it was Beau Sarge. He ordered all of us to reach for the sky so we could be frisk.
37:18 And then the Guarini brothers walked in. At the meeting, David allegedly angered one of the Guarinis by voting against killing the former police superintendent. Nonetheless, three hitmen shot him shortly afterwards. One of the murderers, Pierre Columbani, was tortured and slain.
37:47 in Corsica a few months later. Several Guarini clan members suspected that David had done that. From 62 to 66, David could be found everywhere, along with Joe Attica's band of thugs doing political dirty work. But Attica's favorite place was in Morocco.
38:23 where he had a chain of brothels. And David was oftentimes working in Lyon with a different gang. Together, they had pulled off some very well-executed robberies to include a 1964 armed robbery of Colombo Jewelers in Milan.
38:52 that their take was $2 million. David decided he needed to go on vacation. He then, in order to pay for his vacation, decided that he was going to rob an armored car, netting about $50,000. But what's weird about this is because he had such a reputation,
39:32 It wasn't like he was laying low. But if you guys remember when we were going through Paul Williams' book, a lot of the Gladio people, now supposedly Christian David is not in Gladio. He's working for the government of France. Maybe he's moonlighting. I don't know. But one of their ways of paying for extra things that they wanted to do was
40:01 armed robberies that's another pattern that we see later on especially here in the united states um but david christian david seemed to be operating in full view of everybody but no one touched him so that's weird on february 1963 de gaulle's security forces had uncovered a new conspiracy
40:36 to assassinate him. They were going to use a sharpshooter to kill him during one of his speeches at a military academy. Infuriated, de Gaulle summoned his man responsible for security, which was Interior Minister Frey. The French president had had his fill of assassination attempts. I mean, he racked up over 30 of them.
41:08 Frey went to Foucault, who put his intelligence agents to work. On February 22nd, one of Foucault's men in Rome reported that a man by the name of Argad was en route to Munich, where he would stay for a carnival. Foucault contacted the West German intelligence czar, yes, Reinhard Galen, the Nazi.
41:39 Gladio guy and requested help in bringing our God to France. But Galen refused. What's that tell you? That tells you that Galen, part of Gladio, part of NATO, was behind the operations to assassinate Charles de Gaulle. That's crazy.
42:12 On February 25th, Argott arrived in Munich from a Rome huddle with fellow OAS leaders, Vladio. Driving from the train station to the hotel, he could not have known that half a dozen disguised loyalists to Charles de Gaulle awaited him. Handed the key to his room, he was about to enter the elevator when he was accosted by two men.
42:40 The receptionist later recalled assuming the men were friends and they were going off to have fun because it was carnivaling time. Argon himself felt as if both of his arms were in a vice. Leaving the hotel, one of the men pressed a finger against a pressure point under his ear, causing him to faint. The loyalists placed their arms around his shoulders.
43:10 and walked over to a car and drove off the car headed out of munich towards a bridge a bridge that was near the french border racing down the third lane um its license plate revealed that it was part of the french army and the third lane is in um parentheses for those of you who don't know
43:41 It is not uncommon in Europe to have two lanes of traffic and then people just drive mysteriously in the middle of them fast. Like they're in charge and there's three lanes, not two lanes, even though it's clearly marked for two lanes. It's crazy. They do it all the time. The next day, Parisian police received a strange phone message about a blue truck parked at the entrance of Notre Dame's Cathedral.
44:13 Inside of was a package the police was sure to find interesting. The man on duty was inclined to disregard the call, but sent to patrolman to inspect the truck. When the police broke open the door, they found a man lying bound and gagged. His face red from a bloody nose. It's Colonel Argon.
44:46 The abduction became an international scandal. Diplomat wheels rolled. The Bonn regime, supported by the U.S., addressed a sharply worded note to the French demanding his return to Munich. Cynics, who believed the CIA had taken part in attempts on de Gaulle's life, charged that the Americans had been in touch with Argonne. Well, kind of.
45:16 Because, again, this is a Gladio operation that he was doing. And that's the reason why Galen didn't want to touch him and why the loyalists in France went and picked his ass up, obviously beat the hell out of him and left him in a vehicle in front of Notre Dame. Paris refused to release the OAS colonel. He was imprisoned.
45:49 And didn't get out of prison until De Gaulle, after he was convinced that the loyalists in his government had pretty much suppressed the OAS to a manageable level, gave in 1968 a general amnesty to all of the OAS people that he had imprisoned. And this guy gets released as a part of that.
46:22 That's the end of that chapter. We're going to go ahead and cut it off there because the next couple of chapters go together and I don't want to separate them. And it starts, chapter six starts with the Ben Burka affair, which is kind of one of the main parts of the book. So I don't want to separate the next two chapters. Go ahead, Stellar.
46:52 Well, you just knocked my pants off again. Okay. Cause you guys know that, or, you know, and so does Bridget and SR that, you know, cause I spend a lot of time in France and the South of France. Oh, sorry. SR you go first. I'm sure yours is more. No, go ahead. Stellar. Go ahead. Okay. Okay. So you guys are talking about Algeria and the mob and stuff like that. The Corsican mob and all that.
47:16 And it just seems like after like World War II, like you were talking about, like the Corsican mob, then it comes to Marseille. And in Marseille, when we were there, the last few times we were there, it was too dangerous to go there because like people were just doing all kinds of crazy stuff. It was completely overran. I want to say early 2000s, you know, as far as like the Algerian mobs and stuff like that. When we were in Cannes, there was all kinds of like the...
47:44 Russian oligarchy. They were all fighting each other. And we're talking massive amount of murders that were going on. I want to say that would have been probably around 2012, 2011, 2012, 2013. I don't know, but there was like all kinds of, you know, like wars going on. We're talking, you know, like gang wars. And it was with the different mobs, whether it was the DZ mob.
48:08 which replaced the Corsican mob, and then you have the Russian mob, and then the tie-ins with the casino, all around the south of France, including France, because the casinos are owned by one family in France that I know of. But everything that you're saying is being all dismantled. What was it, a few years ago, they had all those Sicilian mobsters go under trial and stuff?
48:35 Is all of this stuff being undone right now? Is that what we're seeing? I don't know. It's hard to get reliable sources in the French mafia criminal network. I've looked for some reliable sources as far as what's going on there today.
49:03 But it is interesting that you mentioned a lot of the Russian mafia went to the French Riviera area. And I've read a couple of articles about that. If you guys have ever been to France in the Nice, Cannes area, it's amazing.
49:29 That's exactly where I spent my time. I'll send you a whole bunch of information. That's what I'm telling you. I was living there on and off. We would spend the summers there. Remember I told you that I met the man who went with Putin that did the inauguration when Putin won? Those are all the people that I met in the freaking south of France in Cannes. So I'll send these things over to you because they used to send me all kinds of stuff. My other friend was an Italian guy, good friends, was a Berlusconi family.
49:54 trades he left the south defense now he's in paris so there's a whole shift going on over there it is an amazing area very wealthy um but it is corrupt as hell um at least it has been for a very long time i was there in the early 90s um the
50:16 Italian Riviera right before you get to Monaco and then you go into France. It's a wonderful place to go on vacation. But I don't know how anybody lives there. The same is true on the island of Sardinia and Corsica. It is old, hundred-year-old. You think the Hatfield and McCoy scenario that people talk about here is bad.
50:46 It's like a hundred times that in many of these locations where people have been feuding with each other. And if you don't know about what's going on, you can be caught in the crosshairs. And just like one of the things we found out early on is one of their favorite ways of money laundering were these restaurants. And a lot of the restaurants over there in those areas.
51:14 are basically fronts for money laundering and they're not like insignificant restaurants they're very famous restaurants and they're ones that a lot of these people go to and you walk in there and it happens to be a bad day between rival forces and you might not make it out
51:37 And just unsuspecting tourists gets caught up in some of these basically like gangland slaughter fest. It's a crazy environment. And when I took a tour to Nice that was set up by the base, we had to have a security briefing before we went.
52:03 to kind of give us the lay of the land and what to look for. It's crazy. And I'm looking at my ex going, do I really want to go? I'm sure I really want to go. But anyway, SR, go ahead. Thank you, Colonel. And thank everyone for being here on YouTube, on Rumble and on Spaces. I noticed our YouTube is significantly grown, which is great.
52:35 What bothers me out of all of this is they have no regard for human life. None. Absolutely zero. And it doesn't matter who. Doesn't matter to them. Nope. Not at all. It just blows my mind. I agree. Tunk New York says, what about nail salons? I don't know. I didn't go to nail salons when I was in Europe.
53:07 I was still in the military. I didn't get my nails done. Stellar, go ahead. Art galleries and yachts. Art galleries and yachts. That's how they do a lot of their smuggling. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, we learned that they have those on all of the ports. They have those zones that is not considered.
53:34 part of the country that they occupy in the port they're still considered an international entity and in the one um i don't remember the book but they're describing it happened in monaco um that this guy that had been involved in you know like art as stellar mentions and buying all of these you know multi-million dollar
54:03 pieces of art. And he basically was money laundering for this entire network. And he never took possession of this stuff. It was locked away in this international warehouse at the port. And the spouse is describing this like hundreds of thousands of square feet warehouse that has
54:32 all of these artifacts and um art pieces and all of this other stuff um like million dollar vehicles and stuff that had been housed in this climate control international port facility and they end up he cheats on her which was really stupid um and she's telling the court
55:01 that he owns all of this stuff in this and it all comes out in this divorce proceeding that and he doesn't actually own it he's money laundering for somebody and it becomes this big fiasco of exposure of not just the money laundering part that he was doing but the fact that these port facilities exist as part of the hidden wealth network
55:31 It was a crazy story. I don't remember exactly which book that was in, but it was like, holy crap. You just learn so much about the world that we're all ignorant of because we're not mafia or criminals. But there's a whole nother part of the world that these people operate in that's completely invisible to most of us. Stellar, go ahead.
55:57 And also talking about art in the south of France. So you had Picasso from Spain and what was going on. Remember, he was in exile and he was in France during World War II and stuff like that. So there's a lot of that stuff that was going on. You know, Gauguin, a whole bunch of different ones as well. Knowing where Monaco is next, you know, and then Antibes, Cape de Aisle. You guys all are familiar with like Rothschild's.
56:26 Bill Gates has property there. Steve Allen used to. He used to leave his boat, his yacht, and I called it a boat, his yacht. He had two of them when he was alive in Antibes. Also, it was raw, priceless works of, you guessed it, Picasso pieces were stolen. So there's a lot of shenanigans that go along with those art stuff.
56:53 you know, throughout Europe. And then again, with the shipping and the rich people, like, you know, like even Onassis, if you want to go back in the old days, then what was he, you know, what was he big for in Greece?
