0:07 Okay, hope everybody had a great weekend. We are going to get started. Let me get the chat over here. Okay, we're on chapter 32. We'll either be done today or tomorrow with this book. So let's get started.

0:39 This chapter is called Rolling Stone Weighs In. And of course, that's talking about the magazine. In late 2024, they published a long investigative article about Mayan Jaguar. And they had access to a Homeland Security IG report that had previously...

1:11 not been known about. And it was talking about that, remember in the previous few chapters, they were talking about that electronic device that had been affixed to these aircraft, supposedly so they could track them. So that's basically what was addressed in the Rolling Stone.

1:38 So he has an excerpt from the article, which I'm going to read. After the Gulf Stream 2 crash, the Department of Homeland Security, IG, began an investigation of narcotics smuggling operations under the auspices of Operation Mayon Jaguar, according to IG reports. The alleged government smuggling took place with the consent.

2:05 of special agents from ICE office in Tampa, Florida. Mayon Jaguar agents wrote in a memo that their operation was interagency collaboration developed by the intelligence community, which again is clear text for CIA. When asked if they were involved, the CIA declined to comment on specific operations, but issued a statement.

2:31 The suggestion that the CIA somehow engaged in unlawful drug trafficking activities is false. The CIA is committed to U.S. law. And I'm sorry, but that's like laughable at this point. The article goes on. When first contacted in 2022, the CIA suggested that the Director of National Intelligence might be able to clarify the reference to intelligence community.

3:00 The DNI supervises what it calls the intelligence community, including the CIA. I will see what I can find, the DNI told Rolling Stones, but never heard back from him. And of course, that's the Biden DNI at that time.

3:22 So the drugs flew to their destination freely and ultimately into the U.S. in a number of cases. And the CIA, which is charged with spying overseas, simply had no clue any of it was happening. The narrative pushed by the government is that just a few rogue ICE agents were out there doing their own thing. And we had no way of knowing they were doing that because we're not an intelligence agency and we don't pay any attention to that. And this went on for years.

3:56 You know, had no clue what was going on. The FBI didn't know. No one knew. Just a bunch of rogue ICE agents. According to the IG report obtained by Rolling Stones, the Mayan Jaguar agents penned a memo indicating the cocaine plane scheme was an interagency operation.

4:24 The Rolling Stone article also reported that whether the IG concluded ICE trafficked drugs is unknown, adding that the IG document makes clear that unauthorized disclosure of this report would result in criminal, civil, and administrative penalties. In other words, don't tell a soul. Charles E. Allen served as Undersecretary of the Office of Intelligence and...

4:56 analysis at the Department of Homeland Security under George Bush II. Allen was also a veteran of the CIA and a major player in the Iran-Contra scandal that played out in the 80s during the Reagan administration when George Bush I served as vice president. For ICE to be cleared to operate on a high-profile overseas mission like Mayan Jaguar,

5:25 which allegedly involved coordination with the CIA, it is very likely that Allen, as DHS chief intelligence guru, was clued in on the operation since ICE is part of DHS and ran the intelligence part by the CIA. Allen is not the lone Iran-Contra veteran to serve in the high post.

5:55 within the Bush II administration when this operation was playing out. John Negroponte, who prior to taking over the post as U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, served as the DNI, and Elliott Abrams, who served as the Deputy National Security Advisor for Global Democracy Strategy, and who allegedly played a role in helping orchestrate the failed coup of Venezuelan

6:24 President Chavez in 2002. So it was basically just a collection of the old team. Could the CIA act in coordination with other U.S. intelligence agencies on a given operation, such as the Department of Defense's National Security Administration or its National Geospatial Intelligence Agency? They certainly can and have.

6:56 Regardless of which agency takes the lead on any given operation, it is clear that the intelligence community, in air quotes, including the CIA, often team up, especially when it comes to narco trafficking. The author's takeaway overall, he was grateful for the Rolling Stones article and carried the story just a little further down the field.

7:31 Um, he was not, and what's interesting about this is since he had written about, um, the guy that wrote this book had written so much in Narco News about the Mayan Jaguar, um, escapades repeatedly. Don't you think it's weird that the Rolling Stones never contacted the author while they were working on this story, which is weird.

8:04 And he makes note of that. He said he'd been reporting on this operation while it was still ongoing. So he didn't understand why they would not contact him. Because in the old days, just like at the beginning of this book, where he was talking with Gary Webb and all of the other people that were kind of working on similar stories, that's the way it used to be. Okay, moving on.

8:34 Grown Code is the last part of this book. This talks about U.S. and Mexican border operations. There was an article published in the Federal News Network in March of 2024. Quinn Palmer, the National Operations Director for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems,

9:03 at Customs and Border Patrol and Homeland Security Department, said the use of drones had evolved across the agency's mission sets. To that end, Palmer said, the Customs and Border Patrol had grown its drone pilot crew to about 2,000, with more than 330 systems from just half a dozen systems and 20 operators in five years.

9:33 Future plans to grow it even more by 2024. In 2025, the CIA expanded secret drone flights into Mexico to gather intelligence on drug cartels, while the U.S. military was stepping up drone flights along the border. Well before that, U.S. drones were put to use in the drug war, including inside Mexico, by at least 2011, with an agreement.

10:05 with the Mexican government, which was part of the then president Calderon's war on cartels. From a 2011 report in the Washington Post, quote, the Mexican government confirmed that it had authorized the use of U.S. drones to collect intelligence on several occasions, a new sign of the two countries intensifying cooperation against drug cartels threatening Mexico.

10:33 But until now, the flights were secret, apparently out of concern for potential backlash in Mexico. Mexican politicians and the public have historically been highly sensitive of U.S. involvement in the country. The Mexican government statement did not specify which U.S. agency was running the drones. A lawsuit that was filed in Suffolk County Superior Court in Boston in late 2009 offered a detailed snapshot.

11:04 of the CIA operations inside the U.S., specifically what appears to be agency contracting practices that make the veracity the victim of subterfuge. The litigation involves a breach of contract dispute between two high-tech companies. One, a publicly traded computer hardware firm called Netezza Corp. N-E-T-E-Z-Z-A.

11:34 and another small privately-owned software company called Intelligence Integration Systems, Inc. They were both based in Massachusetts. The litigation hit the court quietly in November 2009. The complaint was filed by Netezza. Netezza? One exception to this, like, no news at all.

12:06 was a financial publication called TheStreet.com, which published a short story in July of 2010. The author was contacted by a lawyer that was very familiar with the case. And he followed up with his first story in August of 2010, the author did. It was the initial salvo in what turned out to be a year-long multi-story investigative series.

12:38 one of the most comprehensive coverage of the case at the time. The lawsuit revolved around a series of claims and counterclaims related to sophisticated analytical software program developed by one party to the litigation, which was the Intelligence Integration System, Inc. That company's abbreviation is IISI. The software...

13:07 is capable of rapidly integrating spatial data like maps and visual images with non-visual data like names and telephone numbers. Here's how the software known as IISI Geospatial is described in the court pleadings. Quote, the software allows a data warehouse computer such as one model made by Netezza

13:36 to incorporate and cross-reference vast amounts of data with geographic locations within the same database and enable events such as tornadoes heading towards a population center or a cell phone signal moving from one tower to another to be matched with personal characteristics in a database, such as a telephone number or house addresses that may be in the path of a hurricane or a tornado.

14:08 or to identify the person whose cell phone signal has moved from one tower to another, allowing it to be mapped and analyzed quickly and efficiently. The essential argument in the lawsuit between Netezza and IISI boils down to whether IISI was required to develop another version of its geospatial software for a new data warehouse computer product that was being launched by Netezza in 2009.

14:37 Both parties in the case agree that IISI did sell a version of Geospatial for Netezza that was designed to operate on the company's prior data warehouse platform. That was called Netezza Performance Server. However, IISI argues that per a contract agreement between the two companies,

15:02 It was not required to develop a new version of its software to operate on the latest new product that Netezza was creating called TwinFin. That was unveiled in 2009. From an IISI memo, it said the following. Unbeknownst to IISI at the time, August 2009, Netezza had already represented to the U.S. government that

15:30 geospatial was running and available on Twinfin when it in fact was not and had been representing at trade conferences that it had a geospatial product that ran on its new Twinfin computer which it did not because they had not worked out a new contract with IISI and IISI's

15:57 former contract was for a particular program that Netezza had. There was no, hey, you can port this over, you can use this indefinitely. It was designed for one product, one system, and they were out advertising that they had already gotten IISI on board and was using the same data, which they had never even discussed with IISI yet.

16:28 Netezza, by contract, contends that IISI was required to adapt their software to their new hardware. But it runs on a completely different platform and it has different processing chips. It's literally a brand new system. A judge needed to be able to work that out.

16:55 It's important to note that IISI also argues in its court's pleadings that the agreement between Netezza includes clear language prohibiting Netezza from reverse engineering IISI's geospatial software. And that is precisely the point where the CIA entered the dispute. Again, from court pleadings, quote, Netezza hacked.

17:23 into IISI's geospatial source code in violation of its no reverse engineering provision of the agreement and created a version of geospatial that ran on TwinFin, though very imperfectly, which it delivered to the CIA in October 2009, and which the CIA accepted. So basically, the...

17:56 Netezza marketed this and hacked into, reverse engineered a proprietary system and then sold it to the CIA. That's really, really interesting. More specifically, the imperfectly operating software had the following problems. According to an internal Netezza email,

18:30 Included in a PowerPoint presentation, IISI filed in court proceedings, quote, the results on the customers, Netezza's twin fin 12, returned much faster than the previous. But for some strange reason, many of the calculations are off a little bit, up to 13 meters off. Now think about that for a second.

19:02 If you're conducting an operation with a drone that has a missile on it, 13 meters is pretty big. If you're collecting data on people, 13 meters is pretty big. The customer referred to in the Netezza internal email is the CIA. They don't name it, but it is.

19:32 The agency's need for an operational Netezza twin fin utilizing the IISI's geospatial was represented by Netezza's executive as a matter of patriotic duty in trying to intimidate IISI into doing it anyway. According to a sworn deposition of the IISI president and co-founder Richard Zimmerman, this is Zimmerman's comments.

20:03 Netezza General Manager John Shepard called me immediately before that. He called me on the phone. I was in my car. The question, was that on or about October 10th, 2009? Zimmerman's reply, I believe it was on October 9th. Question, and what did Mr. Shepard say to you at the time? Zimmerman's response, he basically told me the CIA.

20:30 He had just been informed that the CIA was using, wanted to use Spatial, Netezza's brand name for I-I-S-I, geospatial, to target AIM predator drones in Afghanistan. And that it was our patriotic duty to work with them to try to get Spatial ported to the Netezza twin fin as fast as possible. And that we needed to have a phone conversation the next day to discuss that. Question.

20:59 Who was on the call? Zimmerman said Netez's president and CEO, Jim Baum, B-A-U-M, was on the call. Jim Baum led the call. Myself, Paul Davis, the co-founder and CEO of IISI. Marshall Peterson, another IISI co-founder, was on the call. John Shepard was on the call. There may have been others. Question.

21:26 And ultimately, did IISI communicate to Netezza after the conference call that it would not do what Netezza wanted it to do, produce incremental versions of the software in the way they had been requested, at least without additional terms and conditions, i.e. a new contract? Zimmerman, I think our message said that your proposal is not, we're not going to do that without additional terms.

21:56 You know, again, coming back to Paul Davis's desire not to have IISI code out there that hasn't been certified and whatnot without having some sort of terms around the indemnifies, that indemnifies us in the case that people get killed, unquote.

22:24 According to IISI's pleadings, Netezza's officials claim the CIA needed Twinfin with operational IISI software to use in the spy agency's Predator drone program, which involves the use of unmanned aircraft to target and kill people in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and anywhere else. Predator drones also have been deployed along the U.S.-Mexico border by Customs Border Protection.

22:54 part of Homeland Security. According to a 2018 Cato Institute report, since fiscal year 2006, Customs and Border Patrol Air Marine Operations has operated Predator B drones, a version of the military Reaper, along the border. A drone crew consisting of a pilot, a sensor operator, a radar operator controls the aircraft, relays the information about suspected crossings to U.S. Border Patrol.

23:25 Unquote. The issue of the drone coat being off 1 to 13 meters seems problematic and should be when drones are being used to kill people. And the fact that Netezza was doing the bidding of the CIA for profit is not the stuff of conspiracy theories. Netezza has engaged in national security related work in the past with Sandia and Lawrence Livermore Labs.

23:54 Netezza also manages to obtain a rare order from the SEC, granting the company permission to cloak some of its filings with the agency. So they're operating basically as an arm of the government and are allowed to make secret SEC filings as a result of that.

24:21 IISI's pleadings in the litigation allege that once it became clear to Netezza's officials that IISI was not going to cooperate in upgrading the geospatial software for TwinFin absent a new contract, the national security card got played. Netezza's goal was to pressure IISI into making available a new version of geospatial for the TwinFin platform, even if it didn't work right.

24:50 From IISI's memorandum of law in support of the judgment that they were seeking, quote, Netezza suddenly began pressuring IISI to develop a version of geospatial to run on the twin fin on an accelerated incremental basis, claiming that national security required it, that the government would take whatever we give them, unquote.

25:20 And when IISI officials refused to cave in to the pressure, IISI's pleadings claim that Netezza proceeded to hack, create a pirated version of their geospatial software, resulting in an imperfect end product that allegedly was sold to the CIA to use in a drone program. Maybe that's why we were killing wedding parties. That's crazy.

25:53 When you sell something that doesn't exist, the risks are endless, IISI said. Former CIA spy manager that talked to the author said, the risk of suggesting that U.S. National Geospatial Intelligence Agency might also somehow be connected to the Netezza computer purchase.

26:22 National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, which is part of the Pentagon's intelligence community, has a support team embedded inside the CIA that has a powerful force in assimilating CIA into the National System of Geospatial Intelligence, integrating geospatial intelligence into the CIA's processes, building collaborative partnerships.

26:47 They increase the developmental opportunities and facilitate cross-training programs. The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency's mission, according to its website, is to develop imagery and map-based intelligence solutions for U.S. national defense, homeland security, and safety of navigation. That means the agency also works with Department of Homeland Security, which, as mentioned, also operates Customs and Border.

27:18 drone aircraft, including the Predator drone, along the U.S.-Mexican border. Susan Meisner of the National Geospatial Agency Public Affairs Office confirms that her agency has a support team at the CIA and at numerous other agencies. Beyond the one-sentence warning offered by IISI's CEO Davis, he and other

27:53 Company officials declined further comment, referring him to the pleadings. The author, Neteza spokesman Glenn Zimmerman, declined any comment, indicating that his company policy was not to discuss pending litigation. Another part of the pleadings, quote, the civil action by Neteza's corporation arises from an unlawful attempt by intelligence integration systems to coerce Neteza.

28:24 to renegotiate a deal that no longer suits IISI and in the process extract additional money to which it is not entitled. IISI's transparent scheme to hold Netezza and its customers hostage by the improper withholding of software support and services that IISI promised to provide and for which Netezza has paid is not only a material breach.

28:51 and cause of termination of the contract between the parties, but it's torturous, misconduct, and unfair deceptive trade practice. So Netezza is accusing ISI of reneging on their contract, which clearly says it's not to be used on any other hardware, and you're not allowed to reverse engineer it. Netezza did both.

29:20 But they're blaming IISI. In their counterclaim, IISI alleges that Netezza breached the original contract, misappropriated trade secrets, and defamed them. Not to anyone's surprise, the CIA appears to be a silent party to the case, with the exception of one of its supposed employees, Skip McCormick.

29:51 He makes a late dramatic appearance in the case shortly after Netezza sold a Twinfin computer to a reseller called CompSec, like computer security. That Twinfin purchase, according to Netezza's email, that is part of a court record, was apparently part of an even larger government purchase deal from the email referenced in the court proceedings that was sent on October 12, 2009 by Netezza.

30:22 Netezza's CEO, Baum, quote, our U.S. government friends, among which is the CIA, has ordered 10 Mustang racks and 14 Twin Fin racks. All but two are also delivered since the deal started to flow last year around this time. Add that to the deal for Twin Fin and SW, only system.

30:54 that is brewing, and I think the total is close to $40 million. Not bad, considering the process only really got started about 18 months ago. Why couldn't this be more like $100 million by the end of 2010? I wouldn't bet against it. So, just from my government contracting experience, obviously, Netezza got a new contract for Twinfin.

31:27 That's separate from the contract that they had prior to their other system, which they then sublet the geospatial part of it to IISI. They went out and got a new contract for a new system, Twinfin. Then they were trying to intimidate IISI into just transporting their geospatial software into their new hardware system.

31:54 that they got a new contract and they didn't want to cut IISI in on their new contract. They just wanted to say, hey, we're just using the same shit. We already bought it from you. No, no, that's a different hardware system. And we're going to have to retrofit our software to fit on your new hardware. And they were like, yeah, no, we're not going to do that. We'll just hack your shit and put it on our new system. And it didn't work very well.

32:26 A purchase order was delivered to Netezza in mid-September 2009, calling for the acquisition of Twin Fin 12 for a little over a million dollars, along with the system software dubbed Netezza Geospatial for Netezza Twin Fin 12. That's their reversed engineered bullshit thing. That purchase order also included an exhibit in the court pleadings. It was submitted to Netezza from a McLean.

32:56 Virginia-based company called CompSec. It is worth noting that according to IISI's pleadings, there is no geospatial software developed by IISI for TwinPen. So whatever geospatial software was delivered to CompSec per the purchase order would appear to be other than IISI-approved software. CompSec bills itself, according to its website, as a small

33:26 woman-owned business that is intelligence community's most trusted source for solving complex IT problems. That's on their website. An executive with ComSec who asked that his name not be used said the company's mission is to help the federal government procure anything. Essentially, he said, the company is a reseller, primarily serving federal agencies.

33:54 and that nothing precludes CompSec from selling equipment such as TwinFin to the CIA, though he would not confirm that they did that. Whether the TwinFin sold by Netezza to CompSec is the same Netezza TwinFin resold to the CIA is currently unknown. However, it is clear that the individual named Skip McCormick, who claims to be a CIA employee, did contact IISI's CEO Davis.

34:25 from an affidavit prepared by CEO Davis as part of the lawsuit. This is what the affidavit said. During this same October 2009 time period, I was contacted on the telephone by an individual who identified himself as Skip McCormick. He claimed to be associated with the CIA and exclaimed an interest in acquiring a version of geospatial that would operate on Twin Fin.

34:52 At the time, I was on my way to the hospital having a relapse from a heart attack that I had had, and I was in no position to speak to him at any length. I also could not verify that he truly was a CIA representative. A few minutes later, I received an email dated October 14th, 2009, indicating it was from Skip McCormick at an email address that basically says, Skip,

35:21 at ucia.gov, stating, we depend on geospatial tool here every day, and we just upgraded to a P12, which I knew was Netezza's numerical designation for TwinPen, but it doesn't have the geospatial tools. The email went on to say, I am trying to figure out what options are available for getting it ASAP.

35:47 Since I knew there was no geospatial tools in existence to run on TwinFin at the time that I received the email, I assumed when the email referred to wanting to figure out what options were available for getting them, it was referring to options for a development effort to create a new version of geospatial to run on TwinFin. Weird that the CIA would be contacting them directly.

36:15 after they had already told Netezza, we're happy to do it, we just need a new contract. According to court documents prepared by IISI, the alleged hacking of the geospatial software by Netezza personnel appears to have begun right around that same time, within days of McCormick's contacting IISI. And it appears to have been completed by mid-November.

36:46 according to court filings. An internal Netezza email dated October 13th, 2009. Guys, this relationship with IISI is really taking some ugly turns. I want to set up some time on Thursday to get on the phone with you guys to talk about some options in the event we need an alternative twin fin solution. Another email dated the following day.

37:14 Whoever we decide to partner with should be clean. Someone that IISI can't go after for IP infringement. In other words, they're going to steal it. Another internal Netezza email dated a week later, subject spatial workaround on Twinfin. Here's a quick summary of what we did. Modified the install script to use.

37:44 x86 version of the spatial library on the host. We also added in the line to make the code dependent on the library that we created in step one. I can go in and modify the installer this weekend if you want. The next day, another email. Spoke to Skip, Skip McCormick of the CIA. Sri, S-R-I, who's a tech guy, and Chuck, Skip's boss, were standing right there.

38:16 We are satisfied that the TwinFin spatial performance for right now, while we quickly figure out the best path to getting spatial, the Netezza hijacked version of IISI's geospatial, fully ported into TwinFin. And let's see, three weeks later, there's an email. Suddenly, I am seeing a lot more types of errors in the spatial toolkit hack.

38:49 He actually called it a hack in an email. The author tracked down McCormick via his Virginia phone number buried in court filings. When asked directly whether he worked for the CIA or whether he was familiar with or participated in the hacking of the geospatial software, McCormick indicated that he was precluded from commenting. An official spokesperson for the CIA provided the author with the following response.

39:22 about McCormick. The CIA does not, as a rule, comment on pending matters in U.S. courts. The author spoke with a CIA source who was familiar with issues raised in the Netezza IISI lawsuit. That source, who asked to remain anonymous, claims that Twinfin purchased by the CIA from Netezza was in no way intended for use in kinetic operations, such as drone program.

39:52 That's literally the purpose of it. It's being used in a very boring capacity, they said, to consolidate information, just one more vector to figure out who we're dealing with. The source, though, also claimed to have no knowledge of the IISI geospatial software piracy. From the point of view of Netezza modifying IISI's geospatial

40:23 software code absent their approval would not constitute piracy if the judge determines that Netezza owned the software and that IISI was obligated under contract to upgrade it to perform on TwinFin. Even if we set aside IISI's vigorous assertion that it controlled the software rights and is under no obligation to transport their software to a new system,

40:51 That doesn't explain why the CIA would purchase and put into use a computer system that was flawed. As the email trail put into evidence seems to indicate, that was the case with respect to Netezza's hack. Regardless of the software's use, that would appear to represent a monumental waste of taxpayer dollars.

41:15 That wrong is only magnified if the computer code is put to use as Netezza's officials represented to IISI to target and kill people. That issue of the CIA's alleged misconduct simply doesn't seem to be one that can be addressed adequately, if at all, by a state court judge that's now hearing the contract case.

41:41 One former DEA agent who has plenty of experience dealing with CIA operations overseas finds nothing surprising about the low standards of accountability when it was applied to the agency. The former agent, who asked not to be named, offers his take on McCormick and the CIA's role. Quote, there are many CIA impersonators out there as Albus impersonators. The agency itself, after working alongside of them,

42:08 with them and watching them for many years, reminds me of a day room at a nut house where there should be a sign, come in and play any role you want, unquote. The difference is that the CIA actually pays these guys to pretend they're spies or soldiers of fortune or whatever they want. Usually when one tries to unravel CIA intrigue, all you come up with is a JDAM.

42:44 Interesting. On August 20th, 2010, IISI scored a victory in a legal battle with Netezza. The judge in Suffolk County Superior Court in Boston ruled a breach of contract claim filed against IISI should be dismissed. In fact, the judge ruling states that it was Netezza that improperly terminated its contract with IISI.

43:13 In addition, the judge ruled that IISI is not required to update its proprietary software called Geospatial for use in a new data warehouse computer that Netezza allegedly sold to the CIA for use in the agency's drone program, according to the judgment. The court concludes that IISI was not contractually obligated to make its geospatial software product work on Netezza's TwinFin computer.

43:41 Because Netezza thus has no reasonable expectation of proving its claim that IISI breached an obligation under the agreement by refusing to make its geospatial software operate without error on TwinFin Appliance, summary judgment was entered for IISI on Natera's breach of contract. So, very, very interesting.

44:10 There are several additional claims made against Netezza by IISI that remain pending in court, including a request for an injunction prohibiting Netezza from continuing to manufacture their software. Huh. Isn't that interesting? The Boston-based software development company.

44:38 IISI in the fall of 2010 sought a court order from a judge in Boston, if granted, threatened to require the CIA to return the hack software it had required for the predator drone program. They filed that motion on September 7th, 2010 for a preliminary injunction where it had been engaged in their longstanding legal battle.

45:06 After IISI indicated that it was not bound by contract to deliver the proprietary software to Netezza, Netezza created a re-engineered version of IISI's geospatial that ran on its twin fin, though very imperfectly, according to court records, and which the CIA accepted. The problem Netezza discovered, according to the court, is that the hacked software calculations

45:36 were really off base. The motion for a preliminary injunction filed in early September 2010 with the court asked the judge to order Netezza to cease marketing, distributing or using geospatial or any related toolkit or any hacked or re-engineered version of the products and to return all copies of hacked IISI software now operating on TwinFin.

46:10 It's not clear what the CIA will do should the judge grant the IISI motion and require the return of the hacked software. An official spokesperson for the CIA previously told the author it doesn't comment on pending court cases. Although the fate of CIA's Twin Fin software may still be in the air, the potential of a software malfunction to cause serious havoc with unmanned...

46:40 Aerial vehicles like the Predator drone is no longer a matter of pure theory. On August 2010, a Navy drone entered the airspace of the nation's capital after being out of control for half an hour due to what the Navy called a software issue, according to the New York Times. An example of the Navy drone seems to be a warning worth heeding. If the CIA is using flawed software,

47:07 re-engineered by Netezza to target drones in Afghanistan, according to the pleadings, then it is only a matter of time before innocent lives are compromised due to software issues. IISI's motion for a preliminary injunction, if successful, may save many lives.

47:31 One of the largest best known corporations in the world, IBM, inserted itself into this dispute between two Massachusetts technology companies. IBM in the fall of 2010 announced its plan to acquire Netezza. Isn't that interesting? IBM to the rescue. IBM is from early on in the 60s all the way to today.

48:01 functions as an arm of the CIA. In the Phoenix program, in the Condor programs, the Snow White and the Seven Dwarf computer systems, IBM can always be counted on. So they offered, Netezza was a publicly traded company with 500 employees. They offered $1.7 billion.

48:32 To protect their interest in the pending deal, IISI and Natera on September 27, 2010, agreed to ensure IISI software is not shared with IBM. The parties agreed that between now and the closing of the acquisition of Natera by IBM, as announced publicly,

48:55 on Monday, September 20th, 2010, Netezza Corporation will not disclose to IBM any copies of IISI software, source code, binary code, object code, installation scripts, or specifications. The pact between Netezza and IISI created a temporary firewall between IBM and Netezza designed to assure that Netezza does not share information about

49:25 IISI's geospatial software with IBM. The agreement in legal jargon protects the intellectual property of IISI from being immediately absorbed by IBM. A very interesting email from an intelligence agency arrived in the author's inbox in mid-October 2010. The email query sought information from the author about the ongoing CIA drone scandal.

49:56 and the lawsuit in Boston. A DOD attorney who works for an agency called National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, or NGA, wrote the email. It was sent shortly after he had spoke with Susan Meisner, the lady that worked at NGA's public affairs office. Here's what the email said. Mr. Conroy, I'm an attorney at the DOD.

50:26 NGA. It was with great interest to NGA that I read your excellent article on Netezza versus IISI's lawsuit. I would like your assistance, please, if you have some time today. I located on your article a link to Judge Hinkle's decision, the judge in the IISI Netezza case.

50:49 dated August 20th, 2010. However, I would like to obtain other legal pleadings in the case, such as the plaintiff's complaint, the defendant's answer and counterclaims, the actual motion for summary judgment filed by IISI Inc., and Netez's response. I am using this information only for official government purpose in advising the agency as to whether there are any potential concerns if the judge were to grant the injunction. Now, that's...

51:19 Totally ridiculous. Because as a lawyer for a defense agency, you can carry your ass up to Boston and get the same shit that this reporter got. That's how he got it. Why would you call the reporter and ask for that information? The NGA, in addition to being part of the Pentagon's intelligence arm, also has a close relationship with the CIA. NGA's website reveals that the agency,

51:55 has a support team embedded in the CIA. They have a powerful force in assimilating all of the information together. That's crazy. The NGA's mission, according to their website, is imagery and map-based intelligence solutions for US defense, homeland security, and safety and navigation. That means the agency works for homeland security, which we've already covered, blah, blah, blah.

52:32 So he sent a follow-up email about that prior to receiving the email from the NGA attorney. And it basically, that's what we covered in the last chapter, was so he thinks his email to the public affairs lady prompted the email from the attorney.

53:05 and wanting him to provide all of his information. What can be inferred from the attorney's email is up to you to decide. The words of the co-founder and CEO of IISI, however, seems apropos. When you sell something that doesn't exist, the risk can be endless. In this case, it seems there may be at least some risk.

53:33 that the allegedly faulty software sold to the CIA for its drone program might have spread beyond the agency, maybe even to NGA, and maybe by extension, even to the drones operating on the U.S. border. An explosive lawsuit alleging that, okay, so he's just basically going over that. Then he talks about the purchase.

54:11 And he ends this that basically it appears that IBM, along with CIA, behind a firewall of secrecy will determine the fate of drone codes. And by extension, the lives may be hanging in the balance. So lots to digest on that one. But apparently.

54:40 IISI was not going to be asked to adapt their software. And again, just to be clear, they never said they wouldn't. They just wanted to be compensated for it. And so the government's answer to that is basically bring in IBM because it's so big that it can bury in the bowels of IBM.

55:08 the reverse engineering that is necessary to do it, get Netezza out of the picture with its lawsuit baggage and just continue on down the same road. So that's it. Just crazy, I'm telling you. I thought so too. Wonder how many people we killed because we were 13 meters off. Right. Warhamster, go ahead.

55:47 Thank you. I've been chomping at the bits ever since you talked about IBM's connection to the CIA. And the colonel tells us it goes back to the 60s, but it goes actually back even further than that. IBM's first real CEO, they really brought him from like 1914 or so until he died in 1956 with a guy by the name of Thomas Watson Sr. Oh, yeah, yeah. You guys are going to love this. He was the huge donor at...

56:17 Columbia University. Remind me, Colonel, where did the CIA come from? Well, ain't Columbia the one that has all the Fabians in it, too? Uh-huh. Well, okay, it gets better. Hang on one second. And when did the Fabians come over here at Columbia? Right around that same time? Yeah. Ever heard of a guy by the name of Dwight D. Eisenhower? Yes. Watson's the guy who got him into the position of president of Columbia.

56:47 Yes. It gets better. When Watson dies in 1956, his son, Watson Jr., Thomas Watson Jr., who had been a World War II pilot or something, well, he takes over. And that's the stuff the colonel was referring to in the 1960s with IBM. But go back to his dad first. He was actually personally met with Adolf Hitler in 1937. True.

57:14 They were basically running the concentration camps using IBM software. Yes. He got a bunch of medals, like some Order of the Golden Wolf or something like that from the Nazis. That was senior. Well, junior would go on, had a very successful career doing all that stuff. He would end up being Carter's ambassador to the Soviet Union. And then, of course, he, oh, shoot, what is the name of that darn organization in San Francisco, the Bohemian Club? Yes.

57:44 He's a member of that. So these guys are a deep state running for their blood. Yep. And, of course, it ties into Atomic Energy Commission at Oak Ridge, all that stuff. So IBM probably deserves a show someday. Yeah. Well, and that actually would be fitting of the whole Fabian connection when we get to the part where we're going to talk about it coming over here and setting up.

58:15 camp at Columbia, um, because it's, it's like neck deep in Fabian's at Columbia. Um, so yeah, we'll just add it to the list. All right. I had to get off it off my chest when you brought up IBM. Yeah. Um, yeah, I, I knew about the, um, German, uh, camps, but thank you for, um, reminding everybody about that. Um,

58:42 because it is a very nefarious history of...

58:49 And that's what they used it for in the Phoenix program, the prisons, the black site prisons. They used it in Operation Condor, not just for the prisons, but also to track the dissidents as they went from country to country. When they were fleeing persecution in one country, they would then be found through those computer systems called the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

59:17 The master computer had seven different locations like Chile, Brazil, Argentina. And basically, and what's interesting is since you brought up the Nazi prison camps, where did all of those Nazi prison camp guys go? Oh, Latin America.

59:39 So they are basically using the same software system that they used in the concentration camps in Nazi Germany in all of these other locations that had Nazis in them working with the CIA in these military dictatorships all over Latin America. It's weird how these stories all go together. Stellar, go ahead.

1:00:08 You know, you brought up IBM and stuff like that. I was just messaging Bridget. I don't know if it means anything, but over the weekend, Donald Trump did mention he talked about IBM, but I thought he was talking about investing. But I had no idea that IBM was so nefarious either. So I just found that to be interesting. I don't know. It's very nefarious. Bella, we're at the point right now where our default assumption should be anything's nefarious until proven otherwise. That's where I'm at.

1:00:38 That's for sure. Renee, go ahead. Hey, everyone. Yeah, to follow up with the whole South American and Nazi connection and computers, I came across, may have mentioned it before, but was digging recently. It's kind of hard, but there was a guy named, a Nazi named Otto von...

1:01:07 uh anyway i put it in the purple pill i can't you know very german last name but uh speaking of um computers and technology and whatever this guy um worked he was brought over i'm not sure if he was in argentina first or the united states but he kind of came over

1:01:29 Via a Getty line, the Gettys here in California, Gavin Newsom's father, William Newsom, worked for Getty and did a lot of his business in Rome, Italy. Well, apparently Getty hooked Newsom, William Newsom up with this auto guy, and they started a company called TCI in Silicon Valley or somewhere up there.

1:01:54 And supposedly this technology was for Getty and his oil and whatever. But pretty much guessing we anything technologically advanced or new technical systems. You know, I'm sure the military industrial complex and the intelligence agencies had their fingers everywhere because if it could.

1:02:21 be used to their advantage and their grift and their hustle, why not, right? Okay. But it's really interesting. I also found this guy was part of the Galen organization. Yes, Otto Bolswing. Yes. Yes, I've come across him. He was in the SS intelligence agency with Galen during World War II. And it says that he worked for the CIA in Europe and then later in California.

1:02:51 It says he was born in East Prussia, which is modern-day Poland, and that he is a descendant from an aristocratic family. He was educated at the University of London. He joined the Nazi Party in 1932, became a member of the SS, was assigned to the Foreign Intelligence Section.

1:03:20 He worked as an undercover agent in Palestine, exchanging promises of encouraging young Jews to immigrate for intelligence and working with the British, with the Haganach, which is a terrorist organization. He was also associated with Adolf Eichmann. He became his adjutant, which is like an aid.

1:03:50 And it says he later became a representative of the SD at German embassy in Romania, where they massacred tons of Jewish people. Romania, by the way, is where Frank Wisner was at the end of the war as the OSS. Post-war, he was recruited by the...

1:04:20 American Counterintelligence Corps. He actually wasn't recruited by the CIC. The CIC ran the prison camps and the OSS told the CIC who to put in what prison camp based on what they were going to do with them post-war. The people like Galen and Otto Skorzeny, they were all put in a very prestigious prison camp to make sure they didn't starve to death.

1:04:48 because they had plans to use them. So he wasn't recruited. That's the wrong word. He was protected by the Army CIC and used by the OSS and then the CIA. It says in the spring of 45, he was working for the soon to be CIA. During that transition,

1:05:17 And according to the CIA, he was one of their highest ranking agents in Europe. By 49, he joined the Galen organization in where? And mobilized former contacts in Italy. He was also involved in the Greek Civil War, which by the way, I'm gonna talk about tonight on a show with...

1:05:44 that were going through that whole series because that happened in the immediate aftermath. It actually started before the war was even over with the British, but then we took it over post-World War II. So this guy's intimately involved in the Greek quote-unquote civil war, which was basically the CIA and MI6 killing all of the dissidents in Greece.

1:06:11 It goes on to say in 54, he became Galen's representative in the US. The CIA having falsely declared that he had not been a Nazi. He became a US citizen in 59 based on those lies. In 69, he was working in California at a computer leasing company, Trans International Computer Investment Corporation in Sacramento.

1:06:39 He had multiple contracts with the Defense Department. Gotta love that. He rose to vice president. He became embroiled in a financial scandal and the company goes bankrupt. His wife committed suicide in 78. The U.S. did not begin investigating his activities in Nazi Germany until 1979 when his war record was revealed to the public.

1:07:07 The Justice Department filed charges against him in 81 for concealing his Nazi past and sought to deport him. Isn't that hilarious? The CIA is the one that got him into the United States and then now he's not useful to them anymore. So the DOJ, because somebody spilled the beans of him being a Nazi, are gonna pretend like they didn't know anything about it, which is ridiculous. So he surrenders his US citizenship in early 82.

1:07:37 He was allowed to remain in the country because of his, oh, I remember this guy, his deteriorating health. Supposedly he had an incurable brain disease. He died two months later in California. So there you have it. That's crazy. Okay, anybody else? Hello, Miss Moneypenny.

1:08:27 How are you? Hello. I'm not bad, thank you. I'm glad you're still doing your thing. I put against all that repression. God, we know about that. You were talking about an area that I've been investigating recently. You've heard about these disappearing scientists, a lot of them connected to NASA. And there's a big connection with what I keep calling Nashville, but I mean Huntsville.

1:08:56 I keep getting those two confused. And I really just wanted to, I wish I was American. I'd know more about this. I'd go and take a look at it. This is where, effectively, it's called Rocket City. It's where most of the former Nazi, former German scientists and their families and their offspring, apparently there's still quite a Nazi-type, German-dominated area around there.

1:09:20 And it is connected to these disappearing scientists in that one of them, specifically on record, said that people should not be investigating Area 51. They should be investigating Huntsville. That's where all the secrets are. And I just wonder what you thought of that. Well, I know one of the younger people that...

1:09:46 did that video look like a hostage video that said that they were coming after her was directly tied to Huntsville. And yes, Huntsville has, Huntsville, Houston, where NASA was, and California had a lot of, especially Southern California, although this guy that we were just talking about was in Northern California.

1:10:12 had a lot of the Nazi scientists. The ones that went that were the rocket scientist guys primarily went down to where JPL was in Southern California. There's a lot of space and rocket type development there's been there for, you know.

1:10:32 as long as that technology has been around. But Huntsville's definitely at the top of that list. I'm not familiar with a German enclave there, but we do go there fairly often to Alabama. So maybe I'll have to make that a part of our next trip.

1:10:55 Yeah, there's just an interview that's recently come out with a guy called Tom DeLonge, who actually was from a band, but he was a good associate of Tom Podesta, involved in the whole Clinton thing, possibly distantly connected to the whole Pizzagate thing. And he was flown to an airport in very sort of confidential circumstances. And he was sat down with the most senior general that's disappeared. And the first words that he was told were, the Cold War never stopped.

1:11:25 And that is what I am investigating from, because I believe that may have some merit in its investigation about the whole duplicity and operation. Paperclips obviously kicked it off, but from the Atomic Energy Act, that a lot of the recruitment of the German scientists with their great technology and their advanced stuff may have been part of what was covered up by a fake UFO story for many, many years. And that's why I'm trying to tie it in.

1:11:52 That's very plausible. Travis, go ahead. Travis? On the scientist this morning, the administrator for the classified project that all the missing scientists were working on at Los Alamos Lab, this morning her body was found by a hiker. With her handgun found next to her, no cause of death determined.

1:12:27 and her handgun had not been fired. Yeah, and that was an area where her body was found that had already been searched and wasn't there, and we're supposed to believe that they missed the body and the handgun, and it just mysteriously appeared. Also, a little more about IBM. Besides doing the Jewish census during World War II and deciding which Jews were useful and which weren't,

1:12:58 They also got the contract for doing the Israeli health cards during COVID to decide who was clean and who was unclean or vaccinated and unvaccinated. And they also got the exclusive contract in the United States. But then they decided they didn't want the whole vaccine ID card thing didn't really get off the ground here.

1:13:29 Get off the ground here like it did in Israel. Yeah. Also, the people of Donbass, four independent reporters from Donbass, one from the United States or three from the United States, two of which have now disappeared, have all reported that they were purchasers.

1:13:55 in the illegal organs being harvested at the biolabs there. And they're owned by Wallenbergs, who also owns Coca-Cola, who also purchases body parts, illegally harvested body parts. Okay. Warhamster, go ahead. Yeah, going back to Moneypenny's, I guess, speculation about Huntsville.

1:14:25 Everyone knows about the Operation Paperclip part. They talk about how the German scientists are the reason we got to space. They know all about the rockets. What people forget is the other major part of that Redstone arsenal is their chemical munitions, which ties us straight back to R.G. Farman, which brings, once again, Prescott Bush and all that little Harriman bunch who funded the CIA from day one. It all comes full circle.

1:14:53 But the chemical weapons, it's so bad that the EPA has had to change their rules just to deal with all the groundwater poison that they've done around the area. I'm not sure I'd want to go visit there myself, but don't drink the water, Colonel. I don't drink anybody's water. When we travel, we stock up on our own well water here, and then we have a particular water that I...

1:15:21 order that I have delivered, I don't drink any local water wherever we're at because of all kinds of reasons, and especially on military bases. Most water on military bases is contaminated. Unfortunately, that's been proven true. So, yeah, I don't.

1:15:45 I don't drink water when we're out and about. I don't drink water in restaurants either. People look at you like, you don't want anything to drink? No, because everything you have here, you've made with water. I don't want it. If I don't bring my own, I don't drink anything. I haven't worked in restaurants and how most glasses are washed. I wouldn't drink anything out of a restaurant for the most part, unless I see the bartender wash it himself. That's why I always sit at a bar. Yeah, my husband was a dishwasher when he was like 15 years old.

1:16:15 They run it through a machine and let it drip dry, but there's no deep cleaning whatsoever. And basically, it gets rinsed with the same water over and over throughout the night, these big industrial machines. I mean, like I said, I worked at a restaurant. I wouldn't drink unless I hand-washed it myself. Well, they come back with lipstick on them. I mean, that tells you how well they wash them. Yeah, you go to your average bar, they got the two-well sink. Yeah. And the rinse water.

1:16:41 It's like four hours old by the time they do wash their glass. Why are you so mad? Go ahead. Yeah, I'm actually not too far from the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville and absolutely do not drink the water there anywhere in Alabama. And there's been a lot of activity in that area, particularly in the last like six months. It's been pretty interesting. Cool.

1:17:12 Well, I'll let you know if I'm coming that way. That's all I've got for today. That's the end of this book. We will be starting a new book tomorrow. And it's going to be one of the 10 that's sitting on my desk here. I'm not sure which one.

1:17:39 Two of them I really want to do. The one that's Henrik Kruger, The Great Heroin Coup, because it intermixes the international fascism, the whole Nazi story with intelligence and drugs. It's a great book. But I also just finished, I had...

1:18:05 Read like two thirds of it and never finished it. Alfred McCoy's book, The Politics of Heroin. It's an excellent book. It's a big book. But it is one that Illini references all the time because of how much information that's in it. It's critical as well. But like I said, I haven't decided yet. So I'll see whatever floats my boat tomorrow morning.

1:18:34 That's where we will start tomorrow at four o'clock. So anyway, Renee, go ahead. Yeah, regarding on the note of heroin, I will forward you a bunch of what I found over the weekend. On last Friday's show, I mentioned I was going to dive into the Southern Cone of South America and the trafficking of drugs network.

1:19:03 And the Corsicans kept popping up a lot. And I found that French connection, those pesky French, ooh la la. But yeah, I found two major guys, one in Mexico, interestingly enough, right? And then another one in Paraguay. But it's really interesting because...

1:19:29 We hear a lot of the mafia and we think Italian and we think the Calabrians, Costa, Nostra, or however you say it, whatever. But before all that, the French were over there and a lot of, or down there, and a lot of them kind of escaped who were running some black ops when the Nazis occupied France.

1:19:53 And when that ended and the French were escaping to South America, some of the Corsicans and the Marseilles guys and the hustlers escaped prosecution as well and went down there and kind of set up shop. So it's really interesting. So I'm going to DM you some interesting links of the Frenchies. Yeah, the whole Vichy.

1:20:22 were very pro-fascist. And I'm aware that many of them, especially under Charles de Gaulle, were persona non grata. And yeah, decided to pick up and move. And of course, the establishment of that whole fascist element in South America,

1:20:53 immediately after World War II, played host to a whole bunch of nefarious people. So yeah, I'd be very interested in reading what you found. Okay, that's it. See you guys tomorrow at four o'clock. Take care, everybody.
