Transcript

0:05 Okay, let's get this started. You guys will notice, those of you who are over on Rumble, I have a wonderful backdrop. I am sitting on a canal on Anna Maria Island with a monster big boat behind me. And we're going to have a wonderful weekend down here with some friends.

0:32 So I'm looking forward to that. I'm also looking forward to start this book. This is a great book called The Medusa Files. I'm going to introduce the author in his own words in the introduction to the book so you guys can get an idea of who we're talking to in this book. And just so that you guys know, Bridget, SR doesn't normally join us on Friday, but Bridget is off for the day.

1:02 She is going to meet a friend. So it's just us. So, okay. He declares that he's a warrior, that he spent his whole life fighting on behalf of America. He first joined the Marines in 1964 and served in Vietnam. He was with First Corps in South Vietnam.

1:34 as an infantryman and Marine sniper. He was injured and medevaced to U.S. Naval Hospital in San Diego and spent quite a bit of time in the hospital there. In 1969, he joined the Tulsa Police Department. He spent 26 years as a policeman. He worked in patrol.

2:02 Fugitive Warrant Squad, Bomb Squad, Tactical Squad, i.e. SWAT, did plainclothes assignments for the last 14 years. He was a police helicopter pilot, a maintenance officer for the Air Support Unit, and he retired out of that job in 1996. He also spent all of that time in some component of the Reserve. He was in the Army National Guard.

2:33 where he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 75. He spent 27 years in that capacity, both in the Guard and Reserve. And he was in a rifle platoon. He was a company commander, an inventory company commander, NCO, school commandant, battle staff officer. He was attached to an F-16.

3:03 as a ground liaison officer. He also served in an intelligence function. He retired from, well, when he wrote this book, and let's get to that, he was a lieutenant colonel in that capacity. And this book was written in 1997. So I'm sure he's long since retired. So that kind of sets his bona fide.

3:34 with all of that experience, was at a conference for law enforcement in 1987. It was in Dallas, Texas. And he decided just on a whim to go take a tour of Daly Plaza, where JFK was assassinated. And he started looking around again with his police brain. And he starts looking.

4:03 kind of suspiciously at all of the different, because he was there with a tour and they're kind of pointing out all of this stuff. And the guy's like, yeah, that didn't happen that way. Hey, that didn't happen that way either. And they went up into the book depository and they were explaining the type of weapon and blah, blah, blah. And he's looking out the window going, no way in hell that happened. And so he was like, what the hell?

4:32 This isn't anything like I thought it was. And it made him very curious because, of course, he had been a Marine sniper. He understands how these whole operations work and how you plan them and triangulation and all of that other stuff. And his comment about that was not only was it a difficult shot, but the weapon could not have gotten off the number of bullets that supposedly.

5:02 it shot that day. So he left Daily Plaza very confused and was wondering, why would you cover all of that up? Why would the government that basically I've been employed by for the last several decades lie about all of that? So he wrote a book about that called Legacy of Dishonor. And

5:32 That journey and doing all of that investigation led him to be much more inquisitive about a whole lot of other things. And he had originally been commissioned to write that book. He had a contract and two weeks, well, let's see, he doesn't name.

6:06 the original publisher that had contracted with him, but they dropped him when they got the final manuscript of Legacy of Dishonor about the JFK assassination. He was confused. Why would they not want to publish that? So he kept sending the transcript over and over again. By the 10th time he had been rejected, he was like, okay, I get it.

6:38 Nobody actually wants to publish the truth. So he was given a reference of someone he thought would actually rent that book. And of course they did. So what he found shortly after that is he thought that it was a great book and that it would at least sell.

7:07 several thousand, if not tens of thousands of copies. And when he went to a local bookstore to see if you could order the book, it wasn't in the computer system. It wasn't even available for bookstores to order. And so he fixed it and then it happened again and it happened again. So they were purposely ensuring that people didn't get access to that book.

7:38 So he is now convinced that there's much more to many more stories than what the American people had been told. So the book starts off in chapter one with the devil's unit, which is unit 731, the infamous Japanese biological and chemical.

8:13 warfare compound in china so he starts off by saying in november 4th 1941 a japanese aircraft had circled over that area of china and the pilot lined up and landed on one of the local streets and miraculously this area that they had landed in had not suffered a lot of bond

8:47 bomb damage because the Japanese had did a lot of bombing in Manchuria, which is where this is at. And it said that the aircraft before it landed had circled over a city and released like a fog-like substance over an entire area.

9:23 rice patties, everything. And the pilot that had done that returned to base and they come back like two weeks later. And there's symptoms of illness everywhere. And by the end of the third week, people were dying. And the experimenters, the scientists, whatever.

9:55 had done autopsies on the death. They had died from bubonic plague, which doesn't happen randomly. Rarely, rarely did you ever see that at the time. But people continued to die from it in this particular area. That plane was flown by a top secret effort.

10:28 of the Japanese that was conducting experiments in Manchuria. They were using human beings as guinea pigs in that area. So he goes on to say that many of the people that were in that area had originally been supported by American forces. But for some strange reason, General Mackinac,

11:03 MacArthur had evacuated that entire area. And I'm not making any inferences. It just is odd. And so no opposition forces there at the time, because again, the Russians, which are just over the border or the Soviet Union is engaged on their Western flank from the Eastern push of the Nazis.

11:37 So there's almost no Russian forces in that area at the time. And he goes through and talks about a few things that were happening in the Philippines at the time. Where MacArthur takes off, he eventually ends up in Australia. And he tells the troops that are left in the Philippines, just hang on, we'll send people back for you. Well, they never did.

12:09 And that's where the battling bastards of Bataan come from. They continued to fight. And the Japanese kept making headway into the Philippines. So there was a surrender. And as a result, about 70,000, 7-0-0-0-0.

12:40 U.S. troops and Filipino troops were captured. And that's where you have the infamous Bataan Death March of all of these people. They were subjected. And I've read the Ghost Soldiers, the book. It takes a really strong stomach to read that book because it goes through a lot of detail on what was done to these people. And it's horrific.

13:13 Definitely understand that if you want to read that book. It is a horrific book of what they did to these Baten death march people. But it pales in comparison to what some of the survivors of that had happened to them because they were deported to Unit 731.

13:37 One of the survivors said it was the beginning of one of the most dehumanizing experience ever perpetrated on humans. First was the famous Bataan Death March, where we as human beings were subjected to beatings, killings, forced marches during the heat of the day, deprived of food, water, and medical attention. Upon arriving at Camp O'Donnell, we were still deprived of adequate food and sanitary conditions and medicine.

14:06 As a result of these conditions, several thousand died from dehydration, dysentery, malaria, and other tropical diseases. Around the 1st of July, we were put on a train in boxcars. 100 Americans were crammed into each boxcar. The doors were shut. Many died of suffocation during the train trip.

14:35 The conditions where they stopped, which was called Camp Number One, Kabanatun, weren't any better. This individual only stayed there a short time. He said that he had been on the burial detail for 33 consecutive days of people dropping dead. Around October 1st, a group

15:04 of American soldiers, him included, approximately 2,000 was taken to Manila and put on Japanese ships. And I've also read books about the conditions of these ships. They were headed to Manchuria. During that trip, they were kept in the hull of the ship, except for a period in the morning.

15:34 where they got about 20 minutes of fresh air. They had no toilets. The only thing they had was five gallon water cans. The cans ran over. There was all over the bottom of the ship that they had to walk through. The food was not enough to sustain anyone. They had no adequate clothing and they were going to a very, very cold area in Manchuria.

16:10 And it was wintertime. Again, many people died during this trip. They landed at Pusan, Korea. Approximately 150 Americans who were in the worst physical condition were sent to a building that had been set up as a temporary hospital. This guy that is telling the story was one of them. But it was too late for at least a third of the 150.

16:41 They died there in Korea. The rest of the Americans were taken off that ship and sent to a camp in Manchuria. Even the ones that survived the hospital stay would eventually join them at that camp. This gentleman was referred to as Pappy Welcher.

17:09 He spent the next three years of his life as one of 1,485 American and British prisoners of war that were sent to this special prison camp in Manchuria, ran by the infamous Japanese doctor Ishii. He took his work very seriously. He was related to a whole bunch of people. He was very prestigious. The emperor's cousin, Prince...

17:41 Taquita, who we learned about in the Gold Warriors of all books. That's the guy that was making business to the Philippines to hide all of the gold they were selling from all over Southeast Asia. Prince Taquita was basically the administrator of Unit 731. And had not the emperor's brother, Prince Makasha,

18:14 traveled all the way from Japan to visit the camp. That's how important this camp was. Lots of high prestige visitors to the camp related to the imperial family that we were fine with. But it was very secretive work. Even Prince Takeda played his part taking an alias as he traveled to the camp to protect.

18:45 the importance of the project and his identity and attachment to it. Unfortunately for Takeda and his cousin, several people survived and later identified them. The camp was actually started in 1933 by Lieutenant Colonel Ishi. He eventually makes general because he does such a great job. He had originally been a preventative.

19:16 disease specialist in an epidemic prevention laboratory in Tokyo. He was ordered to Manchuria to establish a quote-unquote medical facility with the army. They were there to create weapons of war. Manchuria was the ideal proving ground for this. It was inhibited by several races and they loved working on products that could be engineered.

19:50 to specific genetics. Does that sound familiar? There were Japanese Mongols, Russians, Koreans, and then the Americans and the Brits and several other nationalities of POWs that were shipped in, as well as a lot of the indigenous locals, because that was a very tribal area. Ishii set up his first laboratory, codenamed Togo.

20:22 facility had originally been a soy sauce factory. In late 35, the unit then, numbering almost a thousand, had outgrown that small area. So they moved to a new two-story headquarters that was built in close proximity to a military hospital, which was right next to the train station, so they could offload their future victims. According to one of Ishi's doctors,

20:55 Detachment 31 was formed by command of the Emperor of Japan, Hirohito, by a decree that was issued in 1936. Until 1941, the detachment had no designator. It was simply called Water Supply and Prophylactics Administration of the Japanese Army. Then it was referred to as Ishii's Detachment.

21:26 The detachment number 731 was given in an order that was published on 1941 by the army as an official military entity. The doctors that staffed that unit came from civilian universities and hospitals in Japan. At a meeting in 1934, a list of promising names was gathered up by several officials in Japan.

21:56 That document was a scroll that listed research teams that should be formed to look into microbiology and pathology. After three years of 731's operation, Ishii was promoted to colonel. By that time, the facility had grown to over 3,000 people, Japanese people.

22:29 They wanted to move to a secured location because they were basically operating in a very remote village, but kind of out in the open. And so they decided that they needed to be more secure. There was a no-fly zone designated over this entire area. No aircraft was allowed to fly over it. They decided that the security

22:55 that they needed to implement was going to include a triple barrier. They had a high wall to hide the facility. Then they built a moat or dug a moat. They didn't. Of course, their prisoners did. And electrified a fence surrounding the inner perimeter so nobody could get out without killing themselves on an electric fence.

23:22 It took about two years to construct this new facility, which consisted of 150 buildings, a railway yard, a powerhouse, cooling towers, a crematorium, because you gotta have something to do with these diseased bodies. So we're gonna burn them. They had administration buildings and they even had like this humongous veterinarian because they were doing experiments on animals as well.

23:54 They had an entire area that breeded insects so they could infect the insects to release them in cities with diseases to attack the local civilians. So one of the new recruits described his first impression. Quote, the central buildings towering skyward over other buildings with all square tiled facades were larger than any that I had ever seen.

24:27 including Osaka and Hashikin. The high earth wall were constructed with bulb wire fencing atop the dirt mounds. It was obvious the compound was isolated strictly from the outside world, unquote. And then he talks about them being divided into eight different divisions and he goes over and lists basically what they're doing.

24:57 It talks about offensive weapons of mass destruction. The main diseases they used was anthrax, cholera, dysentery, plague, and typhoid. So they're conducting all of this research and they were using rats and fleas initially and trying to figure out how they could put them in airborne dispersal.

25:28 things to be able to use them out of aircraft. Of the diseases pneumonic plague became the most studied. The bubonic form which results from a bite of an infected flea was determined to be the most fast acting. The onset was abrupt with extreme weakness and high fever and then you died.

25:59 You basically choke yourself because your tongue swells up, blah, blah, blah. Ishii loved that one. He thought it would be ideal to use that as dispersal. And he thought the best way to use it was to infect the fleas and rats and then set them loose on people. He found out that the rats were not very good though, because they didn't tend to bite people, but they were very good at breeding the fleas.

26:34 They tested all kinds of dispersal mechanisms, artillery shells, aerial bombs. And he goes into detail. We don't need to go into the detail about the different mechanisms and whether they worked or not. The objective of the experiment was to ascertain whether or not the infected people would die and not just die. They wanted to know how fast they died.

27:06 And they experimented on humans to figure that out. So one of the lieutenant colonels, Nishi, was questioned later and had this to say about one of the experiments. The object of the experiment was to ascertain whether it was possible to infect people with a gas gangrene at a temperature of 20 degrees centigrade below zero. This experiment was performed in the following ways.

27:40 10 Chinese prisoners of war were tied to a stake at a distance of 10 to 20 meters from a shrapnel bomb that was charged with gas gangrene. So it's got shrapnel in it. The shrapnel has been basically dipped, contained in gangrene to prevent the men from dying outright because that would never do. They actually had their heads.

28:10 Their back and their torso shielded. So the only place the bomb, actually the shrapnel from the bomb entered their body was in their legs because they were left unprotected. The bomb was exploded by means of an electric switch. The shrapnel containing the gangrene scattered all over. All of the experiments were.

28:43 or experimentees, were wounded in the legs. Seven days later, they died in great torment. Between 500 and 600 prisoners were consigned to Unit 731 every year. Gotta keep a fresh supply of meat to experiment on. According to Major General Kawashima,

29:12 If a prisoner survived the inoculation of a bacteria initially, this fact didn't save him from repeated experiments. They just nursed them back to health, which is why the hospital was next door, and then infected them again, over and over again until they died. One of the most diabolical vectoring of the viruses was called a balloon bomb.

29:42 Now, keep in mind that we had the balloon from China go across the entire United States. They experimented with a balloon bomb. It was manufactured at this unit 731. These large rice paper and rubberized silk balloons designed to carry cholera and typhus were capable of being launched in Japan and flying across the Pacific.

30:16 using the jet stream. Several incendiary balloons of similar design were launched and managed to fly into the forests of the Pacific Northwest. We've all read about that. They started forest fires. Though few ignited after completing the journey, six people were reportedly killed after tampering with the downed balloons in an attempt to recover the mechanism.

30:46 It is not known if biological bombs were indeed launched against the U.S. The wreckage of one balloon of the proper construction for such a device was reportedly found among the incinerary ones. The attitude of the U.S. military at the time was to cover up all of this. They didn't want anybody in the United States to know that Japan had successfully attacked the mainland of the United States.

31:19 was that if the Japanese found that their launches were successful, they would continue. The downside of this, of course, is that Americans were killed. There was no long-term medical tracking of any of these areas to determine if any of them was infected with any of these trial plagues because it was classified. So that's crazy. Back to the lab.

31:59 He talks about, we're not going to go into this, about how they bred the fleas and the rats and all that other stuff. They had an entire zoo set up there to do that. The winter of Manchuria and Korea were harsh. So they decided that they wanted to test whether or not people could survive and how long as far as outdoor exposure.

32:33 So they did tests on that as well. When there was not enough prisoners to send, they would entice people, the locals, to their headquarters in the nearby towns that they had sentries posted in. They would advertise jobs for these people, the locals, the tribal people. And when they came to inquire about the jobs, they would kidnap them. This included...

33:09 Men, women, children, and pregnant women. Yeah, that's crazy. John, John, John, can you go in there? So, and of course those people were treated the same way. They were experimented on. And he goes into a little bit more detail about the whole freezing thing. They dipped him in water.

33:46 nearby lakes and then left them out in the snow until they got frostbite. And then they would try to unthaw the frostbite to see if you could reinvigorate the limbs. It's crazy. In the 12 years of the unit's existence, dozens of diseases were studied. They included botulism, cholera, dysentery, gangrene, glanders, influenza.

34:22 meningococcus, salmonella, smallpox, tetanus, tick encephalitis, tuberculosis. You know all the things that we have problems with now? They're all there. Typhus, typhoid, and hemorrhagic fever. Yeah, all created and tested in this lab. Well, this compound was much bigger than a lab. This was very expensive.

34:59 And three died each day. And they were burned in the incinerator. No one could resist the experiments. There was no way to escape. Diseases were forcibly injected and administered and then closely noted how they progressed. Sometimes they were sprayed directly on the victim's face or they were concealed in their food and drink. In little more than a decade, Ishii had managed to make drastic inroads.

35:32 in this area of research for an arsenal of weapons for Japan. Ishii chose one of his camps for the inbound Americans and UK POWs because they had tested on all of those other nationalities. Now they wanted Anglo people to test on. Well, well, Joel.

36:05 said upon their arrival, we were taken to barracks that were isolated from all the other prisoners. After a time, a group of five or six Japanese medical professionals would enter the barracks and call out various prison numbers because they were all assigned a number. They didn't give them the dignity of using their name. And of course,

36:29 When people were called out, a lot of them didn't return. So there was a lot of anxiety about this entire process. As a group, we did not receive the same shots or experiments. They were oftentimes checked for temperature, welts, all kinds of different things. They kept accurate records of all of them, detailed records. Several experiments were conducted on all of them.

37:06 They didn't experiment on all of the Anglos, though. They wanted a control group. They just was destined for slave labor, but they were the control group. They weren't going to be experimented on. The control group were needed to monitor invasion of outside germs so they could discount, like they didn't know how they were going to acclimate to the area. So if a certain symptom

37:35 was in the control group, then you couldn't attribute that symptom to the people that you were experimenting on. That's how detailed they were. One experiment conducted on Americans, Japanese medical technicians came into the barracks when there were men too sick to leave and induce other germs into their system. Greg Rodriguez, one of the Americans captured at Bataan,

38:01 relayed this. A Japanese came in and looked me over and then placed a mirror in front of my nostrils. At the time, I thought he's checking to see if I'm breathing. But after a little bit, he came back with a feather. He had ran the feather up into his nostrils. It was covered with bacteria. Many of the Americans were removed from the camp's population and transferred out and they disappeared forever.

38:28 Dr. Brennan, an Australian, reported that one day the camp guards came into the camp, singled out 150 Americans, lined them up, marched them out of the camp, and they never came back. And they were never heard of again. Of those that stayed and died, dissections were performed on a routine basis to discover the progress on the inside of diseases. One prisoner named Frank James was assigned autopsy detail. He was sick himself.

39:01 But he didn't want to go to the hospital because they had kind of a running joke that if you went to the hospital, you were never seen again. He described in detail that in 1943, I went round to the hut that there was about 340 bodies stacked there. Each body had a tag on his toe. Another fellow and I were told to lift the bodies up and put them on the autopsy table. Then the Japanese...

39:31 Technicians came in and cut them open. James went on to describe carrying body after body into the building where the men in white coats performed grisly tasks. The doctor took certain organs and placed them in jars. They labeled them and then would ship them out. The most horrible autopsies were performed on prisoners that were still alive. They did live autopsies.

40:01 In these, a prisoner was placed on the table, sometimes administered anesthesia and other times not. They were cut open to observe the progress of various diseases. By 1944, the Unit 731 was ready to begin offensive operations. They were eager to join their brothers in the battle. They laid plans to provide biological weapons to attack Americans in Saipan.

40:33 and other locations. They had a lot of problems with that because, not that they didn't try, there were 17 officers that led an assault team that would sprinkle Taipei airstrip with plagued infected fleas. The team and the containers of insects were put aboard a ship, but before they could reach the battle zone, the ship was discovered by American forces and sunk. Shortly after,

41:05 Saipan fell. So that was out. However, it didn't stop them from trying. They found local areas to do experiments. Now, because of the success, they're starting to feel a little threatened and are looking around at all of the stuff that they have going on here. And what would happen if too many enemy forces get...

41:40 close to their location. So they go on to describe that there were so many people dying at this location that the incinerators could not keep up. So they started taking bodies and dumping them in rivers nearby. Diseased bodies dumped in rivers. As the Soviet Union came closer, and that was the real threat, not us.

42:18 The Soviet Union was getting very close. They took bombs and rigged many of the buildings to blow them up. And there were a lot, and they had brought their families up there. By the way, I didn't mention that. And they're trying to all get on the railroad with all of their literature and whatever left of the specimens they have and escape.

42:56 This was all happening around mid-August. And the next day after they put all those detonations out and was blowing shit up, the emperor announced the surrender. And Ishii had talked to all of the people before they got on the train and said that every man was swore to silence, that they had to live their life in the shadows.

43:24 And that they were never to see each other again. And they couldn't talk about any of this. We know that didn't happen. Because fortunately, there were survivors, at least from America. The Unit 731 and its activities were no secret to American government. As early as 1943, military intelligence service began picking up bits and pieces of information about this top secret warfare experimental center.

43:56 Did they ever try to bomb it? No. They confirmed that it was controlled by army elements of the Japanese forces. They also knew that it was carrying out experiments and that it was super secret. Upon further interrogation of many of the people that had either carried supplies up there or whatever,

44:29 They found out that it was responsible for collecting and evaluating biological experiments that were being conducted. Military intelligence noted in the reports to Washington that these areas of Manchuria were so remote that gaining information about it was extremely difficult. Information continued to trickle out.

44:56 In 1944, the U.S. Army Chemical Warfare Divisions discovered that the Japanese were dropping what they term Christmas balls, glass balls filled with what was suspected to be bacteria on the China-Burma border. This information was then passed to all of the intelligence agencies and disseminated.

45:24 As these investigations were being conducted, the U.S. Army Chemical Corps at Camp Dietrich, Maryland, became concerned with defensive measures about the biological attacks. With the Germans working on a V-1 buzz bomb and V-2 rockets at their research center, the Japanese developing biological warfare weapons, the possibility of marrying the two was there. By December of 1944, Camp Dietrich was notified that a huge balloon made of paper,

45:55 rice paper had come down in Butte, Montana. But before technicians could respond to investigate the device, which they believed could have carried plague, another report came in that a large rubberized silt balloon had landed in Washington State. Then almost overnight, reports of landings all over Alaska, San Diego came in. Colonel Murray Sanders, a Camp Dietrich virologist,

46:24 Caught a plane for Washington State, the central location chosen for examining balloons that were recovered. The balloons were brought in and we all stood around looking at them. All the scientific and military experts, all of us with our own thoughts. We examined them. They had obviously come from Japan. I told them that the prevailing winds would carry most of the Japanese balloons comfortably to the mainland.

46:52 of the United States. I told them that if we found Japanese encephalitis on any of the balloons, we were in real trouble. But they didn't find any traces of bacteria or any device that appeared to be germ warfare. Still, the number of balloons that managed to cross the Pacific was frightening. Balloon launches in Japan into the jet stream had traveled

47:19 all across the Pacific in 30 to 60 hours. Then depending on the weather of the particular day, found their destination inside the United States. Some landed on Vancouver Island, Hawaii, Alaska. One was even found in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Overall, 100 balloons were reported to have successfully

47:50 made mainland U.S. The threat was real. They kept a tight lid on the entire investigation. Strict censorship on the press and radios were instituted. Any balloon found in the civilian population was rounded up, and anyone in the local area was sworn to secrecy. Because of the censorship, few civilian warnings were given.

48:18 In Oregon, a party of fishermen came across one of the balloons and began to examine it. It exploded, killing all six because the U.S. government gave them no heads up. Another report that leaked to the press before the government censors could intervene, a woman in Helena, Montana, found a balloon and it exploded, killing her. Still, the government said nothing. The implications of what...

48:47 could happen should the Japanese succeed in sending across deadly viruses and bacteria became more important than public safety. Two meetings were held in March of 1945, one at 7th Service Command in Omaha and one at the Western Defense Command in San Francisco. These meetings, the officer in charge of home defense listened for four days to Colonel Sanders and other representatives of camp.

49:15 Dietrich, and Washington. The end result was that probable targets within the U.S. were identified and that there was little the military or civilian authorities could do should the enemy begin a balloon onslaught. They certainly weren't going to warn us. The representatives of the military branches agreed that not only could such weapons change the direction of the war, but an armada of balloons would not be required to do so.

49:45 If only one got through with biological weapons on it, it could kill thousands. According to recently declassified records, it was feared that a biological attack would, that spawned a super secret experiment jointly conducted by the Army and Navy. The task was to test the effectiveness of airborne viruses, you know, to get ahead of the game.

50:13 Within weeks of the meeting on a day selected because of weather conditions, a task force of U.S. Navy ships steamed off the coast of Southern California. The residents of the beach communities had no idea what was going on. A gray mist cloaked the ship as they turned into the on breeze and rang for all ahead when the ships were in position.

50:41 noted in their sailing orders, the sailors aboard one of the vessels cranked open a valve from a pressure tank. Within seconds, a stream of air contaminated with influenza virus rose into the atmosphere and drifted ashore. When the tanks were empty, they went back to San Diego. The next few weeks, an outbreak of flu was monitored from several surveillance stations set up along a 250-mile parameter.

51:12 and several miles inland. Other tests were ran in a similar manner. Unlike the influenza test conducted as a defensive measure against the balloon attack, others were concerned with chemical warfare, stimulants, and other chemical compounds. What would happen? How would you monitor it? It was codenamed Operation Olympia.

51:40 It was the planned invasion of Japanese home islands and was expected to cost over a million American lives. The assault was to occur on the island of Honsu with a combined naval air and land strike. The first, what actually happened though, is that we had the atomic bombs dropped.

52:14 The pieces of all of that then led to what we know to be, and we're going to talk about in the next chapter, how all of this turned out. What did we do with all of those scientists that are now running down from Manchuria back to Japan? And we'll go through that on Monday. That's it. So there's Miss Bridget. I don't know if she can talk.

52:50 I see she joined us. That's just crazy crap. I can't think of a good reason why you wouldn't tell American people that there's explosive bombs being dropped out of the air. Don't pick them up. Oh, by the way, you're at war. And I know the excuse, you don't want to scare everybody. We're all adults here. You had people all over the United States working in defense capacities to

53:34 make a difference in the war. And those are the very people you don't trust to give them information that the potential is there and be on the lookout for these things. That's when you know you live in a nanny state. You don't live in a democracy. You don't live in a republic because the government does not trust the citizens at all. Did you want to add anything, Bridget? It seems like they have.

54:11 spread far and wide and they have tendrils in almost every everything yeah giant spider web yeah um let's see um she is setting up the justification for the national incarceration of japanese americans to concentration camps no i'm not i'm not setting up anything that actually happened before any of this happened um fyi murray

54:47 Sanders is evil. He was part of the protection of Unit 731. He returned to Fort Detrick and later worked with Green Cross, the pharmaceutical company established by Unit 731 members. You are absolutely right. He did. And that pharmaceutical company that was a derivative of Green Cross is the one I posted about the other day that was involved in blood work. And they contaminated.

55:15 thousands of Americans with tainted blood and they died. They did the same thing in the UK and they did the same thing in Japan. What I would tell you is none of this that we talked about today, none of it ever went away. They just used all of this information and continued to experiment on us. And that's what COVID was all about. Another experiment.

55:45 And you are going to find that Fauci is directly related to all of this. Renee, go ahead. Well, divine timing on another book, Colonel, and the release from Tulsi Gabbard today about the bio labs. Bravo. Good timing. Divine timing here. I know it just keeps happening, don't it? 100%. Yep. I did. I just as a.

56:20 It's funny that I had another book that was supposed to be at the top of the pile that keeps getting replaced. But this isn't even the chapter of why I wanted this to jump ahead. And I had no idea, obviously, when I'd made that decision last week when I mentioned it, that that was going to get released. So it is definitely divinity in the middle of all of this.

56:51 Yeah. And by the way, this book, one of you guys suggested it to me. I don't even remember. I don't remember if it was in the comments on Rumble or somebody DM'd it to me. I don't know. But I made a note of it in my book and I bought it. And I started reading it just because the cover of it, as you guys can see.

57:19 The subtitle is Secret Crimes and Cover-Ups of the U.S. Government. So of course I was intrigued immediately. And I just finished reading my Fabian Highway book. And so I'm like, what the heck? I'm just gonna read this book. And I was like, holy crap, because we're gonna get to the anthrax thing too, which guys know I was a victim of and totally pisses me off. But most of the stuff in this book does.

57:49 And it should any American that cares about the Republic. So anyway, that's it for today. We're gonna go find a local restaurant and I'm probably gonna be pushing for the Italian one. They have a fabulous Italian restaurant down here, but we go to it every time. So I'm open to other suggestions. What's the name of the fish one? The ugly fish? The ugly grouper. That's another really good.

58:20 restaurant down here. It has all kinds of metal art out in the yard that is supposed to resemble a fish. But if you guys are interested, just look up the Ugly Grouper on Anna Maria Island. It's hilarious looking because they have all kinds of metal art out in the yard. But the fish is amazing. Okay, that's it.

58:48 I will be doing a couple of shows this weekend to continue our series on Propaganda Due. I just don't know when they're going to be because we're down here with friends who has this wonderful place. And so our schedule is kind of dictated by them. But anyway, thanks for being here, everybody. Take care and have a nice weekend. Happy Friday.
