0:01 I have no idea what was going on with my camera. It was trying to put it over on my phone. And I see this blob because I have my phone laying on a pillow. I'm like, what is that? That's not me. Okay. Crazy. It didn't show up like it was sending it to my phone for a few minutes. And I'm like, what is going on? All right.

0:32 We're going to start on chapter 27. And again, I skipped it yesterday to do a shorter chapter. So we'll try to get through it all today. All right. Y'all know that this is Pan Am 103, the Libyan PLO or CIA question mark part of the book. So we'll see what he has to say about this.

1:04 I like the fact that he's suspecting the CIA's involvement right off the bat. So go back in time. It's December 21st, 1988. And we're in Lockerbie, Scotland. There's a huge explosion. Those that went outside to see it just saw a big ball of fire. Within minutes.

1:33 Huge pieces of shredded aluminum impacted all around the village. It was pieces of an airplane. At first, the local constabulary or police and the British police logically assumed this event to be either the work of terrorists who had placed a bomb aboard the aircraft, which was a Boeing 747.

2:04 or a mechanical malfunction that ignited the fuel. With their extensive experience dealing with terrorists, they pretty much agreed right away that it was a terrorist act. The local emergency and police organizations organized quickly, set up a command center, and worked with the local Lockerbie police, local residents, and medical personnel.

2:38 became the search teams. Within the next hour, things began to become very strange for the British participants in the search and investigative teams. Several things began to happen in various sections of the search area that were described by locals as very unusual. George Stobbs, S-T-O-B-B-S, a Lockerbie police inspector, remarked later, on the night

3:08 I was started to get up a control room and by 11 o'clock in midnight, there was a member of the FBI in the office who came in, introduced herself to me and sat down and just sat there for the rest of the night. The unusual activity of this alleged FBI agent is striking, but not quite as odd as the fact that the Lockerbie is over 350 miles.

3:42 350 miles from London, which was the nearest American FBI station. So how did they get there? To reach Lockerbie that night from London, even if traveling by air would have taken far more than one hour, considering the sequence of events that would have had to occur. So even if a timely notification had been made, an American agent in London,

4:15 would have had to have been tracked down considering the late hour, notified to pack up for an investigation, rush to Heathrow, board an aircraft, fly immediately to the nearest airport, land, get ground transportation to Lockerbie, then locate the command center, which had not been advertised. That would have taken four to six hours at a minimum. Not a very likely scenario to have occurred.

4:46 In less than two hours, a Pan Am security officer interviewed later offered one piece of the puzzle regarding this rapid response. Quote, as far as I can recall, there were about 40 people excluding crew on board the Pan Am flight of personnel being sent to the Lockerbie crash site, of which I would estimate 40% were Pan Am people. The others.

5:17 I wasn't aware of their affiliations at all, unquote. The questions at this point, who were these people? How did they get to the airport so quickly? Where did they come from? Why were they in England in the first place? And what were their mission? After arrival at Lockerbie, the unidentified Americans began to behave in bizarre manners.

5:48 with normal investigative search, they made themselves busy elsewhere. Mr. Tam Dial, a member of the British Parliament related to the local police force, that they had concerns, absolutely swarms of Americans fiddling with the bodies and shall we say tampering with things. The police were very careful to be checking.

6:21 They weren't pretending, saying that they were from the FBI or CIA. They were just Americans who seemed to arrive extremely quickly on the scene, he said. Dr. David Vilhaus, the local police surgeon, reported a strange series of events in his sector. Quote, I was asked to go to various locations in and around Lockerbie to look for bodies. We went there down one long field and identified.

6:52 about 10 bodies. We thought we ought to retrace our steps and put some form of identification on them. And so the only thing I had with me was a block of white labels and 100 or so plastic gloves, which I carried all the time for my police work. I put a code on every one, DCF1 right through 58, all of the bodies at that particular sector.

7:22 I learned later that when these bodies were taken to the mortuary, all of the labels that had been put on them had been removed, with the exception of two. But all the rest had been removed and discarded. Someone appears to have been very intent on disrupting our investigation by obstructing and interfering with the search and recovery process. Who were they? Why were they there?

7:50 British journalist and Pan Am 103 researcher David Ben-Ashian answered part of the puzzle. Quote, very strange people were at work very early on. Within a matter of three hours after the crash, there were American accents heard in the town. Over that night, there were large members, by which I mean 20, 25, 30 people arrived.

8:19 The next day, there was a whole bevy of people walking down the main street with blue windbreakers on and baseball hats that said FBI on them. But there was a lot of other Americans there who were in town that weren't wearing the FBI windbreakers. I don't know who they were. I know who some of them were, and it certainly wasn't tourists, unquote.

8:46 At the crash site, as the sun came up, small pockets of Americans keeping to themselves wandered among the wreckage. There was bodies. They were poking them, looking at them, searching. They were searching for something. They had been there most of the night. As one searcher, a member of a mountain rescue team had arrived within two hours of the initial explosion related, quote,

9:13 We arrived within two hours. We found Americans already there. The British police and military who were there are still not speaking about any of this because the official Secrets Act, they were prohibited from talking about it, unquote. Tom Dale, a member of the parliament who was very suspicious about the odd activities around Lockerbie incident, refuses to be shackled by, quote, unquote, national security. He told.

9:44 working on a British documentary, The Maltese Double Cross, that it was thought to be very odd and strange. So many people should be involved in moving bodies around, looking at luggage, who were not members of any investigative force. What they were looking for, we don't know. You know, this was just not about searching carefully for loved ones. It was far more than that.

10:13 It was a careful examination of luggage and bodies, unquote. And there are more than that. Someone was very concerned that Scottish searchers might find something before their own people could. One searcher, Eric Spafors, told of a helicopter that circled his group for some time as they made their way through the wreckage. This helicopter was overflying the area.

10:45 In it was looking at me out of a telescopic range of a rifle. Probably some Secret Service person, he thought. Oh, and it was an unmarked helicopter. No lettering. These unmarked helicopters continued their observation over the crash scene for days. Enos Graham, a local resident, reported that these helicopters were landing just behind the house in a field.

11:21 It was constant every day for days. It became obvious to British investigators at the scene that this was not just an aircraft bombing or a terrorist investigation to many Americans who arrived so swiftly on the scene. It was something else, something on the airplane that they were looking for. But what was that? What was so important about this flight or the passengers? Three individuals that were on the scene or investigated later gave some clues.

11:54 David Ben Asheron noted, the arc of the wreckage ran right across the crest of the hills overlooking where the cockpit fell. There were a number of bodies which subsequently became of great interest to a lot of people. David Johnson, a radio journalist for Radio 4th, reported, quote, I've been told early on that the investigation believed the bomb had been taken onto the plane by a U.S. officer who had been seconded.

12:24 to military intelligence and that the bomb had been planted on him in Beirut, unquote. Finally, there were stories of a large suitcase filled with heroin being recovered by American searchers. A local farmer, Jim Wilson, told relatives of Pan Am 103 victims that he was there when the drugs were found. According to Private Eye Magazine, Wilson Tundergarth Farms near Lockerbie.

12:54 said this, quote, found a suitcase packed with drugs in one field. He was worried the substances might harm his sheep and immediately informed the police. He was surprised that the police seemed to know the case was there and were under the impression that it had already been removed, unquote. When the drugs were discovered, a team of Americans rushed to the location in all-terrain vehicles.

13:22 Wilson noted that the Americans seemed extremely angry over the fact that the drugs had not been discovered earlier by their own people. According to one constable who did not remain silent, the Scottish police had been told to keep an eye out for drugs early on. He also mentioned that they had overheard the Americans say that there was a drug courier on the plane. His name was Khalid Jafar.

13:51 In the months following the bombing of Pan Am 103 and the murder of 270 passengers, the U.S. government broke the case. With a great deal of luck and more than a few fortunate coincidences, a searcher found a tiny bit of a microchip in a wooded area that was turned in and recognized as something other than a plane part. This itself is extremely interesting considering the amount.

14:21 of parts aboard an aircraft that could have been ruptured or scattered solid pieces over the countryside. It is also interesting to note that the FBI does not have Boeing aircraft engineers or experts on staff call that are capable of sorting through debris and deciding what part is aircraft and what part isn't. Yet they managed to allegedly find and identify this part and determine it was suspicious.

14:50 This one fingernail size piece of plastic is credited with being the key to the entire solution. You know, almost like the infamous passports. According to the FBI, the laboratory determined that the microchip had been part of a timer built in Switzerland by a Swiss company named MEBQ. Oh, the timer was sold to Libya.

15:23 And two Libyan intelligence officers, Malmagadi and Fermaya, used it to construct a bomb inside of a tape recorder, smuggled it into Malta, then put it in a suitcase filled with various Maltese clothes, transported it to the aircraft, tagged it for its final destination of JFK International, then placed it aboard an Air Malta airplane unaccompanied.

15:53 then managed to fly to Frankfurt, change planes, also unaccompanied, then fly to London. Who's believing this shit? Then gets placed on another aircraft from London and explodes over Lockerbie. How the FBI decided that these two people were the two responsible parties has never been explained. However,

16:23 They were put on the wanted list, exposed as international terrorists and have not left the confines of Libya since. Even though they had volunteered to surrender to an international court as long as it convened in any other country but the UK and the US. Neither the US or the UK have ever agreed to a neutral location. Weird.

16:52 To support the U.S. government's version of the sabotage are the statements of such people as CIA agent Vincent Canestraro, who was an ops officer and director of intelligence on the National Security Council. Definitely don't want to trust that guy. The principal, he stated this, this CIA guy. The principal avenues.

17:19 of the investigation led to identification of a foreign role in an act of terrorism was forensic evidence recovered by the Scottish police at Lockerbie themselves. Investigators and townspeople on their hands and knees crawling over the countryside, picking up bits and pieces. One of those turned out to be a microchip, which was analyzed that led to the Libyan connection. The Libyan connection that's not connected actually to Libya, but whatever.

17:50 The problem with the statement is that there is not a concrete chain of evidence for the microchip. At the time of the investigation, no one had been identified as finding the piece. In fact, there were attempts to make people sign statements a year later saying that they had found the microchip. Okay, you found it, right? Sign the statement. No, no, you found it. You signed the statement. Yeah, who found it? No chain of custody.

18:23 One Scottish searcher, identified only as Bobby, stated that two years after the bombing, a Scottish police officer visited him and asked him to sign a statement. I got a call from a policeman asking me if he could come to my house and would I sign this statement. He brought with him small bags about the size of eight by five pieces of paper. One of them contained an item of clothing.

18:49 one of which contained a brown piece which looked very much like a piece of plastic. The third piece, I couldn't tell what it was. Could the brown piece have been the microchip? The U.S. government's position, also backed up by the findings of the FBI lab in Washington, according to Tom Thurman, FBI forensic expert, he made the identification of the microchip and tied it to the Swiss manufacturer. He remembered,

19:20 That June 15th of 1990 was the day I made the identification, you know, because that would just stick in your head. I knew at that point what it meant because I was an investigator as well as a forensic examiner. I knew where that would go. At that point, we had no conclusive proof of the type of timing mechanism that was used in the bombing. When the identification was made at the time, I knew we had it.

19:48 Thurman does not say, however, how he determined the microchip to not have come from one of the aircraft instrumentation systems, such as the autopilot, the radio, the clocks, the navigation devices, all of them having microchips. According to the FBI, the identification of the chip led to a timer manufacturer in Zurich who just so happens to use microchips.

20:17 Didn't a whole bunch of companies use them? Yeah, but we want a timer one. Edwin Bouvier, the owner of the company in Switzerland that was MEBO, stated that Scottish and American FBI officers came to Switzerland. They showed us a photocopy of a fragment of a timer. They asked us if the timer was from one of our series. They explained that in 1986, two of these timers were confiscated.

20:49 in Dakar and later on in Senegal from two Libyans. I immediately recognized from the photo that one of the fragments found at Lockerbie was without a doubt from a timer that we ourselves had made. It is interesting to note here that according to the FBI, they had in their possession two timing devices two years before the bombing of

21:19 The aircraft. That would mean that they had the interior components, including the microchips, long before the Lockerbie incident. Perhaps this could explain why the lab could identify them so quickly. It might also explain other things, such as how a piece of such a chip ended up in the evidence. They had them. Did they plan them? In 1990 or 1991, Edwin Bollier said this.

21:53 I spent a whole week with the FBI because I wanted to see the actual fragment. Then they told me they didn't have it. What? The whole critical piece that the entire argument is based on, they don't have it? They told him, the Swiss guy that manufactures these, that they don't have it. They said that the Scottish police had it. But I thought you examined it. So.

22:26 He spent a whole week with the Scottish police, but they didn't have it. They could only show him a photograph of it, the same photograph that the FBI had. When Boyer asked the FBI to give him more information on the chain of evidence of the microchip and to explain what was going on, he was told this, quote, this could be explained. Three of his people had sworn that they had found this piece.

22:58 in a piece of a coat that had signed a paper to this effect. What? I later heard that it was the Scottish police who had found the piece in a shirt that came from Malta, unquote. The FBI was essentially telling Bollier that they had agents in a place in Scotland as every piece of material was discovered, turned in, and examined.

23:30 Then the Scottish police stated that it was they who found the microchip. But then it is extremely odd that they actually attempted to have a civilian searcher sign a statement two years later that he found it. The bottom line on the government story appears to be smokescreen for what really happened. What did happen? The government's version is basically that the Libyan government, crazy Gaddafi, sent two of its intelligence officers to Malta to build a bomb.

24:02 Put it in a suitcase, tag it for JFK, then wait while the suitcase made its way through three countries, changing planes. In the middle of Europe, winter, when flights are often delayed, canceled, to explode in an American jumbo jet. The problem is that there is another story that has begun to surface since that December 1988 explosion. On July 3rd, 1988.

24:34 Less than six months before the Pan Am 103 bombing, another large aircraft disaster occurred. On that day in the Persian Gulf, the USS Vincennes, a frigate identified an incoming bogey as an early warning radar scope. As the sailors watched, the blip continued to approach their ship. Fearing an attack from an Iranian F-14 fighter bomber, Captain Rogers, the skipper of the Vincennes, gave an order.

25:04 to man their battle stations. The communication division of the Vincennes attempted to contact the inbound aircraft over and over, but there was no response. And when it continued inbound and crossed into the danger area of missile launch, Rogers decided he had no choice but to protect his ship. He ordered weapons systems to fire. A few minutes later, the aircraft, an airbus filled with 290 civilian passengers and crew,

25:38 plunged into the Persian Gulf. The Iranians held American, who they considered the great Satan, responsible. And in Islamic law, it was dictated that such an event had to be answered. Bani Sadar, who served as president of Iran in 1979 to 81, said it was a crime. The people of Iran saw this as a crime. Shooting down an airplane, killing almost 300 people is a crime.

26:08 The people of Iran will never forget this. Had it involved any other country, there would have been legal proceedings. A lot of fuss would have been made all over the world. But here they destroyed the aircraft and they congratulated themselves. They even gave a medal to the officer who gave the order. Pan Am 103 investigator Javal Aviv noted after the downing of the Iranian aircraft by the Vincennes, everybody expected revenge.

26:37 The Iranians had to religiously avenge those deaths. It was clear that they would teach the Americans a lesson, that they would duplicate what the Americans had done to them. It was only a question of time. Aviv cast even more light onto the Iranian Pan Am 103 connection by way of covert intelligence agents called cutouts. Iran would never do it directly.

27:10 They would pay $10 million to a terrorist network that knew how to go about it. And the contract was actually put out. It was known at the time that the contract was out to down an American airliner. The contract, known as a fatwa, was issued to a group that was Syrian-based Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine, a general command. The leader of this cell, Ahmed Jarbal.

27:40 was a Syrian-backed terrorist who ran the largest circle of Islamic terrorism. To him, it would serve three purposes. First, it would earn them quite a sum of money. Second, it would be a major attack against the Americans. Lastly, it would give him a great deal of stature in Iran. For the mission, he established a special cell in Germany.

28:10 near Frankfurt. In the cell, he provided everything his men would need to accomplish the mission, including a bomb maker. His name is Karisek. His specialty, besides building small but very powerful bombs, was modifying and incorporating very sophisticated timing mechanisms. Some of the accomplishments included timers connected to altitude detonators.

28:46 Some systems would allow an aircraft to become airborne, fly against a given distance over time, then the bomb would arm and detonate. Such a mechanism would work in a scenario such as a bomb being loaded onto an airplane in Frankfurt, then not arming until the jumbo jet had made a stop in Heathrow, then resume the travel to the U.S. The bomb would not arm until a given time, then would not detonate until it reached a specific altitude.

29:18 This would allow for a stop in London and then resume travel. It would also explain why the bomb didn't detonate over the Atlantic. The plane was delayed for two hours at Heathrow. All did not go well for the terrorists. They were detected in September of 88 by the German intelligence criminal police during an operation. A few weeks later in October, 17 people were arrested to include the bomb maker.

29:50 The Germans found massive amounts of weaponry, explosive, and timing devices. They also found a Toshiba radio tape player with a plastic explosive bomb inside that was designed to blow up aircraft. Karid was taken in by the German intelligence and held for terrorist activities. They had more on him than most of the others, for they had intercepted an intelligent international call made.

30:21 to Damascus, Syria, in which he stated, I have made some changes to the medicine. It's better and stronger. But Karit evidently had connections in high places. He demanded to place one phone call and then refused to answer any questions. Within a couple of hours, he was mysteriously released and flown directly back to Damascus. Okay, hold on a second. So the Germans found a...

30:54 Islamic terrorist and then released him with all the bomb making material to send him away forever, but released him. What? Former CIA agent Oswald Lewenter, who helped expose the inner workings of the affair to the media, gives a clue to his connections. Quote, I had spoken to a German reporter who refuses to go on camera.

31:28 but who's very close to federal intelligence in Germany, who assured me that Kareem was an agent of the Jordanian intelligence service. Jordan as in the surrogate of the UK Jordan? Yeah, that Jordan, operating out of Damascus. Huh. He also told him that

31:58 Karit was directly associated with the CIA. That's crazy. CIA with bomb makers in Germany of Muslim descent. That seems very, very Gladio-ish to me. Lewenter also discovered that pressure had come from Bonn, from the U.S. Embassy in Bonn, to release him.

32:35 The U.S. Embassy. Well, why would the U.S. be interested in releasing a known bomb-making terrorist? During the course of his investigation, Aviv discovered the fact that Karith not only served the Jareel terrorist network, but other terrorist networks. According to Aviv,

33:10 He was also reporting his activities for years to Israel, Jordan, and the U.S. Now, why would Israel and the U.S. and Jordan want to blow up the Lockerbie to get rid of Gaddafi? The Israeli effort was so successful that it had been rumored that Abu Nadal himself is on the Israeli payroll.

33:46 which is why he has never been picked up or assassinated by an Israeli hit team. In April 1989, four months after the destruction of Pan Am 103, the BND, the CIA counterpart in Germany, raided an apartment in Neuss. Inside, they discovered three other Kari manufactured bombs concealed in electronic devices.

34:19 The Germans knew there was a fourth bomb, but could not find it. There were rumors of a fifth. These bombs were so sophisticated that the top German bomb technician was killed trying to disarm one. Amazingly, the German government would never request the extradition of Kurit, and the Scottish police would never be permitted to talk to him.

34:48 On top of this, the FBI interviewed Karit on November 12th and 13th in 1989 and never revealed the details of these interviews to the Scottish police. Later, an investigative journalist managed to interview Karit as well, who told him that he was a secret agent and had been sent to Germany on a mission and had built bombs. It appears the U.S. government, or at least

35:19 Certain persons in the intelligence community knew in advance of these devices and did nothing to stop them. In fact, as the story continues, certain American agents appear to have assisted the bombers. Another clue that certain high ranking individuals from various governments were pulled from the plane. One example was South American, excuse me, South African.

35:46 delegation, which included South African President Peter Botha. The Botha party changed its flight booking at the last hour due to a warning from South African security forces who are closely aligned with both the CIA, Israel, and MI6. So wait a minute. The president of South Africa was supposed to be on Lockerbie 101 and was warned not to get on the plane.

36:18 by U.S.-friendly intelligence. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Others also changed their mind about flying on Pan Am 103. According to one Pan Am security officer, quote, it subsequently came to me on further inquiry that they hadn't ignored the warnings. A number of VIPs were pulled off the plane at the last minute.

36:46 A number of intelligence operatives were pulled off the plane, unquote. But these events have been swept under the carpet in official American government FBI version of events. According to the FBI, here is what happened. Libyan strongman Omar Gaddafi, who didn't have a fucking thing to do with any of this, incensed over.

37:15 being bombed on April 14th, 1986, air raid in Tripoli, sent two of his intelligence officers to Malta to build a suitcase bomb that they didn't know how to build. They then tagged the suitcase for JFK in New York City, put the bomb aboard a Malta flight, then sat back and waited for the bomb to go through three countries and security measures, changing planes through these three countries.

37:49 and their security measures to explode after the Pan Am jet left Heathrow and flew over the Atlantic. To back up those findings, their quote-unquote investigation, the U.S. government relied on its pre-programmed view of Gaddafi being crazy. CIA veteran Vincent Castrano.

38:20 developed a Libyan policy that fit the National Security Council's desire to hold Qaddafi responsible for the majority of terrorist events happening all over, regardless of whether he was or not. That sounds so familiar. The CIA agent is quoted in the Maltese double cross, quote, I developed the policy towards Libya. In fact, I even wrote the draft paper that was later adopted by the president.

38:51 Unquote. Howard Treacher, the senior director of the NSC staff between 85 and 87, stated that that same CIA officer and myself were the coordinators of the Libyan policy within the NSC and did have a direct role in coordinating the papers written by the State Department with input from the CIA, Department of Defense and other agencies that had a role. The Iran-Contra figure.

39:22 Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, working for the Reagan administration, paired up with Constrano, the CIA guy, in a program meant to destroy Qaddafi's regime. Coincidentally, that same CIA officer later headed up the CIA's investigation into the Lockerbie bombing. What could go wrong with that? Here's the guy that's mission is to take down Qaddafi. He's put in charge of the Lockerbie investigation.

39:52 that miraculously comes up with Qaddafi did it. Got it. The same CIA agent later stated, the principal avenues that led to the identification of a foreign role in an act of terrorism was forensic evidence recovered by Scottish police who did not discover it. One of those bits of debris turned out to be a microchip that they couldn't get anybody to sign saying they found.

40:23 which was analyzed and led to the Libyan connection, which it did not. It has never been satisfactorily explained how this bit of microchip led to Libya versus Syria or Iran or Iraq or Germany. And considering that this vital piece of evidence allegedly found away from the main crash in a densely wooded area could have easily been planted or shown up in evidence.

40:50 chain later and simply tagged as evidence found at such and such a location, it makes this one piece of evidence very suspect. Do you think? They can't get anybody to take responsibility and then afterwards, no one knows where it is. But it's the key to everything. Holy shit. Especially considering the fact that no one seems to know exactly who found it. Also, we find that dealing with Libya as a terrorist state

41:24 was much more expedient and less dangerous than dealing with, you know, like Iran. Because what's happening at this time in dealing with Iran? Oh, you know, in the 1980s, we're selling them missiles and all kinds of other shit. So who wants to give them a black name, right? Howard Treacher says, quote, Vince was quite aware of what was going on in Syria and of the Iranian dimension.

41:55 and the Iraqi dimension of their role in state-sponsored terrorism. What emerged in U.S. policy was the tendency to be able to most directly deal with Libya because of Libya's geography and its proximity to Europe and the United States, as opposed to Iraq, Iran, or Syria. It was much more difficult to deal with those. So we're just going to blame whoever we want. We want to take Qaddafi out, so we'll blame him for everything. That's so scientific.

42:27 It was also much more difficult to deal, especially with Syria. Syria was needed to help out Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. And to blame Syria for their involvement in a bombing would have been politically undoable at the time. Despite the fact that all of the evidence points to at least housing the terrorist that was found in Germany.

42:59 with all of the exact same equipment. But the Bush administration did know who did the actual bombing. Bush Secretary of State James Baker visited Syria in 89, six months after the Lockerbie disaster, and met with Syrian foreign intelligence minister. At that meeting, Baker was reported to have said, quote, what are you going to do about the GLC group?

43:29 What are you talking about? Asked the intelligence minister. Jabril, that's the name of the terrorist group this guy belonged to. The real guy that was making all the bombs that they arrested and then let go. We know they are responsible for the Lockerbie. What are you going to do about them? The Syrian intelligence guy asked him, how do you know that? Baker says we have evidence and the evidence is irrefutable.

44:00 So privately, the evidence is irrefutable that the guy who was caught in Germany with all of those bombs and let go to return to Syria is irrefutable evidence that that guy did it. That's the private story, according to James Baker. The public story for America and the rest of the world is it was Qaddafi.

44:32 Despite the fact that the U.S. government knew who was behind the bombing, official Washington put on a completely different face. Marlon Fitzwater, the official spokesperson, announced to the press, quote, that the investigation has come to this Libyan conclusion is not a surprise. We are now actively considering what action to take, unquote. Then the U.S. Attorney General.

45:06 I don't think he was the attorney general. He worked in the attorney general's office. Robert Mueller, yes, Robert Mueller, told the American public, quote, we have no evidence to implicate another country other than Libya in this disaster, unquote. That's a bold-faced lie. That's your government.

45:36 James Baker, we have irrefutable evidence. It's the bomb guy terrorist that we had you let go in Germany and return to Syria. And the DOJ is making the statement along with the White House that we have 100% proof that it's Libya. The British joined in on the cover up. Douglas Heard, British Foreign Secretary, releasing the new statement.

46:07 Quote, I understand the investigation has revealed no evidence to suggest involvement of other countries. Unquote. Bold face lie. Lord Fraser, Lord Advocate of Scotland and head of the inquiry on Lockerbie, clenched the case when he stated, quote, the two accused are Abel Bassat Ali Humamid.

46:40 Al Magadi, and Lamin, whatever his last name is, both of which are supposedly Libyan intelligence people, and they weren't even intelligence people. With the exception of physically apprehending the villains, the case appeared to be closed. It seems there was more to the case than a simple terrorist attack. What was not exposed to the press or the public at the time were the international drug smuggling and the American hostage connections.

47:14 In the Bexar Valley, terrorist groups rub shoulders with heroin drug gangs. Often, they're one in the same. You know, kind of like here. According to Steve Donahue, an ex-USDEA undercover agent, the heroin labs themselves are located in the Bexar Valley. The major one is ran by Jamil Hamira, who was the target of our investigation.

47:48 His activities and a method for financing at the first level had internal military activities within Lebanon. And at the second level, terrorist financing from abroad, meaning the CIA. To this, FBI agent Oliver Buck Revell, who supervised the FBI investigation of Lockerbie case, added, quote,

48:16 Lebanon is a conduit for a great deal of drugs and the organizations that are moving it through are at least supporting the movement and are violent political organizations. They are directly connected with much of the drug trafficking through the area, unquote. In the Bekaa Valley, the Jafar family sent one of their relatives, a boy named Khalid Jafar, to Frankfurt to stay with friends, in air quotes.

48:47 who would find work in the United States, then put him on a plane for America. What they did not know was that Khalid had been selected to perform a mission for these drug traffickers. One of the members of the Jafar family explained that the Harini family tell him, quote, we send him to Germany. From Germany, he goes to America. They give him an address. In Germany, he stayed with friends.

49:16 What he, the friend, fixed is his bag, a tape recorder. The family may or may not have known that Khalid was also taking a suitcase filled with heroin to the U.S. through a system that they had thought was safe, but which was actually part of a DEA controlled by network. In other words, DEA is actually shipping drugs into the United States and calling it a control network. U.S.

49:56 The DIA agent, who was later detailed to work with the DEA and CIA in Lebanon under the quote unquote drug war, explained, quote, they could not eradicate the drugs in Lebanon. So they could only do two things. Join them. No, that wasn't it. I'm sorry. Monitor what was being produced and how it was being shipped out. And two, use DEA informants from Lebanon.

50:28 in drugstains operations back in the U.S. to set up drug buys and catch drug buyers in the U.S. Now that's a fancy way of saying that they're just facilitating it because they don't do any of that shit. They do monitor it for their own gains. He goes on to say that was a big part of what we were doing. It was arranged by the DIA for me to go work for the DEA in this narcotic operation group.

51:01 headed by Michael Hurley, the country's attache, meaning he's CIA. My main responsibility was to gather intelligence in Lebanon relating to opium production and trafficking and that sort of thing. The operation was simple. Paid DEA informants would notify the DEA teams when a suitcase shipment would leave Lebanon. The routing, the description of the carrier, the DEA would in turn make sure the...

51:33 Courier and heroin by means of a double paid agent in the know and a customs agent who worked at various airports and baggage facilities travel unmolested between the destinations. They're describing you the network we've covered in here forever. They own the customs. They own everybody in this chain. It's all greased. They had set up an entire heroin trafficking network.

52:04 using suitcases through European airports. And they're using other people as the couriers because of course they're not going to do the dirty work, but they're paid very heavily or handsomely. And they make sure they travel unmolested. And then supposedly after they hit the port in the United States, that's when we're going to make the bust. But they never do. Aviv explained.

52:39 that at least once or twice a week, a courier would carry a brown Samsonite suitcase full of drugs from Cyprus to Frankfurt, where an arrangement in Frankfurt with a baggage handler would switch the suitcase with a similar suitcase full of clothing. The suitcase would then go through security system, then be switched back out by a Pan Am employee. Pan Am, the airline that we've tracked extensively in connection with the CIA.

53:12 back to the one with the drugs in it. Then it would go on board the airplane. It would arrive at Kennedy and would be picked up. So if you want to take somebody out, just put the bomb in one of those suitcases because they're already cleared with everything greased to go through all of the security and everything else. Brilliant. During this timeframe, another political crisis was underway. Six Americans had been taken hostage in Beirut and were being held.

53:46 The Reagan administration became obsessed with gaining these prisoners release, whereby bribery or by force, besides attempting to gain their release by means of bribery through Iranians who supported and supposedly had influence over these hostage takers. They also had planned to incorporate a military hostage rescue team under.

54:18 the command of Major Charles Chuck McKee. And of course, we already skipped ahead, so we know that the potential of the people that were killed in the Newfoundland crash were part of that team. But it turned out that Major McKee was extremely anti-drug. When he discovered that he would be working hand in glove with drug smugglers,

54:46 In a hostage rescue effort, he refused to go through with it. Instead, he took his team out of Beirut to Cyprus, where he and his comm man notified Washington that he would be returning to the States with his team, complete with all travel details, and would tell them what was going on when he got there. In other words, he was going to blow the lid off the entire international drug smuggling aspect of the U.S. government.

55:13 That was going on simultaneously with the Iran-Contra affair. According to the Maltese double-cross, the DEA was watching McKee, separately telexing McKee's final travel arrangements to CIA director in Washington, MI6 director in the UK, and the CIA special action team in Germany, with overall control of drugs for intelligence operations.

55:42 Every spook in Europe knew that he was coming back. Traveling with McKee on his leg from Frankfurt to London, then on to JFK, was Matthew Kevin Gannon, the CIA deputy station chief for Beirut, who was also evidently going back to back up McKee's claims. According to taped telephone conversations between ex-CIA agent Oswald Lewenter and a former colleague,

56:12 Taped after LeWinter left the CIA, the bomb went on board the aircraft in Frankfurt, assisted by CIA operatives. This is a conversation between LeWinter and a confidential contact. LeWinter asks, are you there? The contact says, yeah. Then he asks, how are you? He says, pretty good. Where are you calling from?

56:38 The winter says, I'm in Wiesbaden. I just got to Frankfurt from the airport. I thought I'd chill out here for the night. The confidential source says, are you alone? He says, of course I'm alone. You don't think I'd be asking you questions with somebody around. The confidential source says, hold on. The tone in the background of a recording device. Hello? The winter then asked, now you tell me where you are. He said, okay, what's that?

57:10 I just turned it off. It was being taped. What the fuck? Do you want to know this? Why do you want to know this for? Do you mean the special actions group in Wiesbaden? Lewenter says, yeah, yeah. I mean, you're retired from there now, but you're still doing what? Consulting work? The confidential source says, sure. Lewenter says, all right, now look, does the name Khalid Jafar mean anything to you? He says, yeah.

57:42 Who is it? He's a local guy, man. You know who he is. What do you mean local guy? The confidential source says, come on. He said, who does he have to do with? The confidential source says he's the Lockerbie man. Okay, now, when he came to Germany in 88, who met him? Who met him at the plane? Now, when he was taken back to get on the plane to leave the country,

58:14 Who took him back through security? The confidential source says we did. Some of my men took him out. We took him on the plane and turned him over to Gannon. You mean Gannon was his keeper on the plane? That's right. No shit. That's right. First class. That big mother effer sitting right up there. Upgrading to first class after they're changing planes to...

58:44 Pan Am 103 at Heathrow, Major Chuck McKee, Linda Forthright, Pan Am ground hostess at Lockerbie remembered McKee because he had asked for an upgrade. He had a certificate for a program that was running at the time, and I moved him to first class. He was pleased, which struck up a rapport over the short period of time. Then later, another gentleman came in, which I found out was Mr.

59:14 At 7.02 p.m. on Wednesday, December 21, 1988, Pan Am 103 had reached 31,000 feet on a course across Britain. One minute later, over the Scottish Isle of Lockerbie, almost to the coastline, a bomb exploded aboard the plane. The combination of airspeed, depressurization, and failure of the integrity of the aircraft.

59:44 caused it to shred. That's it. So two whistleblowers on their way back to the United States were taken out in Lockerbie 103. The actual bomb maker was arrested in Germany and released and returned to Syria under the protection of the CIA. They took out one of their own and an active duty military person who refused to participate in drug trafficking.

1:00:28 which is exactly what they did to the guy in the previous Sandinista that refused to use Contra drug money to equip his fighters in Nicaragua. They took him out too. If that doesn't make your blood boil, nothing will. Oh, I see they messed up Bridget. Let me get her back up here. Oh my gosh. So crazy.

1:01:09 So crazy. I kind of knew most of these things separately already, but seeing it all outlined in a neat package is something else. Yeah, it is something else. And that's actually a very interesting point, Dutch Rumbler. That's what I think the beauty of what we do here is, is this consistent narrative.

1:01:39 of putting all these pieces together because they're betting on the fact that each of these incidences are separate. Each of these incidents, while they lie to our face nonstop, five, 10 years from then, the truth comes out and it's already old news. And that's what they say. Oh, that's old news. That's already been debunked, whatever.

1:02:08 But when you go back in time and you string all of these things together, the narrative is overwhelming. And you can't then refute the fact that they have been doing this consistently for decades after decades after decades. Did you have anything you wanted to add, Bridget? Just, you know, it is great. Okay.

1:02:44 It makes your blood boil reading all this playbook. And it's playbook because we keep seeing the repeating patterns over and over and over. But in that same respect, as Fourth of July of our 250th anniversary comes, what a time to be alive. Because we know this playbook and all of the people that have been along this journey with us,

1:03:14 of uncovering and documenting that playbook and putting it together, we're also seeing them, other people, use that playbook against them. And it is just, and it's the first time that anybody has ever done it and lived. Okay, I'll put it that way. Hey, don't say that! No, I mean, you know, as far as, like what Donald Trump has done and what...

1:03:49 At that level, absolutely. Yeah, at that level. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because typically, not only do people not get a chance to report on it, if they do get to write a book about it, if they make it to that point, it generally gets buried. Never made it on the bestseller list. Buried back on the, you know, they have had such control over not just the information, but to see.

1:04:21 Again, to see the powers that be, and it's not just Trump, and it's not just the United States, actually use their own playbook against them is a brilliant and beautiful thing to behold. And to see it all converge at the same time as our 250th anniversary, you know, what a time to be alive. You know, this is nefarious and awful things that we're uncovering, that we're exposing to everybody else.

1:04:53 But what a time to be alive. I agree. I agree. All along. Go ahead. Yeah, this is related tangentially to your comments regarding our good friends at the West German intelligence today. German intelligence. We can barely hear you all along. I can hear you better. OK, so this relates to the West German BND commentary.

1:05:31 I was listening to Dave Emery's show on WFMU Archives, which he has an excellent series. But anyway, short version, the chief of police at Hamburg in West Germany, I'm sorry, Germany, was, you know, very involved in some of the activities of the 9-11 hijackers and their support network in Hamburg.

1:06:03 um germany rather and um he points out that that chief of police or i'm sorry it might not be chief of police it might be of the bnd division or whatever but he became head of bnd and then in 2007 there was surprise surprise a big uh fire in which like zillions of those related records were destroyed so i'm sorry if i'm a little fuzzy on the details i should be more clear but

1:06:33 But check it out if you're interested in Dave Emery's series at WFMU Archives. It's often a very, very good show. So bottom line is they burned up the evidence. How about that? I would like to say I'm shocked, but of course I'm not. So Alex Proudfoot says, me and my father live around 12 miles from Lockerbie. We both were traveling from the train station back home when the plane struck the ground.

1:07:04 In nearby fields. I pity the farmers next day. I agree with you. That had to be one of the most morbid. Things to have to deal with. Absolutely awful. Yeah. And somebody else said. I started watching the Gladio series. And he got so mad. He couldn't go on. So he has to go back. And start watching it again. Yeah. I understand that feeling.

1:07:40 But you have to force yourself to understand what the real history is. Because especially right now, you're being asked to allow some leeway for the system to come down. And a lot of people aren't going to be able to understand that there may be some hardship.

1:08:10 to take this system down, if you don't actually understand what the system is, you're less likely to want to provide that leeway to dismantle this system than if you know how really awful and evil and satanic this system is, then you're much more likely to support the people that are actively out there trying to dismantle this system.

1:08:39 So I think it's incredibly important, number one, to know what our history is and number two, to be able to take that information and share it with everybody that you know. And then we collectively have a common place to start building back something that has much more integrity.

1:09:10 And meaning than this fake environment that we live in. Because most of all of our lives has been 100% a lie. And if you don't know what the truth is, how do you start building a foundation to go forward? Yeah, you have to have the truth because it can only be in truth that we move forward. I see a lot of you guys commenting on the show that I was on.

1:09:39 Last night with Beer in the Parade and Debrief and the Cates Brothers. Thank you for all those kind comments. I really enjoyed that show. And I did say on the show last night, it's probably the only show I've ever been on that I talk more than Brian. And I wasn't joking. That is probably the only show I've ever been on. Bridget, go ahead. Oh, I just wanted to pile on to what you had said.

1:10:09 about forcing yourself through it. One of the biggest things, it is a struggle when you're going through it, but it cuts these invisible yo-yo cords that we have had embedded in us since childhood. Because we have a lot of people that are new, that are kind of coming aboard, we've talked about this before,

1:10:39 Because we lived through a lot of this, and a lot of the people are around our age, you'll remember climbing underneath the desks. This was all psychological tenderizing of our little brains to allow them to jerk and yank, as the colonel used to always say, if they use a cattle prod, to poke us and direct us.

1:11:10 When you have the knowledge, when you understand that this is what they're doing and that they've done it over and over and over, it makes you mad, but it also cuts that. It makes it ineffective. And once it's ineffective, you're no longer jerked and yanked by the next war, the next, quote, famine that's getting ready to happen, the next. And you see it for what it really is. And truth is contagious.

1:11:41 And it is the best rush you can get legally, in my opinion. But anyway, you know, it just, oh, what a time. And just for anybody tuning in now, if you go on, not via the app, but via a web browser on the Rumble, we have a lot of these sectioned off in the playlist to make it easier.

1:12:13 And anyway, it's worth the time. It's worth the time. Yeah, so to Bridget's point on the Rumble channel, if you go on the Colonel's Corner, you can slide over that list that says live or recorded or whatever on the right-hand side as you slide over, depending on what app you're... Because they have it on the app now. You can find the playlist. And if you hit the playlist...

1:12:41 Bridget goes in and organizes like the stuff I do with Warhamster on Friday at noon. If you didn't watch that show, you definitely need to watch that show. She has all of those under one playlist button. And then we have all of the books we've done. She puts all of the parts one through whatever, 20, 30.

1:13:04 All in one. So if you're out doing something, going on a trip, you can just turn it on and it'll just go through all of those books chapter by chapter by chapter. So it makes finding things a lot easier on that. And in every one of those, it's not just a reading. It's also blending of not only what she's also read and putting it in context with today's events or events that were going on when we started this journey.

1:13:36 And it's so mind-blowing to me. Because to that point, you know, like we're reading about this one thing. And if you just read that one chapter, you're like, there's no way that's true. There's no way that the CIA is running a drug network. But we've documented their drug network back to, you know, post-World War II when they were first created. As a matter of fact, we talked about it today at noon on the War Hamster Show.

1:14:03 They basically set up this entire system. And so we can put that in context. As unbelievable as it may be that the CIA is involved in drug trafficking in the Middle East, that's comparative to the drug trafficking they did in South America, in Central America, in Eastern Asia. They literally in Afghanistan, in Vietnam.

1:14:31 They do drug trafficking all over the world. So if you read that chapter that we just covered in isolation, you may have some very valid questions about, surely the DEA is not involved in it. Yes, they are. Surely the customs aren't involved. Yes, they are. And we've documented it over and over and over again, book by book, all over.

1:15:01 We talked about earlier when Warhamster and I were doing our show about why Bill Donovan ended up as the ambassador of Thailand. Well, of course he ended up as the ambassador of Thailand because we were setting up Thailand as the narco network and spent over $35 million buying the national police and setting up their intelligence capability to look the other way.

1:15:28 in all of the transiting of drugs and weapons into and out of that area. So we did the same thing in Colombia with our war on drugs playing Colombia. So again, we've documented. So there's no questioning when we come across the CIA being involved in yet another drug trafficking operation where...

1:15:56 They know exactly which suitcase is going through Germany with their drugs on it that has an already preset method of pulling it out and substituting it and then placing it back on an aircraft. If they want to bomb any aircraft, they do it that way because they already have everybody in place because they're running drugs that way.

1:16:23 So, hey, we got a guy coming back to the States is going to blow the whistle on our drug trafficking. Let's take him out along with 269 other people. Oh, but oh, by the way, we're going to give everybody that we don't want to blow up a heads up and pull them off the aircraft. Absolutely crazy. Okay. And that's why doing all of these books the way we've done them is so important because it puts it all in context. All right, guys.

1:17:00 If it doesn't rain, I'm going downtown Nashville to Don Rich's bar tonight. So pray that it doesn't rain, even though it's hotter than Hades here. Warhamster, go ahead. Just real quick, I know you're trying to sign off. Just wanted to say happy Independence Day to everybody. We're about to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

1:17:31 And I think it's about high time we sign another Declaration of Independence against these freaking people who've stolen our country out from under us. And I've been working on writing that. Amen. It'll be coming soon. It's time for us to break free of those shackles, too. And funny enough, as we've been going through, shackles, a lot of them keep coming from England. Yeah, I agree. And I, too.

1:18:00 want to wish everybody a happy 4th of July to our entire family on Rumble, Locals, YouTube, and X Spaces. You guys have made this an amazing journey for Bridget and I. And we really, really appreciate all of your support and you showing up every day and doing the promotion of our channel and sharing it out with people.

1:18:30 The audience just continues to grow and I really, really appreciate all of the support. I can't say that enough. We wouldn't be here without you. So thank you all very much and happy 4th of July. Okay, guys, take care.
