0:00 How are you today, Bridget? Bridget, can you hear me? Oh, I guess her thing's not working. Renee, can you hear me? Renee, can you hear me? Yes, Roger, I can hear you. All right, let me bring Bridget back up. Sorry about that. I was getting out and reconnecting, so I don't know what's going on. All right, let me get over here on Rumble, and we will go live over there.

0:50 So much happening. Okay, we're live over on Rumble now. So although we're gonna start the devil's chess board today, I did wanna go through a couple of points in the epilogue to our previous book, the Mafia CIA and George Bush, just to kind of, cause it's a good transition into our next book. So the bottom line that,

1:20 Pete Bruton makes is that at the end of the day, when the quote unquote savings and loan operation was finished, the aftermath, there was a couple of points he wanted to make. One was all of the big, rich, oligarchical landowners made money at the end of the day. Myers, DuPont, all of those, they made a lot of money.

1:50 They sold property at a much inflated price through loans and reloans and all of that stuff, which we covered pretty extensively during the book. And obviously, during those transactions, there was money being skimmed off for both the mafia and the CIA operations. But he made a few points that I think were worth reiterating.

2:19 that most of the journalists back in the day did not follow any of the paper trails, that most of the major newspapers had assigned people who did not necessarily have a financial background to cover financial. And of course, you would assume that's by design. Congress had the authority to

2:49 subpoena all of this paperwork because financial documentation was excluded from FOIA. But that didn't prevent Congress from subpoenaing them, even though they did have a kind of a small, wasn't a full-blown committee, big investigation, of course, because they wouldn't have been allowed to do that. But they took no action at all.

3:17 to get to the bottom of where the money was going, anything. They didn't subpoena any of those types of documentations. And he summarized it by saying the very simplified version of the savings and loan scam was lending more money on the property than what it was worth and continuing to jack up those loans, as we pointed out repeatedly.

3:47 And he says, one of the most popular ways was through acquisition, development, and construction loans in which the borrower would buy a piece of vacant land with plans on paper to do a development. The savings and loan would lend the money for both the land and the development. Very little of any development at all occurred. So the savings and loan was left with a vacant piece of land worth far more than it had been borrowed against it.

4:15 But the savings and loan owner was happy because they collected their loan origination fees and generated money. They could later sell the property to another crooked savings and loan at an inflated price, which they did repeatedly. The original landowner was happy because he got way more than his property was worth. And the borrower was happy because he had gotten the development money and walked away.

4:46 By chance, if the government ever did come after the borrower, he just put that money in an offshore account where it would never be available. So it was a win for all of them. At the end of the day, it was estimated that $200 billion in 1980 and early 1990 money was, that's what it cost us, the taxpayers. $200 billion.

5:21 And then we were told that it was too hard to track the money. However, the people who do have the subpoena power could track it, the FBI, federal prosecutors. They basically had no interest in doing it because they were part of the cover-up. In one case handled by a Dallas Savings and Loan Task Force, it was found that more than $10 million was wired by a savings and loan owner to a bank in the account.

5:54 in the Isle of Jersey. The assistant U.S. attorney handled the case and announced that they had tracked it to a particular bank account. And when they finally got to it, because it took all this time, the money was gone. So they could actually do it. They just chose not to. Former Attorney General Richard Thornburg, who presided over the Justice Department Savings and Loan Investigation, made the incredible statement,

6:26 on a number of occasions that the fraudulently obtained savings and loan money could not be traced, even though there was a repeated evidence that it could be traced. Yet the success of his own department in Operation Polar Cap disproved his claims. That operation was an attempt to trace some of the Medellin cartel drug money from cash in this country to offshore bank accounts.

6:57 and then back to this country. Some of the money was deposited in that investigation into Silverado Savings, where, of course, George Bush's son, Neil Bush, was a director. The operation met with a fair amount of success and was basically one of the only ones that would be done because it was possibly too successful. So a couple other points.

7:32 Congress provided a layer of protection by failing to exercise its power to track the flow of money out of the savings and loan. Not one congressman that I am aware of ever asked these simple questions. What happened to all the money? Why don't we try to track it down? They didn't care because they were bought and paid for themselves. For many of the big...

8:00 savings and loan failures, the federal regulator hired private law firms to track down the money. And as Pete Bruton says, it was akin to putting the fox in charge of the hen house because it was the law firms that was at the central part of all of these shenanigans. Also, there was layer of protection offered by the CIA.

8:29 First, the CIA could simply go to the FBI and say that a person was under investigation for working for or had worked for the agency and therefore could not be investigated or prosecuted. They were protected. The FBI referred to that as their get out of jail free card. Two examples of that was detailed throughout this book. The CIA also generally receives KITGOV treatment in the press.

8:59 Because, of course, they own the press. It also says the CIA is able to withhold any document from the public, whether it's legitimate or not, which we've proven unequivocally by putting national security on it. But what about Congress's investigation into CIA involvement in the savings and loan scandal? There was a so-called preliminary inquiry by a congressional committee into allegations of CIA involvement.

9:29 In February of 1990, the Houston Post published the first story detailing some of those allegations. One day later, U.S. Representative Frank Annunzio, a Democrat from Illinois, called for the CIA Director William Webster to appear before his financial institution subcommittee and answer questions the next day after the story ran. Annunzio couldn't have cared less about the facts.

9:59 All he knew was it was going to give him an excuse to deflect some of the adverse publicity he himself was going to be getting with the savings and loan issue. Webster refused to appear before the committee, saying it was a matter for the intelligence committees and he had no authority. But the CIA did more than just refuse to appear before the banking subcommittee.

10:27 It wrote a letter to Annunzio in which it simply lied about the Houston Post investigation. The CIA letter stated that CIA officials have been in contact with the Assistant U.S. Attorney General John Smith in Houston, who is quoted in the Post. Smith states emphatically that he never said that there was any connection between his office's ongoing banking investigation and the CIA, and that he is not aware of any connection.

10:54 Smith states that he told the Post reporters that there was no connection between the CIA and the ongoing banking investigation. The reporter appears to have neglected to include that in his article. But Smith, a man of greater integrity than the CIA official who wrote the letter, said the letter did not accurately represent what he had told Pete about the CIA. Quote, when that guy called me, I told him I wanted that deleted.

11:24 the part about him allegedly telling the Post where there was no connection to the CIA. And I wanted him to say something else because I didn't think that part was quite accurate. Smith said that he would not make such a statement about an ongoing investigation, which was attributed to him by the CIA. That is kind of their statement. So again, just deflection, always deflection.

11:58 Finally, and this is a point that needs to be driven home repeatedly because it's happening today. Listen to this. There was a matter of the Intelligence Committee staff director himself. So they actually referred it over to the Intelligence Committee. Who was the director of the Intelligence Committee staff at the time? Dan Childs. Childs had joined the committee.

12:27 In January of 90, one month before the Post series began, one month, several months after the CIA became aware of the fact that the newspaper was working on it. So quick, get a guy over there so that he can head off any uncomfortable information before the actual story gets to print. But they knew the story was being prepared.

12:59 Because word was getting back to the CIA that Pete Bruton was asking questions. So Childs, you might ask, what was his background? Oh, he just happened to have worked for the CIA for 26 years. And not just any place in the CIA. He was a financial officer in the CIA. He would have been part and parcel of this entire operation of moving finances around.

13:35 He is the lead guy on the Senate intel staff, quote unquote, looking into financial shenanigans of the CIA of which he was part of. Childs had joined the CIA in 1957 and worked in the administrative branch until 1976 when he went to work for the Senate Intelligence Committee. This was at the time of the devastating revelations.

14:06 about the church committee. Childs stayed in the Senate committee until 82, until that was put to bed. He rejoined the CIA as the comptroller, now that that fire had been put out. In 1983, Childs appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee to answer questions about Casey moving several million dollars from a secret contingency fund to the Contras.

14:38 In January of 91, one month after the House Intelligence Committee released the savings and loan SNL findings, Childs resigned. He returned to work at the CIA. So he literally was brought over there to make sure the CIA's in Congress. He had to have been hired by Congress. Congress is a crime scene. That's why I keep saying that.

15:07 They brought this guy in to protect the CIA. They didn't have to hire him. They could have hired anybody. They didn't. They brought him in twice to protect the CIA. The CIA's placing one of its own on a congressional investigation is not unprecedented. One of the chief investigators in the Iran-Contra was Tom Polger, who had worked for the CIA for 26 years.

15:37 including being chief of six CIA field installations in Asia, South America, and Europe. Pulger was also on the staff of Parvus, the consulting firm loaded with intelligence officers that has an advisory director, Theodore Dimitri, of the Houston law firm, Vinson & Elkins, which was in this book as well.

16:05 Childs denied that his former CIA position was a conflict of interest. He said, I didn't conduct the investigation. No, you were there as a gatekeeper. It certainly appears that Childs was brought in specifically to run damage control for the savings and loan investigation. And that concludes our book. So I'll temporarily open it up. Where did Bridget go?

16:37 Uh-oh, she got dropped. Let me bring her back up. Stellar, I'm going to put you in as a co-host as well. For some reason, Bridget keeps getting... So if anybody wants to make a couple of comments on that, we're not going to spend a lot more time on it. We're going to go ahead and move on to our next book. Did you want to say something, Meganuk?

17:14 Yeah, that's a pretty accurate description of it. Yeah. Warhamster, did you have something you wanted to say? No, I'm just looking forward to Devil's Chessboard. It's one of my favorites. I think I might have read it like twice more than, what came out like 25 years ago, something like that? That's a good place to start. It came out, this edition that I have came out in 2015.

17:48 But I don't know when the, it says the original, I don't know. This says the first, I don't know. This one says 2015. God, it feels like it's older. But, you know, as we go through this, I mean, obviously knowing who the author is, just think that there's a Rockefeller behind just about every chapter you're going to go through. Yeah, that is true. So.

18:20 Yeah, so this, I'm going to, we'll probably only get through the prologue today, just because there's so much information in it, and I don't want to leave anything out, because this book is, like, packed full. Illini, go ahead. Hey, Colonel. Yeah, it looks like, you know, this is sort of another, you know, the conclusion kind of gets us to...

18:49 The general point that whenever you have people investigating themselves, they never really seem to find anything. Really? Yeah, and they claim it's too hard. The beauty of it today is that if somebody were to try to come up with that argument today, everybody would just respond, we have everything in all these electronic financial systems.

19:19 All you have to do is, you know, just come up with a pathfinding algorithm or stick it into an LLM, and you can figure everything out, you know, where the cache all traces to, probably with about, you know, 30 minutes of number crunching on the computer. Yes, yes. They're not going to be able to hide behind that. I mean, this time it's something similar were to happen again. And then I guess the other kind of interesting tie-in as to what's happening today.

19:50 is, you know, obviously Tim Walz just announced he's not rerunning for, you know, minister to the governor. But people have been going after, you know, other governors too, where, you know, there have been these similar financial scandals and, you know, various ballooning expenses in, you know, these state welfare state systems. Well, that proves your point.

20:17 They can't hide it today. They can't hide it today. I'm getting to my point, though, which actually ironically ties back in to Pete Bruton's book, which is the Pritzker family is only mentioned once in Pete Bruton's book. But it's in reference, of course, to Burton Cantor and Castle Bank. But, you know.

20:44 I can't speak to JB, but if you were to speak to Hyatt in the 1970s or Jay Pritzker, maybe even Donald Pritzker in the 1960s and 1970s, number one, you've got Burton Cantor going on. He was a relatively infamous mafia-linked lawyer. Yes. He represented the Pritzker family. You've got...

21:13 Paul Helliwell, Castle Bank. The Priskers were one of the biggest clients of Castle Bank, according to Penny Leno. Yeah, in her book, In Banks We Trust. Yes. You've got that going on. And then finally, my favorite is you've got Jimmy Hoffa. The Priskers were one of the biggest recipients of loans from the Teamsters Union Pension Fund.

21:39 In the 1960s, they were involved in some of the original loans to Hyatt House Hotels in the early 1960s. So you have this mafia link here with this. OK, you have a number of different interesting kind of questions.

21:57 about this Pritzker family. Why is it that everybody else who's getting loans from the Teamsters Union in the 1960s is associated with Mafia-linked scams, but then you've got Hyatt, this upstanding corporation in there as well. What's going on with all of that? And if MAGA keeps going after

22:25 potential situations with the state of Illinois, and they start asking the Pritzker family some difficult questions, people can be there to help and to basically offer this historical foundation that the Pritzker family had some links to Castle Bank. They were one of the biggest clients. They had some of the largest balances there. And then, of course, you've got Jimmy Hoffa. Yeah.

22:54 What's going on there? Well, they just had a bigger PR budget to keep their name out of the press. Yes. I mean, I'm absolutely certain that, you know, these these big corporations, you know, who are the hospitality industry from the Sands Casino to Caesars Palace.

23:14 um to to hyatt if if you're a big corporation with lots and lots and lots of stock and public shareholders and sec oversight the sec investigated these guys back in late 70s saying they didn't provide enough disclosure um if you got sec oversight in the big corporation you're totally fine um there's no questions everything's totally kosher these corporations are are above reproach

23:39 But we find out that the SEC has specific people placed in charge of it just to make sure that's the outcome. Colonel, can I jump on a couple of things that Alana just brought up? Because he's just throwing red meat at me. Mr. Reform Banker, go ahead. So I'll go in reverse order with the Pritzker family. Now, obviously, most people here are aware of who Penny Pritzker is.

24:06 Obviously, her quick bio is she was a senior secretary of commerce under Obama, sits on the Harvard board and also on the board of Microsoft, the Carnegie Endowment for International War and the Obama Foundation. So, yeah, that's all Pritzker stuff. But it's funny because Hyatt, was it today, came out and said they weren't going to basically house. It was Hilton. It was Hilton. OK, so, yeah, OK, thank you.

24:32 So on another website over on Patriots.win, they were joking around saying, okay, well, I guess we'll have to go to Hyatt or Marriott. And obviously someone else was able to rip into Hyatt pretty quickly. And I go, okay, Marriott it is. And I go, well, let's hold the horses there. Because that's the Mitt Romney hotel chain. And they stopped funding, donating to GOP causes after January 6th. And they got a few other, in other words, there aren't any good chains.

25:00 I was actually really laughing about Eli and I talking about we've investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong. If you brought up Penny Pritzker, are you going to talk about Superior Bank and the mess there? Go for it. I have no details on it. You probably know it better than I do, but yeah. This was a Chicago area bank, I think in one of the west or southwest suburbs or something like that. I kind of perused this a couple of years ago because somebody referred me to it.

25:30 But Superior Bank blew up in, I think, the very early aughts, like around 2000 or so. It was 01, and I remember it because IndyMac was happening on the West Coast at the exact same time. And that actually touched some of my clients personally. But yeah, it was 01. My recollection of it, you have to dive deep into it, but I think there is an entry in the FDIC report that...

25:56 They found customer funds in a couple of strange places, and one of those places might have been Penny Pritzker's personal accounts. My recollection also is that when this happened with Refco a couple years later, these guys were indicted for racketeering under relatively similar circumstances. It was just, I think, the CFTC.

26:25 And they didn't segregate the customer funds. But what happened with the bank, I mean, people will have to corroborate this. I want to be really cautious with how I'm saying this, but I think there is an entry in there that the FDIC somehow tracked down some of the funds.

26:46 They were in – Penny Pritzker, I think, ultimately had to kind of check the FDIC for the return of certain funds that I believe may have been in her accounts. I just pulled it up, and it looks like they paid – the family paid $500 million settlement without admitting any wrongdoing, of course. $500 million? That's it. So she just gets off the – yeah.

27:16 Okay, and then Obama makes her Commerce Secretary? Well, of course. She understands how money works. The FDIC just lets her off the hook. There's no referrals or anything like that for anything. And then somehow she gets promoted. Yes, every single time. And then, of course, my favorite story with Penny Pritzker, since you raised it, Warhamster, is...

27:45 Claudine Gay. She would have been the Harvard president who nominated her. And of course, you know, one of the first recommendations for Claudine Gay actually came from Ambassador Michael McFaul, who was the ambassador to Russia, who was involved with the Hamilton 68 hoax where they were labeling, they were knowingly labeling, you know, everyday MAGA bloggers, Russian bots, along with a whole bunch of other deep state operatives.

28:16 It's just sort of a really fascinating story. That family, you know, is very interesting, and it might be interesting for people to take a look at them kind of the same way they might take a look at the Soros family. Would you be at all interested in knowing that Penny Pritzker was the U.S. special representative for Ukraine economic recovery? Yes, she was. Yes. Indeed. They created the position for her. Yes.

28:43 Because if you're going to embezzle money, what better family would you pick than the Pritzkers? We could have some fun with them. And just one last point on something Elle and I said is talking about we've investigated ourselves. He had securities licenses, so do I. And one of the things you find in the investment world is from the Chicago Board Options Exchange to the Chicago Board of Trade, the New York Stock Exchange, FINRA.

29:13 These are all what's called SROs, which stands for self-regulatory organizations, which means almost the vast majority of Wall Street and trading fraud is investigated in-house, period. And you can imagine, they are really good at making sure people like me don't send more than nine emails out with a lot of compliance officer's signature on it. But when it comes to the real big fraud, somehow that just never quite gets investigated whatsoever.

29:39 Well, and that's kind of my takeaway when I was looking at the, just doing a query out on the treasury website as to all of the money laundering. And you can search by bank and you're talking in some cases, billion dollar settlements. But if you go and look for that same,

30:07 money amount that's articulated as far as the money coming in and being laundered and all that other stuff, you don't find any corresponding criminal cases against who's conducting the illicit activity that would necessitate the money laundering. So obviously, if you've ever ran a business, you have a standard

30:36 amount of money that is set aside as normal business expense. And in the case of money laundering or illicit business, the banks are getting enough money on the illicit transactions that makes multiple hundreds of millions of dollars and even a billion dollar fine with no admission of wrongdoing worth doing money laundering.

31:05 So you need to understand how big of an operation money laundering is if you can build into that an expense account for paying billion-dollar fines to do it. That's just mind-boggling. Yeah, it's big business. It's a darn shame I was too honest to get into it. I mean, the one thing I'll say is I don't think –

31:37 I don't think the federal regulators are a serious force for enforcement. Well, they can't be. I mean, certainly the civil regulators. Honestly, I think the system ought to be different. I think that we ought to have a system of ruthless civil enforcement. Well, that's the bounty system that's been proposed. You know, your financial bounties. If I go out there and discover a million dollars worth of fraud, I keep 25% of it.

32:06 Quite. Well, those those cases take 10 years and it's only fraud against the federal government. We claim to have a regulatory we claim to have a robust civil regulatory system in this country. The real problem is, is that it really does. It kind of ties that of people who are trying to follow the rules because there's a lot of different complicated rules to follow. And then the people who are doing, you know, some of the crazier stuff out there, they never actually really seem to.

32:34 The issues never really seem to get addressed. International money comes to America, and they say it's because of the trust factor. Sorry. Yeah, it's exactly right. But if we pull back the veil a little bit, it's not just trust that, oh, I's are going to be dotted and T's are going to be crossed and decimals will be accurate. But if you're big enough, you can trust that you're going to get bailed out. That's going to get swept under the rug if you're big enough. That's the trust, is you trust the nudge, nudge, wink, wink system to stay intact.

33:04 Well said. All right. So we're going to trudge on into the devil's chessboard. So this is the prologue. We're going to start off with a quote. That little Kennedy, he thought he was a god. The words were sharp and wrong. And basically is kind of a thought.

33:32 that Alan Dulles shared with a guy by the name of Willie Morris. They were out for a casual stroll, chit-chatting amongst each other, and that's the line that he said to Willie Morris. Dulles, obviously the creator of American's intelligence empire, had summoned

34:00 Mr. Morris, who happened to be a young editor at Harper's Magazine, to help him set the record straight of a humiliation event. He wanted him to write his side of the story of the Bay of Pigs because it made Dulles furious that the Bay of Pigs turned out the way it did.

34:30 In April 1961, the biggest disaster in the CIA's history occurred. And of course, that was their attempt to topple Fidel Castro. Dulles was quoted as saying, it was the blackest day of my life. In public, the newly minted president, JFK, took responsibility for the fiasco.

35:02 and made gracious remarks about Dulles as he was kicking him out the door. But in private, a war had begun between Kennedy and Dulles camps. The Bay of Pigs came after a long string of Dulles victories, given free reign by President Eisenhower to police the world against any quote-unquote threat of U.S. dominion.

35:30 Dulles called himself the Secretary of State for unfriendly countries, while his brother was the Secretary of State for friendly countries. Meanwhile, talking about his brother, John Foster Dulles, was kind of like a doom and gloom kind of guy, giving frequent sermons on the veracity of communism.

36:04 And the constant threats of nuclear annihilation was right around the corner. And John Foster Dulles needed communism the way that Puritans needed sin. The infamous British double agent, Kim Philby, once remarked that.

36:27 So we've kind of established that fact in all of our research that communism was made out to be the boogeyman because in the strategy of tension, you have to have a boogeyman. As a young senator, JFK had broken from the Eisenhower-Dulles regime over the older man's nuclear brinkmanship, a game that Kennedy felt courted the abyss.

36:54 Kennedy had also signaled an eagerness to dramatically change America's hostile relationship in the developing world, expressing a sympathy for the national liberation movements in Algeria, the Congo, and Vietnam. He saw as historically inevitable their independence. While Eisenhower viewed the onrush of anti-colonial independence in the third world,

37:23 quote unquote, a destructive hurricane. Kennedy knew it was inevitable. Kennedy was loathe to completely overturn the old ruling order that had presided over the popular World War II hero, Eisenhower. Keeping Eisenhower's men like Dulles and the other Republican pillars of power like Wall Street banker C. Douglas Dillon.

37:54 who JFK named his treasury secretary, was a way of JFK assuring the nation that there wasn't going to be radical change. Alan Dulles was one of the wildest masters of secret power ever produced by America. And his most ambitious clandestine effort were directed not against hostile governments, but against his own.

38:24 While serving in multiple presidential administrations, he learned how to manipulate them all and subvert them if necessary. In the view of the Dulles brothers, democracy was an enterprise that had to be carefully managed by just the right people of which he was one. It could not be left to elected people. From the earliest days of Wall Street, where he ran Sullivan and Cromwell,

38:53 I don't know that he ran it. He was in it. The most powerful corporate law firm in the nation. Their overriding commitment was always a circle of privileged businessmen whom they saw as the true seat of power and being in charge of the United States, if not the world. As younger men, the Dulles brothers were obsessive chess players.

39:23 They would oftentimes face each other over a chess board. Everything else would fade away. John Foster Dulles would rise to become the chief counsel for American power, a man destined to quietly confer with kings and prime ministers, as well as despots. He liked to think of himself as a master chess player of the free world. His younger brother would become something more powerful still.

39:54 He was the enforcement arm of America's imperial will. He was the master of the dark deeds that empires require. When FDR pushed through the New Deal legislation to restrain the, I'm not sure if I agree with this assessment, but the rampant greed and speculation that he thought would bring the country to economic ruin.

40:24 John Foster Dulles simply gathered his corporate clients in the Wall Street office and urged them to defy the president. Do not comply, he told them. Resist the law with all your might, and soon everything will be okay. Later, when Dulles served the U.S. as the top spy in Europe during World War II, he blatantly ignored Roosevelt's policy of unconditional surrender and pursued his own strategy of negotiation.

40:54 of secret negotiations with Nazi leaders, which we've talked about at length for Operation Sunrise, where he met with the General Wolf of the Nazis. The staggering sacrifice made by the Russian people in the war against Hitler meant little to Dallas. He was more interested in salvaging the Third Reich's security apparatus and then turning it on the Soviet Union, which he had always regarded as America's true enemy.

41:22 After the war, Dulles helped a number of notorious war criminals escape via Nazi rat lines that ran from Germany down through Italy to Latin America, the Middle East, and even the United States. Eisenhower gave Dulles immense license to fight the administration's shadow war against communism. But at the end of his presidency,

41:48 Ike concluded that Dulles had robbed him of his place in history as a peacemaker and left him nothing but a legacy of ashes. Dulles undermined or betrayed every president he served. Clearly outmatched by the savvy spy master, talking about JFK, who talked JFK into the Bay of Pigs disaster, JFK proved to be a quick learner.

42:20 In the power game, he became the first and only president who dared to strip Alan Dulles of his official authority. But Dulles' forced retirement did not last long after Kennedy ejected him from the CIA in November of 1961. Instead of easing into his twilight years, Dulles continued to operate as if he was still the leading American spy chief, targeting the president as well.

42:53 Walking through the Georgetown evening with Willie Morris, he was perplexed to hear Dulles erupt at the mere mention of Kennedy's name. But there was a reason for that. Nearly two years after JFK's assassination, Kennedy still disturbed Dulles deeply. Okay, so.

43:28 The book goes on and talks a little bit about that conversation and where Morris had come from. And it says, Morris was the most touted magazine editor of his generation and on his way to becoming the youngest editor of Harper at 32. Under his leadership in the late 60s, Harper would glow with the vibrant writing of Norman Mailer, William Styron.

43:58 and David Haberstam. In the end, even Morris's expert hand, Dulles could not wrestle his manuscript into shape, and the old spook withdrew from his publication. By the time Dulles finally gave up, after months of toil, the article had gone through multiple drafts, adding up to several hundred copy-stained pages.

44:25 Drafts now stuffed into a box at Princeton Library where the Dulles papers are housed are a window into Alan Dulles' tortured relationship with JFK. In finally abandoning the project, one historian later said of the confessions of Alan Dulles that the old spymaster seemed to conclude that he was saying both too much and too little about Kennedy.

44:55 By writing the article, Dulles had set out to rebuke charges made by JFK loyalist Theodore Sorensen and author Schlesinger Jr. that Kennedy had been tricked by his intelligence advisors into the disastrous Cuban adventure. But instead, in the scribblings in between angry eruptions at JFK and his White House circle of doubting Thomases and Castro admirers, revealed

45:24 the ways that Dulles' CIA had intended to contrive to lure the young president into a trap. When the Bay of Pigs operation was underway and the chips were down, Dulles wrote, he was confident that JFK would be compelled to do the right thing and send the awesome power of the United States military to rescue the mission. That's the way the CIA game is played.

45:54 There is a certain amount of hoodwinking and massaging of White House anxieties, and then the president would fall in line. Kennedy said no to expanding an operation that he felt all along was the wrong thing to do. And the long reign of Allen Dulles came crashing down. The truth is that Dulles' reign actually went on, deeply cloaked toward an even more catastrophic.

46:25 Conclusion, Dulles seemed to be a very tragic man. He soon began meeting with a surprising array of CIA officers, men from the top rungs of the agency, as well as agents in the field. They paraded in and out of the Brick Manor located on Q Street. Q Street.

46:54 His day calendar was filled with yet more meetings at his favorite retreat, the Alibi Club and the Metropolitan Club, where he dined with the same generals and national security wise men with whom he had done business on a daily basis as if he was still in charge of the CIA. Dulles turned his Georgetown home into a center of anti-Kennedy government in exile.

47:23 As time went by, the Dulles Circle became even more disenfranchised with JFK's foreign policy, which they considered appeasement of the communist enemy. You can never have peace because if we have peace, they have no excuse to keep the war machine going. Peace is not allowed. Dulles grew bolder in his opposition.

47:50 He met with controversial Cuban exile named Paulino Sierra Martinez, a former henchman in the deposed close circle of Cuban dictator Batista. Sierra, whose anti-Castro activities were underwritten by the mafia and U.S. corporations with a stake of getting back into Cuba.

48:16 later fell under Secret Service suspicion in a conspiracy against JFK. The topic of Sierra's meeting with Dulles in April of 1963 remains a mystery. By October of 63, Dulles felt confident enough to speak out against JFK's foreign policy in public, ignoring etiquette. Dulles declared that Kennedy's presidency suffered from a yearning to be loved by the rest of the world.

48:45 He characterized this as a weakness. It was not a mark of global power, insisted Dulles. I should much prefer to have people respect us than love us. In the weeks leading up to JFK's assassination, the flurry of meetings at Dulles home intensified.

49:08 men coming in and out of Q Street were several who later came under investigation by the House Select Committee on assassinations and other probes into connection with the president's murder. And on the weekend of the assassination, Dulles hunkered down for an unexplained reason at a secret CIA facility in Northern Virginia, referred to as The Farm, despite the fact that he had been removed from the agency.

49:39 After Kennedy's assassination, Dulles was again pushed himself into the Washington spotlight, lobbying LBJ to appoint him to the Warren Commission. Dulles was so actively involved in the official investigation of Kennedy's murder that one observer remarked that it should have been called the Dulles Commission. That would have been a little awkward, maybe a little too obvious. He worked carefully behind the scenes with his former CIA colleagues to still steer

50:08 the inquiry away from the agency itself and towards the lone gunman scenario. How did a bitter political enemy of JFK wind up playing a lead role in the official investigation into his death? It was just one more mystery in a lifetime of enigmatic twists and turns. Just as puzzling is why the American press never troubled itself to ask the question. But of course we know because they're all owned.

50:38 by the CIA, or at least controlled by them. Many questions about JFK's violent end remains unspeakable. In the words of Kennedy biographer James Douglas, at least in the carefully controlled arena of media discourse, it is even more unthinkable in these circles to explore the suspicion of Alan Dulles himself, the towering pillar of the U.S. establishment.

51:08 that he might have had some role in the epic crime against U.S. democracy. The Allen Dulles story continues to haunt the country. Many of the practices that still provoke bouts of American soul-searching originated under Dulles' tenure, like mind-control experiments, torture, political assassination, extradition,

51:34 rendition, massive surveillance of U.S. citizens and foreign allies. These were all widely used tools of the Dulles reign. Dulles was capable of great personal cruelty to his intimates as well as his enemy. Quote, our faults did not often give us a sense of guilt, unquote, said Eleanor Dulles.

52:06 who also, as we have articulated in the past, worked for John Foster Dulles in the State Department, in the Intelligence and Research Department, which, if you understand how the State Department is set up, that's the belly button into the State Department for the CIA. So you literally had a threesome. John Foster, Eleanor, and Dulles.

52:35 in charge of all of our foreign policy, both overtly and covertly. But Dulles was not a rash man. He was cold calculating. As the chairman of the Cloak and Dagger America, he would never initiate a high stakes operation unless he felt that he had the support of the members of his board, meaning Wall Street men of influence and those that were important in Washington.

53:07 not necessarily the president. This is the history of secret power in America. There were plots led by generals to impose military rule. There were secret clubs of aristocrats who hired squads of assassins to kill popular leaders. Terror reigned during all of these convulsions and civil society was too intimidated to bring the assassins to justice. Democracy was,

53:44 cowled in the mine. The country's cheerleaders are wedded to the notion of America exceptionalism. The devil's chessboard seeks to shine a torch down the well of deep politics, as Peter Del Scott calls it. In researching the book, the author says, I came to know Joan Talley, one of the children of Alan Dulles. And Joan is...

54:16 quoted in this book often. She was trying to make sense of how she could have been so oblivious to this violent rush of history as a younger woman, even as it roared right through her own living room. And that sets the tone for David Talbot's The Devil's Chessboard. So we're gonna leave it there for today and we'll get...

54:45 started on chapter one tomorrow. What a great opening. Yeah. And, you know, that's why I think it's so important to go back through these books because, you know, there's an entire cadre of people that all are on the, you know, Israel did the entire JFK assassination, which is ludicrous.

55:15 And then, you know, you have other people that say, oh, it was all the Cuban exiles because they were pissed off at him for the Bay of Pigs, which again is not possible because all of the coordination and all of the different scenarios that were like triple and quadruple in depth all happened, you know,

55:42 in a matter of a few minutes and had to be expertly laid out to include the exfiltration of these operatives. And again, that's not something that you do without local authorities, state authorities, and all of these other echelons. And I just found it fascinating, although I've read that before, that Alan Dulles was at the farm in a command post,

56:12 While it was going on. There's that. They had built that command post. Just for Alan Dulles. That's actually on record. Yeah. Even though he doesn't work for the CIA. He was running a backdoor CIA. Yes. The entire time. He never left. Go ahead. He was beating up the phones that entire weekend. He was working 24-7 for that weekend only. Yeah. But that's.

56:51 That's not unprecedented because when Jimmy Carter decided not to continue George H.W. Bush, they just set up the Safari Club in Kenya and carried on business. So it's not unprecedented. Yeah, well, that's why I keep asking these questions. Everyone's all celebrating the fact that USAID disappeared. And no, it didn't disappear. Most of their stuff got folded into the State Department.

57:25 Let's see that audit until you tell me USAID spending is gone. Because the track record's there. They just fold it into something else or come at it from a new direction. Yeah, one of the things, the recent announcement of sending quote-unquote aid, which I don't want any of my money sent out of my country. I'm sorry, I don't. I don't give a shit. But sending it directly to the country would definitely...

57:54 eliminate the money laundering through the NGOs, which I guess is a small step in the right direction. But again, as an American, you don't have any constitutional authority to be sending my taxes over to a foreign country. You just don't. You mean it's not one of the 18 enumerated powers in Article 1, Section 8? I've read that a few times, and I didn't see foreign aid in there anywhere.

58:22 I'm still looking. I'll let you know when I find it. Okay. Miss Lou, go ahead. A fascinating colonel. Oh, my God. I love to check in. I wish I could do it daily because I miss so much, but that was amazing. Do you think that in light of our recent thread that was quite extensive with receipts that Lauren Loomer did on John Brennan, do you think it's the same MO of someone who's left the CIA but is still very much in there?

58:51 So there's no such thing as ever leaving the CIA. The only way you leave actually the CIA is because you die or you're in jail. Because they are constantly on, I mean, they're like we are. I mean, I still have my commission. I can be recalled to active duty at any time at the discretion of the government. And CIA, because of their...

59:19 agreement and their arrangements that they have can be called on in the form of a contractor or as bringing them back into the official payroll of this CIA to continue. Most of them never lose their clearance. So you don't leave the CIA. That's kind of a misnomer. And there are some

59:47 in the CIA that are much more active after they supposedly left the CIA than others are. John Brennan is certainly one of them. Yeah, that's right. Apparently, he's still vetting people going in and out of there. That's what her contention was. I don't know if that's true, but her contention was that he's still very much involved in the vetting process. Yeah, see, I don't buy that. I mean, she says a lot of sensational things. That's true. That's true.

1:00:18 I believe, and you have to understand that all of the, is he trying to promote people and using unofficial networks to get people that he's approved into the building? That's probably very legitimate. But to say that he's vetting people makes it seem like.

1:00:45 Ratcliffe has called him on the phone and is asking his opinion about people. No, I think she meant what you just said before that. I think I said it wrong. It may be my bad interpretation. He could personally be pushing people into the CIA to embed his own players in there, but they have a fairly extensive personnel background that would be

1:01:15 fairly hard, not impossible, but fairly hard to be able to do that to any large extent. Colonel, let me piggyback on that because their personnel in recruiting go back 10, 20 years. They've got stay-behinds all over the place. We saw that in Trump 1.0 with people like he who shall not be named Eric Charmello. Yeah, that's National Security Council's all made up of people that

1:01:44 You know, for spent more than a decade working underneath the Victoria Newlands, the John Brennans, you know, everything like that. So they don't need to bring in new people. They've got the people in place already. Yeah. It's interesting from the perspective of the different echelons in the CIA.

1:02:12 I would not relish the job, which is why I think the whole thing should be closed down. But I wouldn't relish the job of going in because I've came into some organizations that are fairly dysfunctional, like really dysfunctional. And your entire top echelon of people are not good.

1:02:33 They're not there to do the job that was intended for them to do. And the process of cleaning house is very slow, especially in government organizations. But that has to be, of all of the jobs and all of the people that have things to do, that would be the hardest job there is to do, is to go in there.

1:03:01 and be viewed by the senior staff as hostile because that senior staff was put in place by the bureaucracy of the people that mirror Allen Dulles' contempt for the American people and their admiration and being on the beck and call of these oligarchs. And so...

1:03:26 That to me is like just a crazy situation to be in, especially when these people are trained to kill you. In this point in time, Carla, don't we assume they've got some cells operating around the world that are so off the books that you could shut the entire thing down and they're so well self-funded to continue to operate? So, yes, you know, that's kind of the whole.

1:03:50 concept of Gladio, right? Is to have these detached operational cells. The thing that I view that the frustration everybody has is the speed at which this is going. But I also envision understanding the amount that I understand covert operations. There has to be communications

1:04:19 on some level over some system eventually. And I think that from 2017 to current, that there has been provocations that we would look at as what's happening in Venezuela and the large, the security of the border.

1:04:45 This generates second, third, and fourth order of effects in these networks because they have to scramble around and come up with alternative funding, alternative trafficking patterns. And so every time you do something that to Americans was like, what the hell are we doing that for? Because you want Fauci arrested.

1:05:13 It is mapping these networks that are buried deep into these areas around the world as war hamster. You can't do that overnight. And they have the ability, they're like bedbugs. I don't know if you guys know this about bedbugs. I didn't know. You can't go in and just spray bedbugs because they bore into drywall in a house and they hide out there until the poison is gone and they come out and you never get rid of them.

1:05:42 You actually have to go in and spray the drywall with a special material in order to, as they're going into the drywall, they get the poison and they die in the hole. So I bought one of the houses we had that we were renovating that had bed bugs in it. And thankfully, one of the people that were leaving the house.

1:06:08 Mention that to us. And it's a whole ordeal. And that's what these cells do. They are buried as civilians in among us. And there is communication, but it's in various different ways. And so it's not going to be an easy process. And are there a chance that we're not going to get?

1:06:31 All of them, yes. But are we going to get enough of them that the rest of them have no ability to be activated and sourced and continued training and all that other stuff? That's what our prayers are. Well, speaking of bedbugs, and since I forgot who brought up our friend John Brennan, a lot of news came out over the holiday weekend I haven't seen talked about enough.

1:06:59 We hear it all the time. You know, we want to see perp walks. We want to see arrests and everything like that. And we also see judges and district judges in D.C. dismiss every case. Well, we actually do have a real grand jury that could be convening in January in Florida. And Brennan's lawyers are very high-priced lawyers. And if you look at some of the lawyers he's hired and some of the people they've represented, you know exactly who these guys are. They were thrown into conniptions.

1:07:26 Trying to get all that stuff thrown out so it doesn't get to the grand jury. And our favorite Florida judge just happens to be overseeing it. And what is it, Judge Eileen? Somebody help me out with their name. Yeah, Hannah, thank you very much. Cannon. Cannon. Yeah, she was fantastic last couple of years, especially with Smith, special prosecutor. I think Brennan is going to become sacrificial lamb.

1:07:53 Big time. He is roasted. And I've been following Svetlana Lakova, who's the gal. She's the British historian who was framed for having an affair with General Flynn, which we all know didn't happen. She's probably the only person I follow more closely on Twitter than the Colonel. But, oh my goodness. If you follow her, she is a must-watch during this. She's just throwing receipts every single day. I think Brennan's a dead man walking.

1:08:24 Yeah, I agree. One can hope. Yeah. All right. Go ahead, Stellar. I was going to ask because, you know, because it is so deep. And like you said.

1:08:41 I've got a new name for the international syndicate and their puppets. Now they're going to be called bedbugs. I was telling them parasites, but bedbugs seems to be more appropriate. But in that case, now that they're implementing the blockchain and all of that other stuff, won't it be a lot easier to track down?

1:09:01 the money, the hidden wallets, you know, and as they're going after some of the, like in Venezuela or, you know, it sounds like Cuba, maybe Colombia, you know, as they're hitting these, you know, crown thingies and even like what's going on with Canada.

1:09:19 With all of that being said, wouldn't you say that it's going to be a lot easier or they've tracked it down because of the blockchain and these wallets and stuff? So that's actually a very interesting question. I think that the CIA's had this capability through things like the Promise software for a very long time. They're not in control of that software now.

1:09:46 People that are in control of that in finding the sources of money laundering, I believe, have been very, very busy at doing exactly that with the existing capabilities. Because we know the whole reason that they wanted the Promise software is its ability to do all of those types of things and hide their own.

1:10:12 Yes, is the answer to your question. But I think a lot of that has already been going on under the Trump administration. So go ahead.

1:10:27 Yeah, I was just going to say, because supposedly Maduro had over $60 billion worth of like Bitcoin and other things as well. And so that's why I was just bringing that up. And I know it seemed like with Doge, you know, everybody was like impressed and how quickly they were able to find things. Well, they started accepting, you know, crypto and again, how it's all set up, it's being deposited in and just kind of see all the different things coming here, there and everywhere. So that's why I was just wondering. I just thought it'd be easier to track and faster to get rid of it and seize it. And Switzerland apparently turned.

1:10:57 off Maduro's private stuff. Well, they froze his assets, right? Yeah. That's what I meant by turning it off. Yeah. Tim, go ahead. Hey, thanks, Colonel. What's Gladio's role in the comics and the silver crisis that's going on right now? I don't think they're... Gladio is just really the covert paramilitary piece of this.

1:11:29 There is a front on the economic, political, and military of which Gladio falls into. So the financial, the economic piece of warfare has always benefited the international syndicate while keeping us impoverished.

1:11:58 I don't know. Warhamster, you want to talk about briefly the difference between the paper silver and physical silver? Yeah, on a really high level. You know, we first noticed this in 2008 and 2009 with paper gold. And when you have the total notional value.

1:12:17 paper gold is higher than the market value of every ounce of gold that's ever been mined, you realize there's a disconnect called rehypothecation, meaning somebody is lending out gold or giving people certificates of gold that they don't have. We have the exact same thing going on with silver right now, although it's a wee bit harder to track because of all the commercial uses of silver. The fact that it's a little bit more common and widespread. But at the end of the day, it's...

1:12:45 You can't have a higher notional value of something that says you own something than you have the actual thing itself. This is the oldest reason for bank scams in history. The gold changers in the Middle Ages were doing this, and that's what causes bank runs. What we're seeing right now on a global scale is the potential for a global silver run. Potential. We're not there yet, but it's certainly something to be talking about.

1:13:16 I understand that. I think silver sold like 400% to one ounce. There's 400 pieces of paper for one ounce of gold. But the current development, and of course, I'm getting all this off the internet, so you know it's true. Abraham Lincoln said that. There was somebody showed up at the repo desk of the Fed.

1:13:43 On December 31st, and they haven't named the bank yet, and they got $115 billion. And they were involved in, that bank was highly involved in the ComEx silver business, and I don't understand it. But then, the first January, China stopped all silver export from China. 100%. China.

1:14:14 I don't remember the ratio, but they're a substantial silver producer. And the day before, this would be like December 30th, silver removed, and don't hold me to the exact numbers, but something like 220 tons of silver from some vault or reserve in Shanghai and took it back to China. Now, the Internet gets even more deep when they say that.

1:14:42 The day of the attack, not the night of Trump moving in, but during that day, four cargo planes landed in Venezuela and left. They were from China. They left with silver. Apparently, Venezuela had some type of silver reserve that was unknown. Venezuela has, I think, 18%. They provide 18% of the global silver production.

1:15:11 And the very same day, the Chinese are landing in one place for those massive Russian cargo planes. It is the biggest I've ever seen. They landed in Venezuela and left. And again, the amount, I can't remember the number, but it was hundreds of tons. So it's like Russia and China are not going to export any silver anymore.

1:15:39 And they went and grabbed all the silver that they could get in the last week. And what's got me scared, I'm in the commercial building, and I remember 2008. And the first bank to show up at the repo window was Lehman Brothers. And they started their first, the first round, that's when they were calling banker bailouts. But later they called it quantitative easing.

1:16:07 But the first round of banker bailouts in 2008 was Lehman Brothers for $18 billion. And we all know how 2008 played out. But the first round of bank bailout for the comics problem is $115 billion. And I was just hoping for insight because I'm trying to rationalize Venezuela. And I think the best explanation I got is whatever reason you think is going on in Venezuela,

1:16:37 That's it. And there's 100 other ones too. So according to the CIA produces this economic, the world fact book on everything about a country. It's like an overview. They don't produce silver. It's not saying that they don't have it because we know they have gold, but the gold's never been mined. So if they had silver in Venezuela.

1:17:04 It was at their treasury department or the corresponding, you know, because they don't work under the World Bank scenario or anything like that. So if they had it there, it was a resource that they had as a country. It is not something that they mine. Don't China and Russia have some kind of economic inroads like let money Venezuela?

1:17:31 infrastructure or something like that were they trying to get in there and do business so anybody any foreign country um they were so that's kind of a misnomer yes there was activity from china and russia but that's only because that the u.s and every u.s um controlled um country was forbidden to do any business with

1:17:57 Venezuela, because the US sanctioned them. And the US would tell every single country that if you do business with Venezuela, we're going to cut off your aid. Well, that tells you that the only people that are going to do business with Venezuela is people who don't depend on US aid. And that happens to be China and Russia and Iran.

1:18:19 That's a great point. That is a great point. Yeah, Turkey actually was doing business because they don't give a shit anymore. And Turkey was providing them with a lot of food. And nobody wants to talk about that because, of course, they're in NATO. And they don't want to know that NATO's broken. So you never hear that printed. But Turkey was doing big business with Venezuela. So one thing to add to the question earlier is looking for insight.

1:18:47 I spent a little bit of time on this over the weekend. If you look at the historical, the bullion banks, those who trade at the London exchanges and a couple of their Hong Kong, I think Singapore satellites, stuff like that, you would see stress showing up in the credit. If you go back to Lehman, we saw the stress in the credit default swaps a week before. Even the high-yield bond market saw it. And there is no real movement in the credit default swaps market right now. There just isn't.

1:19:16 It looks very tame. So I don't see a specific target. Say, I got to short this bank. They're going to be short on their silver or anything like that. But I absolutely understand why people are paying attention to it. You just don't see it in the markets that the average public doesn't get to see. It's just not there yet. Okay. Thank you for that, Warhamster. Ms. Liu, go ahead. Oh, I'm sorry. Phone in my pocket. I'm struggling.

1:19:48 What I wanted to ask you was regarding Maduro, and I wanted your take on this. Is there anybody else in the room? You know, he was indicted, obviously, we all know, originally in the Southern District of New York in 2020, I believe it was, and is returned there. And we have a 92-year-old Clinton judge, not very favorable of Trump, trying to take this case. Considering that Maduro was not a legitimate leader,

1:20:14 He was about as much as legitimate as Biden. According to the U.S. government. According to the U.S. government, yes, of course. Facts matter. What I want to say is, is there any way to try him out, like in a Department of Defense or something, since he's essentially nothing, huh? No. No. He was indicted on criminal charges, not like a war crime or anything like that.

1:20:44 So there's no way to up his game, huh? No. Okay, well, I guess we just have to ride this one. Yeah, I'm not sure he's not here for information. This is going to play out very interestingly. I'm, for one, glad that I'm alive and living during this time. There's a lot of speculation about...

1:21:12 the stuff that was going on. The one thing that I keep pointing out to people is if you read the indictment, which I did, I found it very interesting that if you guys understand, and we've talked about this, when we did our series on Columbia, in Columbia, you had the primary government sanctioned.

1:21:37 narco-trafficking. You have the narco elite. We talked at Nauseam about this. You have the Cali cartel, which never makes the news because it's basically state-sponsored. And to a certain extent, the Medellin cartel, now that they got rid of Pablo Escobar, is primarily state-sponsored as well. But there is competition between the two. And so what's interesting to me

1:22:05 is you have the only resistance that has maintained some viability to this narco state called the FARC. The FARC were basically what the CIA would label as guerrillas. They are the people that are pushing back against the government.

1:22:27 they do it in the only way that they can. And for a long time, they weren't drug dealers. They were taxing people that came through the territory they controlled in the drug trade. We talked about the fact that the Colombian government had staged different

1:22:47 false flags and would stage, they'd kill a FARC soldier and steal their, you know, distinctive looking garb and plant it in a lab that was being ran by the Cali cartel to say, oh, this is a FARC establishment. So we need more money. Let's do the plan, Columbia plan, and give me hundreds of millions of dollars to fight these awful FARC people. But at the end of the day,

1:23:16 even if you believe the government's own figures, which I don't, the FARC is a drop in the bucket of cocaine production. And again, that's believing their numbers. After they set them up and have to stage events in order to say they're even doing it, I'm very skeptical. We'll just leave it at that. But let's accept their numbers. Their numbers are very, very small. I find it very interesting that

1:23:46 The indictment alleges that they were dealing drugs with the FARC. Again, that's like 15% of all narcotic cocaine traffic out of the country of Colombia. And, you know, there are people and there's evidence that says that the Colombian government is

1:24:14 expediting the extradition of people and that there's some stuff going on behind the scenes. But that's the piece that I find most interesting is that the covert nature to the extent that the government's involved, obviously some of the military has to be in on it.

1:24:38 Some of the politicians in the areas on the border of Colombia that are occupied by the FARC has to be in on it. There's some level of involvement of the Colombian state. But everything that I've delved into, to include the arrest of the two nephews of Maduro, has a lot of very interesting, strange things happening.

1:25:07 all of the witnesses get killed. And it was the DEA that set up the drug deal. So again, I just find, I know what to look for. And I question everything, but the indictment cracked me up that they've charged him with two counts of basically owning or possession of.

1:25:34 machine guns when you're a sitting leader I mean you have tanks you have missiles you have all kinds of shit but we're going to concentrate on the machine guns and I don't know that it's illegal for a foreign head of state to own a machine gun in a foreign country I'm going to say it's not constitutional

1:25:57 to have that law on the books of the United States. So I'm not sure how exactly you charge a foreign leader with it. But anyway, to me, the indictment was almost comical in its construction of not addressing the actual other 85% of the cocaine coming in, but we're gonna concentrate on this. And I understand the convenience of, excuse me.

1:26:27 of Venezuela and the ongoing other issues surrounding Venezuela. But if we're going to talk about oppressed populations, there's quite a few of them in South America, in addition to Venezuela. Why are you so mad? Go ahead. Yeah, I just wanted to say that Maduro would be an excellent witness if it wasn't for the fact that he is such a criminal.

1:26:58 And I bet you he feels so much safer being in the United States. That's all I'm going to say. Tim, go ahead. Okay. Quick question. I'm seeing Trump true social stuff. I think I saw an interview or comment by Sidney Powell. And I remember because I'm down here in Georgia and I always follow the 22 elections close. But Sidney Powell claimed that.

1:27:33 The Smartmatic voting machine software was developed in Venezuela, and it was designed to rig elections. And the CIA had co-opted with Smartmatic. And the Smartmatic, basically, the 2020 election was rigged out of Venezuela, and the CIA was part of it. So what happens?

1:28:05 Moderna turns evidence to election fraud and implicates the CIA in it. If any of that was true, that would be a very interesting twist. But if you actually do the research into Smartmatic, the...

1:28:26 And we're talking about this. We're going to be doing the book that all of this is based on to include the material that Sidney Powell is talking about on Badlands Media, on the book club with CanCon and Ash. We started, well, they started before last week. Last Tuesday at six o'clock, they were like four chapters in and had invited me. So we're going to this tomorrow night at six o'clock.

1:28:56 We're going to go over the first four chapters to investigate the investigators. This CIA guy that is behind all of these accusations, first of all, anytime you have a CIA guy that has not been killed or imprisoned that supposedly wrote a book about the CIA being involved with election interference, the hair on the back of your neck needs to stand up.

1:29:24 You are being told a story. You're not being told the story. So we are going to look into what part of their story is true and which part of their story is likely not true based on other cooperating research. So having said that, I'll just give you the Reader's Digest version. They want you to believe that

1:29:51 a company that was set up in Delaware and ran out of Miami by people that were affiliated, descendants of, children of the elite in Venezuela before Chavez come to power, left the country and went to Miami as expats and set up Smartmatic there. They incorporated it in the Miami area. They want you to believe that that company

1:30:20 being ran in Miami was from Venezuela as in their government, not just the expat community that's relocated to Miami. That's number one. Number two, they want you to believe that the entire time Smartmatic has existed and been working, supplying election machines at that same time.

1:30:50 the CIA was trying repeatedly to overthrow Venezuela. So I don't know how you marry those two things up in your head. If the CIA is trying to overthrow the government of Venezuela, while at the same time, the CIA is putting the government in Venezuela in charge due to fake elections, I would think at some point, some smart person would go, what the hell?

1:31:20 That doesn't make any sense. But apparently nobody thinks like that. OK, I hear you. But just to bring the again, 2020 elections, Georgia, I'm following it close. You had a lot of paper issues. You had a lot of accountability issues that had nothing to do with machines. Well, hear me out. Fulton County, this was last week, admitted that they're those.

1:31:49 Again, Biden won by 11,000 votes in Georgia. Those 300,000 were fouled and they weren't certified. Yes. And everything that Sidney Powell said about that at the time, they said the same thing you're saying about the situation now. No, no, they're not. The people in Georgia said that they had the ability to certify those.

1:32:19 And hid the evidence on the lack of chain of custody and all of that other stuff. Again, nothing to do with the actual machines. They certified an election that was not certifiable. And understand how these operations work. So if I want to discredit Sidney Powell and all of her allegations, which is exactly what they did. And then they basically put her on trial to defend her law license. You have to feed misinformation.

1:32:49 and you had a certain somebody writing false affidavits with lies in them to jeopardize the court cases, you had all types of sabotage that was being levied against Sidney Powell because Sidney Powell had some very credible evidence to include the situation that you just outlined. But if I concede her credible allegations with...

1:33:18 not credible information, I discredit Sidney Powell totally. So there's information, the same thing happened with Mike Lindell. There's information that is being ran into these election groups that...

1:33:36 that have credible information that must be dealt with, but they're running in not credible information to sabotage their credible information. So you can isolate the manual, paper, uncertifiable type chain of custody things.

1:34:04 And if you isolate the election fraud to those things absent the machines, every single thing that's been presented is absolutely factual in nature and provable that our 2020 election was stolen. The minute they start running an operation that is based on a foundation of things provably not true, on the machine piece of it,

1:34:31 That sabotages the overall effort. So we're going to dissect all of the pieces of the allegation of the machine piece of it, because that's what the book concentrates on, and try to weed out at the end of the book what things in the book are true and what things aren't about the machine piece of it. Does that make sense?

1:34:58 Yes, it does. But there's no coincidences in this business. And all this news about Fulton County and the election stuff and Trump's true social post was last week, too. And they're primarily focusing on the non-system piece of it. The 300,000 ballots, those are all non-system things that Trump is focusing on.

1:35:30 What I feel in my bones is this operation that was rolled out right ahead with the release of this book, right ahead of the credible election interference is being done to muddy the credible information with not credible information. But we'll see. Stellar, go ahead.

1:35:56 So when you're talking about the non-credible, are you talking about the mail-in ballots? No, I'm talking strictly about the machines. Are the machines used to control elections? Absolutely. Are the machines controlled by Venezuela? It is my opinion, based on my research, that that's the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard of. I believe, and...

1:36:26 History validates this belief that the CIA, who is overly present in the Miami area with disgruntled ex-Venezuelan people tied to very wealthy people in Venezuela that wanted Chavez out of office, would in fact develop with Venezuelans, because they hate Venezuela anyway, almost as much as they hate Cuba.

1:36:56 Would they co-opt these people into setting up this system in order to control foreign elections as well as our own under the CIA by using a cutout like Smartmatic? Yes. I mean, they've done worse. And the beauty of using expats from Venezuela is you always have the ability to blame Venezuela.

1:37:25 Because they're directly tied because they used to live in Venezuela. So that's more my line of thinking that smartmatics definitely interfere in elections and can be manipulated. That's been proven. But the contention that those elections are being controlled by Cuba.

1:37:52 And Venezuela, because then they make the argument that not only is Venezuela behind all of the election interference with these machines, that they're basically a tentacle of this Cuban government. And that feeds right into the whole anti-Cuban.

1:38:14 fervor that goes on in the Miami area. So I can take out two birds with one stone if I'm a CIA guy. I can say that the Smartmatic machines are under the control of Venezuela, who is under the control of Cuba, and I've dirtied up two of my worst enemies. Carl, can I jump in on this one? Sure. Because we have a standing bet on Venezuela. Yeah. And this is one of the issues where we didn't see 100% eye to eye. Yeah. You've made a really good case about the Smartmatic

1:38:43 ownership uh chain and i've gone pretty far deep down that uh just agreeing with you you will probably find if we ever rip the entire band-aid off some venezuelan or cuban connection but it's going to trace back to the ccp and um to me to me that's the direction i'd be going and i think there's a lot of validity to the serbian server uh system that that's where the electronic interference came through but our election wasn't stolen just through electronics

1:39:13 No, that's the point I was making. Exactly. We're in agreement on this. It is voter rolls first, last and always. Without that, none of the cheating is available. I live in a county in San Diego where we, you know, in a good county in America, you get about 70 percent of the eligible voters registered. That's a good county. We had 108 percent of eligible voters registered, which is about double the rate it should be. And that's all over the country. Yes.

1:39:40 So that's where we start with. Without that, it doesn't matter what the machine does. Right. They have to have the fake names. Now, does that tie back into some of the illegal aliens, you know, all the illegals and stuff like that? Yeah, absolutely it does. The human trafficking, that is absolutely done, you know, ties into Minnesota. You know, come here, register eight of your relatives who don't even exist to vote, and we're going to make sure you get predicated. That all ties together. Yes.

1:40:09 But Venezuela and Cuba are downstream from the masterminds of that. And all of that's being done by Americans, not foreigners. And I think they're doing it in conjunction with the whole globalist cabal, which to me, the CCT is lending an awful lot of support to. Yeah, I want the Americans to go to jail. That's ruined our country.

1:40:32 Once you get the Americans in jail that's ruined our country, there's not going to be anyone for the foreigners to deal with in America because the corrupt ones are going to be in jail. And I'm beyond whatever my tolerance level of trying to deflect with all of this bullshit.

1:41:00 of all of these people outside of the United States, when the responsibility, you can't come here as a non-English speaking Somalian and steal billions of dollars from American taxpayers without Americans helping you, setting you up. That's exactly what I said on a semi-viral tweet I put out early on.

1:41:27 Don't focus on the Somalia or the Minnesota aspect. This is not Somalian fraud. It's not Minnesota fraud. This is government fraud, and it is enabled by people who benefit from it. Focus on where does this whole fraud start, and that's in Washington, D.C. Yes. Yes. All right, Tim, go ahead. Okay, I think control is too broad a brush. All right, so if you put a magnet on a roulette table,

1:41:57 and you spend it a hundred times, you'll see the influence of the magnet and it's not much, but it's enough in the long game. It'll pay dividends. So I hear your argument that these, uh, smartmatic engineers were from here, but they had family in Venezuela and they settled in Miami. But I'm not saying Venezuela controls the U S elections. It is with a master switch, but it's very,

1:42:26 possible that they had influence that could be sold because it was based, those engineers I believe were based out of Venezuela. The engineers were living in Florida. Were they from Venezuela? They were born in Venezuela. They were born into very elite families that made their money off of the corrupt Venezuela before

1:42:53 Chavez come to power. Not that Chavez is not corrupt. Make whatever argument you want. They were disgruntled elite people that were living off of the CIA propped up government in Venezuela. So when Chavez was elected in 1998, many of those disgruntled elites sent their kids to the United States and most of them went to Miami. Those three semi-kids at the time,

1:43:22 are the ones that registered Smartmatic in Delaware and ran it out of Miami. That is accurate. Not only that, but how many Venezuelan tech startups have you heard about? None. This is the first one. And you know how easy that would be if you had CIA helping you do it? Yeah. So, again, I'm just going to present the information.

1:43:53 on their show and you guys can make up your own mind. I've made up my mind and you guys are free to believe whatever you want. But I've never in the 90 coups that I've looked at, 90 plus coups that I've looked at, I've never come across a single one that the CIA was in bed with the government that they are trying to overthrow. Not a single one.

1:44:22 And that's what they want you to believe. They want you to believe because they make the argument that there's a good CIA and a bad CIA. And the bad CIA is in bed with the Venezuelan government. And the good CIA is trying to stop that. And that on its surface is bullshit. So anyway, why are you so mad? Go ahead. Well, okay.

1:44:51 Yeah, I'm going to put my neck out on the line and say, you know, the expats from Venezuela were seriously butthurt because Chavez tried to nationalize the oil and took all their money away and made them like everybody else, which is just oh so horrible for the elites. And they they pretty much.

1:45:14 Like you had already said, Colonel, nothing better than killing two birds with one stone. Let the CIA dirty up Venezuelan government and dirty up the Cuban government and get everybody focused on hating them when the real problem is right here on our own land. I got to see my dead mother-in-law actually vote in 2020, which was actually quite entertaining. I've never seen so many dead people vote in my life.

1:45:45 And that's not done by foreigners. Like you said, that is done by Americans put in a position to sit there and totally sell the rest of their American citizens, people that they were supposed to represent down the down the toilet. So let's yeah, let's put them in jail. Let's make an example out of them. Make sure that everybody else knows that you can't do that anymore. And I would I.

1:46:12 I am so happy to be alive right now for the possibility to actually see that. Yeah. And let me just clarify one thing you said, because this is also a misnomer out there. Venezuela's oil had already been nationalized technically by the time Chavez came into office. So they had concessions.

1:46:42 contracts that didn't allow because they were set to expire at different times that didn't allow them to get the percentage that the government prior to Chavez wanted negotiated and it was during the expiration of those concessions that all of the brouhaha happened because Chavez wasn't going to allow them to keep the current

1:47:12 concession rates that they had when all around the world um and and they changed the constitution even um even before chavez came to um was elected um to say right to say that the um venezuelan government had to own like 51 of the um oil entities um revenue or whatever so there was a lot

1:47:37 He gets all of the blame for having, like he took over the oil industry, and that is not the case. Krola, do you want me to dive into that a little bit with the ICSID stuff and how the international treaties work with that? No.

1:47:57 We've done it before, so I don't have to do it now. You did post that thing, and if anybody wants to understand what he's talking about, he just posted, and I reposted it, the explanation of that apparatus that settles these types of arguments. You just need to know that they're never settled in the...

1:48:18 anti-imperialist favor. They're always settled by the oligarchs' favor. But it is an excellent thing, and I'll repost it as soon as we're done. I just, I'm going to have to leave here in a few minutes. Ms. Liu, go ahead. Oh, thanks, Colonel. I was just going to, and you got to go, but I was just saying that Tina Peters is in jail, of course, because she had the proof.

1:48:39 and I think still has somewhere, that the machines were manipulated. They had the keys that Jenna Griswold had actually given the codes out for the keys to the machines, which isn't foreign. That isn't foreign intervention. That's good old Colorado bad politics. You know, she's a Soros buddy. And so, yeah. So there's an example of manipulated machines, but by internally.

1:49:09 I don't know. I just, it's so, the web, it was such a night of 9,000 cuts and so many different people involved. I mean, you can, you know, from internally, which it has to happen, but you know me, I'm with you. I always, I always, can you, my line to everything is, can you spell CIA? Yeah. And, you know, but you make a good point about it wasn't, and that's why I want the Americans to go to jail.

1:49:37 It wasn't one state. It was multiple states and they were colluding together to do what they did. And that has to be Americans. That was Americans doing the colluding. So I want them all in jail. And after we get them all in jail and we have all of their trials, we can find out what the foreign manipulation was because it's going to come up in the trials.

1:50:06 But I want the Americans tried first. I agree. And that's going to have discovery like unbelievable. Yes. Yes. Yeah. And if there's emails and shit like that going back to the Venezuelan government and the Cuban government, I'm all for it. But that's not where I want this to start. I want it to start. And I think they're interjecting.

1:50:30 bullshit into the valid arguments of holding Americans accountable by shifting the reflection on foreigners. And only people in the CIA does that kind of shit to cover up their shit. So anyway, not only them, but primarily them. Well, we know the CIA led the entire attempt to overthrow the 2016 election. Yes.

1:50:56 That's just a fact that's coming out. And the FBI gets to tag along, but they didn't know what they were doing to start with. This came from the CIA. And the CIA was involved with Eric Taramella to do the whole Ukraine impeachment. They tried to soft coup Trump four times. And the CIA was involved in every single one of them. Yeah, and Ukrainians were involved in 2016. They were there on day six. And by the way, got to say it.

1:51:24 Happy Patriot's Day tomorrow, everybody. Five-year anniversary. January 6th was Patriot's Day. Yes. Yes, absolutely. Hey, Colonel, really quick. Sometime will you cover the good CIA and the bad CIA being able to coexist? Yeah. I want to know how that happens. I can do it right now. It doesn't exist. Okay. Yeah. Gotcha. All right.

1:51:53 So tune in tomorrow at four and then we will have the show with Badlands at six o'clock. So maybe I'll be able to raid into their show if we can stay on until six o'clock. But I don't even know how to do that. I'm just told that that's something new with Rumble that in order for us to keep our premium account that we have to be able to do. So maybe I'll try to figure out how to do that between now and then. Anyway.

1:52:21 You guys take care. I'll see you back here tomorrow at four. And then again at six. See ya.
