0:00 Okay. Welcome, everybody. I don't see Bridget yet. So SR71, just let me know when she gets in. And we're going to go ahead and get started because tonight will be a short session because it's Wednesday night. Everybody knows by now it's family dinner night. So we're going to go ahead and get started so we can get the material covered.

0:32 spend about 30 minutes on questions and answers. If you guys remember, we're doing our new book, Drugs, Oil, and War. Peter Del Scott kind of does a great job in this book of showing how the Operation Gladio Regime Change Operation works in concert with the International Syndicate in trying to procure

1:02 The resources, one of the main ones, obviously, is oil. So it kind of just is unique from other books that we've done in that it shows the full spectrum. It doesn't just concentrate on the resource part of it, the International Syndicate, nor does it just focus on the paramilitary Gladio operations, because we've done books that basically did both of those things. So part two.

1:31 We're going to start with the section called the darker side of covert assets. And he basically is talking about a influencer by name of Farhad Azima, who was a contributor to both political parties and.

2:01 He owned an airline called Global International Airways, and it became involved in the 1980s in U.S. arms trafficking to Afghanistan. It was also part of a complex of CIA-linked contract cargo airlines that included ones that we know a lot about, like Air America, Southern Air Transport.

2:31 And both of those, obviously, Air America was primary in Vietnam, Southern Air Transport. We read about in the Iran-Contra, also in Colombia, ferreting drugs out of there and into the United States. There's Bridget. Excuse me. Okay. And also, Azima, A-Z-I-M-A, owned a...

3:01 Aviation company called Race, R-A-C-E, Aviation, flying U.S. arms into Iran. You know, the one we like to call the boogeyman today. We were perpetually arming Iran. So it's kind of odd now for them to say that they're the big bad boogeyman. Azima founded Global International in 1978 with money borrowed.

3:31 from an Arabian international bank. Global International quickly became one of the nation's largest charter airlines. And I did look, but this quote-unquote Arabian international bank, what I could find in references looks a lot like BCCI, and BCCI was set up in 1972. So chances are it was BCCI.

4:01 An FBI agent told author Pete Bruton that some global flights had munitions and arms going out and narcotics coming back in, which of course is exactly what was happening in Vietnam, Afghanistan, everywhere. Azima also had a contract for global to fly junkets for high rollers to the Dunes Hotel and casinos in Las Vegas. Also,

4:33 Azima allegedly sponsored a loan to the Dunes from a mob-controlled Indian Springs State Bank in Kansas City, where Azima himself had loans. This apparent digression into trails leading from covert operations to political influence and ultimately to drug airlines and mob-controlled banks.

4:59 is the story that I first explored in a book called The War Conspiracy. And again, in cocaine politics. The CIA involvement in drug airlines shocked even an aide working for Oliver North. This story is not one that I fully understood, but essentially the same lobbies and their associates

5:30 with oil prominent in the overt level and the mob and drug links at a deeper covert level, oftentimes play reoccurring roles in this story. For example, there is a striking continuity between the activities of Paul Helliwell of the OSS, then the CIA, and eventual CIA officer who was counsel.

5:59 to Meyer Lansky's bank, who arranged for Civil Air Transport, later Air America, to become a CIA proprietary airline, and the secession of later banks with the CIA, drug, and mob connections. Castle Bank of the Bahamas, which we've read about often in these stories, was created by Paul Helliwell, and World Finance Corporation, the new hand bank,

6:26 and most notoriously, BCCI. The unscrupulous individuals and groups can make fortunes through supplying covert operations. Richard Secord of Iran Contra fame, also a Nugent Hand client, first made millions with Farhad Azima and Global International delivering arms to Egypt through Secord's company, Eatsco.

6:56 And we've read about that as well. ISCO is spelled E-A-T-S-C-O. And that was after they had overthrown the government of Egypt. Secord made more money by negotiating Iran-Contra arm deals to Iran. He also worked with David Kimche, K-I-M-C-H-E, of Israel's Mossad in the shipment of...

7:27 23 tons of military equipment flown in July 1986 by Azima's Madrid airline, Race Aviation. Now, keep in mind, we've talked about this before. This is not unlike what was going on in Angola in 1980s as well, where Israel was the cutout to provide arms to South Africa to traffic into Angola.

7:56 It's a reoccurring theme because they all work together. And that's kind of the foot stomping thing. If anybody listens to anything that I say, it is not one intelligence organization. They work together. They work seamlessly together. That's why James Angleton has monuments, at least two that we know of, in Israel.

8:26 Because he ran both the Vatican and the Israeli desk at the CIA. They work seamlessly together. Finally, in 1992, Sikord and Kimchi were reportedly in Azerbaijan trying to negotiate the sale of arms from Israel. One year later, Hek Martyr, the chief drug trafficker among the leaders of the...

8:54 CIA-sponsored Afghan Mujahideen was observed recruiting Afghan mercenaries, i.e. Gladio people, to fight in Azerbaijan against the Armenian and its Russian allies. Again, another instigation of destabilization in Armenia at the hands of the CIA being launched out of Azerbaijan.

9:22 The experience of Iran-Contra demonstrated that at least with an oil man like William Casey running the CIA, such intrigues could escalate to the level of a U.S. constitutional crisis. They would not normally lead to war. Similarly, the big defense expenditure items for strategic weapons and their delivery systems have not led us into wars. Wars have emerged instead.

9:53 in smaller countries of interest to oil companies and their lobbies, as well as mining and various other ones. It's not just oil. But whose names at the time were barely known to most Americans, like Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. Nations of Central Asia could play a role in our future, such as Azerbaijan.

10:20 Since 1994, Azerbaijan's state oil company has had an $8 billion 30-year contract with BP, Unical, Exxon, and other foreign oil companies to develop oil fields that may be among the largest in the Caspian Basin. Such forward investments create pressures for the U.S. government's commitments to secure them, and in this case, to secure agreements for the pipelines necessary for financial return.

10:50 which I would argue is not the fucking job of the United States government. If private oil companies wants to go get a concession in Azerbaijan, they need to be responsible for their own shit. We have oil in the United States. If you want to go find it somewhere else, do it yourself. Do not do it expecting U.S. blood to be spilled in that foreign country. But that's not the way the CIA works.

11:20 There are reoccurring allegations that U.S. oil companies, either directly or through cutouts, engage in covert operations. Actually, it's the CIA. It's not the oil companies, but the CIA works for the oil companies. They do not work for us. In Colombia, a U.S. security firm working for Occidental Petroleum took part in a Colombian.

11:49 Army military operation that mistakenly killed 18 civilians. We shall see in Chapter 1 that in the Caspian Basin, the major drug routes are where the oil companies are in Azerbaijan. And that's not a coincidence. Now, this incident where it's talking about a security company working for Occidental Petroleum. Let me explain to you how this works.

12:16 There are a lot of security firms that are procured by these guys that are basically CIA fronts. The CIA does this for plausible deniability. So they will pay. And usually the person that owns this company is on both books. They are technically still a CIA agent while they are posing.

12:46 as the owner or CEO of a business. That has happened repeatedly through my investigations. Also, they have people that quote unquote retire from the CIA that will go on to create one of these security companies. And that becomes their nest egg because they are allowed to keep.

13:10 a large portion of the profits. That's what happened with Edwin Wilson and several other of these people that created these companies. It happened with Paul Helliwell. It happened with William Pauly. There's lots of examples that we went through where these people take these jobs being like sometimes like in the case of William Pauly, he had the entire Curtis Airline franchise for Southeast Asia, which he used to procure.

13:39 an air force for Taiwan to attack China, not the other way around. The entire Caspian Basin is such an area with additional major insecure U.S. oil investments in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. Especially since 9-11, we have watched Central Asia receive deployments of U.S. troops from Georgia to Kyrgyzstan.

14:10 states are unstable and their governments have faced armed opposition. They're unstable for the same reason all the African countries are unstable, because the fucking CIA won't leave them alone. They want the instability so that they can insert covert operations and use them against Russia to destabilize that to get rid of Putin. This is not a mystery.

14:36 The short-term effects of oil investment is usually to increase instability by encouraging corruption, ostensibly living for a few and increasingly oppressive dictatorships. Awareness of this instability in turn feeds the demand for irrational U.S. force deployments into the area. So again, destabilization, deploy forces.

15:03 use those forces for covert operations for further destabilization, and then you become a breeding bed for mercenaries that can then be fed into this machine. The reason why the U.S. has engaged in wars in third world countries has been to articulate some type of high-minded strategy. But before the high-minded papers appear, the energies for involvement have been generated

15:32 by interest from the private sector, like oil, drugs, or a combination. This is especially true in U.S. official policies in Asia, where America's two most powerful lobbies, the oil cartel and the pro-Israel lobby, have become so hyper-linked in their continuous opposition to each other that they are now both almost beyond mention in public discourse.

16:03 It is customary to refer to APAC as the most influential and one of the best organized lobbies in Washington, but APAC, though famous for being underreported in the media, is relatively high profile compared to the opposing oil lobbies discussed in this book, such as the Foreign Oil Companies Group. APAC works...

16:27 at least partly through Congress. The oil lobbies usually work through the silent halls of the State Department, National Security Council, and the CIA. It has been said that the oil lobby is in itself a subsection of the government, with its roots planted deep in the soil of Washington, D.C. AIPAC and the oil lobby have developed largely in conflict with each other, but occasionally

16:56 Their interests merge. In 2002, they have at least two active interests in common. Both favored the current forward projection of U.S. power into Central America and the U.S. intervention in Iraq. The conflict of unmentionable special interest groups goes back to World War I and has deformed U.S. attitudes towards Asia and especially Islam.

17:24 Worse, it has deformed the evolution of Asia itself, starting with an artificial national boundary drawn by Western powers at Versailles. And he's referencing, obviously, all of the fake countries like Taiwan that was set up after World War II. Mentioning the psychological resistance that inhibits

17:49 Any recognition of this dysfunctionality and sometimes even criminal underpinnings of our current political establishment is taboo. This resistance is particularly acute in the case of the U.S. policies in Asia, dominated by special interests. I hope to show a particular sensitive thread, the role of the international drug trafficking and its impact.

18:22 its influence in U.S. interventions from Vietnam to Afghanistan. Also, the author wants to apply the term conspiracy to this process. Although he was inspired by his earlier researching into the KMT, the related airline Air America, the China lobby, and the China lobby's undoubtedly conspiratorial dealings with Richard Nixon in 1968.

18:50 The word conspiracy inevitably indicates a specific group or cabal, and the arc of the research that the author had done embraces something much bigger. On the other hand, I encountered among other pro-Vietnam War forces a similar ongoing, even predictable, conspiratorial mentality, one that could be counted on to seek to thwart conditions of peace.

19:19 that was imposed by the president or Congress. Events since this book was written proved that this type of mentality in wanting war to continue, which we're living through right now, how poetic, still exist. Violations of war to pursue warlike ends were officially documented in the case of Iran-Contra, which ultimately led

19:47 to indictments and guilty pleas. A decade later, it was discovered that the Pentagon had continued lethal training of so-called elite elements of the Indonesian army that were known to have committed war crimes. God, that sounds exactly like what we did after World War II when we hired Otto Skorzeny to be the trainer in NATO who was guilty of war crimes. And when we imported all of those people in Eastern Europe,

20:17 created the World Anti-Communist League into the United States and even allowed them to pose as preachers, knowing that every single one of them committed war crimes. The same thing happened in Japan when they didn't do a Nuremberg level, what we were supposed to have been a Nuremberg level criminal trial. They let all of the war criminals there go as well. This is a perpetual.

20:46 cycle because once they know who war criminals are and that they have no ethics, they want to use them in these covert operations. So they never, ever bring them to justice. And we're watching it again. We just installed one of our al-Qaeda trained assassins into the presidency of Syria. It goes on as we speak. These violations of law do not surprise long-term observers of the CIA or the Pentagon.

21:18 It is part of a culture in these organizations. The truth conspiracy has associations too strong for all of what I am describing. Just as an alternative word like mentality would be assuredly too weak, but at least in the 1960s, it was necessary to understand that war decisions and actions were not always reached or implemented in conditions of openness or candor.

21:47 Yeah, because we're not allowed to know. But through deception and intrigue outside the site of policy discussions, we can treat the developing U.S. presence in Colombia as a test to determine whether such conditions still exist. And they do clear till today. Perhaps instead of the word conspiracy, he should use the older word.

22:19 An analogy to the word aspiration, which would suggest a collusive mentality per se, rather than a particular group engaged in it. Indeed, it might be more fitting to talk of presidents in a peace conspiration since major presidential initiatives for peace regularly had to be prepared in conditions of.

22:45 secrecy. Eisenhower's remarks about the military-industrial complex surprised even his close advisors. Kennedy's June 1963 speech at an American university calling for a greater effort for peace with the Soviet Union was written by White House without Pentagon or State Department clearance. When Nixon dispatched Kissinger to meet with Beijing, total secrecy was maintained conclusively.

23:13 with the cover story that Kissinger had retreated into the mountains because of stomach problems. The difference is that the peace conspiracy was within the lawful power of the president. The war conspiration, in contrast, repeatedly exhibits efforts going at times beyond the law to resist and frustrate lawful power. This is instructive for the...

23:42 purpose of this book. Presidents have found it necessary to conspire almost in isolation for peace while many of the cabal engage in dysfunctional efforts for war. Now, the only part that I have a problem with in this guy's description of this is when eventually the national security documents like 4512-2

24:12 National Security Action Memorandum 4512-2 was released, you found out that the presidents weren't interested in peace at all. They were interested in covert operations, especially Eisenhower. And his warning of the military industrial complex really wasn't a warning. It was, hey, this is what I did. You guys need to be aware of it type of speech. I have a completely different opinion of that after knowing.

24:41 all of the regime overthrows and the assassinations that were ordered by Eisenhower to include the assassination of Patrice Lumumba and the overthrow of Mossadegh in Iran. And once you understand that they were just as instrumental in overthrowing governments, the part I do agree with him is, like in Kennedy's case, he did have to use...

25:06 covert means to have discussions with Russia. And as soon as the national security state found out that he was actually trying to do that, because he unfortunately used the wrong guy to do it, he ended up getting assassinated because you're not allowed to make peace with the entity they're using to create all of this chaos.

25:31 Nothing was going to happen to the Soviet Union because they needed the Soviet Union as a boogeyman in order to steal all of the resources because they were doing it under the guise of, that guy might be a communist. That guy might be a communist. And that's what you find in every single section of the world, no matter how far removed from anything to do with the Soviet Union.

25:57 The mantra was that guy might be a communist, so we have to kill him. And without the communist in the Soviet Union, if we were ever to have made peace with them, that would have went away and they can't have it go away. That's the same thing when they switched, when it eventually did fall, to radical Islamic. You are always going to have radical Islam as long as they're using it as a boogeyman.

26:26 to conduct operations to destabilize other places, currently the West. So just keep that in mind. Okay, he goes on and gives you some other definitions of words and in the introduction that I'm going to skip over. But I did want to read this one part because it's very,

27:02 Very interesting, which talks about unacknowledged programs that can metastasize. The unacknowledged defoliation program, which is basically like Agent Orange and all of the pesticides they were dropping to deforest the Vietnam area and Laos and everywhere else that they used it, Cambodia, and eventually a lot of other places, as we found out.

27:33 was eventually implemented and unacknowledged during the Cambodian bombing program that was conducted and authorized by Richard Nixon. It is a good example of how a program grows from its original intent. It was separated from any public evaluation because it was classified.

28:08 The author says that he wished he had written more about it in a previous book that he did. What begun as a way of clearing back hedgerows escalated into the practice of rendering entire regions uninhabitable. And in case you guys didn't know, SR-71, are you over on Rumble? There's somebody over there that's like going totally crazy. I'm on it.

28:42 Okay. Thank you. He's quicker on the draw. Okay. Thank you. So in case you guys weren't with us back when we talked about Cuba, the CIA used this same type of defoliation project in Cuba and basically destroyed.

29:11 a large portion of their sugar plantation, which most of the poor people used as a job and had their own crops. And the CIA basically destroyed all of them and ruined the ground for a couple of decades based on the use of those chemicals in those areas, which led to starvation in Cuba.

29:38 What is most revealing about the escalation of the use of this is that by October 1967, the Rand Corporation, which is a CIA front company, had concluded that the defoliation program had harmed residents in the vicinity of the crop destruction targets, had alienated the Southern Vietnamese population from the government because they were having

30:04 kids with birth defects and people were dying from the exposure. So nothing like pushing them into the enemy's arms had aroused much hostility towards the U.S. and their fake government that they installed in South Vietnam. It was not considered necessarily useful by the rural population. One month later, this negative assessment

30:33 was endorsed by Assistant Secretary of Defense Elaine Throven. Nevertheless, over half of the total gallons of herbicide sprayed in Vietnam occurred after they assessed it was doing more harm than good.

31:02 Even the apparent drop-off in 1969 was deceptive, since in that year the U.S. Air Force shifted to a comparably massive defoliation of French rubber plantations in Cambodia. So they didn't back off doing it, they just changed the locations. And their idea was that if they didn't have the rubber plantations, they didn't want anybody else to have them either.

31:31 They don't give a shit about the people on the ground. Never have, never will. So he has a chart in here that talks about the total amount dropped. So it went from 1962, the first year that they recorded using it, of 17,000 gallons of herbicide sprayed to 1970.

32:02 Let me see the height of it. 1968, six years later, five million gallons of herbicide dropped in one year. Five million. The year before that, five million. The year before that, two million. The year after that in 69, four and a half million. So total was 19 million gallons of herbicide sprayed everywhere.

32:34 The total square miles affected was 30,000 in total in about 10 years that they destroyed. And it contaminates it for decades. Can I just jump in? Because my husband's brother actually died of the Agent Orange effect. It had not just a long-lasting, awful...

33:06 awful things that happened to the people that were there. I know from firsthand that it also had long-lasting effects on the soldiers who were over there and died horrific deaths back here years later. Can you guys get those things erased or do they just stay off of the Rumble channel on the chat? It is erased. It says message removed by moderator.

33:39 OK, because it's still showing online. But all right. OK, so I did want to also add and all of this information, by the way, is still just in the intro. We haven't even got to the book. I did want to add one last thing talking about that area. He says that Vietnam was not an isolated event.

34:04 It was the product of ongoing war-creating energies located chiefly in the United States, which to this day have not yet been properly identified or countered, which is why Operation Gladio is still ongoing. Of these forces, none is deeper or more mysterious than the involvement of the CIA and airlines that work for it trafficking drugs. In the case of this book, they focus on Indochina and Afghanistan and Colombia.

34:34 But that is not the only place that it's at. In the past, the U.S. government has been the chief force preventing this understanding. Throughout the 1950s, reverse propaganda concealed KMT's active role in smuggling drugs into the United States. And for those of you who don't know, KMT was Chiang Kai-shek's, Chiang Kai-shek is a Chinese general, was.

35:05 His military was called the KMT, named after the area in which they were the warlords in China. They were all Chinese people, and Chiang Kai-shek was a Chinese general. When he was defeated because he was supplying cocaine from India to the Chinese people by Mao and kicked out of China, the U.S. continued for the next 40 years to recognize him as the official leader.

35:35 of China, even though he was not. And his military was relabeled by the United States as a political party. And so any consternation about their militant attacks on mainland China and all of the other areas in Southeast Asia was an attack on democracy. And I'm not even kidding. They were a military.

36:04 disguised as a political party and they used the fact that they had changed their shingle outside to say that they were overnight designated a political party and not a military, which they still were. And Chiang Kai-shek was still a Chinese general pretending to be a president of Taiwan because as soon as they installed him as the president of Taiwan,

36:30 which they did by changing the name of the island of Formosa to Taiwan, he immediately declared martial law because no one on Formosa wanted him there. And so he proceeded to kill tens of thousands of the indigenous people in Formosa in order to maintain control of Taiwan. And they lived under martial law for the next 40 years. So you have to understand that to understand what I'm about ready to say.

36:57 Throughout the 1950s, reverse propaganda concealed the KMT's active role in smuggling drugs into the United States. The principal source was Harry Engslinger, who was the head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, who charged repeatedly and falsely that the United States was being inundated by communist China opium when he knew.

37:27 Damn good and well that communist China defeated Chiang Kai-shek and kicked him out of the country for trafficking opium. They knew 100% that it was coming from Taiwan and not mainland China. And they lied to every fucking American saying that it came from communist China. You need to be questioning every single thing your government tells you about who's doing what to whom today.

37:58 because this is what they were doing 70 years ago. And they haven't changed because no one went to jail. Engslinger was backed by a very powerful China lobby group, both inside and outside the government, powerful enough to suppress real information and the only book during that period which referred to the KMT's role in drug trafficking.

38:30 And let me see. I looked that up earlier if I can find the name of that book. Yeah, here it is. And oh, by the way, I have it sitting right here. The China Lobby in American Politics is the name of the book. It is written by Ross K.O.E.N. It is an excellent book. It is hard to find depending on when you buy it.

39:02 I had to wait a couple of months before I could find a copy available. But it says, not only did Macmillan withdraw the book in 1960 because of objections from the China lobby, it went so far as to deny ever publishing it after the fact. Furthermore, a few copies survived in libraries, including the library at UC Berkeley.

39:33 The book was eventually republished by Octagon Publishing in 1974. And yeah, so that's how powerful that China lobby was. Okay, in the first half century, in the first, wow, in the 50 years since the Korean War, the U.S.

40:04 has been involved in four major wars in third world. The Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, a war in Colombia, and in Afghanistan. All four wars were fought in or near significant oil producing areas. All four involved reliance on proxies who were also major international drug traffickers. The American habit of training, arming, and financing its drug trafficking allies in order to keep secure oil

40:33 resources abroad has been a major factor in the illicit drug trafficking since World War II. This pattern is further reinforced when we consider two of the major indirect interventions of the same period, which included the Nicaraguan Contras and the Afghan Mujahideen.

40:54 The CIA contracted for the Contra support in Central America with an airline owned by a ringleader of the largest cocaine network in the region. By providing funds for Heck Martyr, a drug trafficker selected for support by Pakistani intelligence, the ISI, the CIA helped propel Heck Martyr into becoming the largest heroin trafficker in Afghanistan and maybe even the world.

41:23 All empires since the Renaissance has been driven in search of foreign resources, and nearly all, including the British, French, and Dutch, use drugs as a cheap way to pay for overseas expansion. When the U.S. decided to preserve Western influence in Southeast Asia, it inherited a social structure of former colonial regimes that had coexisted in one way or the other with powerful Chinese triads engaged in drug trafficking.

41:52 namely Chiang Kai-shek. We shall see in this chapter that the U.S. has become more and more committed to exclusive domination of the world's oil supply, both to secure the increasing oil needs and to preclude this power from passing into the hands of anyone else. And I would say it's really the latter because, obviously, we have so much oil here in America. This is really about control.

42:22 And it's not just America. As I refer to the international syndicate, it is a group of people that want this control because you very rarely ever see a U.S. oil company, even the Rockefeller ones, that are not working in collusion with BP and Shell from Dutch. The consistent U.S. recourse to actions that have built up the global drug traffic raises...

42:52 Did the U.S. seek to maintain control over the global drug economy to ensure that its riches would strengthen the U.S. economy and to deny them to communist enemies? Yeah, I can tell you the answer to that is no. It had nothing to do with denying it. They wanted the drug trafficking, because it's all covert money, to pay for the covert operations of Operation Gladio.

43:19 American dependence on drug proxies can be traced to the CIA's decision in 49 and 50 to provide arms and logistical support for the KMT, both in China and then in 49 to Burma, which is where they got kicked out. That's where they went initially was to Burma before they were ensconced into Taiwan. This evolved into a much larger program of support for opium growing.

43:48 to include in Laos. In the wake of the domestically unpopular Vietnam War, the U.S., in asserting an increasingly geostrategic interest in oil reserves throughout the world, had continued to seek local drug proxies to supplement alternatives to the use of U.S. armed forces.

44:12 That's not true. They use the U.S. Armed Forces, but they do try to use the paramilitary version, meaning Operation Gladio initially, and only if it gets out of hand do they basically drag the U.S. military in with a false flag conducted by the same mercenaries. I am not suggesting that concerns about oil and gas have dictated every U.S. policy move. On the contrary, when Clinton in 1996

44:42 was urged to recognize the Taliban by the U.S. oil company Unical, which was eager to build a gas pipeline through the country. He declined to do so. Pressure from women's groups appalled by the Taliban's anti-feminist proved decisive. In general, oil is a major factor in explaining why the U.S. is inclined towards intervention in the first place.

45:06 not in determining just how or when the U.S. military engagement occurs in a given area. Now, let me give you a counter to what he just said. The Taliban is a very unique group of people that basically operate and cannot be controlled much like Assad did in Syria. And they weren't bought and paid for.

45:35 There are some people that believe that the Taliban's not wanting drugs. And by the way, when they were in charge for a limited period of time before they were overthrown again, they did diversify. They did not want opium grown in Afghanistan. So it is more likely not that women had anything to do with that at all. And that dealing with the Taliban was not their cup of tea because they were not going to continue the drug trade the way. And I'm not.

46:03 being an apologist for the Taliban in any way, shape, or form. But these guys have particular things they want done. And when they don't find the people in charge supportive of those particular things, they get rid of them. It's as simple as that. Doesn't make you an apologist for them. It just means that that's what happened. Okay. Over the long haul since World War II, oil interests have dictated the general disposition of U.S. foreign policy abroad.

46:33 In Central Asia today, these interests transcend the issue of a single nation or a pipeline. The goal is to access and control all of the oil and gas along the Caspian Basin, which obviously puts us at loggerheads with Russia, which is why they're trying to overthrow Russia. I propose that this reoccurring convergence between oil and drugs is not a coincidence, but a feature.

47:01 of what this guy calls deep politics of U.S. foreign policy, factors in policy formation that are usually repressed and not acknowledged. The role of oil in U.S. geostrategic thinking is generally acknowledged. Less recognized is the drug aspect. The phenomenon that the author talks about

47:23 is sometimes characterized as blowback. The CIA's own term for unintended consequences at home of covert and usually illegal programs done abroad. But the term, by suggesting an accidental or lesser spinoff, misrepresents the dimensions and magnitude of the drug trafficking that the U.S. has engaged in. That drug trafficking has multiplied and spread around the world like a cancer.

47:52 It is also branched out into other areas, notably money laundering and people smuggling, like it has to happen whenever you're in the drug trafficking because you can't just take the cash down to a local bank. It also has escalated into human trafficking along with weapons trafficking. So yes, there is a multitude of unintended consequences of which they made profits off of as well.

48:23 The author says that he prefers to characterize what is happening by a general proposition. Covert operations, when they generate or reinforce autonomous political power, almost always outlast the specific purpose for which they were designed. Instead, they enlarge and become part of a hostile force in the U.S. that has to be addressed. To put it in terms that I find more precise,

48:49 So parapolitics, the exercise of power by covert means, tends to metastasize into deep politics and an interplay of unacknowledged forces over which the intentional, the original parapolitical agent no longer has control. Basically, it gets out of hand. He just says it with a whole bunch of big words. The oil drug convergence has.

49:16 happened elsewhere. In 1998, the U.S. intervened in Kosovo on behalf of the Kosovo Liberation Army, which earlier the State Department had designated as a drug-financed terrorist force. Gosh, that sounds so familiar, like what we just did in Syria. This followed talk of the Balkans as a route for the Western Pipeline to transport oil from Central Asia.

49:44 So all of a sudden, the terrorist became your best friend, just like what you just did in Syria, because we want a pipeline there too. In the 1980s, the CIA helped arrange a support network for the Nicaraguan Contras with the help of a drug cartel operating through Mexico. The DEA, at the same time, had identified this cartel as a major target, accounting for a major share.

50:13 of the cocaine moving from Colombia to the U.S. That the CIA overrode the DEA's enforcement priority reflected the CIA's involvement in the network. Not to be confused with the fact that, of course, Mexico has lots of oil as well. The clearest and most important case of consequential parapolitics was the decision of the U.S. in April and May of 1979.

50:45 to arm the Mujahideen guerrillas in Afghanistan, one of whom, Hek Marta, was already known as a drug trafficker and had his own heroin refineries. In the subsequent years, opium production soared in the Afghan-Pakistan Golden Crescent, which of course they needed because they had just lost Vietnam. Almost no heroin from this area

51:16 reached the U.S. before 1979, yet according to the official U.S. sources, it supplied 60% of the U.S. heroin by the next year, 1980. This scandal was kept out of the mainstream U.S. press because the CIA controls it.

51:36 Belatedly, in 1990, the Washington Post reported that the U.S. officials had failed to investigate drug trafficking by Pakistan's intelligence services and Hekmata because he and Pakistan was the one receiving all of our tax dollars to supposedly fight Russia's invasion of Afghanistan, which the CIA instigated.

52:06 You see how that works? If you want money laundering of American tax dollars, you instigate an invasion. Not unlike they just did in Ukraine by killing a whole bunch of ethnically Russian citizens that lived in the Donbass region. The reason we do this is because I want everybody to understand not a single thing that you are seeing being done today.

52:34 has not been done repeatedly in the past. And because we were too ignorant and the media lied to us to understand what was going on in our name around the world, it has continued to this day. And my mission is to get as many of us educated with our real history. So when you see what's going on today,

53:02 you can immediately call it out and say that's exactly what they did in Vietnam. That's exactly what they did in Afghanistan. That's exactly what they did in Colombia or Nicaragua or Chile or wherever. Because nothing they're doing today has not been done repeatedly in the past. They've just gotten better at it because they have practiced a shit ton of them. So that's a good way to end today. And we will pick up there.

53:32 tomorrow. So we will go ahead and open the mics. I just want everybody to understand how important. I've had people come into my profile on X and go, oh, you know, that happened 40 years ago. It doesn't matter now. It all matters. It all matters because it allows you to see things much clearer when you know how they operate. Do you have anything, Bridget?

54:10 Only, like I said, well, again, it's just giving clarity, giving a lot of clarity to the things that are happening today. You know, the more that we go through the nuances and it's recognizing their playbook and how they're using it on now us today. That's true. SR71. Carrie's got her hand up. Carrie, go ahead.

54:48 Hey, guys, I'm so sad that Mike Benz blocked you, Colonel. I'm not. I'm joking. I know you are. So a couple of things, two things, and I'd like your take on it. So I watched the Eisenhower thing speech at one point and I was like, wait, he's.

55:18 trying to usher in that we don't necessarily have an army, that we rely on the CIA and we do everything covertly. And I had never thought that before. I had never put that together in my mind before, but I think that he was being really sneaky and trying to

55:45 I mean, maybe he thought he was doing something positive because, you know, it's a new way to make war without all the bloodshed or whatever. But that was my take on it. I'd like to know what you think about that. And the other thing is, I think we've talked about this briefly, that I suspect that the, you know, Marx was in London.

56:15 And I suspect that the British had a lot to do with manufacturing communism and spreading it. And when you were talking about that, you know, they need Russia, that just sparked up for me again. And I wanted to tell you, I don't know if a lot of people know about Engels, who wrote...

56:41 the Capitol or Capitol with him and, uh, published all of it after his death. Um, and I know a lot about this because I'm an anarchist and we actually hate Marx, like real anarchist, hate Marx. Um, but, uh, anyway, Ingalls was a very rich kid from Germany. Um, Marx was from Germany too.

57:10 And and he, you know, wrote a lot of the stuff. And I don't know a lot about his history, but he published all of like Marx's writing afterwards. So I suspect that they were based in London and I suspect that that's an op. I don't know. It's crazy. Thank you for listening. What do you think?

57:39 So, first of all, I don't think Eisenhower was talking about not having a military. He was just talking about doing things. And I mean, he really didn't even talk about the he just did it, the covert aspect. And it was their belief that you could accomplish.

58:02 a large portion of what you wanted to do covertly so that only in worst case scenarios would you actually have to activate the military to go in. But they relied on the military training to supply the eventual mercenaries to be able to use them in covert operations, whether it's a pipeline into the CIA or whatever, or to these private military companies that we talked about in the last book.

58:31 So I don't think he was at all talking about not using the military, but to me, he was acknowledging that they had set up a military industrial complex. It wasn't a warning. It was a fait accompli. As far as things originating out of the UK, Britain, whatever,

59:01 There was a collection of people which didn't just reside in Britain. The Fabian Roundtable, or Fabian Society and the British Roundtable, actually were very worldly people. They traveled. They had people in France. I mean, they were...

59:29 The way they intermarried, they were basically related to just about everybody that was anybody in all of the European countries. And as we talked about in the secret societies where you had the Americans that through the Pilgrim Society and many other things had their tentacles into Britain as well. And so this syndicate, which is what I call it.

59:59 even back then was operating as one like Borg object doing all of this stuff. The seeding of the concepts of Marxism and, you know, taken to its full, the same thing with the eugenicists that were part of the Fabian society and how

1:00:26 Basically, any doctor that you saw involved in any stuff, any of the foundational policies of these people back then were actually veterinarians that talked about interbreeding people to come up with the best human to basically be a slave. I mean, the demented nature of the people when you go back and you read about them and what their thought process was that devised all of this shit.

1:00:56 And this one world government that they envisioned happening, they're Satanists, evil people. So all they were doing was trying to, it's not unlike today hiring a PR firm to write a policy paper. That's all the whole Ingalls and Karl Marx and all of them. They were just hired to write a policy paper. And then the governments are going to embrace that policy paper.

1:01:26 to do whatever it is that they're going to do with it. That is exactly what happens today. The government contract with RAN or SAIC or whatever to do a policy paper, and they pretend like it's an independent policy paper. It's not. They write exactly what the government wants them to write, and then they pretend.

1:01:45 Like it's real, like they actually did a survey or somebody actually thinks this or whatever. And then they have antidotal whatever evidence to back it up, which is all bullshit because they're just writing the paper to justify what they're already going to do. That's what the whole idea of that crap coming out of that period of time is to me. They already knew what they were going to do. They were going to create communism and they were going to create fascism or.

1:02:13 whatever you want to call Nazis, and they were going to use them as a left and right vector in order to make those two things extreme, create chaos by terrorist events perpetrated by both sides to include world wars, and then push us into the middle to accept servitude without being in a cage. And they have meticulously

1:02:44 created an invisible cage that we all live in, still thinking we're free when there's not a damn part of our life that we're free to live without government oversight. It's quite amazing, actually, when you start thinking about it. And to that point, tonight, and probably we're going to have to do another one, we're going to be talking on the Alpha Warrior Show about the Office of Public Safety. Because...

1:03:12 That oxymoron was responsible for the terrorist torture, assassination, and kidnapping of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, under the guise of the Office of Public Safety. The Office of Public Safety was the most lethal element of the U.S. government.

1:03:39 Around the world. That was not associated with our military. And it just still. To me. I'm still struck. Dumbfounded actually. That our government. It was so fucking evil. That they came up with a name. Office of Public Safety. To assassinate people with. So Miles go ahead. Good afternoon Colonel. It's funny how these stories. Come across your thread.

1:04:11 And you think if you don't vet them and research them, you think, oh, my goodness, it's happening right now. Well, thank God I did. Look, Script Keeper put it out. And then I did some research on this story. And it goes back to November 1st of 2024, which is still an interesting date because that's before our election. And, you know, before Trump got in there.

1:04:40 There was a big lab up in British Columbia that they seized enough chemicals to produce, what was it, 96 million doses of fentanyl. So I wanted to kind of keep it with the theme of your title as far as drugs. So it looks like something, we've got some kind of continuity of government outside of our...

1:05:09 you know, our government to stop these people. And I'm, I'm assuming I, you know, I haven't read the whole article that this stuff, the components were coming from, from China. Have you, you remember that story before the election? Yes. Okay. Yeah. But it is kind of funny how, you know, they recycle these news stories and you think it's like a current drug bust up there, but I kind of remember it now.

1:05:38 that I started to read the story, and it came from the New York Times. Thanks. Sure. All along. Hi, Colonel. A couple things. You just mentioned the Office of Public Safety, and I know I've said it before, but I just think it is so, so important that I have to say it again because, newsflash, I'm repetitive, which is what makes me so popular wherever I go. Okay, the Office of Public Safety.

1:06:08 dudes, Manny Pena and Hank Hernandez, ran as in chokehold, as in we going here and we ain't going there, the 1968 RFK assassination investigation. We think they had some pretty good hits. Okay. The other thing I wanted to say is, basically, I looked at SR-71s.

1:06:36 post about Operation Ranch Hand, which I think was perhaps alluded to in Peter Dale Scott's chapter that you just read or referred. So basically, you know, this is something that, as people know by the date, this was, you know, undertaken by a certain president named John F. Kennedy, right? And it's a policy that sucks.

1:07:05 in my opinion, was evil, okay? And so this is, this raised kind of a kind of important, maybe important, but if it's coherent enough, which is unlikely, point that you kind of mentioned earlier when you talked about the invisible cage that we are in. And what I mean, and especially what I notice is that certain like so-called discourses,

1:07:34 or conversations, you know, around the most controversial topics, for example, the JFK assassination, the MLK assassination, or RFK, whatever, they're caged. In other words, you so often get, you know, I find myself in a position, you know, almost evangelically, you know, praising JFK. And then I'm thinking like,

1:08:04 wait a minute, is this just because, you know, that I'm some sort of a hero-worshipping weirdo who likes to, you know, just heroic, you know, needs a hero model to worship, which, you know, which should be ridiculed if it's the case, but I actually really don't think that that's the case here, because what you find so often, especially in the JFK stuff, is it's like either-or.

1:08:33 And what I mean by that is like, either you get the medium is like 100% amazing stuff that, you know, St. John did, or it's 100% the opposite of like, and it's very significant for me here. I could be wrong. That the most vitriolic 100% JFK is evil stuff comes from the purported.

1:09:04 People like Noam Chomsky, Alexander Coburn, and, you know, still, it's less so now because so much is out of the bag thanks to programs like your own that they will be seen as correctly protesting too much these left gatekeepers, but they still just never go anywhere near it. They have people paid to keep the quote-unquote left away from it. So it's like, I'm winding this down, I promise. Part of this whole cage thing is,

1:09:33 to have this either-or structure in the media where the quote-unquote leftists only allow this. Other mediums will allow middle grounds, but the assassinated, they get this either-or market creation among the audiences, and that is the essence of the cage, to prevent the different sides from talking to each other about the most controversial stuff. I agree with you.

1:10:03 in that perspective. And kind of the thing that drives that point home to me was the recent, and this just sticks in my head, you could steal after, I mean, think of how long this has been. 1963 is when JFK was assassinated. When Tucker Carlson had Felix Rodriguez, an actual assassin, guys, that was...

1:10:33 A CIA assassin, okay? He was deployed all over the world. I'm sorry, we don't interrupt. No, he killed Che Guevara. Okay, but we don't interrupt, all right? I can say what I want. You don't get to tell me what to do. Oh, I'm afraid I do. Dumbass. So, the interview...

1:11:06 When he got to the part where he was talking about the Bay of Pigs and JFK, you could still reach out and feel the hostility, hatred that had been conjectured inside of him about JFK. And then also the opposite of that is the people that...

1:11:35 believe that all of the stuff that he did, like forming the Peace Corps and all of this other stuff, was all for the good. And you do get that either or. You rarely find anyone who talks objectively about JFK. And what I find most interesting about that concept is the JFK, from what it looks like to me in having...

1:12:05 Because he's central to so much of Operation Gladio. And the people that were involved in both JFK's assassination and RFK are all connected to Operation Gladio. So what you find, because you can't talk about Operation Gladio without knowing the in-depth these people and the organizations that they represented.

1:12:29 So what I found interesting is there are certain things like the reorganization of USAID. Now, AID was there. JFK reorganized it and into USAID. So you can't say he created it. It was already there. It was already doing regime change long before JFK came. The Peace Corps in and of itself, if you look at it the way it was objectively meant to be, you could rationally say that.

1:13:01 It had the potential to be a good thing. Of course, it was immediately co-opted and turned into a bad thing. So I do find that the and the whole thing about the sexual affairs, when you go back and you start looking into them, knowing how these guys operate, there's a lot of things that.

1:13:30 I have questions about that have been taken as fact on the surface that could play along with the whole CIA's role in trying to malign someone in order because they've done it. They just did it to Trump. Trump did not have anything to do with whores and prostitutes or whatever in Russia. And yet.

1:13:59 The CIA concocted this entire story trying to basically blackmail him into getting people to believe that it was in fact true. Now, obviously, we have a lot more resources available today to be able to disprove that it wasn't true. Those resources were not around in 1963. And so you wonder, in looking back on it, how much of that was real and how much of it was fake in order to try to manipulate and control him.

1:14:28 Because he appeared to be not controllable. So I find all of that very interesting. Because now, based on what we have discovered with Operation Gladio, you literally have to question everything about our history that we believe is true. So anyway, let me say, Gigi, Gigi?

1:15:00 With a toad. Thank you for she is over on Rumble and basically gave us a contribution for the work that we've been doing. So I just wanted to give her a shout out and tell her thank you very much for doing that. We appreciate it. And I don't see any other hands. Sometimes I don't know whether that's because there's no hands or because the hands are not working.

1:15:32 Bridget, do you see any hands? No, I don't. Okay. SR. Thank you, Colonel, and thank everyone for attending. Sorry for the little bit of interruptions we had to go through here. It's unfortunate that some people just use their head to hold their ears apart. Nonetheless, I did notice people still...

1:16:04 deviating from the subject of the book a bit and getting to current time, people hollering and screaming about Massey and his Demolay membership. And I did want to say something about that. The deal is with Demolay, I was in a Demolay chapter in San Antonio in my younger years. So I know what it's all about. It's all about religion. It's about family. And it's about value based upon Jacques.

1:16:35 other than that unless you see that man wearing the sonic ring he's not a mason that's something totally different yeah so i just wanted to add my two cents in on that and i made that post earlier only because i

1:16:55 I got very close to a family when I lived in Southern Indiana and I was going to Indiana University. He, no kidding, was a full-fledged Mason. My stepdad, the guy that my mom married after she divorced my dad, was a full-scale Mason with the crap on the back of his car, everything. I always thought that was weird. I don't know that much about the Masons, but I can tell you my husband's dad.

1:17:22 was a full-fledged local leader in the area that we live in for years. He never entered his kids into, because I know the women's part of it is called Eastern Star, and I know there's one for, but I ran a Girl Scout troop when my younger daughter, or my oldest daughter in Southern Indiana. So I had their daughter in my Girl Scout troop.

1:17:52 And I didn't know anything about Masons. My mom had not married my stepdad at that point or anything. So I didn't know anything about it. And I had lots of questions, just like I do now. I have lots of questions. I want to know everything about everything. And so as they were explaining the whole, you know, Masonic Lodge piece and the Eastern Star piece of it. And then they had these.

1:18:19 I don't remember what the young girls thing is, but I do know that the Demolay and I don't know if they're like both girls and boys because they had a son and a daughter. And I just found it very interesting. But I do know that the Demolay thing is only for 12 and under because that correlated with the Girl Scout troops of what I was doing versus the next level up.

1:18:49 And so that's really probably the only thing that I remember. But if you're a child, you go to whatever activities and whatever church your parents drop you off at or take you to and participate in. You don't get a say on what your social groupings are at 12 and certainly not younger.

1:19:18 The whole idea, and I'm not pro or anti Massey. I'm not even going to get into that. Everybody's welcome to their own opinion on that. But to say that he's guilty of something because of something his parents did when he was less than 12 years old is retarded. And I'm just going to say that out loud. It's retarded. If you've got an actual criticism, make your criticism. That's not one of them. Sorry.

1:19:48 The age group is 12 to 21, Colonel. Demolay? I thought it was under 12. Right. No, it's 12 to 21. And then from 21, you would go into the Masons. My uncles were Masons. And they tried to get me to join the Masons. Also, the Demolay chapters and the people that belong to them are by invite only. This is not, they don't have any bribe to...

1:20:17 to bring people into the chapter. No, it's by invite only. And typically it's through church. You're absolutely right, Colonel. You'll meet friends in church and this, that, and the other. And next thing you know, all the guys are inviting the young guys. Hey, why don't you come over to the, come join me, Demolay, and we'll go from there. But other than that, you're absolutely correct.

1:20:45 And that makes sense because we our Girl Scout troop actually met in a church. So that makes that makes complete sense to me then. OK, all along. Yeah, Colonel, what you just said about the age of the youngsters and, you know, having really no choice about what they're going to be learn or whatnot. It just reminds me again of the perspective I had as a high school teacher. It's like standing.

1:21:14 I know I rhetorically said this so many times that people would like to shoot me, but hey, I'm inspirational. No, seriously, standing in front of these classrooms for so long and seeing these youngsters for so long, you just get the sense like, wow, people are not born from red states or blue states. They are made that way. And it also makes you realize the importance of common denominators. It's like.

1:21:41 U.S. secondary education, it's the last time everybody gets the same content. And again, that connects, in my opinion, to why the CIA tells the most lies about JFK on the left, because that's where they need to be. Because if your listeners and, say, listeners who are on the left in the sense that they want to help the working class,

1:22:10 See the common denominator and they can agree on a similar history of the CIA and the national security state when it was 13 to 16 years old and still pliable. And some people thought changeable. That's a common denominator that changes U.S. history. So, again, audience and age is so, so important, I think. And I think the CIA understands that.

1:22:40 Yeah, that's a good point. Illini, did you have something? Hey, Colonel. Hey. I missed part of your space on Monday, and it looks like it wasn't recorded. I wanted to ask you what you thought about, number one, have you seen Sam Cooper's reporting that Justin Trudeau got caught meeting with members of United Fronts?

1:23:08 a fentanyl trafficker who wound up being attacked in a drive-by shooting. Obviously, his security team would have had to have been aware of some of the threat there. So I think it was probably a deliberate meeting. But then second off, is that what Trump is really talking about when he's talking about fentanyl? And is Trump basically just kind of running this weird trade strategy of tension on...

1:23:37 on Canada's oligopolies and Canada's kind of, you know, deep politics and the real power behind the throne in Canada? And then finally, do you think he tries to peel off Alberta? Because if you get Alberta, you basically, you know, you kind of control the, you know, the flow of energy into Ontario and Ottawa. Those are very interesting questions.

1:24:07 Um, actually, as far as the Sam Porter thing goes, I, is that what you said? Sam Porter? Uh, Sam Cooper. I just put it up in the nest. Okay. No, I did not see that. So I will, um, that one until tomorrow. So I'll give you a chance to look at that. Thank you for posting that. Um, I definitely think that, um, what just happened in Canada. I think Trump.

1:24:36 made comment of the 51st state on purpose to draw a lot of attention to Canada, knowing as, and I don't mean like a crystal ball knowing, all of these elections are rigged. There are all kinds of machinations going on behind the scenes in order to get the candidate that they want sitting in a seat.

1:25:03 And so just simply knowing that that's what's going to happen in the Canadian election and that they're not going to let an actual patriot take over Canada to work arm in arm with Trump. I doubt that there would have been all that much attention paid to the Canadian election had Trump not already cast a spotlight of like a million degrees on Canada just shortly, a short time ago.

1:25:33 I do see there being some highlighting to the extent that what's going on behind the scenes is a completely different context. Because I could see that behind the scenes, there being leverage to bring to bear on certain things happening. Because I honestly think that...

1:26:05 When when the comment gets made that there's going to be deals that are made in order for us to transition to this non corrupt kind of reconstituting our republic per se. And unfortunately, not all of us are going to see all of the people that we want in jail because.

1:26:34 In something like this, you have to have cooperating witnesses. And so there are going to be deals that are being made. And I do think in Canada, that's an ongoing process, number one. And I agree with you on the assertion. I don't know how the breaking up of Canada would work, though. That would be my only hesitation. I agree with your assessment of the critical.

1:27:03 Alberta position, but I just don't see how that would work. But of course, I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about it either. Miles, go ahead. So going back a little bit, when Trump said, we've got it all, there's no one else that could have done this except me. Now, if you look at the timestamp of that, that was a long time ago.

1:27:29 And I've been doing even more research on the coup d'etat and the events that took place before the coup d'etat. And a major event happened in my city with George Floyd. But we still don't have all the evidence of that. But I do think when he makes a statement like that, he knows what happened. He knows what was going on in Portland and Seattle. And they were using, you know, like.

1:27:57 technology, facial recognition, even at night, to know who these people are. So you're probably right, Colonel, we'll never probably know exactly what the operation, the details of it was, and all the people that got arrested. But do you think that this operation was going on a long time ago and very sophisticated at that?

1:28:28 So here's here's what I will say about that, because obviously we have no evidence. I either there's a shit ton of coincidences or something was going on and you can fall in either bucket that you want to be in. When I research Operation Gladio and it seems like every book that I pick up, there's something that touched Trump.

1:28:57 You guys recall the book that we just did when we were talking about how the Mary Carter Paint Company, which was a CIA front company for laundering cash, ends up being transitioned into Resorts International working out of the Caribbean and how Trump ends up as part owner in that. And it's 100 percent mafia. And yet.

1:29:26 Nothing ever comes of that because what he did was legitimate in the purchasing of it. But I think they were trying to dirty him up. And then you go into his career, obviously, in working in New York in construction where a lot of hands get greased. And yet he didn't play in any of that. He was in the New Jersey casino business.

1:29:51 He bought the building co-located, as Stahler pointed out the other day, of Howard Hughes out in Las Vegas. And he spent time in the whole Hollywood television genre, which we know is corrupt as hell, and yet still nothing. I think that there was either him doing all of this stuff.

1:30:21 As a Democrat. Getting dirt on everybody. Or. There was a whole lot of. Trying to dirty him up. So that he would not be. A threat to them. And it failed. And he announces. That he's going to be president. And he's. Spent time. In all of the different venues. That they've existed in. To include.

1:30:51 you know, trying to start a political party with, what's his face, Jesse Jackson. He's been around all of them. And they're all dirty and he's not. Because if he was dirty, he would have been in jail. And the vehement attacks on him tells me that they know he's a threat, which is why I feel very comfortable with trusting what he's doing.

1:31:19 That does not mean that I'm still not going to speak out on things that I disagree with because I will. I'm not in a cult. And actually, I view him doing some of the things that he does as a test. And let me point that out. When he nominated the Hillsborough County, Florida sheriff to be the DEA chief.

1:31:48 One of two things could have been true. He has been naming people to some positions like Rubio that benefited from a corrupt State Department to basically like close USAID and do all of these very unpopular things. And it may be because he's going to use them to do very unpopular things and then send them on their merry way. And it could have been.

1:32:17 that he wanted this Hillsborough County sheriff guy, who's dirty as the day is long. He arrested Pastor Rodney Brown. He's the only church that refused to close because he fed poor people every day. And the sheriff came personally. He didn't send a deputy to arrest him during COVID. He is literally married to a mafia princess. Now, was he?

1:32:42 naming him to put him in as DEA and then going to force him to close DEA, which is dirty as well. I don't know, maybe. But I spoke out vehemently against that guy being in the U.S. government and getting one tax dollar because he's a crooked asshole. During the entire 2020 summer BLM Antipa bullshit, they were sitting in the middle of

1:33:11 Interstate 75 over there. They were sitting in the middle of the crosstown over there blocking traffic and he didn't do a fucking thing about it. We had four people show up at a major intersection in Polk County and Grady Judd was out there in two seconds and hauled every one of them to jail and turned around and told everybody in Polk County if they're not in a crosswalk, run their ass over. So I think there is a test that's being ran on us.

1:33:39 to see how well educated we are and how much research we're willing to put in to push back on things that we should be pushing back on. We are not in a cult. If he does something and you disagree with it, you owe it to you and everybody around you to vocalize that dissatisfaction. That doesn't mean that I don't absolutely endorse President Trump because I do.

1:34:08 But I also have a brain and I'm not in a cult. So I will push back. And if they are looking to people to vocalize that in an intelligent way that you are paying attention, they're going to know when they can go to the next step of whatever it is they're doing.

1:34:35 They don't want a bunch of non-thinking morons either. We've had that for way too long. We need to be awake and we need to speak our minds. And when we disagree with something, disagree with it. That doesn't mean you have to hate them. It just means you disagree with them. Miles, go ahead. Do you know who J.F. Anon is? I've seen the account. Oh, okay. Well, I want to do a shout out for him because of Gart. He took a group.

1:35:09 Badlanders and put them up in the Trump Tower International in Vegas. Joe Rambo was really funny. As soon as he got there, he got there late. He was like, I wonder if they cleaned up the driveway. He put the bill for a lot of patriots and they had a great time. I know you wanted to go, but you probably couldn't go. Looks like they had a great time in Vegas.

1:35:39 No, I didn't want to go because it was during the Strawberry Festival. If I wanted to go, I would have went. But no one constructed my calendar. And I go to the Strawberry Festival religiously every year for like the last 35 years, minus the three years that I lived in Italy. So, no. Okay. All right. You can tell me what to do. I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just telling you. No, I'm just referring to that idiot. I'm just referring to the idiot that was on.

1:36:08 You can always tell me what to do. Hey, how you doing, Colonel? I hope you had a good time at that strawberry festival right there. Probably better than you did in Texas. I did. That's good. That's good. I was going to see what you thought on this, Colonel. As big of a supporter as I am of Trump and Massey, at the same time,

1:36:34 I'm starting to get a little weary on people. Like people seem to be idolizing the man, you know, and that's the thing about it. Like they forget that he, the man still works for us. He is a man in fact, and he's not an idol or he's not a God or anything like that. But it's amazing to me how people will question your patriotism, you know, like, like for kind of pushing back on some of this, the stuff that.

1:36:57 That he has. And me, me, myself, you know, I go into conspiracy mode like all this is a ploy to get us to do this, that and the other or whatever. But I wanted to see your thoughts on that. Do you think that some of these people do, in fact, idolize Trump? Yes. I mean, I think there's so there's different personality types. There are some people that have been so overwhelmed for so long.

1:37:28 and lost hope that they literally see Trump as a life raft. And honestly, I can't blame them because there's been some people that have been so traumatized by some of this stuff that they're looking for anything as a glimmer of hope that is going to change. So, I mean, I can understand that.

1:37:58 But I think that those of us who don't fall into that bucket need to be the ones that push back on the things that we feel strongly about. Because, again, I firmly believe that whoever it is that is looking through the social media.

1:38:27 And getting the pulse of where everyone is, I think there's a better way of saying this. I, again, I'm a concept person. And so when I first got serious about reading the Bible and going to church as an adult, because my family was not religious at all, I conceptually, as I read the Bible, viewed

1:38:58 our pathway to heaven as a staircase, which I think is hilarious because of that Stairway to Heaven song. But to me, and I got here completely separate of the song, but I believe that we are put here on a mission to do certain things. And to do those certain things, you have to learn certain lessons that make you the person to be prepared to do those certain things.

1:39:27 And there are situations that you're going to be in that you don't understand why you're in while you're in them. But later on, just as I have with Operation Gladio, I look back and I'm like, holy shit. I was given three different assignment choices and I picked Italy. And then I'm in Italy the day that they announced Operation Gladio. So those are just kind of some of the things. I feel like I'm on God's mission in exposing Operation Gladio. I've said that multiple times.

1:39:57 Some of the things that I had to go through in order to get here was very, very hard and like very, very hard. But I got to I got to agree with you on that, too. I don't think that how do you say this? It is hard to word this. It's like I don't think everybody I think honestly, some of us may have been put here for a reason or whether we want it or not, whether we like it or not or whatever, whether we expect it or not.

1:40:25 But it's kind of, you know, to guide some of these people. You know my personal thoughts on it, Colonel. I don't want anybody to get consumed in any of these crazy agendas and stuff like that. But I want them to seek the truth also because I believe 100% it's going to take we the people to push the, you know, to apply the pressure to get there. And I got to say, people like you, you know, I think that, you know, natural born leaders. And these are the people that are, I think that we're here.

1:40:55 To, you know, however, however people want to say it, we're here to guide some of these people and make sure that they don't get, you know, consumed in the bullshit, if that makes any sense. It does. And so just to finish that, I think that if you're on a let's say that you're at level three on stair tread three and you're trying to get to four.

1:41:19 but you haven't really learned the lesson that you're supposed to learn at three, you're going to stay at three until you give it to God and allow him to teach you the lesson that you're supposed to learn. You're going to stay at three. Some people never get off at three. Then when you get up to four, there's something that you're supposed to learn there. And you're going to stay at four until you learn that lesson and you give it over to God to allow you to learn the lesson you're supposed to learn.

1:41:46 And I do think that there are people that are on different stair treads that some people are never going to learn. Other people learn faster and trust God more. And I do think that that's kind of where we're at with Trump. I believe that.

1:42:05 God has ordained him to be where he is today. And I think he put all of those other things that I have exposed in part of this Operation Gladio in order to prove for anyone looking for breadcrumbs that he is in fact where he's supposed to be. He went through all of these trials and tribulations.

1:42:30 And when he succeeded in each and every one of them and didn't take the bait, whether it was in the resort international deal or the construction thing or the New Jersey thing or the Las Vegas thing, it allows you to have more confidence in trusting someone in an office that we've not been able to trust anybody in in a very long time. And so I look at my journey.

1:42:58 up that staircase and I look at all of the stuff that I've learned through Operation Gladio research of where Trump's staircase has led him and how many steps he had to go through in order to get to where he's at in order to fulfill his destiny. And I just feel that's where we're at. And I know some people will think that sounds corny, but that's the way I interpret.

1:43:26 that is going on around us. I don't think it sounds corny. I want to say, you know, we appreciate you, Colonel. We support you. We love you. And you are special, honestly. I think that God did put you on this earth for a reason and put you up in our lives right here. Everything happens for a reason, right? So that reasoning is right here with the Colonel and we appreciate you and support you. Thank you. Thank you, Coyote. SR-71, go ahead. Thank you, Colonel. I got a question from Elmwood C on Rumble. Uh-huh.

1:43:58 deviating from the subject a little bit. He says he damned you with a video from Dr. Lee Merritt, the physicians, and he wants to know if you had a chance to look at it. I did not. Thank you, Colonel. Sure, I'll go look for it. Okay. Yeah, this show tonight on Alpha's show is going to be a barnstormer. I've been spending a lot more time than I normally do.

1:44:33 getting all of the different citations and stuff like that, because it is one of the craziest ones of all of the USAID exposures, and no one ever talks about it, which I find very interesting. And what's really going to be interesting is talking to Alpha about it as a former cop, because it has lots and lots of implications.

1:45:00 And thank you, Renee, for your compliment over on Rumble. I appreciate it. Miles, go ahead. Didn't barnstormers crash a plane into a barn? Are you going to do that tonight? No, I'm going to crash someone else's plane. Hopefully the deep state or the syndicate's plane. All right, guys, I got to run so I can get ready for dinner. Thanks for being here. What time is Alpha Show? Alpha Show is 930 Eastern Time.

1:45:31 on the Alpha Warrior channel on Rumble. I think he streams it over to X as well. But if you want to be in the chat live, which is a very lively chat, go to Rumble and log on to his channel there. Okay, we're out of here. Thanks again, everybody, for being here. Appreciate it. And we will be back tomorrow at noon with Warhamster, fresh from his Bahama honeymoon.

1:46:03 And then we'll be back here at four o'clock. See you later.
