Transcript

0:00 Okay, everybody. Oh, the world's getting crazy. That's all I can say. We're going to give it a minute for everybody to get in. If you guys would please share out the space, I'd appreciate it. I've got the rumble up and running. It already had started kicking people out that it already came in over on X and it kicked me out, which it hasn't done in the last probably five or six times. So that's a little weird.

0:34 we're back to being stupid again. I love it. Speaking of being stupid, is it just me or have you noticed like this ration of people of being stupid on X in the last couple of days? Absolutely. 100%. They are absolutely. I don't know if it's bots are triggered or.

1:00 Or all of the above. The botch being triggered. Yeah. I mean, it's just nuts. I mean, people are just dumb and aggressive. Okay. So imagine after. Oh, and by the way, everybody needs to take a second and pat themselves on the back. On Rumble, we just went over a million views collectively. Woohoo! I never.

1:28 ever envisioned that ever happening. That is awesome, Colonel. We've come a long way, baby, right? Absolutely. So I also want to share with you, since it's all public knowledge, last night I went into Sun Tzu's

1:58 space. And I know many of you guys came in as well. And I did not know it the first time. Well, the first probably half of the time I was there speaking about several things. I'll go over a couple of them before we start today as we wait for more people to come in. But one of the things that I noticed in that.

2:25 One of Cousin It's favorite people were there, Liz Churchill. I won't share kind of the behind the scenes, but just trust me, it is tongue in cheek, one of Cousin It's favorites. But she was talking and had mentioned about how NAFTA was signed by Bush. So as they're talking, I'm writing notes about things I need to correct.

2:52 Because one of my big pet peeves is being in spaces and people talking as an authority and getting shit wrong. That just drives me nuts. I mean, ask a question or whatever, but don't just spout out shit that's not true as if it's facts. That drives me nuts. So as I started, and of course they were denouncing how evil the CCP was for creating and unleashing COVID.

3:21 And so, of course, by the time it got around to me speaking, I had a list of like four things. And I said, OK, not to piss anybody off. And they were all still there. But NAFTA was not signed by George Bush. It was signed by Clinton. I know I was at the Pentagon when it was signed. Also, everyone knows that COVID was not created by the CCP. So I wish people would quit talking like it is.

3:47 It was created in the United States. The person, the company that had the contract to maintain the Wuhan lab and its isolation protocols was Patel. We've uncovered all of that. They also had the contract in Ukraine and Georgia and most all of the labs around the world. And that's a company no one talks about for some reason. I don't know.

4:12 And then I told him about the whole chaos and control. And the guy that Sun Tzu had on as the guest was like, oh, my gosh, I remember that. Get smart and blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, yeah, exactly that. So anyway, I basically told him about this. This is not something the CCP set up. It goes back to the Fabian Society. You guys know the whole drill. So I just said a couple of those talking points.

4:42 So the guy says, oh, my God, oh, my God, I got to have you on my wife's program. And I'm like, OK. And he's like, oh, I'm going to reach out to you. I'm trying to get a hold of my wife right now to get her on. So as the show goes on and other people are talking, I find out that his wife is Laura Logan. So that's amazing. It's great. Well, well, I mean, it goes through. Yeah, I doubt that it will.

5:15 Because I'm just telling you, it is not the first time. It will not be the last time. And none of it actually goes through. None of it. And I am convinced I will be shocked, literally shocked, if that occurs. Because once people look at the content that we generate, and it is a we,

5:45 they don't want to touch it. So anyway, he said at least probably 10 times during the course of the conversation before I had to leave, which was like at 11 o'clock already, that same thing. So whether or not, he didn't even follow me. So whatever, he won't even remember who I am today. But I did want to say that, that we are making an impact.

6:13 And that you guys' additions that collectively have created this body of information is basically coming to the attention of the right people. Whether or not they have any part in revealing the rest of it is a different story. But I just wanted to...

6:41 Again, thank you for the rumble. Over a million views on all of the videos there. And getting me pieces of information that we can put all of this stuff together. And it was during that conversation. Weirdly enough, somebody yesterday had already sent me a question.

7:10 about the Asian Foundation. And it came up last night. So this is definitely God-driven. I just want to say that up front. Definitely God-driven. And I had told the person yesterday, earlier, that I had information on it because that organization had a very similar footprint as the World Anti-Communist League.

7:36 The World Anti-Communist League had all of the players that we've already covered. The mafia bosses, World War II war crime guys from Japan, Chiang Kai-shek, and the anti-Bolshevik guys of Eastern Europe. So it tied in. It was really a toss-up because I had information on both of them. But then once I found the World Anti-Communist League book, there's an entire book on the World Anti-Communist League.

8:06 I chose that one to do the couple of shows that we did on the Alpha Warrior program only because it put all of the threads of things that we had already covered together. The Asia Foundation is equally important, but for different reasons. And actually, again, a God thing.

8:32 Asia Foundation, as you guys read, I've posted the first three of the threads. I have one more. It's ready. But unfortunately, this interface that Bridget found for me to use, and all of them are like that. We tried several of them, thanks to her. It doesn't matter if I do it on a slow release or I just do them all where it just kind of posts them one right after the other. If I do more than two,

8:59 without waiting a period, a two of 30 posts. So one thread of 30 posts, another thread of 30 posts, and it limits you to 30. I have squeaked in a short 31 where it makes a logical break, but if you do any more than that, it breaks the thread. So, but if I do more than two at a time, two threads of 30 posts each, it thinks I'm a bot.

9:28 even though I'm logged in as me via Twitter. So Twitter then breaks the third one, and then I have to go back halfway through it and start manually copying the stuff over to finish the thread. So I waited a little bit, did the third one, and I will post the fourth one because, like I said, I did them all at once. I'll post the fourth one when we're done with this space so that you guys will have them all in close proximity to read them all.

9:57 You're going to see the thing that I started last night in revealing that part of the release from the CIA and how they set up these proprietary organizations. You are going to see they like mirror each other, how they folded one, the precursor to the Asian foundation.

10:25 They say everything says that it was set up in 1954. It wasn't. It was set up in 1951, but it started getting out that it may be something nefarious. And so they basically just renamed it and pretended like that first three years never existed. And the only thing that you can find without going back to old articles is the fact that it started in 1954. So it literally ties in to what we started last night.

10:53 in the revelations of the internal kind of way the CIA operates. And so I am so glad we waited because obviously the stuff that I did with the World Anti-Communist League tied into the stuff that we were doing before. And this dovetails perfectly into the exposure of some of these recently released documents. So again, it's a God thing. In his timing, all of this stuff will come out.

11:21 And the fact that someone yesterday early reminded me that I had done all of that research and I said to him just a real short, yes, I'll put it all together and put it out later. And then I'm in that space last night and it comes up again. I'm like, first thing this morning. All right, I'm going to sit down. I got it, God. You're telling me to do it and put that whole thing together of stuff that I had already saved along the way.

11:52 Um, again, you guys, if you feel, um, uh, the, uh, if you come across something and you feel that it would be relevant, trust that God is telling you to do that and send it to me, um, or tag me in it or whatever, because what we are doing, I feel is so important. Um, anyway.

12:22 And again, it is a collective effort, obviously. But I do have to say, and then we're going to start laughing. And I'm going to just say it. So first of all, someone today chastised me for being rude. I'm like the last person that gives a shit about your feelings. And of course, I had to laugh about that after the talk we just had yesterday about that very subject.

12:54 But followed up like a half an hour ago, this person, I'm trying to be nice, who goes by tired and semi-competent mom. Now, who the hell would have a name like that on a profile? I don't know. This, I want to quote this because you guys know all of the shit that I have uncovered. This is an exact quote.

13:23 If you don't list the religions of everyone else, especially knowing how involved the Vatican was, then it's anti-Semitism. Refuses to answer the question because this is the third time she said something stupid. And instead of just calling her a retard, I decided to ignore her. So eventually, if you keep on being retarded, then I'm not going to continue to ignore you. And so.

13:51 I said in response, your question's retarded. I don't answer retarded questions. I clearly articulated the entire story repeatedly. And when religious affiliations are part of the story, I note them too. Your inability to keep up isn't my problem. So, if there's anybody on all of X that has uncovered more shit the Vatican has done,

14:18 And how deeply involved in Operation Gladio they are. That person doesn't exist. So, again. And we've even lost, we lost Julie and others when we exposed it. We lost half of our research team for me calling out the Vatican. That is the most retarded thing that you could say about me ever. We started off.

14:49 Beside myself with five people over on True Social. Three of them left when we did Paul Williams. They called him an atheist, even though he had been a Catholic his entire life and taught in Catholic schools and colleges. They went ape shit crazy, saying nasty things on True Social about us. Yeah, three of them.

15:18 It wasn't Julie. It was the woman that was the German translator because Julie left because she got sick. Or was there another? Yes, there was another Julie. It was the other Julie. Well, and one of them I had just spent the weekend in Nashville with. Remember? I still have a picture on my phone. She was a hairdresser to all of the stars in Nashville. She did in-home.

15:49 hairdressing. And so she met us at an Italian restaurant. She drove us all over Nashville and was pointing out where everybody lived and everything. And then like two weeks later, she blocked Bridget and cousin and I, because we dared to talk about the Vatican church. So again, you're not going to find anyone that is more of a straight shooter when it comes to calling out people.

16:18 as it relates to Operation Gladio. You're just not. Sorry. Anyway, let's get to the story. We're on Chapter 6 in the book, Drugs, Oil, and War. And again, we're still on the topic of Colombia. The true national interest of the U.S. and that of Colombia has to be distinguished sharply from those of people at the Pentagon and the CIA.

16:45 who now have four decades of failed efforts to account for. Like, they seem committed to compounding their mistakes by expanding rather than ending them, which is absolutely true. But again, people don't realize that they don't work for us or the country. So these aren't really mistakes. These are all on purpose. There is a strong analogy here with Vietnam to which the same pure...

17:13 bureaucracies committed the U.S. without any aspect or prospect of success. Again, because it's not about winning. Not in the traditional sense, anyway. The democratic interest of the U.S., in contrast, is for a democratic Colombia on a democratic continent. In practical terms, this would mean, as the president, Pastrana, saw so clearly when he was first elected,

17:45 His commitment to the Colombian peace process and extrication from the conflict that prevailed when he was elected. In theory, the U.S. government is committed to precisely those same objectives. Yeah, not so much. Well, not the ones that are selected anyway. In its fact sheet explaining the plan Colombia, the State Department wrote that the proposed U.S. assistance package.

18:15 will help Columbia address the breadth of the challenges it faces. Its efforts to fight the illicit drug trade, to increase the rule of law, to protect human rights, to expand economic development, and to institute judicial reform, and to foster peace. But the same fact sheet made it clear that the proposed human rights assistance would all amount to $93 million in two years.

18:43 or under 5% of a $1.6 billion total U.S. proposal. So human rights assistance, $93 million and $1.6 billion package. As for the peace process, the fact sheet asserted that the U.S. government is hopeful that the peace negotiations now ongoing between Colombian government and the FARC guerrilla group, and again, remember, this was written in 2003, and the Colombian government.

19:14 and the ELN guerrilla group would be successful. However, not one penny was allocated to implement these hopes. And not one sentence addressed the fact that the U.S. efforts was now a major obstacle to negotiations with the FARC. Because remember, the FARC are the indigenous people that want their farmland back that got stolen to grow poppy on.

19:38 We kept calling the guerrillas when in fact they were the actual good guys in a relative sense. This epitomizes what has always been wrong with U.S. aid packages in Colombia and elsewhere, which use a human rights veneer to mask a military reality. I'd say paramilitary. Let me quote Ambassador Robert White.

20:06 who was our ambassador in Colombia under Jimmy Carter. And this is the quote. Tell me where you put your money and I'll tell you what your foreign policy is. If you put over 90 cent of a foreign policy dollar in the Pentagon and the CIA, then your policy is going to emphasize a military approach, a secretive under the table approach to the problems. For example, the budget for the White House drug office, this office of narcotics control.

20:36 is greater than the State Department and the Commerce Department put together. Because it wasn't about narcotics control, it was about narcotics. Now, what possible sense can that make? You are starving diplomacy, you are exalting a military approach to problems, and frankly, all of the experience that we've had is that these anti- or counter-narcotics programs don't work.

21:05 because the use and the supply goes up every single time. So by default, that's what they're designed to do. That was my little addition. Going back to the quote, during the lifetime of the program in Colombia, the last three years, this intensive counter-narcotic program exports to the US have more than doubled. So again, it is not a counter-narcotics. It's like counter-insurgency. There's no such thing.

21:34 in the CIA as a counterinsurgency. There's only insurgencies. There's no counter-narcotics program. There's only narcotics programs. And that's something we all have to come to grips with. It is no accident that as the U.S. involvement in the Colombian armed forces have grown, the flow of drugs into the U.S. has increased. As increasing number of planes flown back and forth, opportunities to smuggle expand.

22:04 Because that's the reason for the planes. One could have predicted the dramatic drug seizures of November 1998 in Fort Lauderdale, 1,600 pounds of cocaine in a Colombian Air Force plane that had never been in the hands of anyone else. A U.S. officer in Colombia and his wife have also been busted for money laundering and smuggling heroin and cocaine.

22:30 We may see a repeat of their narcotics scourge accompanying the Vietnam War when drugs were smuggled in the corpses of U.S. soldiers. Today, the paramilitaries are still the chief stumbling block to the Pastrana peace process. The FARC is often represented in the U.S. press as refusing to negotiate, but in fact, mindful of its disastrous experience in the 80s,

22:58 Spark is insisting as a condition for negotiations that the defense forces be brought under government control. Though Pastrana lacks the power to do that and the army lacks the will to do it, that's Spark's position and it's understandable. It is increasingly dangerous for anyone in Colombia to speak out against the violence. Castano, one of the cartel mafia guys,

23:27 organization, which has hacked people to death with chainsaws, has issued threats against members of the human rights groups and non-governmental organizations by declaring them part of a military objective and by affirming its intention to abduct these same individuals. It has similarly threatened and abducted members of peace movements in Colombia. More than 25 such individuals have been killed or disappeared.

23:57 Since the beginning of 1997, an American peace worker in a Peace Brigade International was also declared a target in early 2001. Far from being marginalized by the U.S. presence, the paramilitary death squads work in conjunction with them, killing and terrorizing anyone that approaches the poppy fields or coca fields.

24:22 so that U.S. planes can spray at low level with impunity. Meanwhile, the number of displaced people in Colombia continues to escalate. In 1998, approximately 300,000 were driven from their homes, according to the State Department, largely by paramilitary activity, which of course is funded by the U.S. Now some estimate the total to be over 2 million. Most of the recent victims are...

24:52 fleeing from aerial crop spraying, which kills the cocoa and legitimate crops. And it also kills the fish in the fish farms and sickens the peasants and their livestock. So, and remember, we had just read yesterday where it talked about they were targeting the non-CIA

25:21 coca plants that were in the hands of someone they deemed a competitor. And so just like what we read back when we were looking at the WWF with the genetically modified seeds and the use of basically an agent orange type pesticide, herbicide in Argentina.

25:45 where large sections of villages surrounding the soy crops that were being grown all over Argentina by Monsanto, people were having miscarriages to form babies just like Vietnam all over Argentina. The same thing is happening here in Colombia. The same thing happened in Cuba when they couldn't get their sugar plantations back. They basically went in there, they being the CIA.

26:14 and sprayed this shit all over, ruining their food supply, which they didn't care if people starved to death. This is just a repetitive thing that happens over and over and over again. If this nightmare program is to be stopped, the change of direction must come from the U.S., but the situation is paradoxical. Plan Colombia has lost its original key planners and proponents, such as Major Andrew Messing and Congressman Gilman.

26:44 The opinions offered in news stories on Plan Colombia continue to range from mild criticism to moral outrage. The plan currently seems to have no vocal defenders outside of Washington's bureaucracy. Should the critics take heart from this consensus? No. Plan Colombia's proponents originally projected a successful campaign on the model of El Salvador, a dirty war in which Washington delegated the killing of insurgents to U.S.-trained local forces.

27:14 death squads, many of them trained in Taiwan as well. Today, more and more observers are seeing the analogies to America's failed adventure in Vietnam. The tactics are similar from military advisors, high-tech listening posts, defoliation programs, riverboats, helicopters, and assaults on the countryside on civilians. Equally similar are the interests and lobbies.

27:42 the helicopter and herbicide industries, the oil companies, and the Pentagon seeking a new base in the area. One hears the same geopolitical rhetoric about sea lanes and natural resources, professional think tanks like Rand reinforce it with their policy papers, and there is the same ominous background of deep-rooted links to local drug kingpins just like there was in Vietnam. All of the analogies with Vietnam,

28:12 and there are many, derived from one fundamental similarity. Demands from major U.S. oil corporations for increased security have led the U.S. government still further into a de facto alliance with these forces and their involvement in drug trafficking. In 1960, the 1960s threat to U.S. oil companies came in Indonesia, not necessarily Vietnam.

28:40 But it is clear that the strategy thinking for Southeast Asia epitomized the so-called domino theory, which gave them the pretense to be in all of Southeast Asia, not just Vietnam. While the focus and the major effort was on Vietnam, it was kind of like the shiny object because they were deploying special ops paramilitary forces all over Southeast Asia.

29:08 for the oil companies, primarily in Indonesia, which if you recall, not a couple of years after Kennedy's assassination, they knock off, get rid of Sukarno and put in Suharto. And we've covered all of that. And thus pointing at the deep politics of oil and drugs, I don't mean to suggest that other interests and lobbies are irrelevant, but drugs and oil have a lot in common.

29:37 especially the power of influence. Insufficiently recognized about the plan, Columbia is the role of the U.S. oil companies in lobbying for an increased U.S. military commitment in the area. Since Bush launched the Adrian Initiative in 1989, Columbia oil production has risen almost 80%.

30:04 Most of the exports have gone to the U.S., making Columbia the eighth largest supplier to the U.S. I have written elsewhere how in 1963, an employee of Ciccone Oil Company, Ciccone Mobile Oil Company, William Henderson, made a concerted public appeal for a final commitment to Southeast Asia, meaning that we might be prepared to fight at a minimum.

30:32 Corporations have waged a concerted campaign for that same engagement in Columbia. Quote, in 1996, BP, Amoco, and Occidental joined Enron Corporation, which we've written a lot about, a Houston-based energy firm and other corporations to form the U.S.-Columbia Business Partnership. Since then, backed by hefty oil...

31:01 industry donations and political candidates, the partnership has lobbied hard for an increased aid. Lawrence Merriage, M-E-R-I-A-G-E, Occidental's public affairs vice president, not only pushed for Plan Colombia last year, but urged a House subcommittee to extend military aid to the nation's north to augment security for oil development.

31:32 Military aid for oil development operations. Yeah. And finding Enron among this group should be no surprise to anyone. Because I think we made a fairly good case that Enron was just another CIA, and I wouldn't call them a front company, but...

31:59 I'm going to call them associated money grab. Then they go bankrupt and everybody else is left hanging except for them. Thus, the ultimate concern of some is to protect what is on the ground for as long as possible, even if there's no hope of winning. Winning has nothing to do with this. In Colombia,

32:26 As once in Vietnam, we see again the prevailing consensus among experts that what is now being done is doomed to fail and cannot possibly meet its proclaimed objectives. Because their only objective is to take the shit that they want out of Colombia. People think in military terms and these people do not.

32:51 the military's speed bump on their way to getting what they want. We have seen the large-scale dysfunctional policies, like the so-called war on drugs, are not amenable to rational criticism. They tend instead to metastasize from a policy into a bureaucratic habit, a habit in which failure predictably becomes the case for escalation.

33:21 Every single time, six months into the 2000 Bush administration, warnings that used a successive escalation in Vietnam, according to Rand Corporation, read that as CIA, the U.S. is confronting a deteriorating military situation in Colombia that could present the Bush administration with the choice of retreat or deeper involvement. Yeah, yeah.

33:49 And we just hate to lose. So we commit more forces with no ability. And that's when they tug on the patriotism. And if you're a naysayer, you hate the military. OK, so you're left with no choice. It could escalate its commitment to include perhaps an operational role for U.S. forces or scale down with, of course, the associated loss of credibility. And no one wants that.

34:23 Another similarity is the apparent management of the U.S. news reporting out of Colombia. Until September 1998, it was normal in North America press to refer to Colombia as a narco-democracy. My LexisNexis index did 69 uses of the term between 1992 and 1998, including 7 in 1998. This is only appropriate for a company where 20 years

34:53 where for 20 years the drug cartels had contributed to the electoral campaigns of presidential candidates and frequently to all of them. Since the introduction of Plain Columbia, however, the term narco-democracy has vanished from the North American press. Columbia is still presented as a state under siege, but the enemy now is the FARC, which General McCaffrey called narco-gorillas.

35:26 No, the narco-gorillas are the ones General McCaffrey's forces are supporting. Still another similarity in the endless repeated promise that no matter what happens, the U.S. role in the field will remain an advisory one. Bullshit. This is being said even as the U.S. is supplementing its official advisory deployment.

35:51 from 250 to 500 with additional personnel from two private military Department of Defense contracts, DynCorp and MPRI military professional resources. Now, hold on just one second. What did I do with my book? I had, oh, shoot. I don't know what I did with my spiral. I had them.

36:21 They're actually in that chart that we went over that. Remember the breakdown we did of SAIC and DynCorp and all of those. I had written out. What did I do with that? I just had it last night because we were checking on. Oh, well, it's under my computer. Hold on just a second. Let me grab it. Yeah. So I wanted to point out.

36:53 where those MPRI, there's DynCorp. Because what you find out is when you look at all of these, what appears to be separate companies, they all end up being owned by the same four or five people. And I'm not seeing them.

37:23 quickly. So I'm going to go ahead and go on, but I know they're on the chart somewhere because I remember them. Military Professional Resources, Inc. is the name of the company. So again, you have the international syndicate deployed down there in the forms of big oil, but also the private military contractors all getting rich off of trafficking drugs to the United States and killing us.

37:53 And then implicating the worse it gets, the more military people they want down there. So then we have more dead bodies of American military. This practice of outsourcing sensitive work to the same corporations was practiced earlier in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. The personnel are, in fact, drawn from the U.S. armed forces because, of course, the majority of the people that they hire in these private military companies are.

38:23 prior military. That's something that we've noted often. All right, there is another analogy here too with the case of Air America pilots in Indochina. One neglected reason for the bureaucratic inertia in Vietnam that led to repeated escalations was precisely the motive to supply business for underutilized support services, notably military air transport.

38:54 Then and now, Pentagon's strategic position requires the maintenance of contractual ties to private air transport lines that can switch from civilian to military air freight when needed. An otherwise foolish escalation in Laos by the CIA and Pentagon in 1959 makes more bureaucratic sense when you see it against contemporary threats of the main air carrier, Pan Am at the time, which was being used by the CIA, to scale back its international operations.

39:24 if traffic other than normal civilian traffic doesn't become available. Pan Am's crisis was quickly solved by the ensuing Laotian airlift. In other words, they were having fiscal problems. So, hey, we just created this need over here to ferry drugs around and we're going to pick our favorite airline to come over here and ferry drugs around. And by doing so, we eliminate their financial crisis.

39:53 Plan Colombia has played a similar role in restructuring Southern Air Transport, which declared bankruptcy in September 1998. Southern Air Transport had utilized considerable profits from the Persian Gulf War in 1990, just eight years before that, but was unable to survive from the civilian business thereafter. According to bankruptcy court records,

40:20 The Air Cargo Division of Southern Air was bleeding red throughout the 90s, a loss of $24 million in 95. And in 97, Southern Air's Air Cargo Division lost money every month, more than $39 million for a year. But in 1999, they saw two other cargo airlines competing with SAT's successor, Southern Air.

40:48 to gain access to Southern Air Transport's designated Columbia cargo. The tempo of the increase in the drug war was driving business for the Air affiliates. A quote, Air cargo executives from around the globe had been invoking Latin America like a mantra for the last two years as one of the most promising areas in their industry.

41:16 The optimism was muted at times due to the volatile situation in some countries, but overall, it has steadily gathered momentum. Today, with traditional buoyancy routes around the Pacific showing deteriorating yields, the region is even more regarded as an emerging El Dorado for air freight. In other words, we've moved the drug trafficking from Southeast Asia to Latin America. That's it in a nutshell.

41:47 Plan Colombia had been a similar bonanza for the Pentagon's outsourcing training teams with firms like DynCorp and MPRI. Both corporations have a history of airlift and training contracts for the U.S. from Korea to Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo. With the decline in U.S. engagement in the Balkans, Colombia became the new focal point. DynCorp's five-year contract with the State Department for Colombia

42:16 amounted to 170 million dollars. Those who remember Vietnam in the 60s know that the muted contract requirements of the war business will outweigh vocal warning in newspaper op-eds in determining future commitments. We have also learned from Vietnam that the risk of unilateral U.S. escalation increase when there's a real prospect for negotiated solutions.

42:48 The more solutions they have, the more committed to violence they become, such as we have seen with the renewal of talks between President Pastrana and the FARC. 35 years ago, I called this phenomenon the politics of escalation. Already, a cogently argued article has depicted the analogous pattern of the U.S. buildup in Colombia. Since 1950, the U.S. has

43:17 extricated itself without pain from only two unwinnable situations, Somalia and Lebanon. And in neither case did the Pentagon risk its credibility. After 40 years of active involvement in Colombia, it's hard to think that it would make the U.S. voluntarily pull back. Overwhelming common sense has clearly proven insufficient. It has nothing to do with common sense.

43:45 The increasing tide of international disapproval from Europe to Brazil has had no effect. The alienation of nearby governments, notably Ecuador and Venezuela, has not mattered either, nor have the cautious admonitions of pundits or editorials. This escalating disaster is likely sooner or later to produce one or more.

44:11 analogies with Vietnam, the growing disaffection and opposition of Americans. Even the Pentagon should have no interest in seeing a reemergence of widespread social alienation, the Vietnam syndrome. Yet it is clear by now the U.S. cannot, over a long period of time, involve itself in warfare and terrorism abroad without threatening its peace and security at home.

44:36 It's fair to argue the international drug trafficking networks in Colombia and elsewhere present a significant threat to U.S. security. As exports have noted, drug trafficking routes can be harnessed to more lethal purposes, such as transporting contract assassins across international boundaries or smuggling missiles, atomic mines, and warheads.

45:05 to terrorist nations and groups, which is exactly what happened. With the passage of time, we see more and more evidence of a collaboration between Colombian and Venezuelan traffickers, the Italian and Turkish mafias, and smugglers in the Far East and former Soviet Union. There are reports from time to time of global summit meetings to coordinate not only drug but also money laundering.

45:31 but the smuggling of illegal immigrants, prostitutes, and counterfeit money, which was what BCCI was all about. They hosted all of those meetings via bank meetings. Unfortunately, in Colombia, we have not targeted the largest enemy, though its role has increased. FARC is still more marginal to this international threat.

45:58 than the CIA assets and their successors who are center in all of it. This country's perception of the problem has been so perverted by five decades of false U.S. propaganda about communist drug trafficking, propaganda designed to bail U.S. assistance and protection to the traffickers, the new onslaught of hype.

46:27 about the narco-guerrilla menace is only the latest effort from those who have not outgrown the worst habits of the Cold War to resist them will take concerted efforts from groups outside the United States government, which of course never happens because we're still in the middle of a mired mess when it comes to misinformation or disinformation, as the case may be. Okay.

46:59 So that's the end of that chapter. And so now that we're on kind of a chapter basis, I'm going to go ahead and call it a day with that one. And we will pick up with chapter seven as part nine tomorrow. So did you have something, Bridget? Well, just again, the stuff that they were dropping to. Yeah.

47:30 Earlier, you had mentioned the stuff that they did over in Vietnam that they were doing also in Colombia. Like napalm. Right. Yeah. Yeah. The Agent Orange. And it's just, I mean, it's like they could have done this other way. And they did it in a truly horrific, intentional way. But it's all about hair. Yeah.

47:59 They don't want to do it in another way. They want to terrorize the people into submission. Right. And that's, I guess, I just wanted to make sure everybody understood this, that it wasn't like, okay, we're going to do this to wipe out their crops. They could have wiped out their crops without hurting people. They did it to kill three birds with one stone, to terrorize people, to starve them to, you know, multiple different levels of evil, you know?

48:30 Correct. That's exactly right. And unless they arrest, my opinion, because, you know, we talked about shuttering the doors of the CIA. The people also, there has to be the accountability. There has to be because they just, whenever they squash them out, like the USAID people, they're just going to reform in another area like we've seen in the past when during our research by changing the name. There was, what was it, the world?

49:04 Wildlife Foundation previously actually had a different name. But once they got caught, they reform under a different name. Same board, same people. You know, these people need to be. But that's why we're out here trying to get everybody to recognize the patterns. You've got to follow the people. It's not just follow the money, follow the people.

49:29 Right. Craig Mutley over on Rumble asked if there's a direct link to our files. On X, my entire pin post is a link to previous spaces, my sub stack, and all of the threads that I do. Bridget rolls up into a thread reader. So if you click on the thread reader link, it takes you to all of them.

49:58 um on rumble um she has segregated them all into the different playlists so my pin post on x is the best resource to find any of my material other than rumble and i also have a sub stack that she lists over on my pin post so my pin post is the best place to go and it also has the merchandise some coffee mugs and t-shirts and yeah

50:26 New medallions, yeah. That I am so bad at marketing. We have coffee cups that says Operation Gladio. As a matter of fact, I'll show you on Rumble. They are totally awesome. And our coin that we had minted for a challenge coin, which I have right here. And then the t-shirts are over on the store link. All along. Go ahead.

51:05 Can you hear him, Bridget? No. Hey, all along, I'm going to drop you down and bring you back up, okay? Sunshine, did you have anything? I did earlier. It was during your opening and everything, but it just had to do with some of the people that you were talking about. I was going to say I had some contacts if there was a way that you wanted to contact him, but we can message or whatever.

51:38 Oh, I, I can contact him. I'm not going to. Okay. Okay. Because I, I mean, I know Sun Tzu. Um, I, I know all of the people that are around there. I mean, um, but if they want to interview me, um, they know how to get ahold of me. So, yeah, I was going to say Mary, Mary Flynn lives by me and I like did some like volunteering for her and then for, you know, Mike Crocks too.

52:06 I have his wife's number as well. So that, that was just, I don't feel right pushing myself on these people. I mean, are we make the case of what we have and they act real, real excited about it until I think they talk to people. And I, I frankly think they are, they don't want the controversy or whatever. I don't want to put words in their mouth. It all ends up the same way. That's just, I'll leave it at that.

52:34 It's just your information is so well done. I mean, your research alone, like you said, nobody's done the research on this the way that you have. No, no, I agree. All along, go ahead. Still can't hear them. Sorry, all along, we're going to maybe have to, you may have to leave the space and come back in or try it again because we can't hear you. Stellar, how are you? Oh, Stellar's still just a listener. Go ahead, SR.

53:16 Thank you, Colonel, and thank everybody for attending. We really appreciate it. And I'm ecstatic about one million views. What can I say? You deserve it, Colonel. That just like blew me away. And I'd never even looked at that. But yesterday when I clicked on Rumble to open up the space, instead of clicking on Rumble Studio, which is like the third link down.

53:45 I clicked on my profile and it took me over to like, it's called like a dashboard and it has all time views. And it was like 900, 999,100 or something like that. I'm like, oh, yeah, that's a lot. And I'm like, wow. And we get.

54:12 a couple 3,000 views on every one of our videos over the course of a couple of days. And I'm like, oh, well, Wednesday, you know, in time for Apple Warriors show and our show on Wednesday, we should be at a million. And so when I logged on today, I went right to that and we were already over. I mean, we're almost at 2,000 over it already. So yeah, so cool. That's just awesome. The other thing I wanted to say is these people that keep want you to.

54:41 At least join them for a conversation, you know, and interview you. I've come to the conclusion that what's really happening here is, yeah, they've only heard one or two things. And then when they get into your your Rumble channel or they get into your threads or they get into your X space and they start seeing what's really going on. I think at that point they say, wow, this is way too much for me to handle.

55:13 It's going to take much more of my time to do this and they don't want to devote that time. That's what I think. It doesn't take them any time. All they have to do is provide a forum and ask a few questions. That's all they do anyway. They don't do anything in preparation for it. They just provide you a forum and let you talk. And I just think it's the material.

55:43 Let's go to all along, see if his mic's working. Nope. I wonder if his mic is reversed like we had that problem before with on and off, where red was on and white was off. I don't know. Guru, did you have something?

56:11 Yeah, your space is getting hammered. I've had to grab a mic just to stay in here, Colonel, which is not unusual for me. But, yeah, you're getting hammered, Vogue, at the moment. Great to hear about your analytics in the back door of your Rumble channel there. And, yeah, keep pushing it out, guys. I'm looking at those things, Colonel. I've got another appointment today, and then I'll be talking to people actually this morning to do with those couple of interviews. So we will get back to you very soon, my dear. Yeah, Guru's got it.

56:40 I'm telling you, there are some people that you can just tell when you first meet them. They have no fear. Guru's definitely one of those people. Yeah, well, fear, you know, like I said, guys, you know, it was funny, you know, when they got, they sent 20 counterterrorism squad down here to my boat to arrest me, you know, a couple of years ago. And it was really funny because I was on the footpath. I was going for a morning walk, do some push-ups and sit-ups and that.

57:11 And next minute I saw cops coming from everywhere. But, you know, I didn't even have one. I didn't even flinch a muscle. You know, I saw them all starting to surround me. And I looked up to the heavens and went, hey, Lord, you never told me about this, man. But anyway, wherever you take me, I'm willing to go. And that's the attitude, guys. I'm not saying I'm anything special. I'm 63. I've got a lot of wisdom. And that's how you do it, man. You don't go in the belly of the whale for three days and get spat out on the beach.

57:40 Okay? You do what you're told to do or what you're asked to do. And, yeah, that's how I play the game, guys. And, therefore, I have no fear. You know, the fear is my grandchildren not having a life, my kids not having a life, this beautiful planet or whatever it is that God gave us coming to an end. You know, that's my fear. So, yeah, I have no fear in anything else.

58:05 That's exactly the way I feel. And that's kind of the way I opened the show. There's so many things on this journey that has been divine providence. Like you feel like it's not even in your control. I was explaining, I don't know if you was here, but I was explaining to everybody that when I come across the World Anti-Communist League.

58:33 At the same time, I found the thing called the Asian Foundation because they basically had a lot of overlap as far as the issues and involvement and stuff like that and what they were working on, all being part of the CIA front, by the way, in Asia. And for reasons that, you know, seemed logical to me based on what we were doing on the Alpha Warrior show.

58:58 I decided to cover just so that we could cover those types of regional things that the CIA sets up, the World Anti-Communist League, because it dovetailed into this cast of characters that we had just previously addressed. And obviously now, looking back on it, because someone yesterday morning had mentioned the Asia Foundation, I go, yeah, yeah, I got some material on that. I'll dig it out.

59:26 And then last night I was on a space that it came up again. I'm like, OK, I got it, Lord. I got it. I'll put this shit together first thing in the morning. And then I've released the first three. I'll release the fourth one after the show. But it basically was research. I didn't have it all written up and put together with the screenshots and stuff that I'm putting out now. But I spent the morning doing that.

59:54 Because now, obviously, God told me twice yesterday, it's time to do that. So I did it. And I agree with you. This was put on us to do. So I don't really have a choice but to keep doing it. And I know I've been told to keep doing it until it gets broad enough coverage that it creates a life of its own. Once that happens.

1:00:23 I feel like I can fade to the background, start being a grandma again, and get my normal life back. Because everything that I love to do is on hold. Everything. I have not lived a normal day for the last two years because of this. I am joyfully retired. I basically abandoned my husband with the car shows that we loved going and doing.

1:00:51 Maybe do one every month. And honestly, I miss all of that. But obviously, I'm not going to not do this. It is a mission that I was given to do. And he fully supports me and fully understands that. But I do have another life somewhere. You did right. You did right. I've done the same thing. I've kept my children and my grandchildren away from me a fair bit for their own safety.

1:01:21 You know what I mean? And those are some of the decisions that you've got to make, guys, when you want to step up onto the platform and go, fuck you. You know what I mean? We're going to tell the truth and we don't care what comes at us. But, yeah, I've had to make those decisions, Colonel, and they hurt, man. Yes. They really hurt. But you've got to do it. Yes. We're in a war. We're in a war. Yes, we are. Absolutely agree. Stellar.

1:01:46 Well, as usual, as you guys are talking about different things, you were talking about Enron and then Enron. I lived in Kennet where Enron, they had a big thing there, too. And then it turned into Exelon and that's still in business. And it just seems like it's the same playbook over and over again. Hi. Just blown away by all these shysters. Yeah. Yeah, we keep hearing the same companies over and over again. All along, you want to try your speaker again?

1:02:20 I hate that he can't make it work. All along, are you there? Can you hear us? And we miss you, SR. One of the best divine interventions that I remember through this journey, Colonel, I hope you will recount because some people I'm sure didn't hear it. And that was running into the guy whose family owned the hotel. Oh, my gosh. All right.

1:02:55 Yes, we have to tell that story. OK, so hold on just a second. I got to look something up real quick. Let's see. Oh, and did you guys notice? I didn't know if you because you've been doing this space, but cross that hurricane thing is being declassified. Yes, I saw that earlier. I can't wait for all the details on that to come out. I agree. OK.

1:03:31 So speaking of, you guys know that my husband has a 68 Camaro. We have a friend of ours that owns the local, well he owns several actually, Midas shop that's like a mile from our house. And my husband had a few things that he wanted to tweak on the car and he took it up there. And so he was up there quite often for a period of time.

1:03:59 And talking with him, my husband had shared with him that we had renovated a bunch of houses over the first like 10 years that my husband and I were dating and then eventually got married. And so one of the times he was up there, he mentioned he asked my husband about private financing and how that whole process worked and if any of our contacts were still doing it and blah, blah, blah.

1:04:30 Of course, I'm knee deep in Operation Gladio and everybody knows that Italy is like front and center of everything Operation Gladio. And so my husband comes home just nonchalantly, as he always does, and says, so does it need any of those contacts that you were calling to see if they were still in business? Because he put up the collateral of.

1:04:59 his family hotel in Italy. And I'm like, wait a minute, he's Italian? And he goes, yeah, yeah, he's Italian. And I'm like, and he has a hotel in Italy? Why? I mean, I've met the guy, you know, a multitude of times. I'm like, how come that we don't know that? I mean, that's kind of an important thing, right? And he's like, I don't know. I don't know. But I'm like, so where's the hotel?

1:05:29 So he tells me and I was just looking for the name of the. Oh, I was looking for the name of the island. I'm not going to find it. So anyway, he names the island. I'm like, wait a minute. Is that the island like in where Otto Scorsese scoops in and rescues Mussolini? And John looked at me, he goes.

1:05:59 No. And I'm like, I'm telling you, it's the island where Otto Skorzeny comes in on paragliders, rescues Mussolini down a ski lift, takes off, and they steal some ships. And I'm like, oh, gosh. We had just covered it. I mean, not, what, a week before? Maybe even within days. I mean, it was crazy. Because, of course.

1:06:28 I thought, you know, I was stationed in Italy for three years. I traveled all over Italy. And I, again, oh, Ponza, that's the name of the island, Ponza, P-O-N-Z-A. And I never heard this story. And I'm like, so when he told me the name of the hotel, I looked it up and it was like Ponza. And I'm like, oh, son of a bitch, that's the island that.

1:06:53 Um, Otto Scorzini rescued Mussolini. So of course my husband goes down to pick up his car and I go running in the shop and I'm like, David, David, your, your family's from Ponza. And he looked at me, he goes, how do you know that? And I said, John told me, he goes, I didn't tell him where that hotel was. And I said, I said, your, your family is from the Island where Otto Scorzini rescued Mussolini. And he looked at me and his mouth just dropped open. He goes, how do you know that?

1:07:23 And I'm like, because I'm working on a project. I just was talking about this like three days ago. And I said, what hotel was it? And he goes, the hotel where he rescued me on top of the mountain. That whole thing belongs to this guy's family. And he goes, yeah. He says, I don't know if you covered the story, but.

1:07:47 They stole a bunch of ships. And I said, yeah, a lot of the ground people, they couldn't get back out in the. And so they left via ship. And he goes, yeah, they kidnapped his grandfather and left him chained to the ship in the middle of the ocean, the Mediterranean. And he died as part of that whole operation. And that hotel estate in the family that whole time. And so.

1:08:17 My mind was so blown standing in his garage, listening to the story of his family having lived through basically that island being taken over by the Black Prince Borghese, who basically was protecting Mussolini in order for Hitler to come pick him up. And then, of course, they escorted him back to...

1:08:46 the Nazis. And that's where he hung out. So anyway, again, this has been such a small world project for me of continually stumbling across these quote unquote coincidences, which is God's way of kind of eye view of patting me on the back saying, keep going. Renee, go ahead. Hey, Colonel. Hey, everybody. Can you hear me? Yeah.

1:09:14 Okay, great. So I have some stuff to report from yesterday. When you were going over this book and you were mentioning Southern Air, and I spoke up and shared that I had a family member who worked for Southern Air, so I spoke with them last night. So I have some information. I don't know if it's considered, it's probably not super juicy, but it's some info I think you may find intriguing.

1:09:43 So this is what I have. He worked the late 1980s until up till 2010. So not only Southern Air, which was based out of Miami, he also worked, did contracts. And sometimes they were, he had a non-disclosure agreement and sometimes he did not to sign.

1:10:08 When I tried to get more details, that's when he said he couldn't say anything. So, okay, more airlines. So Miami Air, AV Atlantic, which was based out of Fort Lauderdale and Savannah. And he also said that AV Atlantic sometimes flew the Dominicana out of Dominican Republic and Avianca planes.

1:10:35 out of Columbia. You know, they would, I guess, I don't know, go down there, get on those commercial airlines or whatever those airlines and use those. Yeah, those are all cargo. Keep going. Okay. He pronounces it Colada, but I looked it up and it looks like Kalita, but I don't know. Kalita Air, Colada Air, based out of Ypsilanti, Michigan. Capital Cargo, which is based out of Orlando.

1:11:05 And then I asked, of course, where did you fly to? And there's a lot. It's almost kind of like, where did you not fly to? I got a lot of Air Force bases, Honduras, Honduras, Jose Enrique Sotocano, Cherry Point, North Carolina, the Marine Corps Air Station, U.S. South Com, Panama, Howard Air Force Base.

1:11:33 Guantanamo Bay, where he would pick up people at Andrews Air Force Base and would bring down terrorist response teams, interrogators, U.S. Marshals. To get most. Yep. Yeah, that's not surprising because Andrews actually has a, the reserve unit on the backside of Andrews has an aircraft that's one of those that stands ready.

1:12:02 for the FBI nationwide response. Like if they have like go bags and they jump on the aircraft there and take them to any hotspot, like that's where they left from to go to Waco, that type of thing. So yeah, keep going. And then you'll probably relate to this, Naples Air Force Base, Aviano Air Force Base in Northern Italy, Frankfurt,

1:12:31 Reinman Air Force? Reinman. Yeah. He said through Miami Air, they went, he remembers once they went to Turkey and that was a particularly interesting evening as they, when they arrived, they were planning to stay the night and I guess whoever greeted them brought them suits to change into.

1:13:01 gave them a night to remember. He said it was like fit for Kings. Did he go into, did he say where he landed in Turkey? No apologies, but I'll, I can find that out for you. Sorry. I didn't, I didn't realize like I'm not on top of all that.

1:13:23 900 it's just overwhelming yeah i can yeah seeing as far as turkey goes because obviously if you're flying a cargo obviously turkey was big into drugs as well um if you're flying a cargo aircraft into turkey you could be taking out gray wolf they're um gladio assassins um so if i knew kind of where he left at okay turkey that would be awesome okay cool yeah i'll find that out yeah

1:13:51 Because I asked him if he knew about Operation Gladio and the Gray Wolves when he brought up Turkey and he did not. Right. And then, of course, Central and South America, I asked him to start naming countries and he said pretty much every one. Yeah. And he said in, you know, in Colombia, Medellin, Bogota, Cartagena.

1:14:16 And he he did share that. Oh, Dominican Republic and Haiti, Port-au-Prince and Panama. Those were probably the most naturally. And Granada, he and he said that sometimes they would do night missions into Central, South America or wherever, and they would.

1:14:42 to create blackouts. And so they would land in the pitch black and unload and reload. And he said that was pretty wild. And then he did mention he was in like Bosnia, Albania, the Balkans. So that's pretty much what I got out of it. And then finally, I was kind of like, well, how did you get these jobs or whatever? And he said a lot of this came through century management.

1:15:13 He said, you may be aware of that. Okay. Yeah. I wasn't. I tried looking it up and then I said I couldn't find anything. And he said, because it's special operations via the military. Is that correct? Well, it's a proprietary company. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Got it. So there you go. But if you have, if you'd like, I can.

1:15:39 I will happily DM you this, or if you have more questions, you know, I can try and get some more. Awesome. Thank you. It's our pleasure. SR 71. Thank you, Colonel. I got two potential islands for you. Ponza and La Maddalena. It's Ponza. Yeah, it's definitely Ponza. Okay. There we narrowed it down. Thank you.

1:16:11 Yeah, as soon as I pulled up the map, as soon as I saw it, I recognized it because I know exactly where it's at. Hopefully one day soon I'll be able to get over there. He kept telling me, oh, you can stay there for free. It's no problem. Blah, blah, blah. I'm like, yeah, I got to get there first. But anyway, not real fond of flying right now, but I'm sure I'm still on some list somewhere.

1:16:41 I don't know that I'd want to stay there, Colonel, given all the stuff that's gone down. Maybe too many ghosts hanging around. Oh, he showed me pictures. I mean, obviously, it's notorious. But basically, it's just all of the original families that live there. But he vacations there every year. So I told John we need to find out the next time he's going and go while he's there. So you have somebody to kind of show you around.

1:17:11 um introduce you to everything that's the best way to see um italy is having someone there to escort you around that knows all of the background information on everything colonel towner if you do plan on going to italy i'll see if my friend can meet you he used to be really good friends with the berlusconi family um and he could tell you all kinds of stories from world war ii forward too and he's from like the florence milan area oh that would be cool you know that area is beautiful

1:17:42 Yeah, I love going to France. I have so many friends over there in Italy and stuff like that because of my escapades in my past. But yeah, you're right. That's the only way that you get to really see all the stuff. I mean, when we would spend our summers down there and stuff like that because they lived in Cannes at the time. And I don't know how many times we would go traveling all over the place and they would take us to all these like little faraway places and like the little villages that the trains and buses don't even get to. Right.

1:18:13 Yeah. And he's got history and you would love his stories because I'm sure that people that he knew and grew up with are probably, I mean, probably all of this stuff. I mean, crap, you just totally knocked my socks off with everything. Well, and if you've never had a conversation with a like, no kidding, real Italian, not like three generations in the United States, Italian, they have like.

1:18:41 centuries of dirt on people um it's amazing um the amount of information that they know because again mafia has been so prevalent over there where it's like kind of like the telephone game everybody knows everything about everybody else it's like las vegas how it used to be when i grew up here it's the same exact thing sorry but it was well there was a lot of italian mafia there yeah

1:19:13 But, yeah, when he would tell me stories, like, the area that he grew up, his mother would tell him stories about World War II and how they used to hide the Americans, like, you know, for liberation and stuff like that. Just the different stories. But then he started talking about, like, the Berlusconis. But this is before I was awake, before I had my Gladio glasses. So I was just in awe over the stories, you know, because his son, their son and he.

1:19:41 were like best friends and so they were in um you know media and stuff also so he was in show business but he would tell me these stories of these different people and some of the names sounded kind of familiar but it was just you're right it was like it takes you back in time and you just kind of imagine what it was like you know but yeah there's a lot of stuff that they i mean insane this stuff yeah all right i don't see any more hands bridget you see any hands all right

1:20:16 All right, guys, I'm going to go through the rest of that document so I can just highlight the important parts. And we'll do a follow up this evening on that document that we did last night at eight o'clock. And I'll do it as close to eight o'clock as I can. So everybody can tune in or rewatch it later, whichever works for you guys. So we're just going to continue the document that we started yesterday.

1:20:47 And things are really, really happening really, really well. And even Trump today with the monetary system and all that stuff that's going through. I mean, there's so much happening so quickly. I think it'll be very soon before we get our Treasury notes. Yay! Goodbye, fiat. There is a lot happening, that's for sure. It is never since the minute he took office. There has not been a dull moment yet.

1:21:15 Love our president. Love his cabinet. Let's get her done. And love you, Colonel Tanner, Bridget, SR. All of you guys are so amazing. Thank you, Stellar. So are you. Quite the team. Yep. Awesome. All right, guys. Take care.
