0:00 Okay. If you guys could repost the space, I'd appreciate it. I'm going to get us going live over here on Rumble. And we're going to start. And good afternoon, everybody. Absolutely. It's 80 degrees again. Yay! Yay! I'm telling you, it seems like it was the longest, hardest winter ever. I don't know why.

0:33 But it just seemed like it. It's 86 here right now. Bragger. You always got to one-up me, you know. But how was that deer sausage, by the way? I just snacked on it for lunch. That's amazing. I told you. Crazy, right? Yes. Thank you very much. I'm pretty picky when it comes to deer sausage. My ex was a big hunter.

1:04 Had it every year up in Pennsylvania. They made a thing because I don't like spice at all. And they made a thing that the meat processor up there called summer sausage. And it was amazing. It had just a tad bit of maple syrup in it. And it made it amazing. So it's pretty hard to surpass.

1:34 Pennsylvania venison and especially this particular meat processor because obviously generationally it's like in the heart of the upper state Pennsylvania where they have massive bucks and everybody they have like the first day of deer season off is a school holiday because they're just fanatics about hunting and so yeah it's kind of hard to beat that but Bridget beat it.

2:04 I know, and that's why I was saying when, you know, we've done deer sausage for years, and it took us years and years to find him, and he's done it, well, he's professional, and it's just incredible. It's just, yeah, amazing stuff. All right, so we're going to get started. Just to let you guys know, I just posted something.

2:33 um that it's a long post and it's about this chick that's in the middle of the signal scandal um and people kept saying um that uh well hold on i gotta pull it because it's actually hilarious um can con um said is it odd that she was before congress yesterday as well purely a coincidence

3:02 That this Catherine Mayer, who is the NPR CEO that obviously is part of the CIA. You guys, what I just posted, even for the battle-hardened Gladio folks, is going to sound crazy to you. She was the CEO of a thing called Web Summit.

3:30 She was the director on the Signal Foundation. Now, I also want you guys to notice a pattern. All of these CIA-ish organizations like Wikipedia's parent group is Wikimedia Foundation. And we just heard Signal Foundation. Now, most legitimate organizations,

4:02 Don't come out of foundations. Right. So you're already suspect. She's a member of the CFR. She was involved in UNICEF, which has so many bad things about it. It's not even funny.

4:18 She was part of the Democrat side of the NED that we talk about all the time, the IRI that John McCain ran. She worked on the Democrat side at the National Democrat Institution, which, of course, does CIA regime changes. She worked at the World Bank, which, of course, lends money to the CIA's installed dictators that they can embezzle back to the CIA.

4:41 politicians and his family, which allows them to be able to leave the debt then to the citizens. And they auction off the national parks to the world wildlife. You guys know the circle. So she's part of that circle. She also was involved in a thing called Access Now. She's part of the Atlantic Council, which is basically a CIA front. And she worked at the U.S. State Department's Foreign Affairs Policy Board.

5:11 which was a coordination for the CIA as part of Gladio. So just chalked with CIA-ish. Now, it gets even better. Her dad worked at IBM, which is notorious for having CIA agents embedded in their international area to do CIA spying around the world, corporate spying, because IBM goes into every corporation all over the world because they are, quote unquote, computer.

5:40 solutions. So they can do massive espionage under the guise of being an employee of IBM. His obituary, I'm going to quote it, the family then decamped to Saint-Germain-du-Prez in France as a result of their father's work at IBM, where family lore contends he may or may not have been a post-war spy.

6:08 Unquote. That's in the man's obituary. I'm going to go ahead and say. That's hysterical. Okay. He was also in Astra, Goldman Sachs, UBS, which again, CIA, and a thing called Castleton Commodities. Her mother just so happens to have been part of the nonprofit called Sandy Hook Promise.

6:40 Oh, my God. Okay, that's just strictly a coincidence. So she's the CEO of Wikimedia Foundation, and they were funded by a thing called Sunlight Foundation, which, of course, you know, because of their oxymoron means it's dark. It was founded and funded in 2007.

7:08 With the help of all of the typical CIA front foundations, Soros, Omnimar, Ford, Rockefeller, Hewlett, MacArthur's, and a guy by the name of Jimmy Wells. Jimmy Wells hired Catherine in 2018. Catherine claims to have gotten a job in an article written about her where she's quoted frequently. She claimed that she got a job.

7:37 for Madeleine Albright at 11 years old at the UN. I don't even want to know what that job is, but we're just going to go on. She graduated from a language institute in Cairo, Egypt, speaking fluent Arabic. She went to school in Syria in 2004. And I'm going to put quotations.

8:03 around that because I don't think she was actually going to school. I think she was actually an agent at this point. She was also in Lebanon and Tanzania. She did an internship with the CFR and then worked with the Eurasia Group. If this does not scream CIA, I don't know what does. She also worked at HSBC, which we've uncovered massive money laundering. This is the Hong Kong bank that the UK set up.

8:31 for the whole drug operations. She works again for Madeleine Albright at the National Democrat Institute under the National Endowment for Democracy, which is the Democrat version of the IRI. The Access Now entity was financed that she worked for, was financed by the Ford Foundation, which of course is another CIA front.

8:59 And she worked on the Sunlight Foundation board with this guy, Jimmy Wells, who keeps reappearing. So there's another woman that was at the Access now at the same time named Reagan McDonald. She moves on from there and becomes the European Digital Right board member. And of course, that's the one that's censoring everybody.

9:30 And I said, since Jimmy seems to be a handler of sorts because he keeps coming up wherever he's at, I looked into him. He's from Huntsville, Indiana. And he's known for lots of interesting people around the military CIA presence in Huntsville.

9:56 He's an Alabama guy that goes to Chicago to work in finance. And apparently his parents have no wealth at all, like nothing. And he ends up, you know, this extremely well-off guy. He goes to get his PhD at Indiana University, but drops out.

10:24 So he goes from having no money at all, basically. And he's in private schools the entire time at like very expensive private schools in Alabama. And then goes on to not just a bachelor's degree and not just a master's degree, but a PhD with no apparent money. And like I said, he ends up in Chicago working again in commodities.

10:54 Like her dad. And he ends up founding a company. He does some gaming kind of stuff. You know, because that's what finance majors do. And gets together with two other guys. Both of which have their own stories. But I ran out of time. And formed the company called BOMIS. B-O-M-I-S. And it just so happens that BOMIS.

11:25 transfers all of its assets to Wikipedia, to that Wikimedia Foundation. So it basically transforms into the Wikimedia Foundation. But interestingly enough, before it did that, it was a porno site. They had a thing called Bomus Babes and featured all kinds of naked women everywhere on their website.

11:54 That is absolutely disgustingly insane. SR-71, what'd you have? I'll say it for you, Colonel. Today's going to be a bar burner. I can tell it already, but just for you, I'll say it. You can't make this shit up. You definitely can't. All right. So we've got civil air transport, Air America, 1950 to 70.

12:27 He also gives a little prelude because, again, these chapters were kind of basically copied out of his previous book. But he did like a little preface here. And I'm going to read the preface. It says in this chapter, I greatly expand upon what he wrote in his book in 1969 about how the United States via the CIA's proprietary airline.

12:51 first began in Laos to fight what eventually became a second Indochina war from 59 to 75. I have done so for two reasons, one historical and one contemporary. The historical reason is that David Keisner had written, quote, the real roots of the Vietnam War lie in the policies of Eisenhower's administration adopted towards Southeast Asia after 54, unquote.

13:17 the chief of which were policies in Laos that almost unilaterally created a serious crisis. The incoming Kennedy administration diffused this crisis by escalating in Vietnam. In 1969, working from public sources, I attached the blame for a foolishly aggressive and delusional policy in Laos on Air America.

13:39 backed by the CIA and Pentagon hawks, some of who were hoping against government policy to provoke a war with mainland China. And I've argued that's the whole purpose of all of this. Now that a declassified version of an internal State Department record has been released, we learn how little opposition there was to any of these policies anywhere in the Eisenhower administration. And in 1954,

14:10 there was a significant push for the use of atomic weapons to ensure the successful conclusion of their goals. The following conclusion of David Anderson with respect to Vietnam remains equally true if the word Vietnam we substituted for Laos, which basically means it was the same war. As a quote,

14:37 The Eisenhower administration was both the creator and the captive of an illusion in Vietnam. A combination of factors, Cold War, bipolarism, and paranoia, the arrogance of power, cultural and racial chauvinism, blinded U.S. leaders to social, political, historical, and military realities in Vietnam. Eisenhower's foreign policy may have been astute in some areas, but in Vietnam,

15:07 the administration oversimplified and overcommitted, unquote. Yeah, I'm going to say it wasn't astute anywhere, and we've proven that. The root illusion was to think that the brilliant success of the Marshall Plan in restoring the economies of Europe could be replicated in Vietnam and Laos to build nations that had not previously existed. In Laos, the illusion of progress in this respect was just as phony. To quote

15:36 Anderson again, as in Vietnam, and for the same reasons, funds earmarked for development were diverted into military priorities, corruption, and perks for the governing class. And see, I'm going to argue that's the whole reason. We showed that the Marshall Plan, and it's in Paul Williams' book, was touted as development of Europe. It didn't do anything of the sort. Europe was going to develop itself.

16:06 The Marshall Plan primarily funded things like Operation Gladio and the reestablishment of the businesses there for the international oligarchs. And that was true in Laos and Vietnam as it related to drugs. This was never about, you know, development. It was never about what was good for the countries. This is 100 percent about what's good for the international syndicate. It says in the case of Laos, the corruption of military.

16:35 defamation of a peace-loving Buddhist nation was further enhanced by reliance on distorted intelligence. Basically, they lied their way in and they lie their way out. His contemporary reason for focusing on this period is the extent to which we see the illusions resurrected. The Dulles Brothers' campaign against neutralism

17:00 in which those who did not stand with the United States were viewed as standing against it, strikes a tone of naive arrogance that is again being heard from high places. Those who think that we can achieve a regime change in Iraq should be required to study the disastrous and counterproductive results of the militant U.S. efforts from 59 to 60 as regime change in Laos, a much more smaller and weaker country.

17:28 they already know the history because the history is repeated on purpose. This has nothing to do with relearning. It has everything to do with a pattern that they do repeatedly. The similarity should be apparent to any objective observer. And I would also say, if it's apparent, then it's the plan, not something they just accidentally back into.

17:55 Another less easily recognized is from the realm of deep politics not usually talked about. The United States and Afghanistan in 2002 had just replaced the anti-drug Taliban regime with a new controversial regime, some of whose members have a history of drug trafficking. In Laos in 59 and 60, the US did exactly the same thing. We have reason also to look at the special interests, notably those allied with the

18:23 Air America and the China lobby, and the KMT. That push for delusional policies of 59 and 60, I shall say more in a moment about these interests. For domestic political reasons, they were well represented in the Eisenhower administration. It had first been elected by echoing Nixon's McCarthyite attack on Atchison and the State Department for quote-unquote losing China.

18:51 But we cannot just blame special interests for a paranoia and a delusion of grandeur that afflicted the administration as a whole. It is important to understand why CIA moved so relentlessly to release the legal government of Silvana Foma in Laos with a group of drug trafficking generals. In part, as already mentioned, this derived from a U.S. dislike of leaders who, like Silvana,

19:21 Fuma were neutralist. The U.S. strategy of subversion practiced against Sovana Fuma in Laos was more like that practiced by Shanak in Cambodia and more conspicuously against Sukarno in Indonesia, where the civil air transport provided complete logistical and tactical air support for the Indonesian operation, i.e. regime change.

19:50 But there is also instructive differences between what happened in Laos and what happened in Cambodia and Indonesia. Cambodia, and particularly Indonesia, were countries of interest to U.S. oil companies, and both Sahanak and Sukarno, unlike Suvarnabhumi, had recognized the government of mainland China. Yet the U.S. efforts against Sunak in Cambodia was...

20:21 essentially called off in July of 1960. Likewise, the major campaign in Indonesia was only half-heartedly supported and then swiftly abandoned after a civil air transport pilot was captured. But they come back after they kill Kennedy. Laos, in contrast, was a small, thinly populated country with a few proven resources other than 10.

20:46 Yet the Laotian crisis, a thing of little substance, continued to vex the Eisenhower and Kennedy administration for years. The answer of why that was is twofold. First, Laos bordered the China and North Vietnam, and in the early 50s, the U.S. strategy of containment had been directed towards isolating China from the largely urban Chinese population scattered across the rest of South China Sea area. In the latter 1950s,

21:16 Talk of a forward strategy focused attention increasingly, and some would say absurdly, on the poorly defined and poorly defended Laotian border. Thus, a credible version of the domino theory was replaced by an absurdly ideological one, which could never be won inside of Laos, because it was all about drugs. Reports of alleged communist

21:40 incursions across the border based on systematic exaggeration of events was repeatedly used by the U.S. Joint Chiefs to urge introduction into Laos of U.S. troops armed with tactical atomic weapons. Such a confrontation in Laos served the interest of those who hoped to provoke a U.S. war with mainland China.

22:02 The second reason closely related is that the CIA-backed conspiratorial intrigue to gain control of the Laotian government was also de facto struggles to consolidate the opium trade. The defense of a remote region in northeast Laos led to the contracts for a former Civil Air Transport representative, William Byrd, to construct airstrips that were soon used to fly the Hmong opium. KMT planes

22:31 Oops, hold on. Sorry about that. My stream over there on Rumble got interrupted. Let's see. KMT planes and personnel flew to these airstrips under the cover of a Laotian airline. In that way, the Hmong opium production could be denied to the communist Peochen Lao, even as the latter took over the lowlands of the area from 59 to 64.

23:08 This was not a trivial matter. Laotian opium production concentrated in the Northeast was in the order of 50 to 100 tons a year and constituted the country's most valuable export. In retrospect, it appears that the CIA's efforts in Laos were focused on denying this opium and possibly to the indigenous people and securing it for support of drug trafficking.

23:32 throughout the CIA to include the military. And in 1959, and again in 60, helped install their puppet in power. The key to the support from 59 on was ostensibly the Chinese Nationalist Civilian Airline Civil Air Transport, which was actually a part of the CIA proprietary. In the same year, in 1959, the CIA firmed CAT Inc.

24:02 once owned by Chiang Kai-shek's friend Claire Chenault, was renamed Air America. The understated account sanitized by lawyers at Rampart of the conspiratorial and possibly illegal plotting of 1968 by presidential candidate Richard Nixon to extend the Vietnam War just before the election.

24:34 with General Chenault's widow, Anna, who was herself one of the KMT, she was like a war bride, from China. As an intermediary, Nixon persuaded the head of the Saigon regime to refuse to participate in the Paris peace talks arranged by President Johnson.

24:57 Nixon's intrigue helped secure his election and also fruitlessly increase the losses in both Vietnamese and American lives. The chapter explored, talking about his other book, the background of this conspiratorial link between Nixon and the Chenault Circle, meaning basically the China lobby. It noted that in 1959 and 60, critical

25:22 Authorizations for civil air transport in Laos were made when Eisenhower was outside Washington. Later chapters will talk of Nixon's repeated visits to Asia after 1960 on at least one occasion with a representative of oil interest. Nixon's extraordinary career is not easily summarized. It is, however, relevant that it was aided financially by four groups of a common stake in the Far East, organized crime,

25:52 the China lobby, oilmen, and the CIA. In 1970, I was unaware of Nixon's deep and incriminating financial connections to the mob and CIA-linked Castle Bank in the Bahamas. Castle Bank, as you will remember, was created by Paul Helliwell, who was the CIA guy that was arranging the money laundering arrangements for the opium coming out of Southeast Asia.

26:21 Paul Helliwell also was the chief architect of the CIA drug connection. As mentioned earlier, the author came in time to enlarge his view of a deep political force pressing for our involvement in Indochina. But as he found Chenault, his airline, Civil Air Transport, and his supporting circle,

26:50 Corcoran, William Pauley, Whiting, Willauer, and others played important roles in projecting a forward U.S. presence in that area. This was true both for the support of the KMT forces and allies in Taiwan, Burma, Thailand, Korea, Laos, and Vietnam, and also in covert U.S. interactions against the governments of first Guatemala and then Cuba.

27:20 He said that he should have commented along with the role of Richard Nixon in all of those same events, notably with Polly and Willauer in preparation for the Bay of Pigs. Nixon was a man of political skill and complexity not reduced to wishes of those who financed his rise to power.

27:39 The fact remains that for two decades of World War II, the expansion of U.S. power to third world was achieved under presidents who spent much of their time resisting the forces pressing for this expansion. Until 1967, Nixon consistently, whether in office or not, was a leading spokesman for the efforts of the expansion. Two murky questions about Nixon's extraordinary career remained unanswered.

28:08 First is the extent to which the campaign contributions from abroad, including Asia, affected Nixon's policy and career. The second is whether, as recently charged, Nixon's early career, leading up to his use of inside knowledge in the Hiss case, was bolstered by secret and possibly conspiratorial contact with the Dulles brothers and the CIA.

28:31 In the closing days of 1968 presidential campaign, the Democrats made an 11th hour bid for the presidency through a White House announcement that all bombing in North Vietnam was being stopped and the serious peace negotiation was going to begin. This move was apparently torpedoed within 30 hours by President Thao of South Vietnam.

28:53 who publicly rejected the coming negotiations. And three days later, the Democrat candidate lost to Richard Nixon in a narrow margin. After the election, it was revealed that a major Nixon fundraiser and supporter had engaged in elaborate negotiations with Saigon, including false assurances that Nixon would not enter into such negotiations if elected to sabotage the Democrats' plan.

29:20 It was also revealed that through wiretaps, the White House and Humphrey knew of these maneuvers before the election and that a heated debate had gone on among Humphrey's strategists as to whether the candidate should exploit the discovery in the last moments of the campaign. Humphrey declined to seize on the opportunity, he said, because he was sure Nixon was unaware and did not approve the activities. The supporter in question was

29:50 and Anna Chenault, the widower of General Claire Chenault, and now an intimate friend of his lawyer, Tommy Cochran. Her covert intervention into the highest affairs of state was by no means unprecedented for her or her associates. General Chenault had fought in China with Chiang Kai-shek after the war and formed a private airline to help Chiang Kai-shek.

30:19 both in the war efforts and for trafficking drugs. Both husband and wife had, through their involvement with the China lobby and the CIA's complex private corporations, played a profound role throughout the U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia. Claire Chennault's airline was, for example, employed by the U.S. government in 1954 to fly in support of the French at Dien Bien Phu. It was also a key factor in the new fighting.

30:49 which began in Laos in 59 and 60. Moreover, it appears that Eisenhower did not really know when his office and authority was being committed to the Laotian conflict. I'm not sure I agree with that, but whatever. In its invasion of international controls over military commitment in Laos and elsewhere, the CIA had long relied on the pro-

31:21 Anyway, Claire Chenault's airline, proprietary. There you go. Civil Air Transport, later named Air America. Air America's fleet of transport airplanes were easily seen in the airports of the following cities, Laos, South Vietnam, Thailand, and Taiwan. The company was based in Taiwan, where a subsidiary firm, Air Asia,

31:48 had 8,000 employees that was for a while the world's largest aircraft maintenance and repair facility. While not all of its operations were paramilitary or covert in Vietnam and even in Laos, Air America was chief airline serving the CIA in its war of clandestine covert activities.

32:19 In 1960, the largest of these operations was the supply of fortified positions of the 45,000 Hmong tribesmen fighting against the Laotian forces behind their lines in northeast Laos. The Hmong were the hill tribesmen, which we talked about before. Most of the Hmong outpost had airstrips that would accommodate special

32:46 short takeoff and landing aircraft, but because of the danger of enemy fire, the American and nationalist Chinese crews usually relied on parachute drops of guns, mortars, ammunition, rice, and even live chickens and pigs. Air America's planes also served to transport the Hmong main cash crop, opium. The Hmong units, originally organized and trained by the French,

33:13 provided a good indigenous army for the Americans. Together with their CIA and Special Force quote-unquote advisors, the Hmong were used to harass everyone else, to include the opposing forces in Laos and in North Vietnam. In the later 1960s, they engaged in conventional battles, and they were transported around by Air America planes. The Hmong also

33:40 defended until its capture in 1968, the key air radar installation near the northern Vietnamese border. The station had been used in the bombing of North Vietnam. A lot of people got killed when that happened, military people. Further south in Laos, Air America flew out of the CIA operation headquarters in PAKSE, from which it has supplied

34:09 an isolated U.S. Army camp in the southeast, as well as U.S. and South Vietnamese special force operations in that same area. Originally, the chief purpose of these activities was to harass the Ho Chi Minh Trail, but ultimately the fighting in the Laotian Panhandle, as elsewhere in the country, expanded into a general air and ground war. Air America planes were reported to be flying armed supplies and reinforcement.

34:37 in a much larger campaign. Ostensibly, Air America planes were only in business of airlift charter service. Before 1968, when the U.S. Air Force transferred its operations from North Vietnam to Laos, air combat operations was reserved for Laotian planes, but it was suggested that at least some of those operated out of Thailand with American pilots and

35:06 Taiwanese pilots, as well as Thai pilots from Thailand, all of which were contract employees of the CIA via Air America. In addition, many of the Air American pilots and ground crew were trained for intelligence and special missions. A reporter in 1964 said to encounter American ground crews whose accents and culture were unmistakably Ivy League.

35:35 meaning they were CIA. And for years, Air America's pilots flew in a combat support role as early as April 1961. When U.S. advisors are first known to have guided the Laotian army in combat, Air America's pilots flew the troops into battle in transports and helicopters supplied by the U.S. Marines. In 1962, the Geneva Agreement on Laos prohibited

36:04 foreign paramilitary formations, and foreign civilian connections with the supply, maintenance, storing, and utilization of war materials. And we violated every single one of them. Air America's involvement in military and paramilitary operations under the cover of a contract with the U.S. Economic Aid Mission would thus appear to have been clearly illegal, because it was.

36:30 In calling Air America a paramilitary auxiliary arm, however, it should be stressed that its primary function was initially logistical. To understand the complex operations of Air America, one must go back to 1941 and the establishment of the Flying Tigers, or American Volunteer Group, AVG, General Claire Chenault's private air force in support of Chiang Kai-shek against the Japanese.

37:00 At the time, Roosevelt wished to aid Chiang Kai-shek, and he also wanted American reserve pilots from the three services to gain combat experience. But America was not in war, and the U.S. code forbade the service of active and reserve personnel in foreign wars. The solution was a legal fiction worked out by Chenault's Washington Squadron, basically the precursor to the CIA. They're going to get in it.

37:30 Because they want first dibs on the opium as far back as then. So one of those Washington squadron was lawyer Thomas Colcoran and a young columnist by the name of Joseph Alsop. Chenault would visit bases to recruit pilots for the Central Aircraft Manufacturing Company Federal Incorporated. Its nickname was called CAMCO, C-A-M-C-O.

38:00 a corporation wholly owned by none other than our famous William Polly, a salesman, and actually he wasn't just a salesman. He was the franchise owner of Curtis Wright Inc. Aircraft, and he was also head of the Pan Am subsidiary in China. He just pops up everywhere. He popped up in Cuba, he popped up in Latin America, and he...

38:30 popped up big time in Southeast Asia. Totally coincidence. Completely a coincidence. And for those of you who are new, Pauley Island, South Carolina is named after his family. According to their contracts, the pilots were merely to engage in quote-unquote manufacture, operation, and repair of airplanes in China. But Chenault explained to them that they were going to be flying

39:00 and fighting a war. In theory, the whole contract was to be paid for by the quote-unquote Chinese government, and by Chinese government, they mean Chiang Kai-shek's drug money, because the Chinese government at this point was in the middle of a civil war between Mao and warlords, primarily Chiang Kai-shek. In practice, the funds were supplied by the U.S. government through lend-lease.

39:31 not unlike how they paid for Operation Gladiator in Europe. The operation was highly profitable for both Polly's former employers. Curtis Wright was able to unload 100 P-40 Pursuit airplanes, which even the hard-pressed British had rejected as too old.

39:53 Hawley nearly wrecked the whole deal by insisting on a 10% agent commission, or $450,000 at the time, during the Curtis sale. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau protested, but was persuaded by the Chinese to approve a payment of $250,000 for a commission. For its part, Pan Am's Chinese subsidiary was later able to use many of Chenault's pilots in the lucrative charter airlift operations.

40:23 over the hump to Chongqing. Now, if you guys are old enough like me and have had enough professional military education, you know what the Burma hump flight, at least what we were told they were all about. They were basically resupply missions for forces that were cut off doing the good fight. That's not what it was at all.

40:49 It was agreed that Polly's new Camco Corporation could not take American pilots into the private war business without presidential authorization, and there was some delay in getting that approval. But by April 15, 1941, Roosevelt signed an executive order authorizing the enlistment of U.S. Reserve officers and men into the Flying Tigers. Thus, Camco became a precedent for the establishment of a private

41:18 war corporation by government decision. It does not appear, however, that the CIA was always so fictitious about obtaining presidential approval post-World War II. After the war, Chenault saw that a fortune could be made by obtaining contracts for airlift of American relief supplies in China. Through Corcoran's connections and despite opposition, a relief agency called the UNRRA

41:48 supplied Chenault not only with the contract, but also with planes at a bargain price, as well as with a loan to pay for them. One of Corcoran's connections, Whiting Willauer, promptly became Chenault's number two man. With a generous financing of American taxpayers, Chenault and Willauer needed only a million dollars to set up the new airline. Reoccurring rumors suggested that Civil Air Transport was originally bankrolled by

42:17 shang kai shek's wife and her brother cv song s-o-o-n-g and um uh sr if you wouldn't mind putting tv tango victor song s-o-o-n-g's bio up because it'll knock your socks off then shang's ambassador to the u.s

42:40 So again, we don't recognize mainland China. We only recognize the quote-unquote Chinese government in exile, which is residing on Taiwan that all of us just assumed was a Taiwan government and not something that the U.S. recognized as actual China's government, even though they weren't and Mao was in charge. They even sent

43:08 quote-unquote Chinese ambassadors to the U.S. during this time when it wasn't mainland China at all. It was always Taiwan after World War II. So most references in history books that refer to China from like the mid-1940s until the 1980s are not talking about mainland China. They're talking about Taiwan because that's all the U.S. recognized as China.

43:37 It was a government in exile sitting on an island called Formosa that they changed the name to Taiwan. All right. Song's personal holdings in the U.S. after administering the Chinese lend-lease were reported to have reached $47 million by the mid-1940s. World War II was over, but the Chinese Revolution was not. Civil Air Transport established quote-unquote relief flights.

44:09 was soon flying military airlift to Chiang Kai-shek's troops, often using the old Flying Tigers as pilots. Chennault himself spent a great deal of time in Washington with Corcoran and Senator William Noland, K-N-O-W-L-A-N, and members of the Song-financed China lobby. He championed in vain for a $700 million

44:37 aid package to Chiang Kai-shek, a fucking drug lord, half of which would have been earmarked for military airlift going in his pocket as the guy in charge of the military airlift. After the establishment of the Chinese People's Republic in October 1949, Truman and the State Department moved to abandon the Chiang clique and to disassociate themselves.

45:07 from the defense of Taiwan. By contrast, Civil Air Transport chose to expand its paramilitary business operations, appealing to more pilots. And there's absolutely, I don't know where he gets this, that Truman moved to separate himself because there's no evidence of that at all. It was Truman that signed that 4512-2 that allowed anybody that was labeled a communist to be murdered. So there's no evidence of that at all.

45:37 Yeah, whatever. His footnote doesn't address that comment. It addressed the pilot recruiting. To help secure Taiwan from invasion, Chenault and his partners put up a personal note of $4.75 million to buy out China's civil air fleet, then grounded in Hong Kong.

46:02 The avowed purpose of this legal kidnapping was less to acquire the planes than to deny them to the new government in China. So basically what they're saying is the forces, when Mao and Chiang Kai-shek were fighting, there were forces, aircraft in Hong Kong that belonged to the actual government of China. And basically...

46:31 they were confiscated, grounded in Hong Kong, depending the outcome of the civil war. When Chiang Kai-shek got kicked out of mainland China by Mao, they basically used these confiscated aircraft and gave them to Chiang Kai-shek, who the U.S. was recognizing as the official China government in exile. And if you watched the show last night,

47:01 This is exactly what was going on just yesterday in Yemen, where they're giving away the islands around Yemen, supposedly from a president that the CIA installed that has been kicked out and living in exile, and he's given away all their shit. So this is very similar. But it is known that shortly before the Korean War, Civil Air Transport was refinanced as a Delaware-based corporation.

47:33 As a CIA proprietary, by the winter of 1950-51, civil air transport was playing a key role in the airlift and supplies to Korea. Chenault, according to his wife's memoirs, was into a heavy intelligence assignment for the U.S. government. Yeah, he was setting up Operation Gladio in Korea.

47:53 And basically raiding all of the villages of people who wanted a united Korea and wanted what was guaranteed to them after World War II was an election countrywide for one government. And the U.S. was not going to allow that to happen. Chenault's vision for his airline was summed up in 1959, the year of Civil Air Patrol's entry into Laos, by his close friend and biographer, Robert Lee Scott.

48:25 Wherever civil air transport flies, it proclaims to the world that somehow the men of Mao will be defeated and driven off the mainland and all China will return to being free. Again, Chennault is married to a KMT, Chiang Kai-shek, Chinese lady who I'm sure wanted that very desperately. As late as March 1952, according to Stuart Alsop,

48:55 the Truman administration had failed to approve the forward policy against China, then being proposed by John Foster Dulles. Yet in a CIA operation in 51, civil air transport planes were ferrying arms and possible troops from Taiwan to some 12,000 of Chiang's soldiers who had fled into Burma. Yeah, not possibly troops. We have unequivocally documented that it was troops. In his book,

49:24 Roger Hilsman tells us that the troops, having been equipped by air, undertook a large-scale raid into China, Yumen's province, but the raid was a colossal failure. Later, in the crisis year of 1959, some 3,000 of troops moved from Burma to Laos and continued to be resupplied.

49:48 On another CIA operation in 1952, a civil air transport plane dropped CIA agents John Downey and Richard Bechtel with a supply of arms for Chiang Kai-shek's guerrillas. We are going to read that book. There's a book written about this. It is a crazy-ass book. In 1954, because Downey ends up in China, he got captured for 20 years.

50:14 In 1954, Chenault conducted a vigorous political campaign in support of a grandiose but detailed proposal whereby his old friends Chiang Kai-shek and Syngman Rhee of Korea would be unleashed together against the Chinese mainland with the support of a 470-man international volunteer group modeled after the Flying Tigers. Once Chiang unfurled his banner on the mainland, promised Chenault,

50:41 Mal will be blighted by spontaneous peasant uprisings and sabotage. This is something that is another pattern that actually never comes to pass because that's exactly what they were hoping with the Bay of Pigs. Also, this whole time that this is going on, and I don't remember, I don't think he even mentions it.

51:09 What he's talking about is the World Anti-Communist League. The International Volunteer Group is the World Anti-Communist League. It included Chiang and Syngman Rhee because they were founding members along with the two war criminals from Japan and all of the CIA. They're talking about the World Anti-Communist League. Chenault actually had a list of pilots and had located training sites for the group in Central America.

51:39 where his former partner, Whiting Willauer, now U.S. ambassador to Honduras, was playing a key role in the CIA-organized disposition of the Guatemalan president, Arbenz, in other words, overthrowing that government. Willauer and Polly were also involved with Nixon in the planning of the Bay of Pigs operation under Eisenhower's administration. Chennault's plan was sponsored by

52:06 Admiral Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and seems to have been a lot of CIE support. It was defeated, however, by opposition in the State Department, Pentagon, and members of Chiang Kai-shek's Air Force. The civil air transport, however, had by no means been idle. It flew 24 of the 29 C-119 supply missions.

52:36 For the French at Dien Bien Phu, the planes were on quote-unquote loan from U.S. Air Force, and some of the civilians flying them were in fact U.S. military pilots. According to Bernard Fall, who flew in these planes, the pilots were quietly attached to the civil air transport to familiarize themselves with the area, encased, as Dulles and Nixon hoped, American air intervention on behalf of the French saved the day.

53:06 Civil Air Transport C-119s were serviced in Vietnam by 200 mechanics of the 81st Air Services Unit, which was the United States Air Force. Five of these men were declared missing on June 18, 1954. Thus, the Civil Air Transport operation brought about the first official U.S. casualties of the Vietnam War. Senator John Stennis, fearful of a greater U.S. involvement, claimed that the Department of Defense had violated a solemn promise.

53:37 to have the unit removed by June 12th. From the passing of 1954 Geneva Agreement until Chenault's death four years later, the civil air transport seems to have played more than a... He says that they were not as active in the paramilitary role, but that's absolutely not true.

54:04 Its planes and pilots were occupied with CIA support missions and insurgency missions in Indochina, Burma, and Tibet. And that is true. And this is where we get to the Tibet. Remember, we talked about them where they were building stay-behind units in Tibet, and they were flying the Tibetans into Colorado in the middle of the night with blacked-out window buses, taking them up to the top of a mountain for mountain training as insurgents, the CIA was.

54:33 you know, the agency that doesn't do anything in the United States. And then they were exporting them back to Taiwan to attack China from the interior. At the same time, it continued to train a large number of Chinese mechanics at its base in Taiwan. As an observation in 1955, they were thus ready for service if the communists thrust

55:06 at Formosa or Thailand or southern Indochina. And ironically, they're calling the island of Formosa Formosa instead of Taiwan. Civil air transport has become a symbol of, quote unquote, free Asia. Even though, as this guy writes that, Taiwan had already declared martial law.

55:33 The day Chiang Kai-shek set foot there, because for two years prior to him coming there, they were on the island murdering Formosas who, as they set up facilities there, who resisted the confiscation of their land and the oppressive nature of the KMT military, even before Chiang Kai-shek ever shows up. So they're murdering Formosas. Some people say as many as 30,000 at the end of the day.

56:03 But when he does get there because of the civil unrest, he immediately declares martial law. And they lived in Taiwan for 40 years under martial law. So there there was no free Asia. There was no free Taiwan. They were prisoners. The Formosans were under an oppressed CIA installed drug lord on the island of Taiwan. OK.

56:37 So that we transition into a different part of this particular chapter, which probably will be able to get finished tomorrow. So that's a good place to stop for the day. All right. So let me mark my place and get over here to open mics. Anybody that wants to come up? Obviously, we've lost Bridget. Let me get her back up here.

57:12 Illini, go ahead. Illini. Hey, Colonel. Hi. Hope you're having a good afternoon. I'm having a great afternoon. Thank you. I had a question for you on the Rockefellers. I don't know if we want to take questions first on everything else involved with Air America. No, just go ahead. All right.

57:46 I'm trying to run the ground right now a citation from a book whose author we're mutual fans of that he was directly involved with the formation of the CIA. And I'm having trouble doing it because they cite John Judge, who cites Carl Oglesby, but they don't give a page number for Carl Oglesby's...

58:16 Yankee and cowboy wars. And then you actually look it up and it's, it's clear that, you know, he's citing that the Rockefellers were heavily involved in the round tables and a lot of the business intelligence networks preceding world war two. And obviously the Rockefellers have a revolving door with the national security council and like half the people in the Rockefeller commission are, you know, switching between, I'm sorry, the Rockefeller foundation are switching between the CIA.

58:45 And and, you know, the board of directors there. But I don't have a citation that says that they were directly involved with the formation of the CIA. I was wondering if you had a source on that. Did you look in Paul Williams book because they were intimately involved in the setting up of the stay behind units financially as well? I looked in in Paul Williams book. He cites John Judge. OK. John Judge cites.

59:13 Carl Oglesby. Carl Oglesby doesn't say it. He talks about the roundtable groups. And he kind of cites, I think it's Carol Quigley's Tragedy and Hope. Yeah, I have that one. So Carol Quigley has direct access to the roundtable's financials.

59:41 But he doesn't actually come out and say that they were directly involved. And then finally, if you take a look at the Rockefeller Foundation's financials from 47, 48 and 49, they've got $150 million. And there's no huge variances in those years. So I'm thinking Paul Williams correctly cites John Judge, but John Judge's sourcing.

1:00:10 Doesn't run all the way to the ground the way I'm trying to do it. Right. But understand that the creation of the CIA is not necessarily going to be monetarily because you have the iterations of the like the Central Intelligence Group. There is a nonstop connection between OSS and.

1:00:38 There's like two other iterations before we get to the CIA. The CIA was set up and funded by Congress. There's not going to be a financial check written to that. That doesn't mean that the Rockefellers were not politically behind the decision to set it up because there were a lot of concerns about a standing.

1:01:07 foreign intelligence operation, given the fact that we had the military and we had already made the decision to have, excuse me, a standing military that was going to require its own intelligence. And then they had the big argument between the Pentagon on that when it was still in the Central Intelligence Group conversation that they wanted it under.

1:01:33 the new Department of Defense as part of a hierarchy because the intelligence would primarily be at the end of the day for military operations. There was a huge struggle going on. So you may not be looking for a check. That's a fair point. I'll post Carl Oglesby's notes on this into the nest. It's a fascinating question. If you can think of a citation showing the Rockefellers,

1:02:06 Direct involvement at like 47 to 49 period. That would be really powerful. Thank you. Sure. All along, you're having trouble with your mic again. For a minute there, I thought it was me. All along, we can't hear you. You want me to drop you down and bring you back up? Let me try that because we're just getting total dead space. Yep. Does anybody else have any questions? Go ahead and try all along.

1:03:06 That's just weird. Yeah. That same thing happened to him day before yesterday, too. And then yesterday he was fine. Right. Yeah. So I don't know what's going on. All of what you went over today, you know, Air America was essentially, I guess, they did close it up, correct? Well, that's another whole conversation.

1:03:43 That's one of those things where it morphs. So the real answer is no. The real answer is it just perpetually kept going by changing names. So it becomes all kinds of, the entire time the CIA is operated, they've had a proprietary airline or two or three or four.

1:04:07 When it gets discovered that it's no kidding been involved like a crash of an airplane or whatever in nefarious things and it's too much to blow over, they just say, oh, my God, we're sorry. We're going to sell the airline. We're not going to do this anymore. But they don't actually sell the airline. The things are sold piecemeal into four or five other proprietories.

1:04:34 That all at the end of the day, if you trace the tell numbers, end up as a cohesive, another proprietary airline that 20 years from now is going to get exposed. So no is the actual answer. Yes is the fake answer. Does that make sense? Absolutely. Thank you. Yeah. SR71. Thank you, Colonel. And thank everybody for attending today. It's just really great. Some good news going on here.

1:05:06 What I was wondering about, because it struck me when I started looking at the Marshall Plan, Russia wanted nothing to do with it. They implemented their own plan called the Molotov Plan. Exactly what they were going to do with that and how they intended to carry it out and why they elected to stay away from the Marshall Plan, I don't know. Maybe somebody's got some insight to that. Do you want to know?

1:05:36 Because the Marshall Plan was just like NATO. It came with strings attached. The Marshall Plan's money, initially, a lot of that came from the oligarch international syndicate with strings attached that the Soviet Union had no desire to be a part of at all.

1:06:00 And they recognized it for what it was. The rest of Europe didn't care because they were all going to collude together in order to set up this whole Operation Gladio and everything in the aftermath of that. And that's where the Paul Williams book, talking about Rockefeller's involvement, they saw World War II as a way to get into and manipulate.

1:06:30 all of the people that were involved in World War II and exploit them. And they did a damn good job of doing it. Sure. You want to try to speak again? Yep. Still not working. Sunshine, go ahead. He may not be able to come up because many people are being really throttled today, which really surprises me that you're not one of them because usually you're like on the top of that list.

1:07:06 So you're lucky today. I just wanted to give a shout out to your show last night with Alpha. If anybody didn't watch it on Rumble, it was very good and loved it. Thank you. I am going to ask anybody that did watch it, please come up and ask for a mic. I do want people's opinion on, and we'll get to that. I want to see if Carrie's talking about the show today.

1:07:33 But I do want to get to that and ask people about, because I have a specific question I want to ask people. Carrie, go ahead. No, I had some other point, but I can come up later about that. The Marshall Plan was a loan, loan, loan, loan. And the Soviets had been promised money.

1:08:03 And so it was like a bait and switch. And they were like, I'm out. Yeah, well, most of the loan didn't get paid back, just FYI. So I don't think anybody viewed that as a loan. I think they called it exactly like what it was. That was their ability to get the U.S. corporations into place in all of the areas that they were going to exploit.

1:08:34 SR-71. Thank you, Colonel. I did watch your show with Alpha Warrior last night. And I'm jealous. He's got a challenge point and I don't. But beyond that, when you started explaining how Yemen was torn apart, north and south, literally east and west, if you look at it, and what was going on.

1:09:06 I sort of, in a way, I come to the same conclusion you are, although I don't know that, I guess part of what I'm getting at is I don't know if we've got two nefarious groups versus one good group, one bad group. I do know one group really wants Yemen for itself. And when you started talking about the archipelago and you started talking about Socrato, it made absolute sense to me.

1:09:38 what was really blowing my mind at that point in time, because I started to do a little research on it, on Socrato and the Archipelago. Uh-huh. And you can't find very much about what's going on. Not much research on Yandex. As a matter of fact, there's hard, the information that was available, say from Brock and other places is,

1:10:10 Yeah, this is theoretical, but it's more not boots on the ground, but intelligence on the ground. And there is a potential connection between the UAE as well as Israelis being there. So let me make this very basic for everybody. Let's say during the Civil War that the South actually was aided.

1:10:41 by, as they tried to, England and France. Because England and France were in cahoots to continue the use of slave labor and take the cotton over to India, which is what they were doing. And they wanted that to continue because it was cheap cotton. And so let's just say that during the Civil War, the UK and France

1:11:09 came and took over all of the South's ports. They basically got in bed with the slave owners who behind the backs of the rest of America sold out their ports. And now you have foreign ownership of all of the Southern ports. And that the...

1:11:40 Who else would be involved? Another, let's just say Germany, had come over and taken over the Puerto Rico and had taken over Cuba and had taken over all of the islands around the United States. That's what's happening to Yemen. I don't have any good guy, bad guy in this scenario.

1:12:09 I have Yemeni people who want Yemen to decide what Yemen's future is. And I have a bunch of vultures in the form of UAE and Israel and Saudi Arabia that have invaded. And the United States is right there along with them. And so is the UK. As a matter of fact, there's an entire NATO force involved in it.

1:12:38 that have decided that no one in Yemen has a say in how Yemen is going to end up. And while this battle is going on, you have people squatting all over Yemen who have no business there at all. And there's no international UN resolution saying, UAE, get your ass out of Yemen.

1:13:05 UAE and Israel get your ass out of the two. There's not one. There's two archipelagos that they are on building up intelligence bases with extra long runways and all types of missiles and everything else pointed right at Yemen. I just the more I read about that, the more crazy the entire thing began to seem.

1:13:31 And so, yeah, I'm not suggesting that the Allah answer Allah, however you say that, are good guys. What I am saying is they're Yemenis and they get to decide and everybody else needs to get the hell out of there. And yes, it is a strategic place. But you know what? Put your big boy pants on and deal with them as a country after they figure their shit out.

1:14:04 after they were left alone, figured their shit out, and decide who's going to be their leader, if you can't negotiate with them on terms, because they don't control international water. And if, as a country with a leader that the Yemenis decide is going to be their leader, they then, unprovoked, attack somebody, you're in a completely different ballgame.

1:14:33 But that's not yet ever where we got to. There's been people sitting in their backyard the entire time. We wouldn't tolerate it. And I don't think anybody else should either. OK, that's when I agree, Colonel. I agree 100 percent that, yes, we have an international community that decided Yemen shouldn't own anything. Pretty much is what's going on. And it's wrong. It's totally wrong.

1:15:04 So in that regard, I totally agree. We need to get out of here. Thank you, Colonel. Yeah. And I mean, that's just like Venezuela. I'm not a big supporter of Venezuela's leadership, but that doesn't mean that we get the we can just leave Venezuela alone.

1:15:26 We don't have to confiscate all of their shit. We don't have to send USAID down there to try to overthrow their government. If they want to own their oil, let them own their oil. It's just crazy to me that we live in a world where there is an entire group of people that thinks it's fine that they dictate who gets to be in charge of all the other countries.

1:15:56 Sunshine, go ahead. I was just going to try to explain to people, when you're searching for this information and you're not getting all of it, maybe don't use Apple, Google, Safari. Yandex seems to be a good place, a source to look for some of this information. You get a little more. You don't get a little more.

1:16:21 Yeah, you get a lot more. And sometimes it's not in English, so you might have to get it translated. No, they have their built-in translation. Oh, I haven't seen that. If you look on the bar, so if you open the index and you click on an article, there is in the bar where the website is.

1:16:49 There's a little oriental scribble looking thing. I mean, obviously it's a letter or whatever it is, but it looks like oriental scribble to me. If you click on that, it will tell you on the left side of the little drop down menu that shows up what the language that it's in. So let's just say it's Russian and then it will automatically default to English.

1:17:13 If you want English, but you can click on English and pick any other one you want. Oh, great. That will speed things up for me. Yeah. And so what I do when I find one that is in a foreign language, that's a lot of the reason why, because most of it is in foreign language because everything in English is a lie. I go ahead and just cut and paste the entire thing into.

1:17:42 Twitter thread and then I just put parentheses around my comments on it so you get what the entire article is and it saves people that bother of having to do that translation themselves even though it is just a few clicks. A lot of people don't feel comfortable using Yandex and so I will take the entire article. Plus, as Bridget and Cousin It and I had discussed early on, feeding that information into

1:18:12 Grok is very important to our mission. We want all of that information easily accessible to people where you can search on keywords using Grok in order to be able to tell this story. Bridget, go ahead. And they also have an ability to cut and paste.

1:18:41 We've had conversations, well, I personally and others, where you can actually copy and paste something into their translator. So even if it's not, like, let's say I found something on DuckDuckGo or whatever, and I can copy and paste it over into the Yandex translator and it will translate it. It's really, really incredible. If you haven't used it.

1:19:08 But yeah, it's kind of like drinking from the fire hose if you're used to Google. It will forego all the advertisements and all the garbage. And there just isn't, now there may be an algorithm there, but it's definitely not anything like what you find on the propaganda. I don't use, when I do my research, I don't use anything but Yandex.

1:19:37 Yeah, I'm finding I do that as well. I mean, that's become my preferred search engine. Yeah. SR71? Just a side note. I did ask Brock one question as to the plausibility of Israel's involvement in all of this, given past history and the whole nine yards. And even Brock came back and said, there's no doubt in Brock's mind.

1:20:07 that he places a high probability at 65%. Yeah, it should be 100% because there's enough articles out there that illustrate that Israel is working hand in hand with UAE in all of this, as far as the setting up of those military facilities on those archipelagos.

1:20:32 Let's see. A, Patrick, I don't see your hand, but I do see that you came up as a speaker. Did you have something that you wanted to add? Yeah, I was on the show last night. I thought you made that point last night, and there wasn't full agreement. Alpha had a different position, and you were very politely reaffirming the facts against his feeling a couple times. He wanted to persist, but I thought you made the point last night.

1:21:02 Thank you very much. And again, I think the illustration, and you point out kind of the same thing that I took away from it. Alpha admitted that he believes that the, and you notice that he wouldn't call them what their actual names are. He kept calling them Houthis, even though I told him that that was a.

1:21:30 divisive comment to him. So it's kind of like somebody being told that USAID has nothing to do with aid and they keep calling it USAID instead of USAID, which is the proper name for it. And so anyway, I found it very interesting that the Marine was going off of an opinion as opposed to what the facts were.

1:21:59 That's kind of what I wanted to know if everybody picked up on that, because people can look at facts and create and form different opinions. And you can't refute the facts of everything that I outlined and the nefarious things that had been going on in the intelligence that had been being ran at the answer Allah.

1:22:29 movement in Yemen. I mean, they were trying to run intelligence at them in every form, USAID, other British aid, quote unquote aid organizations. They were compromising people when they sent them out for training, as I indicated last night. So all of those things are facts.

1:22:58 And you loaded that up pretty well last night and he was hoping for you to fall asleep or something like that. So he could claim a victory. So he wants to believe. And I understand that because this is kind of our programming, if you will, that we are not going to be launching missiles into Yemen without.

1:23:28 having verified they're bad guys. That's simply not true. We have done that for the last 70 years after we verified we know they're not bad guys and we've done it anyway. Is it possible that they're still using bad intelligence in order to make the decisions? It is absolutely possible at this point in time. It is also, and the other point that I really wanted to highlight is

1:23:57 I want everybody to question whenever our government tells us that someone is backed by someone else, that means they shop there. That doesn't mean that they're in bed with them. It doesn't even mean that their ideas of the way the world ought to be are anywhere close to similar because being ostracized and attacked by the West.

1:24:26 create some really weird networks. And those really weird networks may have absolutely nothing in common with each other, except for the fact they're both being attacked by the same people. And so I love that. And I need to come up with some analogy to that.

1:24:55 for Alpha, like he's Badland-backed or he's whatever. He's a fed. No, I'm not going to say that. But I want to drive home the point that just because you're affiliated with someone or you shop at a particular location, country, for your munitions,

1:25:24 Does it mean that country has any other? And I don't know, quite frankly, I don't know what other aid or financial arrangements. I didn't find any that Iran is providing the Yemen's other than being a shopping place for them to buy munitions so they can fight back to get these assholes out of their country. But the whole the whole bottom line is this. They make up.

1:25:51 80 to 85 percent of the entire population of people wise of Yemen. And if if they were given the opportunity to, which is why they are not being given the opportunity, if they were given the opportunity, even those factions that got in bed with the UAE.

1:26:14 would not be able to hold on to that territory. They can only hold on to that territory because they're UAE-backed, using their terminology. And so the president is UAE-backed. The president is Israeli-backed because, of course, Israel is on those archipelagos where the exiled quote-unquote president was residing when he got kicked out of Yemen proper. And so

1:26:43 You can figure out how to use those terms to your advantage as well. SR-71? Thank you, Colonel. What I did notice about the conversation with Alpha is Alpha was more intent on the thought that this is in his gut feelings, so to speak. Yeah. This is where World War III is going to start. Now, I could say that about any place on the planet.

1:27:14 It doesn't have to be there. So I found that kind of, well, gee, okay. So you recognize we're doing shit we shouldn't be doing. Yeah. All right. But you don't want to back off of this, well, we got to be there. Yeah. And that's what really puzzled me more than anything else.

1:27:40 So Donnie Vision over on Rumble says, Gladio glasses make a huge difference when researching all the big topics. Most know geoengineering is kind of a thing for me. Gladio glasses totally changed all of the information. Yeah. And Donnie Vision obviously hits the nail on the head with that comment. It changes everything.

1:28:07 It changes the way you read articles. It changes the way you read books. It changes the way you talk to people. It literally changes everything. I mean, it has for me. So, Carrie, go ahead. Yeah, Colonel, do you know exactly what Alpha was doing over in Iraq?

1:28:37 That's the first question. The second question is. I don't think he was in Iraq. I think he was in Afghanistan. Oh, Afghanistan. What was he doing in Afghanistan? I thought he was in Iraq. The same thing every Marine does, carrying a rifle and shooting people. Well, I know of some Marines that were guarding poppy fields. But anyway, the other thing about the conversation is I think.

1:29:07 that people don't necessarily, and maybe you don't, I don't know, don't necessarily know that the faction that is like fighting with people isn't everyone. And there are Christians there also, not just Muslim. And it just gets thrown to this, you know, Muslim bad shoot.

1:29:37 of you know like a laundry thing laundry chute well you just talked about iraq afghanistan and yemen in the same sentence so where are you talking about oh i'm talking about your conversation with alpha that i'm concerned that he is pigeonholing these people and you're absolutely right that um it's an economic issue like they have to they have to cling to each other

1:30:07 you know, in the hailstorm or whatever. I'm making all these weird analogies. But do you think that people understand there are Christians in that land mass? So I don't know that the conversation last night had anything to do with their religion. We were talking about Yemen.

1:30:34 as in all Yemenis, not different religious aspects of it. The Yemenis need to decide how the Yemen is going to be governed. And that's all religious aspects of that country. And I don't know that Alpha was in any way

1:30:59 saying anything that had anything to do with religion. He believes that Yemen is going to be kind of like the red line. And a lot of people believe this. I don't want to not acknowledge that. That there is going to be some scenario that is set up. A lot of people believe that it's Ukraine. Other people believe that it's Yemen. There's going to be some

1:31:31 crisis that on the brink of World War III, that all of the people come together and that there's going to be some major like earth shattering peace settlement as a result of coming up to that brink. There's lots of conversations that people have about that. That is a very common opinion.

1:31:59 My focus has not been on any of that. I don't have an opinion on that. I understand why they say what they say. But I have strictly stayed in the factual realm of what has happened in the past and the situations that are coming up.

1:32:22 use geographically those as a chance, since they're in the limelight, of going back and look at their historical machinations to make sure that we are putting in context what our government is telling us. And based on what they're telling us, they're taking actions. And some of the things they tell us is not true. As I pointed out when we did Panama,

1:32:52 And sometimes at the end of the day, the bellicose assertions that may or may not be true gets Trump what he wants because it's only half of what he says he wants. I understand that as a negotiating tactic. But again.

1:33:10 I'm going to capitalize on the opportunity that is presented when he highlights a geographic region to give a history lesson about that region as it relates to Operation Gladio. It just makes our study of Operation Gladio more relevant to us. And that's the reason why I wanted to talk about Yemen.

1:33:34 front and center in the national conversation. So it gives me an excellent opportunity. And Alpha was a willing participant as a guinea pig for me to outline what that history, there's so much more I didn't even get to. I had like five more tabs that we didn't even have time to get through.

1:33:59 To give a short history lesson of number one, where it's at, because everybody here is going to be map literate when we're done. Number two, talk about what's going on there on the ground. And then number three, what is the history of that area and what can we learn from the history of that?

1:34:21 What we would do if we were in a foreign policy position, given the history of what has gone on in Yemen, what decisions would you be making? Would you be bombing Yemen right now? Would you be putting pressure on the UAE to get them out of Yemen? Would you tell Israel, get their ass out of the archipelagos that they don't belong there and none of that shit should be built there? You know, again, we vote.

1:34:48 We are supposed to be informed citizens. I'm giving information to people for them to have an informed vote and have informed conversations with anybody they may want to talk to about these things. Illini, go ahead. Hey, Colonel, just to sort of back you up on the informed citizens and the gladioglasses thing, I pinned to the nest.

1:35:12 a sampling of news articles, and this is really just random, and people can verify it for themselves by going to newspapers.com, of the news reporting in 1953 and 54 in Guatemala. Everybody knows today that Arbenz was a liberal. He wasn't a socialist. He was just trying to keep the United Fruit Company honest.

1:35:36 But if you read the newspaper in 1953 or 54, the real problem is the syndicated. I mean, most of these things were syndicated articles from the AP scripts. You got a very different picture of what was going on. And the interesting thing was, was them citing the threat to the Panama Canal over and over again. And this debunked concept.

1:36:06 of of the domino effect yeah and potential cascading threat if if our bends gets away with it um where have we seen that before with iraq yes so to back you up on this is we have to kind of run the houthi situation to ground and we kind of have to run we can't necessarily trust

1:36:36 the Associated Press or Scripps or some of the syndicated news articles as a source. We have to find other sources on this. Correct. And unfortunately for us, most of those sources are foreign because all of our press is basically Mockingbird CIA. You may find a few independent reporters, but most of the alternative news today are not foreign literate.

1:37:06 And so even though we do have an increased amount of people doing independent journalism, they've never lived overseas. They've never studied anything about foreign policy. They don't know anything about the military. And so it's hard to find intelligent coverage of foreign affairs that has not been filtered through an international syndicate operative.

1:37:35 So thank you, Illini, for doing that. I'm going to look at that. That's exactly the point that I was trying to make. Bridget, go ahead. And when you were talking about how there are sometimes alliances that are made in the heat of a situation, it reminded me of the enemy is my friend.

1:38:04 And also went back to a discussion we had the other day about you reposting someone else's post doesn't necessarily mean that you agree with everything they say. It just means on that particular item. And the same thing can be for the Yemenese people or any other group that we find in these. Like I'm not necessarily a pro-Russia.

1:38:31 But Russia is not the bad guy that we've been led to believe. Also that sometimes alliances are made for the best interest of our country. However, removing our infiltration in other countries' governments and allowing an organic government of their own choosing to develop from a situation will be a complete game changer on all future. And as far as bombings go.

1:39:03 One of the things that we've uncovered, I don't know how many times, where when we research the history, a bombing can be brought through the news as the bombing of a terrorist group. When in fact, later on it is uncovered, these are the stay behind units. These are the very things that we are finding. And to think that they are only exclusive in certain countries.

1:39:32 is crazy. And there's so much that we don't know that we have to, based on the patterns that we see, make our informed decisions. However, also be able to be flexible enough that as more information comes out, we could, you know, it's okay to be wrong on something. It's okay to figure out as it develops what the actual situation, say, in Yemen or any other country.

1:40:07 And one last thing, and one of the best things I thought you brought up last night, among other things, one of the things that really hit home with me was when you were talking about watching the Sean Ryan show, to watch what they are, what narrative they're selling. Even Trump had said that he listens to CNN and NBC to listen to what the bad guys are telegraphing.

1:40:34 And that is a very good point to use when things are developing. It's like, okay, what are they? We know. I shouldn't say no. It's fair to say that the Sean Ryan show is trying to push a narrative. They have enough. We can tell that it appears that they are pushing a narrative. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Having so many.

1:41:05 uh, current or not current CIA members on there that are trying to push a narrative. You can listen to those with your gladio glasses on and get a feel for, okay, what are they planning? Yeah. So that when it does come out, you don't react, um, the way everybody else would. And again, if anyone is telling you the Taliban is exactly the same as Al Qaeda, laugh at them, laugh at them very loud.

1:41:34 And laugh at them really, really hard. Right. Right. You know, and that's pushback. I'm not a pro Taliban person, but they are nothing alike. Absolutely zero. Sunshine, go ahead. So in this with with what's going on over there, would you say like.

1:41:59 Like how the CIA created like Al Qaeda, you know, so that I mean, we had our war and we we knew what we were getting into and everything. Would you say Mossad is, you know, they've created their boogeyman as well for their war that they want? Well, first of all, my belief is all of the central intelligence.

1:42:25 organizations work collectively together. We have provided funding to Hamas and so has Israel. Hamas has acted as a boogeyman on call, on demand, in order to generate turmoil, chaos, strategy of tension, whatever you want to call it. It's all of the above. They do not do that

1:42:55 In isolation, this is a you are watching over the last 70 years, a coordinated effort, all hurting all of us into a particular direction. It's choreographed. They work together and there are different. But collectively, the decision after 91 was to use.

1:43:21 the Muslim religion as the new boogeyman and creating elements of it that we were going to call radical Islamist terrorists in order to be able to continue the march down the road to establish all of these fascist internationalist goals that they want. Does that help?

1:43:46 Yes, yes. And I do think like a little like with Alpha, he kind of reads those cue boards a little. And that is part of that bringing everything to the brink of World War Three. And I think that's where some people kind of have their head with that, where that's going to come from. And it may happen. I'm not saying it's not going to, but I'm not basing my research on something that I don't know to be a fact.

1:44:13 What I'm basing my research on is just what I find, what I can find and put my hands on. I'm not going to speculate on how people, because at the end of the day, I can't do that. I can't attribute the murdering of people. If you're going to give the command to launch a missile, and I say this as a senior officer,

1:44:43 You're going to kill people. If you take that to its natural conclusion, you are saying that you're participating in a brinksmanship to take us to a certain point to then ride in as a white knight and save the day. And I can't do that. I don't think that's a proper way of looking at any of this.

1:45:14 I think that the people that would attack Yemen is going to be doing it based on intelligence that actually says their targets are bad guys. And I'm suggesting without any confirmation that I'm just going off of what was reported that their target was.

1:45:43 part of Ansar Allah's resources, that that's bad intelligence from my perspective, because I don't believe Ansar Allah is the bad guys in Yemen. It doesn't mean they're good guys. It just means that they're indigenous Yemenis that are in charge of that country, whether you like it or not. And there's an actual invasion going on and they're pissed off.

1:46:12 Because they're pissed off at people like Israel who is invading their archipelago and setting up military capability to attack them with. And I'd be pissed off, too. So, Illini, go ahead. So, Colonel, I guess let me ask you this. Just I think I take some of the I see your point.

1:46:40 on what's going on in the mainland and that we probably shouldn't get involved. My issue is, is that there's, you know, this international shipping channel that's been there for, you know, 150 years since the Suez Canal, you know, was dug. And I mean, the Houthis can do whatever they want in the mainland. They can do whatever they want out to three miles or, you know, wherever the international shipping channel starts. But if they're sending drones,

1:47:10 U.S. flagged ships and they're attacking U.S. flagged ships, that's an act of piracy. And there's like thousands of years of precedent on that, that at least gives us, you know, a limited cast as belly and police power to go in there and to give them to knock off the piracy, including to chase the pirates back, you know, onto, you know, Yemeni sovereign territory and deal with it. The Yemenis aren't doing it.

1:47:40 Okay. Well, you're starting the story in the middle. You're starting the story with the attack on a U.S. ship, but that's not the beginning of the story. If you go back during the Obama administration, the Obama administration killed thousands of Yemenis in drone strikes.

1:48:09 That's true, and they weren't right to do that, and then the Senate kept doing it. And they didn't even identify who they were killing. They just identified general characteristics of these people's pattern of life and said, you've got to die. They killed American citizens in Yemen with due process at all. Okay, so you have a point, but we had a cessation of hostilities until October 2023, which was when—

1:48:38 And you know what? In 2019, they may have very well had the right to basically say, okay, these ships are supporting this military campaign against us. Some of what they're carrying on this is military equipment. We're going to attack it. That would be fair game. But we also had a cessation of hostilities until 2023. The Houthis reopened them.

1:49:06 And so now we're here and I, I'm not necessarily saying that, you know, that there's clearly a good guy and a bad guy, but it's complicated. It seems like it's really complicated here. And it also seems like the Houthis did me. Maybe you can trace this back to 2019, but the Houthis have a certain responsibility for reinitiating this in 2023.

1:49:34 In 2023, there was a lot going on. Obviously, you have the false flag of October 7th. And as I mentioned last night, ironically enough, there is a lot of stuff tied to that date, weirdly enough, in Yemen. And you also, during this entire time of 2022 and 2023,

1:49:56 Actually, all of that time from 2019 forward into 2024, where you had the CIA running assets inside of Yemen as espionage. They were locating coordinates on all of the different. And I mean, I forget what the number was in that Mint Press article, but there were like 20 people that were.

1:50:24 arrested as espionage. And so is that a sovereign attack on your homeland when you find that you have people that are basically calling in coordinates as spies inside of Yemen during that time? You could also say it's part of the police. Okay. So look, yeah, obviously.

1:50:52 You know, if we send spies in there, they're not, you know, uniformed, you know, soldiers or anything like that. And that's I mean, there's all kinds of issues around that. But it's the U.S. The U.S. was able policing response, though, to the attacks in 2023. But I'm saying started October. Right. But I'm saying that if you have arrested spies.

1:51:22 And you have no other way of holding the country, the United States, responsible for the spies that are calling in and giving out your proprietary information. There's no way Yemen has. It's not like you can take them to the International Corps. You can't take them to the U.N. You have no other recourse when the.

1:51:48 elephant in the room is doing this to you because you can't move the elephant. What else do they do? And again, I'm not making apologies for them. I can understand. And again, you have to understand that most of these countries over there do not see any daylight between Israel and the United States. They see zero daylight between the two. And I thought that was

1:52:18 very interesting in that one article that actually UAE got in bed with Israel because there was no daylight. They're actually using Israel as a shield to militarize that archipelago, well, actually both of them, and all of the ports because they know if they get in bed with Israel, the U.S. won't do anything against them. That was mind-blowing to me when I read that.

1:52:51 The coincidences on the October 7th date was kind of mind-blowing. Right. Yeah. Again, we won't have an answer. I love the fact that we can have these dialogues, though. Sean, go ahead. Hello, Colonel. Thank you very much for letting me speak. Yeah, I want to ask you, and this may be a bit outside of your area of expertise, but I'll ask anyway.

1:53:19 All you're talking about has to do with or is connected with the disclosure movement in the United States. You know, UAPs, UFOs, all that stuff. And the reason I ask is because one of the leading lights in that movement, Dr. Stephen Greer, who has actually briefed presidents and directors of defense and so on about the UFO thing, has said exactly what you're saying about.

1:53:48 the global um criminal cartel running things because there's an intersection there because it all if also affects the disclosure project movement in america the whole ufo reverse engineering a crashed ufo craft and uh reverse engineering the technology and that they have a they have very advanced technology and um

1:54:14 And he says that some of the money from these black operations and stuff, this money has been used in this area, in these classified operations to reverse engineer alien tech and all of that. What are your thoughts on that? I don't have any thoughts on that. Actually, I don't do anything in the UFO disclosure.

1:54:42 at all. I deal strictly with, because my military experience doesn't lend itself to any of that information. So I've stayed strictly where my background, where I feel like I'm qualified to talk about, is the paramilitary Operation Gladio and our participation in the covert operations as it relates to that, because it drags in the military each and every time.

1:55:12 So, sorry about that. I just don't delve into that area. SR-71? Thank you, Colonel. As Donnie Vision put it, when you put your Gladio glasses on, things become very, very different. But one of the things that's puzzled me out of all of this, and I still don't get it, and it's just my opinion, even with Alpha Warrior, as to how much one religious tenet

1:55:41 sway one way or the other and and that's what i guess sort of bothers me most now i'm a god-fearing man okay i'll be honest about that but i look at it from the standpoint of what you see happening on the ground has nothing to do with my religious beliefs it has everything to do with people and how people react so i i don't know if

1:56:09 if a lot of people here or if other people here see this based on a religious bias? Because I don't. I think I wouldn't use the word biased. I think life in general, I know for me, I could not, although never overtly in the military, do you.

1:56:40 Talk about your religious beliefs, because obviously everybody has different religious beliefs. And so your your responsibility, I guess, is to live out the values that you bring in, basically your morals, which are given to you from your religious belief. At least that's my opinion. So that.

1:57:10 you model that as opposed to talk about it. And yeah, I try when we do these analysis to look at it from all of the different perspectives. Obviously, it's very much a cultural thing. And my first real dealings with that was the...

1:57:34 cultural orientation when i got told i was going down range from um in 91 from insular airbase in turkey into northern iraq um because there was like a two-day kind of seminar if you will because there's lots of things you got to know um you can't cross your feet and show the bottom of your shoe it's totally disrespectful in the presence um of

1:58:03 The Kurdish people, you can't ever, ever, ever eat with your left hand. I'm left handed. That was a pain in the ass. So there's a lot of things when you're dealing with other cultures and not necessarily religions, cultures that you have to be mindful of. Now, again, because the U.S. military has all different types of people from cultural backgrounds.

1:58:33 That to me was the only reason I ever thought those cultural designated months ever made sense. Because in the military, most people that live in a normal town culturally are not going to come in contact with like 20 or 30 different culturals, people from backgrounds that are different.

1:59:03 you grow up in that same area and you learn um whatever it is that um lives in your area um like i have a very diverse street that i live on a very diverse street um and i talk to all my neighbors um but the that's not the case in the military um you are um you know kind of

1:59:28 poured into through no choice of your own in contact with people from all kinds of different cultures. And you become much more aware of those other cultures. And it's not that we don't all have an American culture and we're fighting for America because that's a given. But the fact that when my first base, the lady that watched my daughter, my oldest daughter,

1:59:58 was um from korea and um i had another lady uh that uh watched um the lady that watched my my two youngest ones when they were born in um washington dc was from germany like born and raised in german germany and married um an army guy and so you have to understand and i have always been very inquisitive obviously

2:00:26 So I loved learning about other people's culture. So I think there's not necessarily on the religious thing, but I do think you live out your religious beliefs every day in practice. Carrie, go ahead. Colonel, you ate with your hands. You have to. I'm so proud of you. So in.

2:01:02 In northern Iraq with the Kurds, part of the feast and we generally went to one about every week because we were in different areas. We basically had jurisdiction, the no fly zone across the entire northern sector. And we visited everything because everybody wanted to have dinner with the general that I was the aid for. So part of the big before you go and sit down and have the formal dinner.

2:01:30 They send these big platters around of lamb and these big platters around of fish. And there's no utensils. So you're going to eat with your hand and you're not allowed to eat with your left hand. So you don't have a choice. They also had these.

2:01:52 They look like egg rolls, but they were made with grape leaves and they had a mixture of beet and rice on the inside of them. Unbelievably, very, very good. And of course, I'm one of those people. I have a like a solid disposition when it comes to eating foreign foods. I never had problems with that. Just about everybody else did. I don't know why that is, but I wanted to try everything.

2:02:21 So, yeah, the food was excellent. But, yeah, you have to eat with your fingers. Just the appetizers. You had utensils when you sat down for dinner, but the platters that went around, you ate with your fingers. All right. Anybody else? We're at six o'clock. Okay. Illini gets a gold star today. I really enjoyed that conversation, Illini.

2:02:55 Thanks, everybody, for being here. I really do appreciate it. And SR71, your cup that you ordered is in the mail. And there is a coin for you volunteering to be co-host with me. So don't bitch at my daughter about you not being able to buy the coin. Go ahead. Did you want to say something? Can I say something? Coin? Is it silver?

2:03:31 I didn't see it on your website. It's not there yet. She's putting it up right now. She took the picture of it. I thought she had already put it up because she had the proof pictures, and I thought she used those to put the coin up. If you want to go back and fast forward to the end of the show on Rumble, I'm going to give you a look at it. Alpha showed it last night.

2:03:58 So it's got Operation Gladio and Eagle with the dagger, i.e. Gladio, in its hand. And then it has two compass rows in the background signifying CIA and NATO, which they both use that as their logo. And then on the back of the coin, it has an eagle, which represents me, and the phoenix, which is burn everything down, which is Gladio.

2:04:28 eagle has in their talons the phoenix and basically ring in their neck. So that's the challenge coin that will go up on the website hopefully tonight for anyone who wants to purchase it for our book fund.

2:04:48 And then he also, he wore a shirt because obviously I would be nowhere without Alpha Warrior and that amazing series. And I did SR71, thanks to you, get to embarrass him last night and tell him that he missed our anniversary. So thank you very much for looking that up, SR71, because I loved needling him. And then he also showed the copy mug and he wore a shirt. So anyway.

2:05:18 It was awesome. Okay. I'm going to be looking for that because you know me and silver. I love my silver. So I got to get a whole bunch of them to send around to a bunch of my friends. But it's not silver. It is a military challenge coin. Good enough. It's metal. It's definitely metal. Okay.

2:05:38 We've got to talk to like JM Bullion or something like that to find out how much they would charge for us to do something like that and put it into silver as well. Sorry. Yeah. Stella, you're getting way above my pay grade here. I'll figure it out. They did it for that other lady with the squirrel, so I'm sure that we can get it figured out for us. Oh, my God. Okay. All right.

2:06:03 So you guys take care. One second. I'm super jealous of Illini. Okay. Well, all right. What did you say, SR71? I don't know if he said something. I just wanted to say thank you very much, Colonel. I am definitely humbled, believe it or not. You don't know what that means to me.

2:06:34 You are very welcome. I appreciate you more than you could ever know being up here and hurting all the cats. You and Bridget both. Awesome. All right. Everybody take care. I will see you guys tomorrow. Are you doing anything tonight anywhere? I don't think so.

2:07:00 Trump frog might be doing something tonight. He said either tonight or Monday. Okay. Well, if he does, um, Stellar, um, please, uh, just, um, include me on an invite. I would definitely log on for that, but no, I don't have anything else for tonight. Okay, perfect. I will. I'll reach out to him too. I have tonight off so I can actually.

2:07:23 Be a part of something and not have to worry about a job or the other two. Because I'm working three jobs now. So I'm trying to make sure that I'm able to still come in. Okay. Awesome. Well, we love it when you are here. All right, guys. Thanks, everybody. See you tomorrow.
