0:00 her out. Absolutely. Holy crap. Your show last night on Sit Rep was absolutely awesome. And the ending, though, absolutely got me and cracked me up beyond what else and whatnot. That was just really funny. It is very interesting, but very educational at the same time from the perspective that you can talk to somebody for a year and a half.

0:31 about tactics and them still not be able to apply them to modern day everybody's got a gift and everybody's gift is not the same yeah oh you know and when you were when you two were debating um different facts um no we weren't good things we weren't debating facts he didn't have any facts his all his was all this is what i think's going on

1:02 But go ahead. Okay. Absolutely. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. That's why I love debating people. Absolutely.

1:31 A good example also for people to see that you can disagree with somebody without killing them. Or even wanting to kill them. And I don't. I love them to death. I mean, they literally asked me five minutes before the show if I would go on. I will do anything for those two. I love them to death. You guys gel together really well. Yes. And the open conversation allows people to understand.

2:01 My expectation is not ever that everybody's going to agree on information that we don't have concrete evidence of today. But it is also very important that you acknowledge what is fact and what you think. And that's why I pushed back on him when he got into the speculation. Well, here's what I think is going on. Okay, as long as you know that it's not based on any...

2:30 at all on facts go ahead um and and that's very important because what he believes is going on is contrary to patterns and you're free to do that you just have to recognize and acknowledge to everybody that what you're stepping out on is like a um glass ledge um because it's not propped up

3:00 either with historical facts or the facts as we know them so um yeah i love it and i've always found as a matter of fact one of my best best best friends um colonel john reed who i love to death the very first time i ever met him and i may have told you guys this story i was a major at the pentagon he was a lieutenant colonel he's a

3:24 I did not know at the time. So I just walk into a room. It's the ops area where everybody in there are pilots. Now, of course, I know a lot about aircraft operations in the Air Force because I was in maintenance and spent, you know, eight years on a flight line. So I'm not the normal support nerd that just walks into a conversation about air ops.

3:52 He had spent some time in the reserve and came back on active duty. And he was talking about United Airlines. And again, because I'm familiar with, I worked for a civilian airline as well. Mine just happened to be affiliated with the CIA, but whatever. He was talking about the, at the time, there was massive union unrest at United, which was an employee-owned company. So you had the...

4:22 flight, uh, whatever you call them, uh, stewardesses, uh, in one union, the maintenance in another union and the pilots in another union. And of course he was, um, talking from a pilot's perspective about, you know, shitting on everybody else basically. And so, you know, I'm, I'm new, I'm just sitting, standing there listening to him. And when he got done,

4:50 because all the rest of the people had not ever flown for a civilian airline. They were still on active duty with no breaks. I looked at him and I said, you know what I just heard you say? That you guys all own that company and you're perfectly fine with shitting on the people who serve you food and keep your aircraft flying in the air. Does that make any sense to you at all? And so, of course, we got into a very long conversation, mine from the maintenance perspective and his from the...

5:21 pilot perspective. And I loved it. I ate it up. He was Catholic. I'm Protestant. We had tons of conversations about religion in general. And I learned more from those debating sessions with him, not only about stuff that I believe that wasn't true, but more commitment to the stuff that I did know.

5:50 um well and could articulate it and confirm that my belief system so i won some he won some and still to this day i talk to him at least once a week he is my go-to to guy um later on i found out that this guy's literally from an air force perspective a stud like holy crap so we got to be best friends at the pentagon we were stationed together at um

6:20 Randolph. And I got to know his family. His wife babysat my kids when we were at Randolph. And just wonderful people. But he asked me when he was meeting his colonel's board to do his, in the Air Force, you have to draft your own promotion recommendation form and give it to your boss. They wordsmith it and then send it in. And so

6:44 He asked me to draft his promotion recommendation, which from a personnel officer is a high recommendation. So he brought his record down to me and I'm thumbing through his record and I'm going, holy shit. So he's an academy grad and he flew F-4s initially towards the end of Vietnam. And then he went into F-15s.

7:13 And not only was he like an amazing F-15, like top gun level F-15 guy, but he was one of the mission commanders in Desert Storm. As a matter of fact, for those of you who are on Rumble, this picture right here, this is him. This is him coming back. It's an official piece of Air Force art, a huge big one, like one that takes up this entire wall.

7:42 of him hanging in the UCOM command building over in Germany. That was after one of his first missions flying in Desert Storm. And so like literally a rock star. And he flew, there's a very elite exchange program with Canada where one of our elite pilots will go fly with their version of the Thunderbirds. They're called the Snoke.

8:11 whatever it is. And they fly F-18s, not F-15s. F-15s are much better playing than an F-18. Sorry if that hurts your feelings. But one of the first years Canada came to the Air Force version of Top Gun called William Tell, John came with the Canada team and flew against his former squadron mates in their F-15s.

8:40 And in the final series of competitions, flying an F-18, he outflew every single one of his F-15 brethren. So he's in an inferior plane and still kicked their ass. And so again, I'm reading through his record and I'm going, holy shit, I can't believe I was so mean to this guy. I could not believe.

9:09 just literally who he was. Um, he's a rock star from, and, and I finally, um, when I visited their house in, um, Nevada, cause he didn't have his trophy with him in San Antonio. And of course he didn't have it with him. Um, cause it's come to find out it's as tall as I am. It's this monster, big William Tell trophy. And, um, so I did finally, um, get to see that, but he is literally one of my best friends and we argue all the time.

9:38 or debate, whatever you want to call it. And we do so and we both end up kind of collectively agreeing to certain aspects of the other one's point of view. But it's always good natured and it's always good to do that because it solidifies your thought process, especially in this new role that I find myself in.

10:07 of what exactly is going on and so anyway that's my um personal story of the day so let's get into our lesson today all right it also allows me to take on the zionist um that don't have a fucking clue what they're talking about and enjoy the hell out of it so and an occasional marine every once in a while like last night all right we're on tap amen yeah amen

10:39 Let's see. I don't guess. I'm going to go ahead and give Stellar the co-host because in case you get bumped, Bridget, I don't guess SR's here. All right. No, I think today he works. Okay, sure. All right. Chapter 15. Nobody hands you a contract. This chapter begins in July 1983 when someone drove William LeMaster's Lincoln Continental.

11:05 across a bridge in a small town in Lexington, Missouri, just east of Kansas City, then made a U-turn, came back across the bridge, gaining speed, until the car crashed into a concrete foundation war memorial. There was an explosion and fire, and the driver's body was burned beyond recognition. No autopsy was performed, and the remains were quickly cremated. The body was identified.

11:36 as William LeMaster, who had been seen leaving a party in his Lincoln shortly before the crash. One of the primary items used to identify him was a golf bag in the trunk. Many questions went unanswered, but whether his demise was an accident, suicide, homicide, or even faked, LeMaster had been in big trouble, caught in a vice between federal investigators, the mafia, and the CIA.

12:06 LeMasters was not a bookie for the mob or a double agent for the CIA. He was a banker, a well-respected banker who was brought in to run a tiny $8 million in asset, Indian Springs State Bank. The bank had languished in a strip mall center between Whig City and Athlete's Foot on the Kansas side of the border. In early 1980,

12:33 The bank owners hired LeMaster from his banking job in Lexington to try to make something of Indian Springs State Bank. LeMaster decided after he took over the bank that he could be a rainmaker, someone that would bring in big deposits and big borrowers for the bank. So in 81, he hired Anthony Russo, R-U-S-S-O. He was a former lawyer in Kansas City.

13:03 He brought in depositors. He brought in borrowers. He also brought in a CIA asset and the mafia. One of the borrowers at Indian Springs was Carmen Civella, C-I-V-E-L-L-A. He was the son of Kansas City's mafia boss, Carl Civella. The $300,000 that Carmen borrowed on an Italian restaurant in Kansas City was still owed to Indian Springs.

13:34 when the bank failed another mob borrower was carl russo a bag man for the savella family who carried the cash skim from trapacano casino in los angeles to mafia families in kansas city and chicago the two carls were convicted in 1983 of skimming operations maurice schenker the mob lawyer from st louis

14:00 guaranteed a $200,000 loan from Indian Springs to his Dunes Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. A Schinker associate from Las Vegas, J. Finn, F-I-H-N, was also a borrower at Indian Springs. On the deposit side, at least 12 people with ties to organized crime had accounts at Indian Springs, including Joseph Joey Doves,

14:29 Apuca, A-I-U-P-A, a Chicago mob boss who had been brought in by Anthony Russo. Mario Renda and his brokered deposits were also brought in by Russo. Renda brokered more than $6 million into the little bank in exchange for loans to his straw borrowers of more than $5,000. And again,

15:00 Brokered deposits are where someone makes a deposit and then dictates who gets to borrow that money. It's a form of money laundering. These loans were not repaid and more than anything contributed to the failure of Indian Springs Bank in January of 1984. No one seems to know how LeMaster got into...

15:28 got together with Russo or why he brought the mob associates into Indian Springs. But LeMaster had to know about one thing in Russo's past. In 1974, Russo had been convicted of conspiracy to promote bribery and interstate prostitution. He spent 16 months in prison for the conviction. He had to surrender his law license. Before he stopped practicing law, he had represented the Savella family.

15:57 in criminal court. Incredibly, the FDIC board in Washington approved Russo's employment by the bank, despite his felony conviction, mob connections, and a recommendation by the FDIC's regional office not to do it. The second biggest borrower at Indian Springs, next to Renda's linked financing straw men,

16:29 were also brought in by Russo. For Fahad Azizma and his companies, including Global International Airways, the affairs and fate of these people and institutions are intertwined. When Global International Airways filed for bankruptcy in 1983, Azizma and his companies had almost $600,000 in unpaid loans at Indian Springs.

16:59 which then failed three months later. Although the final unpaid debt by Global was eventually whittled down to about $60,000 after offsets and adjustments, Azizma and Global certainly did contribute to the failure. That was according to Michael Manning, a private Kansas City attorney hired by the FDIC to investigate in Indian Springs.

17:26 Manning was one of the few investigators and prosecutors most responsible for bringing Brenda to justice. Between 81 and 84, Azizma and his affiliated companies borrowed close to $2 million from Indian Springs, which was a gross violation of lending limits to any one borrower, which at Indian Springs was half a million. So they broke their own rules.

17:57 thanks to LeMaster. Also, Azizma and Global racked up large unsecured overdrafts on their accounts. From April 82 to March 83, the overdrafts averaged $150,000 a day. Federal examiners expressed concern about the loan limits and the overdrafts. You think? We'd have been in jail.

18:30 These problems were compounded by the connections and conflicts of interest that existed among Azisma, Global, and Indian Springs. For example, Azisma was elected a member of the Indian Springs Board of Directors in 82, when he became the fourth largest stockholder with almost 10% of the stock. He claimed later that he lost all of his $400,000 investment in the bank stock when it failed.

18:58 But it is likely that he borrowed this money from another financial institution and lost nothing. When Azizma was asked about the large overdrafts that Global had at Indian Springs, he replied, Oh, I don't get involved in that level of detail in my business. I have no idea what that's about. The company had credit lines and authorized overdrafts. The statement is contradicted by Azizma's claim.

19:26 that as an Indian Springs board member, he opposed large loans to Renda's straw borrowers on property in Hawaii, for example. He claimed he warned the bank against being involved in that type of thing. But his statement was, I was a minority stockholder and no one paid attention to him. It's hard to believe that William LeMaster didn't heed Azizma's advice as a director and a big stockholder.

19:56 and borrower at his bank in addition lemaster was an advisory director on azisma's company global international airway he had also borrowed more than 55 000 from indian springs to buy the stock in global in 1982 lemaster borrowed 50 000 from azisma personally and never repaid it

20:25 Anthony Russo, too, was an advisor at Global, in addition to being a financial consultant for the company. One of his recommendations was that Global buy gasoline from Morris Shanker's associate, Jay Finn. Russo testified in one of his tax fraud trials that he had received a commission for every gallon of gas sold to Global. I mean, it's an airline, so they use a lot of gas. Which in turn...

20:52 had a contract to fly junkets of gamblers from Schenker's Dunes Hotel and Casino. Russo also borrowed more than $55,000 from Indian Springs to buy his global stock. He said he bought the stock in the name of his children and later sold it back to Azizma. Anthony Russo's brother-in-law worked at Global as well. He was an attorney for both Azizma and Global. Howard Lay

21:23 was brought in as an attorney for indian springs he withdrew when global filed bankruptcy in 83 owing 280 000 in unsecured loans to indian springs at the time global had 145 000 of cds at indian springs and was later allowed to offset those deposits against loans owed after indian springs failed january

21:53 1984, Azizma and some of his fellow board members filed a lawsuit against Renda and his financial cohorts for defrauding Indian Springs. The FDIC got an injunction against the lawsuit and then sued Azizma, Russo, and the directors for fraud and negligence in the failure of the bank. This lawsuit was settled out of court with unknown payments from the directors.

22:20 so in other words the fdic that allowed it to happen basically thwarted the lawsuit so they could take it over and do whatever they wanted with it azizma was born in 1942 in iran to a prominent wealthy family that had close ties to the pavlovi family his father yusef a lawyer in iranian supreme court justice

22:51 In 1959, Azizma traveled to the U.S. to attend school, beginning at Chanute, Kansas, because it didn't have an English language proficiency requirement, and eventually graduated from William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri in 1968. Azizma became involved in various businesses in Kansas City with family members, including a restaurant, and you'll never guess, an export-import?

23:21 company and a travel agency that's weird that sounds like a gentor press among other ventures he had also been arranging for shipment of live cattle to iran he decided to go into the cattle shipping business for himself and on 19 in 1977 he incorporated global international airways and started a multi-million dollar

23:51 It was started with a multi-million dollar loan from Commercial Credit Corporation, and he bought a Boeing 707. But his business ran into trouble in 1979 when the Shah was overthrown. Shipping cattle to Iran was out, so he took an Iranian banker, Mansour Raznasvab, in his partner and tried to break away into the charter business.

24:19 At the apex in the 1980s, Global was one of the largest private air carriers in the world. They had 17 707s, two 727s, and one 747. There was many successes, and he was helped along by none other than the U.S. government. One of Global's big first contracts hauling military equipment to Egypt for the Egyptian-American transport.

24:48 and Services Corporation, which is Eatsco. We came across Eatsco in Operation Gladio multiple times because it's infiltrated with CIA. Azizma told the Kansas City Star that Eatsco's contract accounted for more than half of their cargo. Eatsco, as previously noted in this book, had a connection to Herman Beebe, the mafia guy.

25:20 commercial helicopters. It was the company owned by former CIA officer Thomas Clines and Hussein Salam, an Egyptian. Ex-CIA operative Edwin Wilson put up Clines $500,000 as the initial capital investment in ETSCO. Former CIA Associate Deputy Director

25:51 of operations the covert side ted shackley according to his iran contra testimony acknowledged that he did consulting work for itsco and during that time he dealt specifically with klein's and salam shackley along with salam's brother an oil geologist were also contemplating an oil venture but according to shackley nothing came of it azizma

26:16 has said that Salam, a former Egyptian intelligence officer, was his friend. Salam was also a friend of Edwin Wilson's, but Azizma said he didn't know Wilson and had never done business with him. That's probably around the time they were framing Edwin Wilson and he was going to jail. Azizma added that Global International Airways was not implicated in any criminal activities with ISCO because

26:44 I don't know how it wouldn't have been because the entire ETSCO was a criminal organization, just saying. ETSCO was eventually fined $3 million for overbilling the Pentagon on $8 million worth of freight cost. So basically, they were doubling the cost and pocketing the profit of our money. And they did that a lot. Also fined was Air Freight International.

27:12 a Baltimore freight forwarding company used by Eatsco a lot. Air Freight International, or AFI, hired Global to do air shipping. Another Global customer was the Department of Defense, which contracted with Azizma Company to provide military airlift of military passengers. One such contract was for $2.7 million beginning in 1983.

27:41 just days before Global filed bankruptcy and continued through September 1984. And Global stated in its bankruptcy papers that it had at least an additional $9 million in Air Mobility Command contracts. Another Azizma company, Capital Air Inc., was located in Smyrna, Tennessee. It had won a $5.5 million.

28:10 mobility air command contract for long-range international air transportation in August 1982. Azizma placed Capital Air into bankruptcy two years later. Global's bankruptcy papers show that the Department of Defense owed Global $100,000 at the time it filed for Chapter 11, but they also show that Global owed the DOD almost $400,000.

28:39 But they don't say why. In June of 1986, there was a letter from the Air Force Accounting Division to Global that stated Global might have to pay $18,000, which represented an invoice from the German Federal Military of Defense for aviation fuel issued to Global during an Air Force exercise. The letter didn't identify the nature of the exercise, but it took place.

29:10 in the summer of 1984. Several people who knew Azizma said that he had good connections with the Reagan administration's Frank Van Geiso, who flew 707s for global for four years. Anytime we had a little problem with the feds, we just called him. Azizma has refused to say how much money he contributed to Republican candidates. That is not information I prefer to discuss, he said.

29:36 He made his first campaign contribution to the Republican Party in 1983, just three days before Global filed bankruptcy. The FEC records show that from 83 to 88, he contributed almost $55,000 to Republican candidates and $15,000 to Democrats. From 84 to 86, he contributed $27,000 to a presidential...

30:06 Dinner Committee, which was also called the Republican Senate House Dinner Committee. This dinner is an annual event in which the president speaks. Gary Koops, a spokesman for the RNC, told the Houston Post, it's a fairly large event. You know, there's no way we could know who all's there. Koops said that he is sure that President Reagan attended the 1986 dinner.

30:34 Vice President Bush probably attended too, according to him. So the dates of the Federal Election Commission records shows a contribution just before Azizma's scheduled testimony in Anthony Russo's tax fraud case. In the first weeks of July,

31:02 july of that same year a boeing 707 owned by azizma and his wife linda was used to ship 23 tons of arms to iran as part of the secret iran contra shipment the 707 which had previously been owned by global was leased to race aviation which was owned by azizma's brother barzin

31:29 Azizman denied having anything to do with the race or the shipment of arms to Iran. However, on March 7th, 1986, he received a letter from Farzan, his brother, regarding the lease of the 707. Azizman was told, your continuous support is of utmost importance to the company as well as the undersigned. Global's bankruptcy filings show that Farzan, the brother,

31:58 was a global employee and on march 15 1985 race aviation paid 400 to global for office rent so it's basically the same company they just created another name berhad hides behind his brother a lot one federal prosecutor said when the iran contra scandal broke in november 1986 farzan um was mentioned specifically

32:29 by Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Akbar Hasmini Rafsanjani as an arms dealer who the Reagan administration knew was selling arms to Iran. Varzin was referred to by Rafsanjani as this counter-revolutionary who is now a fugitive and who had been helping us with arms deals on occasion when he traveled to Iran. There's no getting out of that. Azizma.

32:59 denied any connection to the Iran-Contra scandal, saying that he had been thoroughly investigated and quote-unquote cleared. But when he was asked if he knew William Casey, who was the director of the CIA during Iran-Contra, he replied, he's dead, it's academic. Move on. An interesting sidebar is that Global International Airways and Aviation Leasing Group, the main company,

33:30 that belonged to Azizma, borrowed about $8 million between 84 and 88 from Utica National Bank and Trust in Tulsa, Oklahoma, using several airplanes as collateral. The head of Utica National Bank was Victor Thompson, the father of Robert Thompson, who was the aide to Vice President George Bush. Are you following? George Bush's aide, son.

34:06 was the head of Utica National Bank. And this guy that's basically working for the CIA is borrowing money from the son, whose dad is the aide, to George Bush. Okay. Robert Thompson gained notoriety in the summer of 1990 as the lobbyist who helped James fail by Blue Bonnet Savings.

34:35 A combination of 15 failed Texas savings and loan in Southwest plans bailout. Fail, whose insurance company pleaded guilty to fraud in Alabama in 1976, put up $1,000 of his own money, borrowed $70 million to buy this clump of savings and loans, and got $1.85 billion in federal subsidies as a result.

35:04 another milking job of the American taxpayers. About $35 million of Fales' borrowed money came from ICH Corporation, which is a Kentucky insurance company that at one time tried to buy Southmark, the real estate dumping ground for the mafia in Texas. Azizma had other connections to the Reagan-Bush administration, and they lead to some interesting characters.

35:32 During Anthony Russo's trial for tax income fraud in 1986, Russo testified that in 1982, he received $25,000 from Global for accompanying the dictator of Liberia, Samuel Doe, on a trip. Well, you all met Farhad Azima. He was the chairman of the board of Global Airlines. He also came into Indian Springs Bank as a shareholder. His airline was hired by the United States government.

36:01 to fly the president of Liberia, which was a new government and its cabinet around the world, on a Goodwill tour. And they hired criminals to do it. That's when Liberia had had a change of regimes. And remember, Liberia is the colony that we set up after the Civil War to ship back Blacks that wanted to go back to Africa. So we...

36:29 wanted to keep control of Liberia, and we have over time. And so we were afraid this guy wasn't going to be one of our friends. So we did a goodwill tour around the world, all expense paid by you and I. The U.S., quote, the U.S. has supported that country over the years. And about in 1981, which was actually 80, they had a coup.

36:57 Sergeant Doe, who was a sergeant in the Liberian Army, overthrew the government. The government was backed by our CIA. And when the Revolutionary Coup occurred, the United States then wanted to become friendly with the new government. They wanted to continue to have control over Liberia. Unquote. So they hired Farad's Airline Global to take Sergeant Doe, his entire cabinet, around the world. It was at that time.

37:30 I was head of the bank, and I had to check with Mr. LeMaster, who was the president, and he covered for me. And I took the trip around the world, and we went all around the world with the president and his cabinet. And the president and I became friends, and I would introduce them and kind of act like an ambassador. The CIA was, of course, extremely interested in maintaining secret satellite tracking stations that they had set up in Liberia.

38:00 after the Doe coup. As reported earlier, CIA agent Robert Sensei testified that he worked with Clint Murchison Jr. on a CIA project to try to replace the Liberian stations. That guy just keeps coming up. When I asked Anthony Russo if the Doe trip was sponsored by the CIA, Russo said, your guess is as good as mine. Well...

38:31 The author's guess was that the CIA, if they didn't sponsor it, at least knew about it. When the author worked at the Houston Post and asked Azima during a telephone conversation to London on September 22nd, 1989, whether Global ever did any work for the CIA, he replied this, quote, I don't recall. I don't recall. Nobody came on, walked with a contract and handed it to you.

39:01 carried a card to do business. No. Each and every company does business with, you know, military airlift command or some branch of the government. You do transportation, troop transportation or whatever. It's all part of a requirement. If you are in any military program to do the work, you do it, unquote.

39:26 I tried again and asked him more specifically if they had ever done any actual contract work with the CIA. He said, as a matter of policy, we don't comment on questions like that, which basically means they did. The author continued to try, asking him if he could deny working for the CIA. As a matter of policy, we make no comment. He sounds exactly like a CIA guy.

39:55 That was the same answer Azizma gave to the Kansas City Star when they published a lengthy article on June 10th, 1984 by James Kendall entitled The CIA Arms and Global Airlines. The story contained numerous allegations about former global pilots about connections to the CIA and weapons trips. One such trip in 1979, Global was ostensibly flying a load of lettuce.

40:24 from Tanzania to Nicaraguan refugees in Costa Rica. A load of lettuce, huh? The plane was diverted from its scheduled stop to a commercial airport, from a commercial airport to a military field. The pilot became suspicious and asked to check the cargo of lettuce. He found three double-barreled 57-millimeter machine guns and 150 cases of ammunition with Chinese writing on them.

40:53 That incident led to a standing joke among global pilots that when they were asked what cargo they were calling, they said cabbage and cabbage launchers. At least one global pilot had previously worked for Air America, the CIA proprietary used to fly in the Far East. And Global did business with several companies that had past and present connections to the CIA, like Southern Air Transport in Miami, who showed up as a creditor.

41:24 in Global's bankruptcy, so they had borrowed money from the CIA. Azizma said he doesn't recall any work with Southern Air Transport, but Southern Air Transport claimed in Global's bankruptcy that Global owed it $13,000 for service rendered. And former Global pilot Frank Vangaso said Southern Air performed maintenance on all of the Global airplanes in Miami. Global did business with

41:52 Evergreen International Airlines, which is my old company, a company that was formed from the assets of CIA proprietary Intermountain Aviation after its cover was blown in the mid-1970s. So, yes, I worked for a CIA proprietary airline completely without my knowledge. In fact, Evergreen is listed on Global's creditors, too, right after Southern Air Transport.

42:21 Evergreen operates a giant base in Marana, Arizona, just outside of Tucson, which Intermountain Aviation had owned. Evergreen's founder and principal owner, Delford Smith, told the Portland Oregonian.

42:39 Oregonian, that his company had one contract with the CIA to assist foreign nationals that the CIA wanted removed from other countries and brought to the United States. You know, those Afghan national kind of people that shoot up Washington, D.C.? Yeah, Evergreen was flying those people. Quote, and we don't know when we supported them and when we didn't as a contract carrier, he went on to say.

43:06 News reports in July 1984 stated that the CIA was using Southern Air Transport and DuPont Summit Aviation, as well as Evergreen, to transport weapons to the Contras. When Walter Michener Sr. was a board member of Herman Hospital in Houston, Evergreen Air was hired by the board to operate its helicopter ambulance service. Well, that's convenient.

43:35 That's a great excuse to have helicopters positioned in Houston when you're doing offshore activities on mobile oil platforms. Just saying. There are some investigators who believe that Global was started in the mid 1970s as an off the shelf CIA company and was handed over to Azizma to do its work under commercial cover. One Gene Wheaton, the former Pentagon criminal investigator, said Global.

44:06 was the aviation arm of ETSCO. ETSCO was doing weapons. These guys were doing aviation. He said that they owned it through cutouts. Another private investigator in Houston, who does work for federal agencies, has looked into Global and ETSCO, agreed, quote, William Klein and Richard Secord incorporated Global.

44:34 Azizma has denied this, pointing out that he incorporated Global in Missouri in 1977, but there is a possibility that it was actually created well before that. There was a connection between Global and Heinrich Rupp, R-U-P-P, that goes back to 75. Rupp, a Denver precious metal dealer, was a former CIA contract pilot sentenced to prison in 1988 for bank fraud with the mafia.

45:05 Rump's friend and partner, Richard Benecke, testified after Rump's trial and conviction that he and Rump worked for the CIA and that Rump was one of the pilots who allegedly ferried Reagan and Bush team members to Paris for the October surprise of promising Iran missiles. After Benecke's testimony and Rump's psychological evaluation, the judge reduced Rump's sentence from 42 years in prison,

45:36 to just two years the u.s attorney's office in denver then asked the cia whether rump and beneke had ever been employed by the agency because that's what happens every single time in a november 18 1988 letter to assistant u.s attorney c jeffrey kinder cia associate general counsel w george jameson stated quote

46:06 After a diligent search, no record or information of any kind was found that indicates Heinrich Rump or Richard Beneke ever had a staff or contract relationship with the CIA or otherwise worked for the CIA. Unquote. But that's a lie because they will not disclose that information. The Denver U.S. Attorney's Office then brought an indictment against Beneke for making false statements before a U.S. judge.

46:33 Almost a year later, Thomas O'Rourke, an assistant U.S. attorney in Denver, wrote a letter to Baneke's attorney, Mike Scott, brother of U.S. Representative Patricia Schroeder, who was a sitting Democrat representative in the House of Congress from Colorado, stating, quote, I received a phone call from Bob Cottle of the CIA. Mr. Cottle told me that CIA files show that in 1966,

47:04 Heinrich Rump received flying lessons at Intermountain Aviation in Arizona. He said Intermountain was a CIA proprietary, unquote. So he had, in fact, not only worked for the CIA, he was trained by the CIA. In a December 1990 interview with Dave Armstrong, then the editor of the Texas Observer, Rump said that he was involved in starting Global.

47:32 which he said was owned by the CIA. Asked by Armstrong if Eatsco owned Global, Rump replied, that's about a 95% true statement. An ID card issued to Rump by Global Airlines in Dallas, dated 1975, shows Rump to be employee number A002. That same year, Rump was issued an ID card as a pilot for Continental Air Services, a branch of Continental Airlines.

48:02 That was used for contract work by the CIA. Although Rump's Global in Dallas is Global International Airlines, while Azima's is Global International Airways, there is one interesting intersection between Rump and Azima's Global involving TWA and Saudi Arabian Airlines.

48:26 Now, we've already confirmed that TWA basically operated a lot of CIA missions over the years. Rump had worked for TWA on assignment to Saudi Arabian Airlines as a captain and pilot instructor. When Global was awarded a worldwide charter in 80, three of its top eight managers had previously worked for TWA or Saudi Arabia. David Gann.

48:56 Global's vice president of operations was a captain and check pilot for Saudi Airlines from 1973 until he joined Global. Robert Rose, their marketing director, spent three years at TWA training Saudi nationals to manage Saudi Arabian Airlines before he joined Global. George Selman, a flight engineer who worked at Global after three years at Saudi Arabian Airlines, later transferred to CIA-connected Buffalo Airways.

49:26 which azima purchased in 1989 so they're using as a azima as a front guy for the cia next selman went to work at skyways aircraft leasing operated by cia agent jim bath in houston all of this doesn't mean that rump is definitely a cia but he definitely looks exactly like a cia asset when rump

49:56 was in Leavenworth Prison, he wrote a letter to President Bush, to which he attached a copy of his membership card to the Association of Former Intelligence Officers. The letter contained several blatant factual errors. For example, he stated, my agency tenure began in 57 with the OSS. The OSS, of course, was disbanded after World War II, unless there's something we don't know.

50:25 He also stated in the letter that he had investigated the Libyan affair in its connection to Ghorbanifar in Frankfurt. In fact, that was controlled by a man named Barbuti, not an Iranian middleman, Ghorbanifar, as far as we know. For the protection of this country, his letter went on.

50:50 and the ideals which I had sworn to uphold, my lips have been and will be sealed, and I remain yours in faithful service, Heinrich Rump. He signed it Scorpio 688. I have no idea what that means. Maybe it's another secret club. Global was also named as a CIA front by a retired CIA Middle East expert.

51:17 In 1990, Bruce Hemings, a retired CIA senior operations officer who had worked the Iran desk in 85, issued several written statements criticizing the CIA's role in cover-up of the Iran-Contra affair. In his statement entitled, CIA Gun Running to Iran Goes Back to 81, which is interesting because that's another verification that there was missiles.

51:45 paid to Iran in exchange for holding the hostages till after the election. Since at least 1981, a worldwide network of freestanding companies, including airlines, aviation, military spare parts suppliers, and trading companies have been utilized by the CIA and the U.S. government to illegally ship arms and military spare parts to Iran and the Contras.

52:08 These companies were set up with the approval and knowledge of senior CIA officials and other senior U.S. government officials and staffed primarily by either CIA, ex-CIA, ex-FBI, or ex-military officers. The companies include Aereo Systems Inc. of Miami, Aero Systems Limited of Singapore,

52:34 Herax of Hong Kong, Pan Aviation of Miami, Murex in North Carolina, Sur International in St. Lucia, Global International Airways, International Air Tours of Nigeria, Continental Shelf Exploration, Inc. of Juniper, Florida, Vericon, Inc., Dane Aviation, Miami, and others such as Parvus, Safar,

53:05 International Trading and Investment Guarantee Corp. and Information Securities International. That's a shit ton. Through these mechanisms, staffed by ex-intelligence and military officers, the administration and the CIA have been able to circumvent and ignore legal intelligence mechanisms, congressional oversight, C-130s, F-4s, tow missiles,

53:34 Hawk missile and parts were shipped to Iran in violation of an arms embargo, and a variety of mechanisms were used, including international air tours of Nigeria in August and September of 1985, Aeroair in November 1985, Global International Can Aviation, and others going back to 81.

53:58 In another document titled Corruption Within the CIA, A Cast of Characters, Hemings severely criticized Thomas Twitten, T-W-E-T-T-E-N, the deputy director of operations, which does the covert stuff, for the CIA, and he was Hemings' former boss. In one section, Hemings discusses the weapon sales to Iran and how Twitten deliberately undermined a case.

54:26 of a foreign official who had information on the sale by turning the matter over to the British. Twitton's decision in that of London Station is highly suspect and negligent, as they knew, as I did, that the British government was, along with the British arms industry, Tiny Rowland, Ashraf Marwan, and Aidan Khashoggi, his partner, deeply involved in this trafficking.

54:56 Obviously, Twenton also knew that North Shackley Klein Hakim, Robert Sensei, and Cyrus Hashemi and Azizma were also involved in this trafficking, as all other individuals were part of the same network. Heming, who won the CIA's Intelligence Accommodation Medal in 1985, is extremely bitter by the way he was treated by the CIA in its attempts to cover up Iran-Contra.

55:24 In his position on the Iran desk, Hemings became aware of a senior CIA role in the secret arms for hostage transaction with Iran and the subsequent cover-up by the CIA. His knowledge of this came up in April 1987 during the confirmation hearing of William Webster for the CIA directorship. Hemings was ordered by his superiors to prepare a memo on what he knew.

55:53 but to leave out certain things. He refused to alter his testimony to fit their cover story. And later in 1989, as a Senate witness, brought me under intense pressure to remain silent or else death, unemployment, or loss of access to my children were all used as weapons.

56:16 All of Azizma's wheeling and dealing, his company's bankruptcies, his association with mobsters, brought him into the gun sights of a very talented investigator at the IRS. After this investigation discovered Azizma's connections to the failed Indiana Springs State Bank, he went to the Justice Department's Organized Crime Strike Force in Kansas City, which was investigating Mario Renda, the IRS official.

56:43 met with Lloyd Monroe, a veteran attorney with the Strike Force who had previously prosecuted narcotic cases in Indiana. After the IRS criminal investigators gave Monroe his information on the Azima Indian Springs connection, Monroe assigned an FBI agent team investigating Indiana Springs to look into it. The agents met with Monroe and gave him some shocking news. Azizma, they said,

57:10 had a get-out-of-jail-free card because he worked for the CIA. One of the FBI agents involved later told the author, the problem is the fact this guy had a get-out-of-jail-free card. His association with Global involved contract flying for the CIA. Some Global flights, the FBI agent added, had munitions and arms going out and narcotics coming in. Van Gesso, a former Global pilot,

57:37 said that on one of his cargo flights to Bogota, Colombia, he returned with a shipment of flowers. I heard there may have been some poppy seeds underneath the flowers. Azizma denied any knowledge of Global's transporting of narcotics. Monroe said that he argued for an investigation of Azizma despite his connections to the CIA, but his boss, a former military intelligence guy, vetoed it.

58:05 Ask if he knew about an FBI investigation being stopped because of his connections to the CIA. He said, I think you're mixing two different companies. I'm totally unfamiliar with this. Rousseau's first trial on tax fraud charges resulted in a hung jury, as did the second one. The judge then dismissed the charges. And Azizma had told the Houston Post in 89 that he had no idea about Rousseau's connections to organized crime.

58:34 which of course was a big fat lie. Meanwhile, the IRS investigator continued prodding the Justice Department to prosecute Azizma. After the organized crime strike force turned him down, he went to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Kansas City, which sat on the information and did literally nothing with it. Azizma, in the interim, had moved to London. Of course, because everybody does.

59:02 Then he headquartered his airplane leasing business in London. So the U.S. no longer has jurisdiction. So that's a good place to stop this part of it. There's a lot more. But you can clearly see that these people supposedly running these banks are literally mobsters in CIA fronts.

59:31 all involved in the savings and loan crash. And every nefarious thing that happened during that time, the October surprise, the selling of missiles one to Iran, the selling of missiles two to Iran, the Contras, drug shipping into the United States, weapons shipping into Costa Rica, Honduras, whatever, all centers around.

59:59 The freaking savings and loans. And when they got done with their operations, they just collapsed them all and move on. They've milked them dry. Billions and billions of dollars gone. Laundered through the savings and loan, made much larger by loaning out money and uncollateralized money that should never have been loaned out.

1:00:29 In the first place. So. On that happy note. We'll open it up. What you got Bridget? It's crazy. I am really shocked. Well not shocked. And how many times. The same areas come up. You know like. Like it always ends up. Coincidentally happening. Within the United States. Like you began off this chapter. With you know the guy.

1:01:10 blowing it or dying in missouri and then you know i noticed a lot of times we're connecting in chicago there's got to be i wonder if there's a more than just headquarter type you know i mean there's well they have major branches of operations that's for sure yeah where they kind of coalesce where they'll get into the banking airline business and all of that stuff like

1:01:42 like they did with Wexner Epstein in Columbus, Ohio. They do have like regional hubs where they'll own the bank, they'll own the politicians, they'll own the customs office, they'll own the FBI agent, and they make sure that corrupt FBI and DEA and ATF, whoever gets that particular station is one of the corrupt ones. That's a great observation.

1:02:11 Right, right. And that's, you know, and it just so happens that they're also the areas where we're also now seeing a lot of the election interference, ballot dumps, that kind of thing. You know, not a coincidence. It is headquartered areas, but it's amazing to me because this goes back decades and decades and decades, you know. Since 1948. Right, exactly.

1:02:42 Yep. All right. Miss Lou, go ahead. Every time I come into this space, God, I wish I could come into it more often. I get gobsmacked by you. And what's the moment to be where nothing's changed? I'm not sure not enough has changed, but things are changing.

1:03:09 Do you think that the heads of the CIA today, and I'm not going to name specific names, but even just below the heads, do you think they're all still completely compromised considering the level? I think the middle to upper level are. I don't think Ratcliffe is. I think he's there to figure out who's the good guys and bad guys.

1:03:37 The way the CIA has worked is the head is corrupt. So the only next layer down, the deputy director level, they have to be corrupt to work for the corrupt director. And they're only going to hire branch chiefs that are corrupt so that their corruption doesn't get called out. So you see the corruption comes from the top down, not the bottom up. So there's...

1:04:06 a reasonable assumption because of how classified all of these silos are in the CIA that you could work there your first 10 years as an analyst and not be read into a single one of these programs. And you just look at intelligence, analyze the intelligence and send your analysis to your boss. Now that's where it gets corrupt.

1:04:35 There is a level at the bottom for about the first five to 10 years that you could survive without being corrupt. But above that, you will never, unless you show the psychological profile to be a corrupt actor, you will never advance above that level. So how do you think Radcliffe is able to operate considering the entire bureaucracy, much of it against the Trump administration?

1:05:06 So it is my belief, and I have worked in a very small, minor fraction of something like this inside the government. You have to go to the workers. You basically ignore all of the middle management.

1:05:22 And you have to do an assessment of the workers and the quality of their work and their honesty. And then while you're doing that, you are working to force the upper management out. It is a shitty place to be. My assignment at Andrews Air Force Base was exactly that. I walked into the biggest mess.

1:05:45 of my entire career. As a matter of fact, I had a peer call me when they found out I had been assigned to Andrews and told me to be very careful because I was likely to get my tire slashed. That's how bad the people that worked at that particular office that I took over. It was actually a squadron. I was a squadron commander. They were vicious, the civilians that worked there. Absolutely vicious.

1:06:11 I was more than able to handle the challenge because, and I told my friend that called me and said that, look, I spent eight years in maintenance. There ain't one damn thing these people can do to me that's going to get me to quit. The person that I replaced actually had a nervous breakdown. They carted the person out of the squadron in an ambulance, but they'd never met anybody like me.

1:06:40 And I ended up firing them. Yeah. And I ended up firing them. And that's like an act of God to fire a civilian. But they had a little mafia going on that they took care of their friends out in the wing. And I'd never seen anything like it. It was crazy. I had somebody from across the base come into my office and tell me that I didn't want to do something.

1:07:06 And it was an enlisted guy. And I looked at him, I was a captain. I looked at him and I said, what the fuck are you talking about? He goes, you really don't want to do that. He's connected to the union and he's going to cause a lot of problems for you. And I just leaned across my desk and looked at him and told him, bring it on, bring it on. And, but it was crazy. It was the craziest job I ever had. I was there for two years before I moved over to the Pentagon. It was the craziest job I ever had.

1:07:37 Stellar, go ahead. Okay. So these Las Vegas ties with the mob and CIA, they're all former mobsters that own casinos here. You're talking about Shankar, the Dunes guy. I knew his daughter. So when you're bringing up these names, I'm freaking the hell out. Shankar or that other one, the Sarno person, like you said, Malaski. These are kids that, I mean, they're all grownups like me and old, but these are all. So like, you know, I talked about VT yesterday and then you're bringing up.

1:08:08 um um um that one um oh shoot um uh center today and dunes and then remember i was talking about mandalay bay which is now circus no it was circus circus because it was hacienda it's sinking because of the water um anyway so again did everybody that i freaking grew up in las vegas that had casino ties were their families all cia mafia or cia yes

1:08:35 Well, they're all mafia, but they're all getting tied into your stories. Right. But CIA and mafia are basically brothers. They're definitely related. They were not enemies. They worked together on everything. So yes, is the answer to your question. I'm just kind of freaking out by this whole thing right now, because like I said, I mean, Steve, when I mean, if you follow the history of this stuff, it follows exactly what you're saying. A lot of the timelines and things like that, some of these.

1:09:09 It's just, and they have banks here too. They have, I mean, insurances, all kinds of, I mean, it's everything that you're saying. I know. Yes, that's exactly right. I mean, that guy that you were just talking about, he used to represent Hoffa. Well, there you have it. Yeah, it's all, that's why I found this book fascinating. It ties into literally everything that we've been talking about. Go ahead, Miss Lou.

1:09:44 You just said another gobsmacking moment. Was Mayor Lansky, Florida and Las Vegas, was he a CIA asset? So he worked, obviously he worked with the Navy. I don't know if you know his story, but he worked with the Office of Naval Intelligence during World War II.

1:10:06 He was one of the people that the mafia originally, when after World War II, and they decided that they were going to prop up Chiang Kai-shek and bring all of the heroin into the United States to fund covert operations. Initially, the mafia didn't want to have anything to do with it. They already had their bookies. They had the gambling. They had prostitution. And they weren't going to get involved in the distribution of drugs.

1:10:35 Thanks to Meyer Lansky and Santo Trapacani and a few others, they definitely got involved in it. And yes, Meyer Lansky was part and parcel of this whole operation. They work as the, so technically you can think of them as the domestic CIA. So CIA supposedly only works overseas, but obviously their drug trafficking network has to be managed from the inside of the United States.

1:11:05 From the post-World War II, when all of the heroin started flooding in from Southeast Asia through Taiwan, well, Burma first, and then Taiwan, and then eventually Laos, and Afghanistan, and blah, blah, blah. The mafia was the distribution inside of the United States.

1:11:26 You know, eventually they bring in the Cuban exiles and they bring in the Somoza Nicaraguans and the Somoza Nicaraguans was doing the Colombian cocaine on the West Coast. The Cuban exiles was doing it on the East Coast. So they have a network inside and a lot of the network is directly connected to the mafia. That's a great question. That makes total sense. That makes total sense. Yeah.

1:11:57 Yeah, yeah. Guru, go ahead. Yeah, Colonel, I was wondering your perspective. What happened really during the Las Vegas shooting? I was there, I watched the news, and nothing made sense. But later on, I found out on my own. But I'm just curious, what's your perspective on it and reflection? What really happened and why during the Las Vegas shooting?

1:12:26 okay stellar you want to um take your first stab at that um um well the cia was well they were wanting to assassinate um one of the um the prince the one that's good friends with um donald trump right now mbs mbs thank you

1:12:42 um and um yeah muhammad bin salman so they um it was a foil to not do that um there were a lot there were helicopters that were shooting from there different floors from mandalay bay but there were shootings over shots fired all over the strip um tropicana all the way far north is mirage but um it was mainly by the airport it was a um

1:13:06 It was foiled near the Tropicana Hotel and stuff like that. They saved his life. So Trump, because I saw Air Force One was here in town because I was supposed to go to that Harvest Festival as well. I was just running late. And by the time I got home to change to head back down is when everything went crazy. So the whole thing was BS, the patsy that they said. No, I mean.

1:13:30 the whole thing i mean how the if you follow the people that have done it there's all kinds of photographs or videos showing that there were multiple places where the shots were fired and definitely from a helicopter and that helicopter company went under literally within they disappeared they just like disappeared so there was um

1:13:52 an exercise going on in Northern Arizona at the time, a military exercise. So there was a lot of foreign pilots in the area. And all of the information that I've looked through indicates to me, as Stellar articulated, that the entire thing was set up to mask an assassination of MBS.

1:14:22 When that was falling apart in real time, the weapons that were going to be gathered up in that room in order to orchestrate this assassination attempt was for planting a story. And the Patsy guy is...

1:14:48 Depending on which researcher you look through, he was dead before the shooting ever even happened. And there's a lot of evidence that says that's true. The way the whole doors were set up, and that's not to say there weren't shots fired out of there, but the whole story as it's broken down, based on bullet trajectory and all of those types of things, that was not where...

1:15:18 So the mass slaying of people was the side effect for what was supposed to actually be happening, which was the assassination of MBS. And so you had a whole lot of things going on there. And I don't believe at all that there was a single shooter that did all of that. There's just no way. So that's my opinion of it.

1:15:49 Miss Lou, go ahead. Why was shooting at the people at the festival? It's how they distract. So what we have found out in our research of Operation Gladio, when they are trying to do something and they want a mass terror event, they love music venues.

1:16:14 So they time them at the same time to incorporate a music venue because you kill women and children, which gives you the mass terror psychological maximum benefit for every bullet.

1:16:31 killing men is a typical war time you don't get as much terror out of that event at all so they always want to include at least one woman and preferably children because that traumatizes your entire country um as being vulnerable and when you're vulnerable you look to the state or to the federal government in our case for protection so these mass terror events are get are

1:17:00 are conditioning us psychologically to seek more and bigger oppressive government so if you're so if you're going to try to attack someone um if you can incorporate the terror event as part of the scenario you really get a much better um from their perspective a much better effect go ahead stellar

1:17:31 Mario was planned way ahead of the time. Yes. So basically, was the meeting with MBS private or official? It did not appear to be an official meeting, as in, you know, one that was well broadcast ahead of time. So it had to have been someone that knew internal operations. Let me go to Stellar. Go ahead, Stellar.

1:18:02 Okay, so yes. Okay, so when all the people got, when they were shooting people up, we know that there were helicopters and things like that that were there. There were plenty of witnesses that had that. Multiple witnesses stated that there were helicopters that were shooting down, okay? There was a helicopter company that was very close to the airport. I can't remember the name of it. I used to know. I'll find it, and I'll put it down on the bottom after the space closes and stuff.

1:18:32 five years i want to say and it was in beforehand so it's like yes absolutely they had it planned um he was here the prince was here on pleasure he was not here on official business um he was staying at an mgm property um a couple years earlier mgm did a whole like during trump's administration in the beginning mgm changed they got rid of a lot of their big time um like

1:18:55 people that were getting paid like the upper end they were doing a whole restructuring and including the ceo he ended up stepping down okay um joe lombardo who is now the governor of nevada um after this whole thing happened he was being a lot more open but you could tell that the fbi was behind him and you could tell that he was controlled a lot of they they seized a lot of the um videos and stuff like that from people

1:19:23 A lot of the witnesses from back then are all dead now from other musical festivals and things like that. So it's still ongoing. Right after Donald Trump got back into office this last time, the entire Las Vegas field office was fired. So let that sink in. So yes, it was definitely planned for a long time. And then even afterwards, and we're still trying to figure out what happened to the $33 million.

1:19:48 that lombardo it gave him the governorship but lombardo and um the marin guy we're trying to figure out what happened to that money because nobody's ever really received it but people are dying still to this day from it with unusual circumstances and the 33 million dollars was money raised for the victims is that is that what you're saying yeah okay

1:20:12 Yes, yes. It was a GoFundMe that Sisolak, who was our mayor at the time. So we all figured that was how Lombardo became because he bought his president or he bought his governorship through that being controlled by the FBI. So we just think that there's a lot of stuff still going on here. And the FBI was cleaned out of here. We have all new FBI, from my understanding, and investigations with the field office that was here. Interesting. Miss Lou, go ahead.

1:20:38 Hey, Stella, I want to say quickly, I'm sorry. I think I called you Bridget earlier. I have a great, great.

1:20:51 Oh, listen, I know. Incredible. In light of this whole subject, I have an incredible movie recommendation for you guys. It's called Diary of a Spy. And you'll probably get a cheap rent or maybe free on Prime. It's a couple years ago. And it was during Trump's first administration. Two CIA assets, one female who just screwed up her job in the Middle East, ends up back in L.A. and is told by the station chief there, you only get to keep your job if you honeypot this other.

1:21:20 cia babysitting mbs's either cousin or sister or something whole saudi plot cia thing happening in l.a and the male that doesn't know the female ass that works for the company and thinks it's just a girlfriend asking a lot of questions but it's a really really interesting move that kind of shows you know some of the goes over about

1:21:50 But it's a spy movie and it's fun. So check it out, A Diary of a Spy. It's interesting that so many of the movies parallel stories that are real. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So if we don't have anything else, I'm going to jump off here and go have dinner.

1:22:22 I thought we were going to be farther in this book. This book is, it's got just so much in it. But we're almost done. We're almost done. We're over halfway. What is your plans for shows next week? I don't know. My daughter should be here late Sunday. So what I may do, let me just check real quick. I've got a show first thing tomorrow morning.

1:22:52 It's a radio thing that's out of the country, so it won't be a local thing. And so what I may do is I may just do two shows, one tomorrow and one on Sunday in the morning. And then that way it'll be available for you guys to listen to if you can't actually make the show. Because on Monday.

1:23:20 I plan on doing a show and I'm definitely doing a show on Tuesday. So it, and then I will do one on Friday. So probably will not do one on Christmas Eve or Christmas. Let's see. Yeah. I will have to do the one on Tuesday a little early because we have Santa Claus pictures with my grandson at five o'clock.

1:23:48 so we'll start that a little early i'll get a schedule out this evening while i'm eating dinner and then i'll post all of it on one post on x that will carry us from tomorrow through tuesday with times is that fair yes okay yep okay all right so you guys how are you also on rumble are you also on rumble yeah i'm on i'm live on rumble um on all of these spaces you can see my

1:24:20 um okay face and my i love me wall behind me yeah we always we always do the dual cast we do here so i can talk to you guys and then we do it on rumble so it's saved there and people can go back and look at it um we have a lot of people that have contacted me that

1:24:39 After, you know, has gone back and did the entire book through the series that Bridget puts together under the thumbnail. They just kind of binge watched through the whole book as opposed to reading the book themselves. So, yeah, all of our material is on both Rumble and here. Stellar, go ahead.

1:25:01 All along popped up, but I think what we should do is get in touch with all of these book companies and make sure that we let them know that you referred them so you can get discounts for the upcoming ones that you're going to educate us on. That would be nice. That would be very nice. That's a good idea, actually. Yeah, I could use the discount, that's for sure. But I do want to say thank you to all of you. I get things in the mail.

1:25:28 from you guys um you guys have contacted me through the spotify shop that has our gladio paraphernalia there um and you guys have contributed to this effort you guys have subscribed to this um x account you subscribe to rumble um you guys subscribe to my um sub stack and some of your um monthly contributors to those different things and i can't thank you enough um obviously um

1:25:58 i spend a lot of money on the books but to me it's well worth it but i do so appreciate all of you guys um with the whatever they call it the buy me a copy thing although i don't have that but it's basically the same thing that once a month um you guys um through your subscriptions on those different platforms um provide the offset to the investment

1:26:25 that i've made as a matter of fact i had to get a um recently i had to get a bigger computer um because on stream yard they only store fit like rumble you have indefinite storage all of your stuff is on the rumble platform but on stream yard where we do the war hamster show they will only allow you and we used it extensively at first because rumble didn't have a studio they will only allow you to have 50 hours of videos so the only way to store them and i know you can get a hard drive and all that

1:26:54 other stuff i don't know how any of that stuff works so i had to go out and buy um that was my christmas present to myself this year is i went out and bought me one of those like two gigabyte um

1:27:05 MacBooks so that I was able to continue forward and download the videos on there. Now, obviously, at some point, the StreamYard ones are not going to be as relevant because we've switched to Rumble and almost everything except for our Secret Society videos are on the Rumble platform.

1:27:27 We're working through it. We're trying to figure it out. I definitely want to get somebody to do a music video. If you guys know anybody that does music videos, we need a Gladio music video. I know exactly what I want it to do. And I know exactly what song I want to use on it. But I have no clue how to do any of that stuff. So Guru, go ahead.

1:27:54 Usually on this space, it's very rare to find people like yourself of your military background, but I'm just very curious that you are so eager to speak openly about these events. I mean, things really didn't make sense to me. You know, I came to U.S. literally, you know, right before the civil war broke out in my own land.

1:28:19 And I always saw U.S. as a country of great opportunities and a free land. But when I start learning what is really going on underneath, it became scaring. And then being there in Las Vegas, I actually literally thought that country was going to broke into a civil war. So I'm really fascinated about that you speak openly about all of this. And I think it's about time that people like yourself speak. Where are you from, Guru?

1:28:44 where are you from i wouldn't i wouldn't want to speak sorry i want to keep still some privacy okay so tell me what region of the world you're from europe okay all right yeah so i i will be very honest with you um one of the last vestiges of america is still our freedom of speech um i would have when i retired in 2008 i would have never envisioned

1:29:14 myself sitting where I'm sitting today ever. I thought that everything the U.S. military did around the world was noble. We were all in the right places. We were saving people from the enemy communist or the enemy Islamic terrorist, whatever. I bought every single thing my government ever told me.

1:29:40 Four years ago, I've always been a big reader, and I had changed kind of the venue of books that I was reading. And I stumbled across Operation Gladio. And you being from Europe, you understand what that is. And I was dumbfounded. So I was stationed in Italy for three years in southern Italy down in San Vito. And I arrived in Italy the day.

1:30:05 that Andriotti announced to the Italian Senate that Operation Gladio was a real thing in the first week of August of 1990. And so I was there for the three years of civil unrest in Italy as all of this information spilled out.

1:30:23 And it was happening around me. And other than my landlord talking to me about some of the headlines when judges were being shot on courthouse steps and prosecutors were being mowed down in the road.

1:30:37 um because i'm like what the hell what i thought you guys were just like a civilized country this place is crazy she had always called it years of lead and so i never made the connection until i read paul williams book um called operation gladio and once you have lived the life that i did um and you know a lot of these players from the inside when you find out that your government has been lying to you about

1:31:07 the noble cause which isn't so noble someone like me who views myself as a patriot has a duty because my oath is still valid that i swore to uphold the constitution i owe it to my fellow fellow countrymen to tell the truth um to expose the lies that our government um and our media has spread

1:31:34 throughout this country we've been lied to for the last 75 years about literally everything um i have a very small audience but comparatively to some of these people but i feel it's my civic duty to do what i'm doing um i spend almost every waking hour um reading or posting um

1:31:59 basically calling people liars on X for being stupid. But I think the information has to get out and it's all of our jobs. And that's why I love this audience because you guys spread that information. It is through you guys spreading that information that I have been allowed to be on bigger platforms. I was just on a radio show this morning out in the...

1:32:28 Middle East of the country, or Midwest, sorry, on a local AM radio station. I will spend as long as it takes until the majority of the country knows what our real history is. And we have to be able to not only know what our history is, but then have the wherewithal once we find out all of the shit.

1:32:57 um to make the necessary changes in our government to never allow it to happen again um so i just feel it's my job to do that um all along go ahead yes once we're doing on phonology i mean you mentioned everybody's you know spilling the beans as it were in the year 1990s i mean it's kind of obvious you're real garbled far along

1:33:28 Oh, no. Okay, can you hear me now? Yeah. Sorry, can you hear me better now? Yes. Good. So, yeah, Ambiati coming out and spilling the beans about Operation Gladio in 1990 is in some way probably connected to, you know, it's always gone about the Cold War and, you know, that ending of the Cold War, so to speak. And similarly, I mean, chronology is important if you look at a movie like The Package.

1:33:57 which was made in 1989 in Hollywood, but it's based on both the micro and macro events of 1963. And it's like, what's the point here? At moments of geopolitical change, some writers and directors might feel that they can have more freedom, and then that change, it's gone. But also more generally, your point about...

1:34:27 the interplay between fiction and history or fiction and project um what you were saying earlier reminded me of the year 1975 which is such a critical year but like you know i'm just starting a process and you know how it ended up like nevertheless um and you know in part of the Rockefeller hearings of that year already one of the big names that came out was being used a lot was

1:34:56 especially in 75, was Howard Bunch, you know. And here was a guy who was a CIA agent who also just happened to write fiction, you know, spy fiction. And until April, same year, 1975, right, the Bravo movie comes out, Three Days of the Condor, and that scene opens with...

1:35:23 the main character played by Robert Redford, busting into an office in the West 60s in New York City here, and shooting a guy in the whole office. Their job is described as reading fiction for purposes of intelligence. In other words, they were reading fiction, and this comes out for intelligence purposes, and at the same time, this is in the same year that the Rockefeller Commission...

1:35:53 disclosed information that was in the media about lighting fixes. So it's an interesting time for that interplay. The other thing I just, very quickly, you know, that West 60s office is very, very clearly in the area, it's in the West 60s here in Manhattan, and that is a very Nelson, Rockefeller-centric neighborhood.

1:36:20 he mostly lived in the 60s in the west 60s and of course also we know that certain female um accomplices of jeffrey epstein had a area there in west 67th street that's not where the townhouse was but it's where right um was also in that building and i i believe he may have owned it actually um i mean his brother owned it so that's a very interesting neighborhood and um

1:36:50 Perhaps, you know, I should be reading too much. It's a fiction and nonfiction overlap in that year, 1975. This is very interesting to me. Yeah, I agree. It is weird how often they intertwine. And a lot of CIA people wrote.

1:37:13 quote unquote fiction books, so they didn't have to have their nonfiction books edited by the CIA. However, if you go and compare some of their fiction books, they really don't look all that fiction. They look a lot like nonfiction, if you actually know our real history. Yeah. All right, guys, I'm going to jump off here and grab some dinner.

1:37:38 Thanks again. I will get that schedule out to you guys in the next couple of hours for the next four days. And we'll trudge on through this book, get some more good information out there. Take care, everybody. Talk to you soon. And if I don't get to talk to you before now and Monday, have a nice weekend. Take care. See ya.
