0:00 Good afternoon, Colonel. How are you? I'm great. How are you? Going to be three degrees tomorrow morning. I'm telling you, three degrees. I'm jumping ship. You're just going to find me with my bags packed on your front door. I have an extra bedroom. You're always welcome. We can do another one of our infamous in-person shows. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You're always welcome here. I have an RV.

0:30 I have a cottage. I have... You are well-equipped. I am. I am. There was a big, enormous buck that just showed up on the cameras. That's the only thing... Well, that's your price of admission is venison, just so that you know that. Oh, my God. And you already... Oh, we just got back... I'm sorry. I know this is a totally dumb subject, but we just got back our stuff for this year from the one that I got this earlier. Yep.

0:59 And oh my God, probably the best we've ever gotten. Okay. Well, filet is my number one. Yes, you are a meat eater and we can provide. Yep. All right. So we're going to jump in. I have decided that I'm going to do a special show later tonight. And I'm going to surprise all along.

1:29 We're going to talk about the MLK assassination and how it links up to Operation Gladio. So hopefully he'll join us and we can let him know. I'm going to probably do it around 7 to 7.30 timeframe. I'll put out a post and let you guys know. He had posted a...

1:57 He had tagged me in a post that had the transcripts of the conspiracy trial that happened much later after the assassination. And I found some fascinating information in it. So I'm going to do a separate show on that later this evening. So, because my husband's at a car show and I'm going to be dangerous. We're going to start chapter eight. The name of the chapter is Michener and the Mule.

2:29 And it starts off with the connection of Robert Corson to the CIA via Michener and was first told to the author by two intelligence operatives and was confirmed by two Texas law enforcement officials. According to Will Northrup, Corson rode the CIA mule in with the Republican Party. Northrup.

2:57 He is a good old boy from North Carolina who graduated from military school and fought in Vietnam. He lives in Israel and holds dual citizenship there in the U.S. He also claims to have been a colonel in the Israeli military intelligence. Northrop was a key liaison between the CIA in Israel and Central America during the early 1980s.

3:21 He was pushed out after Oliver North's enterprise ostensibly took over the Contra War from the CIA. They're actually one in the same. Northrup hates North with a passion, but like William Casey, the late CIA head, whom he dealt with directly. Congressional investigators found that Casey's phone logs showed him in frequent contact with Northrup. According to

3:52 a May 1988 UPI story about the Iran-Contra affair. Now, let me point out a couple of things about this. So Will Northrup is a dual citizen, Israeli, with the US and worked in military intelligence, which means he worked for the IDF. Why is that important to...

4:19 this whole Operation Gladio scenario. The reason why it's important is because we found multiple IDF people throughout Latin America. Remember the whole story about creating the Galil weapons manufacturing company in Latin America to produce rifles, which you wouldn't do if you weren't planning on camping out there for a long time, like Operation Condor type long time.

4:49 Because normally you do what we were doing. You ship in the weapons. You don't actually go in and build an entire Israeli weapons manufacturing company unless you know you're gonna be there for a long time and you're gonna be selling a lot of shit. But that's what Israel did. And they did it through the IDF. And what's also interesting about this connection is that the IDF, if you guys remember, there was a three level terrorist training camp.

5:19 that ran the narco networks. There was the School of Americas, of which all of the installed dictators were graduates of. And Maduro jokingly said, I can't be a dictator because I didn't go to the School of Americas. And for those of us who know, we knew what he was referring to. The second level of training was in Taiwan. And we were shocked when we discovered the massive presence of Taiwanese people.

5:49 in Latin America. But it makes perfect sense now that we know Taiwan is a key node in the narco trafficking, or at least was for decades under Chiang Kai-shek. Their school was called the Political Warfare Cadre Academy. And it basically taught Latin American entities that the CIA set up

6:16 and they were terrorist organizations, to adopt a political party name, hence the name political warfare, and claim that they were a quote-unquote Democrat party, a Democratic political party, and therefore it gave CIA cover when they did this to say, no, we're supporting democracy. We're not actually aiding terrorist organizations.

6:47 But it was a terrorist organization with a political party attached to it, almost like you see the Democrat Party today. This is a tactic. They had an entire academy that taught them. And it taught them all of the advanced techniques of terrorism as well. And that was located in Taiwan. The level three school that many of the narco elite went to was in Israel. It was a one-year school ran by the IDF.

7:15 And several of the initial cadre of the narco quote unquote cartels went to that school. So this is part and parcel of everything that we've found out. Back to the story. Northrop was indicted by a federal grand jury in New York in April 1986, along with some other Israelis and Sam Evans.

7:45 an attorney for Saudi Arabian middleman Aiden Khashoggi, the weapons guy, since we were just talking about weapons. They were arrested for conspiring to sell weapons to Iran. And of course, those weapons transited Israel. The charges were dropped after one of the key witnesses died.

8:14 And the Reagan administration's own arms sales to Iran became public. They're all really kind of the same thing. There is some speculation that the Israel intelligence agents leaked the U.S. secret Iranian arms for hostage deal in retaliation for the indicted Israelis. And I wouldn't put that past them at all.

8:43 Ask about, but also understand the CIA is in bed with them too. Ask about Corson. Northrop replied, quote, I have heard that Corson had very heavy agency connections. Corson has all the moves and all the connections, but I can't tell you that he has come across my radar screen like Dickie Beneke has, or even some minor players like Oliver North or somebody like that.

9:15 Corson was really sort of a homegrown Republican type of guy. The difference between a guy like Beneke and a guy like Corson is that Beneke was born into this stuff. And Corson sort of rode or seemingly rode the mule in with the Republican Party. I haven't, I really haven't looked that hard at Corson.

9:40 I've run across his name and somebody would mention him from time to time, but I can't really say he was a CIA operative in the sense like Beneke was. I've seen Beneke in the field. All this is such home cooking. You don't know where the CIA stops and where the Republicans start, unquote. Corson would one day attach himself to some very influential Republican politicians in Houston.

10:11 who is also a close friend and political operative of George Bush's. That's going to be discussed in the next chapter. According to Meneke, Corson worked with him in laundering money for the CIA. He went on to say his group would take cash from the organized crime-controlled casinos in Nevada and physically transport it outside the country to be used for CIA purposes.

10:43 couriers who transported the money, Vanake said. Quote, there was no doubt in my mind that Corson was a contract agent. The people in Langley, meaning CIA, the eight-hour types, said Corson was agency, and he spoke about his friends in Washington, D.C., unquote. A Texas law enforcement official who has worked with American intelligence agencies confirmed Corson's work for the CIA.

11:12 This officer said that Corson also did work for the Israelis, but may not have known it because there were several layers of cutouts between him and the Israelis. A former Israeli intelligence officer, Aryan bin Minash, who was involved in shipping billions of dollars worth of weapons to Iran during the Iran-Iraq war,

11:37 has alleged that Beneke was used by him and his associates as a stalking horse or red herring to divert attention away from the real weapons deals. Ben Meneshe was indicted in 1989 in a U.S. Customs sting operation for attempting to sell three C-130 aircraft to Iran. After spending 11 months in jail without bail, he was acquitted.

12:09 by a New York jury. He also claims that the Bush administration went after him because he had leaked information on an earlier American arms for hostage deal with Iran. Ben Meneshe has claimed it was he who leaked this information to the Lebanese newspaper, which began the exposure of the Iran side of the Iran-Contra scandal. He said he did this in retaliation for the indictments of the...

12:40 Israelis in the 1986 sting operation that included Northrop. However, Ben Meneshe has said that he did it because of others Israelis involved and not Northrop, who he said was working with a different group. Ben Meneshe, like Benenke, was disparaged by some media critics after he emerged from the closet.

13:10 An Israeli government official stance on Ben Meneshe since his arrest has been that he was a low-level translator. But recent revelations that have emerged from inside Israel tell a much different story. During an interview with freelance journalist Craig Unger, Mose Hevroni, former aide-de-camp to the director of Israeli military intelligence, said, quote,

13:41 Ben Menashe worked directly under me. He had worked for the Foreign Flow Desk in external relationships. He had access to very, very sensitive material. And we've already talked about these aid to camps. If you guys remember, the executive officers in aid to camps are like their right hand. They're like the gatekeepers. They see everything. Ben Menashe

14:10 also served as a source for a respected investigative journalist, Seymour Hersh, in his book about the Samson option. Several of these intelligence sources have been criticized by some reporters and others, including George Bush, who have tried to debunk the so-called October surprise theory. This book isn't about the October surprise, and I have no opinion about it. However, there are two points to consider.

14:40 Criticizing a theory by attacking its proponents rather than the substance is a weak and questionable mythology. And these people have greater credibility and a better record of telling the truth than anyone in the CIA or George Bush. That's a fact. The company that Benenke and Corson worked for in money laundering mafia cash for the CIA, according to Benenke, was called the Internal Fund.

15:10 for mergers and acquisition. It was incorporated by Beneke and none other than Panama in 1970 and set up to be an offshore mutual fund. It would take money from Americans and invest it offshore so that the income was not taxable. Panamanian incorporation papers show that Beneke was the vice president of this organization and Ramon, I'll spell his last name,

15:39 D'Onofrio was the president. And I'm going to try to pronounce his name. I'll butcher it. D'Onofrio, who was mentioned before when we were talking about the SEC investigation of Charles Herchwitz, is a notorious con man and fraud stock artist who has been convicted three times for bankruptcy fraud and stock fraud.

16:10 He's the perfect person to put in charge of an illicit entity that they're going to use for money laundering because he's already a criminal. The 1983, in 1983, the New York Times named him as a business associate of Alfred Baller, B-A-U-L-E-R. He is a Lichtenstein lawyer and businessman and CIA contract agent.

16:43 and Paymaster in Europe. Now remember, Lichtenstein is one of their favorite places to money launder because of the banking system there. Baller had been shielded by the CIA from questioning by any U.S. law enforcement official about his illegal activities, including the use of Swiss banks and Lichtenstein companies by organized crime, including the CIA. Dionofrio

17:14 testified under oath before the SEC regarding Bueller's activities with Penn Central, which went bankrupt in 1971. He revealed that Bueller told him he assisted manipulation, excuse me, assisted manipulators like myself doing illegal things. In other words, they were money laundering and another bank failed, which cost us money. Furthermore,

17:43 An unpublished report obtained by this reporter, meaning the author of this book, quoted Dionofio as having done work for the CIA in Africa. Now, what was going on in Africa? Remember that at the beginning of the 1960s, we overthrew the Congo, and then we went ahead and overthrew quite a few of the countries over there to include being involved in Angola and...

18:13 several other countries over there during this time period. So that's the work they're talking about. Benenke said there was very little activity with this company in the first years of its existence. It was then turned over to the CIA to launder money for Central America, including later assistance of the Contras. That was Richard Benenke's connection. That was his recollection of things of that nature.

18:43 But I have no recollection of it, de Onofio said. In 1988, there was a report by a Washington-based International Center of Development Policy, which was an anti-Contra organization where Beneke briefly worked. It quotes Jose Blanton. Now, remember who Jose Blanton is, a former Pandemanian intelligence chief.

19:17 as saying that this company was used by Mike Harari for money laundering. And who is Harari? Well, we've come across him quite often in this story of Operation Gladio. He was also an Israeli intelligence officer and a close contact of the Panamanian dictator, Manuel Noriega.

19:44 He was reportedly arrested by American forces in Panama during the 1989 military action there. Government officials later denied that he had been captured. And several days later, he showed up in Israel. So he was actually escorted out of the country like so many of these operatives are while they go after their target. This company was a CIA laundering in Panama City.

20:14 vouchers Northrop, Mike Harari was just following orders. D'Onofio said he doesn't remember Corson, but adds that that's not unusual because Beneke had other people that he used. Corson is listed in a federal law enforcement record as a known money launderer, said a law enforcement official who had access to those records.

20:41 But sometime between 87 and 89, information on Corson's airplane trips from the United States to Panama and to the Cayman Islands, both well-known money laundering havens, was erased from federal crime information computers, according to people who actually worked with those files. Just disappeared. Not like anything like that's ever happened before.

21:11 It appears that Corson and his attorney, Stephen Cass Weiland, may know this. In December 21st, 1989, in a letter to the author, Weiland stated, you may recall that you told me on December 20th that you had law enforcement records that indicated that he, Corson, had made at least 18 trips to the Cayman Islands in Panama.

21:39 You and your editors and your lawyers should understand that information is not correct. And further investigation on your part should easily demonstrate the lack of credibility, which you, for some reason, attach to your unnamed and otherwise unidentified law enforcement records. So this lawyer knows because he's routinely hired by the CIA to represent their criminals in America.

22:06 He knows that that data has now been erased, and he tells the author that it's not there anymore. That's how bold these people are. Weiland never responded to a letter from the author six days later, asking him on how many trips Corson had made to the Caymans in Panama. Since he categorically stated 18 was incorrect. Beneke and Corson got into CIA work through Michener.

22:36 Corson introduced Benenke to Michener in mid-1970s in the lobby of Michener's bank, Allied Bank, in downtown Houston. Benenke recalled describing a mural on the wall. I met Michener originally through Corson. I didn't work with Michener. He was a couple of steps above me.

23:02 But he added that he had no doubt that Michener had strong connections to the CIA since it's Michener that went down and bought 12% of Belize for terrorist training camps for the CIA and dirt airport strips for connecting flights. Neither does Northrop. Quote, it's my understanding that Corson didn't have the juice that Michener did, unquote.

23:31 Northup said he only met Michener once at a Republican fundraiser in Texas. When first questioned about his alleged ties to the CIA, Michener denied that he had ever done any work for the agency. In a later interview, he was even more adamant. I guess I would have felt a little complimented if they had asked me.

24:00 They never, I never, I guess they didn't ever figure I was of any use to them because they sure as hell never asked me anything, unquote. And we know that's not true. Michener then insisted that he could prove that he had never worked for the CIA. He said he was arranging for someone to get a letter from the agency. Sorry, I did that out loud. That said that he had never done any work for him.

24:29 The agency says even their own agents aren't theirs. When I asked him who was arranging that, he replied, none of your damn business. When I told Michener, meaning the author, that he would like to see a copy of the letter and put it in the book, he said to hell with you and the letter and the book. When the author told a former Houston law enforcement official and co-author of a book about the Houston CIA agent that Michener had said,

25:03 about the Houston CIA agent, Michener had said, he commented, quote, about the only thing Walter, meaning Michener, could use that letter for was to blow his nose, unquote. And that's literally true. As a matter of policy, the CIA never confirms or denies any of its agencies. All right. Michener also acted astonished that Corson worked for the CIA.

25:34 What in the world would he be doing for the CIA, he asked. Questioned whether he knew Ramon de Onofio, he said no. Is he a CIA guy? The CIA has some strange people from time to time, Michener said. In a letter dated February 20, 1990, to the Houston Post, Corson stated that he had never known or been involved with anyone in organized crime or the CIA.

26:04 That is not an explicit denial. The question is whether Corson did any work for the CIA. If he was a cutout, he could have worked for the CIA, yet his statement could have actually been true as well. They're very careful about how they word those things. The CIA, as its custom, has so far neither confirmed or denied any relationship to Corson. The lawyer who helped Corson with his letter,

26:34 and also represents him in the savings and loan criminal charges, and who has represented him on civil matters, Stephen Cass Weiland, with Jackson and Walker in Dallas. It is unusual for a Dallas attorney to be representing a native Houston boy like Corson, because they have their own lawyers, especially ones that work on this kind of business in Houston. It is very weird.

27:04 Weiland refuses to say how he met Corson and came to represent him. Before Weiland moved to Dallas and started representing Corson, he was a top aide to Senator William Roth, who is a Republican from Delaware, which is really weird, and the chief counsel for the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which Roth chaired. While at the committee,

27:36 while in concentrated and conducted investigations regarding precious metal fraud, international narcotics trafficking, offshore bank and money laundering. So just to be clear, you are seeing right here, this guy's dirty. He's on the Senate staff in charge of investigations over the very thing he's involved in, just like the guy that just got arrested.

28:05 That was the DEA chief for money laundering, and he retires and gets arrested for money laundering. This is how this whole system works. I want you guys to understand it. It's how they've been able to get away with it for decades. They have their own people on the staff of the Senate. It doesn't matter who you elect. They're still going to be there. Weiland refused to answer questions about whether he had encountered

28:36 Corson in any of those investigations. Weiland's former boss, Senator Roth, is related by marriage to the DuPonts, because of course he is, because he's from Delaware. One of the country's oldest and richest families headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. Roth is married to the former Jane Richards, the daughter of Robert Richards Jr. According to the book DuPont Dynasty, Richards is a director of the DuPont Company.

29:05 and Wilmington Trust. Quote, Jane's grandfather, Robert Richards Sr., is the guiding genius secretary of Pierre DuPont Christiana Securities, the family's holding company. So he's an officer in the company. Ross' brother-in-law, Jane's brother, Robert H. Richards III,

29:37 is married to Mariana DuPont, the granddaughter of Irene DuPont, the patriarch of the DuPont family that died in 1963. And this is very, very important because we're gonna talk about a huge deal later on in this book about the DuPonts that they did in Florida and how it was involved in all of the failed savings and loans. So this connection,

30:07 of this guy being Corson, CIA operative's attorney, is huge. The DuPonts also connect to Corson through St. Joe Paper Company. That's the name of the company in Florida, which was founded by family rebel, Alfred DuPont, who moved to Florida and made another fortune. His most valuable holding was St. Joe, the state's largest...

30:37 private landowner in Florida. He owned over 1 million acres, and it basically was forest for his paper mill. In the summer of 86, Corson's savings and loan was bankrupted and eventually failed, primarily because it had lent $20 million toward this DuPont land deal, which in

31:08 in total was $200 million purchase of just 21,000 acres of the land from St. Joe Company. The DuPonts are no stranger to the CIA either. Alfred DuPont's son, Alfred Victor DuPont, an architect, was recruited by General William Bill Donovan to work in the OSS during World War II. DuPont served on the OSS's...

31:39 French desk. And keep in mind, this is huge because NATO was selected to be set up in France originally, and it was. And they set up the Gladio cells in France prior to the end of World War II, taking over ones that had already been planted there by Hitler, actually Reinhard Galen.

32:11 Also, when William Casey, who headed the CIA under Reagan, was an attorney in the private practice in the 50s, he was hired by two DuPont brothers for tax advice and their inheritance. Casey handled the matter so well for them that they made him a partner in one of their companies investing in oil leases, which made Casey almost a million dollars when the company was liquidated. That's how they prepay for their services.

32:42 In 1983, Richard DuPont, Summit Aviation, retrofitted a Cessna to carry bombs and machine guns that was used by the CIA to bomb Nicaragua. And there was actually an account on September 8th, 1983, where that actually happened. Summit also allegedly transported arms for the Contras in retrofitted Cessnas.

33:12 so that the Contras could use them to fire rockets. Imagine that, the DuPonts. And weirdly enough, isn't that where Joe Biden come from? Yes. And wasn't Joe Biden's son the guy that got off the DuPont for pedophilia? Yes. It's all connected. Helping Richard DuPont with Summit Aviation was none other than Pat Foley, and he was a CIA asset.

33:44 Also, Rob Owens, and if you remember Rob Owens, Rob Owens is the guy that was Oliver Norse. We've talked about him in Gary Webb's book. Rob Owens is the guy that was Oliver Norse's right-hand man that they stuck in the State Department under that made-up entity so that he could hide in the State Department while Oliver North hid in the National Security Council, all of them working.

34:14 with the CIA on Iran-Contra. In a memo to North on February 10th, 1986, Rob Owens wrote, no doubt you know the DC-4 Foley got was used at one point for running drugs in part of a group that had a criminal record. Nice group the boys chose, meaning the CIA. That's who he's referring to when he talks about the boys.

34:48 When he was chief counsel of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Weiland made a cameo appearance along with his boss, Senator Roth, in Oliver North's White House notebooks. On January 6, 1984, North got a phone call from a George Woodworth regarding Weiland and identified him as the counsel for Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

35:19 North then wrote that Weiland wants Woodworth to proceed with a meeting with Sergio Brule, B-R-U-L-L, in Miami. The next line was set off in quote marks by North. Quote, White House, underlined twice by North, is interested in moving on Project In Belize, unquote.

35:48 said by Weiland to Tazewell. The next entry in the diary shows his schedule for the coming Tuesday on which he has a meeting with Roth and Weiland set up at 1230. Sergio knows Vesco, ex-bodyguard who is in Spain. And who's Vesco? Robert Vesco is the guy that was down in Costa Rica in Gary Webb's book.

36:18 that was arranging arms, drug trafficking and everything. He ends up being a fugitive. He has a whole long story as well. But this just goes to show you, this is all one big happy family all working together. And Wylan, who ends up being Corson's attorney.

36:38 When Corson lives in Houston and Weiland's in Dallas is very suspect. It tells you everything you need to know that Corson was a CIA asset and he's assigned an attorney to work. That's how it works. We've established that over and over. And they use the same attorneys over and over because they're read in. Brule, who is mentioned in Norse notebooks later in association with a CIA connected gun dealer.

37:08 Ron Martin, who was a Cuban businessman who reportedly fought at the Bay of Pigs. And by Cuban, they mean Cuban exile as in the CIA. In a May 13th, 1986 conversation recorded in Norse Notebook between North and his liaison, Robert Owen, there's a discussion of Brule. They talk about him in connection with the purchase of an airplane and having contacts.

37:36 with John Molina, a banker for Ron Martin, who was gunned down in the streets of Panama City in 1987. On July 29, 1986, North had a meeting with retired General Richard Secord, who was running the Contra resupply effort, as well as handling all the arms shipments to Iran. They discussed Ron Martin and Sergio Brule.

38:05 along with Miami gun dealer David Duncan, and the use of East German ship that Panamanian dictator Noriega was holding. Bruhl was also named by Secord in an interview he had with the FBI in 1986. Secord said Bruhl was an associate of Jack Terrell, who had been involved in efforts to resupply the Contras. In 89,

38:36 Brule was sued by a bank in Haiti for allegedly absconding with the proceeds of $1.4 million in a letter of credit that was to buy 5,000 tons of Brazilian sugar for Haiti. The bank couldn't locate Brule to serve him for the lawsuit and alleged that he had fled the country. The bank was able to track the $1.4 million.

39:05 that he took to a bank in Madrid, Spain. And why does that matter? Because remember, Madrid, Spain, after World War II, when Otto Skorzeny, who was going to be the whole Gladio trainer, showed up in Paris because he has that big scar on his face, immediately got identified and they had to move him and run the logistics of Operation Gladio out of Madrid, Spain, who was...

39:33 under the control of Franco, the dictator in Spain at the time. And a lot of the logistics and money switching happened in Madrid. It was a hotbed for Operation Gladio. And Otto Skorzeny was the trainer for all of those people for the CIA. So all of these people keep showing up in Spain. Another member of the circle who was in Belize around the time was Carl Jenkins.

40:03 He's a CIA agent whose previous claim to fame was his role in Rafael Chichi Quintero's case officer during the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Quintero, an infamous CIA operative who worked with Thomas Klein and Edwin Wilson, among others, was brought in by Secord and Klein to help with the Contra resupply effort. Now, why is that important? Edward?

40:32 Edwin Wilson is the guy that was in Libya brokering weapons into Gaddafi that the CIA set up and sent to jail. Thomas Klein shows up in so many of these things, especially the ones that deal with drugs. Jenkins is mentioned in a number of places in North's notebook, including one memorable list by North that reads, Gene Wheaton, Carl Jenkins, John Hall.

41:00 John Hall is the guy that had the ranch in Costa Rica. Rob Owens, who is Oliver North's right-hand man. This list was compiled by North on April 18th, 1986, apparently during a telephone conversation with Alan Fiers, director of the CIA's Central American Task Force, who would later plead guilty to misleading Congress on the Contra affairs.

41:26 Now, remember, Alan Fiers is the guy that was covering for the corrupt DEA in El Salvador, where they were running everything out of El Palapango, whatever the airport is there, with the death squads in El Salvador. He covered all of the operations down there. And he's the guy that, in Gary Webb's book, got the DEA guy fired.

41:52 that was trying to tell everybody in Washington, D.C., hey, they're running drugs and weapons out of here. The one honest guy in all of that. And they tried to set him up when he went to Costa Rica to try to communicate outside of his own office. That's who Fires is. He's corrupt as hell. Almost every time Jenkins appears in Norse Notebook, he is in the company of Wheaton, the former Pentagon criminal investigator. What?

42:22 Wheaton said Jenkins was using the tiny nation of Belize as a training area for Latin American and Laotians to fight Nicaraguans. Yes, Laos, Laos, where we were running all of the opium out of. This is what I'm telling you guys. All of these people are moved around to all of these countries to do all of these operations. And when they're not actively involved in the country, the CIA brings their ass back here.

42:53 That's how come you have that Afghan guy shooting those National Guard people. Every one of these drug trafficking assassins, when they send them out on a mission and put them in country to run Iran-Contra or whatever garbage they're running, when they're not there, they're here. They brought all of the Cuban exiles into Miami. That's where they all lived. And they deployed them out of Miami. This happens all over the United States.

43:22 One of Jenkins' first assignments with the CIA was in the 1954 coup in Guatemala. Jenkins and his helicopter company in Guatemala were also customers of commercial helicopters in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This company got most of its financing from the mafia, Herman Beebe. And one of its principals was a close friend of a drug dealer and CIA asset, Barry Seals.

43:52 Crazy. On January 11th, 1984, the name, the day after North had scheduled a meeting with Weiland and Senator Ross regarding Belize, North got another phone call from George Woodworth. He wrote in his notebook that it was about Weiland. This is what it said, quote, wants to contact, the next word's illegible, people in Belize camps, unquote. The Belize camps.

44:23 are their terrorist training camp. The word that is illegible appears to be a four-letter word that begins with D-R and the last letter is G, meaning drug people. About the same time that Jenkins was training anti-Sandinistas, or Contras is a better word, in Belize, and Corson's future attorney was saying the White House was interested in moving on with the project in Belize.

44:53 a friend of George Bush's and Ronald Reagan's biggest campaign funder in 1980, Walter Michener, was getting involved, and Walter Michener, as a reminder, is Corson's ex-father-in-law. He was getting involved in Belize. He started out in 1984, you're never gonna guess it, Bridget, in a shrimp business with his close friend and late Houston developer,

45:26 Keith Jackson. Why do I say that? Because every single one of these operations in Latin America, the front for moving shit is a shrimp company. Then in the fall of 1985, he and his partners purchased 700,000 acres in the northwest corner of Belize, which, if you look at it on a map, connects Guatemala and Mexico.

46:01 Guatemala, the country that we overthrew and that we've been there ever since, it was a curious purchase to say the least. First of all, it was in the interior where roads were non-existent, kind of just like the camp or the airstrip they set up in West Texas. There was no access to the water. It was also strange to buy 12% of the country.

46:32 in Belize and not at least get some part, because it's a Caribbean front country. They have Ambergus Key out there. There's a lot of waterfront, but you're going to go down there and buy 12% of a country and it's not even going to be anywhere near the water. Makes the entire thing suspect. The partners were an incongruent bunch. One,

46:58 was from among the original owners of the land, Barry Bowen, whose family was forced to sell because the Panamanian bank that held the mortgage was threatening to foreclose. Among the partners was Coca-Cola. Just like we found PepsiCo in the Chilean overthrow, we find Coca-Cola here. This company was headed then by Eugene,

47:33 Amoroso claimed that it was looking for land in South America to grow oranges because of the recent freeze in Florida. Bullshit. The freeze had occurred several years earlier. This purchase was almost two years later. And then it turns out that the company didn't apparently do any soil sampling when they bought it because you can't grow oranges down there. Weird.

48:10 By 1990, the company had sold much of the land and placed it on indefinite hold to grow any citrus. So it was never bought for citrus. That was a cover story. The remaining partners were Walter Michener and Paul Howell, a Houston oil man who had been an admiral in the U.S. Navy and a former director of the Houston Bank of the Dallas Federal Reserve. The former Fed chair.

48:42 in Dallas is investing in a CIA terrorist training camp and drug running operation. Want to make sure you got that. In an interview on November 6th, 1989, Michener claimed that Coca-Cola found the land. But in an interview later, he said Paul Howell found the property. Asked if Coca-Cola found the land, he said no. Asked to explain the contradiction between his two answers,

49:16 Coca-Cola came to us because we had already looked at the property. Sure, Michener. Michener and his partners paid cash for the land. Cash. Approximately $3 million each. Michener said he couldn't remember the name of the Pandemanian Bank holding Barry Bowen's note, but said the partners paid their money through the Bank of Nova Scotia.

49:44 Michener and Howell spent another $1.5 million clearing some of the land, and they were logging trees, supposedly preparing for the citrus. Michener has denied that the land was intended for use by the CIA as a transshipment point for weapons and material into Latin America and as a paramilitary training base. He described it as being far-fetched.

50:14 Oliver North quotes the chief counsel of a powerful Senate subcommittee that the White House is interested in a project, and the White House being Vice President George Bush, Mr. CIA himself, and Ronald Reagan. They're interested in a project in Belize. The counsel later shows up as Corson's attorney, who was part of the project in Belize. Okay.

50:45 North discussed a Cuban-American, Sergio Brule, who is associated with the CIA, Contra drug dealer, Ron Martin, who in turn reported doing business with Corson. Next, a CIA agent, Carl Jenkins, who had worked in the agency's 1954 Guatemalan coup, is using Belize to train Contras.

51:11 Jenkins later appears in a bankruptcy filing in a Louisiana helicopter company whose principals have close business and personal association with the mafia, Herman Beebe, and business partner of Michener's Allied Bank. He also has dealings with Barry Seale, who ends up getting assassinated while he was a DEA informant and CIA asset training Contra pilots.

51:43 in Arkansas. Belize was also a favorite transshipment point for narcotics trafficking, smuggling cocaine from Columbia to the United States, which is how they paid for all this shit once the Boland Amendment was passed. One of the leaders of this group, Jack DeVoe, a pilot with CIA connections, a money launderer for DeVoe was Larry Freeman, a Miami attorney who was an associate of the late Paul Helliwell.

52:14 Helliwell as in the money man for the Southeast Asia drug opium heroin network. Paul Helliwell that created Castle Bank, which was a CIA front to money launder in the Caribbean. Paul Helliwell that bought the, he was the attorney who bought all of Disney World land under a front company for Walt Disney. That Paul Helliwell.

52:42 Freeman was also involved in the $200 million Florida land deal with the DuPonts and Corson. Also in the mid-70s, Cuban-Mexican drug trafficker Alberto Falcon, and remember Falcon is the guy that we covered on Alpha Warrior Show that was located based out of Tijuana that basically owned the entire Mexican.

53:11 He owned and controlled much of the cartel operations in Mexico, that Falcon. The Falcon that got arrested thanks to CENTAP, which was disbanded as soon as the Reagan and the CIA vice president was sworn into office. They got rid of CENTAP. And that's who arrested Falcon. So he also.

53:45 had alleged ties and said so to the CIA. He had talked to his lieutenants about working out of Belize. By all accounts, Belize had been a hotbed of drugs and drug growing. Then Corson's ex-father-in-law buys a 700,000 acre plot in Belize, 12% of the country.

54:15 And the vague plans for this land later vanish. Some say because they were disrupted by the October 1986 downing of Barry Sills' old C-123 with the survivor, Eugene Hassenfuss. One of Corson's former employees said that their office went into an uproar when that news came out. That's the airline we use, they screamed, referring to Southern Air Transport.

54:45 the CIA front company that owned the C-123. Southern Air Transport was a CIA proprietary until 1973 when it was sold to the man who had been fronting the ownership for the CIA. The airline company was later sold to James Bastian, who had been an officer in Air America's parent company, Southern Air Transport, and their in-house lawyer.

55:17 When Southern Air's role in the Iran-Contra scandal was exposed, it had been an airline of choice to haul arms to Iran and to the Contra. Bastian denied any connection to the CIA, because of course you're going to. What he couldn't deny were his connections to the CIA-Iran-Contra cutout, Oliver North, who went to his old buddy, Oliver Revell, then assistant FBI director.

55:47 and now special agent in charge of the FBI office in Dallas, to try and stop an FBI investigation into Southern Air Transport's activities. I'm telling you, the entire freaking government is a crime syndicate. Corson was no stranger to Belize either. One of his few trips outside the United States, he admits, was to Belize with his partner, Sandy Aaron. His mother, BJ, who we described yesterday,

56:17 And infamous Houston developer Mel Powers took trips to Belize several times to discuss business deals with New York insurance people. At least one eyewitness and officials who have seen customs records state that Michener accompanied them. Michener, of course, denies this because he couldn't be seen hanging out with his ex-son-in-law who beat his daughter.

56:43 In 1991, with the FBI, IRS, and Arizona Department of Public Safety after him, Corson skipped the country. He first went to Honduras and then to Belize. Belize has no extradition treaty with the United States, which is very interesting because at this time, it was a colony of the UK. Despite considerable evidence to the contrary, Michener adamantly maintains that he had nothing to do with Corser.

57:13 Corson since he divorced his daughter. It's just a convenient story. Why would you? But he did. But one deal between the two that was continued after the divorce was the Enchanted Oak Shopping Center, the strip mall north of Houston. This was a joint venture between Michener's company and Corson and his cousin, Ron Daly. We talked about it a lot earlier. A mortgage on the property filed by Surety Savings in Houston.

57:41 in January 1976, showed the owners to be Michener's company and Roy Daly as the trustee. However, Corson's divorce papers revealed that Daly was fronting for him and that he, Corson, actually owned the 25% share of the shopping center. Documents filed later between 78 and 79 indicate that the joint venture continued to be Michener's company and Roy Daly as the trustee for himself and Corson.

58:10 So he just used a front guy. It was not until 85 that Michener's company filed papers showing it to be the sole owner of that shopping center when farm and home savings foreclosed on the property in November of 1986. There were the previous mentioned communications between employees of Corson's company and employees of Michener's on how to handle the tax liability. So they were definitely in business together.

58:39 Following the divorce, Corson participated in deals such as borrowing money and receiving money with at least three of Michener's bank. Because remember, by this time, he owns a whole bunch of banks. A whole bunch of banks that go down in the savings and loan because they were money laundering through them. In February of 83, Corson sold a piece of land he owned north of Houston to an entity called Stop and Serve, which borrowed half a million dollars from Allied.

59:10 which is Michener, to pay Corson. In October 1983, Corson borrowed $350,000 from Allied's Champion Bank, again a Michener's bank, to purchase land for a strip shopping center. In addition, he had also gotten another loan of like $37,000 from another of Michener's banks.

59:38 Michener had tried to distance himself from these deals, but he couldn't. So there's a contradictory story. And there's also lots of others. I'm not going to go through all of them, but it definitely shows that after the divorce, they continued to work in tandem together. So that pretty much captures where we're going to go today.

1:00:08 and um just wanted to um get everybody to this point we will continue with this obviously on um monday but it's a tangle um web and i'm so glad that this book was used as a reference in another book um so that i could find my puzzling answer to belize and that's

1:00:38 kind of lays out the whole Belize portion of the story. It'll be mentioned a few other times, but that's the nuts and bolts of it. Anybody wanna comment? Bridget, are you there? Bridget says over on Rumble, I can't look at shrimp or eat shrimp the same way as I used to.

1:01:09 I know. It's funny how all of this knowledge kind of change your perspective of everything. I've never been a shrimp person myself. I don't really like it. But every time I see Bubba Shrimp, like when we're over in St. Pete or whatever, I'm like, oh, brother. Oh, Bridget said her mic won't work. Well, go out and come back in. We're good.

1:01:38 All along Illini, I see y'all there. Renee, anybody want to comment? Go ahead, Alicia. Speaking of shrimp and boats, I don't know if you check your DMs or not, but I sent you some interesting pictures and information I thought you might find interesting that is relevant to this. Okay. Yeah, I can't do that during the show. I'm barely capable of running the Rumble channel and the space at the same time.

1:02:13 Yeah, that ain't going to happen. You just have to come up and talk to me about it. It's essentially, I came across said player of the person who owns Bubba Gump during COVID while I was in Mexico on his brand new $16 million yacht. Oh, I did see your yacht picture. I didn't get the connection. They're saying that's the guy that owns Bubba Gump. Oh my God.

1:02:47 Okay, that's hilarious. All right, I'll go back and look at it. I didn't get that connection when I saw your DMs before the show started. Thank you. All along, go ahead. All along? Yeah, Colonel, I just wanted to mention, because you had brought up the DuPont influence in Florida, there's a book, you probably know about this book, by Colby and Dennett team.

1:03:21 that wrote the amazing Nelson Rockefeller book called the one called thy will be done. There's another, there's another book on the DuPont dynasty, which is, you know, it's, it's all, it's just as incredible. I mean, I have the book. I have not read it yet though. Yeah. It, it's just, it, it goes right up the spine of, you know, the two political parties.

1:03:47 but you see it in angles from stuff you've never heard about in your life, just like the Rockefeller book. And it's just, again, it's, it's like between the reading between the lines of, of everything. And it's just stunning. And yeah, it's available on, you know, again, this was originally published by one of the big publishers, but you know, now it's on Mark Crispin Miller.

1:04:14 uh series at amazon called the forbidden bookshelf again it's like that title makes it sound kind of like flying sorcery or whatnot but it was originally published by a mainstream publisher and today you wouldn't see anything remotely like it anywhere and it's kind of a good in indicator of just how like you know uh dumbed down the whole publishing industry has become

1:04:40 So I strongly, strongly recommend it. And I have to go through it again because I could. Now that you have your Gladio glasses. Yes, definitely. It changes everything. Yes. OK, Renee, go ahead. Hey, everyone. Yeah, this chapter is definitely ramping it up of pulling all the usual suspects together and their shenanigans to get a better.

1:05:11 Almost connecting to our present. Yes. It's building up to our present. So two names really, of course, stick out to me. Of course, Paul Haleywell, because recently with all Venezuela being in the news and all of the guys, well, it was Paul Haleywell, E. Howard Hunt, who else? But these cats from the OSS.

1:05:39 involved in Vietnam, the whole drug thing, ended up in Florida. And they are also connected to MJ Wave, which was set up on a, was it an old Navy military base or something, where they trained the Cuban exiles. Yes. And I've made some links to some of the Cuban exiles. I can't remember all their names.

1:06:07 who are eventually in Venezuela, in Caracas, and who were connected to an organization at the time who, as you commented in a post earlier today about the police torture training. The Office of Public Safety. Correct. The Office of Public Safety and there was a group.

1:06:40 set up by one of the Cuban exiles trained at MJ Wave, set up by Paul Helliwell in Caracas, who was part of that whole shenanigan. Then my next, another guy that stood out in this chapter was Mike Harari.

1:06:59 Yes. Mike Harari, the Mossad agent. He was technically, let me say he's IDF intelligence and they are different, but not really. Okay. Go ahead. Oh, okay. Yeah. I didn't know that. All right. Yeah. He, I was kind of looking into him as you were reading this chapter.

1:07:19 And he, that cat was around for a very long time. Like he was born in the 20s and just died in like 2014 or something. But he, he's been all over the place. I mean, Europe, he was connected to, in the 70s, that whole, what was it? Black September, the hostage, hostages in the Munich Olympics. Yes, yes, he was. Yeah.

1:07:46 So all these guys, you know, the usual suspects bouncing around, causing trouble, trafficking crap, laundering money. You know, it's like the wheel is just turning. Wheel of fortune. The wheel of fortune. And what you find out is a lot of the quote unquote terrorist events all have these people in common.

1:08:15 Because they're not actually terrorist events, they're events that they plan. Right, and false flags and everything. Absolutely, absolutely. Earlier today, as I'm driving, I'm listening to, his last name is Coleman, I believe. He did the Committee of 300. That connects a lot of everything. Also, you're talking about the IDF, a lot of banks, etc.

1:08:49 And especially with Tavistock and Brookings Institute, how these guys manipulate us with fear and terror events and gang wars where they go around and orchestrate us with these psyops and stuff to keep us distracted and in fear. You know, the strategy of tension thing. But anyway, I kept thinking of this.

1:09:17 while you're reading this chapter too. So my brain's all over the place, but it's getting spicy. Yeah. And that's an important, all of these, the Club of Rome, the WWF, all of these, the Committee of 300, CFR, they're all basically duplicative efforts with overlaying.

1:09:42 People, La Circle, we did a show on that, several shows on that a long time ago. They all have the same, the Bilderberg group. They have the same, if you were to take the entire bucket of international syndicate people, you just like divide them up into 20. And five of this 20 that's on the committee of 300 are also on the WWF. And then-

1:10:10 Another five is on Bilderberg and another five is on CFR. And then you go to the CFR and you will have people from all of the different ones. It's just like a musical chairs thing so that they can meet throughout the year and co-plan all of the stuff that they're going to do to us. There really isn't, I mean, they all have different names, but there really isn't a lot of...

1:10:35 Their specialization in each one of them, like the WWF kind of uses the whole climate change bullshit. As you just articulated, the Committee of 300 is more into kind of the PR piece of it, psychological operations. They all have their areas of expertise, but they're all the same people. It's them against us. And the whole way they do it is by dividing us because there's a shit ton more of us than there are of them.

1:11:03 Um, and if you could just get through to everybody, um, but they have their psychologically trained chaos agents that are deployed in every one of our efforts to try to thwart what we're doing. And you're seeing that play out on social media every day. 100% in, in the book. Um, they were specifically because I was searching, I I've trained my grok.

1:11:31 To look for specific things in books now. Sometimes we get along and agree and sometimes we don't. And I make her work harder. I call her now. But anyway, anyway, yeah, there was I was looking for specifics on these psychological shenanigans they do amongst humanity. And they she found some chapters and it went into how.

1:11:59 Because the human brain, we can only retain so much information and so much stress and so much this and that. So it just backs up what you're saying. With the overabundance of information, it pulls us in so many directions at one time. It's hard to stay in a clear path of what the hell is going on.

1:12:28 So every day we're through the social media, through the television, the radio, the this, the that. We're bombarded. We're bamboozled with so much information and distraction. Most of it fitting in the misinformation or disinformation category. Yeah. Yeah. Just to keep people off the damn path and off the track. You know, it's just distraction warfare, you know, kind of. So I agree with all of that. Yeah.

1:12:57 which I think is why I always tend to stay at the 30,000 foot look so that you can see those common patterns. Go ahead, all along. Yeah, Colonel, I just, on the note about, you know, super abundance of information as distraction, I think it's worth noting this phenomena that I've...

1:13:29 I'm not sure it's been formally discussed in terms of labeled yet. But, you know, there are different strategies of propaganda and there are different strategies of censorship. You know, sometimes a topic might, if it's like totally under the radar, it might be more advantageous for.

1:13:56 you know, our, our rulers are our actual rulers to just like, keep it unknown, you know? And so in that sense, it might be just literally censored. Like, you know, an example of that I would be, I would give is perhaps CD Jackson, a guy who I've, you know, tried to spread the word about across Twitter.

1:14:21 And, you know, I posted about 18 trillion threads on C.D. Jackson. They all get zero. You know, they're just not seen. Right. Whereas, by contrast, others such as, you know, the JFK assassination, which is something, you know, that is is out there. Right. It's kind of like the horses kind of left the starting gate or whatever that is.

1:14:49 expression is like i forgot it but it's like there you're going to use a very different strategy of like soup you know just i call it an everything but the kitchen sink type strategy we just you know throw everything out there right and also yet at the same time in the midst of that everything you also make sure that certain audiences you know such as your controlled

1:15:19 fake, aka compatible left. Again, the phrase of the CIA is what they call their compatible left. You know, for the 80s and 90s, they got nothing but Noam Chomsky, Seymour Hersh, and Alexander Coburn of the nations. Yeah. Illini, I see you there. What are you up to? Hey, Colonel. I only caught the end of the lecture. I didn't do the reading for it.

1:15:52 It's good to see you and happy Friday.

1:15:55 Basically, we were just talking about the whole Corson-CIA connections. You know, of course, he denied ever being associated with or Michners. And this chapter really laid out the connection between Oliver North, Corson, Michner, the guys that we talked about before, Robert Hall, Rob Owens, and kind of a lot of what we talked about in Gary Webb's book, because, of course, it all applies to this.

1:16:24 because of the correlation between the money laundering through all these savings and loans and their failure were largely in support of Iran-Contra. So there's a lot of overlap here. And this author does a really good job of pulling those pieces out and kind of stick it. It was like pin the tail on the donkey. He was able to...

1:16:46 pin all of those Gary Webb stories on the rear end of Corson and Michener and show how they were all connected and how Belize was a central entity in setting up paramilitary training camps there as well as being a thoroughfare for drugs and gun running.

1:17:09 So it just documents that whole thing and brought in the DuPont family and their connections to it as well. And tied it to the U.S. Senate, of course, because you're always going to end up with some congressional member knowingly involved in this shit, which is why I've come to the conclusion that our entire government is a criminal enterprise.

1:17:35 Well, I mean, with Oliver North, you know, that gets you to Barry Seale and, you know, the drug running in Iran-Contra. Yep. So, yeah, it's, I don't think Pete Bruton, like, Pete Bruton did a terrific job of all the link analysis, which was really impressive for the late 80s. I know! Like, to do link analysis, you know, today, you just go on the internet. But back then, you needed a card catalog.

1:18:03 You needed, you know, lots and lots and lots of files. And going through the Oliver North book, I mean, you know, his notebooks. Yeah. I mean, hours and, you know, months and years worth of research because he had to actually travel to get them. That all had to be done by hand. Yes. I mean, today we've got LLMs. You can stick, you know, you can stick these books into Google Gemini these days.

1:18:33 And ask it to find – you can throw 1,000 pages of text into Google Gemini in a single context window and ask it to find the different links between two books. We didn't – Pete Bruton didn't have any of that. He had to do everything by hand. Yeah, it's crazy. I have just in Grok because –

1:19:00 Alina knows better than anybody. I'm not very good at using the electronic tools that are available. I have all of this crap stuck in my head. But I have, when I know the name of a particular book and I know someone's mentioned in it, I have asked Grok to use that book and find the text where...

1:19:24 um the person is mentioned because it'll be like somebody's married to someone else and I know that it's in this book and he can do it um so I I know that's out there and at some point that probably would be a good thing for me to do I'm just not there yet I'm still doing way too much reading um in a good way not I'm not complaining um but when I think I have most of my

1:19:52 um, questions answered, that is definitely something that I want to go back and do. Um, but Alicia, go ahead. Um, when, when Pete was teaching his, uh, his first assignment to every, to every class was, um, like an assignment where you had to like interview somebody and, and try to remember as much as you could and write down as much as you could. And, and then you'd have to stand up in front of the class and, and basically

1:20:22 try and recreate what they said without looking at your notes, without looking at the person. And the person had to say how on track you got it. And then he would review the notes and see how much you were able to jot down and remember details-wise. And that's how he would grade you. And I remember the year I was there, I won the contest purely because

1:20:51 He said no one would be able to read my chicken scratch. There you go. There you go. Cool. All right. So if we're done with this, all along you were not in here earlier. I am going to have a space between 7 and 7.30 this evening so I can have a break for dinner. And I am going to read.

1:21:21 the presentation the attorney did on that you tagged me on a post about the conspiracy trial for the MLK so I went through a lot of the material and when I got down to the closing arguments I'm going to read the closing arguments where he summarizes

1:21:44 all of the conspiracy because I want to get that information out on record because so much of the material that he is summarizing shows the shadow of a Gladio operation. And he does such an excellent job of laying out all the details that I want to get that on record as part of our series here of material.

1:22:14 to show the correlation of the operations in the United States look exactly like a Gladio operation. And I'm not necessarily saying it is. I'm telling you it has, to use John Brennan's terms, all the hallmarks of one. Go ahead, all along. Yeah, Colonel, I think it's – I'm glad to hear that. And I think it's critically important we understand, like, just –

1:22:44 what kind of a sort of ammunition that a huge thing like the MLK assassination represents, if used correctly against this criminal duopoly, CIA duopoly we have right now, because, you know, it's at the very core of, you know, when the Democrats, in my opinion, change what you, we don't have to agree with that, but, you know,

1:23:14 Here's the most famous orator in U.S. history, arguably. And, you know, the evidence is just so blatant. And it's like this is something you can ask, you know, the Democrats who are playing, you know, Jim Crow politics with the Republicans still. OK, so here's, you know, the most famous orator in history. He was uniting people across racial barriers against the rich. Why are you?

1:23:43 collaborating with the CIA, who are the assassins of Malcolm X and JFK, RFK and MLK. Why are you covering this up, Democrats? You become the mouthpiece of assassins. So I don't disagree with you on the assertion that the 1968 is a pivot point in the Democrat Party.

1:24:09 I mean, I think you could intelligently argue that it's when it was taken over. I don't think anybody can argue that the apparatus controlling the Democrat Party right now is evil. Every single position they have is evil. Not a single...

1:24:35 that they stand on has anything to do with the benefit of America and Americans. And if you map back, because obviously that same party produced Donald Trump, it produced JFK, it produced RFK. There were American, and my dad, there were American loving people in the Democrat party. And there was a huge divergent.

1:25:04 After that mass run of the 1960s, where they became very effective at, and it was done by their own party leadership, LBJ being a great example of that, they had the majority of the people that were anti-war. And you can't have a country anti-war and it be an effective movement if your whole...

1:25:32 The whole structure of the apparatus to include the CIA is pro-war. So you're going to eliminate the people that are effective at doing that. And I do think that's when the pivot point happened. Renee, go ahead. Yes. I wanted to ask you, did I miss?

1:25:59 Did you and Warhead have a show? We did not. Or did I miss that? He is still not. We were going to do it yesterday at noon. He's still not well enough to sit that long in his chair. He had a hip replacement. And so he's still mending from that. That's why I asked you guys to keep him in your prayers. But as soon as he is able and comfortable enough to do that, we will resume them. Illini, go ahead.

1:26:27 Colonel, on the 1968 Democratic takeover question, I guess I sort of – I mean obviously with all the assassinations that happened that year, I see where you're coming from. I did want to sort of follow up though and ask about how Carter plays into all that though because like Carter was – he wasn't a bad guy, but he was also on the CFR. Was it just that the –

1:26:56 Was it just sort of that the powers that be assumed that Carter would play ball, but he turned out to be, you know, an actual person instead who would say, okay, I'll help you, but I'm not going to cross over the line. Was that sort of it? So I would agree with that assessment. Obviously, they want stooges, right? I think they thought they could.

1:27:25 control Carter more effectively. I think they thought he was a, you know, a bumpkin. And he did have issues. He did have, he used the machine as well. He's not free from blame in that regard. But I do think that

1:27:48 there was a lot of pressure on him to keep Bush as the CIA. And I know that. I've read a lot about that. When he made the decision to not do that, I think that was the writing on the wall. And that was while he was not even sworn in yet. He told Bush he was not going to stay on as CIA director. And I think they thought that as long as Bush was CIA director, that it didn't matter who was president.

1:28:15 You know, that led to the creation of the Safari Club and all that other shit. So they could continue doing their various shit within or out of the CIA. Because we had the Halloween massacre where they got rid of most of the covert operations. And his massive change in policy of saying, I'm not giving foreign aid if you're killing your people, which of course all of the Latin American dictators that the CIA had installed was doing that.

1:28:44 And so he is an anomaly from that perspective, but I'm not thinking of it right off the top of my head. There was a coup that he authorized. So he wasn't completely blameless. And also remember that the whole BCCI scandal, his farm, his peanut farm, the bank in Atlanta, Georgia that the BCCI

1:29:14 um bought illegally held a mortgage to his farm so there's lots of um and plus he had the same old weird people in his cabinet um you know he he's the one that by executive order that created the department of education even though he didn't staff it because he did it towards the end of his um term so he definitely wasn't on the side of the people but

1:29:43 I do think they thought they could control him a lot. And then when they found out that he wasn't keeping Bush and all that other stuff, that they definitely stacked the deck. Because I just finished reading a book about all of the players in the late 1970s with the oil embargo. And basically, I'm summing up an entire book with a kind of offhanded comment. I realize that. But if you think about it,

1:30:12 You think about OPEC and everybody acts like it's this foreign thing. At the time in the 70s, OPEC was U.S. companies. U.S. companies had the concessions. If the U.S. companies wanted to exert control over OPEC, they certainly had the ability to do it, but they didn't.

1:30:38 The oil companies were ripping off OPEC. I mean, that was OPEC's version of what happened. I mean, Dr. Anas Al-Hajji kind of gives the OPEC version of the story, which was that the oil companies... They were using the guys of OPEC. They could say whatever they wanted the price of oil was in, you know, Saudi Arabia, because they were going to refine it in the United States and sell the gasoline.

1:31:04 So they would hold the price of oil down and they would use that to reduce the royalty rates. And that would really, you know, that's really screwed over Iran in particular. Yes. And there were comments even from the Shah that basically said, look, you guys are, you know, you guys are paying $4 a barrel for oil here in Tehran. And then you're selling it as gasoline in the States for, you know, $14 a barrel. We'd like some of that, please.

1:31:33 Yes. Yes. And when you understand that, you know that the the inflation that was created by the quote unquote OPEC oil embargo was a punishment for Carter to ensure he didn't get reelected by U.S. oligarchs. Wait, that was 73, though. 79.

1:31:58 No, but the one that happened in the late 70s. There was another oil thing that happened to screw up Carter. That was Iran, and in particular, the hostage rescue. I mean, Carter in his autobiography basically says that there was this huge cascade of events that almost seemed like, you know, this huge... They tried to rescue the State Department hostages at the embassy, if I recall correctly.

1:32:27 And there was just calamity after calamity was Carter's comment. It was almost like the whole thing was designed to fail, was basically what he says. Yes, it was to make him look bad. And what we have known and no one ever talks about is we know that almost the entire embassy staff is CIA.

1:32:56 If you go back and you apply what we have learned, you had a bunch of CIA guys that are claiming they were overran by a bunch of students when they had Marines with guns. The entire thing with your gladio glasses on is like a clown show. Wow. I mean, that's a new way of looking at it. Yeah, that's the way I look.

1:33:23 time that I go back with my Gladio glasses on and read in one of these books, like you said, the rescue attempt, they only had the exact number of aircraft that never, ever, ever, ever in a military operation do you only have the number of aircraft. And then two of them fail. Literally, it was one calamity after another calamity as if it was, as you say, designed to fail.

1:33:53 to make Carter lose the election. And I'm not saying he should have won. I'm not a Carter fan, other than the fact that it was his opening up of aircraft maintenance that allowed me to be an aircraft maintainer. And I'm grateful for him doing that. But other than that, I'm ambivalent on Carter, but you can't look at Carter's term.

1:34:17 and say it was anything other than a constant attack on him from almost the get-go of trying to undermine him after he made the decision to fire.

1:34:32 And he is literally the only president since the creation of the CIA that took any negative action against the CIA to try to hold them accountable for all of the shit that came out in the mid-70s of all of their nefarious doing. He is the only president. And yet he's the only president in my lifetime. I mean, we have the bad ones now. But up until Obama, he was viewed as the worst president ever. And that's psychological programming.

1:35:01 And Reagan is held up as the best president ever, even though he was guilty of all kinds of shit, bad shit. And that's psychological programming at its finest. Alicia, go ahead. Well, I hate to break this because you're in a different direction, but you bring up the Middle East and I know the Hunt family was brought up in this chapter.

1:35:28 Are they connected to the Hunt Oil in Dallas as well and their partnerships over in the Middle East? H.L. Hunt was the father of the two Hunt brothers in the Silver Squeeze. Bunker in Roy, I think, Hunt. But yes, there's a connection between the Hunt Oil family of Houston.

1:35:52 which had oil leases in Libya, which had all kinds of oil leases all over Texas and Oklahoma. There's a connection between them, the silver squeeze, and I believe they're also mentioned in this book. The Hunts have their own Gladio connections, sort of. I don't necessarily see them as team players, though, because they squeezed silver in the 1980s, and the Treasury was basically engaged in this brute force effort to stop them.

1:36:21 I don't know how that all played out. Yeah. They definitely have some nefarious connections. But recognizing that.

1:36:34 They're enabling of Libya to do what Libya was able to do in providing all of the social benefits that they did to their citizens, like free electricity and all of that other stuff. They do seem to be on the other side of the oligarchs that we normally talk about in most of their dealings. I agree with Illini on that. But there is a connection. All along, go ahead. All right.

1:37:07 Colonel, I wanted to get the time of the Tonight Show, because you said either 7 or 7.30. The other thing, I just wanted to mention this book called The Oil Follies, 1970 to 1980 by Robert Sherrill. I put it in the bubble. It's an amazing book. It's amazing. Everyone, please read it. I'll give you a dollar. We don't pay people to read. They need to be inquisitive and read on their own.

1:37:39 Um, yeah, um, we do come up to the Hunt brothers in chapter 10. We're just not there yet. Um, because their sons, weirdly enough, um, Nelson Bunker Hunt, who a line I just mentioned, and H.L. Hunt were all part of a, um, uh, fraternity.

1:38:10 It ended up being kind of like a mini Skull and Bones fraternity in who all went there and their relationship to this savings and loan debacle. And the Hunts were part of that fraternity. So they are mentioned in this book. Go ahead, all along. Yeah, did you...

1:38:37 What's the time tonight? It's either going to be 7 or 7.30. It depends on how long it takes me to get my dinner. Oh, either 7 or 7.30. Okay, cool. Because I want to tell some folks. Okay, thank you. Sure. All right. Renee, let's see. Did you have something else you wanted to add, Renee? Go ahead. Yeah, I just wanted to mention to Eli and I that Zbigniew Brzezinski was a big part in the hand of Carter. Yeah.

1:39:11 And I think the trilateral group or whatever, the trilateral, what was it? Commission group thing. Trilateral committee. Yeah. Committee. Committee. Yeah. Yeah. Those two were a big hand in Carter. Yeah. He was on the CFR. So they thought that he would play ball going in. But I agree with. Yeah. He had his minders. He had his minders. Yeah. Okay.

1:39:42 All right, we're going to go ahead and jump off here. And I will see you guys either at 7 or 7.30. And we're going to go through the MLK with our Gladio glasses on. Closing argument. I'm not going to go through the other guy that... So just so that you guys know, it was a trial of one of the people that they actually had a defendant. I'm going to go through the prosecutor and lay out his...

1:40:09 argument that it was a conspiracy and the jury did find in his favor that there was. But I want you to listen to his argument about why it was because there's some real interesting gems in his argument that reflect on this whole Operation Gladio and assassinations inside the United States. Okay, so with that, we're going to call it a day.

1:40:37 And thank you guys for being here. If you're not able to make it tonight, please join us again at four o'clock on Monday. I will see you then. Take care and have a nice weekend.
