0:00 All right. Still playing their little stupid games, kicking me out of my own space again. Well, that's interesting. All right. We are going to, I don't know if Bridget's back from her dad's or not. She was going to visit her dad. I know she's listening because she just was asking me, why am I late? And I said, because I can't find my phone.

0:43 I had my grandbaby for the last several hours here and completely lose track of where my phone is. So, okay. So, CanCon is texting me as I speak, saying that it was just revealed through the chief warrant officer that we've...

1:19 Let's see that the guy from Las Vegas claimed before the event that the U.S. and China have anti-gravity technology and are utilizing it with the drones. And that's what we've been seeing all up and down the East Coast, basically. But there are other capabilities as well. He also confirmed that the signal.

1:49 safety number was changed too. So for those of you who are following along on all of the current ongoing Operation Gladio areas, that's an update. And Cousin It, I haven't had a chance to look at whatever it is that you're telling me to look at. Do you want to just talk about it? Can you hear me okay?

2:20 Yep. Oh, okay. I guess I'm unlocked again. He apparently sent a manifesto to Kyle Becker and Sean Ryan, or he addressed it to Sean Ryan, but sent it to Kyle Becker. So I don't know why he would pick those two people, but isn't Sean Ryan the guy that had that CIA spook on? Yes. Yeah. I'm smelling.

2:48 My bullshittometer is going off. So, did you see my post about her? Yes, I did. I glanced over it, to be honest with you, though, only because I was busy with the Russian news. So, she made a post a little while ago, I don't know, because I was on my laptop off and on while my grandbaby was entertained by my husband.

3:17 And basically said that the CIA is not corrupt. And I just had a few things to say about that. Just a few. Oh, really? Just a few. Just a very few things to say. They're really getting creative. You think so? I think they're getting desperate. Well, yeah.

3:49 Okay, so now they shut the house down. After the fact, because everybody pointed out how fucking stupid it was to have a reporter there. Right, right. So now they shut the house down. The whole thing. Yes, they're getting desperate, which is a little worrisome, actually. Because if they're getting this desperate, then, you know, you got to wonder what their actual plans are.

4:22 Right. So let me read this for everybody. This is supposedly his manifesto. And it's actually just an email. That's not exactly what I call a manifesto, but whatever. He says that in case I do not make it to my decision point or on to the Mexican border, I am sending this now. Please do not release it until 1 January.

4:51 and keep my identity private until then. The date of the email is December 31st. First off, I am not under duress or hostile influence or control. I'm sorry. I am definitely not MK altered by the CIA. Why do you need to say that? My car was a 2006 black Ford Mustang V8 for verification.

5:23 Okay, yeah, like nobody, no childhood friends, nobody in the military will have ever heard what his first car is because there are actual security things that you use for identification while you're in the military that would have been just like that. So nobody in the military would have known that except for everybody in his unit. What we have been seeing.

5:51 with quote-unquote drones is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered aircraft by most recently China, oh my God, in the East Coast, but throughout history, the U.S. And China just all of a sudden got it, but it's always been the U.S. Are y'all keeping up? Only we...

6:21 and China have this capacity, capability. And how the fuck would you know? Because everybody doesn't actually reveal what their classified technology is. You have no fucking way of knowing that. And anybody that's SF would know that they don't know what they don't know. Every part of this is bullshit. Our absent location for this activity

6:52 In the box is below. China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years. But this activity recently has picked up. As of now, it is just a show of force. And they are using it similar to how they used the balloon for SIGINT and ISR, which is intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance.

7:20 which are also part of an integrated comm system. So there are dozens of these balloons in the air at any given time. Yeah, and they all belong to the CIA and Blackwater. I've actually floated right by their hangar in North Carolina. The USO needs to give the history of this.

7:50 How we are employing it and weaponizing it. Yeah, we. How China is employing them and what the way forward is. China is poised to attack anywhere on the East Coast, which means the CIA is poised to attack, just so that you guys can keep up. I've been followed for over a week now from...

8:15 likely Homeland or FBI, and they are looking to move on me and are unlikely to let me cross into Mexico, but won't because they know I am armed and I have a massive VB IED, which is a bomb. So if they know you have a bomb and they're just letting you drive around endangering everybody, right? That's what he's saying.

8:45 This is the most stupid fucking quote unquote manifesto. I knew you'd like it. From someone who is supposed to be fairly smart. Has he? Well, fucking promoted. Right. And oh, so and not for nothing. Right. If this had any, any bit of credence to it, the man just drove through miles and miles and miles of desert. So if any of this bullshit.

9:16 were actually true he would have been stopped in the middle of the desert because yes he would have been stopped in the middle of the desert because there's nothing around that the bomb would destroy correct so yeah i drive into a highly populated area and just detonate himself yes exactly that's that's perfect sure why not let me finish i have been trying to maintain a very visible profile

9:45 and have kept my phone and they are definitely digitally tracking me. Just in case you guys couldn't have assumed that, I'm going to say it out loud because I'm writing this to another fellow guy who would have assumed that, but I need to make sure that you morons out there that's going to read this and think it's actually a manifesto that you know that. I have knowledge of this program and also war crimes.

10:14 hold on, that were covered up during airstrikes in Kamroos province of Afghanistan in 2019 by the, hold on, it's hard to read this because my thing keeps, I had to pause it because when I clicked on your thing, it just went to the actual screen. The admin, oh, oh, 2019. So that would have been Trump.

10:46 the CIA, DEI, DEA, DOD, and the executive administration only during 2019. This guy's been a fucking SF guy for 20 years and the only war crime he's ever seen happened in 2019. Are you fucking kidding me right now? Oh my God. All right. I conducted targeting for these strikes.

11:12 Of over 125 buildings that were struck because of civilian casualties that killed hundreds of civilians. So we were specifically targeting civilians. And it happened during the Trump administration. And that's the only war crime he's ever seen. And then basically the U.S. forces.

11:37 Afghanistan continued strikes after spotting civilians in the initial ISR. It was supposed to take six minutes and scramble all blah, blah, blah. So that's basically what I can read. This is the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen in my life. Anyway.

11:59 I know a couple of SF guys and when we get done with the show tonight, I am going to get one of them on the phone and I will be doing a separate video about this because this, along with the, oh, and by the way, just in case you guys didn't know, this Sean Ryan also had that Sarah, whatever her last name is,

12:30 on there that was the quote unquote CIA whistleblower who just came out today and said, you know, the CIA is not corrupt, which, of course, I had a very response to. We'll just leave it at that. And of course, everybody on the show could relay all of the different responses there are to it. But before.

13:01 We get started here. I'm going to go over. To Rumble. And set up the Rumble feed. And. Then we'll get started with our book. And. We will go from there. This is just. It gets more insane. As we go. And I think. If Alpha's wife. Is feeling better. I'm going to ask him.

13:32 And CanCon, if we can't do something together, maybe tomorrow, because after I talk to my SF friends. Stellar, I don't know if she's available to assist co-hosting.

13:53 Yeah, I can co-host. I was going to also ask if the listeners, are you guys hearing it blocked in and out as listeners? Because as a speaker, you can hear Colonel Towner's not going in and out. But I didn't know if you guys down there because I saw a couple of people posting as well. Well, I'm getting ready to put it up on Rumble and people are just going to have to go over there until X stopped fucking with our.

14:22 um stream our space which i'm getting sick and tired of actually um all right so let's go live over there um all right it's coming up all right so there's bridget yeah i think that there's everything's like really splotchy as you're a listener as a speaker we can hear clearly and that's what the problem is

15:02 They're cutting you out, Colonel Towner. No kidding, Stellar. And they're doing it to all the speakers. I was trying to listen on my way home. Sorry, didn't mean to jump in. But I could hear like, and it's not your microphone. And it's all the speakers. But you would just hear like a few words and then nothing. And then a few words and then nothing. Well, I'm glad they're sharing the wealth now. Because up until...

15:31 You just said that. I've never been in another space. And I go in spaces all the time where I couldn't hear the speaker ever. It's your space, Colonel Towner. Well, evidently they're sharing the wealth now. So maybe other people are starting to tell the truth. That would be a nice change, wouldn't it? Yeah. This is the same guy that wants to do banking here. Sorry. All right. So.

15:59 We're going to continue with President's Secret Wars. And this one, the Chapter 5, is Covert Legion. It's kind of apropos right now. It shouldn't take us very long. All right. The Washington Center of Secret Wars was awash with studies and proposals and plans.

16:26 Operations as the Albanian one that we talked about and the China one that we talked about, you know, from those not corrupt CIA people, were only the tip of the iceberg. During the Truman administration, more precisely during the Korean War, the organizations and procedures for paramilitary operations were created, standardized, and used often. There was swirling controversy around the White House about their use.

16:55 There was bickering back and forth between the CIA and the Pentagon. And for President Truman, the problem was to stimulate covert operations while maintaining their secrecy. You know, because that's what you do in a republic is keep secrets from the voters who are supposed to cast an informed vote about all this shit. You're keeping secret from them. The CIA, at CIA, the question was.

17:23 who would direct the covert actions within the agency, and who would be their commander. Over the Pentagon, the military was concerned about how they would interrelate with the CIA during paramilitary operations because they're not supposed to ever take directions from anybody not in their chain of command. President Truman's problem was simplest at the beginning. At that time, he approved

17:51 that NSC that we talked about before called 10-2 in 1948. It seemed natural to oversee closely any kind of sensitive endeavor. That summer, there were three NSC meetings that specifically dealt with the Office of Special Projects, which was the forerunner to Frank Wisner's covert operations. But the president could not plausibly deny knowledge if he attended the meeting.

18:21 Truman resorted to a special panel as a subordinate entity to the NSC 10-2 activities composed of the DCI, the Director of Central Intelligence, plus representatives from each of the, like, Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense. So they, too, can have plausible deniability.

18:46 assign an underling like their deputy or a division chief to go to those meetings so they can plan on killing people around the world and the big guys don't have to get their hands dirty. Only disagreements among the panel were to be referred to the full NSC because then they couldn't deny the deniability. The first departmental representative was George Keenan for State.

19:16 Colonel Ivan Yeaton, Y-E-A-T-O-N, for the Pentagon. The degree of cooperation achieved by this panel is suggested by the lack of any record of any of them talking to the full NSC. Yet the cooperation also meant the lack of the opportunity for the president to see anything that they were doing. 81 covert actions were initiated during the Truman's tenure.

19:45 by the Director of Intelligence on his authority after consultation with this sub-panel under 10-2 and its successor under 10-5. Without frequent discussions with the NSC, President Truman was forced to rely directly on his Director of Intelligence and whatever he told him. During the earliest era, when the Central Intelligence Group

20:15 this is prior to the CIA actually forming, was run out of a three-room office next door to the White House, some sort of indirect administration might have been possible. However, once you move them off-site, which they did, and you've created these layers of buffer in between of you and them, none of that occurred. In Washington, there was some temporary construction office building set up.

20:44 that had originally housed the OSS during the war. After the formation of the CIA, its headquarters was placed in the OSS building because the OSS had been deactivated. From there, Rear Admiral Roscoe Hillencotter became the DCI and presided over the inception of American covert operations.

21:11 If there was anyone who could have expected to be aware of the danger of another Pearl Harbor-ish type activity, it was Hillen Cotter. He was an Annapolis man. He had been executive officer aboard the USS West Virginia that Sunday morning in December. Dressing in his cabin when the attack began, Hillen Cotter could not even reach the quarterdeck of his...

21:39 ship before it began sinking. He returned to the Pacific later in the war to create a functioning joint intelligence center for the theater commander in only six months time. And the theater commander at the time would have been who? MacArthur. Hill and Cotter had been appointed DCI in May of 1948. It did not harm his chances that he was fluent in three languages.

22:10 He had served as a naval attache in Paris, which that's interesting because that's exactly where they set up NATO originally. Helen Cotter was also an associate of Admiral William Leahy, who at the time was advising President Truman on intelligence. And by the way, it was Leahy. I read that in another book that recommended this guy for the DCI.

22:39 There were many conflicts between Hill and Cotter in the main office and Frank Wisner, who ran his fiefdom from a different building. Intelligence authorities like Ray Klein argue that Hill and Cotter lacked the rank, prestige, and political clout to lead the CIA into high-gear performance. But the NSC-10-2 created an ambiguous

23:06 administrative situation for Frank Wisner. With his authority from the NSC and his policy directives from the 10-2, Frank Wisner could draw expenses from the CIA while shielding his activities from the CIA, hiding behind either the State Department or the Defense Department whenever he needed to. Frank Wisner, being an OSS person, drew on the knowledge and support of friends,

23:38 throughout his network. Wisner thus had many advantages in the contest for bureaucratic power within the CIA. In other words, it didn't matter that somebody was his boss. The foremost among those, White House interest in aggressive prosecution of the Cold War would give him plenty of cover. So then, around this same time, you had Alan Dulles, Jackson, and Carrera.

24:11 write a report on exactly what the post-OSS intelligence arrangement needed to be. And weirdly enough, it looked exactly like the CIA ended up looking. That was reviewed by President Truman in 1940. So they set up the Central Intelligence Group. Then they hired this report. And then they created...

24:43 the CIA. And then, of course, they all end up being in the CIA. The OPC field stations increased from 7 to 47. Personnel to about 6,000 by 1952. And 1952 would have been in the middle of the Korean War just prior to overthrowing Iran. And they've already overthrown a couple of governments by then.

25:11 Slightly more than half of them were overseas contract personnel. About half of the OPC, which is Wisner's area, worked for the Far East Division, meaning helping Chiang Kai-shek. German operations employed another 12,000. Just between fiscal year 50 and 51,

25:33 Frank Wisner's office multiplied from 584 to 1,531, which is basically three times. And the majority of them were paramilitary people. Some observers believe that the publicized budget figures of $82 million in 52 was not high enough. And Wisner was spending a lot of that in Eastern Europe.

26:00 which of course is where they were recruiting all of the former Nazis that had skinned babies alive. That was including the Ukrainian, the Croatians. Remember that whole story in the World Anti-Communist League? Yeah, so he's paying all of them with the budget. In any case, clandestine collections and covert operations were by then absorbing 60% of the CIA personnel.

26:30 and 74% of the budget. When Roscoe Hillencotter was gone, he turned to a sea command, a cruiser division in the Pacific, and reached Korean waters soon enough to lead the ship, giving gunfight support to the U.S. Marines in the evacuation after China reasserted itself in the northern part of Korea. The new DCI

26:59 was General Walter Bedell Smith, who assumed office in October 7, 1950. Beadle, which was his nickname, had the prestige and contact that Hill and Cotter lacked. General Smith had been General Dwight Eisenhower's chief of staff during the war, a field commander afterwards, and an ambassador to Moscow.

27:32 Having stood up to Joseph Stalin in the position as the Moscow ambassador, Smith had a lot more prestige. Less than a week after he came on board at the CIA, the new director of intelligence announced that he was unilaterally assuming direct administration of Frank Wisner's office, a change reluctantly accepted.

28:01 by state defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. A couple of months later, when Smith learned that a subordinate actually controlled communications between headquarters and the field stations so that the DCI did not see all of the cables, he threw a fit. He wanted to see everything. Beatle Smith's next move came in January 51, when he got Alan Dulles appointed as deputy director at the CIA. As such, he was supposed to manage both

28:32 Frank Wisner and the Office of Special Operations, which gathered the clandestine intelligence. Dulles was perhaps the best OSS spy, famous for all of his work in Switzerland during the war and arranging the surrender of German armies in northern Italy at the end of the war. A lawyer by trade, Dulles had been active in politics and government to include the Versailles Peace Conference in 1919.

29:00 and had authored books of his exploits. He was the author of the NSD-50 study, basically setting up the whole structure. The merger idea was known as a fusion project. Both Wisner and the OSI director, who at that time was General Willard Wyman, were known to be in favor of it. So was Lyman Kirkpatrick.

29:30 an executive assistant to the DCI. Smith had been approached regarding the subject of CIA legal counsel Lawrence Houston even before he took over, but there were many differences over how fusion ought to be accomplished. So, in August of 1951, on a trial basis, they basically

29:59 took the Western Hemisphere divisions of both offices and put them together, of the OSS and the OPC, just to see how it would work. Fused them together. The last straw came in 1952 as a byproduct of the Lee-Me partisan operation. The OPC, Wisner's branch, was in Bangkok and tried to recruit a senior CIA officer away from the other directorate. This led...

30:28 to open dissension between them. So, as it ends up, they fuse the whole thing together, and Frank Wisner ends up being the boss of the entire operation. As the Wurlitzer, called Jupebok, Wisner, he was called the Wurlitzer, because he played everybody like a piano, was quite interested in propaganda and psychological warfare, and anything that would seek

30:59 secret or black, including operations and propaganda. He also had what was referred to as gray propaganda and operations as well. The same support that Wisner had lent to the Committee for a Free Europe, which was the balloon leaflet effort, was going to be now applied in many different areas.

31:28 An Asian version of Radio Free Europe was set up where? Oh, in Taiwan and beamed across mainland China. There was evidence of CIA complicity in subsidizing publications, labor movements, youth movements, public interest groups, including the committee of one million against the admission of communist China into the UN. The propaganda effort was nothing if not global in scope.

31:57 What do you see today that the CIA is involved in via National Endowment for Democracy and USAID? The exact same thing. News media, labor movements, youth movements, and public interest groups. Pursuing these programs, Wisner was simply following orders from Harry Truman, a president deeply interested in psychological warfare as well. Truman held the belief that psychological warfare was insufficient.

32:29 an insufficiently appreciated resource. In February 1949, he ordered the creation of the State Department's Psychological Warfare Office. So it was started in the State Department, and Frank Wisner was in the State Department before he moved over to the CIA. And that tells you what we've been saying for decades prior to the CIA, not decades that we've been doing this.

32:56 But remember, we were talking about how basically the mafia and the oligarchs worked hand in hand with the State Department in overthrowing governments before the CIA was created. They just moved that arrangement along with their lawyers like Alan Dulles into the CIA to continue doing the exact same thing. The CIA has never been about intelligence at all. None.

33:21 The intelligence aspect of it is focused in supporting oligarchs, not the country, which is why they go around overthrowing governments on behalf of the oligarch and not us, because technically we don't need anybody government overthrown. NSC 59 established the staff for psychological operations within the State Department and appropriated responsibility to state and Pentagon. Truman approved orders for a, quote,

33:54 plan for national psychological warfare when he signed NSC 74. He also asked Rear Admiral Sidney Sowers, S-O-U-E-R-S, to return as a consultant and review non-military Cold War activities. Sowers learned that suggestions were afloat for the creation of an interagency group in this area, responsible directly to the president and the NSC.

34:23 The former DCI supported the recommendation to which Truman responded by setting up a Psychological Strategy Board, PSB, under the NSC in the spring of 51. That fall, in approving the NSC 10-5, the president gave the PSB membership on the 10-5 panel supporting covert operations.

34:49 The creation of PSB marked a significant milestone in the escalation of secret warfare, which now would include propaganda. But those operations were conducted on a more or less ad hoc basis with little formal interagency coordination. Now the PSB would be brainstorming comprehensive propaganda plans supporting both the military and the CIA.

35:17 Planning for propaganda and psychological warfare and later monitoring national efforts in that area was the job of a PSB staff office. The first staff director that Truman chose was Gordon Gray, G-R-A-Y, Gordon. And I would love to know whether Gordon Gray is related to our other Gray.

35:45 that ran the PR firm that also ran a prostitution ring in Washington, D.C. under the guise of being a PR guy. So Gordon Gray had previously sat on the president's NSC while serving as the secretary of the army. Isn't that sweet? He was known to Frank Wisner and also CIA deputy director William Jackson.

36:14 All of them had worked in the same Wall Street law firm called Carter, Ledyard, and Milburn before World War II. Gray hired as his assistant in this psychological warfare area a guy by the name of Tracy Barnes, B-A-R-N-E-S.

36:41 The first comprehensive plan was for Germany. It was completed and sent to the PSB in the summer of 1952. Now, keep in mind, this is still the time when Reinhard Galen is the chief of intel at the BND for West Germany. So, they also set up one for Korea, and despite...

37:15 all of its ambitious aims, the PSB encountered bureaucratic opposition to psychological warfare planning at just about every turn. Truman had previously established the PSB, and they often found it difficult to get the interagency cooperation that was necessary in order to carry out their mission. Gordon Gray may have been a friend of Wisner's, but the CIA man was a seasoned bureaucrat, infighter, and guarded his territory.

37:45 vigorously. In late December 51, Gray was forced to appeal to Walter Bedell Smith to send CIA representatives to the PSB office for meetings. Gray also sent Smith copies of his informational briefings on what their psychological warfare objectives were in hopes that the CIA would help. In mid-1952,

38:11 the DCI Smith was still reacting angrily to continued claims that the CIA support for the PSB remained inadequate. In particular, some PSB planners felt the CIA had not developed sufficient information on political differences among Soviet leaders and considered requesting a special national intelligence estimate on that specific subject in order to prepare a PSB plan to put

38:40 in place upon the death of Stalin. So, all of the high-level interest in the encouragement of President Truman and the advice of psychological warfare experts like Paul Leinbarger had not created the technique above a relatively crude stage of development. An early plan for the psychological offensive against the Soviet Union, for example, is dotted with

39:12 moralistic rhetoric that sounds more like a collection of homilies and wild themes. The three objectives in this plan were to emphasize to Soviet rulers and people the reckless nature of their policy, to establish goodwill between the people, and to widen the differences thought to exist between the Soviet people and their rulers.

39:39 The propaganda theme suggested to each of these objectives included the following. The attempts of all tyrants to conquer the world have always failed. Truth, mercy, pity, charity. You got to love this. Love of family, hospitality are some of the basic values which have always been dear to the Soviet people and every other person in whose government we went in and overthrew.

40:07 There's a bunch of more jargon, but it all sounds basically like that. The close relationship between psychological warfare and covert operations is further demonstrated by the composition of the strategy boards themselves. An early representative of the Secretary of Defense was the guy named John Magruder, who had managed many covert operations for the OSS and the Pentagon's SSU. The DCI was CIA's delegate.

40:37 Frank Wisner, and representing the Joint Chiefs of Staff was Rear Admiral Leslie Stevens, S-T-E-V-E-N-S, who had also handled military participation in covert operations at the Pentagon. Rather than restraining and coordinating propaganda activities, the Psychological Strategy Board Harry Truman created instead became a stimulant for the intensification of the Cold War.

41:06 which was its entire purpose. Gordon Gray's appointment at the PSB came unexpectedly. Son of a president of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Gray had the luxury of being able to devote himself to selfless public service because he was a millionaire.

41:29 A North Carolina state senator, both before and after the war, an assistant secretary at the Pentagon and then secretary of the Army, Gray left government service in 1950 to preside over the University of North Carolina. A few short months after his arrival on Capitol Hill, Walter Bedell Smith and William H. Jackson came down from CIA to extend Truman's offer to head PSB.

41:57 Smith said he wanted Gray to succeed him as the DCI and working at the PSB would make him the logical choice. Besides, said Smith, the president is serious about setting this up and we think that you'd be well equipped to do it. Gordon Gray was, in fact, a logical choice for the director of the board during the war. He had worked at the broadcast section of the European High Command in Luxembourg, setting up.

42:26 a similar radio-free Europe communication center. Because of... Hold on. Goodness. I just swallowed wrong. Hold on. We love you. All right. Let's keep going. Because of his position, Gray began to spend half of his work week in the Capitol, and he kept going back to North Carolina.

43:13 because he had left so suddenly. So he's not even there half the time. And they were using funds drawn away from the Pentagon and the CIA basically to set up this unit. Gray was later able to get the PSB into its own building around the corner from Blair House. Service at PSB was the beginning of over three decades of...

43:45 association in the intelligence field for Gordon Gray. His discretion and ability became legend, but in the early period, they could not field him from the interagency struggle between all of the different players. Gray thought the PSB had a charter to put together a plan for the Cold War. So did the Soviet press, judging from their denunciation of him. But Gray's friend, Frank Wisner,

44:16 refused, while PSB was still at their original office, to make the short walk from his office to attend any of Gray's meetings. As for the State Department, Paul Nitz, N-I-T-Z-E, chief of the policy planning staff there, told Gray, look, you just forget about policy. That's not your business. We'll make the policy and then you can put it in your damn radio.

44:44 Others had an easier time, namely the military experts that were in the unconventional warfare area, for whom Gray had toiled while still at the Pentagon. In the early post-war years, there was little support for these methods in the armed forces. Army Ranger units and Merrill's Magruder of Burma fame were disbanded, and the Air Force had their... Hold on. Oh, come on.

45:18 I'm telling you, one thing after another, my computer just blacked out. Hold on a second. Let's see if I can get that back up and running. That's awful. I don't want to go on because the people over there going over there to listen aren't going to be able to hear us. We're almost done. Let me wait for just a second. It's an interesting start to the year, isn't it? Oh, my God.

46:00 It's like, boy, you saw that the very first three days were Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. So it was the first three days of the years were WTF. Right. That's a very good point. Just saying. Yeah. Anyway, so basically, I need to do, I'm going to make myself a note. I need to go back and see if Gordon Gray is related to our other gray guy.

46:37 Wouldn't that be wild? It's always in the family. It's always in the family. You're absolutely right, Stella. Well, sometimes they try to hide it by the wives because the wives, you know, have a different last name, but it's always in the family somehow or another. It always seems to be. Yeah, that's a funny point, Stella, because when Warhamster and I were talking about the old families being in the Northeast.

47:16 the, why is that not, we made the point of how they intermarried, the families did. And one of the families that he had never heard of was that family that we found way back when in Buffalo called the Rumseys. And I told him, I said, I cannot believe you haven't heard of the Rumseys. And he's like, who's that?

47:45 And I said, that's the family that Wild Bill Donovan married into in Buffalo, New York. And they owned like half of Buffalo. All of the prime real estate was in their family. And they're the family that got, they were in railroads and all kinds of other stuff. And they're the ones that got the train station that looks like Grand Central Station in Washington, D.C. and New York built in Buffalo, New York. And going back.

48:13 And I don't have it in front of me. But if you look at the family where all of the daughters and mainly the daughters of the Rumseys, who all they married, like the one daughter married while Bill Donovan. It's like the who's who, like one of them married a Harriman. It was crazy how they were all intermarried. So no wonder he got the job to run the OSF.

48:43 It's exactly how the feudism is. In Europe, the dynasties or the monarchies and stuff, how they intermarried with their daughters. It was about money, the dowry, power, land, military. Well, and of course, at the time, supposedly while Bill Donovan was in the military, but also a lawyer that was in the...

49:12 the who's who of the New York crowd. So yeah, I found it fascinating. And of course, when we were up there last summer, we were driving around looking at all of that. Like their houses are actually part of the historic, the ones that are left. And they had like a park. All of the family, all of these families lived on, like it would be like Grand Central Park in New York. They have a version of that in Buffalo.

49:42 And all of these grand houses are all around this park. And I mean, they're like monster big houses. Monster big houses. So it was fun. The churches up there are like 10 times as big as most churches. And I'd say more than half of them were empty. There was like nothing going on. And they had like big.

50:12 Most of them had these very large brick buildings. They were all brick or stone. And they had these very large buildings next to them that housed the school. Every one of them had a school. It was just like crazy. Very interesting. Very interesting indeed. Yeah, because I was...

50:37 I'm totally enthralled about the, like when I went up to Newport, Rhode Island, I was just like, whoa. And then, you know, like all the different, like back in those days, I mean, that was like where they used to go in the summers or whatever. They had their different, I didn't know about Buffalo. And then they all used to also go to Europe a lot too. And those ties between Europe and America with those founding families, if you want to say of the industrial revolution. So we're back on there. Thank the dark goodness.

51:05 Different name here. OK. All right. So hopefully I mean, I can't see myself. There we go. All right. So we're back up. Yeah, I will tell you the Newport News area blew my socks off. And I mean, I've been to a lot of those types of houses in Europe. And obviously I've been to St. Peter's and all those other places. But Newport really kind of.

51:32 was overwhelming in so many different ways to me that all of those big houses and all that other stuff, it was very interesting. That's how come I, when I came home, I switched all of my cooking utensils over to copper because I walked in there and like the third house we walked in, I'm like, what the hell? Why is all these people have copper dishes in their kitchens? There's nothing but copper.

52:01 So that night we went back to the RV and I started looking up copper and I'm like, son of a bitch. That's like the best thing that you can cook in because it there's an interaction with copper in food when you cook it. That adds very healthy, positive ions and you need those. You need copper in your system.

52:23 And that's why like in the olden days, like if you go like, well, you were in Europe and stuff. That's why they used to eat on sterling silver, because silver was really important for us to have. I was blown away. So now I have copper utensils to cook on, but they are very expensive. All right, let's get back to it. Others had an easier time of it, namely the military experts on unconventional warfare for whom Gray had toiled while he was at the Pentagon. And we just talked about.

52:53 Him being part of that whole operation was Merrill's marauders during Burma, which we talked about. At first, even the interest of senior generals like Dwight D. Eisenhower was insufficient to recreate such capabilities. Some senior officers felt covert psychological warfare operations would not be accepted by the American people. And they're not. But they didn't give a shit. The advocates of military.

53:22 PSYOP wars were then assisted by the appearance of a NSC 10-A memorandum, which demonstrated presidential interest in the area of psychological warfare. Well, well, my gosh, then let's just have it. The Army began a staff study in January of 48 that led to the adoption of a plan to establish a PSYOP warfare staff at theater, army, and corps levels.

53:52 Army proponents also attempted to carve out greater roles for themselves because, you know, the infighting of the military is something to behold if you've never seen it. General Albert Wiedemeyer, chief of the Army's Plans and Ops Division, felt that the assignment of all-Black propaganda to the CIA was unsound. General McClure, a prime mover in the Army,

54:19 effort to enter the psyops warfare arena himself, argued that the Army possessed the greatest capacity for propaganda in the form of outlets and audience than even the State Department did. And Assistant Secretary of the Army, Gordon Gray, also encouraged the development of psychological warfare. At first, the paramilitary covert operations were considered part of the psyops warfare function.

54:47 which was the province of the Army G2 staff. The paramilitary side had been viewed with some distaste by the Army Secretary Kenneth Royal, who said at a June 1948 meeting that he wished his service to know nothing about covert operations. Prodded by Gray and others, Royal soon began to allow the participation in overt and later even covert propaganda. By March 1949, Gray was forced to admit

55:17 to his boss that we are actually participating in Europe in the psychological warfare arena. Meanwhile, the Army planning staff acquired a special warfare section within its psychological warfare area. Manned by veterans from Merrill's Marooters, the OSS former staff, and guerrilla commanders in the Philippines, the special warfare section laid down contingency plans for paramilitary

55:45 actions, including one to obstruct westward movement of the Soviets into Eastern Europe. So I find it interesting that they say that the guerrilla commanders in the Philippines, because you remember that the guerrilla commanders in the Philippines was Ed Lansdale, and he's the one that came up with all of the psychological warfare against the Philippines. Carrying out covert operations naturally would require real units and troops.

56:19 JCS Joint Chiefs of Staff 1807-1 recommended against any sort of special warfare troops. Instead, it favored individual training within specialists who could then call on, could be called on to lead a guerrilla unit. For its part, the Army consulted with former OSS Detachment 101 Commander Ray Pierce, P.E.

56:48 ERF, on the formation of a ranger group that they planned in early 1949 to include about 115 officers and 135 enlisted. These airborne reconnaissance agencies would be assigned temporarily to theater groups and Army units to execute specific missions. While the Army continued planning, the Air Force moved ahead with its first

57:17 special warfare units called Air Resupply and Communication, or ARC wings. Five of those units were formed and stationed at bases in Great Britain, Libya, Okinawa, and the Philippines. The ARC wings operated a wide variety of transport aircraft in exactly the same fashion as the civil air transport.

57:46 The ARC wings engaged in disaster relief, frequent maneuvers and training flights, and also used all of those missions as cover for their covert missions. So just to let you know, they're using basically Red Cross type relief missions as cover for covert operations.

58:17 The further impetus to create actual military units in special warfare was an action of Congress in 1950, building on America's traditional commitment to freedom and interest of captive nations. Oh, my God. The irony of that is just hilarious. A bill was proposed to set aside funds for the legion of Eastern European immigrants who might be sent back into their countries.

58:47 Now, keep in mind, these Eastern immigrants are Nazi terrorists. This bill became public law 587 passed by the 81st Congress of 1950 on the eve of the Korean War. So we're getting ready to start a war in Korea. So we pay the Congress to pass a law saying that we can do it using all of these psychological warfare special operations.

59:18 And we know where that led us. That led us into setting up stay-behind units in the northern area and basically annihilating most of the people in the south who wanted just their country back with no foreigners in it. The bill also provided for up to 2,500 alien enlistments in the U.S. Army. Now, what does that mean? That means just like what they did with the Cuban exiles, guys.

59:47 Aliens are illegal, but these are legal aliens. So they took people who were not citizens of the United States that were former Nazis and enlisted them in the United States Army. And where did we see that? Well, we saw that of all of the Cuban exiles that were not American citizens that were told they're going to create a special unit inside the army.

1:00:18 and they're going to put these people in them under quote-unquote enlistment, and then they're going to give them their citizenship. These people that are fighting over H-1B visas have no clue any of this shit has ever been done before. When the immigrant dream perhaps did not come to fruition, the special forces themselves did. Once again, it was the Korean War that furnished the specific impetus to change laws. Now, you know why we went to war?

1:00:50 At Army headquarters in Washington, the increased need for coordination arising from the war, combined with continuing interest in the possibilities of psychological warfare, led to the creation of the Office of the Chief of Psychological Warfare under an experienced leadership of General Robert McClure. This office also charged with special warfare planning.

1:01:17 Although in 1950, only seven active duty Army officers were in that area, by 1952, which was two years into the Korean War, there were whole radio leaflet propaganda units, and the Army had set aside 2,500 authorizations for covert warriors in the 10 Special Forces Group. I'm going to sneeze again. Hold on. The early months of 1950,

1:01:58 were a time of change in the entire covert operations. The Korean War, winding down and in a stalemate under, I think, yeah, here it is, signed July 27, 1953. By then, they had tried repeatedly to insert paramilitary operations inside of China. Those in Korea,

1:02:32 On the ground, ground to a halt, reports of the Korean partisan units claimed accomplishments, but the veterans had a completely different story as to how the war went. The Korean Air was witnessed a substantial buildup in the means to psychological warfare and covert operations. You would also be very fair in saying that we fought the Korean War to create this capability.

1:03:04 Before the end of the conflict, the CIA and the military possessed paramilitary resource out the yin-yang. They had covert legions ready to undertake any type of operation anywhere, and operators like Frank Wisner and managers like Gordon Gray were equipped with all of the necessary resources to do so. Through his enthusiasm for psychological warfare, President Truman had played a major role.

1:03:35 in the buildup and the creation of the psychological warfare capability that we see present in the United States today. While it occurred in secret, in public, the political perception developed that Truman's foreign policy of quote-unquote containment stood helpless in the face of global challenges of the Cold War. So it looks like, overtly, he was saying we're just going to contain this while at the same time...

1:04:03 That containment consisted of growing secret covert operations that they were using to antagonize the people they supposedly were trying to contain. Just to make that clear. Eisenhower spoke often of the ideological struggle against communism. A reoccurring theme of the 1952 electoral campaign was that Truman's administration had failed to wage the struggle.

1:04:32 The Republican Party platform offered to roll back the Iron Curtain, not just contain it. While Eisenhower, though he pledged to end the Korean War, promised to intensify the Cold War through such measures as removing restrictions on Chiang Kai-shek, unleashing him against the mainland, and strengthening propaganda efforts in Europe. It was Dwight D. Eisenhower who won the 1952 election. His victory?

1:04:59 created a new atmosphere in the CIA where at least one intelligence officer felt the Republican platform read like a proposal that he needed to rewrite the CIA and special operations in general. The Monday after the election, one of the senior paramilitary officers home from Bangkok pranced through the directorate of plans at the CIA and said, now we'll finish off the GD commie bastards.

1:05:29 That's the end of that chapter. Nice to know that the CIA loved Eisenhower. So there, all of you people telling me that I was wrong about Eisenhower. If the CIA liked Eisenhower, you know damn good and well he was not a good guy. So that settles that. We all know he's not a good guy anyway, but just had to make that point.

1:05:56 If the CIA likes you, you are not good. If the CIA fears you or hates you, you are really good. So, on that note, did Bridget leave? I don't see her. She could be in between towers or something. She has a funky connection when she's driving. Okay. People are still having a problem down in the listening. It keeps glitching in and out.

1:06:31 You're so loved by X. All I can tell you. Those truth people want to keep blocking you. They suck so bad. All I can tell you is you guys have to go turn on Rumble as well. And you can listen over there. Obviously, everybody tells me, I've never listened to myself, that once it's finished and you rerun it, then the sound is fine. So I don't even know how that's possible. But anyway, let's see.

1:06:58 If we've got anything over here, X still fading in and out in a no-go here. I guess some of us, let's see, was it something I said? I don't know what these people are talking about. Sound problems here, too, the people are saying over on Rumble. Wow, that's interesting. Well, you are staticky.

1:07:31 On my side, but, you know, I got to wonder if at this point it might not be your equipment or your mic. I've not changed anything. I don't touch anything on this. It's my computer and my phone, and I never touch it. The only thing I've ever changed is my phone when Bridget tells me to change the mic. I had an update. Huh? There was an update today. I did an update yesterday. Did you do one yesterday?

1:08:02 Uh, no, I am. I was working. Yeah. So I think it's the update from yesterday. Bridget always checks every day and text me and tells me if I need to update. Yeah. I just think that they don't want your truth coming out. They don't want your, um, you know what you're spreading because, you know, the whole matrix is falling apart. They can't hold up their narratives and you're helping us connect dots even more. So, and as we all wake up, it's just amazing. I think that that's what it is. Okay.

1:08:34 Just that second, Stellar turned all garbly. Talk again, Stellar. I heard her just fine. Yeah. And see, I didn't. She was all garbly. Say something, Stellar. They're trying to block her space or get people to get frustrated to leave. They don't want us to be able to ask questions or connect dots. Yeah. Yeah. And you're fine now. So I don't know what the heck it's all about. Well.

1:09:03 Probably me attacking CIA agents that are pretending to be whistleblowers on X isn't winning me any friends. Just saying. Oh, my God. I am laughing so hard. I think I'm going to wet my pants. Seriously. This is almost as better. This is almost as good as our house tour that the news agency did. Right. Before it's closed off today for.

1:09:32 you know, bomb threats or something. Oh, the New Orleans guy's house where they let the reporter walk through and then all of a sudden, everybody was like, hell, that can't be a real crime scene or they'd have never let that happen. And they're like, oh my God, it's a real crime scene. Block it back off. Nothing to see here. Yeah. The whole thing's just ridiculous. Well, even the thing that, you know, that happened here in Vegas too, you know, that Tesla.

1:10:03 Car, all the stuff that they're hiding and stuff, you know, it's just totally playbook to cause fear. So the guy that got the quote email, right? He's actually military intelligence too. The guy that got? So the guy that got sent the email, right? So somebody sent this guy, quote unquote, the email, right?

1:10:33 And he decided he was going to go on Sean Ryan. Well, he's military intelligence, too. So it's like, are you for real? Right. But then is now all over Twatter apologizing that he looks like, what did he call it, a glow boy or something like that? Oh, I realize how this may look. It's like, no, dude, you really don't. It looks like what it is, right? That you're all just.

1:11:02 trying to play us on another game that none of us believe anymore. See, one of my biggest things with all of this is that they are clearly distracting us from something else. Now, whether or not it was the connection to Fort Bragg, which McVeigh was there as well, I don't know. But I mean, this is like a huge distraction, which in my mind means that they're doing something else. And then you find out that the wife just left him.

1:11:34 And she's like the big Democrat, right, in the family. They were already separated. And he just went to try to get back with her the day before all of this happened. And she said no. So you don't know what to do. Well, I'm still hands down saying she was the handler. She was like the diehard DNC donor, right? And he's the Trump guy.

1:12:02 I'm sorry. And then they separate right before all of this? No, no, no, no, no. And weren't they both military at one time? She was a nurse, yeah, over at Landstuhl, which is an army hospital, which is supposedly where they met. Okay, so the one that was in Vegas and the one that was in New Orleans, wasn't he also military too? He had been in the military. It didn't say that he was actually currently in the military. The one in Vegas was currently in the military.

1:12:33 Okay, okay. And weren't they both out of Fort Bragg at one time? But just to keep in mind, throughout all of our research, there are two military bases that the CIA brings everybody to for training, Fort Bragg and Fort Benning. There have been, if you went around the world and looked at every terror organization in the world,

1:13:04 They are going to have graduates of Fort Bragg and Fort Benning, every single one of them, because they have consistently brought those people to Fort Bragg and Fort Benning repeatedly for decades. It goes back as far as the when we first did the very first book we did was Paul Williams. And we'll talk to him about that on the 9th featured.

1:13:33 Fort Bragg and the Schools of America. And so there has been an ongoing effort to use the resources. And the CIA, I know now, has a station on Fort Bragg and on Fort Benning. The one on Fort Benning, if I'm not mistaken, square footage wise, is even bigger than the one on Fort Bragg.

1:14:04 The reason why I was bringing it up, I can't remember if it was Mike Pompeo, but it would have been probably towards the end of Trump's term before. He went away for a bit and he went to Fort Bragg and he was locked up in there for a while. And it just seems like, you know, because we do know that the CIA has, you know, like you said, you know, it's like they have the shadow thing going on and they do all kinds of crazy stuff to the poor military people.

1:14:33 So it just makes you wonder how deep this MKUltra, whatever they call it, is. It's just still out of Operation Gladio. Yeah, it's very interesting on their involvement of the military. Because if you've never been in the military, you don't understand the vulnerability of an 18-year-old away from home that is put under the duress.

1:15:04 of basic training. And then for those of them that are then selected, once they're out in the field, generally they are given at least a few years in their original MOS before they identify them as special forces material. And then basically that much more intensive training starts again and goes on, you know, for the better part of a year or two. And the duress that they're put under,

1:15:34 is to break them down and build them back up into basically a sniper, a trained assassin. You can call it a sniper, but it's a trained assassin. And in order to do that, there's a lot of things in preparation that has to be done. You have to basically disassociate yourself with humanity in order to be able to do that.

1:16:03 And one of the ways they do that is by demonizing whoever they're going to assign you to kill. So the whole propaganda campaign of presenting child soldiers around the world was to ensure that our special forces had no problem killing children because they're going to grow up into being terrorists. And then the same thing with the women, jihadists,

1:16:33 You can't have any reservations of killing women because they're carrying bombs too. So they have systematically dehumanized anybody and everybody that they then want to use as a destabilization force in their strategy of tension. In the United States, I posted earlier today several excerpts of the new

1:17:03 demonization of Americans. And how if you had a peppy frog, you were a domestic terrorist. If you had a Gadsden flag, you were a domestic terrorist. They are doing to our special forces, children of Americans here, under the guise of military special forces, the dehumanization of Americans.

1:17:31 And anybody that's MAGA is potentially a domestic terrorist. And those of you who've been with us for a long time understand how this happened. You had the one guy that was from Arkansas that got executed on the day they blew up Oklahoma. Then you had Ruby Ridge. Then you had Waco. Then you had Oklahoma. All of those things have an April 19th somewhere in them.

1:18:03 As those things occurred, you got narratives and propaganda, big ammunition. You got Christians are crazy. You got white people are demons. And you got all of them being domestic terrorists because they're doing domestic terrorism things. And as a result of that, then it became open season on white Christian men and everybody became a racist.

1:18:34 And that's how propaganda campaigns are launched. And that's how they then, if they have these kids in these isolated units that are deployed all over the world and they're not here in the United States and don't even know what's going on, they come back to the United States and they go, oh, my God, we've got a Nazi in charge. These dumbass Americans has elected a Nazi. So we're going to have to target his supporters in order to make sure he doesn't get reelected.

1:19:03 Oh, my God, he got reelected. We're going to have to target his supporters in order to create the ground conditions for martial law so we can make sure he doesn't actually get into office. Because if he gets into office, we're all screwed. And they don't think screwed means we're all going to prison because we're a bunch of treasonous bastards. They think the whole world's going to fall apart if Trump gets into office.

1:19:29 And you can see the narrative. It just kept building and building and building. And that's why I thought this book is so important to do right now, because it explains to you how the psychological warfare capabilities inside the United States was created and why. If these bastards are willing to go to Korea, kill tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people in order to get psychological warfare.

1:19:58 set up in the United States, they'll do anything. They'll do anything to you. They'll do anything to your kids. They'll do anything to all of us. Well, it's kind of like, you know, like we were talking, you guys had talked about, you know, like the...

1:20:15 Jim Morrison, the CIA that was doing the Charles Manson stuff and then like drinking the Kool-Aid down in South America. You know, it's like they've been doing these little tests and now it's like more full blown. Like you said, instead of just being against a bunch of hippie people or whatever that are strung out on LSD or whatever it was that that thing was about. Now it's against, you know, say people that are MAGA and pro-Republic. Yeah. Yeah. And you.

1:20:46 The problem with all of this is most Americans didn't even know what was going on overseas. The Americans that knew what was going on overseas thought, well, it's going on overseas. They must be bad guys. And it's never okay, no matter what the other person is, because they're still a person. I don't really care if somebody wants to live in a communist country.

1:21:13 If they don't want to live in a communist country, let them overthrow their own government. That should have nothing to do with us. We as a country should have the economic ability to... I started skipping. Oh, Cousin It's having problems with her. All right, let me bring her back up as a speaker. So anyway, yeah, I...

1:21:50 The whole thing is obviously very disturbing from our perspective. But it's up to us now to learn what the history actually is and to make sure that we never go back to where we've been. There's just a lot of really weird things going on overall. But it all fits the same pattern. And boy, it was so amazing to see how many people called this out when it happened.

1:22:28 Within 24 hours. And that gives us hope. That people are waking up. More and more every day. So let me just say this. I was going through. Several of these people. Bullshit. And like. Either the first comment. Or you might have to go down three or four. There's one of you guys in there going. You're full of crap. Go see Colonel Taylor.

1:22:58 oh my gosh, that made me feel so good. Because you're in their areas, calling them out for lying to you. And that was awesome. I loved it. So you guys get a gold star for the day. You guys are awesome. Warrior on, because that is exactly what we need. We need people going into their spaces, calling them out, telling them they're liars when they're spreading the bullshit.

1:23:29 And, yeah, so I did notice the one guy from Tucker's show who was, I forget even what his name was, said he was his booking agent. And I'm like, you're the one that needs to be fired. You get him with a CIA assassin.

1:23:51 And then you have a guy on that claims to be a historian that doesn't even know Jim Jones was after he had studied him for, you know, weeks and weeks and weeks, didn't even know he was in the CIA. What the fuck? You need to be fired. That guy was not a historian. That was a joke. But anyway, having fun, making friends. Absolutely. All right. Well, I don't see any hands.

1:24:27 So we can actually call it early today. We don't do that very often, which, you know, is a good thing. But anyway, I am going to, I have a piece of information that I'm going to share with you guys in a few minutes, but I need to do it in a separate video.

1:24:52 Because I've got to put some pieces together and I have to have both my phone, which I do the show on. So I can't use my phone to show everybody the part that I want to show them. So when we get off here, give me about 15 minutes and hopefully I'll have this other piece put together that speaks about what's going on and where it all came from.

1:25:19 Because it's very, very interesting, the overlap of many of these different players as it relates back to that directive that they implemented in 2021 that basically declared all of us domestic terrorists for the military. So anyway, thanks everybody for being here. Have a great weekend. We will be back.

1:25:50 Next Monday, guaranteed. And we'll be finishing up our book. Just so that you know, we're on chapter six. And let me go back to the beginning. Did he have a... Oh, dang, we got a lot. Yeah, just to give you a preview. We have the...

1:26:20 Create and Exploit Troublesome Problems, The Archipelago, The War for the Roof of the World, which is really actually very interesting part of it. And then we have Cuba 1 and 2, The Cold War, Vietnam, The High Plateau, Global Reach, Rogue Elephant, and Resurrection, New Wave, Covert Actions, President Politics, and Paramilitary Options is the last chapter.

1:26:49 So again, it's an amazing book for the time that we're living through right now. But I unfortunately found a few more. And weirdly enough, one of you guys sent me the link to a book called The China Lobby in American Politics. And I just read like three chapters of this book yesterday.

1:27:19 It blew my mind. Just from the perspective of no one in America has any freaking clue about China. Nobody. This is history that none of us learned. And weirdly enough, it's all completely relevant as we speak. So lots more to cover before we get to the end of our journey. So have a nice weekend.

1:27:48 See you guys on Monday. Take care.
