0:00 I wanted to let you know what was going on. X obviously crashed a couple of times today and it will not let me start the space. So what we're going to do is we're going to try to have Bridget open the space and see if she can get it open because there are some open. And if it's just being an ass to me today, which I wouldn't be at all surprised. Okay.

0:30 So let me go on here and see if I can find the space. I'm going to ask Bridget to send me the link. Send me link. And worst case scenario, I am going to do it from Rumble. And I don't know if...

1:08 Probably won't be able to stream it over to X. So who knows? This is crazy. What I will have to do is after we do the recording, I'll have to schedule it to play airing it over to X. So anybody who will suggest on X and doesn't have access to Rumble will be able to see it. So we'll see how it all goes.

1:42 Never a dull moment when you try to expose the CIA. So let me check here again to see if I can. Yeah, I can't find any. This is the screen I get. I don't know if you guys can see it. No. Oops, something went wrong. And then as soon as I put it up there to you so you guys can see it, it goes away. Craziness.

2:22 So I can't find it because it won't show me the options. If I click on, yeah, right there it says, oops, something went wrong. Spaces are not loading. So I can't get access to spaces at all. So let me go back to let Bridget know. Do you have access to spaces? Did you get blank?

3:06 screen too. Not a big deal. I mean, we'll do it here and then we can just stream it over there later. Poor Bridget. She's like, I'm trying. I'm trying. All right. I don't want to start if she's going to be able to get it up, but I don't want to stop not start. Probably going, bitch, leave me alone. I'm trying to do this. Bridget's way too nice to do that. That would be me. All right.

4:35 Go to Rumble. All right. All right. We're going to do it on Rumble. Screw X. Okay. So we're on our last part. If you guys, I know there's about 50 some people. If you guys wouldn't mind in the chat, just kind of let us know you're there. Just say, hey, I'm here. Good evening, whatever.

5:10 Hey, just started my space. Want to join? Oh. Then she texts it to me just as I get started. It won't let me join. Let me go to her profile on X. Hold on. Bridget. Wing. Gal. Let's see if it shows in her profile. She said it crashed on her too. All right. So.

6:06 Let me just do this. Fuck it. Stop messing with it. All right. To begin for our last session of this book, Strange Tales of the Paramilitary. Given the close ties of both Clapper and Brennan to the private security racket on the surface, their criticisms and attack on Trump are a bit surprising. However, both men are career intelligence officers with backgrounds and analysis in.

6:38 SIGINT signals intelligence and doing analysis. Conversely, many of Trump's top security backers largely come from covert operations. Like he's talking about people like Eric Prince. Prince is famous, famously a former Navy SEAL.

7:06 while people like General Flynn and General Boykin are veterans of JSOC assignments. Flynn directed intelligence for JSOC, while Boykin commanded it in the 1990s. Boykin has also been deputy director of special activities, which was housed within the National Clandestine Services for the CIA during the 1990s as well. While Prince has had many dealings with the CIA,

7:36 Then there's people like General Keith Kellogg, who spent much of Trump's first term working in the National Security Council. Kellogg spent the bulk of his career at the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions in rapid response for special operations support. He does, however, have a background with U.S. Army Special Forces after his first tour in Vietnam with the 101.

8:00 the 101st Airborne, he took the Special Forces Officer Qualification course at Bragg and then returned to Vietnam where he served as a Special Forces Officer assisting the Cambodian Army. After returning from Vietnam, Kellogg was briefly detailed to the 10th Special Forces Group at Fort Devin and later commanded the Special Operations Command Europe, which is the, I guess it's the USOC command during the 90s.

8:29 Hence, Kellogg was close to the special operations community, too. And it's likely that intelligence veterans such as Clapper and Brennan trace his back reform initiated by Donald Rumsfeld during Bush II's years. On the one hand, Rumsfeld pushed to create an intelligence czar within the Pentagon, a post that eventually became known as the Undersecretary for Intelligence.

8:58 This proved to be an enormously powerful position because it was granted authority over all of the intelligence like the NSA, DIA, geospatial, NRO, National Reconnaissance Office, blah, blah, blah. This move angered many people within the CIA because they like being able to do things shadowy.

9:27 and not have like a single belly button because it allows them to play different angles, as Benjamin would say. Effectively, career military intelligence officers like Clapper were now under the thumb of a political appointment, while the Pentagon had a unified intelligence capacity that would then rival and compete for funds with the CIA.

9:57 might actually offer an intelligence assessment that was not approved by the CIA. Rumsfeld wasn't done, though. The CIA had nearly a monopoly on covert operations and special operation forces, most notably the Green Berets, were frequently used by the CIA. But Rumsfeld sought to effectively circumvent the CIA and stage its own.

10:25 independent covert operations through JSOC. It wasn't just that the CIA that Rumsfeld wanted to bypass. He wanted to bypass much of the hierarchy within the Pentagon itself. He envisioned JSOC being a kind of global unit that sought to eliminate terrorists anywhere in the world under the command of him as a member of the National Security Council. So basically,

10:53 Remember how we were talking about the 4512-2 directive that says you could assassinate anybody as long as they were a communist and then they added terrorists to that. He wanted to use that authority, have their own little military special forces under JSOC assassination team that they could go send to do anything, anywhere. And because they brainwashed most military people to think that what they're doing is honestly in the best nature.

11:23 or in the best interest of the United States, that they would in fact then do it because they wouldn't be able to say no because there's this not even legal, according to the CIA's own IG and legal opinion document called 4512-2, and it's been modified since then to be called something different, authority to do these assassinations.

11:53 I think they think that you have less resistance when you're dealing with military people than you would dealing with the CIA, although they seem overly interested in killing people too. But obviously, they still kill people for the international syndicate. Not that Rumsfeld's not part of it. Okay, so the JSOC intelligence already had excellent SIGINT.

12:31 information from their own intelligence support activity known as the activity. That was like a nickname for it. What was needed was additional human intelligence and Rumsfeld described that as the Pentagon basically having a near total dependence on CIA for human intelligence.

12:58 So the DIA established an organization called the Strategic Support Branch, SSB, in 2002. That same year, the activity was transferred to JSOC. The SSB would work closely with the activity to provide real-time intelligence to special operation forces. The SSB, Strategic Support Branch, consisted of clandestine teams of case officers, linguists,

13:28 interrogators, and technical specialists who were deployed alongside special operation forces to gather human on the ground. That sounds like deployable gladio units. The SSB units would report directly to the SECDEF and would operate under non-official cover. It sounds exactly like deployable gladio cells.

13:55 At times, this entailed using false names, nationalities, and false documents. It sounds exactly like Gladio. At the time of these developments, General Boykin was serving as the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence. If the SSDI was the most powerful intelligence figure in the Pentagon, the deputy was the number two, and that was Boykin.

14:25 He was tasked with the day-to-day running of the operation and was in charge of controversial projects initiated by Rumsfeld, including the use of enhanced interrogation methods. It was Boykin who played a key role in establishing the SSB, and they were eventually linked to the special interrogation methods, which, weirdly enough, the Gladio units,

14:58 were linked to all of the national police in the overthrown countries that did all of their interrogation torture programs. I'm sure that's just a coincidence. Unsurprisingly, the U.S. intelligence community was highly critical of the reforms initiated by Rumsfeld. One of the most prominent early critics was John Brennan, who strongly objected to special operations personnel carrying out covert operations.

15:28 Outside of the CIA. Yeah, we can do it. You just can't. Rumsfeld was ousted from the SecDef position in 2006 and replaced by Robert Gates in 2007. When Gates, a former director of the CIA and SAIC board member, took over the SecDef's job, he immediately curtailed all of the stuff that Rumsfeld had put in place.

15:58 He hired General James Clapper to help them and put him in as the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence. This spurred Boykin's resignation as the deputy in May of 2007. Not long afterwards, Gate and Clapper ended much of the covert activities being conducted out of that office.

16:26 Eventually, the SSB was dissolved and rolled into DIA's defense clandestine service, while Clapper was serving as the director of national intelligence. It is likely that some aspect of the divide within the American national security apparatus in the Trump era can be traced back to Rumsfeld controversial reforms. On one side, you had Brennan and Clapper, and on the other side, you had people like Boykin and Keith Kellogg.

16:57 Potential relationships between Prince, Flynn, Boykin, and Kellogg are a matter of record that they all work together. In addition to that, Prince and Boykin travel in many of the same circles. Both Prince and the Devos family.

17:21 DeVos family were major backers of the Family Research Council, a Christian charity and activist group linked to James Dobson's focus on the family. Eric Prince interned there while William Boykin was an executive vice president to the organization. During the time that Boykin was the deputy undersecretary of defense, Flynn

17:53 was part of the intelligence staff at JSOC. Some of the methods developed by Flynn, namely his concept, find, fix, finish, exploit, and analyze, appear to have been incorporated in special access programs, which is basically classified programs, known as Copper Green, that was overseen by JSOC. Copper Green fell under the purview

18:24 of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, Stephen Camboni. Reportedly, Boykin, who worked directly under Camboni, was deeply involved in these dealings. As such, it's highly probable both men encountered each other during that time. Over the course of this book, the author has attempted to link different concepts with the shock doctrine.

18:53 which we call strategy of tension, the guerrilla warfare, which we call Operation Gladio, and the overall strategy of tension and tie those actions to private military and private intelligence companies. The thing that all three of these concepts have in common is a brutal application of trauma to reorientate society. In the case of shock doctrine,

19:23 This is rather obvious. You commit a terrorist act, some type of national tragedy, and then you use guerrilla warfare revolutionary tactics to exploit it and then use the strategy of tension components that are a product of both of those things to emphasize the use of

19:53 traumatizing societies to reorientate them to where you want them to go. Guerrilla revolutionary tactics did not confine its efforts to just terror, however, but it also involves psyops that are commonly referred to as action physiologic, some word.

20:21 An objective of this technique was the intoxication of the masses, the poisoning of a collective mind. Clearly, SAIC and other private security concerns were deeply involved in operations leading up to the second Iraq war. The strategy of tension sought to weaken a civilian government via terrorism committed by both sides.

20:50 Saddam Hussein's government. The actions of various private military companies and private intelligence companies used the strategy of tension to seek to weaken and discredit that government. But rather than replacing them with a strong military dictatorship, it is the private security companies themselves who seek to fill the void. And while there may be some type of objective to this

21:22 most actors are likely operating out of purely monetary motivations. This is a far cry from the Italian fascist of the later half century. And I disagree with that assessment completely. They're not operating. The actual private military is operating to make money, but they are a piece of the international syndicates overall.

21:47 And in the case of Iraq, it was to control the oil. And we know what Syria is. It's about a pipeline they want to finish. They want boots on the ground in Syria and they want to be able to control Syria. So there is a known objective in each of these situations. So then he asked, how then were these concepts transmitted to contemporary America?

22:17 To answer that question, we must first look at the Vietnam Air Counterinsurgency effort known as the Phoenix Program. I told you so. Phoenix was not officially launched until 1967, but its origins go back to 1963. During the early years, an infrastructure was built up by the CIA and special forces and certain South Vietnamese agencies.

22:46 When Phoenix was launched in 67, it sought to centralize various counterinsurgency, which were actually insurgency programs, then active in the country. Phoenix used the techniques of terror, assassination, kidnapping, and torture to bring danger and death to the Viet Cong functionaries themselves.

23:12 And that's a quote from a CIA station chief. And you are seeing this play out in Syria right now. The terror, the kidnappings, and the torture that is being displayed right now in Syria is the exact same thing happened in Vietnam. You overthrow the government and then you terrorize the population so that they stop resisting.

23:42 and you can control them. In the end, the CIA officers, Green Berets, and Vietnamese mercenaries, because remember they brought in a bunch of them from the Philippines, were dispatched into the countryside where they sought to kill, capture, and anyone that they deemed as a suspected Viet Cong supporter. Those captured were sent to provincial interrogation centers, which is not unlike our FEMA.

24:13 regional areas where there were brutally tortured, frequently murdered. One military intelligence officer who worked on Phoenix for 18 months noted that not a single Viet Cong suspect ever survived their interrogation. This is hardly surprising considering the interrogation and the techniques included rape, sometimes using eels, snakes, hard objects, electrical shock rendering,

24:46 the wires to genital areas, water treatment, which was waterboarding, the use of dogs to attack the prisoners, and inserting rods into people's ear canals, like literally until they died. Phoenix was every bit as brutal as it sounds. In 1971, future CIA director William Colby acknowledged that since 1968,

25:16 Over 2,000 Viet Cong were murdered using that program. Saigon government attributed more than 41,000, about 41,000, deaths to the program during that same period. By 1972, it was believed that 81,740 Viet Cong had been neutralized by Phoenix, while an additional 26,369 prisoners had been killed.

25:46 In other words, over 100,000 Vietnamese were murdered by Phoenix program without any form or trial to even determine if they had anything to do with Viet Cong. And remember that the people primarily that had been relocated down to the south from the north by psychological operation manipulations were paid to turn in their neighbors.

26:18 While little is, while little acknowledged for decades, compelling evidence has begun to emerge in recent years that the French proponents had a king influence on Phoenix. In 1961, then Colonel Paul Azazeres, who had recently put the guerrilla revolutionary concepts into practice in Algeria, which we've talked about a lot.

26:46 began teaching the Special Warfare Center out Fort Bragg. So hey, hold on a second. So Colonel Paul Azazarias was part of Otto Skorzeny's massacre in Algeria to keep it a slave colony for the French military. The U.S. military hires that man after he slaughters

27:26 Tens of thousands of Algerians against his own country. So keep that in mind. So the French government wants to grant Algeria its freedom. These French forces are opposing the French government. They're treasonous traitors. They go down to Algeria and they fight on behalf of keeping Algeria a French colony and enslaving the Algerians.

27:58 Against their own governments. And then Fort Bragg hires this guy to come teach the people going through Fort Bragg to do it. And then they go to Vietnam and do the same thing. Just want to make sure you guys are tracking. He introduced the students at the school at Fort Bragg, the Special Warfare Center, to the writings of Roger Tranquil.

28:32 T-R-I-N-Q-U-I-E-R, who was another guerrilla revolutionary proponent. Reportedly, the concepts of both men influenced Green Berets that would deploy to Vietnam. Tuan Quyr himself was enlisted to train U.S. commandos during the early 50s while lecturing at Fort Bragg during the early 60s while also working for none other.

29:04 than the Rand Corporation. The Rand Corporation was founded in 1948, obviously, in conjunction with Operation Gladio, and became a quote-unquote think tank. For decades, it had played a leading role in formulating U.S. counterinsurgency practices, which are actual insurgent tactics, and was instrumental in importing this revolutionary

29:35 thought process into the United States. More importantly, many of the CIA officers who would play a crucial role in Phoenix had been influenced by these tactics. There was Evan Parker Jr. who oversaw the Intelligence Coordination and Exploitation Center, which was an operating committee that directly managed Phoenix. So the Intelligence Coordination and Exploitation

30:05 Love that name. Oversaw Phoenix. Parker personally knew the above-mentioned twin queer and many of the leading French personalities that had not only played in Algeria, but in Vietnam when France was ruling it as a colony, too. That's weird. Ozuarez and twin queer would both prove to be influential.

30:36 on Robert Comer, whose nickname was Blowtorch. He's the CIA guy that was in charge of the Civil Operations and Rural Development Support, CORDS, that we talked about in our last book, which was a multi-agency pacification program that gave birth to Phoenix. So CORDS was the precursor to Phoenix. Comer had trained under

31:09 Aziz Aras during the 1960s and was largely influenced by both of their counterinsurgency work. It was the French military officer who had not served in Vietnam that would have the most influence on Phoenix, and his name was David Galula, G-A-L-U-L-A. He was a French

31:38 born Jewish man in Tanzania who became obsessed with Mao's theory during his time serving as the French military attache in China. Now, of course, this would have been on Chiang Kai-shek's side of China, but he was fascinated with how Mao was executing the war. By the time of the Algerian conflict, Galula,

32:07 would be at the forefront of putting the revolutionary concepts into practice. During the mid-60s, he wrote two works. One was called The Pacification of Algeria, and the other one was called Counterinsurgency Warfare Theory and Practice. That would prove to be highly influential in American counterinsurgency circles at Fort Bragg and the CIA.

32:34 At least one CIA officer deeply involved in Phoenix was influenced by this guy. That would be Nelson Brickham, B-R-I-C-K-H-A-M, who is generally credited with creating the infrastructure of Phoenix. Reportedly, Brickham was a staunch believer in Golula's theory. In addition, Brickham had known Comer since the 1950s, and both men had very similar visions.

33:03 of counterinsurgency. Both Galula and Phoenix would prove to be enormously influential on how U.S. operated in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2006, the U.S. Army published a new counterinsurgency field manual, FM 3-24. One of its authors was none other than General David Petraeus, who obviously had been the commander of CENTCOM and the CIA director.

33:35 Petraeus was a major proponent of covert operations by special forces and was an advocate of the strategy of tension concept. It also created immediate tension in the CIA when Petraeus became its director. Indeed, Petraeus, sudden ouster of the CIA after a little over a year,

34:05 was linked to a turf war between JSOC and the CIA, which traces back to Rumsfeld reform of the national security apparatus. Petraeus was replaced by none other than John Brennan. Now, what you also have to understand, just because they set up Petraeus doesn't mean that Petraeus is necessarily a good guy, and I'm not saying he's a bad guy. What I am saying is that,

34:35 Everything about the Petraeus scandal of him supposedly having an affair with the author of the book that was being done. Everything about that story has everything. It looks exactly like the Monica Lewinsky story. Exactly like it. And so you have to basically take, was she a honeypot? 1000%.

35:08 I'm not justifying what he did, but it was so obvious that he was set up at the time that was happening. And this gives you context on why it may have happened, which I found really interesting. As for Galula, the authors of the original Field Manual 324 noted, quote, of the many books that were influential in the writing of Field Manual 324,

35:37 perhaps none other than David Golula's counterinsurgency warfare, unquote. So they're basically saying the entire thing is based on this guy's work. The references to his work and French counterinsurgency gurus in the document have proved to be highly controversial, which led them to being totally scrubbed in a later edition. Not that anything else was changed. They just didn't want his name associated with it because, you know,

36:07 But being the guy that facilitated the Otto Skorzeny assassination program in both Algeria and in Vietnam probably isn't a good thing. But they bragged about it because they thought it was a good thing. The original version constituted a striking admission indicating that Petraeus himself had been very much influenced by those two men.

36:40 Given that Petraeus is possibly the most prestigious military officer of his era, this strongly indicates that the revolutionary concepts were still warmly embraced within the inner circle that he inhabited. That brings us back to the Phoenix program. You can see the similarities between the Phoenix program and the use of joint.

37:09 basically JSOC, beginning back at the Bush Jr.'s presidency. In both cases, a killer capture program was in effect, while detainees then being subjected to enhanced interrogation, which basically was very similar to the Phoenix program to include the sexual humiliation and all that other stuff that they got caught doing in Iraq. Both effectively sought to bring the war to their adversaries.

37:40 whether it was Al Qaeda or Viet Cong. But unlike the Phoenix program, which restricted to Vietnam and the surrounding areas like Cambodia and Laos, JSOC was global. They had the ability to track their targets down all over the world. The Phoenix program and JSOC's missions have not been lost on policymakers either.

38:12 General Boykin, a key architect of this, even acknowledged that the parallels to Phoenix were not lost on him. When asked about the similarities, he responded, quote, I think we're running that kind of program. We're going after these people. Killing or capturing these people is a legitimate mission for the department. I think we're doing what the Phoenix program was designed to do without all of the secrecy, unquote. Where else?

38:41 Elsewhere, the Phoenix program had been described as the grandfather of the JSOC approach to war, and Boykin just so happened to be the man Rumsfeld placed in charge of hunting down high-value targets. As such, this Phoenix program is much like the Boykin legacy. Going forward, it may not be JSOC leading the Phoenix program.

39:05 but private contractors. During an interview in July 2016, Eric Prince told future White House chief strategist Steve Bannon that Trump's administration should recreate the Phoenix program, but with private contractors. Such a program would kill or capture Islamic terrorists, including billionaire class of Gulf State and beyond, that enables them. You know, your own private assassination teams.

39:32 Over the last three years, new details have emerged concerning Prince's vision. As a means of countering Trump's deep state enemies in the intelligence community, Prince proposed a global private spy and covert operations network that reported directly to the White House. Part of these efforts would include a propaganda campaign in the Middle East and Europe, as well as a new rendition program.

39:59 It would also echo cornerstones of mass propaganda targeting groups and individuals and thought reform. While there have yet to be any indications that Prince's proposal includes torture, such a prospect would be consistent with the Phoenix program. These reports are being kept with allegations.

40:22 are in keeping with allegations that Trump has been planning an overhaul of the intelligence community. And I don't believe that's true. They're not in keeping. Those are legitimate concerns based on past practices. But Trump's overhauling the intelligence community are not necessarily the embracing of any of that. And there's no correlation between the two that I've seen thus far.

40:53 With the erosion of the national state in the 21st century and the world appears to be moving towards basically a one world government, there is a destabilization basically happening. In the aftermath of the Cold War, nation states have become increasingly fragile and the anarchy and disorder the norm for much of the developing world.

41:22 Increasingly, nation states are being superseded by a network of transnational organizations like the UN, IMF, World Bank, blah, blah, blah. NGOs are leading in that area. The multinational corporations are involved in this as well. Early in this book, the case of the executive outcome was considered.

41:49 It is likely that the executive outcome was under the control of the Branch Heritage Group, a holding company that specialized in natural resources in the developing world. Indeed, executive outcomes may have been the vehicle in which Branch Heritage procured concessions for oil and minerals in the continent of Africa, which it was. The executive outcome branch.

42:21 Heritage model appears to be one increasingly embraced by multinationals. As was noted, major private militaries such as Constellas and DynCorp are now controlled by private equity firms like Apollo Management and Cerberus Capital. So basically, it looks like we're going back.

42:49 to the model that we started with, where you have the East and West Indies companies with their own private armies and their own private intelligence. That's kind of, we're going back to that model. That's what it looks like. That's what they intended. As we have seen over the course of this dialogue, they've been engaging in campaigns of terror designed to create destabilization globally.

43:18 to create a greater demand for the private military and the private intelligence companies. Techniques such as the shock doctrine and strategy of tension are being employed to do it. Examples like SAIC indicate this has not always been the case, and it is likely going forward that more such operations will be waged domestically.

43:45 as private military and private intelligence battle for greater control of the defense budgets. In this context, Russiagate may be seen as an opening salvo on domestic operations. As was noted earlier, many of the allegations concerning Trump-Russia collusion originated from a private intelligence company known as Fusion GPS.

44:10 and was later pimped by the U.S. intelligence official John Brennan and James Clapper, both of whom have ties to private security rackets. On the other hand, Trump's backer, Eric Prince and Steven Feinberg, may be creating infrastructure for a private Phoenix program that the author thinks would be loyal to Trump. But what they could be doing, in effect, is countering.

44:39 what they know already exists to undo it all. Just throwing that out there. Could some type of Phoenix program be initiated in the US by various private military and intelligence? I think it already is. And I don't think it's being done by them. I think that's the whole point of 9-11 was to create FEMA and have them set up all of those FEMA camps. Such a notion would have been unthinkable before 9-11.

45:10 But the erosion of our rights and the increased reliance on private military and intelligence companies increase that risk exponentially. What's more, in 2016, there has been.

45:30 what looks like early stages of a private Phoenix program being deployed in the United States. During that year, the private military company TigerSwan was hired by a natural gas company called Energy Transfer Partners to counter activists protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline. TigerSwan had been established during the prior decade by Colonel

45:56 James Reese, a former operator of the Delta Force, one of the key components of JSOC. TigerSwan soon deployed military-style counterinsurgency techniques to the protesters that included keeping lists of activists, tracking them, infiltrating spies into their camps, and general harassment. TigerSwan documents referred to the protesters as ideologically driven insurgencies.

46:25 with a strong religious component that the company likened to a jihadist insurgency model. Even after protesters dispersed, TigerSwan continued to track them. Clearly, this raises some truly disturbing prospects, most notably the prospects of the revolutionary guerrilla warfare tactics.

46:52 That had been used in Afghanistan and Iraq and was now being used inside the United States by people who had been in the military and trained to do this with the CIA, who get out and form their own private military and intelligence companies. The global war on terror had created a revival for these guerrilla revolutionary tactics.

47:20 Virtually every major officer who revolted against Charles de Gaulle back in the day in the 60s, which is where these guys who wrote this doctrine came from, later joined the OAS, which was Otto Skorzeny's Operation Gladio people. And OAS is the people that came into Dallas on November 22nd, 1963. They attempted to apply counterinsurgency methods.

47:50 that they had developed in Algeria and unleashed their own domestic terror by trying to assassinate Charles de Gaulle over 20 times. This is especially relevant in contemporary America, especially since you just had two people try to assassinate President Trump, one of which spent a lot of time in Ukraine.

48:18 The growing divide since Bush Jr.'s years with the special operators and intelligence officers linked to covert operations on one hand and the intelligence community and the Pentagon hierarchy on another gives a kind of like a history lesson, if you will, back to the days of what was going on in France when

48:45 NATO was set up there and they eventually move on to try to assassinate Charles de Gaulle and NATO gets kicked out of Paris. So when the revolt against de Gaulle broke out, it was spearheaded by PSYOPs officers and French paratroopers from the 11th Shock Group and many within the Foreign Legion.

49:15 Something similar appears to be happening in the United States, but it is increasingly being driven by private entities rather than official national security apparatus. I disagree with that. We saw McMaster, Jones and many of the military officers turn against Trump. So I think it's exactly the same thing.

49:39 Many private actors appear to be attempting to replace the national security apparatus with a private version of that. This raises disturbing aspects of reliving a Phoenix program that would be waged domestically, which would surely make the 2001 anthrax attacks look like child's play, which, you know, you could argue COVID did exactly that.

50:06 In 1961, the revolt of the revolutionary advocates was beaten back and ultimately destroyed by a strong response by the government. They just operated outside of France. They joined the Gladio forces under Otto Skorzeny in Spain and kept right on killing people.

50:31 With 70% of the present U.S. intelligence budget being outsourced and an increasingly reliance on private military, the elite special operation forces becomes extremely vulnerable. Indeed, possibly the most disturbing possibility of recent developments of the U.S. deep state is that there is no opposing sides.

51:01 The efforts of Brennan and Clapper to launch Russiagate have proven to be disastrous and discrediting to the U.S. intelligence community the same way that the Iraq weapons of mass destruction debacle did decades ago. But it is a long game to rationalize the reforms that...

51:27 Should be happening and cannot happen if you just outsource everything to privatization. Then he asked, will the disastrous Russiagate, which further radicalized people in the United States, create a greater need for counterinsurgency operations, such as those employed by the Tiger Swan against the pipeline protesters?

51:55 And will those counterinsurgency operations lead us to a very similar Americanized version of the Phoenix program? I have no doubt that's exactly where they were going with the whole thing. So he has a little bit about the radio frequency ID chips and, you know, basically it being another way of tracking.

52:28 people. And he goes on to say that he does believe that there is an ominous plan to use them for that in more of a modern day Phoenix program. But he goes, he also goes on to say in the worst case scenario, most conspiracy theories have us corralled into a FEMA camp Holocaust.

52:57 And that is where things get muddled. If we are chipped, then why imprison us? The powers that be don't need domestic human labor like the Nazi concentration camps, not when your cell phone is already made in China. And there are ways of manipulating your phone to basically track you.

53:26 Between cheap labor and robotic manufacturing and war making, there's much less for slaves to do. Corporate and military contractors and weapon manufacturers still need to rake in tax dollars. Dystopian films have depicted future humans as subjects of a draconian rule. We are slaves working for mining colonies on meteors, moons, and planets. Keep in mind with conditioning.

53:56 All a brave new world and running man, we can't escape to the privileged areas, yet to be free or not lacks distinction in a future if we're all zombies. And he talks a little bit about DARPA and their robot making, and it says the release of the Predator drone was delayed over concerns by other countries about its pervasive capabilities.

54:27 drone aircraft are referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles. The government's acronym obsession distanced the weapons of mass destruction from a stigma of a term that drone uses. They would not want to equate their weaponized toy with a mindless drone, one malfunction away from going on a rampage in a major city.

54:54 The fact that drones in uniform guide rockets the size of school buses into neighborhoods where civilian casualties outnumber insurgents by 10 to 1 maybe should stick with a more fitting term called drone weapons. The more infamous UAV is the Predator drone, named to make civilian populations under its watchful eye very nervous. The spokesman for these weapons claimed that they make

55:23 elimination of high value targets easy and safer. Safer for who? The concept similar to the belief that torture can extract valid information is demonstrably false. Currently, there is a disillusionment with the whole idea of space travel. NASA is going through a transition again. Society still supports violence and empire building. Well,

55:52 Not all of us. And we seem to be lost in a fog, perpetrated by the CIA-controlled media. Obviously, this may be our last chance to turn this vehicle around. He uses the word mirage, where I use the word hologram, and basically says, if you look at all of the modern-day films, like The Matrix, Nirvana,

56:20 gamer, surrogate, strange days, blah, blah, blah. They depict a future where reality becomes so mundane and unlivable that society turns to an entirely virtual world in which anyone can escape to the virtual world. But again, with the movies basically telling you the punchline up front, I think that's where we're already at.

56:50 We have been living in a virtual world already. All of us want to escape that and live in the real world based on truth. And that basically does it for that book. So definitely wanted to get the book done. So thanks for sticking with us. And sorry about the problems on X.

57:20 I did want to talk a little bit about that because of the now I've made a couple of posts about it. And I think it's very important to make this distinction. Thanks to Elon owning X, Elon can come out and say that the attack on X was traced back to Ukraine. In the past, the way that would have been couched by the CIA, which they can't do anymore.

57:51 because of Elon being in the picture, is it would have been attributed to Russian speaking people leaving in the minds of Americans that Russia had cyber attacked us. When in fact, most of the people in Ukraine speak Russian because it used to be part of the Soviet Union. And they can get away with saying Russian speaking.

58:19 when in fact it has nothing to do with Russia at all. And they did that when they were talking about terrorists that, excuse me, that they were grooming in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. They were all Russian speaking, even though they were not Russian at all. They were former Soviet Union colonies that had been recruited heavily for that exact reason by the CIA to set up

58:49 that you can use for many different reasons. They're Muslim, so you can say they're jihadi and they're ISIS and they're Al-Qaeda and they're all of this. And then you can also say that they're Russian speaking so that you can blame Russia. That's kind of the gift that keeps giving. And the fact that you have all of these dumbasses on X going around talking about

59:18 Why is everybody beating up on Israel when you've got all of these radical Islamic terrorists out there that people are given a free pass? Every single, and I've seen multiple big accounts say this, no 100% they're compromised. 100% compromised. Anybody that is telling you that

59:47 Israel is 100% blameless, is lying to you. And anyone who tells you that every problem in the world is a result of a radical Islamic terrorist is lying to you as well. There is no such thing as a radical Islamic terrorist without NATO and the CIA and MI6 and Mossad.

1:00:18 bnd because they created them they fund them they train them and they deploy them and they have this entire time so those accounts my expectation y'all's homework is take them to task tell them they're full of shit because they are um all right let's look cia um has the has the

1:00:53 To hide from Ethernet traces. So I think what you're trying to say is they have the ability. The CIA has the ability when they cyber attack something to attribute to whoever they want the hack. So if they are hacking something themselves, the CIA from Langley.

1:01:20 They can actually, and this came out in congressional hearings, they can actually leave the footprints of it being Ukraine or of it being Iran or whoever they want to blame today. That is absolutely true. Melania is Russian speaking. Don't overlook General Flynn's warning to Elon. Could have been in-house.

1:01:52 That is true. Enlightening conclusion to the book. Phoenix had extensive knowledge of the sky. Ukraine being the originating point only solidifies my CIA accusation. Yeah, because I mean, we have such a large contingent of CIA in Ukraine at this particular point saying that it's Ukraine.

1:02:22 doesn't give the CIA a pass because the CIA is in Ukraine. Yeah, the fusion centers. Thank you, Major. Major Sarge is always there for me. The fusion centers is the cords equivalent of the Phoenix program. Absolutely. Let's see. Makes connections between 9-11.

1:02:56 FEMA and the Patriot Act. They definitely are all related. Last chapter. Yep. All right. So that kind of gets us all up to date on. Don't forget to hit the thumbs up. If you guys are on Rumble, please follow our channel and give us a thumbs up. Those are the two requirements for your homework.

1:03:25 that I ask each and every one of you do every day because it definitely helps the number algorithms at Rumble. And we need all the help we can get because they definitely are trying to mess with us. So I appreciate that a lot. I want to, this book is,

1:03:58 It's a short book, so I'm going to do it next. And this is the book, Drugs, Oil and War by Peter Del Scott. It's a great book. It basically brings full circle the Operation Gladio kind of wagon wheel concept that I came up with a long time ago. And it does it in a way of moving across.

1:04:28 Afghanistan, Colombia, and Vietnam and shows you how there are very similar tactics used in each one of those. So I thought it would be very interesting just to do an overview so you can see the patterns. And once you understand this, you will see the pattern that happened in Syria. And you know, not that we don't know already, but...

1:04:55 Again, it allows you to see what's happening in real time by going back and looking at these patterns. So that's the book that we're going to do next. And I hope you guys stick with us in doing that. And I hope they get X fixed because I like talking to you guys at the end of the show. You guys' inside questions and everything else is vital to this whole process.

1:05:23 I really, really, really like being on X for that reason. All right. Let's see. Interesting about the Phoenix program when you find out what the Phoenix is and why they replaced the Phoenix on the dollar bill. So, yeah, the Phoenix obviously is kind of what we're watching happen in real time here with the burning down to build back, right? Build back better.

1:05:54 And keep in mind, in this life cycle fulfillment, all of these people own insurance companies. And so they burn everything down and use the things in multiple different ways. A lot of these people have bought places in there. They use insurance fraud as one of the ways that they make money.

1:06:24 buy property in the aftermath after, like in the case with FEMA, they were rigging how much people were able to get through that process. And they would condemn their house to the point where insurance isn't going to be able to be enough to replace it. Then they would come in on a fire cell and buy the property up so they could build back better.

1:06:47 whether it was the mining in North Carolina, the real estate out in California, now in the Hamptons, you just see it happening over and over again. So that is very, very true. Okay, so your coffee cups. All right, Megersarge, love it. All right, here's the coffee cups. They're on the website now, Operation Gladio, both sides.

1:07:17 Thank you for the reminder. My daughter will love you. And so anyway, buy your coffee cups. They're here. I have boxes of them. And we need to get them out in people's hands. Take them to work. Get people to ask you what Operation Gladio is. And Bridget, if you would not mind taking the screenshot of my card.

1:07:45 We have, Bridget did an excellent job of our business card and so that people can just, whatever that UPC code or whatever the little code is that you can like take a picture of and it takes you to a link so that you guys can have those in your wallet or whatever.

1:08:11 Anybody that buys a coffee mug, we're going to put one of those cards in so you could take it to work and have people just scan it. You want to know what Operation Gladio is? Here, scan this and go look. It'll make it easier for everybody. All right. Take care, everybody. And we will be back. QR codes, Donnie Vision. Love you. Thank you. And we will start our new book tomorrow. Thanks for being here. Take care.
