0:00 Hello, hello, hello. Happy Friday, everybody. So you dodged a bullet, Bridget? Tornado cleared. This is Tornado Central here. It's all clear. It went just about 20 miles from us. And probably not even that far, really. And what we got is a little bit of, a whole lot of rain and a whole lot of wind. Well, I'm glad you are safe. Amen.

0:38 And it's funny, I was going to plant my cantaloupes today and ran out of time. And now I'm really glad I didn't because they would have gotten deluged. Yeah, that could be a good thing or a bad thing. They could have been in the next county or they could have just gotten a good wetting. All right. So I have decided we're going to go ahead and start our next book.

1:12 And the name of the book is The Splendid Blonde Beast. And the subtitle is Money, Law, and Genocide in the 20th Century. It's a very interesting book. It puts into context a lot of things that I had questions about.

1:43 on the backstories of much of what happened in World War II. And that's the reason why I think since Operation Gladio was spawned from World War II as we know it today, I thought it would be very interesting, especially from the perspective of when did the Cold War really start? I'm also in the middle of a book about Frank Wisner.

2:13 And it's very clear the Cold War started well before the end of World War II. And his time in Germany as part of the OSS gives you a clear behind-the-scenes look at how that happened.

2:38 do that whole book as a book review. I probably will do kind of like an overview of it. But because it gets monotonous, the agenda of the author of the book is that later on, you know, Frank Wisner of the OSS, then he was put in charge of the Office of Policy Coordination, which

3:07 Although it sat initially in the CIA, it actually reported to the State Department. And we talked a lot about that. And then it was chopped over to the CIA once Dulles got there. But it was the covert arms of the CIA. And I find it really interesting that post-World War II, that it was tethered to the State Department doing covert ops.

3:33 But they actually sat with the CIA because the State Department didn't want to be seen as owning a covert element, although they did. And one of the fascinating things that I found out about Frank Wisner, guess where he's from? Waco? No. That's a good guess. He's from Laurel, Mississippi.

4:05 Where Ben and Erin do their HGTV show. Oh, that's crazy. They're originally from her family. Hold on. His mom's family was originally lumber barons in the Midwest. Sold to railroads, very wealthy. And his dad.

4:35 marries her and gets into that business and they move their lumber business to Laurel. And I've been to Laurel. I was there two years ago when we went on our big out west trip. And we stayed there for about four days and walked through a bunch of the big old houses.

5:02 I don't know if it was the one he was raised in because I would have assumed that they would have written that on like the plaque, but we went in a few of them. We went down the street because the street that he grew up on is all of the old Southern big, like Victorian mansions. And of course they were very, very well off. So yeah, it's, it's funny. And the,

5:29 They talk about in the book how the avenue was named after Fifth Avenue in New York. And if you look at the Laurel, Mississippi map, you're going to see Fifth Avenue West and Fifth Avenue North. They actually had two of them. They were so fascinated with Fifth Avenue. And other than the downtown part that's called Fifth Avenue, it's actually called Sawmill Road.

5:58 Because it went out to the big sawmill that the Wisner family owned. So crazy, crazy. But anyway, this book led me to buy that Frank Wisner book because I was hoping it had more details, which of course it did. But the author, you know, Frank Wisner was eventually.

6:29 hospitalized in a mental institution because he quote unquote went crazy. And the problem with the book is about at the end of every chapter, and there's great details in the book, but at the end of every chapter, the author tries to somehow link some piece of Wisner's work with some made up element.

6:58 That would have been an indication that he was going insane. So it's almost like a book that was written to say, here's all the things he did, but they're okay because he really was a little off his rocker. And, you know, I can make the argument that anybody that did what he did would have to be off their rocker.

7:20 It gets monotonous after a while listening to him because he's not a psychologist, but he's psychoanalyzing characteristics of Wisner because he was a freak and doing all kinds of evil shit as if it somehow is explainable away because he eventually goes crazy. And that was just an early indication that he was going crazy. So that part of it.

7:48 I don't care for it all, obviously. But anyway, back to our current book, The Splendid Blonde Beast. This book, just as an overview, it's going to take us through the Turkey-Armenian genocide. And there's a reason why they do that. That's in association with World War II.

8:15 doesn't really have anything to do with our investigation of World War II and after as it relates to Operation Gladio, except the author makes the argument that the Armenian genocide conducted by Turkey was almost like a dry run for Hitler. And so I want to present that as

8:43 as the author did. So you can decide for yourself if that is in fact true and how, because again, we're all about patterns. And you have today, because obviously all of this stuff carries through to today. This World War I, the Turkish-Armenian genocide didn't stop there, obviously. Hitler conducted his own genocide.

9:14 And there was genocide after genocide after that, as it relates to destabilization and overthrows of governments. And you have today, basically, like literally today, Africa, South Africa announcing that they're basically going to genocide anybody that's white in that country.

9:38 And so as long as those things go on, it's important to understand kind of the and not that they started with World War One either. Obviously, you can go back in time hundreds, if not thousands of years, and there's genocide. So I just want to present the.

9:59 argument that the author does because i considered kind of just skipping over that and getting to the world war ii part because that's the part that i found the most fascinating but it wouldn't do the book any justice so um it starts off talking about a guy by the name of friedrich nitsky who was called the aristocratic um who called the aristocratic

10:29 predators who write society's laws, the splendid blonde beast, which is where the name of the book obviously comes from. Precisely because they so often behave as though they're beyond the reach of elementary mortality. And he goes on to say that the exercise of power at the expense of others is basically the foundation for that.

10:55 When dealing with ordinary people, he said, they revert to the innocent of wild animals. We can imagine them returning from an orgy of murder, arson, rape, torture, jubilant and at peace with themselves as though they had committed a fraternity prank. And he's not wrong about that. Their brutality, according to them, is a display of true courage.

11:21 And they are the ones that create the foundation of the social order that follows. Today, and let me tell you when this book was written so that you can put it into context. It was written in 1993. He says,

11:52 Genocide has been a basic mechanism of empire and the nation state since its inception and remains widely practiced in advanced and civilized areas. Most genocides in this century have been perpetrated by nation states upon ethnic minorities living within the state's own borders. Most of the victims have been children. They have gotten away with what they did.

12:21 Most have succeeded in keeping the wealth that they loot from their victims, and they never face trial. Genocide is difficult to eradicate because it's usually tolerated, at least by those who benefit from it. The social mechanisms of genocide often encourage tactic international cooperation in the escape from justice by those who perpetrate the crime. And here, this is a very important point.

12:49 Because what you're going to find described in here is the purposeful sabotaging by the United States of Nuremberg. And that's the part that fascinated me the most. But they did the same thing with the Armenian genocide. Whoever it is that collectively does this, the other nation states that should hold.

13:19 the one that does it accountable don't because they're going to do it as well. So they are not interested in any accountability at all. And we see that play out in the United States today, which is why, you know, for the last hundred years, there's been little to no accountability, no matter how grotesque the actions of our government is. So he says that the

13:44 Armenian genocide of 1915 through 18 and Hitler's Holocaust of Jews, as well as the U.S. government's response to these tragedies, will be looked at in this book. And he says that genocidal societies usually go through an evolution during which the different levels of society literally learn how to carry out group murder.

14:11 And you can look at that almost like a strategy of tensions. In the book, The Roots of Evil, Straub contends that genocidal atrocities most often take place in countries under great political, economic, and military stress. And that's true. That is the strategy of tension. They are led by authoritarian parties that wield great power, yet...

14:41 to be insecure in their rule, which is why they attack these people. They terrorize them in order to ensure compliance of the rest of the people. They create unity among the in-group members through dehumanizing the non-in-group.

15:07 Genocidal societies also show a mark of tendency towards what psychologists call just world thinking. Victims are believed to have brought their suffering upon themselves, and thus they deserve to get what they get.

15:25 Perpetrators need mass mobilization to actually implement their agenda. For example, the rear spearheads of genocide in Germany, the Nazi Party, the SS, and similar groups, by themselves lacked the resources to disenfranchise and eventually murder millions of Jewish people. They succeeded in unleashing the Holocaust, however, by harnessing many of the otherwise ordinary elements of German life, commerce, the courts, universities, religion.

15:55 routine government administration, and so on. And again, you see the parallels to what's going on in America today. Not surprisingly, many of the leaders of these ordinary institutions were the existing notables in German society. The Nazi genocide probably would not have been possible without the active or tacit

16:24 cooperation of many collaborators who did not consider themselves Nazis. Yet nonetheless, they cooperated in mass murder. Put bluntly, the Nazis succeeded in genocide in part through offering bystanders money, property, status, and other rewards for their standing by. The actions of Nazi Germany's business elite illustrate how this works. Prior to 1933, German business leaders did not show

16:53 a marked impulse towards genocide. However, there was an introduction of incentives to encourage the persecution of undesirables. New Aryanization laws created a profitable business for banks, corporations, and merchants willing to enforce Nazi racial preferences.

17:24 Tens of thousands of Germans seized business or real estate that had previously been owned by Jewish owners, paying a fraction of what the property's true value was or drove Jewish competitors out of business. Jewish wealth and later blood provided an essential lubricant for the rules of Germany's mass murder.

17:52 By 1944 and 45, leaders of major German companies such as automaker Daimler-Benz, Mercedes-Benz, electrical manufacturer AGE and Siemens, or Simon, however you say that, and most of Germany's large mining, steelmaking, chemical, and construction companies found themselves deeply compromised by their exploitation of concentration camp labor.

18:22 theft, and in some cases, complicity with mass murder. They committed these crimes not so much out of an ideological conviction, but more often as a means of preserving their influence within the German economy and society. A somewhat similar pattern of rewards for those who cooperated in persecution can be seen in other genocides. During the Turkish genocide of Armenians,

18:52 Idihad government extended economic incentives to Turks willing to participate in the deportation and murder of Armenians. During the 19th century, the U.S. government offered bounties for murdering Native Americans and perhaps more fundamentally provided free farmland and other business opportunities to settlers willing to encroach on what had prior been.

19:21 identified as Native American territories. A similar process continues today in Central and South America. Thus, the genocidal situations of mass violence can become entwined in the very institutions that give society coherency. This has important implications for how perpetrators and their collaborators are treated once the killing is over.

19:48 By the time the genocide has ended, it is usually clear that the ordinary integrative institutions of society remained centers of power during the killing and shared responsibilities for it. Those institutions held on to some measure of authority in the wake of any economic or political crisis of legitimacy that was created by their actions. So even if you bring down

20:20 the military regime. In the cases of Turkey and Nazi Germany, the residual power of the institutions means that they are likely to remain. They ally themselves with the old power centers, but then are free to ally themselves with the new ones when they come around. And of course, this is complicated by the fact that

20:47 The U.S. businesses, for the most part, were largely in bed with these businesses in Germany. And we see that play out with Sullivan and Cromwell, John Foster Dulles, Alan Dulles, and we'll see Rockefeller and all of those guys. So they had no interest in holding any of those businesses accountable because it would have blown back on them.

21:14 During the two genocides examined in this book, international law obstructed bystanders from rescuing victims of mass crimes and in some cases from punishing the perpetrators. The biases in international law that favor the powerful and prosperous also tend to protect and encourage the prosecutors. This institutionalized form of law with which it

21:44 It coexists with genocide. The losers in this vicious cycle were the ordinary people, children, and rebels who fought against it. The body of war crimes, in effect, during those years, were written mainly by the United States and the major powers in Europe to favor themselves and to stigmatize rebellions by indigenous people or colonial countries.

22:14 Now, of course, we know that because we've researched so many of the CIA's activities in the immediate aftermath of World War II, like in Iran and Guatemala. And all of the international laws were developed so that the indigenous people fighting back against this invasion.

22:38 The overthrow of their governments, the destabilizing of their country was never going to be written to hold the U.S. and the people doing it accountable. So it says these precedents are often hard to overcome. The object and method of war would seem at first glance to be the destruction of other societies through murder, pillage and other means at hand.

23:05 War consists largely of acts that would be criminal if performed in a time of peace. Killings, woundings, kidnapping, destroying and carrying off people's property, said Telford Taylor, the U.S. prosecutor at the second round of Nuremberg trials. Often such conduct is not regarded as criminal if it takes place in the course of war, Taylor continued, because the state of war lays a blanket of immunity over the warriors.

23:34 But under international treaties, this immunity for warriors is not absolute. Its boundaries are marked by what are known as laws of war. The widely accepted Hague Convention of War Crimes and the Geneva Convention on Treatment of Prisoners of War set limits on conduct of commanders and soldiers. Legally speaking, enemy soldiers who surrender must not be killed and are to be taken prisoner.

24:03 and towns must not be pillaged, nor undefended places bombed. Poisoned weapons and other arms calculated to cause unnecessary suffering are forbidden. When an army occupies enemy territory, it must endeavor to restore public order and respect family honors and rights, the lives of persons and private property, as well as religious convictions and practices. Those are supposedly the rules.

24:34 Insurgents who resist official armies were only rarely protected by these treaties. In fact, they were often considered to have committed a war crime when they rebelled against the prevailing authorities. Allied forces, meanwhile, took advantage of a similar loophole to authorize bombing campaigns against German cities that even FDR had condemned as a war crime.

25:02 as recently as 1939. Thus, international law typically provided protection for the powerful and the ruthless rather than their victims. The fact that there's no clear international ban against crimes against humanity existed prior to 1945, due in large part to the U.S. opposition to it. Unlike war crimes, crimes against humanity are usually something a government does to its own people.

25:32 such as a genocide, slavery, or other forms of mass violence against civilians. Although such crimes were defined in detail in international military tribunals at Nuremberg and later in the UN, even today they remain a relatively new concept in international law. It makes them considerably harder to prosecute than war crimes, narrowly defined in part because criminal

26:00 nation states are unlikely to prosecute themselves and because international diplomatic practice, particularly by the U.S., has blocked the creation of an international criminal court that would have jurisdiction to try perpetrators of these atrocities. Even in the most horrific cases of human rights abuses, they were protected. And specifically, as we will find out, they're talking about there was a

26:29 group think in Washington, D.C., that during the course of the war, if you're, let's just say, country A is at war with country B, and country B, during the war, is killing a whole bunch of their own people. And the group think in Washington, D.C., is that whoever was doing that killing could not be taken to any

27:00 international court at all even though it was done at the time of the war and um is a crime against humanity because it was genocide and they didn't just leave it there they then their group think in the state department was they took it a step further if country b doing the genocide of their own people invade country c and they start

27:32 executing the same type of people in country C that they were executing in their own country, because they now have possession of country C, they can't be held accountable because those people are now their people. That was the logic in Washington, D.C. So as long as you could conquer territory, you were free to continue

28:00 genociding entire groups of people, even in the new countries, because now internationally they considered them your country. So I found that completely fascinating. And we'll get into name and names later in the book. There's a footnote here that says war crimes are atrocities and offenses.

28:32 constituting violations of law or customs of war, such as murder or ill treatment of prisoners, war plunder, wanton destruction or devastation that is not justified by military necessity. Now, what you will find is we were engaged in a lot of that as well, as far as some of the indiscriminate bombing that we did in World War II, which is why no one wanted to touch it afterwards.

29:00 That footnote goes on to say, finally, crimes against peace are defined as initiation of invasions of other countries and wars of aggression in violation of international law and treaties, including planning such wars. And that clearly applies to Operation Gladio, because they're talking about wars of aggression that violate international law.

29:29 It violates international law to overthrow another country. So the U.S. didn't want to have anything to do with any of this. And you will see the monumental roadblocks put in place as a result of that. Okay. Then he says there were at least four legitimate concerns raised when authors identify common elements about the Holocaust and other crimes. First,

30:00 The most basic of these concerns is that the Holocaust may be denigrated, cheapened or exploited by comparison to other events. Like this guy is going to compare it to the Armenian genocide. The second concern is that the events of the Holocaust were factually so different from the other events. And third, that there's a belief of the positivist scientific method used by most.

30:30 historians, and authors is not adequate for understanding the Holocaust. And fourth, some people are convinced on religious and philosophical grounds that the Holocaust was unique. But to claim that a study of the Holocaust must be separate from all other inquiries romanticizes evil and gives it a mystic proportion.

30:58 Only by understanding the roots of evil do we gain the possibility of shaping the future so that it won't happen again. He goes on to say the Turkish murders of Armenians and the Nazi Holocaust are more deeply linked than simply being two examples of genocide. The international failure to halt the Armenian genocide or to bring its perpetrators to justice was in part a product.

31:25 of the then existing structure of international law and international relations. That failure was inevitable, but it was a certain terrible sense of logic that resulted in the mass murder committed within the context of international law as it stood then. Hitler repeating this type of race genocide was something that could have been predicted because you didn't hold the other people accountable.

31:57 Meanwhile, reasons of state that had obstructed international efforts to rescue Armenians carried through to World War II, largely intact, so that by the 1940s, the Allies' refusal to rescue Jewish people also seemed to key U.S. officials of the day to be reasonable and appropriate, even in the situation where rescue would have been relatively simple and inexpensive.

32:24 The U.S. and other European powers intentionally frustrated the immediate demands for justice for the victims of World War I, as the U.S. Secretary of State, Robert Lansing, and who was Robert Lansing? Robert Lansing is the uncle of Alan Dulles and John Foster Dulles. Keep that in mind. In the hope of reestablishing a world order that would favor them in the aftermath of the war.

32:52 We don't want to piss off Turkey, so screw the fact that they assassinated millions of people. It'll be better for us if we just ignore that. During the 1920s, this shaky new order gave birth to bankers, international lawyers, and diplomats who specialized in the complex task of U.S.-European trade, investment, and geopolitics.

33:22 For the simplicity sake of this book, we focus on U.S. and German relationships, though of course the U.S. established substantial new economic and political ties with every European country and every Asian country, including Japan. Hitler's seizure of power in Germany presented the U.S. and German business groups with complex opportunities and challenges.

33:47 The Nazi-sponsored Aryanization campaigns, clandestine rearmament efforts, industrial bailouts, and public works programs created a gold rush for businesses favored by the Nazi government. The chauvinistic Nazis tended to view U.S.-based multinational

34:06 with suspicion, but encouraged them to invest in Germany when it seemed in their best interest to do so. Soon, U.S. corporate investment was expanding more rapidly in Hitler's Germany than in any other country in Europe. During World War II, the structure of international law established in the wake of World War I not only obstructed efforts to rescue European Jews, but it also became a tool in the hands of

34:35 Washington and London, who favored making a separate peace with the Nazis at the expense of the Soviet Union. They contended that Hitler's crimes inside Axis territory was legal, technically speaking, and that Hitler himself was immune from prosecution because of his status as a head of state. The Allies should avoid making too much of the issue of Nazi war crimes, argued the British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden and the U.S. State Department Chief Legal Advisor

35:05 Green Hackworth. By the time we're done with this book, you guys are going to hate Green Hackworth. He is an asshole. Because doing so would undermine political initiatives to settle the war through negotiations. In addition, most atrocities would be impossible to prosecute. Tragically, these same factions often controlled the U.S. State Department's day-to-day implementation of the immigration

35:34 and refugee process as well. Meanwhile, much of the economic, political, and social elite in Germany and Vichy France and most of the Nazi-occupied territories cooperated with Nazis throughout their rule, only to lose confidence in Hitler's government very late in the game. De Gaulle's France and the Soviet Union and some U.S. leading favored harsher treatment of these corporate collaborators after the war

36:05 particularly in Germany, the U.S. and British foreign ministry strongly disagreed. And that's another reason why they hated Charles de Gaulle. Both Allied factions acknowledged that much of German's business elite had directly participated in the Holocaust. For Allied hardliners, the business elite's participation in Hitler's extermination through forced labor program

36:31 rekindled their argument that new precedents must be set in international law by bringing such people to justice. But in contrast, the foreign ministries insisted that most of Germans' elite activities were not illegal under the existing international agreements. And removing national elites from power would only strengthen the hand of native revolutionaries.

36:59 God forbid we put someone we can't control in charge of a country. The careers of John Foster Dulles and Alan Dulles, who were to become the Secretary of State and Director of CIA, respectively, were the types of people who traveled by and were involved in international economic elite affairs during the decades.

37:29 between World War I and World War II. In the wake of World War I, the Dulles brothers helped construct the international treaties and legal definitions that shut down efforts to bring mass murderers to justice. Between the wars, both were active in U.S.-German trade diplomatic relationships, particularly in developing ornate corporate camouflages

37:55 intended to frustrate efforts to increase accountability of major companies. The two brothers also disagreed for a time on how best to respond to the new war unfolding between Germany and Britain. They did agree, however, that on what was to them the pivotal issue, the preservation of the influence of European business and diplomatic elite, including that of Germany, when the conflict was over.

38:26 Alan Dulles exploited his post at the OSS to squash war crime prosecution of senior Nazi officials and German business leaders who cooperated with him in a series of clandestine schemes to secure U.S. advantage in Central Europe. That, my friends, is Operation Gladio. He personally intervened to ensure the escape from prosecution.

38:53 major German bankers and industrialists complicit in the Nazi extermination through labor program. And just to be clear, he refers to this extermination through labor program as working them to death, that all of those companies, the major companies that were supporting the war effort.

39:16 used forced labor, just like Japan did, of the American POWs and Dutch POWs and everybody else. And they worked them literally to death. According to records brought to light, Dulles also protected Carl Wolff, the highest ranking SS officer to survive the war, and one of the principal sponsors of the Treblinka.

39:45 extermination camp, as well as a number of Wolf senior aides who were alleged to have been responsible for the deportation of Jewish people to Auschwitz in the massacre of Italian partisans. Meanwhile, John Foster Dulles helped forge consensus on Wall Street and the Republican Party in favor of internationalist U.S. foreign policy based on rebuilding Germans' economic elite into a bulwark.

40:15 against revolution in Europe. As will be seen, a key element of his effort was the extension of a de facto amnesty to most of German's business leaders, regardless of their activities during the Third Reich. Herbert Pels, P-E-L-L-S, apostrophe S, sorry, worked on a commission that goes by the abbreviation UNWCC, which was basically

40:45 a united nations um not a united nations it's called um it was because we didn't have the united nations yet but it was it doesn't refer to the actual united nations that you and i think of but it was united nations war crimes committee or something like that he became the first target of the allied factions favoring

41:14 for the Axis notables who had collaborated with the Nazi crimes. State Department legal chief Green Hackworth succeeded in engineering Pell's dismissal in early 1945. And we'll talk about this in a lot more depth later on in another chapter. Then in shutting down the commission altogether within 36 months after the end of the war.

41:44 He starved it. He stopped funding it. He sabotaged it. He sent people to spy on Pell. The guy's an evil bastard. Then a U.S. intelligence agent by the name of Ivan Kurno, K-E-R-N-O, who had worked with Allen Dulles since the 1920s and who had served as a legal counsel to the new United Nations organization.

42:11 sealed the UN WCC records, keeping them off limits to war crime investigators for more than 40 years. It took a scandal surrounding the wartime careers of UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim to break open the files. So, the overall drift will be to forget, to compromise, and to walk away.

42:41 from injustice. So that's an overview. That's chapter number one, and it's an overview of this book. We're going to get into some more details. As a matter of fact, the next couple of chapters will deal with the Armenian genocide, and then we will get into all of the backroom deals that went on with

43:09 the Sullivan and Cromwell crowd during World War II leading up to and why they protected. They even get into a little bit of the Allen Dulles maneuvering to get the Nazis that he supported out, which we all know now is Operation Gladio, that that was the seed.

43:32 that gave birth to Operation Gladio Worldwide, which is why I found this book completely fascinating from that perspective. It gives us some answers to stories I didn't have before. So anytime I find something like this that answers questions that I still have, I want to bring them to you guys. All right. So do we have anybody that wants to come up? Absolutely.

44:06 Boy, I tell you what, it's just the connection. The Dulles family, you know, it just blows my mind. Every time you go through different groups like this as to how it's the entire family. Well, and you can't forget the sister. Everybody forgets the sister, Eleanor. Right. We're going to find her in this book, too.

44:37 She was even more involved than just working at that research and intelligence section of the State Department. She's in this book, too. I was flabbergasted. Yeah, she was in on the whole Nazi thing, too. I mean, just one more, one more, one more, you know, again, the family. It's not just evil.

45:09 Just evil. Yep. Well, and you know, like Warhamster has been proving with the secret society thing, they marry into it. They like spawn these people. So yeah, it's crazy. I was trying to find if I could see it real quick. Oh yeah, right here. So I'm going to skip ahead a little bit.

45:39 It says right here, the Dulles family had played an important role in the bank from its inception. And they're talking about the Bank of International Settlements, which we all know was given birth to after World War I and became the Bank of International, the Central Bank of Central Banks. And it says, so it's not surprising that Alan Dulles would turn.

46:04 To his contacts there, the institution had been founded to carry out international clearing necessary for reparation programs. John Foster Dulles had helped pioneer after World War I. And the bank's first chronicler and most enthusiastic supporter was his sister, Eleanor Lansing Dulles.

46:29 Oh, my God. The bitch worked at the Bank of International Syndicate or settlements. No, I think you said it right. You said it correctly. I was like, are you shitting me? Yeah. And that's by design, right? I mean, they're not. She didn't accidentally, you know.

46:55 This is all by design. And again, it goes to the networking and the patterns and the patterns, patterns and patterns and patterns of patterns. So they can control everybody. Right. Come on, Stella. They need to be shuttered, burned down, blown up. Well, she keeps losing her mic. I don't know why. They're messing with now the other people. They took their eyes off me for today. Just for today.

47:33 I will say this, because I bash them so much. For the first time, I was able to create the space. It did not crash. I did not get kicked out. And y'all have been able to hear me. Right. That's just crazy. And even over on Rumble, it's going smoothly, but incredibly quietly, which is very suspicious to Sam. That's true. But we don't have all the...

48:03 rival rousers over there that i at least i don't see them right that's that's what i'm saying i'm like it's just vicious i'm just saying well it's friday they may be at the club oh that's true that is true if you guys might not be having any issues but i keep getting kicked out or i can't end up hearing so you guys may not having the issues but they're attacking us listening to you guys

48:32 I mean, yesterday's was the absolute worst. And like I said, it's because I think that sometimes, you know, because the connections are so strong with what you guys are displaying from the past, whether it's the patterns or the same sets of people or like we're still in the same systems from the past, because like you were saying, they marry into it.

48:51 You know, whether it's through the banking of international, the banking families or, you know, they're all seem to be all interrelated amongst each other. So we're just and it's like these cartels, they marry to make them stronger or richer, just like they used to do back in the olden days with the different monarchies, in my personal opinion. Yeah. And today has a different name, the sand. You remember when that's true? Yeah. Guru was the one that said, you know, change the name.

49:22 And sure enough, today, new name and we don't have any problems until they figure this name out. Well, to your point, though, Bridget, that's actually a very interesting observation because people know Twilight of the Shadow Government is Kevin Shipp's book. And they know that he's CIA and he's basically outing all of their shit in that book. Well, not all of it, but a lot of it.

49:51 So that is a good point. So we'll see if we don't have any problems with this particular book. But my guess is if patterns continue after about four episodes, yeah, it'll start. Yeah, could be. No, I think that you guys are totally right, because it seems like when you first start a book.

50:17 Maybe the AI or the powers that be are like, oh, okay, well, you know, we don't really know yet. But then once you start going in, again, it figures it out. And it's like, oh, wait, this might be a little too soon because let's attack their spaces. But, you know, that's how I look. I told you guys that before. I mean, I started noticing this probably about six or seven months ago. Certain topics I'll let you talk about.

50:39 You know, because they might not be able to connect it right to today. But, you know, they do just change the name because, like you guys said, you know, what was their, you know, what was it, their, the revolution, or what was it, their rainbow revolution, whatever they used to call their names and stuff. And you're like, no, no, it's still the same thing. It's just a different name. They just rebrand it, but it's the same protocols that they've been doing, whether it's the Phoenix Project, MKUltra, whatever. That's true.

51:07 I'm actually really looking forward to this Operation Sandman, though. I mean, I am really looking forward to that. Oh, gosh. All right. Anybody got anything else? I was going to ask you about current events. Do you have any opinions? Do you have any theories? Which current event, Bridget? There's so many of them. Well, there you go. James Comey.

51:46 Sandman, all the stuff that just happened with Trump bouncing from with all these incredibly honorable displays, et cetera, et cetera. Well, I think his trip to the Middle East is probably one of the most notorious presidential trips in my lifetime.

52:16 I've never seen anything like that. So I think it's going to be extremely consequential. It also significantly isolated Israel and their reaction to it was very telling. As far as James Comey goes, James Comey should be.

52:47 experiencing a 5 a.m. FBI raid. They should take everything out of his house. They should take every electronic device he has. And like I said in that one post, there's no way he didn't know what he was doing when he posted that picture. I believe

53:19 Because I believe in patterns, that that somehow was supposed to be some way of indicating to someone a message. And it's very disturbing, to say the least. And they really should live stream it when his house gets raided on X. And that way we can all watch.

53:50 Because it's going to be such a glorious moment. I can't disagree with that at all. Well, I also find it very coincidental, you know, because Comey's daughter, isn't she on the prosecution of the Diddy side? You know, we know what that's all about and stuff, you know. So you just see these, like, little coincidences all over the place. And it's like, ha-ha, we knew that it was a honey puppet. Ha-ha.

54:14 you know, they don't seem to want to release too much of the Diddy, not Diddy, the other guy, Epstein, you know, like, you know, they've released stuff. We know a lot of this stuff, but they're not really focusing on that. They seem to have brushed it under the carpet as far as like the media. And of course they don't want that to be shown. But now with the Diddy stuff, you know, the fact that, you know, it's not being aired or anything, you have a few people going in and talking about it, but just knowing that these connections do kind of all connect to each other. And it's like,

54:42 See, they're all related. They're all freaking related, not just by coincidences, but by freaking blood, these assholes. Sorry. And then they're posting about the number of days between 9-11 and him doing that was the exact numbers on there. That's crazy shit. That is really crazy. I mean, that was totally mind-blowing.

55:09 And then the time that he did it as well, you know, it was 333 or whatever it was, which is their like little magic number for 33 or steps or whatever it is that they call it, you know, just so much stuff, you know, and.

55:22 And he can't get away with saying that he didn't know that because he was freaking ahead of the FBI. I'm not a nobody. I mean, don't get into trouble too often, except for when I actually do stupid stuff. But for the most part, I even knew that, you know. And then if we remember back during the time that he was FBI and during the elections back in 2020, wasn't that Gretchen Whitmer bitch, whatever she was, didn't she do like an 86?

55:49 47 back in the day during the time that he was in. So no, he's a, they, they seem to think that we're stupid. Those assholes see, they need to be dissolved. I don't know what the timing of hers doing that was, but, um, or whether I don't think he was still the FBI director, but again, it made national news. Everybody knows what it is. There's no way he doesn't know. I thought it was really interesting how quickly cash and, um,

56:19 What's her name? God, I can't think of her name. Bundy. Came out and immediately posted that he was going to be under investigation. Yes. It was very, very rapid. Yeah. Tulsi Gabbard saying that basically, yeah, that he needs to be investigated. And the secret service guy said, yeah, we're going to take care of this. The FBI said it. Yeah, they were very Johnny on the spot about all of that. And that's very unusual.

56:51 Absolutely. That gives me hope. Yep. Lots going on. We actually have people working for the people again. Isn't it nice? Yeah. Southern, go ahead. Yeah, all that stuff with Comey is just creepy beyond creepy, and he thinks he's untouchable. I think he's going to find out he's no longer untouchable. But I just want to go back to the Middle East. What happened there is phenomenal.

57:21 Trump was treated like a king. And I say that word specifically because of the context of the area and how they layer up people and authority and trust and all that. If y'all notice that hair dance.

57:37 Those girls always have their head covered. They only have it uncovered when they have somebody of great worth and great character. And I can't say that word enough, character, which was astonishing. But what I loved is China and Russia got a welcome to the table. You're going to have to sit at a lower table now because we're not going to let you.

58:02 do this because Trump's not going to go in and do nation building and all that crap. He specifically talked about what they built, and they should be congratulated for everything they've done in building their economy, taking care of their people, et cetera, et cetera. It wasn't done by our influence. That is not our job. We can help with military deferrence, peace through strength, but we want trade.

58:30 He came back with a lot of commitments for almost $2 trillion between Qatar, Saudi, et cetera, et cetera. But he also created a platform where Iran and them can talk now. It's not going to be coming in with a baseball bat. It's coming in leader to leader. Let's work this out so we can help your country. And that is timely, thank goodness.

58:59 But all this has come together. But part of it is because when he was president before, what he said, he did. Whatever he said he was going to do, he did it. So they can trust him now coming back in. And I think that sent a big signal to China. You cannot come in here and create your pathway through and muck up the Middle East. It's just not going to happen anymore. And that is a huge change globally. And I'm very excited about that.

59:27 I'm very excited about that. Yeah, me too. Yep. Yeah, there was a couple of other little crazy things with the whole Prince of Saudi Arabia, you know, the Mohammed bin Salman. You know, when you do the Jamatria, remember when he called him Johnny? Does everybody remember Trump calling him Johnny, kind of nicknamed him Johnny? Yeah.

1:00:00 Okay, well, when you do the gematria on that, guess what pops up? Las Vegas. Who was in Las Vegas during the Las Vegas shooting? Mohammed bin Salman. Just weird coincidences.

1:00:20 That's interesting because when they were saying, you know, his nickname was Johnny, I was thinking of the shining because it's shining on them and like, here's Johnny. But I had no idea about what you were just saying. Holy cow. Yeah. I mean, there was a couple weird like coinkydink things like with that. There was the, like I said, the Las Vegas. And then there was what was some Saudi Arabia that came up same number.

1:00:51 We Are One came up. There was just a bunch of weird things that came up with it that was just really weird, like coincidentally. And then I was also hoping for during these accords that I'm really hoping for a Putin-Trump bromance happening while he's over there. I hope that's not off the table because that would really send some messages too.

1:01:20 Yeah, well, but are we going to ever find out what happened in Las Vegas? Is it going to be 10 years from now to get what really happened there? I don't think so. I think we're going to find out that all of these things are just as we all know them to be.

1:01:43 They have been basically Operation Gladio events, and the aftermath of them have been used for the political achievement of goals that they set, usually legislatively, but also just to terrorize people.

1:02:06 Obviously, that was a country western country venue that was there. And I knew tons of people after that event that went years before they went to another concert. And those types of things instill terror in people. And the people that go to country events are generally voting Republican.

1:02:34 That's a specific reason. Again, women and children make the best targets psychologically for these heinous assholes. And so the more I look into Vegas, the more convinced I am that it was Gladio. If you look into Paddock, the fact that he had a small arsenal, he was stockpiling weapons.

1:03:01 His connection to the Philippines, where we know is Operation Gladio Central, as far as terror training camps and the production of terrorists. I wish we had the ability to find out more about the family of the woman who I proposed was most likely his handler.

1:03:28 He was stockpiling weapons for an event. And evidently, this got the clearance to be the event. And the whole idea of the helicopters that were just so happened to be in the local area and they just so happened to be doing training. You just cannot put enough coincidences into this lineup before you go. Wait a minute. None of them are coincidences.

1:03:57 And the, you know, the police chief and the bungling of everything about it. He shows up in Maui. Everything about it just tells me that. And every new piece that comes out fits in that puzzle. It doesn't disprove it. It fits in that puzzle. Stellar, go ahead. Well, I was going to agree with you. I do believe that that was an Operation Gladio thing.

1:04:24 In the news, because, you know, I am here in Vegas and stuff. And so when the news was going off on it, at that time, had no idea about Trump saving the prince and things. But I did notice. I mean, I was in town and I was supposed to go to that. And I was running late from work and I did drive by the airport. And Air Force One was in town, which, you know.

1:04:47 That we didn't know about. I mean, traffic was just crazy like it normally is for a big venue and stuff like that. The things where I started waking up more to what happened here in Vegas, thinking, well, maybe there is something more going on, because a few months later, six months later, whatever it was, there was a music festival in Ventura County.

1:05:08 And there were people, I mean, I guess there are people that just go to, you know, these types of concerts, you know, or, you know, festivals or whatever you want to call it. And it didn't even matter what kind of music it was because these were younger folks that were at the Route 91.

1:05:24 But that other one that was in Ventura County was not a country festival, but there was a shootout there. I think that the CIA personally was cleaning up witnesses, and they had been and they have been. Because when you hear of these other shootings that happened, whether it was in Miami or different parts of the country, there were people that were at Route 91 even a few years, you know.

1:05:49 A few years later, you'd hear about people that were at both of these different events that were killed or whatever, you know. So I just I think that, you know, like you had mentioned before, a lot of these things are tied in together and definitely a Gladio operation. And that bromance between the prince and Trump, I found it to be beautiful and so much respect for our country. Yeah. Miles, go ahead. Yeah, I saw an interesting show about someone else that lived in Vegas.

1:06:19 And worked in Vegas. He's a comedian. And he was following this just like we were. So, of course, we're speculating. But if you look at the timeline, Trump goes over to Saudi Arabia and picks MBS, I think, for a certain reason to clean up what was going on in Saudi Arabia. So then, after that, you have this event in Vegas.

1:06:49 and DHS screwed up. It's on video. They said, yeah, we were there at 6 in the morning. What do you mean? Why were you there before the event? So there were certain things that were happening there, and we don't know exactly, but what we're theorizing because of what happened there, let's say a coup and then a counter-coup, that it gave MBS...

1:07:16 the excuse to go back to Saudi Arabia and arrest everybody. And that's what he did. And then shortly after that, that's when the Q drops started. So there is a timeline here that we don't exactly know exactly what is going on, but there is a timeline of certain events that played out. Thanks, Colonel. Sure. Can I bring up one more thing too? Sure, Stellar.

1:07:43 So prior to Route 91, there was another festival. I think it's called Life is Beautiful or something like that. And he was supposed to apparently in our news here in Las Vegas, they did mention that that Pollock guy was a CIA person. That was what was initially being mentioned. Also, there were people because there was people that were coming that work for the.

1:08:08 you know, reservations or whatever, you know, that check these different things out. Apparently that man had also booked for that Life is Beautiful a couple of weeks earlier was that festival that was here. And he had booked a room that also overlooked kind of like say the Mandalay Bay thing, but the Life is Beautiful. So they may, in my personal opinion, I don't know if they knew that he was going to be.

1:08:33 at that you know um you know the prince and i believe that he was the you know he was going to be here just not sure which one um and stuff like that and he ended up being in town during the life or the other one and not the first one because if he would have had i mean they were saying and this is only and and this this story got squashed early on

1:08:54 But from The Life is Beautiful, if that would have been the one that he ended up shooting up, he would have been right on top of where the festival was. And he chose not to do that one. He chose to do the Mandalay Bay. And if you start really searching into who owned the top floors of Mandalay Bay, and then if you start seeing where his window was supposedly, he wouldn't have been able to. So we know, I mean, the conspiracy theorists, if you want to say, I mean, and that was what was being really questioned in the beginning.

1:09:23 Was the fact that, you know, from his window in that room would not have had that. He would not have been. There's no way a gun would have been shot. The certain areas that he had shot, there was no there's no sight. So, you know, and that kind of made and then with gunshots that were firing all over the place, whether it was at the Tropicana. And I think that that's where the main gunfights were. But you had gunshots.

1:09:49 And all of the casinos, especially the ones that were MGM. So, I mean, there was stuff going on. So it's interesting that you say that because they could have used the other one as a dry run. They could have been trying to formulate a plan and use that one that you said occurred a couple of weeks before.

1:10:15 as like a dry run as far as how to orchestrate the whole thing. Go ahead, Miles. Yeah, I remember that night when it was happening. We were on different platforms watching it. It was on Periscope. It was on YouTube and BitChute. Now, it was interesting on BitChute, this guy that I was talking about, the comedian, he was friends with this guy that was paralyzed when he was younger.

1:10:44 But he thinks he was working for the government. Well, he actually was working for the government. And he cataloged all these people that were live broadcasting from there on their phones. And it went on to BitChute. And then that got scrubbed. But there is a, if you Google it or, you know, go on the Internet, you search for old BitChute. And it's still cataloged. There are all these videos of what was going on.

1:11:14 And it was weird. Some of the witnesses were saying the gunshot noises are coming from the speakers. The gunshot noises are coming from the speakers. So this is crazy when, you know, if we ever get this all sorted out. Yeah. It's hard to decipher all of the different inputs because a lot of people.

1:11:45 don't respond well to emergencies and they get discombobulated. So I'm very familiar with that kind of trauma-based events. And even when they have done tests, like in controlled conditions, and

1:12:10 to military people, this is a well-known thing, and they talk about it in psychological training, that when you have an event, you can watch the event and then interview the people that were participating in the event. And the amount of, and this is how cops get their training too, the amount of misinformation of people who saw the exact same thing is,

1:12:40 is something that's just phenomenal to me. Had I not watched and, you know, been involved in some of this, I would have never believed that it was possible to get some of the completely different versions. And they're convinced that what their part, that they're saying is absolutely true. It's really a phenomenal thing to watch.

1:13:10 But anyway, I would never want that job. I can tell you that. Miles, go ahead. Well, I try to point out to people that if they can Hollywood certain events to the level that it looks so real that on a large scale, that it's very hard to disseminate between what the media, you know, the wag the dog stuff, right?

1:13:42 So that's what's really difficult for us to try to figure out. Sometimes it's almost like silly, stupid, where we can figure it out right away. But other times, it's not. You see like, oh, well, that's a gaming video that they put out there. Stuff like that. Or that came from four years ago in Beirut. Right. Stuff like that. But some of this stuff is so sophisticated.

1:14:12 that it it's frustrating to you know everybody's like well i it's got to be true well really no and once you understand that the technology with and i don't really want to get into this so i'm not opening pandora's box but the the the capabilities of um the cia to create

1:14:40 create entire settings that are completely manipulated. You know, we've come across some of them, but like, and we've seen it in here, guys. We have people that have come in here and said, although we know 100% because there's declassified documents of

1:15:08 what happened in the CIA setting something up, you will have people that lived in the country while it was happening and say that's not how it happened at all. So they don't understand that everything that they lived through was a lie. The news reports that were on television, the CIA orchestrated all of them.

1:15:34 They bought the newspapers in some of these countries so that everything that was published was a lie. And off the shore, they're blockading, blowing up ships coming into port. But the people in the country never see it. And they think their government's responsible for them not having food. And it never gets reported because the CIA owns the airwaves, the radio and the newspaper.

1:16:04 We have had firsthand experience as we've uncovered these operations where people just swear to God that's not how it happened. I have conversations with military people. No, I was there. I realized you were there. But everything that you were told was a lie. And I had a conversation with somebody on his base who was telling me about, no, the yellow cake in Iraq was real. No, it wasn't. I'm sorry, but it wasn't.

1:16:34 There's been declassified documents. I saw the actual plan that Frank Luntz wrote with Pearl that had that in it as one of the avenues that they were going to use in the psyops. So it's really hard for people. And I lived through it.

1:17:01 I mean, when I first started, and Bridget will tell you this, I kept saying when I first discovered Operation, well, when we first discovered Operation Gladio, I kept saying, but I was in Italy. How the hell did this happen? I lived there. And then I started, you know.

1:17:18 thinking about it. And I'm like, well, shit. In Sicily, they gunned down those judges and prosecutors on the steps of the courthouse. Oh, shit. And there was a reporter that was killed. And there were all of these people around the country of Italy in the early 90s, when all of this was getting revealed, that were assassinated. And I'm like, yes, I lived through it and didn't even know what was going on. So it's crazy. Miles, go ahead.

1:17:49 Oh, here's a fun fact about Alcatraz since it's been in the news. There was a guy that worked there that we were talking to, and he goes, well, you probably didn't know this, but during World War II, you've heard of submarine nets, right, Colonel? Yep. Okay, so they would deploy submarine nets out of Alcatraz, and they were trying to protect the bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge.

1:18:14 And they didn't know until, I think it was the early 90s, they were doing some work. And they went down and they found damage and they did some forensic on it. So a torpedo had hit one of the towers on the bridge. That's interesting. Yeah, I've been across that bridge a few times.

1:18:49 Okay. Anybody else? No. All right. So we're going to call it a day. And we'll jump back into our book on Monday. And we have a project that a bunch of us are working on. And hopefully towards the end of next week, we're going to be able to share that with you guys.

1:19:20 at least in its elementary state. And I'm really excited about that. Patrick, go ahead. Colonel, are you hearing me all right? Yep, I hear you fine. Okay, I screwed up the other day and hit the wrong button. Just in a discussion with some conservatives down at the local Christian coffee shop this morning, we were talking about, are they...

1:19:48 Are certain political parties infiltrating small communities with people to change opinions? And I kind of looked it up quickly and found this. There's an article that rural urban bridge mission statement there refers to an article about creating insurgencies in rural communities for left behind communities. Wait, wait, what? Say that again.

1:20:17 So it's sowing a rural insurgency. That's an article out of the American Prospect. New organizing groups agitate for a healthy share of resources to rebuild the Democratic image and left behind communities. So it kind of sounds like almost a Gladio-like type of activity for the Democratic Party in this particular case. Can you send me that? Can you put that in my DMs, please? Yeah. Okay.

1:20:48 So I thought it was fascinating because it came up because somebody in the discussion thought somebody in the community was some strange kind of an infiltrator. They had reason to believe that and wondered if that could possibly happen. And, of course, you told them it could and does on a routine basis, right? Yeah. Yeah. I said it can, it has, it will. What was the name of the article? The company or the publisher?

1:21:18 It's the American Prospect, Ideas, Politics, and Power. The title of the article by Justin Vassallo in March 21st, like a couple, like a month ago. Sewing a Rural Insurgency was the title of the article. Yeah, I definitely want to see that. They started organizing the Rural Urban Bridge Initiative, a group determined to breathe new life into rural organizing strategies.

1:21:46 They comment in one of their articles that there was only 7,900 votes that sort of shifted the House from one side to the other, if they count carefully. And they should go to these kind of activities to try to swing back the other direction. Yeah, I'd like to read that. And just one other comment I wanted to say the other day.

1:22:09 That the Army was not as smart as the Air Force in the numbering of the aircraft. I flew an OH-58A in Vietnam and a UH-1D. So the zero on the O could have been mistaken, unlike the wise Air Force that doesn't use those. Yeah. Well, obviously, there was a reason they took the Air Force out of the Army. Get the smart people.

1:22:40 somewhere else um it it is uh yeah um it's it's very interesting we we've had our share of stupid people too though um but anyway i'm gonna leave that there but um southern go ahead yeah i just read the article i had heard something about this because they're um

1:23:11 Because they saw with what Bernie and AOC are doing in bringing in rules to their rallies. But the funny part is most of the people at their rallies are paid to be there. They're part of the protesters or under the NGOs and all that kind of stuff. But this is going to go after Trump's base, rural and working class Americans. So this is true. This is true.

1:23:39 I see some of the people involved, and it's true. So they're going after Trump voters, basically. That's why we have a Christian coffee shop, so we can ferret out these people. That's awesome. I don't think I've ever heard of a Christian coffee place. That's awesome. I think so. It helps me a lot. The coffee's good, too. That's all the better.

1:24:11 and, and obviously much needed, um, in having, um, places where you can meet and have discussions like that. Um, so good on you for, uh, for doing that. Okay. Anybody else? All right. I'm just going to tell you guys have a wonderful weekend and, um, I will be back here at four o'clock on Monday. See y'all then. Have a great weekend. Thanks again.

1:24:43 And if you have that urge, if all kinds of stuff breaks loose this weekend and you see connections and you decide to open up a space, please notify us. I will do that, Stellar. Thanks, guys.
