0:00 I told you, Bridget, as soon as I did that update yesterday, it just kicked me out again. I did notice a little bit of a glitchiness. Just so that you guys know, we are oftentimes, our entire space is disrupted multiple times. And I generally get kicked out of my own space anywhere from two times to four or five times, sometimes constantly on occasion.

0:30 Yesterday was the first time, and as long as I can remember, that I opened the space. We had not a single problem with speakers, with people being able to hear. I didn't get kicked out at once. So afterwards, Bridget texted me and said there was an update. And I downloaded the update and I said, you watch, it's going to screw up the...

0:57 The settings again and I'll get kicked out tomorrow and that's exactly what happened. So you can't not update it. But at the same time, it just seems to always be messed up. But anyway, let me get us started over here on Rumble. And then we're going to dive in because, of course, there's like a million things to talk about. In addition to our lesson and where we left off.

1:30 last time was talking about Bob Woodard and his association with the CIA. So just a little bit more. The author, Kevin Shipp, talks a little bit about what he believes was going on with Bob Woodward's writings.

2:04 About John F. Kennedy and Nixon. And he always seemed to couch the role of the CIA and not a bad light. We'll just leave it as that. I just got the hiccups. Sorry. There was a... So I just say that about getting kicked out and Bridget just got kicked out. Okay. So I just brought her back up.

2:39 The author mentions a book that was published in 1991 called Silent Coup, The Removal of a President from a guy by the name of Lynn Colony and Robert Gatlin. Here's a quote. The appointment was especially puzzling in light of Nixon's deep-seated belief that the CIA had contributed to his loss in the 1960 election. And he's talking.

3:09 Well, let's just go on. Back then, Nixon told friends the CIA had played politics with the Bay of Pigs operation, briefing candidate John Kennedy on it to the point where he was able to make a strong anti-Castro stand that Nixon couldn't because as the vice president, it would be basically talking about classified information. The CIA had also given Kennedy.

3:40 ammunition for his accusations against the missile gap that he exploited in a similar fashion, which again, of course, was classified information. And in reality, there was no such thing as a missile gap. I don't know what they're doing to Bridget. So the popular account, which you'll get in most history books, is that Kennedy looked more glamorous during the debate, and that's why he won the election.

4:14 He goes on to talk about how the CIA basically interfered in that election, which they did. And he gives a couple of other examples with the information and an article in the New York Times that was placed there because of the CIA interference. The author says, my personal feeling is that the CIA knew that after eight years in the presidency, Eisenhower and by extension, his vice president,

4:46 were deeply suspicious of the CIA. Now, I disagree with that because they both used the CIA extensively, but Nixon was, while complicit in the use of assassinations to overthrow governments during Eisenhower's tenure, he had made some comments that basically

5:12 said that he knew that the CIA had been complicit in the JFK assassination. And they did not want Nixon as president in 1960. Because they were full-fledged in on going into Vietnam, keeping Kennedy from... They thought that Kennedy was a new enough person and meldable enough that they were going to be able to control him. They obviously found out that was not the case.

5:44 The likelihood is that Kennedy was badly lied to by his CIA briefers, believing that he would be easier to control than Nixon. And that's from the author. I was just trying to summarize. The scope of how badly Kennedy was deceived is staggering. Now, this is a quote. On the day before he became president, Kennedy was told by his predecessor, Dwight Eisenhower, that there was no missile gap. The U.S. had a huge advantage, said Eisenhower.

6:13 and one invulnerable weapon, the Polaris. These nuclear weapons aboard U.S. Navy submarines were off the coast of the Soviet Union. In other words, the entire time that they're hyping the Soviet Union, there wasn't really a threat. We could have annihilated them in seconds. Later CIA reports indicated that during the 1960 campaign, the Soviets probably had only three intercontinental ballistic missiles.

6:43 at the time, though the CIA estimate incorrectly said that they had 90 and 200 bombers capable of carrying those nuclear weapons, although none of their bombers had the ability to reach the United States at that given time. So they gave Kennedy information to use against Nixon, not only classified information, but it was incorrect.

7:12 At the same time, the U.S. had 108 missiles that could reach any Soviet target. And they had another 30 that they had moved into Turkey. Again, right along the southern part of the Soviet Union. The U.S. had 600 nuclear-ready bombers capable of reaching any Soviet target.

7:40 Imagine that you are JFK and you realize one of the central claims of your campaign was false. It was not simply a lie, but a lie that he believed. And even worse was to come in the form of CIA's lies about the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba. Kennedy was understandably upset, but he failed to take enough corrective action. In a national security archive, an article.

8:11 dated December 2014 in the New York Times. This is a quote from it. In the aftermath of the failed CIA-led invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, JFK angrily told his top aides that he would splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds. For a brief period, the president considered the State Department's recommendation to strip the agency of its covert operations, reorganize it, and even rename it.

8:41 If Kennedy had shuttered the CIA covert operations in 1961, the U.S. might have been spared an unending cycle of illegal or immoral and criminal CIA-related scandals, among them the assassination plots, the Phoenix program, the secret program that brought and covered for many of Hitler's Nazis into America.

9:08 regime changes in Iran, Guatemala, Brazil, Chile, and elsewhere, we know, and the domestic supplying effort known as Operation Chaos, the illegal Iran-Contra operations, blah, blah, blah. We know all of them. Undertaken by the CIA's directorate operations, these covert actions have been conducted in, quotably, I'm putting them in air quotes, defense of our democratic institutions.

9:38 Unquote. But he failed to do that. And as a result, we know what they did to him. After his death, Lyndon B. Johnson assumed the presidency reversed every single one of Kennedy's actions as it related to foreign policy and the involvement of the CIA, because the CIA had basically helped him ascend to the presidency. It started immediately with the escalation in Vietnam.

10:13 And, of course, led to the Gulf of Tonkin false flag, leading to the death of 55,000 American servicemen and more than a million Vietnamese. And what did Nixon come to believe had happened in the 60 election? Well, he wrote about it in his 1962 book called Six Crises, portions of which were excerpt excerpt excerpted in.

10:41 the U.S. News and World Report. This is a quote from that, from his book. Mr. Nixon charges in his book, well, excuse me, this is a quote from the U.S. News and World Report. Mr. Nixon charges in his book that Mr. Kennedy endangered U.S. security when he urged in a campaign speech the U.S. intervention in Cuba and aid to anti-castro forces in the country, even though he had been briefed by the CIA.

11:07 that U.S.-supported anti-Castro forces already were training for that invasion. The White House and Alan Dulles, former director of the CIA, who was fired by Kennedy because of the Bay of Pigs debacle, have denied that President Kennedy had been advised of the invasion plans before the election. Mr. Dulles said the charge apparently was the result of an honest mistake.

11:33 For the former vice president, that incident was, quote, the first and only time in the campaign I got mad at Kennedy personally. And my rage was greater because I knew I could do nothing about it, unquote, because of him not being able to talk about classified information.

12:05 that he got away with it, escalated it. And that's a great analogy of basically what the CIA was doing. Nixon had spent eight years as the vice president watching the CIA operate. Nixon then went on to say that he basically would have not allowed them to do anything with the Bay of Pigs, whether or not he would have. I mean, you know, it's hindsight, it's 2020. We don't know what he would have done because he wasn't given the opportunity to do it. Okay.

12:40 In 1992, the book called Silent Coup, The Removal of a President, the same two authors, Lynn Coley and Robert Gatlin, presents a unique window into the Nixon administration and Bob Woodward's role in it. This is a quote from the book. Nixon's need to control his political destiny and prevent the blunting of his agenda by bureaucrats pushed him towards establishing what was, in effect, a secret government.

13:09 He was intensely private and withdrawn, almost the opposite of the usual politician. Nixon often recoiled from social situations and preferred to be closeted with familiar aides and sit alone with a pad and pencil, jotting down his thoughts. Quote, meeting new people filled him with vague dread, especially if they were in a position to rebuff or contradict him, unquote.

13:37 That was from Henry Kissinger's memoirs called The White House Years. Both Nixon and Kissinger saw the government bureaucrats as roadblocks to be circumvented. To Nixon, Congress was under the thumb of the Democrats. The State Department and the CIA were havens for Western establishment liberals who hated him. And the military was full of indoctrinated, inflexible, anti-communist, unquote. And he's not wrong about that. Okay, so.

14:10 Next, he goes on to talk about the secret bombing and involvement in Cambodia, the negotiated arms deals with the Soviets, and Nixon, during his administration, opening up to China. And again, all of those actions by Nixon would have thwarted what the globalists had planned for...

14:42 the one world government. So you can see Nixon, like Kennedy, is in a head-on collision with the CIA. The landslide re-election of Nixon was a turning point. This is a quote from something that Bob Woodward had put together.

15:20 Quote, to the joint chiefs, the back channel to China and Kissinger's overtures to the service chiefs provided the military with special access to the commander in chief. And he goes on to make clear that they basically were colluding behind Nixon's back in this environment in which Bob Woodward enters the picture being a Navy man himself.

15:49 tasked with overseeing Nixon's secret communication channels on behalf of a shadow government being frozen out of decision-making. So basically, Nixon took a playbook out of the CIA and created his own little off-the-books government, if you will, in order to operate outside of the CIA's purview. And he did a...

16:15 good job of trying to exclude them, which made them even more nervous about what he was doing, which we all know eventually ends up with them pushing Nixon out by the setup of Watergate. So here's another quote. The Navy brought Woodward to the Pentagon ostensibly as a communication watch officer responsible for overseeing approximately 30 sailors who manned the terminals, teletype,

16:45 and classified coding machines at the Naval Communication Center through which all of the Navy traffic flowed. And if you want anybody, this is the job that my husband had for the SecDef, my ex-husband. If you want someone who can get access to all of the information, that's exactly where you would put them. So they see everything from routine orders to the highest classified.

17:12 It was a sensitive position that afforded Woodward access to more than hundreds of communication channels, among them, according to Admiral Fitzpatrick, the top secret SR1 channel through which the Navy sent and received its most important messages. For example, those which served to operate its covert global spy unit known as Task Force 157.

17:39 Now, we're very familiar with Task Force 157. For those of you who are new, that Task Force 157 was the Navy's version in-house of basically a CIA. This is the task force that Edwin Wilson was a part of that on behalf of the Department of Navy set up a front company, which totally pissed off the CIA. And what they were doing with that front company is going around the world mapping harbors.

18:08 And they did it under the guise of, hey, we need to know this for where we can port maybe ships. So they were doing everything. They were taking pictures of all of the port facilities. They were measuring the depth of the port facilities, knowing what ships could come and go. And that was all information that the CIA wanted. But Edwin Wilson basically was kind of a double agent.

18:34 Because Edwin Wilson was also working on behalf of the CIA in this Task Force 157. This company becomes so powerful that when the 70s happen and the CIA is exposed as being the illegitimate terrorists that they actually are, and they're experimenting on Americans and everything else, the CIA wants that company. So they basically set up Edwin Wilson.

19:04 in selling arms to Libya and then turn him in and provide the people as witnesses against Edwin Wilson. And he ended up in jail. So that's what the CIA will do to anybody that works inside of their apparatus. SR1 was the channel that Moore provided to the White House when Kissinger and Nixon pushed him for back channel communication capability.

19:32 When Kissinger conducted his delicate, highly secret negotiations with China during 1971, SR1 carried Kissinger's messages back to the deputy, Al Haig, that the Peking mission had succeeded. So again, Woodward is basically there as a spy for the CIA, and he is compromising all of this classified information on behalf of the CIA against Nixon.

20:02 The picture that emerges from the book was that Woodward was working as one of the most trusted intelligence assets of the Navy, as well as other branches of the military, but was monitoring them the entire time. Those fully briefed on these matters was an extremely small group, as Admiral Thomas Moore.

20:33 Woodward's boss and Nixon's chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1970 to 74 readily shared with the authors of his knowledge of Woodward's activities. This is another quote from the book. However, that Woodward was a briefer and some of those briefings were to Alexander Haig could no longer be in doubt. Admiral Moore.

21:01 has confirmed to us that other sources had told us that Woodward had been a briefer and his duties included briefing Alexander Haig. He was one of the briefers, Moore told us. Did he brief Haig? Sure, of course, Moore said. Woodward was instructed to brief Haig because I was on the phone with Haig eight or nine times a day and there was even more to convey to Haig.

21:28 could in turn relay information to Kissinger and ultimately to the president. You don't have a four-star general lugging papers back and forth between the Pentagon and the White House. Moore told us, you pick up a junior grade lieutenant and tell him to do that, but not that junior of a guy. But Woodward was specially selected for the job. What sort of briefing would Woodward normally give to Haig? Quote, probably the same briefing he'd...

22:00 just given to me at nine o'clock, unquote. Moore said that he was given a briefing at 9 a.m. every day and that that briefing sometimes was translated over to Alexander Haig. Then Kevin Shipp goes on and says, Eisenhower, the legendary World War II general and U.S. president, understood the world that existed before the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency.

22:29 His vice president, Richard Nixon, understood the general's concerns as well. So, in 1960, the deep state thought Kennedy would be the one that they could easily manipulate. After being humiliated on the missile gap information and the chances of a successful anti-Castro revolution in Cuba, Kennedy became so irate at the CIA, he made his statement about shattering it.

22:58 LBJ becomes president, taking the U.S. into the Vietnam War under false pretenses, nearly shattering the country. Nixon becomes president in 1968, seeming to do the bidding of the shadow government and the military-industrial complex by increasing the efforts in Vietnam and bombing North Vietnamese sanctuaries in Cambodia. But he is also reaching out at the same time to the Soviet Union and China

23:26 trying to create a more stable international order. But we already know that's not going to happen. So they begin to monitor Nixon via Bob Woodward. So he gains the internal working knowledge of the White House. Then he leaves the military and obtains a position at the Washington Post, where he goes on to basically indict Nixon in the whole Watergate scandal.

23:58 Crazy that these are all the same people. Woodward then gets inside information from the FBI, Mark Phelps, who is later convicted of violating the civil rights of Americans, and also from the man who used to brief, while in the Navy, the White House Chief of Staff, Alexander Haig. Woodward brings down the Nixon White House and writes a number one bestseller book, basically saying, not his direct role in it.

24:27 but everybody else's role. So that's crazy. Who else working in the media today might be connected to the intelligence community? We already know that Project Mockingbird illustrated that the CIA has assets everywhere. Kevin Shipp says that he appeared on the Ingram angle on September 30th, 2019.

24:57 And they were there to talk about an anonymous whistleblower alleging President Trump engaged in illegal activity in his discussion with the Ukrainian President Zelensky. As he sat in the green room at Fox Studios in Atlanta, he watched the Hannity show that played before Laura's show and couldn't help but notice the pin on Sean Hannity's lapel. It was a CIA pin. In my experience in the agency.

25:26 That was a way of broadcasting one's allegiance. It's kind of like a signal. There are also so many moves in the CIA playbook of deception. And because of the work of many honest patriots, we've seen most of their deception. So that's an indictment of Sean Hannity as well. He then moves on to chapter two called the CIA officer discovers the truth.

26:00 After the death of William Casey, William Webster took over as director of the CIA. He was there from 1987 to 91 with Robert Gates as his deputy. And again, he goes on to say that he was an agent on Gates' protective detail because he had been on William Casey's protective detail, as we found out in Chapter 1.

26:26 He says he was pleased when he became the CIA director. Gates was a genuine CIA man, the only director to have risen from the entry level to a top position. He says, Kevin Shipp, that he would argue that the agency was mostly ran by Gates during the Webster tenure as well, because Webster was a very hands-off person.

26:52 It was during those years that I felt my proudest of associating with the CIA. I always found Gates to be a man of high intelligence and with a sense of humor. But in a turn of events that puzzled the author, Kevin Shipp, to this day, following the election of Bill Clinton in 1992, the pre-inauguration briefing he gave to Clinton, Gates resigned as the director of the CIA.

27:21 I can only imagine what happened in that meeting to make the guy that he knew resign. During the going away ceremony for Gates at the CIA headquarters, he, Sophia, Casey and the daughter, Bernadette, were both there. And of course, he knows them personally. And so Mrs. Casey asked Kevin, what the heck is going on around here?

27:49 And everybody was puzzled about why Gates resigned. He responds to Casey's widow with the response, ma'am, I don't know, but I think it's bad. She looked at me knowing how dedicated I had been to her husband and the agency and responds, well, why don't you do something about it? And he said that he was going to try.

28:14 Kevin Shipp goes on to say, my last assignment as a CIA protective agent was to participate in the installation of the new CIA director, John Deutch. George Tenet would take over as deputy CIA, and Nora Sklakton became the first executive officer, which is like the number three person. And this is the nicknames, Kevin Shipp says, were their nicknames inside the agency after they'd been there. The bum, referring.

28:48 referring to John Deutch, the politician, referring to George Tenet, and the dragon lady, referring to Nora Sklakton. His new role as the director of the CIA, Deutch came to visit the CIA's Counterintelligence Center, which he had just recently, Kevin Shipp, had been transferred to. And to say that no one was...

29:20 impressed with Deutsch was an understatement. So he goes on to say, Deutsch was usually quite disheveled in appearance. He always found him to be deeply unimpressive. Tenet was the opposite end of the spectrum, always dressed to the nines and tried to increase the enthusiasm in the CIA based on Clinton's changes at the CIA, but it didn't work.

29:52 When Tennant took over as director from the helpless Deutsch, he became the first director of intelligence to repeatedly invoke the state secret's privilege to shut down anyone against the agency and not tell them anything. And that included when families tried to get help that had been stranded or anything. He would not work with anybody.

30:20 The agency that Kevin's ship joined, he says, had always allowed vigorous dissent and disagreement inside of the walls. But once the decision had been made that they basically saluted smartly and moved on, that changed. With Tenet at the helm, they began cutting off any internal dissent and was not interested in improving the agency at all.

30:48 A New York Times editorial from 2009 detailed some of the harm of that policy. It is well known that President Obama had frequently criticized the agency, but came to support all of the secrecy once he became president, which isn't unusual at all because he basically is a product of that secrecy. This is a quote from the article.

31:18 Of the many ways the Bush administration sought to evade accountability for its violation of law and the Constitution under the cover of battling terrorism, one of the most appalling was its attempt to use inflated claims of state secrecy to slam shut the doors of the nation's courthouse. Sadly, the Obama administration also embraced this tactic, even though President Obama

31:43 criticized the cult of secrecy while running for office, leaving it to the courts to stand up for transparency and accountability, which, of course, they were not allowed to do because they were never provided any information to do it. Little did Kevin Shipp know when Tennant assumed his office as CIA director that he and his family would fall victim to this exact policy. Is it any wonder that the quality of intelligence gathering began to suffer?

32:11 And then he says that that's what led to 9-11. I vehemently disagree with him. But it also did lead to the debacle in Iraq and the entire accusation of weapons of mass destruction, which we'll talk about later. So the worst of the three was Nora Slacken. And he goes on to talk about, it was crazy.

32:41 One day when he reported for duty, he heard the gory details of a CIA security protective officer who made the mistake of stopping Slotkin in asking for her CIA badge, which no matter who you are, where you are, and it was the same with the Pentagon, if you don't have your badge showing, you will be stopped. She eviscerated the person in public in the middle of the hallway.

33:10 yelling at the top of her voice, how dare you? Do you not know who I am and how important I am? That was basically the quote. So in December 1996, CIA Director Deutsch was accused of taking his CIA laptop home and connecting it to an unsecure site on the internet. Again, you're not allowed to do that.

33:37 The investigations revealed the charges were true, but of course, Clinton's attorney general, Janet Reno, announced in a letter to the director of CIA, George Tenet, that she was not going to prosecute Deutsch for compromising national security. During the Clinton administration, Kevin Schiff was the manager at CIA headquarters in Langley and saw firsthand how the agency had been ruined. Agents were resigning in droves and going into private industry.

34:05 The new seventh floor management directed a huge demographic shift in the employee population. It was basically the precursor to diversity, equity, and inclusion. There was a descent into anarchy at the CIA, which led to hostile working conditions for basically everyone. Agents took assignments in the field just to get out of the headquarters. There was a freeze on any types of awards.

34:36 And the only exception was made for these new people who basically were people they were cultivating to replace anyone that wasn't going to play along. Former CIA officer Bob Baer, B-A-E-R, wrote about these problems in a book called See No Evil, describing how the agency would spend more money on changing the demographics of the workforce and sexual harassment workshops.

35:05 than on fighting terrorism. CIA positions once required passing the equivalent of a graduate records exam with a 3.0 or better, but that began being adjusted for their new equity hires. Senator Robert Torselli, the ethically challenged politician from New Jersey, who in 2002 would receive a formal letter of admonishment from the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee,

35:35 for accepting improper gifts from a campaign donor would do enormous damage to the CIA during the Clinton administration. Torricelli would begin by making a number of unsubstantiated claims regarding the CIA's involvement in the death of an American hotel owner, Michael Devine, and a Guatemalan guerrilla named Ephraim B. Becker Velasquez.

36:02 Tortoiselli's tirade would lead to the Clinton administration issuing an order dictating that no CIA officer could have any contact for any reason with a foreign national who might be involved in human rights violations. In other words, you can't talk to the bad guys. So the place was in open revolt and seasoned station chiefs and case officers would boo.

36:31 or break out in open laughter as Deutch tried to hold meetings at the headquarters. So literally a revolt going on. As a counterterrorism center officer, Kevin Shipp quickly ran afoul with this new policy. Undercover in the Middle East, I identified and met several times with a man that he refers to in this book called Akeem. He was clearly...

37:03 connected to terrorism, and occupied a high position in a terrorist group. But perhaps most importantly, he was able to utilize an unsuspected weakness in our systems to get close to many U.S. Embassy personnel without their knowledge. He was a trained killer. Kevin Shipp was focused on trying to protect his fellow CIA agents overseas. I think he'd want to save American lives, he replied.

37:34 When asked about why he was talking to him. So he basically got in trouble for trying to protect Americans by talking to this guy. And that's when they basically sit him on a quote unquote deployment where he was going to be face to face with this Iranian.

38:06 who was a trained assassin. Kevin believes that he was sent on that assignment as a way to eliminate him. For some reason, the Iranian assassin didn't assassinate him. So he goes on to talk about a Czechoslovakian dissident and later president of the country once wrote.

38:35 You do not become a dissident just because you decide one day to take up the most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility combined with a complex set of circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well and ends with you being branded an enemy of the state. That's basically the situation that Kevin finds himself in.

39:05 And he becomes a briefer. And during that time, he was basically given increased clearance and was able to see much more information. And also who in other organizations in the United States government that they were interfacing with. He talks about.

39:35 the fact that they had CIA people embedded in the FBI, the DEA, and the Department of State, as well as the Department of Defense. So it says that his first wake-up call was in 1995, where he was an officer in the CIA's Office of Security performing an internal investigation on a sensitive CIA operation that was taking place overseas.

40:07 That's when they develop, he goes into detail with what we were just talking about, about there being a weakness in the embassy computer system that might potentially enable the enemies to identify CIA officers. He drafted a report. He tried repeatedly to have this report briefed in the CIA. What happens next is he submitted it to

40:35 The office, which would have generally been that female slotkin that everybody called the dragon queen, they would respond to him that it was lost or that they didn't receive it. He submitted it three times electronically. Finally, he prints it off and he walks it into that office, only to be told again that they didn't get it. So now this is a guy who's identified the potential, but...

41:04 What he comes to find out is they want that vulnerability in their system because that's how they'll get rid of their own people. So if they want to, they didn't want anybody to know this vulnerability existed. Well, he ends up going over to the State Department and briefs over there through some backdoor channels. So he knows somebody that's over at the State Department and he gets.

41:32 that person to get him on the schedule of someone at the State Department. They go over with, he wasn't even going to tell the CIA he was going. Unfortunately for him, when he gets to the meeting, someone in the State Department had told the leadership at the CIA and one of them are sitting there and he goes ahead and gives the briefing and he identifies.

41:55 that this is a problem. It's not just a problem for CIA officers because the CIA officers are all embedded in the State Department embassies. So it is also a problem for the State Department. And what he comes to find out is they wanted this vulnerability there. So if a CIA agent that they want dead gets killed overseas, then they're able to use that vulnerability. Oh my God, look at this.

42:24 We had no idea this system was compromised. And that's how they found out that this particular CIA agent was among the CIA agents deployed to that area. That's how nefarious the CIA is. They leave open the door to assassinating their own people, which we know this to be true because we've talked about the one in Greece quite a bit. And they were going to then use this quote unquote vulnerability.

42:53 And they were going to claim they didn't know about it when, in fact, they knew about it. They knew about it the entire time. And they didn't want anybody else to know about it. So that's crazy shit. Okay. He moves on to Chapter 3, which is called The Curious Case of Alvin Bernard. He went by the name Buzzy. Krongard. K-R-O-N-G-A-R-D.

43:28 The Shark Puncher. And I think just for ease of continuity that we probably ought to save this one. I will not be here at the normal scheduled time. If I can work in a show earlier in the day tomorrow, I will. But I promised my husband that I am going to a car show with him tomorrow that starts at 4.30. So I am not going to be here at our regularly scheduled time.

43:58 Again, tomorrow morning, if I'm able to work in a show, I will give you guys an hour or two heads up and I will try to do one at noon. So tentatively pencil in noon as a show and we will go through this next chapter because it's a blockbuster chapter. And I want to leave enough time for.

44:22 more questions and answers today because there's so much crap going on. And I know you guys like to talk about the news of the day as well. So we're going to go ahead and open up the floor because that was a lot of information. This book is crazy in what it reveals. So, Illini. Hi, Colonel. Good afternoon. I've pinned something down in the purple pill. I'll put it up in the nest. Obviously,

44:59 We covered a lot of subject material today. One of the subjects that we talked about was Alexander Haig's relationship with Bob Woodward. There's Nixon tapes. And then, of course, I've been kind of reading some of this material along with you, and they reference a book called Silent Coup.

45:26 that came out in like 92 or 94 by two journalists. And there's some interesting stuff on it. Number one, they didn't have access to all of the classified Nixon tapes when they wrote it back in the early 90s. So there's a little bit of extra information in the Nixon tapes today that if people really want to, they can start digging for it.

45:54 But the interesting thing is, is Nixon is in meetings with Alexander Haig, with Zeigler, with Buzz Hart, with Haldeman, like the really deep, dark stuff, you know, about how to handle the Watergate defense. You know, he kind of leaves just for Haldeman.

46:13 But he's talking, you know, how are we going to deal with the Huston plan, you know, to basically do like domestic wiretapping on people and all kinds of, you know, constitutionally subversive stuff? You know, and Haggis is just sitting there listening. He's sitting there listening to Nixon talking about, you know, how are we going to deal with, you know, these Woodward and Bernstein articles?

46:45 And it's kind of funny listening to that soft-spoken voice in the room without Nixon realizing that Woodward was Haig's brief. Yes. And those tapes probably deserve another look. But it's interesting that Haig is in there listening to how Nixon is going to plot his Watergate defense. Well, potentially he's one of Woodward's sources.

47:13 Yeah, I think it's unequivocal that he's one of the sources. Yeah. And then there's kind of some more stuff to back up some of the allegations in that book. First off, I think Woodward tried to sue the two authors for libel. And it kind of got thrown out. And then he tried to convince another lady to sue them. And this played out in like 2001 or so. And they took it all the way to the jury. The jury found in favor of the author, said that...

47:44 that the information presented in the book was factually true. So that really kind of bolsters this whole book. Yes. I ordered a copy of it. Now I've got to read it. The Silent Coup? Yeah, I have it in my to-read pile. I have not read it. And I bought it when I read this book because he uses it so often.

48:13 And yeah, I agree with you. And I was so glad I was looking down through the audience, hoping you were going to be here today because this is right in your wheelhouse with so much of the information that you have researched on your own. Yeah, it's and I think it goes to a bigger picture, which, you know, this has always been a puzzle to me. There's a few of the windows.

48:42 that are still gray to me. Nixon is a gray window to me. He was not clean, but he also wasn't dirty as in the Eastern establishment part of this international syndicate dirty. And he's an enigma to most of the people there. And again, you have to understand there's a lot of shades of gray in this.

49:12 And I find it interesting. You guys know that Roger Stone is a huge Nixon fan. And Roger Stone has his own eclectic way of handling things. But he is a huge Nixon proponent. He talks about him almost in a lovingly, very respectful way. He was involved with Nixon.

49:39 And he definitely, I'm paraphrasing this, he definitely views Nixon as a victim of the system while not acknowledging Nixon's own involvement in many nefarious activities. And that's the reason why I've been asked so many times, what happened to Nixon? Well, Nixon was clearly cued by the CIA.

50:08 That does not mean that he's a victim because at the same time, he was doing some fairly nefarious things as well. Yeah, it's interesting. I'm willing to buy the narrative that there was a conspiracy and then there was a conspiracy around the conspiracy or in the conspiracy. It's kind of like if you run into enough stuff after a while.

50:40 You know, it's not necessarily shocking. The key is trying to prove what happened. That's really the key. And we may find ourselves in a situation where we decide that, you know, Woodward was probably in on a lot of stuff, you know, and Nixon had his own issues going on.

51:07 But, you know, we it may come back kind of inconclusive on a lot of stuff. And that's the point that I want to make. They can both be bad. One can be less bad, but they can both be bad. And two bads don't make a good in this situation. Do you have some sympathy for Nixon because the CIA cued him? You should because the CIA should not be able to get rid of a president.

51:35 The main stickler for me, and it has always been this, Nixon during his vice presidency with Eisenhower was part of the national security apparatus that did some very nefarious things in Guatemala, in Iran, and various other areas. And so he never once...

52:06 talked publicly about those types of things that were done covertly. He went along with the lies. That does not make him a good guy. I mean, forever until a lot of the declassification happened, no one knew about the CIA's role in the coup in Iran. They didn't know about the Guatemalan coup.

52:35 They didn't know a lot about the clandestine activities of the CIA. And Nixon, I'm sure he thinks in hindsight, maybe he should have been more aggressive, but he didn't do anything to take apart that capability of the CIA by exposing their nefarious things when he did become president.

52:59 As far as foreign policy, he did pursue detente with the Soviet Union and China, and that was sabotaged. That was sabotaged by Haig and Woodward and a whole bunch of other people embedded in his administration that carried that information back to the CIA, which clearly prompted, at least was part of the prompt, to remove him from office because they could not have their plans derailed.

53:30 One more piece of information on Bob Woodward. There's a bunch of allegations from Sherman Skolnick, who is the head of the Citizens Committee to clean up the courts. And he got a number of judges in Illinois impeached back in the 60s. How true they are, I don't know. But Bob Woodward was the son of Alfred Bernstein.

54:01 the DuPage County chief judge. And there was, you know, a bunch of allegations about Alfred Bernstein and his ruling on this case called equity funding, which they're claiming has, which Skolnick claims has a tie to Leon Jaworski in all of it. I don't know how true all of that is. I can't vet that part. But what is clear is that he did actually rule.

54:29 In that case in 73, and it was a big insurance bankruptcy. So it's it is interesting. You know, Bob Woober does come from an interesting family. They all do. Right. I'm just again, I'm I'm amazed at the network. You you have to be in awe of the network. They're all related to each other in some way.

55:01 SR-71. Thank you, Colonel, and thank everyone for attending and everyone out on Rumble. I'm looking at Woodward, and I see Woodward more as a conduit and Hague the driving force as to what's going on, along with a few other characters. I don't see Woodward as one who's pressing for certain changes.

55:33 or certain things to happen. I see him more as nothing but, okay, yeah, I agree with this. We'll go ahead and do that. He's being pushed. He's not being his own person in this, if that makes any sense. So I do not see him as simply a conduit. Had he only been a conduit, he would have not been a party to the exposure and lying.

56:05 of the deep throat and the he was an active part of the coup he is the one that was writing he had and he's hired with no experience at all as a junior washington post person in order to put all of this information out in the public as an active part of a coup so he was not just a conduit um

56:31 If you just are a conduit and you think you're doing what is right, you again, you can't as a member of the Navy, you cannot undermine the authority of the commander in chief. And that's what he was doing. He was actively undermining the commander in chief. That's treason. So I'm going to push back on that really hard.

57:01 I agree with what you're saying, Colonel. However, where I'm looking at this from that standpoint, that implies to me Woodward must have had some personal beef with Nixon. And I have not seen that yet. I don't think you have to have a personal beef. These people are part of a club.

57:29 When you're part of this club, it's like being in a cult. And you send these people out as your minions in order to do the job that you want them to do. And he was a willing participant in this cult of corruption and basically committed treason, in my opinion. Southern, go ahead. Colonel, while we're on this subject, could I raise one thing? Sure.

58:03 You know, if you have to take a look at the context of this, too, this is 70. This is like 72, 73, 72 when the allegations are coming out, you know, about Watergate and everything. The natural person to have gone to at the Washington Post right at that point in time would have been Jack Anderson. Yeah. If this were a natural story. Yes.

58:29 You would have taken it to Jack Anderson because he had just exposed the whole ITT files thing. Yes. And he was he wrote the Washington merry-go-round. He was, you know, the he was like the Matt Taibbi of Washington, D.C. back in the 60s and 70s. And.

58:53 He was all over exposing Nixon and all of this stuff. If this had been a natural story, he would have taken it to Jack Anderson. And, you know, he would have had, you know, Brit Hume, you know, helping him on this. And it would have just been a very natural story with no limited hangout. Instead, it goes to this recently hired kid from the Navy with intelligence background who was a briefer for Alexander Haig. So that's very interesting.

59:19 No, and that is an excellent point that I didn't even think about. You are absolutely right. The problem with Jack Anderson is Jack Anderson was not going to necessarily slant and create the limited hangout, which is obviously what they wanted. And that is the reason why it went to. And that, again, that bolsters the argument that Bob Woodward.

59:49 was an active participant in a coup. Southern, go ahead. Southern? Hello? Can you take her down and bring her back up, Bridget? Yes, ma'am. All along, go ahead. Hi, Claire, can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you. Okay, yeah, just in our Washington Post genealogy, God help us, I think it's worthwhile remembering...

1:00:32 You know, the relevance, possible relevance of the of the Phil Graham murder of August 3rd, 63. And then, you know, as as everyone knows, the daughter of the owner gets the paper and that's Catherine Graham. So that also is a completely CIA core journalist at the very epicenter of The Washington Post who had just helped kill her husband, who was possibly, you know.

1:01:02 A dangerous loose cannon. Had he still been alive during the JFK assassination? Again, that was three months before the Dallas CIA domestic coup. OK, and then she is like Mrs. Watergate, you know, with Ben Bradley and Ben Bradley. She reportedly was a fan of Ben Bradley's forearms. Not that there's anything wrong with that. OK, and so why does this matter, perhaps?

1:01:32 You know, you already had the core guy, Joe Alsop, who was, you know, you can't, you've mentioned him a million times. Yeah. But you can't overstate his importance. I mean, I would argue he's probably the single most important CIA Operation Mockingbird dude. He is the one, again, who is calling up LBJ and says, you're going to have this Warren Commission thingy. He's the one who just saws off the Texas AG wagon or car.

1:02:02 And says, it's not going to be in Texas. He does the whole, you know, he sounds like a British person in hot weather on that famous call with LBJ and Wagoner Carr. And very significantly, LBJ barely says a word, you know. And it's just like, yes, master. LBJ is clearly aware that he is talking to, you know, the larynx of the friggin CIA here. Right. So then later, you know, when seeing Watergate in that context.

1:02:32 You get Jack Anderson is mentioned in that relates also to another, you know, very, very core guy. Arguably, this guy is my only possible, you know, challenge to also pass the leading CIA dude, which would be Drew Pearson, who, you know, as as you know, and I'm sure knows he he was the founder of the Washington merry-go-round.

1:02:59 And so Jack Anderson is like his apprentice and takes over for from Drew Pearson. And, you know, Drew Pearson, of course, writes an incredibly, incredibly interesting volume two of his diaries. He's basically like I've told you before. I mentioned this before where he's like he talks about the impact of the Phil Graham speak in speech.

1:03:29 In January 63, where he just grabs the mic and says all this shit about the CIA and the U.S. media. And then an Air Force jet comes to strap him in. That was like six to seven months before he is murdered because he gets out of the Maryland Mental Institute. And then he goes to the Maryland farmhouse and where he's like buys the farm as or as it were. And then they took his name, you know. So.

1:03:58 What's the point here? Hold on. Let me connect these dots if possible. Basically, Jack Anderson is a very, very curious and intriguing figure. A lot of folks see him as kind of playing definitely a limited hangout role. His famous 1967 articles

1:04:29 relating to the JFK injuries and Fidel Castro, some of that is perceived as kind of fishy. And given his tutelage under Drew Pearson, who I sometimes joke as being the other Drew Pearson in the Dallas end zone, because Drew Pearson also, the other thing in his diary, I'm sorry to mix this up here, but very intriguingly, the editor of his volume two set just flat out admits it,

1:04:58 Like three months, right? Starting the day before the RFK assassination, it's just ripped out of his diaries. And the editor of volume two admits that they're just ripped out. And so also significantly about Drew Pearson is we're losing you all along. Oh, OK. Sorry. That's enough. But what I'm trying to just say is that, yeah, Jackie Anderson's.

1:05:26 earlier relationship with these key CIA figures is very significant if we are to evaluate, you know, what he says. I'm not vouching for any of the reporters, but I do think that Jack Anderson as Illini has a valid point that you would have taken the major story of the decade if not, I mean, second to JFK.

1:05:54 um of the lap that half of the the century to a seasoned reporter it would not have went to somebody that you just brought on board unless the whole reason you brought yeah i agree i agree with that point yeah i agree with that point yeah absolutely so i just looked at the dates of the articles and the itt saga which he's he's willing to point the finger at mccone he's willing to point the finger at the cia he's he's willing to involve chile

1:06:22 That was March 29th, 1972. And I think by April, the Senate is already holding the ITT hearings. And you've got the Nixon tapes where they're all panicking about it. And, you know, Jack Anderson is writing article after article after article about Nixon's ITT and how he's getting all these bribes for his campaign.

1:06:48 And like ITT probably should have brought like if ITT had happened to Trump today or this day of coups and stuff like that and false flags and everything else, that probably would have been, you know, that could have been the end of the Nixon administration right there. But if they had just given, you know, you know, on top of that, they've just given Jack Anderson.

1:07:14 who was going after Nixon, who was willing to go after the CIA, and who was probably willing to go after the Cubans in all of this, if they had given him the Watergate scandal, I think that probably would have been a mistake through the heart of the administration right there. Yeah. Yeah, I don't disagree. Carl, go ahead. Hey, Colonel. So question, the slotkin that was mentioned in the book, that's the same senator, right? The new senator as of this year? I don't know.

1:07:43 Hold on, let me go back. If it is, I'll tell you why I thought that was interesting. So if it is, apparently she has a degree from Columbia in international relations, which is always a red flag, right? But also, it's like all of a sudden she comes out of nowhere and seems to be the attack dog of the left now. I just think that's interesting. And, you know, being CIA, you know, I wonder. That's a good point. Let me go back and I'll look at that.

1:08:14 Thank you for bringing that up. I don't think they spell the name the same, but I'll look that up while we go to SR-71. Go ahead. Thank you, Colonel. I did look up Nora Slotkin, and I put some stuff in the pill about her and what she's up to and her deal with the CIA.

1:08:45 And you're right. She spells her name S-L-A-T-K-I-N. So I don't know what the other spell is. Oh, that's different. Yeah, it's different. Never mind. I still think the other one's interesting. Now, given everything she did in the CIA, she is now, she's the lead treasury officer for North America Consumer Bank, parent company and regulator at Citigroup. Based in where?

1:09:15 Stanford, Connecticut. Are you kidding me? No, ma'am. I'm not kidding you. Wow. So interestingly enough, she also has a degree, to Carl's point, in international relations. She also got a master's degree from Georgetown University, which is a CIA hotbed, of course, in foreign policy.

1:09:42 Oh, dear God. She was the assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition. And just so that you guys know what that is, that those are the people that work directly with DARPA and companies like Battelle in order to do all of the intelligence stuff that is like 20 years in the future. So this bitch gets around.

1:10:05 Okay, so she is knee deep in all of this crap. And then she's brought on by Deutsch in order to leverage. And again, she would have been there at least during some of the time based on these dates when the Task Force 157 was going on and very likely would have been, holy crap. Oh, I need to go back and check them dates. Holy shit.

1:10:35 So she would have been read in on Task Force 157. Holy crap. She probably is the. Oh, my gosh. All right. I'm definitely going to have to research that because that's freaking crazy. All right. Let's go on down a little bit more. Webster Colonel is another one that if you take a look at him. Oh, yeah, I have. He's done.

1:11:03 has been involved with intelligence, every bit of it. So Deutch recommended her for the job at Citibank. And Citibank, as you guys may well know, is one of the conduits for CIA money laundering, like in a big way. Citigroup is also the organization where a bunch of the Philippine gold was stashed. Citigroup is the Citibank.

1:11:34 part of Citigroup, is where the heir to the billions of dollars in gold deposits on deposit at Citibank, when she went with all of her legal paperwork saying, hey, I want...

1:11:53 my dad's money out of here she had everything she met with the president of Citibank and the next day they transferred her gold down to the Bahamas and then basically claimed ignorance and this would have been um holy crap this is crazy so she ends up okay all right yeah that makes all of the sense in the world thank you for posting that um SR71

1:12:22 That's amazing. That's absolutely amazing. I definitely have to check her dates out of when she was with the Navy versus the Task Force 157. That's freaking crazy. Okay, let me get back to the hands. Southern, did you still have something? Can you talk now? Can you hear me now? Yes, I can hear you now. Okay, thank you.

1:12:49 I had a question because Felt was FBI and Moore and, oh, God, what's his name? They were the military control with the issues. Yeah, Moore and Radford Affair when they were going through Nixon's problems with China and Russia. Who's CIA in the Watergate?

1:13:19 Because Felt is FBI. The others are military. That would have been Helms at least at the beginning of it, but I think they went through a couple of CIA directors. Helms until 73. Was it Schlesinger? No. It was Colby who replaced Helms in 73. I don't know off the top of my head. I think it was Colby who replaced Helms in 73.

1:13:47 Okay. Yeah, I just realized, you know, to be a CIA director, it's a hot seat. Be ready to vacate at any time based on the 10 years are so short. So short, which is interesting. My question is, I agree with Ilan on talking about Jack Anderson.

1:14:14 in relationship as an analogy for our time is Matt Tahibi. And I just wanted to educate you what happened to him. He's actually more on the left, but he also writes the truth and he hears both sides. He doesn't trust when people come to him with something because they have an agenda. He's a very straightforward, honest person.

1:14:40 who was harassed and blackballed from all social media for six years by Adam Schiff. And Elvis, I can't remember his last name, FBI agent where Twitter was originally located. That is how terrible the Democrat Party is because he figured out.

1:15:03 who the whistleblower was. And it was such a low-rank, fourth-time-heard message that it had no value whatsoever and blocked him for six years. Can you imagine? In our world? So when Elon bought Twitter, he brought in Matt Tahibi, Mike Schallenberger, and I can't remember the girls, the ladies' name, Barry something, and gave them...

1:15:30 Yes, and gave them different areas of all the tweets and everything and found out that Jim Baker was still cc'd on every email and Matt Tahibi caught it. How the CIA was actually inside legally, taking them to lunch every day, calling them every day to tell them what they could and couldn't do. And they were doing that with all social media.

1:15:58 And so when people say, I can't believe this stuff happened in the past, look at today. Look what's going on today. So Schlesinger is the person that was in after Helms. And Schlesinger has all of his own baggage as well. He was the Secretary of Defense.

1:16:29 Yeah, he's a mess. He was only there for a few months, though. And then he was followed by Vernon Walters. So we went from one bad one to another bad one to another bad one. And Vernon Walters, because he was the deputy, was only in there as acting. And then William Colby came in. So, yeah.

1:17:04 And in the middle of all of this, like Schlesinger, you know, he was at Rand and all kinds of different things. And just so that we can talk about the show I just did with Warhamster today. Schlesinger is a graduate of the Horace Mann School. We were just talking about that. That's a prep school.

1:17:34 and then went to Harvard. So this is very much part of this whole group of these people and how they intermix with each other. So it all dovetails into, we're exposing the international syndicate and their operatives on how they control everything.

1:18:00 Because it's always the same people, always the same organizations, always the same schools. So these people are groomed from the time that they are in elementary school through high school and then in the colleges that they go to, blah, blah, blah. All along, go ahead. Yeah, Colonel, I think in just overviewing those heads of CIA in there between like 73 until 76, when H.W. Bush becomes president,

1:18:33 You know, the head of CIA while pretending he wasn't always working for the CIA, which we definitely know he was. It's just it's it's worth noting, you know, just how many how short and how many different heads of CIA there are in that short period of time, which which overlaps with Watergate, you know, or what is called Watergate, you know, pretty directly. And, you know, whereas Helms had been there from 66.

1:19:03 until 1973 but had also been replacing Bissell before then you get a lot of kind of change there that is significant and then of course one of those guys in that very short period is Mr. Colby as head of CIA which his conflict with Angleton

1:19:33 It's perhaps significant there. You know, a lot of people have sort of suggested that there was a conflict with Angleton. Angleton is, you know, retires in 74. Finally, you know, he's with some resistance as the way I've heard it. And Colby was in many ways kind of a rival of his. And some believe he may have spoken.

1:20:06 To to Congress, too, frankly. And so there may have been some resistance, some anger about Colby there. And of course, we know what happens to Colby in, you know, drowning as a, you know, as a Jedberg in one foot of canoe water in Maryland. So I guess it must have been a dynamic foot of canoeing water that that that took his life. But the other thing I wanted to say is I think Carl mentioned.

1:20:36 You know, this other Michigan slutkin is like it's to me, I think it's what's worth noting here is, you know, just how kind of long and gradual the influence of CIA in Congress has been increasing. I mean, to the point where slutkin, you know, gave the response to the State of the Union address and just and no one even batted an eye.

1:21:05 That this is a, quote, former, unquote, CIA agent. And that's how there are many, many senators now in and almost all of them are Democrats in the Senate who are former CIA, quote, former CIA now. And it's just it just reminds us of how gradual this boiling frogs process has been. I mean, you know, an older folk person might remember who.

1:21:33 remembers the 70s and contrasts it with now is going to be able to say, you know, what the hell? Is this not a problem? Is this not a conflict of interest? But for most people, you know, 40 and under or maybe 50 and under, I mean, they've seen it so long and so incrementally that now you even have the response of the State of the Union given by basically the CIA and no one bats an eye. I mean, we have to, in my opinion,

1:22:03 We have to get loud about those three letters. They've almost been excommunicated from our alphabet. That's how infrequently you see them mentioned in the media, including the so-called alternative media. And it's just like, wow, CIA has just boiled frogs to such a degree that nobody even types CIA anymore. It's stunning. Well, thank you for noticing that. The one exception to that, not that I have.

1:22:33 Any large audience, I have a dedicated audience, is me. I will talk about them all day, every day. And I do. And I think that, and I have noticed that where people put the C and then the, like literally the, what do you call it? The I, not the capital I, but an I, an A.

1:23:01 And why would you do that? Are you afraid of your own government? That, to me, is one of the most telling parts of this entire story. If you don't have the backbone to speak out about your own government, you are a panty waste. That's all there is to it. SR-71, go ahead. Thank you, Colonel. Just to add on to some of this here, and I'm looking at...

1:23:31 A little bit of what we're going to talk about tomorrow concerning Alvin Bernard. I'll let you deliver the double barrels. But I'm seeing, and maybe it's a coincidence here, but typically when we talk about the CIA, we tend to talk about the people in charge. In other words, we go to the head honcho. And if you look at Norris Lutkin, she was the third ranking official. Guess who Alvin Bernard is?

1:24:02 The third ranking official. Plausible deniability. Just saying. Well, what you oftentimes find and they, you know, they refer to them as like the chief of staff or whatever. They're gatekeepers. They actually run the organization. That's the critical part of this.

1:24:23 They're the gatekeeper for what gets into the director and what doesn't. And that was the point that he was trying to make in the chapter that we just finished is that he had identified a physical security threat in their electronic IT system. And he was gate kept away from the director in bringing that information to him. That's their function.

1:24:52 Yes, that is a very good analogy to point out. And you will always find that whoever that gatekeeper is, whether it's the chief of staff at the White House or whatever, they play critical roles in the cover-up, in the plausible deniability of all of it. So, great point.

1:25:18 And to, I think it was Illini or all along that made the point about the frequent changes throughout the early 70s. Now, what's really important about that is the leading up to the hearings that were going to go on in the middle 1970s, the frequent changes.

1:25:49 of the CIA director was critical in the ability to hide information because now you're three directors away from the people that perpetrated the event. And all of them, again, has plausible deniability now. And that could have had a lot to do with the frequent change in the...

1:26:18 The what would I say? The purposeful allowing a deputy to ascend to the acting director and then be replaced by someone else and then replaced by someone else and then replaced by someone else. And then you get to Colby. And yeah, there was a whole big deal with Colby and him, quote unquote, saying too much.

1:26:47 Obviously. And the whole Angleton thing, he was implicated in all of the commissions. He was an integral player in the whole Cuban fiasco. He was an integral player in all of the Gladio style coups that were going on that was exposed. And he was basically there. There was the unwritten knowledge that he had to go and he was not going to his his.

1:27:16 coveted position was to be the director and all of his former mentors in the intelligence industry had a significant influence on who became the director and he became too hot of a lightning rod to ever be the director and so he takes this long road out of about a year and we're going to find

1:27:44 out more about him, by the way, because this guy has an encounter with him. And he realizes that he's never going to get his prized position, which was the director. And I think along the way, he did a lot of what he did under the understanding that if he did it, he was going to be destined to be the director. But because of Colby,

1:28:11 And what Colby and not that it directly was Colby. It was a retelling of what Angleton had really done while in the agency. But that disclosure made him too hot to handle to ever be the director. And he knew that. So, yeah, he was on his way out. But Angleton was one of the guys that was involved in the taking of Edwin Wilson's company.

1:28:41 and setting him up to go to jail so they could have his company to use in the off books CIA, the enterprise. Angleton was involved in that. So this all ties together with everything that we've, and again, it's the reason why I wanted to do the book because it ties in and it is firsthand information from a guy on the inside.

1:29:09 that is going to basically prove to everybody, not that I need to prove it. We've had sources for everything that we've talked about, but it does wrap it up in a nice bow as far as I'm concerned from someone who's on the inside telling his story of what was done to him. And it goes along and basically reinforces everything that we've disclosed to date. So I think that's critical. Okay. Anybody else? Illini, go ahead. Colonel.

1:29:43 How much time? I think this book gets into 9-11 a little bit. Do you anticipate spending a lot of time on that or not? I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it. I'm going to talk about it as part of the book. Okay. There might be an interesting tie-in from Indira Singh that goes into Gladio. She didn't necessarily realize that she stumbled on it.

1:30:13 A potentially interesting tie-in there. Who is she? She was an enterprise risk management consultant at J.P. Morgan who consulted directly to the corporate board. So she was basically in charge of IT risk there. And she basically tried to set policy. And she encountered a...

1:30:40 basically a risk management analytics software that covered that. And basically the company ran the gamut from the FAA to city group to JP Morgan. And, and there were some, so they had their fingers in some pretty big pies and there were some problems that she, she encountered simply by doing her job. Right. And, and she gave an interview to, if people want to,

1:31:09 She gave an interview to Guns N' Butter, a radio show about 20 years ago. The issues that she uncovered. She managed to whistleblow over two things. The first was she lived in downtown Manhattan, in lower Manhattan during 9-11.

1:31:37 And there were issues around the dust. And then the other thing was this technology firm, this small technology firm that she ran into. And what's her name? Indira Singh. I-N-D-I-R-A, like Indira Gandhi. And then Singh, S-I-N-G-H. Okay. Because I need to go and find the clip.

1:32:06 I was just on a show last night or yesterday afternoon after we got done on a short notice request from a guy that I've been on show before. And that architect guy by the name of Gage was there that basically blew the whole structural demolition.

1:32:34 He has done extensive work on proving that all of the three towers were brought down. And I had the chance to talk to him for a little bit. And he actually knew about Operation Gladio, which just blew me away.

1:32:54 He provided some really interesting information. It wasn't a long conversation. It's towards the end of the show. So I'm going to repost that when we get off. I would encourage you guys to go to watch the whole show. But pay attention to our conversation because our conversation was very interesting. And he is sending me some additional information about it.

1:33:23 which of course I will share with you, Illini. I'll share it with everybody, but I will need to definitely get it to Illini as he builds his case against, or a case about how to approach this topic with proof and references on how the whole thing happened.

1:33:47 He's an amazing man and very interesting to talk to. So I was privileged to be on the show, even though it was last minute. Again, it was just a fascinating conversation. And I hope to be able to get to talk to him again at length because I would love to know what he knows about Operation Gladio. So anyway, okay. So I think we've got everything covered.

1:34:14 And again, I'm planning on having a show at noon tomorrow as long as everything works out. And I will keep in contact with you guys as I always do. And then we will not be having a four o'clock show tomorrow. But I will post pictures at the car show tomorrow night. Our downtown, the first Friday of every month has a car show. They close the entire downtown area.

1:34:44 all of the shops and everybody there, there's like booths all along the closed streets. And then they use two of the streets for old cars. And I will post some pictures about that because it's a lot of fun. And I've promised my husband, he's so generous in allowing me to do all of this stuff that occasionally I do go to car shows with him and I will be taking my Supra to the car show. So lots of pictures of that too. Anyway.

1:35:13 Thanks everybody for being here. I appreciate everybody. And please repost this space. We are being so... It's funny because there's some days where our numbers are off the charts. It's like somebody forgot to squash us down. And then like the last three days has been absolutely horrible. And I...

1:35:41 Again, I don't pretend to know why. It's not because I don't post stuff. I post all the time, as you guys know. But it's just a weird thing. But it's been noticeable the last three days. So I really need everybody to go find something on my thread and repost it, respond to it, do something. Because once you guys do that, it breaks the algorithm. And then we're fine for like a week. And then it starts happening again.

1:36:10 I don't claim to know what it is, but it's very noticeable if you look at the chart. And Kernel also just liking it helps the algorithm as well. It helps it a lot. Yeah. To get more activity, not just having to comment, but just, you know, doing the little heart buttons is always good too. I just want to ask Illini. She's the one that was at, she was at JPMorgan Chase.

1:36:38 uh indira it was the promise software that led her to pt tech which uncovered cia and al-qaeda and all that mess so i actually saw that i don't think that was it promised software i thought it was p-tech

1:36:54 Well, P-TECH, they worked with P-TECH, and I remember Promise as well. Because when you said Indira and you were talking about that, that clicked in my brain, but the Goldman Sachs wasn't working. She was at J.P. Morgan. But, yeah, she got fired when she went to her bosses to talk about this problem. But she has a voice. I hope she still has her voice out there. I think she may have.

1:37:23 I'm not sure she's still with us. This was 20 years ago. I know. I know. The lady was a marathon runner. But, you know, I remember after 9-11, everybody was saying that there were dangerous conspiracy theories about, you know, the air quality stuff and everything's fine. And then I remember, you know, working on Wall Street for the first time in 06 and talking with people who were there. And they were like, no, it's real.

1:37:53 The news said it was a conspiracy theory, but it was real. And she was one of the ladies who helped start some of that movement. I mean, cool lady. I'm not sure she's still with us because of some of the health effects or other stuff going on. I'm not sure. Yeah, the breathing was a big issue.

1:38:17 I was actually down there about six weeks after it happened. I was in town to see a medical client, and their CMO happened to be pulled out of a building to go down to triage for federal. So they worked with the fire department and the police officers.

1:38:37 And that gray stuff was still in the air. It's the most eerie thing. TV does not show it like real. It was a stunning picture in my head. I'll never forget. That's why I think you guys would enjoy that show that we did yesterday with Mr. Gage. And I will find that and post it for you guys. He talks about an eight track. One of the guys, the guy that was on just before me.

1:39:06 actually lived down there. And he talks about his experience and that smell. He said, you will never forget that smell as long as you live. No, you will not. You will not. You will not. Anyway. All right. Thanks, everyone. I will see you sometime tomorrow. Take care. Thank you, King Colonel. We love you. Thank you. Bye.
