I am going to cover three Operation Gladio videos. I consider them very important because they show how the Criminal Cartel creates the false reality we are now living in. These videos also make a good case that President Trump has been the target of a Gladio Operation since he came down the elevator. I know this is a long article and these three videos are long. However they are very important. Q was not kidding when he talked about the 16 year plan to destroy the USA.
For the first two videos I am just going to point out a few items. They provide more indepth info than the Redacted video.
OPERATION GLADIO – CHAPTER 64 – “OFFICE OF PUBLIC SAFETY 2.0”- EP.442
In this video Alpha & the Colonel bring the actual documents backing up what she says in the Redacted Operation Gladio primer. For example @ 1:05:00 they show the declassified documents that contain the actual USA Gladio stay-behind manual (FM31-21A from 1961) stamped for use by US Police Departments and National Guard Units. Chapters 7 – 9 reproduced verbatim EU Gladio Handbooks. There is also a syllabus. They are basically a copy of the Italian Gladio Field Manual #2 for use INSIDE THE USA!
They go thru the PEOPLE and how they are all connected and what actions they take. Well worth a listen. They also discuss Operation Garden Plot Wiki. Alpha, as a former police officer tells of his brush with this mess @ 1:10:00
Colonel: THE CIA MAKES ‘INTELLIGENCE’ UP TO JUSTIFY THE END STATE. [Desired outcome.]They do not nor have they ever actually generated REAL intelligence. They CRAFT intelligence for an end state. [For example Russiagate.]
OPERATION GLADIO – CHAPTER 66 – “OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING”- EP.448
In this second video, they build upon the information in the first and show how Ruby Ridge, Waco TX & the Oklahoma Bombing are related via the SAME actors and then go on to 9-11, the Vegas & Walmart Massacres and then Jan 6th. So yes, Operation Gladio is ALIVE AND ACTIVE IN THE USA.
14 minutes & 1:40:00 Ruby Ridge (Gun Owners), Waco TX (White Christians) & the Oklahoma Bombing (Veterans as Domestic Terrorists) All were False flags & you needed all three of those elements in order to pass the legislation that gets passed the next year in 1996. On the Anniversary of the Oklahoma Bombing, Clinton signs the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) (See Link) She then goes thru the list of FBI & DOJ personnel that overlap in all three False Flags. As well as tactical agents (snipers & such) and Informants.
1:40:35 FBI asked Randy Weaver to be an informant on the “White Nationalists” in Idaho. He said NO! Then they tried to set him up on gun charges to force him to be an informant. he said NO! So the nasty SOBs shot his wife and child in retaliation.
1:46:40 — 1:47:30 DOJ person in charge of National Security Division who was overseeing all of this was Assistant Attorney General for Intelligence Policy & Review, Frank Hunger. He signed off FBI firearm raid warrants, electronic wire taps requests & classified counter terrorism operations for all three. [includes more on this guy including a FISA for WACO.]

1:49:00 The Colonel and Alpha explain the set-up used in order to get the FISA for a domestic situation.
1:51:50 Alpha goes into the Jan 6th set-up.
The Colonel suggests an article at https://rielpolitik.com/ article by Stuart Webb who was married to Millman’s daughter .He is not some crazy guy. AND people who were helping him DID DIE.

I have taken the youtube transcript, cleaned it up and added links and some reference materials. I am not putting the entire transcript in quotes. The time stamps will serve instead. My comments and additions are in brackets. Outside sources are linked and in quotes.
TRANSCRIPT:
1:00: Clayton Morris: Operation Gladio WAS a Cold War-era NATO program that set up secret stay-behind armies across Europe. [At this point he does not realize these units are still alive and well AND the ‘Communist Threat’ propaganda was just a news talking point to cover up the over throw of governments that resisted the rape of their country by the transnational corporations.] Now it was originally intended, of course, to resist the Soviet invasion of these countries. But evidence later suggested, documents released a few decades ago that these units carried out false flag attacks, political manipulation, basically terrorist attacks as false flag attacks, raising serious questions about western covert operations. But this has been largely kept in the dark. But somebody who’s been on top of this story, has been exposing the lengths that Opweration Gladio went is Colonel Roxine Towner-Watkins.
0:40: He introduces Colonel Towner and NATO’s Operation Gladio.
2:30: Clayton Morris: What is Operation Gladio at its heart? Who put it in place? What years are we talking about? And what are the tentacles that reach into different parts of the US military?
2:30: Colonel Towner: So, if if I could step back in time prior to World War II, what I have I’ve read now over a hundred books that deal specifically with Operation Gladio. I had prior to this research project about 600 books in my library. All of them are non-fiction, military, general, biographies, state department. So, I had a very wide knowledge base and I stumbled across a couple of books um a trilogy by Anthony Sutton which talked about 👉the same group of oligarchs and bankers that funded the Bolshevik revolution, Hitler’s rise to power and FDR’s campaign👈 which again I had never learned in any of my education. And I felt that that was fairly intriguing.
3:50: And one of the reference in the footnotes was a book called The Third Way. And Joseph Ferrell talks about this manipulation of mass[es of] people to believe that there’s, and I’m going to use their terminology, a Left and a Right. And the Bolshevik Revolution gave us the left, i.e. communism. and Hitler gave us the right. And those two power structures have been used to create a third wave which kind of pushed people all over the world into the proverbial cattle cars to their own slaughter. I found this theory fascinating. Well,
4:30: In Joseph Frell book,he mentioned stay-behinds and he did it in a military context, which again, as a career military officer, I found fascinating because I’d never even heard the term. And so I began just look doing searches on the internet about staybehinds. I was dumbfounded at how much has been written about them by different authors.
5:00: So over the course of the last two and a half years, kind of if I could put it all in a nutshell so every one’s brain can wrap their head around it, what you had prior to World War II was a power structure of oligarchical com uh companies that had their own built-in paramilitary and intelligence functions. We knew them as like the British East and West Indies um and the Dutch East and West Indies, but they went around the world colonizing countries using their own intelligence and paramilitary. But after World War II, the entire globe put those functions in governments. So you have this intel intelligence apparatus that was set up after World War II. We created the CIA. West Germany created the BND. Korea um set up the KCIA. And they’re they’re all across the globe.
6:00: They were all trained and coordinated to operate together. There’s lots of names, but obviously Allan Dulles’s name comes up often in this network. On the military side, basically the same thing happened. So these oligarchs have outsourced something off their balance sheet to the taxpayers around the world.
6:40: What you find today is through the 1990s with the fall of the Soviet Union, a lot of that capability has been outsourced. [from the government to hide their actions from Congress & FOIA -GC] For example, the CIA has lots of independent intelligence fronts doing this work and the military has outsourced a lot of their functionality to contractors like Hallebertton and Blackwater in its current state. So you have if you start now tracing those outsourced entities back, you find the same oligarchs. So not only did they off book all of their operations to us taxpayers, we’re still footing the dime, but they’re getting rich off of these contracted out sources….
7:30: So they’re profiting off of the overthrows of governments. And they’re doing that to take the resources that they took as colonial powers while making it look like they’re saving the world from this boogeyman called communism or this boogeyman called Hitler or whatever. And that was the hardest part for me to wrap my head around. But that is what we’re looking at.
8:00: Clayton Morris: So just so I can understand exactly, the idea is the governments were offloading these operations to these stand behind armies that were really third party defense, you know, contractors, blackwater, etc. to basically rape and pillage the land, steal resources, but they get to do it under a third party, sort of an NGO rather than direct US military. This is still in existence today. We can see it in Somalia. We can see it in Syria. We’re there protecting Syria’s oil fields, right? We’re there to protect the Syrian people and their oil from themselves, right? So, this is still happening today, right? It is still happening today. So now that you have that picture in your mind, 👉It’s important to understand their mantra is to create chaos so they can control.👈
9:00: And my my wonderful husband who puts up with me doing all of this research, because I spend about 12 hours a day doing it. Um came in one day and he said, “Hey, do you remember that TV show we used to watch called Get Smart?” And I said, ‘Yeah.’ And he goes, “Well, do you remember what the name of the two organizations were?” And I said, “No.” And he said, “It was called Chaos and Control.” And I looked at him and I went, “Oh my god.” Because that is exactly what they do. They go in and create chaos with these stay-behind units, which I call terrorist organizations, and just as you did. And it is done to control the people in that particular area so that these oligarch vultures can come in and monopolize the resources.
10:00: So going back to the beginning there was a secret meeting that most people have never even heard of called Operation Sunrise. It was conducted before the World War II was even over and the main players on the US side were Allan Dulles and a man by the name of Major General Lyman Limitsker. I like to tell the story of Operation Gladio through the use of people because the same people keep coming up over and over again.
Clayton Morris: Please can you, for our audience, if they’re not familiar with Alan Dulles, can maybe you just briefly explain who he is?
Colonel Towner: So Allan Dulles is one of the elites from the northeast. His brother John Foster Dulles was Eisenhower’s Secretary of State. Allan Dulles was the CIA director. They worked for a law firm called Sullivan and Cromwell. Sullivan and Cromwell’s famous clients were many of these oligarchs that I’m talking about. Sullivan and Cromwell was instrumental in the United States taking over the rest of the building of the Panama Canal from France. There was some slight of hand because we were actually in the middle of building a Nicaraguan canal and this French company went bankrupt that had the charter to build the Panama Canal. Through some slight of hand, John Foster Dallas, on behalf of Sullivan and Cromwell, was deployed to Paris to take up that mantra. It’s a long story but it ended up with the United States taking over the rest of the building of the Panama Canal. And most people don’t even know that it started off as a French project. And they used French colonial slaves from Africa to do the work for the first 40% of the Panama Canal. Alan Dulles also worked at this same law firm. So they represent the interests of these oligarchs.
12:15: Now think about that for a second. In Eisenhower’s administration, you have one of the premier lawyers as your secretary of state for these oligarchs and the other guy is sitting as the CIA director. Do you think they’re working on behalf of the United States? No! They’re working on behalf of their clients, which is not the United States. It is these oligarchs. And you find that time and time again between the CIA and the Secretary of State.
You have, I think it’s like nine, either number two or number one at the Secretary of State that are from the Skull and Bone Secret Society at Yale. They go to Groten, a grooming school. They go to Yale. Then they end up at Harvard Law and then they go into the government. They don’t work for us. They work for these oligarchs.
Clayton Morris:The same Skull and Bones of course that George W. Bush was a part of, John Kerry was a part of this secret system.
Colone Towner: And where did John Kerry end up at? — the Secretary of State Where did George H. W. Bush end up? At the CIA.
Clayton Morris: And George W. Bush, who was also a member, president of the United States.
Colone Towner: It’s a pattern that keeps repeating itself.
13:30 Clayton Morris: So how widespread then would you say were Gladio’s stay-behind networks across NATO l and NATO countries and how involved was the US in their coordination? So we think of NATO after World War II all across Europe these armies sort of set up and structured how involved was the US in this disbursement and how widespread was it? What we talking thousands of people?
14:00: Colonel Towner: You’re talking tens of thousands of people, if not hundreds of thousands of people. So, let me go back to Operation Sunrise because it’s critical people understand why we ratlined Nazis out of Germany. It wasn’t just because of Operation Paperclip. They went all over the world, not just to the United States. This meeting with Alan Dulles and Lyman Lemnitzer was with a particular Nazi general by the last name of Wolff. That’s important because stay-behind units originally were called werwolf units in Germany under Hitler.
In Turkey today, they’re called greywolf units. That is another common denominator. So these werwolf units, as Hitler pushed into the Soviet Union, they were set up in Ukraine, which we still see today. Because the Ukrainian Nazi symbolism is directly related back to Bandera and Lebed and several other Nazis that were personally trained by Otto Scorzini who worked for both Reinhardt Galen and General Wolff. So the seeds of what we’re seeing in Ukraine today were bore out of these stay-behind units.
15:25: So Operation Sunrise was so important that basically Wolff bought his ,Galen’s and Otto Scorzini’s freedom out of either not being prosecuted at Nuremberg , –because Wolff and Galen was not and Otto Scorzeny stood trial, but he was found not guilty. Now this is a guy who trained all of the stay-behind Werwolf units in Nazi Germany. [Note that the CIA run WIKI down plays the werwolf units asserting historians say“ that the plan barely existed.” Google diverts the search to Werewolf. – GC] So in the aftermath of that [WWII] they flew Reinhardt Galen — and keep in mind he becomes the de-Nazified West Germany’s Allen Dulles counterpart at the what they call the BND — So he is in charge of their spy organization and Allan Dulles becomes in charge of the CIA. And they both orchestrated the spreading of the stay-behind units all over the world.
…
Otto Skorzeny from WIKI:
was an Austrian-born German SS-Standartenführer in the Waffen-SS during World War II. …he was charged in 1947 at the Dachau Military Tribunal.. He was allegedly an advisor to Argentinian president Juan Perón.[2][3] Skorzeny acted as an agent of Mossad, allegedly assisting with the execution of actions such as Operation Diamond….
…
16:15: I found them in Iran when we overthrew Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953. They were in Guatemala when we overthrew that government, the year after Operation Condor. Operation Condor is kind of the kissing cousin of Gladio in Latin America. They were scattered throughout all of Latin America. They’re all over Africa. They were all over Asia.
Clayton Morris: Who are these people though? Are they American soldiers?
Colonel Towner: They are the people that were scattered in all of these disparate places. So the concept was to take normal everyday citizens in a country. and I’ll specifically talk about Italy because as you mentioned in 1990 Italy was the only one that did an in-depth investigation. That’s the reason why this entire network is now referred to as Operation Gladio. Every country called it something else like in Portugal they called it Aginter Press and I mentioned Turkey they called it Greywolves.
17:15: The French version was OAS [Organisation armée secrète ]. So they all had different names, but they’ve now all generically been called Operation Gladio because Italy was the only one that did an in-depth investigation. In Italy, what they did to recruit these people is they went into towns and there were like 15 people. They were given caches of weapons to include rifles, C4 explosives, communication equipment and money. [The Caches] they were buried in normally a wooded area so that when they got the call they could fall in on this cache of weapons and do whatever the mission was. And as you said the majority — all of the missions not the majority ALL of the missions were domestic terrorism.
18:10: And the only two people that the SDECE, which was the organization in Italy, just call it their central intelligence, their version of the CIA. The only two people of those 15 member units that they knew was the leader and the assistant leader. They didn’t know any of the names of the other citizens, and that’s why they called them werwolf units. They were citizens by day and killers by night. And the there was there were thousands of these units all over Italy. And this same thing, as a matter of fact, William Colby, a future CIA director, set them up in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. You know, Sweden, the “neutral” country? They were everywhere.
19:00: Clayton Morris: So, they were given money. So, I mean, I guess I’m just trying to understand the motivation of these people. In the same way that we see today when you have these like Bernie Sanders rallies and the whatever, patriot rallies they had back in this early part of the summer. We know that through George Soros funded groups, they were given hundreds of dollars, thousands of dollars. Any of these protesters that want to come out and be agitators, they’re paid. Paid. We know this from Tik Tok influencers and others. So, what’s the motivation? Is it really just at the heart money or were they real were they somehow patriots in a way that we just didn’t understand?
19:30: Colonel Towner: I don’t know. A lot of people have been, and I can draw the analogy back then. There were a lot of people that were genuinely scared about the communists. I certainly was. I went through the drills of getting under my desk when I was a little kid. We were all taught that the communists any day was going to come across the Bulgar Gap [Iskar Gorge?} in Europe and annihilate everybody. But if you think back to 1948, the Soviet Unions had over 50 million people killed. Most of their industrial base had been destroyed. And the thought that there was a communist threat at the time is literally ridiculous. Not to say that communism is good or anything else. And yes, there was later on a Soviet threat, but not at the time this entire operation was being set up. So you go into a community who had just been ruled by Mussolini, a fascist dictator for decades. You tell them that there is this new boogeyman in town, and they’re much worse than Mussolini. They’re atheists. They’re going to destroy the Catholic Church, which of course is sacred in Italy. So, it wouldn’t be hard to find people who are patriots to volunteer to protect their town from this imminent threat. But again, that was never the intended purpose.
21:15: It’s not unlike the brainwashing that is going on with the propaganda in the United States right now, calling Trump a fascist. It is literally the same playbook. And they did this in country after country after country. And generally in every one of those countries, there was some resource that they wanted.
21:27: Indonesia: We went into Indonesia. We tried to coup the government of Sukarno and failed. Then we regrouped and overthrew that government a few years later because there were two resources there that both the Rockefeller family and the Dutch Royal Petroleum [Shell Oil] knew was there that they had never told the Indonesian people was there. There was a mountian, a literal mountain full of gold, the purest gold they had ever found and an untapped oil reserve that they kept secret. And in both of those cases, after they overthrew the government of Sukarno and installed their puppet government of Suharto, the Rockefellers and the
Dutch oil [Shell Oil] went in there and basically, again, it’s a long story, but they basically stole a lot of that by saying, “Oh, it’s not that pure.” Either the oil or the gold, and lied on what they were remitting back as the royalties to the Indonesian people. And that’s after they killed a million of them in the coup.
22:40: Clayton Morris: 👉So [in] all of these instances where Operation Gladio was set up, it’s because of some sort of a resource, a mineral resource or something in that country.👈
👉They used communism as the boogeyman,👈 the Soviets are going to invade Indonesia. They’re going to take over this territory. They’re going to come to Sukarno. They’re going to take over this territory. They’re coming to Italy next. And so we need to have these armies created, a sort of a militia if you will
23:06: Colonel Towner: Correct.
Clayton Morris: What was their mission then? So in the case of Italy I mentioned Bolognia. Maybe you could talk a little bit about some of these terrorist activities that created these false flag events.
23:17: Colonel Towner: Well originally their first operation in Italy was in 1948. It was the
election. There were two people running that were kind of the odds on favorite of being the prime minister and one of them was very pro- NATO. Oh my god, we got to get a NATO. One of them again because of Mussolini did not want to have anything to do with NATO. They wanted their country back. Of course that person is labeled a communist sympathizer. And the CIA used $10 million in 1948, $10 million to influence that election to ensure the pro-NATO guy got involved.
24:00: That was their first official interference in elections. It wasn’t their last, but it was their first. And that that’s the entire time that we’ve been talking about election interference. To me, it has been blatantly obvious both with the 1916 election and the 2020 election that the CIA is behind both of them. If you look at where Gina Haspel was as the London CIA station chief with the creation of the Steel Dossier, they are still intimately involved in election interference all around the world.
24:50: Clayton Morris: So would you say Operation Gladio is still alive and well today, just under a different name?
Colonel Towner: 100%. That’s why I think it’s critical that people understand not only it and how it functioned early on.
25:00: Let’s go back to Lyman Lemnitzer [& Wikispooks notes-GC] because with the JFK files you don’t hear anyone talking about this, but now that you understand the massive scope of Operation Gladio.
Lyman Lemnitzer was General Eisenhower chief of logistics in Europe. What’s that mean? Logistics in the military means that’s the guy that’s critical to get supplies where they’re needed. So, who would have been getting all of the weapons in Europe, now that the war is over, to these caches of weapons for Operation Gladio. It would have been General Lyman Lemnitzer. That’s why he’s
at this meeting [Operation Sunrise] in order to not only understand where all of the caches are that the Nazis set up, but they’re [NATO is] planning to put them all over Europe. So, he’s the logistics guy and he’s the guy that goes with Alan Dulles to this meeting.
26:00: Now, where’s the next time that we come to Lyman Limiter? Well, he ends up becoming a four-star general and he’s the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when JFK gets into office. Lyman Lemnitzer knows all about Operation Gladio. He’s the author of Operations Northwood. Do you know what that is?
26:20: Clayton Morris:I do, but can you educate our audience on this?
Colonel Towner: Operation Northwood was a document that is declassified, several pages. What it is, it is a laundry list of terrorist operations to be conducted inside the United States, killing American citizens and blaming Castro. It articulates that we’re going to dress Cuban exiles that are basically our Gladio elements, in the United States and were for decades. — Brigade 256.
Felix Rodriguez, the guy that Tucker interviewed about six months ago, he’s an assassin. He was part of Brigade 256. If you go back and look at that interview, he’s wearing the t-shirt, literally. And he was in El Salvador. He was in Nicaragua. He was in Guatemala. He was in Vietnam during the Phoenix program. He is one of them.
So this Operation Northwood was to take some of the CIA trained Cuban exiles in Miami, dress them up in Castro uniforms, have them go do bombings just like we were talking about in Italy. killing people, blaming Castro, and then justifying a full-scale military invasion of Cuba in order to overthrow Castro. That’s what Operation Northwood was. He briefed it to Robert S. McNamara, the Secretary of Defense and Robert McNamara didn’t find anything wrong with it. He said, “Hey, let’s go brief this to JFK.” When JFK read Operation Gladio, he’s like, “Are you out of your mind? We’re not going to kill Americans for any reason.” So, he fired General Lemnitzer. Unfortunately, and this clearly indicates to me that JFK did not know the extent of Operation Gladio, and this hydra that had been set up. He had just survived the Bay of Pigs and didn’t want any more military pissed off at him. So, he didn’t fire, fire him and make him retire. He reassigned him out of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
28:30: And do you know where they put him?
Clayton Morris: No.
Colonel Towner: He became the commander of NATO.
And do you know that the French OAS [Organisation armée secrète ] that were trained by Operation Gladio trainer Otto Skorzeny, a Nazi [former Nazi officer. -GC] Their OAS had two, depending on who you read, some people say four operatives in Dallas, Texas the day JFK was murdered.
There are documents talking about people speaking French up on the grassy knoll. Those two OAS agents, one was flown out of Dallas that night, the other one was driven by a Dallas police officer to the Mexican border.
29:10: Clayton Morris:The more you, you know. The more you study JFK and you realize how many people he pissed off, right? It’s not surprising at all that you have the mafia involved, you have you have, the Israelis involved, you have the CIA involved, members of NATO involved who trying to upend Operation Gladio. He pissed a lot of people off.
Colonel Towner: Yes. And he also was in direct contact with Sukarno over in Indonesia and had already scheduled a visit to see him in January 1964. They knew that if he ever went to see Sukarno and figured out what they were doing that they would all be in trouble. So that meeting was never going to be allowed to happen.
30:10: A lot of people think General Eisenhower was a great guy. Let let me just assure you, he was not. Not only did he oversee the creation of Operation Gladio while he was in Europe, when he becomes president, he’s the guy that overthrew Iran, he’s the guy that used this organization to overthrow the president in Guatemala. And what was the issue in Guatemala? Bananas. who owned all of the Guatemalan farmland. [ United Fruit now Chiquita] You know that thing that we think is absolutely horrible if China owns our farmland. Well, a US oligarch owned the majority of Guatemalan’s farmland and that was United Fruit. And one of the primary stockholders of United Fruit was the Dallas brothers and the Rockefellers. And so they decided when Guatemalan president gets elected he said that he did not want any foreigners owning farmland. Imagine that. And the irony of everything that’s happening right now just blows my mind. Because what’s happening in America today is what our government has done on behalf of these oligarchs all over the world.
Painting by Diego Rivera, “Gloriosa Victoria,” tells the story of the 1954 overthrow of the democratically-elected Jacobo Arbenz government. Coup Colonel Carlos Castillo Armas greets secretary of state John Foster Dulles, who holds a bomb with the face of Eisenhower, surrounded by people who were murdered in the coup. To his left is U.S. ambassador John Peurifoy with military officers and CIA director Allen W. Dulles whispering in his brother’s ear. On the right, the archbishop of Guatemala, Mariano Rossell Arellano, blesses the act, while Guatemalans protest.
So what do they do? They planned Operation PBSuccess which was the name of the operation to overthrow the Guatemalan president and that was [blessed by] General Eisenhower. Also, one of the very last things he [Eisenhower] did was issue a findings ,which is what it’s called when you order the assassination of a foreign head of state, to kill Patrice Lumumba [first prime minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.] They killed Patrice Lumumba three days before JFK came into office. JFK was in office for at least three weeks before he knew that his CIA was complicit in killing Lumumba. He didn’t even know he was dead because they had kidnapped him. And how did they do that? What was the lead-up to that? Well, the Congo had uranium. They were the number one supplier of uranium. Uranium obviously was very important at the time because of the atomic weapons. The Congo had just gotten its independence from being a colony of Belgium for 350 years.
Patrice Lumumba, their first prime minister had said, “We do not want Belgium to continue to get rich off of our uranium. We want to deal directly with the United States. He flies to the United States and the vice president [Nixon] will not meet him. Eisenhower will not meet him. So he’s stuck going to see the Secretary of State [Christian Herter.] And he tells the secretary of state, “I’ll sell you 100% of our uranium, but I don’t want
Belgium profiting from it.” They told him to pound sand. And he goes back and he says, “Okay, well, if you’re not going to deal with me, I I know now that I’ve made this very clear and you made it very clear that you don’t like my stance on this. Um, the IMF is immediately turned off. The World Bank won’t talk to him. So, they economically strangle him and he has only one option to get weapons for what he knows is going to come. The only person that at that point will answer his phone is the Soviet Union.
What happens as soon as that phone call is made? They call him a communist. He’s not a communist. But because they call him a communist, — it started with Truman actually, 10-2, a national security action memorandum says if you are labeled a communist, we have the right to kill you — And so Eisenhower issues a finding to kill Lumumba.
JFK didn’t know about this. And you know, we all know that that four months from the time you’re a president-elect until you take um office that you are supposed to be being updated with intelligence briefings of what you’re walking into. He knew nothing about it.
34:30: Clayton Morris:This Mumba story, we’ve covered this before on our show and all of the secrecy around it and not allowing JFK to be aware of this um in the leadup to his presidency that this was carried out. There’s some I think there was some speculation that he did know about it or he was somehow briefed on it or whatever. but I have not seen anything conclusive on that. So you haven’t either then right?
Colonel Towner: I have not seen anything that he was briefed on it. I have seen statements from CIA officers that says he was not.
The Heroic Yet Tragic Life Of Patrice Lumumba
…the Belgian rule of the Congo was marked by brutality. About 10 million Congolese people were killed during King Leopold’s reign alone — which lasted from 1885 to 1908. Countless others were mutilated for failing to meet production quotas for rubber, ivory, and minerals.
And even when the Congo became a Belgian colony — under control of the Belgian government rather than just one man — that didn’t mean the brutality came to an end. Many Congolese people were still forced into labor and abused by the Belgians who remained in the country.
Plus, the Congolese were considered second-class citizens in their own country. Before 1958, native Congolese couldn’t vote, hold office or high-ranking positions in the army, or attend Belgian universities….
A father in the Congo looks down at his child’s hand and foot, which were cut off when he didn’t meet his rubber production quota. Circa 1904.
Clayton Morris: So that’s just one example. We have Guatemala as another example. We have Italy as another example. How many people do you think have been killed?
Colonel Towner: Millions
Clayton Morris: Do we have a number of how many people were at the hands of these NATO stay behind armies?
Colonel Towner: Not directly. Because of the overthrows of these governments like in Indonesia, a million people ended up dying. We destabilized Cambodia. Pol Pot coming to power was a direct result of a CIA instigated coup. We had people there training in Cambodia. We had people training in Laos.
USAID & THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC SAFETY
35:50: One of the most devastating parts of all of this is how much of our federal government was infected with it. You mentioned earlier USAID. USAID had an office called the Office of Public Safety. The Office of Public Safety is one of those things that once you start researching it, your mind just explodes. They recruited former cops from all over the United States and they trained them to go into these countries that they were going to destabilize to train national police forces. This is how they did Mosaddegh [The Prime Minister of Iran from 1951 to 1953 who overthrew the Shaw & nationalized the huge British oil holdings in Iran. -GC] After Mosaddegh,[coup of the Shah] they had stay-behinds in southern Iran leading up to the overthrow of Mosaddegh. I didn’t know that until last week. I had never found any trace of stay-behinds in Iran, although I’ve researched Iran extensively, until literally last week. They had a military advisory group down there. The CIA was down there. After they overthrew Mosaddegh, they set up, under the guise of USAID, Office of Public Safety, what a weird name, under General Norman Schwarzoff SENIOR, the desert storm guy’s dad. He created the Savack. [Secret police, domestic security and intelligence service in Iran during the reign of the Pahlavi dynasty -GC] He trained the Savack under the Office of Public Safety. The Savack is a terrorist organization that basically kidnapped, tortured, and disappeared people that disagreed with the Shaw. You will find the office of public safety in like 50 or 60 different countries around the world and every one of them was done after the CIA installs a dictator there.
37:35: Clayton Morris: So this office of public safety is it under, what umbrella is it under?
Colonel Towner: USAID.
Clayton Morris: So, it’s under USAID. Have these recent changes to USAID and the disbanding of it, has that affected it? Cut it off?
37:50: Colonel Towner: The Office of Public Safety actually was done away with in 1974 because it came under intense scrutiny by Congress in the 1975, you know, family jewels of the CIA investigations. No one was held accountable. As a matter of fact, when you go back and look, at Operation Phoenix in Vietnam, which we know to be basically the same thing. It was torturing, kidnapping, and assassinating anyone that went against the puppet government that had been installed in the South.
38:30: Operation Phoenix was ran by the Michigan State University. [Also WIKI on Phoenix Program] A lot of people don’t know that Michigan State University hired CIA agents, literal agents, not fronts, not assets, agents. They dressed them up as professors and they deployed them to Vietnam basically to set up the Phoenix program. What I just recently learned is Indiana University, my old alma mater, was working as a partnership with Michigan State in that initiative and they deployed over to Operation Phoenix um under the guise of USAID, Office of Public Safety, and set up this apparatus of training. They set up torture prisons. You find a guy by the name of Dan Mitrione , who I’ve covered extensively. He was the police chief in Richmond, Indiana.
He was trained by the FBI. He sent his officers to Indiana University’s police training. This the same training partnership with Michigan State. He was selected as a part of the office of public safety. He was first deployed to Brazil right before their coup. Then you find him in Uruguay with their new military installed dictator there. And he was instrumental in training people how to torture people, how to kidnap people. And much of the torture led to the people dying. And that’s just one aspect of it. Not the entirey of these national police going out and literally bombing people’s houses just because they were suspected of resisting the military dictatorship that we had installed there. And so again, tens of thousands in every single one of these operations.
They were in Argentina. Argentina took their prisoners because they didn’t want to dig the graves, loaded them up on aircraft and flew them out over the ocean and dumped them out. So, it’s almost impossible to get a body count of the number of people that have been affected by these programs.
40:50: Clayton Morris: We talked about Operation Northwoods, which is really an extension of Operation Gladio. Has there been any other on on domestic US soil that we know of that would fall under the Operation Gladio umbrella? False flag attacks on the United States. I mean, other than 9-11, in the United States.
41:10: Colonel Towner: We had Gladio operators that killed the Chilean ambassador that got stuck here. He was here, and he couldn’t go back because of the, assassination of President Salvador Allende in Chile. Ambassador Orlando Letelier is his name. One of the Cuban exiles, I think two went to prison. They were trained Gladio people, went to Washington DC and ignited a car bomb, killing him and an American citizen, his aid, in downtown Washington DC. They were also implicated in the overthrow of Nixon. They were implicated in the assassination of JFK and RFK. when he was assassinated. If you trace the people that really did it not, Sirhan Sirhan, they were tied to the Cuban exiles and the CIA.
Clayton Morris: And MK Ultra mind control. I’ve done deep dives on MK Ultra of course, the CIA’s secret mind control brainwashing program to carry out nefarious things. Are there any blending here across Operation Gladadio and MK Ultra?
JIM JONES OF ‘DRINK THE KOOL-AID’
42:25: Colonel Towner: [Laugh] I’m glad that you asked that question. Do you know who Jim Jones is?
Clayton Morris: Sure.
Colonel Towner: Okay. Do you know where Jim Jones hometown was?
Clayton Morris: San Francisco, right?
Colonel Towner:Richmond, Indiana.
Clayton Morris: Oh, right. But Okay. When he really started getting going and building his church he moved his church to San Francisco.
Colonel Towner:Right. Jim Jones was classmates with Dan Meteron, the guy I just talked about.
Clayton Morris: Come on. [Laugh]
Colonel Towner: I’m not even kidding.
Clayton Morris: I give up. I swear to God. I mean, you know, I just try to go through my days as like a normal human being and all of these pieces, it’s just unbelievable to me on a regular basis. You’re blowing my mind.
Colonel Towner: Okay, so Jim Jones moves his “church” [Air quotes] out to San Francisco. He is almost immediately approved as a foster home in San Francisco, right? If you go back and you do the research, you find out that the mayor of San Francisco kills himself because he was one of the purveyors of the children in Jim Jones little compound. Jim Jones was part of the Democrat vote running that was going on both in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He was intimately involved in all kinds of nefarious things. What I didn’t know when I started looking into Jim Jones — I don’t have any concrete evidence evidence that while in San Francisco he was part of MK Ultra. I do have evidence of him being involved when he relocated to Guyana.
44:00: Why did he relocate to Guyana? The reason he did is because Congressman Leo Ryan, the only active congressional member to ever be assassinated on duty, began an investigation into Jim Jones and the CIA, into the operation that they were running out in San Francisco. So Jim Jones, because the pressure is getting to him, he relocates his commune to Jonestown. Well, I had already came across evidence that Jonestown existed long before Jim Jones moved his church there. It was used as a terrorist training camp for Operation Condor in Latin America. So, he had ships. He was going from Brazil to Guyana with weapons. They were using them against Venezuela in order to protect who? Rockefeller’s oil interests in Venezuela. So anybody in Venezuela that became a problem was taken out launched from Jonestown in Guyana.
45:10: So all these people show up and if you go back and read the autopsy of the local guyan coroner, you find out that none of those people were poisoned with cyanide. They all had injection sites at the base of their neck. If you read Colonel Purdy’s(sp?) book, you find out that the body bags for
those people were ordered the day before the massacre even happened. [For?] to the Joint Chiefs of Staff to fly the body bags in. And despite having flown the body bags in, they [the bodies] were left out for two weeks. So no one could see any of the evidence because it was hundred and some degrees there and their bodies began decomposing. And so a person that had been working for Jim Jones before all of the massacre happened had said that they were a whistleblower and got Leo Ryan to fly to
Guyana because they were going to reveal all of the nefarious things that he had alleged already, and he’s assassinated when he lands on the tarmac.
46:20: Clayton Morris: So cyanide was not used? I mean we had like over 300 children 300 children given like we you know drink heard like the flavor aid or whatever they were all drinking. It was not Kool-Aid. It was flavor aid. So right.
Colonel Towner: None of that happened.
Clayton Morris: You’re blowing my mind. None of that happened. They were, they had injections and of course Yeah, you’re right. They were left out. We have the visuals. We have the images of the I think it was the famous Newsweek cover, right? The aerial photographs from high up where you see them out in the sun. They’ve been sitting out. The bodies have been rotting in the sun for weeks.
Colonel Towner: Yes.
Clayton Morris: It’s s unbelievable. I just I don’t even know what to ask. I’m just blown away. You’re blowing my mind. I’ll let you run with I mean, put the pieces together for me because I’m just I’m just… [Shakes head]
FUNDING THE CIA & OPERATION GLADIO
Colonel Towner: So, the part we haven’t talked about is how’ they get the money to do all of this because it was all done covertly off the books. How’d they get the money?
At the end of World War II, you had a civil war going on in China. You had Mao fighting against Chiang Kai–shek and other warlords in the south. Well, Colonel Paul Helliwell was one of the OSS officers who was somehow also in the military. I’ve come across a lot of that happening by the way.
Colonel Paul Helliwell was a military attache to Chiang Kai–shek during World War II and he’s watching Chiang Kai–shek pay for his military efforts against Mao by selling opium. Now there’s a long story of Indian opium flooding China at this time under the auspices of the British Empire who basically owned India, the boxer wars, all of that stuff. So Chiang Kai–shek had a model of funding his revolution with drug money. So Paul Helliwell picks up the phone and he says, “Hey Allan Dulles, I got a great way to pay for that Operation Gladio thing that you’re kicking off. We could do it with drug money. It’s untraceable. It’s cash. Let’s do that.” And so they make a deal with Chiang Kai–shek that they’re going to supply him military aid to fight Mao under the guise of anti-communism.
Chiang Kai–shek gets kicked out of China. Eventually they move him to Burma. So Shanghai sets up his opium operation out of Burma. The Burmese government eventually kicks him out. So there’s this tiny little island over here called Formosa. We now call it Taiwan. But Formosa at the time was Japanese occupied. It’s a Chinese island. It was occupied during World War II by the Japanese and so under the guise of going onto Formosa to get the rest of the Japanese out of there, there are US people present. Well, they move Chiang Kai–shek and his KMT army of drug smugglers over to Formosa.
And if you go through the first several, and I just pulled out of my notes, the first several State Department [people], they weren’t ambassadors at the time, that were in Taiwan. And the first several CIA chiefs, you find them also involved in other Operation Gladio destabilization efforts. So, for example, the first station chief, assigned in 1949 to Formosa, now called Taiwan, was Raymond Pierce. He was an OSS veteran who had parachuted to set up the KMT in Burma. He also was part of the Western Enterprise, Inc., which was a CIA front company headquartered in Taiwan that arranged arms to go into Formosa but not officially. It was black market arms. He also moved on to work with radio nets, opium finance, weapon drops, and other activity. I didn’t know until I started doing this research that Taiwan wasn’t just one island. It’s seven. And the KMT was set up on all of those islands after World War II after they kicked Chiang Kai–shek out, to launch military operations into China to destabilize it.
One of the former ambassadors was involved in the destabilization of Tibet. And again, until I did this research, I didn’t know that we had an entire contingent of stay-behind units in Tibet. So, what we did was we took Tibetans, we flew them into Colorado to a an abandoned World War II base, taught them how to be terrorists, and then took them back out to Tibet for them to launch attacks internal to China as well. We did the same thing with the Uyghurs, by the way. We use Nepal for that. We took Uyghurs out of China, trained them in Nepal to be terrorists.
Clayton Morris: All in an effort to destabilize China.
Colonel Towner: Yes. So Taiwan now is the drug hub. Chiang Kai–shek, immediately implements martial law. For the next 40 years in Taiwan, up until Richard Nixon actually recognizes China, going into the early 80s, Taiwan was under a dictatorship, under martial law. They were not a democracy at all. Chiang Kai–shek, his son, and one other guy were the rulers, the dictators in Taiwan. So it is not a coincidence that in the immediate aftermath of having to recognize mainland China and we can no longer call Taiwan the Republic of China because they’re not. Another one of those oligarchical companies decided Taiwan is going to be where we put all of our semiconductors, because we have to have an excuse to defend Taiwan and we just lost it when they recognized mainland China. So now we have another excuse.
THE VATICAN BANK
You can’t overstate the importance of this drug network that was ran out of the golden triangle with Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and that entire region because they used the Vatican bank to money launder all of the drug money. And that’s another reason why Italy was critical to the exposure of Operation Gladio. The P2 Masonic Lodge was set up. Licio Gelli was the guy that was running the P2 Lodge. That’s how they met. They met under the guise of this Masonic lodge. There was like 800 names eventually released that belong to this P2 Masonic lodge. And according to Vatican rules, you’re not even allowed to be a Mason and be a Catholic. So, how are all of these Catholics belonging to the Masonic Lodge? P2 also shows up in Operation Condor. Their subsidiary was in Argentina and that’s how they were able to coordinate. And it’s not coincidental that when we lost the Golden Triangle, we moved to Afghanistan. That’s when we went in in the 1980s because of course in the 70s we lost control of Asia’s drug market. So we go to Afghanistan. There’s opium there. It’s not a coincidence that in the year 2000 the Taliban had eradicated almost all of the opium and the next year we have 911 and immediately we go back into Afghanistan because Bin Laden just so happens to be in Afghanistan. And what happens to the opium production? It skyrockets right back up. And Operation Condor created the ability, the control mechanisms to move a lot of the drug apparatus to Latin America. That’s why Colombia has been so important to the drug networking into the United States. So they set up all kinds of banks. The Bank of Commerce, Credit and Commerce International, BCCI, Castle Bank, Paul Helliwell actually set that bank up in the Caribbean. And Nugan Hand Bank
was set up in Australia. Those banks in conjunction with the Vatican was the money laundering apparatus to facilitate this entire network.
55:55: Clayton Morris: Do you think anyone in the Trump administration is as fully versed on this as you and is actively trying to eradicate this or is deep state forces so entrenched that this is perpetuating at a much larger level than even we knew about in the 1940s and 50s?
Colonel Towner: So I have to believe if they don’t know all of what I know, they know a lot of what I know because they wouldn’t have gone after USAID the way they did. because a lot of the facilitation of this has moved into USAID. USAID is a CIA front. The interaction between those two both in personnel and in mission is intrinsically linked.
Clayton Morris: How so?
Colonel Towner: Well, for example, the Office of Public Safety. I’m reviewing a book right now called Hidden Terrors, by A. J. Langguth,. That book illustrates that the Office of Public Safety actually had CIA agents working in it and that’s under USAID. That is just one. The Office of Transition Initiatives is another one that had CIA embedded in it. It functions as a CIA front.
Clayton Morris: How much of this is still left? Because we know some of it has been rolled into the State Department under Marco Rubio. A lot of it has been cut off, these people packing their boxes up and leaving. But how much of do you think this operation might have been rolled under into the State Department, which in many ways is as equally nefarious as the CIA?
Colonel Towner: Well, as my research has shown, ambassador after ambassador. They specifically move particular ambassadors to locations that they are going to destabilize with CIA and USAID operations. You find the same ambassadors showing up all the time.
One of the most intriguing guys that I ran across that I had never heard about before was William D. Pawley. He was supposedly this multi-millionaire businessman living in South Florida. Pawley Island in South Carolina is actually named after his family, a very wealthy family. And he ends up becoming an ambassador. He was the assistant Secretary of State at one point. Him and Paul Helliwell were very good friends and he owned the franchise of Curtis Aircraft in Southeast Asia. So he’s the guy that literally gave Chiang Kai–shek all his aircraft. They set up sea supply together to give him a
navy. And he owned the bus system and several large sugar plantations in Cuba. He used his personal yacht to take a group of Cuban exiles to Cuba for a land invasion. He’s an ambassador out of the State Department! he also worked on the Guatemalan coup with a guy by the name of Tommy the Cork Corcoran who is CIA.
Tommy ‘the Cork’ Corcoran and El Pulpo
He [Pawley] also was an executive at Pan Am and Pan Am was often time used for cargo shipments for the CIA. So when you start researching these people, they go in and out of the oligarch class into the State Department and back in order to ensure their vested interests are what we’re after and not the interest of the United States as a country, right?
59:50: Clayton Morris: Oh, clearly. Yeah.
Colonel Towner: He’s fascinating. He’s mentioned in a book called The Legacy of Ashes. He literally went to a bank and pulled out $150,000 after meeting with President Eisenhower to buy three planes for the Guatemalan coup.
1:00:10: Clayton Morris: It’s funny I’ve interviewed Tim Weiner on that book. It came out years ago back when I was still working at Fox News at the time. I interviewed him about that and his book Legacy of Ashes and I read that years ago. You’re just refreshing my memory. It’s been it’s been a number of years now, but it’s remarkable. And you see it in the United States even in the book like Chaos about the history of the CIA in the 1960s in California and of course the infiltration of the CIA and all of these groups, you know, infiltrating the the hippie movement in Berkeley. it’s all happening right on the United States soil. It’s hard for Americans to believe it, right?
Colonel Towner: It was, certainly, having spent 30 years in the military, hard for me to believe that all of this stuff happened. And I was completely ignorant of all of it. And again, I’m educated, so I thought you are educated in what they want you to know. And if you start using internet search engines that pick up foreign news articles and things like that. Now again one of the things I have not told you is in 1990 when Italy first exposed Operation Gladio. I know the date because of Paul Williams book called Operation Gladio and I’ve interviewed him a couple of times on my podcast. It stuck out to me like a sore thumb because the 2nd of August 1990 is the very day I arrived at the Rome airport for my three-year assignment in Italy. So I’m reading his book a couple of years ago and I’m like 2nd of August 1990. [HUH?) What I noticed about Italy in the three years that I lived there, during this exposure operation, they were gunning down judges that were hearing cases about Operation Gladio, they were killing prosecutors. They were killing reporters. And I just thought that there was a crap ton of mafia in Italy. I had I never heard the words Operation Gladio. They called it “the years of lead”. I didn’t know anything about what was going on. I didn’t know it was all part of this. I didn’t speak Italian. But I heard my landlord and their daughters talking about it who spoke English. And I never put two and two together. What I also realized is if you [Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti ] are behind Operation Gladio, you know it’s being ran out of NATO. So he reveals this in August and all of the other NATO countries go we don’t have anything like that. That must have been just something Italy did. Well, October was a NATO planning meeting for Operation Gladio. There were two cells in NATO. One was called the Allied clandestine planning. The other one was called CPC. And one of them had a meeting in October. So Andreotti, the prime minister that exposed it in August, comes back on television in November of 1990 and said, “Hey, all you guys that said you didn’t have anything to do with Operation Gladio, here’s the list of the countries that had just just attended the planning meeting.” He told
on all of them. And so again, what I remember about the 2nd of August is getting off the aircraft at the international terminal and going into the airport. Now, it’s my first time overseas as a a military officer, and for every person that was in the Rome airport that day. There’s about 20 Carabinieri with AK-47s. And I’m like, what the heck did I just do? I had no idea that international airports were so militarized. What the heck is going on? That was the exact same day that Saddam Hussein had been given State Department authority to invade Kuwait.
And do you know what the convenient thing that all of the NATO countries said after the 2nd of August 1990 as to why they couldn’t answer any questions about Operation Gladio? We got to go to war. We’re too busy. We’re planning a war. We’re too busy to answer questions about something.
Clayton Morris: We’re too busy. We’re planning a war. We’re too busy to answer questions about something that’s a cold war relic. We can’t talk about it even though it was still happening. That’s amazing to me that well and and it’s convenient that Italy could use you know these are just mafia hits. So don’t you know don’t look any more deeply into this. We’re killing prosecutors. So the prosecutors that were killed, the judges that were killed, they were hearing cases about Operation Gladio. Yes. And what were the prosecutors zeroing in on? Who were they going after that that led them to be shot and killed?
Colonel Towner: Well, understand that Prime Minister Andreotti eventually goes to jail. It went to the very top of Italy. It involved the Vatican. It involved Lucio Gelli, the guy that was the P2 Masonic Grand Puba, whatever you call him. The bankers, Roberto Calvi, the guy that gets strung up on a bridge in London, the Banco Ambrosiano. The Vatican had so much money that they were laundering, they couldn’t do it by themselves. So they involved Italian banks. The chief of the military intelligence, the chief of the military, basically their Secretary of Defense, they were all involved in it.
Clayton Morris: Carrying out these operations.
Colonel Towner: Yes. The train bombing, the bank bombings, all of them.
Clayton Morris: The Bologna massacre. All of it. All of it.
Colonel Towner: Yes. Tied together. The attempted assassination on John Paul. II was two Greywolf Gladio people from Turkey. That’s who eventually went to jail for that attempted assassination. They were part of Operation Gladio.
Clayton Morris: You know, since you’ve already blown my mind enough, I mean, talking about Jonestown and all of these connections here and I think about like the USS Liberty false flag. Yes. under Lynden Baines Johnson, of course, all the way up to MOSSAD and the CIA working hand in hand there, to get us involved in a war in Egypt, of course. Operation Gladio involvement in any of that wouldn’t be surprised.
1:06:54 Colonel Towner: The same pattern is involved in all of them. So one of the things that I’ve found out is like Iran Contra. If you understand Operation Gladio and you go back and you start reviewing the attempted overthrow of the Nicaraguan government under the same auspices that we don’t want them to have their own farmland. They were primarily owned by United Fruit as well. The Sandinistas finally get in power. There’s a lot of people that don’t like the Sandinistas. Whatever. That was the government that got elected. So we began funding covertly using these covert same funds to fund the Contras. Reagan with George Bush as his vice president starts using Israel as a weapons cutout. So they become a major weapons trafficker.
The US is a funder
Clayton Morris: into Nicaragua.
So we can sort of wash our hands and then Nicaragua.
Colonel Tower: Into Iran and then into Nicaragua.
[So US funds ==> Israel, Israel Weapons ==> Iran, Iran Weapons ==> Nicaragua Contras. –GC]
Clayton Morris: So Right. Right. Yeah. But we could wash our hands of it then. We could sort of Oh, it’s we’re funneling it through Israel, so it’s not really going to Nicaragua. Yeah.
Colonel Towner: Exactly. Correct. And the same thing happened in Angola under Reagan. So we do not want the government that Angola is going to put in place. Angola backs up to the uranium, the gold, the diamonds. So we want to control Angola for the oligarchs. So we get cut off. The CIA gets cut off from funding Angola directly. So what do they do? They use Israel to funnel weapons into South Africa, which at the time was apartheid South Africa, and they’re running them over the border into Angola to fight this. Cuban exiles from the CIA trained Cuban exile farm down in Miami are in Angola fighting.
Rebirth of the East India Company: From Colonial Looters to Corporate Gods
1:08:50: I I told you about Felix Rodriguez. Felix Rodriguez was training the Contras. So Israel has been an integral part of all of this. As a matter of fact we didn’t even mention that Taiwan set up a thing called the political warfare cadre academy. It’s a terrorist training camp. The gist of it though, was that all of these national police organizations, these death squads that we were setting up covertly in Latin America, all they had to do was call themselves a political party. And in the US press, we’ll just say if you attack the death squads that you’re attacking democracy. I would argue a lot of the Democrat parties like that today in America. But it literally was a curriculum set up at a academy in Taiwan to teach these people. And if you go back and just do a search of how many of The School of Americas, which was set up in Panama, (it eventually moves to Fort Benning) were graduates. They all end up in the National Police Force in Latin America. How many of those people ended up in the Political Warfare Academy? A crap ton of them did. And if you go and look at the countries that still have political ties to Taiwan officially? The majority of them are all in Latin America because of that. And so again, it just [like] an onion. And the more you unpeel, the the bigger you understand this operation is. It has like enveloped the entire world. Cross continents, cross regional hemispheres and it was [and is] held together through this post world war II intelligence network.
1:11:00: Clayton Morris: So I guess I’ll get you out of here on this. I could spend all afternoon talking about it, but how much of this is still in operation today?
Colonel Towner: I don’t have any way of knowing that. What I look for today is patterns based on their past operations. I would say all of the 2020 Summer of Love was part of this operation. It is exactly the election interference in 2016, all directly ties to the CIA and the model that they set up when they destabilized Chile during Allende’s initial presidential run and then afterwards. So there are patterns of it happening in the United States. The infiltration of all of these illegal aliens into the United States. It provides the perfect cover. Whether or not, and we know a lot of them are criminals, but whether or not they’re actually Gladio cells doesn’t matter because they will be blamed for it and the real Gladio cells will not. So, do I believe that they were up to nefarious things? Absolutely. Because this is a very similar pattern to destabilization of other countries.
1:12:15 Clayton Morris: Well, Colonel, you’ve blown my mind on all of this. Where can people learn more about your work, research in all of this? Again, I’d love to have you back. We can do more deep dives on this, but I think this was a good primer for people to understand Operation Gladio.
1:12:30: Colonel Towner: So, primarily if you go to my X account one of my researchers assistants, Bridget, has created a pinned post that has, a four o’clock show where we do book reviews on X in spaces every day. I’m at @ Colonel spelled out Towner on X — t o w n e r — and that pin post has links to everything, the Rumble channel,my interviews with Paul Williams are over there, the guy that wrote Operation Gladio, the book. My Rumble channel is called the Colonel’s Corner and there are hundreds of hours of research. I also do a Wednesday night show with Alpha Warrior. It’s called the Alpha Warrior Show on Rumble and we started at a primer to Operation Gladio over a year ago and every Wednesday night at 9:30 we have a show. I just did the deep dive into Obama and the family CIA ties to not just his mom and dad, but his grandmother and grandfather in a two-part series there. So I’m all about the CIA at this point.
Clayton Morris: Oh, wonderful. Well, we’ll link it up in the description below and so people can look and follow your work. Colonel, great to have you here on the show. Thank you for this. Thank you for your incredible research and sharing it with our audience. We really appreciate it.
1:14:00 Colonel Towner: Thank you for the invitation to be here. I’m honored.
