Morgenthau Plan – Wikipedia

The Morgenthau Plan was a proposal to weaken Germany following World War II  by eliminating its arms industry and removing or destroying other key industries basic to military strength. This included the removal or destruction of all industrial plants and equipment in the Ruhr. It was first proposed by United States Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. in a 1944 memorandum entitled Suggested Post-Surrender Program for Germany….

That sure sounds like what was done to the USA via ‘leveraged buyouts’ in the 1980s thanks to Reagan’s laissez-faire attitude towards monopolies. According to Source Watch a long list of industries now have over 50% foreign ownership.

I worked for one of the targeted AMERICAN corporations. Here’s how they ran their business. Compare these methods to those of current corporations:

  • Personnel were hired for the long term & for their ability to grow into other jobs.
  • The corporation paid for continuing education and would even give time off for critical courses if you were going for a degree.
  • NO CORPORATE DEBT
  • SELF INSURED HEALTHCARE provided to the employees
  • American owned
  • Matching-funds if you bought corporate stock up to 10% of your salary. [This is why they succeeded in fighting off the first few hostile take-over attacks… Until the CEO mysteriously died of a heart attack at his desk. – A CIA hit maybe? Given what I know now it is not as far-fetched an idea as I first thought.]
  • Committed to QUALITY, Religion & the USA.

What allowed the buyout of US corporations? Mutual Funds & Pension Funds held stock in them. The stock, purchased using YOUR MONEY or pensions and was held in YOUR NAME. But you didn’t vote it as a stockholder. Instead, the stock was VOTED by Fidelity, Vanguard, Blackrock, State Street and other financial institutions. They are the ones who voted to allow the leveraged buyouts.

Do not forget 401K plans. They are another control transfer mechanism.

Americans held approximately $7.3 trillion in 401(k) plans as of June 30, 2021, according to the Investment Company Institute. And the typical wealth held in an American family’s 401(k) has more than tripled  since the late 1980s…

In 1974, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) was enacted, [There is that 1974 date again. — GC] creating a governmental body that oversaw and regulated company-sponsored retirement and health care plans for workers.

ERISA temporarily halted IRS plans to severely restrict retirement plans through regulation in the early 1970s, according to the EBRI. The Act created a study of employee salary reduction plans as well, which the EBRI credits for influencing the creation of the 401(k) later on in the decade….

The modern 401(k) originated in earnest in 1978 with a provision in The Revenue Act of 1978 which said that employees can choose to receive a portion of income as deferred compensation, and created tax structures around it.

Section 401 was originally intended by lawmakers to limit companies creating tax-advantaged profit-sharing plans that mostly benefited executives, according to the ICI. Thanks to the interpretation of the section by businessman Ted Benna, the language evolved into the basis of the modern 401(k), as it enabled profit-sharing plans to adopt CODAs.

The law was signed by President Jimmy Carter and became effective at the turn of the decade….

Is it any wonder that ‘the little guy’ now has very little influence over the big corporations?

….

But it gets worse. In 2010 the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC allowed corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts of money on political advertisements and other forms of independent political expenditures. The founders, who hated corporations, must be rolling in their graves. SEE: What The Founding Fathers Thought About Corporations

Supreme Court decisions that paved the way for big money in politics

Supreme Court Decisions

Believe it or not, before some recent Supreme Court decisions the American political system was not always so skewed in favor of the wealthy and powerful. In fact, dating back to the Tillman Act of 1907 and the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, Congress limited the ability of corporations and labor unions to make contributions or expenditures in connection with political campaigns.

The influx of money from corporations, unions, and ultra-wealthy individuals in recent decades is due largely to a few poorly reasoned Supreme Court decisions. The best way to understand how our campaign finance laws became so horribly dysfunctional is to understand those decisions, which are explained in detail below.

The article goes through what each decision did to our election system.

One of the biggest problems as SourceWatch showed, is these corporations influencing our elections are no longer even AMERICAN corporations but are instead TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS run by FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS – AKA the Banksters using the Mercantile system. However if an international corporation has offices in the USA, they can donate to political campaigns or run ads. So much for ‘American only’ influence in our political campaigns. 😡

WILTED IVY: The Death of Prestige and the Rise of Sovereignty

…Carroll Quigley, a historian with privileged access, wrote in Tragedy and Hope, [1966]

“The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim… nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands.”

Harvard, in this view, acted less as a neutral educator and more as a strategic hub.

They didn’t just teach economics.
They reinforced orthodoxy:

  • Orthodoxy of narratives.
  • Orthodoxy of institutions.
  • Orthodoxy of “experts” upholding the prevailing system.

Graduating from an Ivy League school was less about critical thinking, and more about credentialing for access into the upper tiers of an increasingly globalized control system.

This is why the collapse of their perceived invincibility isn’t just symbolic, it’s tectonic.

Because if Harvard can fall, the entire scaffolding of manufactured consensus can fall with it.

If Harvard shaped minds, BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street shaped markets.

👉These three asset managers didn’t merely participate in corporate governance, they dominated it. Their collective control over trillions of dollars made them the unofficial enforcement arm of the globalist order….

Good old Commie central. I lived near there in the Combat Zone. The area leans so far left, that three decades ago a friend, originally a card-carrying communist , had to register as a Republican and work the polls so Cambridge MA could hold their elections!

Also whenever a small company, such as the one I worked for or Spags, suddenly had problems from major changes in the way they did business and then went under, Hubby & I would say they had been HAVAAAAD business schooled. The method was to cut needed expenses such as ongoing maintenance so the bottom line looked really good for a couple years and then move on to the next victim.

The Spags case was special. The store was not open on Sunday because the Borgatti family was religious. The old man dealt in CASH ONLY, no checks or credit cards. Thus he could also get really good deals on merchandise by paying THAT DAY and NOT paying 3 months later as most stores do. Also since Massachusetts taxed inventory in warehouses but NOT goods in transit, he stored his merchandise in trailers in his lot. His retail store was a no-frills warehouse with the merchandise on warehouse racks in cut open boxes. (No additional stock boys.) When he died his kids hired a Harvard business grad. They started taking credit cards (5% paid to the card company by the vendor) fancied up the selling area ($$$$) got a warehouse ($$$$) and the business went under in a few years and was sold.


Today, those asset managers DO NOT LIKE TRUMP’S TARIFFS. Thus you are going to see price gouging such as bananas going from $0.39 to $0.59 in ONE WEEK. Allowing the Fake news arm of the globalists to jump in and BLAME TARIFFS.

Trump will destroy world trade, but democracies can defend themselves — and each other | the Guardian UK

by Anders Fogh Rasmussen

We need a trade block, a D7, that would mirror Nato. An economic attack on one would be an attack on all

Anders Fogh Rasmussen is a former prime minister of Denmark and 👉former secretary general of Nato


[He writes:]

The postwar global economic order, with the United States at its centre, has created more prosperity than any other period in human history. [by sucking the USA dry. –GC] Yet as Donald Trump takes a sledgehammer to that economic order, America’s democratic allies face a choice. We can accept the new cost of doing business with the US. We can follow the US down a path of mutually assured economic destruction with an ever-escalating trade war. Or we can find new avenues to keep free trade alive.

[FREE? You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! –FREE to the EU but NOT to the USA that is getting raped via multiple methods. -GC]

My proposition? I believe we need a new platform for economic cooperation between the world’s seven leading democracies. Call it the “Democratic 7”, or “D7”. The EU, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea represent roughly 25% of global GDP and account for about 35% of global trade volume. Together, these democracies can help to shield each other from the threats of economic nationalism and coercion – while also championing democracy, the rule of law, and market economics…


GEE, the EU, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea… What do they all have in common? WHY THE US MILITARY GUARDS THEM! 🤔🤓

What happens if the USA under Trump joins BRICS?

This problem was also identified by Angelo M. Codevilla (may he rest in peace) in July of 2010.

America’s Ruling Class—And the Perils of Revolution

…The only serious opposition to this arrogant Ruling Party is coming not from feckless Republicans but from what might be called the Country Party—and its vision is revolutionary.

As over-leveraged investment houses began to fail in September 2008, the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties, of major corporations, and opinion leaders stretching from the National Review magazine (and The Wall Street Journal) on the right to The Nation magazine on the left, agreed that spending some $700 billion to buy the investors’ “toxic assets” was the only alternative to the U.S. economy’s “systemic collapse.” In this, President George W. Bush and his would-be Republican successor John McCain agreed with the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama. Many, if not most, people around them also agreed upon the eventual commitment of some 10 trillion nonexistent dollars in ways unprecedented in America. They explained neither the difference between the assets’ nominal and real values, nor precisely why letting the market find the latter would collapse America.

The public objected immediately, by margins of three or four to one.

When this majority discovered that virtually no one in a position of power in either party or with a national voice would take their objections seriously, that decisions about their money were being made in bipartisan backroom deals with interested parties, and that the laws on these matters were being voted by people who had not read them, the term “political class” came into use. Then, after those in power changed their plans from buying toxic assets to buying up equity in banks and major industries but refused to explain why, when they reasserted their right to decide ad hoc on these and so many other matters, supposing them to be beyond the general public’s understanding, the American people started referring to those in and around government as the “ruling class.” …

The Republican Party did not disparage the ruling class, because most of its officials are or would like to be part of it.

Never has there been so little diversity within America’s upper crust. Always, in America as elsewhere, some people have been wealthier and more powerful than others. But until our own time America’s upper crust was a mixture of people who had gained prominence in a variety of ways, who drew their money and status from different sources and were not predictably of one mind on any given matter….

Today’s ruling class, from Boston to San Diego, was formed by an educational system that exposed them to the same ideas and gave them remarkably uniform guidance, as well as tastes and habits. These amount to a social canon of judgments about good and evil, complete with secular sacred history, sins (against minorities and the environment), and saints. Using the right words and avoiding the wrong ones when referring to such matters — speaking the “in” language — serves as a badge of identity. Regardless of what business or profession they are in, their road up included government channels and government money because, as government has grown, its boundary with the rest of American life has become indistinct. Many began their careers in government and leveraged their way into the private sector. Some, e.g., Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, never held a non-government job. Hence whether formally in government, out of it, or halfway, America’s ruling class speaks the language and has the tastes, habits, and tools of bureaucrats. It rules uneasily over the majority of Americans not oriented to government.

…The two classes have less in common culturally, dislike each other more, and embody ways of life more different from one another than did the 19th century’s Northerners and Southerners — nearly all of whom, as Lincoln reminded them, “prayed to the same God.” By contrast, while most Americans pray to the God “who created and doth sustain us,” our ruling class prays to itself as “saviors of the planet” and improvers of humanity. Our classes’ clash is over “whose country” America is, over what way of life will prevail, over who is to defer to whom about what. The gravity of such divisions points us, as it did Lincoln, to Mark’s Gospel: “if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”….


And thus the Tea Party was formed and ATTACKED by both the Democrats (LINK 1 and LINK 2) followed by the Republicans — Chamber of Commerce to Spend $100 Million to Destroy Tea Party. I guess the big transnational corporations did not like the idea of the serfs organizing.

Here is an example of the types of articles you would see in academic circles.

A Nation Dispossessed: The Tea Party Movement and Race — 2011

Leonard Zeskind

Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights, USA

Critical Sociology 0(0) 1–15 © The Author(s) 2011 Reprints and permission: https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/journals

Abstract

This analysis combines both qualitative information and quantitative data. The author reviewed numerous first person reports of Tea Party rallies, conferences and meetings from every corner of the country, and read most of the movement’s own literature. The Tea Parties are described as a unique movement appearing at a specific historical moment. The movement encompasses constituent national networks, core members and more loosely aligned supporters. Its supporters are overwhelmingly white and middle class. Matters of race and national identity motivate many Tea Partiers as well as a sense of dispossession from their place of privilege in the racial order. This analysis takes at face value the movement’s dress, symbols and invocation of the constitution, as well as its claims to embody the aspirations of a narrow body of ‘real Americans’. By making an exclusionary claim on the nation’s founding moments, they actually set themselves apart from other Americans.…

Conclusion
Social movements do not last forever. More often than not, they have one or another or a combination of three fates. One, they are either victorious and decline after reaching their goal. Two, they are defeated outright. Three, they are co-opted by some larger institution.

The militia movement that emerged in the 1990s, for example, was defeated following the
Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 by a concerted campaign of civic opposition and government repression. Militia groups have reappeared, but the movement itself is gone as of now. To go back further in history, the Ku Klux Klan and other white-minded thugs that emerged during the Reconstruction period after the Civil War were essentially victorious in re-establishing the system of white supremacy in the former Confederacy, and the Klan dissolved effortlessly into the Democratic Party before the end of the century. The Klan in the 1920s may have suffered from the scandals surrounding its leadership, but the movement did not die until after it won a change in the 1924 immigration law that protected Anglo-Saxon hegemony for another generation. After that it basically closed up shop, except in the Deep South. The Klan, the Citizens Councils, the Birchers
and the segregationists in the 1950s and 1960s were decisively defeated by the black freedom movement, and they were left standing with empty hands after Governor George Wallace’s independent presidential campaign in 1968. Only the Republican Party gained after it adopted its infamous ‘Southern Strategy’.

The decisive moments that will decide the Tea Parties’ fate have not yet occurred. The movement’s sights are set squarely on November 2012. If they win back the presidency for the Republican Party, the movement might or might not dissolve into squabbling factions. If they perceive that they have lost that election, or the Republican primaries before it, an internal power struggle may or may not split it irrevocably apart. Win, lose or draw, however, the Tea Party movement has already left important markers on America’s political landscape: First, in the current debate over economic policy and the national debt, they have moved the discussion toward fiscal restraint and de-regulation. They stand in the way of environmental protection and other measures by which the federal government might promote the common good. Of more long-term consequence, however, will be its legacy in the arena of race. Please consider that the Tea Party movement may be a precursor of an even larger revolt by supposedly dispossessed white people as the expected population and demographic shifts occur in the decades to come.

Keywords Tea Party, Tea Party movement, nationalism, racism, white dispossession, white majority fears, white nationalism

Good Grief the Tea Party was NEVER, EVER about RACE. It was about the Federal Reserve, Fractional Reserve Banking, TOO MUCH TAX and not enough FISCAL RESTRAINT! By ignoring the complaints and driving the Tea Party underground the Globalists forced the birth of MAGA.

…..

Wolf Moon in a comment thread gets into more of this information and its connections to today via Jack Smith.

I did research this. What I know is that his name is John L. Smith, where L is weird and I forgot what it is.

And he was indeed an attorney for the ICC/ICJ in the Hague – even Politico fact-checks this as TRUE, with lots of details.

But THIS is the most important part.

I did a Twitter thread on the guy, last year.

The Hague is a city in the Netherlands that is the home of U.N.’s International Court of justice and the International Criminal Court. So Jack Smith worked for the Globalists. — GC

TEXT from the first few tweets.

The entire problem of “John Smith” (yes, that’s his real name) as special counsel is explained by this great article on Smith’s insane war against the Tea Party movement. The guy will relentlessly push bad theories until other people get into trouble.

Jack Smith’s Tortured History With Republicans in Congress

This guy John Smith is literally, personally, WHY there was a Tea Party IRS scandal. Without him, no scandal. He’s the one who pushed the IRS into criminal persecution of conservatives. His DOJ then had IRS people pleading the Fifth to hide crimes against American citizens. [VIDEO]

IMO, dirty judge Merrick Garland and Obama DOJ handler Lisa Monaco chose Smith not to win the case, but to drive Trump out of politics. Smith did exactly that to John Edwards. Smith LOST his case against Edwards, but drove him out of politics for good.

Trump special counsel Jack Smith lost the John Edwards case — what might that mean?


Wolfm00n gives more examples of Smith’s sucessful lawfare cases used to destroy political opponents.

….

So, getting back to Angelo Codevilla’s article, WHERE did all that 2008-9 bank bailout money actually go??? Why to our European Masters of course. SEE: The Federal Reserve’s Covert Bailout of Europe And the American Tax Payer got stuck with the TRILLIONS in debt AS USUAL.

It is interesting that POTUS Trump is FINALLY going after the EU that has been taking advantage of the USA since WWII. FINALLY, the US might stop hemorrhaging wealth and lives.

…

TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS

The Network of Global Corporate Control

 …we find that only 737 top holders accumulate 80% of the control over the value of all TNCs [Trans National Corporations] …This means that network control is much more unequally distributed than wealth. In particular, the top ranked actors hold a control ten times bigger than what could be expected based on their wealth…

…In detail, nearly 4/10 of the control over the economic value of TNCs in the world is held, via a complicated web of ownership relations, by a group of 147 TNCs in the core, which has almost full control over itself. The top holders within the core can thus be thought of as an economic “super-entity” in the global network of corporations. A relevant additional fact at this point is that 3/4 of the core are financial intermediaries….


Exposing the Financial Core of the Transnational Capitalist Class

Introduction

In this study, we decided to identify in detail the people on the boards of directors of the top ten asset management firms and the top ten most centralized corporations in the world. Because of overlaps, there is a total of thirteen firms, which collectively have 161 directors on their boards. We think that this group of 161 individuals represents the financial core of the world’s transnational capitalist class. They collectively manage $23.91 trillion in funds and operate in nearly every country in the world. They are the center of the financial capital that powers the global economic system. Western governments and international policy bodies work in the interests of this financial core to protect the free flow of capital investment anywhere in the world…


The Transnational Capitalist Class (2000), Leslie Sklair argued that globalization elevated transnational corporations (TNC) to more influential international roles, with the result that nation-states became less significant than international agreements developed through the World Trade Organization (WTO) and other international institutions.8 Emerging from these multinational corporations was a transnational capitalist class, whose loyalties and interests, while still rooted in their corporations, was increasingly international in scope. Sklair wrote:

The transnational capitalist class can be analytically divided into four main fractions: (i) owners and controllers of TNCs and their local affiliates; (ii) globalizing bureaucrats and politicians; (iii) globalizing professionals; (iv) consumerist elites (merchants and media). .  . It is also important to note, of course, that the TCC and each of its fractions are not always entirely united on every issue. Nevertheless, together, leading personnel in these groups constitute a global power elite, dominant class or inner circle in the sense that these terms have been used to characterize the dominant class structures of specific countries...

This is why the Supreme Court decisions to give these TNCs control of our political campaigns was so detrimental to the USA. It explains why the Republicans and Democrats are globalists and not patriots.

☕️ TRADING MAYORS ☙ Tuesday, May 20, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠


A Major Hat-tip to barkerjim for introducing me to C&C News.

…⚖️ Rounding out today’s accountability trifecta, on Sunday the Washington Post ran an intriguing story headlined, “Trump Justice Dept. considers removing key check on lawmaker prosecutions.” The “key check” is a Biden-era rule that forbids Attorneys General from investigating public officials for corruption without first getting permission from the DC field office. You can guess how often that happens.

According to leakers (“three people familiar with the proposal”), federal prosecutors across the country may soon be able to indict members of Congress without pre-approval from “lawyers in the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section,” or PIN, which is safely settled in Washington, DC where politicians can keep a wary eye on them.

Even better, under the new plan, FBI investigators and prosecutors would also be freed from having to ‘consult’ with the section’s attorneys “during key steps of probes into public officials.” In other words, even when the DC office did green-light an indictment, it still micromanaged the whole investigation.

Currently, the DOJ’s manual requires that PIN’s attorneys must approve —not just be consulted on— any charges against members of Congress. It doesn’t happen often, to say the least.

WaPo, probably intentionally, missed the painfully obvious point: a special oversight privilege for public officials provides them with a special tier of justice that other Americans do not enjoy. WaPo whined that the Public Integrity Section’s role was to “ensure that cases against public officials are legally sound and not politically motivated.”

But … what about us? Wouldn’t it be better and fairer to ensure that cases against all Americans are legally sound and not politically motivated, and not just public officials?

The ironically named Public Integrity office has already “dramatically shrunk” during the Trump administration, plunging from around 30 prosecutors by the end of the Biden administration to fewer than five today. One was fired, some rage-quit over the dismissal of the DOJ’s case against New York’s Democrat Mayor Eric Adams, while others have been “detailed to different sections in the department,” such as the division of Indian Affairs. In Trump’s first week in office, he fired PIN Director Corey Amundson.

It sure makes you think. Say you were planning to initiate wide-scale investigations into members of Congress, maybe for NGO abuse, insider trading, or general self-enrichment. This kind of thing would probably be your first move. Just saying.

C&C News on Tariffs

☕️ DULY PROCESSED ☙ Saturday, May 17, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠

President Trump and his team appear to have no intention of losing Congress in next year’s midterms. And after seeing Trump’s scorched-earth tariff plan, imagine what similar kind of comprehensive strategy they might be deploying to completely destroy the Democrat brand. That is what I believe is happening.

The Democrats are getting further and further behind.

Here’s a thought experiment. Imagine that the next 18 months sees a steady series of increasingly damning disclosures about Biden’s lack of a real presidency plus the mounting evidence of 2020’s stolen election?

Remember, just like they gained access to the Biden Audio, the Trump Team now has access to all that information, too. They have receipts….

Whoopsies! Sorry, experts. This week, Politico ran a story headlined, “Tariffs have little impact on prices, defying forecasts.” Unexpectedly!

On Tuesday, the Labor Department reported that prices only rose at an annualized rate of 2.3 percent, the smallest increase since 2020— before the pandemic. And that was in spite of tariffs. It’s almost like Trump’s tariffs have had the opposite effect the experts sagely predicted.

An honest media would call the experts to account, and require them to explain why they were wrong. But Politico’s story lavishly applied the passive voice (“prices were expected to climb”), obscuring who was wrong, generously giving unreliable experts a pass. Oh well.

From Shadow Stat Alternate Inflation Charts

….The CPI-U (consumer price index) is the broadest measure of consumer price inflation for goods and services published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). 

While the headline number usually is the seasonally-adjusted month-to-month change, the formal CPI is reported on a not-seasonally-adjusted basis, with annual inflation measured in terms of year-to-year percent change in the price index.

In the charts to the right we show two SGS-Alternate CPI estimates: One based on the pre-1990 official methodology for computing the CPI-U, and the other based on the methodology which was employed prior to 1980.

Please note:  Our Data Download is currently only providing the 1980-Based numbers, but 1990-Based numbers will be introduced shortly.

KMAG 20250521 OPEN TOPIC plus EGYPT

Were there canals in ancient Egypt?

Did ancient Egypt use canals?

Archaeological evidence for canal use is shown at many sites throughout Egypt including places such as the Giza plateau and where the Suez canal is today. The earliest written record of canal digging comes from about 3,100 BC…

Is it true that the pharaohs had a canal built?

Its origins date back to ancient Egypt.

The Egyptian Pharaoh Senusret III may have built an early canal connecting the Red Sea and the Nile River around 1850 B.C., and according to ancient sources, the Pharaoh Necho II and the Persian conqueror Darius both began and then abandoned work on a similar project.

What ancient civilization used canals?

Ancient Egypt

The Nile River, the lifeblood of Egypt, was utilized to create an extensive canal system for irrigation, transportation, and defense purposes. Notable canal features within ancient Egypt include: The construction of the “”Canal of the Pharaohs,”” connecting the Nile River to the Red Sea….


WIKI: Canal of the Pharaohs

At least as far back as Aristotle there have been suggestions that perhaps as early as the 12th Dynasty, Pharaoh Senusret III (1878–1839 BC), called Sesostris by the Greeks, may have started a canal joining the River Nile with the Red Sea. In his Meteorology, Aristotle wrote:

One of their kings tried to make a canal to it (for it would have been of no little advantage to them for the whole region to have become navigable; Sesostris is said to have been the first of the ancient kings to try), but he found that the sea was higher than the land. So he first, and Darius afterwards, stopped making the canal, lest the sea should mix with the river water and spoil it. [10]

Strabo also wrote that Sesostris started to build a canal, as did Pliny the Elder (see quote further down).[11]

However, the canal was probably first cut or at least begun by Necho II (r. 610–595 BC), in the late 7th century BC, and it was either re-dug or possibly completed by Darius the Great (r. 550–486 BC). Classical sources disagree as to when it was finally completed….


Canal of the Pharaohs: The Forerunner to The Suez Canal


…According to Greek historians Strabo and Diodorus Siculus, after Sesostris, work on the canal was continued by Necho II in the late 6th century BC, but he did not live to see the canal completed. Later, Darius the Great picked up from where Necho II left, but like Sesostris, he too stopped short of the Red Sea when he was informed that the Red Sea was at a higher level and would submerge the land if an opening was made. It was finally Ptolemy II who finished the canal connecting Nile with the Red Sea. According to Strabo the canal was nearly 50 meters wide and of sufficient depth to float large ships. It began at the village of Phacusa and traversed the Bitter Lakes, emptying into the Gulf or Arabia near the the city of Cleopatris…


So the idea of a canal linking the Mediterranean to the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea has been active since ancient times.


Wiki’s:  Suez Canal  give a history of the various attempts, successes, abandonment and retries over the centuries.


…It was re-excavated by Roman emperor Trajan in the first century AD… A geography treatise De Mensura Orbis Terrae written by the Irish monk Dicuil (born late 8th century) reports a conversation with another monk, Fidelis, who had sailed on the canal from the Nile to the Red Sea during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the first half of the 8th century… During the 16th century, the Ottoman’s made another try but it was too expensive… in late 1798, Napoleon expressed interest in finding the remnants of an ancient waterway passage…. Napoleon contemplated the construction of a north–south canal to connect the Mediterranean with the Red Sea. By avoiding the silt-laden Nile, such a canal would be easier to maintain. But the plan was abandoned because of the erroneous belief that the Red Sea was 8.5 m (28 ft) higher than the Mediterranean…. As late as 1861, the unnavigable ancient route discovered by Napoleon from Bubastis to the Red Sea still channelled water as far east as Kassassin…

At this point Wiki gets into the historic period of interest.

INTERIM PERIOD

Despite the construction challenges that could have been the result of the alleged difference in sea levels, the idea of finding a shorter route to the east remained alive. In 1830, General Francis Chesney submitted a report to the British government that stated that there was no difference in elevation and that the Suez Canal was feasible, but his report received no further attention. Lieutenant Waghorn established his “Overland Route”, which transported post and passengers to India via Egypt

 The usefulness of this route for the British Empire was shown when dealing with the Indian Rebellion of 1857, with 5,000 British troops having passed through Egypt….

CONSTRUCTION

The British government had opposed the project from the outset to its completion. The British, who controlled both the Cape route and the Overland route to India and the Far East, favored the status quo, given that a canal might disrupt their commercial and maritime supremacy. 👉Lord Palmerston, the project’s most unwavering foe, confessed in the mid-1850s the real motive behind his opposition: that Britain’s commercial and maritime relations would be overthrown by the opening of a new route, open to all nations, and thus deprive his country of its present exclusive advantages.👈 As one of the diplomatic moves against the project when it nevertheless went ahead, it disapproved of the use of “forced labour” for construction of the canal. Involuntary labour on the project ceased, and the viceroy condemned the corvée, halting the project.

International opinion was initially skeptical, and shares of the Suez Canal Company did not sell well overseas. Britain, Austria, and Russia did not buy a significant number of shares. With assistance from the Cattaui banking family, and their relationship with James de Rothschild of the French House of Rothschild bonds and shares were successfully promoted in France and other parts of Europe….

The canal opened under French control in November 1869….

The canal had an immediate and dramatic effect on world trade. Combined with the American transcontinental railroad completed six months earlier, it allowed the world to be circled in record time. It played an important role in increasing European colonization of Africa.

The construction of the canal was one of the reasons for the Panic of 1873 in Great Britain, because goods from the Far East had, until then, been carried in sailing vessels around the Cape of Good Hope and stored in British warehouses.

An inability to pay his bank debts led Said Pasha’s successor, Isma’il Pasha, in 1875 [right after the end of the US Civil War when American Cotton became available again and depressed the price paid by Britian for cotton] to sell his 44% share in the canal for £4,000,000 ($19.2 million), equivalent to £432 million to £456 million ($540 million to $570 million) in 2019, to the government of the United Kingdom. [Actually the House of Rothschild] French shareholders still held the majority. Local unrest caused the British to invade in 1882 and take full control, although nominally Egypt remained part of the Ottoman Empire.

The British representative from 1883 to 1907 was Evelyn Baring, 1st Earl of Cromer, who reorganized and modernized the government and suppressed rebellions and corruption, thereby facilitating increased traffic on the canal….

At this point I am going to jump to a site in the UK.

The site is run by Stephen Luscombe a UK teacher who taught in France, the Middle East and Japan. He says:

First of all, I would like to make it clear that this site is not a rigorous academic site. I am sure there are plenty of mistakes and oversights on my part; for which I apologise in advance. My interest in the subject is purely that of a personal journey of discovery; to give myself a reason to research what I regard as a fascinating subject. Link

Egypt & The British Empire

rade links had existed between the two countries for as long as anyone could remember. Egypt was a key part of the old spice and trade routes between Europe and Asia. British traders had been loading and unloading their cargoes in Ottoman waters for generations.

British military and political interest in Egypt first manifested itself as it became obvious that in the Eighteenth Century, India was falling under the influence of Britain (and away from France). Despite, the direct sail routes around the Cape of Good Hope, Egypt still provided the quickest way of maintaining communications between Britain and and India. It required a brief overland journey, but it was still substantially quicker than circumnavigating Africa. India. It required a brief overland journey, but it was still substantially quicker than circumnavigating Africa….

He then goes into Napoleon attempted grab, the rise of the Egyptian leader, Muhammed Ali and the Brits & Ottomans defeat of this Egyptian leader. This is followed by the French involvement and the building of the canal.

…It was the French who were thought to be the most active in the North Africa region. They funded the Suez Canal and steadily increased their economic base in the country. British interest in Egypt developed during the American Civil War. At this time, British mills were starved of cotton. Alternative sources had to be found and one such source was to be Egypt whose cotton was actually a particularly good quality product. British companies began investing heavily in the production of cotton in Egypt. The hugely ambitious public works programs of the ruling Khedives also attracted British businessmen and their wares. Although, Egypt’s inability to pay for these modern conveniences was not yet thought to be a barrier to trade.

British strategic interest in Egypt was captured in 1869 when the Suez Canal was officially opened. The sailing times from London to Bombay were dramatically cut. British maps and ideas of the world had to be radically altered. The fact that the canal was controlled by the Khedive and the French government was initially a serious concern to the British. Although, It is from this point on that British decisiveness and speed of actions which consistently outwitted and out-manouevered the French and brought Egypt under Imperial British control. The first opportunity to pull away from the French was in 1875 when it became obvious that the Khedive had got himself into serious economic difficulties. The only way he could stave off creditors was by raising a seriously large amount of money. It was at this point that Disraeli was able to step in and offer to buy the Khedive’s shares in the Suez Canal Company. The speed of action on this event left the French reeling. Overnight, the British went from being a minority shareholder to being the controlling shareholder. Her influence had grown considerably as a result…

In only a few years the Egyptian government was again in economic difficulties. This time, the British and French governments initiated a stewardship of the finances of Egypt. In effect, this stewardship was little more than a joint form of colonization. British and French experts were to be sent to the various ministries in order to take control of day to day business of them. The Khedive’s unwillingness to agree to such loss of control was rewarded by his forced abdication and replacement by his son Tawfiq. The steady loss of sovereignty was keenly felt by many Egyptians. So much so that in 1882, Arabi Pasha initiated a revolt from inside the Egyptian army. In June of that year, riots broke out against the Europeans in Egypt. From this point on Britain took the initiative. The French refused participation in a bombardment of Alexandria due to political problems back at home. Surprisingly for a Liberal government, The British finally resolved on intervention and sent an expeditionary force to the Suez Canal. The Arabists were rapidly defeated at Tel el-Kabir in September and Cairo was occupied the next day. Accidentally, the British had found themselves to be masters of Egypt….

ative Council was suspended. After the Ottomans declared war on the allies on October 29th 1914, the British moved swiftly to break the technical link between the Ottoman Empire and the status of Egypt. The fate of the Suez Canal was just too important to take any chances and technically it was in enemy territory if Egypt was indeed a suzerain of Turkey. Indeed, Britain declared that the Canal was closed to all but allied and neutral shipping – despite international agreements to the contrary. Additionally, they deposed the Turcophile Khedive Abbas (who happened to be in Turkey at the time of their declaration of war) and created the new title of Sultan of Egypt on 19 December 1914 and engineered the pro-British Hussein Kamel to ascend the new position. The newly created Sultanate of Egypt was declared a British Protectorate rather than colony meaning that its people were subject of the Sultan rather than of King George. Hussein Kamel’s accession brought to an end the de jure Ottoman sovereignty over Egypt. But when Great Britain proclaimed this protectorate over Egypt in 1914, Saad Zaghlul’s benign attitude towards British rule changed fundamentally. The proclamation of the British protectorate united many of the different opposition groups in Egypt, and would become the starting point for Zaghlul’s new nationalism after the war.

The post-war international climate saw an increase in ideas of self-rule and independence – partly inspired by talk of Wilson’s 14 points, but also by a surge in national identities brought about by the war. Egypt’s nationalists, temporarily, saw how the rest of the Ottoman Empire was being divided up and wanted to be granted similar rights. Within days of the armistice Saad Zaghlul, the unofficial leader of Egyptian nationalism, headed to the British High Commissioner in Egypt, Sir Reginald Wingate, and informed him that the Egyptian people wanted their complete independence and that he would like to lead his delegation to London to negotiate with the British government.

The British government initially refused mindful of the continued importance of Egypt as a strategic concern. They did relent to say that they would meet with the Egyptian Prime Minister, but sensing the change in nationalist sentiment in his country, he not only refused but resigned. Saad Zaghlul called for a nationwide revolt. However, as martial law had not yet been rescinded, the authorities used their extensive powers to arrest Saad Zaghlul and deport him to Malta. This further inflamed nationalist sentiment and escalated into the 1919 revolution.

Riots broke out and Lord Allenby and Milner [of the Miner Round Tables -GC] were despatched from Britain to try and ascertain what to do next. They quickly came to the conclusion that it was better to grant independence to pro-British Egyptians rather than wait for nationalists to take power for themselves. Saad Zaghlul was released and allowed to return from Malta much to the joy of many Egyptians. However, negotiations over granting independence whilst still maintaining British troops in key positions, especially with regards to the Suez Canal, dragged on for two more years. Saad Zaghlul was once more sent into exile to the Seychelles, yet in reality both Allenby and Milner were of a like mind and resented the fact that it was politicians back in London who were delaying the inevitable. Eventually, it was Allenby who threatened to resign if independence were not granted. Lloyd George finally capitulated and agreed…

1920-30s

the newly installed King Fuad resented the constitutional challenges from the Egyptian Parliament and oscillated between undermining its power and having to turn back to Parliament to raise money. This lack of political stability in Egypt undermined its own influence. However, the Italian invasion of Abyssinia in 1935 concentrated minds and a renewed negotiation with Britain finally bore fruit with a new Treaty in 1936.

The treaty, under which Britain still retained a prominent if diminished influence, was to run for 20 years; both parties were committed to negotiating a further alliance in 1956, at which point Egypt would have the right to submit to third-party judgement the question of whether British troops were any longer necessary in Egypt. The British occupation of Egypt was formally ended, though British troops were to remain in some areas. As Egypt’s self-defence capability improved, they would be withdrawn gradually to the Canal Zone and Sinai where their numbers would be limited to 10,000. And Britain reserved the right of reoccupation with the unrestricted use of Egyptian ports, airports and roads in war-time…..

Although this is a favorable view of the History of the British Empire as expected from a British school teacher, it is very helpful since he has a column on the right with a timeline and with links to other articles.

Unfortunately, my free time has been drastically shortened so I will leave it to people to delve into this history of Egypt as they wish. I will be looking at the more recent history next week since it is critical to understanding the Middle East of today.

I am going to start where I ended yesterday, with the British Museums’ video: Britain’s WW1 gamble | Origins of the Israel-Palestine Conflict | Part 1

When you watch or read this, it is interesting to see what information they release and what they hide. Please remember the City of London/Rothschild’s.

  • Involvement in the US Civil War.
  • Support of Karl Marx and socialism/communism and the Fabians.
  • Hatred of Russia and involvement in the assassination of the Tsar that lead to the attacks on the Jewish people by the Russian population.
  • Funding of the Russian Revolution
  • Purchase of Egypt’s shares in the Suez Canal
  • US Federal Reserve Act of 1913
  • The takeover of the major US papers in 1915 by J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, ship building and powder interests and their subsidiary organizations
  • Also the  Anti–Defamation League formation in 1913.

To me it looks like the Arabs have very good reason to hate the Brits. That the Brits/Rothschilds orchestrated the whole darn mess, including driving Jews into Palestine and making Americans their cash cow and cannon fodder. This was ALL so they could protect their trade routes through the Suez Canal.


Abbreviated Transcript derived from Youtube AI:

…This is the Balfour Declaration. Signed in 1917, It set out British support for the creation of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine….

In fact, when the Balfour declaration was signed the British had already promised this land to Arabs as an independent state and promised the French government that it would be an internationally administered zone – and even then, most of the land was still under Ottoman control.

So why did Britain make these three conflicting promises? How did it try to resolve them? And how did Britain’s strategy in the Middle East help to cause a century of conflict?

0:54 — At the turn in 20th century Britain’s primary interest in the Middle East isn’t oil,… what we’re really looking at then is an imperial lifeline–it’s the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal is the quickest route from the Empire, especially India the jewel in the crown of the British Empire, to Britain.…

Britain had controlled Egypt since 1882 and believed that the Sinai Desert was enough of a buffer to defend the canal. But when the First World War began in 1914 the Ottoman Empire took Germany’s side. In February 1915 the Ottomans launched a surprise attack across the desert to attack the Suez Canal.

….the British are really worried that the Ottomans are going to use Sinai as a launchpad for further attacks on the canal.

There’s then a total mind change in British strategy back in London. There’s stalemate on the Western Front, the Russians are collapsing into revolution, and the idea now is to look for a quick victory somewhere else away from France and Flanders. And Lloyd George thinks Palestine is where we can do it.

We can knock the Ottomans out of the war, but also the Suez Canal will be safe from any threat. The area Britain had set its sights on was a larger one than today’s Israel/Palestine, made up of different regions east and west of the River Jordan. There were small Christian and Jewish populations, but the majority were Muslim Arabs.

2:27 — After centuries of Ottoman rule many many Arabs now wanted a nation of their own….in 1908 there’s a revolution within Turkey to try to strengthen and modernise the Empire,

it’s called the Young Turk Revolution. And what happens is some very nationalistic Turks take over

the government and are really into centralizing and pushing the idea of Turkish identity. And this really starts to rile a lot of these Arab leaders and this is where we start to get Pan-Arab nationalism coming up and the idea of one independent land for all of those Arab peoples.

One of those leaders was Sharif Hussein of Mecca. In charge of the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina, he was held in high regard by the local people. The British decided to use this to their advantage, promising him rulership over an independent Arab state if he rebelled against Ottoman rule. Sure enough in 1916 the revolt began with Hussein’s sons Faisal and Abdullah leading the fighting. As British and Commonwealth troops under General Allenby advanced through Palestine. Arab militia with help from T. E. Lawrence distracted the Ottomans…. And finally of course on the 1st of October 1918, Faisal and the Arab army have the honor of taking the surrender of Damascus.

But while the battle for Palestine was still raging, the British were doing secret backroom

deals elsewhere. Between November 1915 and January 1916 British and French diplomats …

carved up the Ottoman Empire into British and French spheres of influence. The borders were largely arbitrary, with little regard for ethnicity or religion of the local populations. [Operation Gladio Strategy of tension put in place. –GC]

France would receive modern day Syria and Lebanon as well as parts of Turkey and Iraq while Britain claimed the rest of modern day Iraq and southern and eastern Palestine. The remainder of the territory was to be under International control.

What the British are really looking for is an extra large buffer zone again for the Suez Canal, it’s all about the Suez Canal. The idea of making Palestine an international area, is really because the British don’t want to give this to the French, but the French don’t want the British to have it.

6:01 — Having already made commitments to Arab nationalists and the French government, in November 1917 the British made one more promise regarding the land in Palestine, this time to Zionists seeking to set up a national Jewish State. Zionism was a social movement that began in the 1800s. It was founded on the belief that Judaism was not only a religion but a nationality and that Jewish people deserved a state like British or French people did. …Interestingly there were three battalions of Jewish volunteers, one battalion of British, one of Americans, and one of Palestinian Jews.

7:00 — The British volunteers weren’t really interested in Zionism at all, they were more interested in using that military service, service to the crown to assimilate into British society. It was really the American volunteers and the local Jewish volunteers from Palestine who were really fired up by Zionism [Remember these ‘locals’ would have been the Jews shipped in by the Rothschilds earlier after a Jewish Agent killed the Tsar and the Russians retaliated against the Jews in Russia. –GC] and wanted to use this to defeat the Ottoman Empire and secure that Jewish homeland…. although Zionism was a popular movement, the majority of Jews were not Zionists and didn’t want to move to Palestine. Jewish immigration to Palestine had been slowly increasing throughout the 1900s, mainly fueled by brutal antisemitic and terrible pogroms in Russia. [Carrying water for the Rothschilds and Jewish Socialists who killed not only the Tsar but Russian officials as well are we? — GC] By 1914 the Jews in Palestine numbered around 60,000 or 8% of the population.

But for the British it was Zionists elsewhere that they were concerned with. In an effort to win the support of Jewish communities in both Allied countries like the United States, and enemy countries like Austria Hungary, the UK foreign secretary signed the Balfour declaration, vowing to set up a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine.

So the Balfour for declaration is signed in late 1917… [The same year as the Russian Revolution. GC]

8:35 — The British and French War efforts by this time are pretty much under pressure, there’s a manpower crisis, there’s a crisis in raw materials. The Americans have joined the war in April 1917 and we really need the Americans to to ramp up and get stuck into the war effort. So the idea is by supporting this Zionist idea it will get Jewish financiers and industrialists in America on side and they will put big pressure on the American government to keep them involved in the First World War and fight for the Allied cause. This idea, this is an antisemitic idea that the Jews control world finance and business across capitalist countries. And that idea takes hold and is one of the reasons we think they can put pressure on the American government.

9:45 — For the British these conflicting promises were worth making to assure that they came out on top in the world’s first Total War. And they were effective, Britain and France were victorious over the Central Powers in 1918. But now that the war was at an end, the British would have to face the consequences. The choices they made would help to spark a century of conflict.

Having captured Damascus in 1918, the British military left Faisal and his men in charge of a military occupation zone, an area that Faisal declared the Arab Kingdom of Syria.

However the French were not happy. Hoping to maintain their influence in the region they expelled Faisal in a short war. It was a crushing blow to the pan-Arab cause.

Instead it was the victorious Allied Powers who drew the new borders of the Middle East in a series of conferences from 1919 to 1923. With the formation of the League of Nations, Britain and France took control under a series of mandates.

Initially France was given the mandates for Syria and Lebanon while Britain was given the mandates for Mesopotamia and Palestine. But after Faisal’s defeat the British decided to split Palestine in two.

Faisal was given the crown of Mesopotamia and his brother Abdullah was given the crown of the newly created Transjordan. The remainder of Palestine would be strictly British.

So this 1924 map shows the Palestine that came into being after the First World War. It is not part of a pan-Arab state, in fact there is no pan Arab state in this region. Also it is not an internationally controlled area or an area in which the French have any control at all. It is a British administered League of Nations mandate.

What this Mandate for Palestine does have however written into its statute is the Balfour Declaration of a home for the Jewish people in Palestine.

Jewish immigration to mandatory Palestine continue to grow. By 1931 there were 176,000 Jewish people living there, making up 17% of the population. This led to increased tensions, riots, and violence between the new arrivals and local Arabs, who, along with existing Christian populations, were starting to see themselves not only as Arabs but as distinctly Palestinian people.

What these new Jewish settlers bring in is lots of financial backing and they start to buy up more and more land. So it’s more of the fertile agricultural land of Palestine which actually makes the Jewish population increasingly economically dominant in the area. The British government gets very very worried about this. In 1930 the Colonial Secretary puts forward a white paper to drastically limit Jewish immigration into the Palestine mandate. The following year 1931, pressure from Zionists within the British government and also World Zionist leaders talks Ramsey McDonald in to dropping the white paper. And from that moment there is no limit on Jewish immigration into Palestine.

This reversal coincided with events elsewhere that would supercharge the conflict. In 1933 Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany and began instituting a wave of antisemitic policies. This sent shock waves through the Jewish communities of Europe. However for those seeking to flee options were few, with most governments maintaining strict limits on Jewish immigration. For many Jews, Zionists or not, traveling to Palestine became the only option.

13:40 — By 1936 the Jewish contingent inside Mandatory Palestine had doubled to 28% of the population. Now tensions began to escalate at an alarming rate what began as a general strike among Palestinian Arabs in 1936 devolved into violent attacks on Jewish settlements and British military installations. [Think how we Americans feel about all the illegals shipped into our country. -GC]

This event became known as The Great Revolt.

From this point really you can see Palestinian Arab nationalism as opposed to pan-Arab nationalism. They’re fighting against an issue, that Jewish homeland and British control in the region, that no other mandate or any other has to fight against. And they want their own Palestinian State, an independent country free from British control.

The British response was to crush the revolt as quickly as possible with overwhelming strength.

They brought a surge of new troops, more men than were serving in India at the time, and declared martial law in 1937. Favoring tactics of collective punishment they destroyed homes and burned villages to the ground, they used aerial bombing even on urban areas, and arrested killed or exiled Arab leaders fracturing their movement. In addition the British use Jewish auxiliary units to fight the Arabs during the revolt.

But this is a real turnaround from 1921 when they disband the Jewish Legion. Now in 1936/37 the British are so overstretched that they really don’t care. They just need boots on the ground to sort this situation out and to end this revolt as quickly as possible. So by the end of the Arab Revolt 17% of the Arab male population are either killed, wounded, imprisoned, or exiled. This really weakens the Arab cause in Palestine just at the moment when the Jewish population is getting more and more power.

So the Brits stirred up generations of hatred. Remember prior to this Arabs, Jews and Christians lived in relative peace. Do not forget this passage:


By 1931 there were 176,000 Jewish people living there, making up 17% of the population.

This led to increased tensions, riots, and violence between the new arrivals and local Arabs, who, 👉along with existing Christian populations, were starting to see themselves not only as Arabs but as distinctly Palestinian people.👈

YEMEN


OPERATION GLADIO – CHAPTER 49 – “YEMEN” – EP.399 (start at 10 min)

I am only going to go over the first 30 minutes of this 2 hour video. It gives a completely different view of current events compared to what we get from the CIA propaganda ‘news.’

I do not know about the rest of you but I am getting darn sick and tired of being LIED TO so the Brits and the Bankers have an excuse to continue to kill our young folk and suck our wealth dry.

ROUGH TRANSCRIPT

10 min – 12:45 — Colonel Tower starts off with the CIA template.

If a country has something the International Syndicate (Cabal) wants like resources and the people elect someone that wants a FAIR SPLIT so the people get some benefit from those resources, the Cabal springs into action. The leader is attacked. [THINK PUTIN] First the leader is attacked financially. They isolate them and tell the IMF they can not loan them any money. Once they are surrounded and isolated and the leader, in desperation picks up the phone and calls, at the time the Soviet Union. [now it is China] The leader is then labeled a COMMUNIST. So the CIA calls them a communist and if they are a communist we [the CIA] get to kill them. So that’s the pattern.

14:40 – 18:00 — Colonel: Do you see the dip in the middle [northern border] straight down to to an inch below the southern border and west to Aden. Everything east and south of that is considered South Yemen. The rest is Northern Yemen. The people of Yemen have been trying to unify Yemen.

The Saudis wanted part of Northern Yemen. The British had most of Southern Yemen especially the port of Aden. They used that port for a 100 years. They had coal there [for the coal powered steam ships – GC] for the trips to India. So the Brits would come down and go just south of Yemen and stop at Aden [for coal -GC] and so they wanted control, So they invaded Yemen just like they invaded part of Egypt.

So this is very very important geographically. If you go all the way north through the straits there up to Egypt, that is where the Suez Canal is.

And just on the other side of the Suez Canal is Israel. And Israel is going to feature very prominently in our conversation tonight. All of this strait is very very strategic. A lot of money, I mean like trillions of dollars of shipping goes through there.

So you have the setting up of some horrific friction with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Yemen, Oman. And going a little bit further south you have the Horn of Africa, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Sudan and those are all the hotspots, right?

So the whole time I was in the military, these were the hotspots. When I was part of Sitcom, we had the whole Horn of Africa as part of Central Command. This was SCHIFF HOT all the time. Crap going down all the time.

18 mins — Colonel: Until recently when I started researching Operation Gladio I had no clue. Zoom in close to Djbouti. Just off the coast, notice all the little islands. Let me tell you what that is. It is an archipelago. [A chain or cluster if islands -GC] It is a very very interesting place. That archipelago is called DAHKAK archipelago.

Let me tell you a little bit about that. There was an article that was written in august of 2024 talking about explosions happening on that island. The Island was vacated and no one was allowed to live on it. And surveillance showed that Israel was building an intelligence base there. They detonated all kinds of munitions there. And it says the local reporting in Eritrea was that Yemen had attacked that base because Israel had basically taken over the archipelago.

One of the things I look for when I look for Operation Gladio stuff is ISLANDS. If you remember back a year ago when we first started talking about this, where did Otto Skorzeny do all of his training. He did it on islands like Sardinia off the coast of Italy, the Canary Islands, where Robert Maxwell went missing. So I always check out the islands off the coast of these places. [Hot Spots — GC] It is funny because Ghost had sent me a text the other day and asked me if I had ever heard of these. And yes I had back when I was first looking at the Horn of Africa Countries when we were doing our around-the-world-tour. Israel is working with the Muslim community on that island.

This is the article the Colonel is talking about:

Explosions Rock Israeli Intelligence Base Off Eritrea

21:15– Colonel: See that island off the Coast of the Horn of Africa? South of Yemen? Let me tell you a bit about that island. This one is going to blow your mind.

The Colonel then brings up an article by The Cradle. I found 2 articles on Yemen.

Who is looting Yemen’s oil, and where does it all go?

…..

Tyranny on the waters: The UAE-Israeli occupation of Yemen’s Socotra Island

And a third via ALETHO News:

UAE, Israel expand spy bases in Yemen’s Socotra under US-sponsorship: Report

Which has RELATED ARTICLES:

Funny how our CIA Mockingbird Media never shows us THIS side of the story. It certainly explains why Yemen feels justified in attacking ships.

…..

Going back to the first Cradle article ,the one that the Colonel discusses:

UAE, Israel expand spy bases in Yemen’s Socotra under US-sponsorship: Report

The transformation of Yemen’s strategically-located Socotra Island into an Emirati-Israeli military intelligence hub has raised concerns for the Ansarallah movement and its allies, significantly increasing the geopolitical stakes of the Yemen war.

Located off the southern coast of Yemen in the Arabian Sea, the Socotra archipelago has become a focal point of regional and international interest because of its strategic proximity to one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.

On 21 June, 2020, the Yemeni island was militarily occupied by Saudi Arabia’s Emirati [UAE] coalition partner, which has aggressively pursued a policy of establishing and controlling ports throughout West Asia and the Horn of Africa since 1999….

The War on Yemen

The assault on Yemen was launched on 26 March, 2015, in an announcement by Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir from Washington DC, in which he stated that a coalition of ten countries, led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, would take military action to reinstate the government of Yemeni President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. [The Colonel says, based on several different accounts, that this is the CIA guy. -GC]

Hadi had been ousted in popular [INTERNAL- Colonel] protests in 2014, after losing the capital city, Sanaa, to the joint forces of the Ansarallah movement and their allies in the country’s armed forces. Based in northern Yemen, the Ansarallah movement had been advocating for fair representation in the government for a long time.


24:00 Colonel:

I want everyone to understand the Ansaraliah movement is the POLITICAL PARTY. When you refer to the Houthis that is actually the name of a guy… It is like calling Republicans Trumpers. It is that type of divisive slur. It is actually a slur to the Ansaraliah political party.
So there is an actual political party within Yemen who want all the foreigners out of their country. [SOUND FAMILIAR? — GC]

The Colonel reads more of the article:

With US-backing, Saudi Arabia launched “Operation Decisive Storm,” and the air strikes began. Initially expected to last only a few weeks or months – and according to MbS himself, just “a few days” – the Yemeni war has now entered its eighth year and taken on a markedly different shape than the coalition initially contended.

Two years into the war, the Emiratis began pursuing their own hidden agenda of establishing a “self-styled maritime empire” in Yemen, which veered sharply from Riyadh’s objectives. To achieve this goal, Abu Dhabi sought to control the country’s southern coastline and its ports and enlisted the help of a local Yemeni proxy called the Southern Movement.

The Southern Movement was formed by secessionist tribes [CIA backed – The Colonel] and groups seeking to divide Yemen along the old partition lines of 1967–1990. However, the movement had to be restructured to match the UAE’s aspirations, and in 2017 it was transformed into the Southern Transitional Council (STC).

26:45 — Colonel: So Israel is right here [Dahkah archipelago] and we are going to find out, Israel is right here [Socotra Island.]

26:53 — Alpha: When you say Israel, you’re talking about civilian presence or military?

26:58 — Colonel: Oh, no I am talking military. A Schiff ton of military. They’re setting up long runways. They’re setting up all kinds of surveillance. They are doing all kinds of schiff. Did you know that, I did not.

27:15 — Alpha: I did not. That is a long way from home. [You can see that looking at the map.]

27:40 The Colonel starts reading the article again and says, See if this rings a bell Alpha.

Passages from the Article are indented, the Colonel’s comments are not.

The significance of Socotra

Socotra Island falls under the territorial jurisdiction of the exiled Hadi government, which to this day – despite his physical absence [Because he got kicked out – Colonel] and the replacement of the “presidency” with an 8-member, Saudi-sponsored Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) – remains Yemen’s internationally-recognized government.

28:12 — Colonel: So we have a government in exile.

However, on 30 April, 2018, the UAE deployed hundreds of troops with artillery and armored vehicles on the island, which is located 350 km away from the mainland conflict, without any prior coordination with Yemeni authorities.


28:33 — Colonel: So let me rephrase this. [In the map provided by the Cradle] the striped part in South Yemen, is factions of CIA sponsored rebels. So Israel is right here [Dahkah archipelago] and we are going to find out, Israel is right here [Socotra Island] and UAE along with some Saudis. This Part over here [North Yemen without the stripes] is the actual Yemeni people that are freedom fighters. We’re just going to call them that. They have no CIA backing.

29:00 — Alpha: like a legit resistance.

29:10 — Colonel: Yeah, like a legit resistance that wants all the foreigners out of their country.

The guy that they kicked out of the presidency, this Hadi guy [Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi] is the government in exile, and that sounds exactly like Chiang Kai-shek when he got kicked out for being CIA backed as well. He got kicked out of China and put on the Island of Formosa [now Taiwan.] This is exactly what happened to this guy. He gets put on this island, but the UAE who’s over there in the striped area sets up a whole bunch of ports that the Saudis do not even know that they are controlling now. They just pop over here and take over the island too.

The Riyadh-backed Yemeni government condemned the Emirati aggression, backed by local islanders protesting against the occupation of their territory. The Saudis were forced to intervene by sending troops and training locals to deter the UAE from seizing the island.

But later that year, UAE General Khalfan al-Mazrouei arrived on Socotra Island and has since been considered its de facto ruler. Under his leadership, the Emiratis gained the loyalty of local tribes by using bribery under the guise of “humanitarian aid.” They offered Socotra residents UAE passports and promised them an improved quality of life…

Last Monday I saw this on X22 Report.

 Trump proposed that the United States “take over” and “own” the Gaza Strip, with Israel handing over control after the cessation of fighting. His vision included resettling Palestinians elsewhere, potentially in neighboring countries like Egypt or Jordan, and redeveloping Gaza into a “Riviera of the Middle East” for economic and tourism purposes. 

The Israeli plan, as described, focuses on Israel maintaining military control while facilitating the “voluntary departure” of Gaza residents, aligning with Trump’s resettlement concept but emphasizing Israeli operational control rather than direct U.S. ownership.

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump

I just had a very good and productive telephone conversation with the President of Turkey, Recep Erdoğan, concerning many subjects, including the War with Russia/Ukraine, all things Syria, Gaza, and more. The President invited me to go to Turkey at a future date and, likewise, he will be coming to Washington, D.C. During my four years as President, my relationship with President Erdoğan was excellent. We worked together closely on numerous things, including the fact that he helped return Pastor Andrew Brunson, who was imprisoned, back to the United States — Immediately upon my request. In any event, I look forward to working with President Erdoğan on getting the ridiculous, but deadly, War between Russia and Ukraine ended — NOW!

In the next two articles I want to take a look at why the Middle East and Gaza is so important.

Prussiagate: 1871 Part 2 – Buying the Prussian Dip – By Will Zoll. How the City of London forced the American Republic into debt, and set the stage for the Federal Reserve.

This is an incredibly important article. Yeah it is very long but it is jam packed with great info and concepts. PLEASE take the time to read it or listen to Patrick Gunnels🤮 reading it. (skip first 3 minutes of intro)

Will Zoll connects the City of London to Roman times, to the ‘Treaty of Washington 1871’ as well as Mercantilism and Gresham’s Law.

Those who wish to conquer nations are not interested in its laws, but instead its money. Therefore, the ‘District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871’ is not of great relevance to this series. However, the ‘Treaty of Washington 1871’ is another matter entirely… Understanding the connection between Mercantilism and Gresham’s Law is critical. These two systems worked together to ensure that bullion streamed into the City of London like a champagne fountain at a Great Gatsby party.


Will Zoll Aug 25, 2023

I will put some excerpts at the end of this article.

So what does the City of London, Mercantilism and Gresham’s Law have to do with the Gaza Strip, with Israel and with Yemen?

TRADE AND TRADE ROUTES

When reading this, keep in mind what POTUS Trump’s stated concerns are. Gaza, Yemen, Panama & Greenland not to mention tariffs and trade deals.

Nations, merchants and banks make money by moving products from point A to point B and charging the people at point B a lot more than they paid the people at point A for the product. Making the people at point A slaves does wonders for your bottom line, however if the trade route is long and hazardous you may still lose money. Therefore trade routes are very much a concern of the Cabal and have been for centuries. Also, just like the Chinese, they plan in terms of generations and not the next quarter.

Even today, ships are the preferred method for transporting goods, thus short cuts like the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal are still very important.

If you look at a globe 😉, You will see there are three natural trade routes. Through the Arctic sea, around the tip of South Africa and around the tip of South America. ALL of these routes are not only long they are nasty and dangerous.

This article takes a quick look at the Europe – Asia trade routes, the Brits and the Rothschilds.

8 Trade Routes That Shaped World History

Long-distance trade routes carried valuable products like gold, silk, and spices over land and sea for centuries, making an indelible impact on world history.

The author, Claire Cock-Starkey, lists the Silk Road, the Spice Routes, the Incense Route, the Amber Road, the Tea-Horse Road, the Salt Route, the Trans-Saharan Trade Route and the Tin Route. Of interest is The Spice Routes.

…North African and Arab middlemen controlled access to trade with the East, making such spices extremely costly and rare. From the 15th to the 17th centuries, new navigation technology made sailing long distances from Europe possible. Europeans took to the seas to forge direct trading relationships with Indonesia, China, and Japan. Some have argued the spice trade fueled the development of faster ships, encouraged colonization, and fostered new diplomatic relationships between East and West. Christopher Columbus had spices on his mind when he set out on his famous voyage in 1492.

And that brings us to the Ottoman Empire and the Brits. My focus, as usual, remains on our enemies, the Brits, Rothschilds and the City of London. Too bad our government no longer feels the same way!

Kissinger’s Public Confession as an Agent of British Influence:

…American memories were longer:The First World War was a temporary exertion, after which we withdrew into isolationism;during the ’20s the U.S. Navy Department still maintained a “Red Plan”👉to deal with the contingency of conflict with the British fleet.👈

It was not until the war with Hitler that the gap closed permanently….

…Bevin, the unlikely originator of this revolution in British diplomacy, shrewdly calculated that Britain was not powerful enough to influence American policy by conventional methods of pressure or balancing of risks. But by discreet advice, the wisdom of experience, and the presupposition of common aims, she could make herself indispensable, so that American leaders no longer thought of consultations with London as a special favor but as an inherent component of our own decision-making. 👉The wartime habit of intimate, informal collaboration thus became a permanent practice👈…

The CIA, and Kissinger, along with the bought and paid for media and Congress, made SURE it became a permanent practice. Thus the USA became the UK’s cannon fodder and piggy bank.

The History of the Silk Road Trade and Cultural Exchange:

BY Umair Waseem

Decline of the Silk Road:

…the Silk Road began its decline by the 15th century. The reasons why this occurred were several: the rise of the Ottoman Empire in the 14th century… Ottomans controlled much of the Silk Road in key parts that made it arduous for Europeans to access Asian markets.

….the discovery of the maritime trade route made it the efficient way to go. Maritime explorers began to explore sea routes to Asia bypassing the Silk Road totally as it had become an overland road. This led to a decline in trade patterned along the Silk Road accompanied by political instability and attacks….

Somewhere I had read that the Brits had agreements with the Ottoman Empire for trade routes through the Middle East. This is some of the information I dug up looking into that memory. It is pretty clear the Ottoman Empire was willing to negotiate various treaties as long as they got $$$ from the deal.

THE ANGLO-OTTOMAN TRADE IN THE WESTERN CASPIAN REGION IN THE 16TH CENTURY

Abstract

This article analyzes the engagement between Ottoman authorities and English merchants from the Muscovy Company within the Caucasus during the latter half of the sixteenth century. This period constitutes a significant phase in the evolution of international commerce and diplomatic ties, coinciding with the peak of the Ottoman Empire’s political and economic influence and the concomitant emergence of England as an active participant in global politics and trade. In 1553, Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent bestowed a capitulation of commercial privileges upon the English merchant and explorer Anthony Jenkinson, marking the inception of formal relations between the two states in the realm of trade.

British-Ottoman Trade Relations and the American Commercial Orientation Towards the Port of Smyrna 1740-1774

Abstract

The importance of trade relations between different countries… The history of one of the ancient cities with ancient historical depth, which is the city of Smyrna, a city that has a civilized history. It was one of the most important cities overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, and it brings together various cultural and economic activities. It has one of the most important ports in the world, as it has formed a forum for global trade since ancient times.

Smyrna is in Turkey across from Greece on the Mediterranean sea. Since 1930 it has been known as İzmir. Seems we are not the only ones into re-naming old places.

However this article is the one that really caught my attention. WHY all of a sudden did interest in making deals stop?

The making of an Ottoman port The quay of Izmir (Smyrna) in the nineteenth century — 24 pages

This is an interesting read as it details the squabbles between, France, England, the Ottoman empire and various merchants and other commercial interests.
What is important is other events going on in the world and the Rothschilds reactions.

…The quay of Izmir (Smyrna), known at the time as ‘les Quais de Smyrne’,(1) comprised a stone breakwater running the length of the city along the shore, two harbours and a considerable port infrastructure. It was one of the engineering feats of the nineteenth century as well as a tribute to private enterprise and capital. It was the first harbour infrastructure of its kind to be built in Ottoman Turkey and one of the earliest in the Ottoman Empire.(2) In design it was similar to the ports of Brest and Toulon, built by the same French company. Dussaud Brothers(3) were engineers with a first-class international reputation, having undertaken the construction of a number of ports: Cherbourg and Marseilles, besides Brest and Toulon, Trieste, Algiers,(4) Suez and Port Said.(5) The scale and modernity of the entire project put Izmir among the foremost city ports not only in the Near East but in the Mediterranean as a whole. It was a fitting distinction for a city that had dominated the external and internal trade of the Ottoman Empire since the middle of the eighteenth century.(6) The commercial importance of Izmir In 1889, with the harbour infrastructure in place, the British consul stationed in Izmir noted the economic dynamism of the city port….

A British project becomes French

The quay was in many respects a local project, born out of local needs, given the continuous increase in trade and shipping in the port of Izmir. It was initiated locally in the cities of Istanbul and Izmir, in the Ottoman Empire, and even financed locally at first. Both the initial concessionaires, J. H. Charnaud, A. Barker and G. Guarracino,(24) as well as the board of directors of the Smyrna Quay Company set up in 1868, namely A. Cousinéry, Baron Alliotti, P. Alliotti, E. de Creamer, F. Charnaud, K. Abro, A. Spartali and A. Alliotti,(25) with the exception of Cousinéry, who was French, were either British in origin or had British nationality; they were also long-term members of the city’s business community.(26) Despite subsequent bitter antagonism between the British community and diplomats, in its origins the quay was a British(27) project.(28)Aware that their plans might impinge upon the ‘vested rights or private interests’ of the owners of property on the sea front, including wharfs and warehouses,(29) the three concessionaires actively sought the agreement and support of the business community,(30) as well as the ‘assistance’ of British diplomats in both Istanbul and Izmir. Very early on, however, they became aware that the British consul in Izmir was going to be no friend of the project even when it was still in British hands….

Pg 15. …Negotiations were quite far advanced, the first instalment of £125,000 (3,125,000 francs) remained to be paid and the definitive contract to be signed,(105) when the deal fell through…. Both British and French sources relate that the British financiers could not raise enough funds by public subscription from individual investors on the London money market to effect the purchase. With no large-scale banques d’affaires in Britain eager to spearhead the deal, the requisite capital was not available.(108) The other important reason was that the Ottoman government, at a crucial point in the negotiations,(109) brought pressure to bear on Dussaud to abort the sale. Again British and French sources concur on this.(110) The government even hinted that Dussaud had no legal right to assign a concession to another individual. Although the Porte did not maintain this stance subsequently, it had the desired effect.(111) The Porte’s objections are not difficult to understand. For ‘the transfer of the Smyrna Quays to English hands [was] regarded in certain Turkish circles as part of a deeply-laid political scheme for increasing English political influence in Turkey’.(112) With the British failure to take over the company, it remained in French hands and the Porte became, to a large extent, the ultimate arbiter in this inter-imperialist rivalry…

Four years later, in 1886, Elie Dussaud, for the second time, proposed to sell his enterprise to a group of British buyers. However, the opposition of the French government and, more important, of the Ottoman government once more torpedoed negotiations.(113) Unable to sell it to the British, Dussaud offered in 1887 to sell out to the Ottoman government.(114)


“…With no large-scale banques d’affaires [Think the Rothschilds – GC] in Britain eager to spearhead the deal, the requisite capital was not available….” That would be in 1882.

Footnote 108 tells us a bit more.

PRO, FO 198/44, Granville, London, 22 May 1882, to Dufferin; see also AMAE, CCC, Vol. 54, Pellissier, Izmir, 4 and 8 June 1882, to Freycinet. British mercantile opposition to the project – represented in Britain by such institutions as the Manchester Chamber of Commerce – may also have influenced the London money market adversely.


So let’s see why the Rothschilds were not interested in financing this port. 25 years earlier:

Eustace Mullins – The Rothschilds

John Reeves, in his authorized biography, The Rothschilds, the Financial Rulers of Nations, noted that when the family met in London in 1857 for the marriage of Lionel’s daughter Leonora to her cousin Alphonse, son of James Rothschild of Paris, Disraeli (Prime Minister of England) declared,

“Under this roof are the heads of the family of Rothschild—a name famous in every capital of Europe and every division of the globe. If you like, we shall divide the United States into two parts, one for you, James, and one for you, Lionel. Napoleon will do exactly and all that I shall advise him.“

This was the political origin of the American Civil War. The Rothschilds feared the rapidly growing and increasingly prosperous free American Republic, and they privately resolved that it would be less of a danger to their worldwide interests if it were broken up into two smaller and weaker nations.

….

If you go back to my article Dear KMAG: 20250205 Open Thread & The Hidden Rulers You find articles showing:

1812 —  Rothschild bank of France founded

1815 — The defeat of Napoleon I. Due to the Rothschilds vast spy network, and a bit of trickery spooking traders into selling off consuls, Nathan Mayer Rothschild ended up with a return of approximately 20 to 1 on his investment. This gave the Rothschild family complete control of the British economy, now the financial centre of the world following Napolean’s defeat.

1852 — Napoleon I’s, cousin, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, founded the Second French Empire (1852 to 1870) and ruled as Emperor Napoleon III. — from WIKI

1853 – 1856 –The Crimean War was the Russian Empire vs the Ottoman Empire, the Second French Empire, Britain and the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont – from WIKI

January 1860 — The London Morning Post bluntly called for the restoration of British rule in America. The Post was known as a mouthpiece for Lord Palmerston, Britain’s Prime Minister. 

March 1881 — Rothschild’s Red terrorists (Jews) finally succeeded in assassinating the Tzar Alexander II of Russia.

1881–1884 – Pogroms, anti-Jewish violence by non-Jewish street mobs occur in the Russian Empire in retaliation to the assassination of the Tzar and other officials.

…..

So by 1882 the Rothschilds had orchestrated the pressure needed to form the nation of Israel and colonize the land they wanted for a new trade route. Currying favor with the Ottomans therefore would not be necessary and therefore they had become expendable. Mean while the Brits invaded Egypt.

Who sold Palestine?


Britain invaded Egypt in 1882 on the pretext of not paying the debts taken for the construction of the Suez Canal.

…The Ottoman government took certain measures against this movement, which threatened its territorial integrity. It feared that the law of 1869, which allowed foreigners to buy land in the Ottoman country, except for the Hijaz, on condition of reciprocity, would be abused. In 1871, 80% of Palestine was turned into state land. At that time, several thousand Ottoman Jews were living in Palestine.

Operation Rothschild

In 1881, the Jews who faced the pogrom in Russia wanted to immigrate to Palestine en masse, and they wanted world-famous people of Jewish origin to finance it, like the Rothschild and Hirsch families. This is called aliyah in Zionist literature.

In response, Sultan Abdülhamid II issued an edict banning Jews from resettling in Palestine in April 1882. It allowed them to settle anywhere else in the empire, though no more than 150 families. He then started to buy strategic lands in Palestine through his personal treasury called the Hazine-i Hassa.

From 1882, the Rothschilds began to buy land in Palestine on behalf of others. The Rothschilds, who had international power as they lent money to all governments, wanted the refugee Russian Jews to be allowed to settle in these lands. The embassies intervened. The Ottoman government was confused as to what to do. The first Jewish colony was established in Jaffa that same year, despite not having been granted permission. By 1918, one-twentieth of Palestine’s fertile lands belonged to the Rothschilds….

The Young Turks, who dethroned Sultan Abdülhamid II and seized power [1909], first nationalized the treasury lands belonging to the sultan. To please the Zionists who supported them, they allowed Jewish immigration to Palestine.

Even though they realized the gravity of the incident immediately after and banned the sale of land to foreigners in Palestine, things were already out of control. Between 1908 and 1914, the Jews bought 50,000 acres of land and established 10 colonies. In 1913, the Rothschilds bought the treasury lands.

According to the Ottoman censuses, the number of Jewish people living in Palestine was 9,500 in 1881, 12,500 in 1896, 14,200 in 1906 and 31,000 in 1914. In 1917, the Zionists came to an agreement with the British foreign minister, Arthur Balfour. Britain, which was greedy for Jewish capital, promised the Jews a homeland in Palestine with the Balfour Declaration. When the Syrian front collapsed, Palestine was occupied by British forces….

Do not forget that the Brits were ALSO behind the Young Turks.

Parvus, Jabotinsky, and London’s Young Turks

British agent Vladimir Jabotinsky’s career would cross that of another of the most important operatives of the Bolshevik revolutionary epoch, Alexander Israel Helphand (a.k.a. “Parvus”). Both Jabotinsky and Parvus edited publications of the British/Venetian-spawned Young Turk movement, which helped instigate London’s Balkan Wars and the overthrow of the Ottoman Empire—without which, the entire Anglo-French Sykes-Picot colonial scheme would not have been possible.

Like Jabotinsky, Parvus (1867-1924) came from an Odessa family steeped in the grain trade. By 1886, Helphand/Parvus had already become involved in the Okhrana-spawned Russian socialist scene, travelling to Switzerland to participate in the Emancipation of Labor group.

Once “Bloody Sunday” unleashed the revolutionary destabilizations in St. Petersburg, Parvus appeared on the scene, as a leading collaborator of Leon Trotsky and other leaders of the Petersburg Soviet. Parvus and Trotsky bought a liberal newspaper, Russkaya Gazeta, to rival the Bolshevik publication….

When the entire leadership of the Petersburg Soviet—including Trotsky—was rounded up and jailed in December 1905, Parvus escaped the police clutches, and next turned up, via Germany, in Constantinople, as a “journalist” covering the Young Turk rebellion against the Ottomans, a crucial prelude to the British-manipulated second Balkan War. It would be at this moment that Parvus’s ties to the leading European “Venetian Party” factions—especially to British intelligence—would be publicly shown….

The Young Turks

In 1908, the Committee for Union and Progress, otherwise known as the Young Turks, carried out a military coup, overthrowing the Sultan and seizing power over the Ottoman Empire. Launching ethnic cleansing campaigns against all non-Turkic peoples, including Armenians, Greeks, and Bulgarians, the Young Turk regime played a pivotal role in provoking the 1912-13 Balkan Wars, through its brutality towards the minorities… The actual founder of the Young Turk movement was an Italian Freemason and grain trader named Emmanuel Carasso. Jewish by birth…

Carasso was a leading financier of the entire Young Turk insurrection, and during the Balkan Wars, he was not only the head of Balkan intelligence operations for the Young Turks; he was in charge of all food supplies for the Ottomans during World War I, a lucrative business which he shared with Parvus.

Carasso also financed a number of newspapers and other propaganda outlets for the Young Turks…

The Young Turk operation was headed, from London, by Aubrey Herbert, a grandson of one of Mazzini’s controllers, who himself died while leading revolutionary mobs in Italy in 1848. Aubrey Herbert headed all British Intelligence operations in the Middle East during the period of World War I, and no less a figure than Lawrence of Arabia identified Herbert as the actual head of the Young Turk insurrection.…

Why did Britain promise Palestine to Arabs and Zionists? — Imperial War Museums

The Balfour Declaration was signed in 1917. It set out British support for the creation of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine. 

But when the Balfour Declaration was signed, the British had already promised Palestine to Arabs as an independent state and promised the French government that it would be an internationally administered zone.

Even then, most of the land was still under Ottoman control. So why did Britain make these three conflicting promises? How did it try to resolve them? And how did Britain’s strategy in the Middle East help to cause a century of conflict?

Their 15 minute video leaves a lot out but does a decent summation. When they mention dragging the USA into WWI remember the Federal Reserve in 1913 along with the The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), followed in 1915 with the buying out of the important US newspapers.

I mentioned that I believed that Colonel Towner was revealing facts based on other information I have unearthed over the years. Today I want to go over some of that information.


“Prussia is not a nation with an army, but an army that controls nations”
comte de Mirabeau 1749 – 1791

Sounds a bit like Operation Gladio.

I want to start with the Prussiagate Series. King Frederick the Great of Prussia was alive during the American Revolution. Frederick was the eldest surviving son of Frederick William I, king of Prussia, and Sophia Dorothea of Hanover, daughter of George I of Britain. He was born January 24, 1712 and died August 17, 1786. He was a brilliant military campaigner who, in a series of diplomatic stratagems and wars against Austria and other powers, greatly enlarged Prussia’s territories and made Prussia the foremost military power in Europe.

(Zoll is actually two people BTW) The Will Zoll essays. The table of contents also has pointers to Patrick Gunnels reading the essays. Skip the first 10 minutes of the videos which are intro.

The following substack articles are available to the public.


The Prussian Origins of the U.S. Federal Reichsbank

…Beside [these listed] Presidents, there were many others who opposed the future Federal Reserve. There were also wealthy and powerful bankers and industrialists who opposed it. John Jacob Astor IV, the man who invested in Tesla, opposed the plan, as did Benjamin Guggenheim and Macy’s owner Isidor Straus. They were the wealthiest men of the day, and unfortunately all met their end in the fateful sinking of the Titanic in 1912.  It’s the stuff of conspiracy theories, but find comfort in the fact-checkers who have spent an awful amount of time reassuring us it is simply a coincidence – albeit a huge one…

In 1971, Nixon interrupted the primetime show, Bonanza, to announce the end of the US Dollar’s gold exchange system. Ever since, the world has been flooded with dollars, wars, welfare, bubbles and busts. The only thing that is stable is the never-ending printing of fiat-money and the debt based monetary system it supports. We are now a world “drowning” in debt, that one day must be paid back by us, our children and grandchildren. With the central banks still at the helm of monetary control, this trend will not end until our children wake up homeless on the land our fathers conquered. Which, of course, was the plan all along…

Before the Federal Reserve, there was the Bank of England, the Bank of Amsterdam and the German Reichsbank. We can explore the establishment of the BoE (during what we call the 1666 – 1702 window) and the Bank of Amsterdam another time (Prussia never ends), but the evolution of the German Reichsbank begins with King Frederick the Great in 1765….

Jefferson also knew that central banks were an even greater danger. Whether he knew this was to be of Prussian origin, we will never know. All the big players laying the foundations of the Federal Reserve had connections to Prussia: Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Warburg, Kahn, Schiff (Rothschild), [Y]ale, Skull & Bones, Johns Hopkins, the Carnegie Foundation, Marburg, Reynolds, the Reichsbank, President Taft and many more…

The Soldier King may have formed the largest military standing army in Europe, but his son Frederick the Great formed them into the most dangerous army in the world. Through a slow process of infiltration, his army of weaponized philosophers, educators, bankers, and PhDs were able to slowly usurp control of the freedoms and liberties granted to Americans in 1776.

This process which was largely complete by 1913. The same year of the founding of the Alfalfa Club, who claims that their “secrets” were obtained from Germany, and that the Kaiser depended on these for his successes…


The ReichsWEF Part IV The ReichsWEF Treasury Department

…Similar to the colonization of [Y]ale by Skull and Bones, the infiltration of the world education system, the creation of Karl Marx, the financing of the Bolshevik revolution, or the weaponizing of philosophy, the Invisible Enemy pushed hard to implement their version of central banking upon America.

Spoiler alert. It was Prussia.

…The head of the Royal Main Bank, which was effectively the central bank of Prussia, had no time for the Jewish banking circles, yet there was nothing he could do about it and they continued to thrive. Prussia was a micromanaged administrative state.

It would never allow a competing activity to occur without the expressed consent of the king. The Rothschilds, Kuhns, Loebs, Warburgs were all originating from or near Prussia. How could these prosperous banking families have escaped the watchful eye of the formidable Prussian secret police without first paying homage and loyalty to the kingdom that allowed their businesses to operate? The answer is that they didn’t. It was all coordinated.

….The Royal Main Bank was about the monopoly of currency. The merchant banks (like the Jewish bankers) would complement this by facilitating trade and currency exchange for Prussia’s new bank note. This would ensure the economic power of Prussia would be expanded and solidified.

Who do you think Mayer Amschel Rothschild learnt his famous quote from?

Marburg the Town: The Apocalypse of the Four Horsemen

The origins of Marburg date back to 1140 A.D. It was subject to many wars, the most famous being the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648), where Marburg and surrounding territory lost more than 66% of its population. It suffered a loss of life that surpassed WWI and WWII…..

The war was so bad, it reshuffled the European Order. It was the Great Reset of its day, and Prussia would to rise to prominence from it. There is that familiar pattern, again…..

Marburg became a backwater-town thereafter, under the Electorate of Hessen. Eventually Prussia was able to annex Marburg around 1866. Until then, Marburg was known only for its university, but it was also chosen as the administrative center of the Prussian empire. It became known for its academics, students and public servants. Its library housed many documents that were important to Prussia, as we shall unpack later….

Apart from discovering a deadly disease after fiddling with the African green monkey, [HMMMmmm Green Monkey DNA Found in COVID-19 Shots –GC] the university is also popular for another academic reason: Its proud academic-Marxist stronghold.

Most are aware of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and its devastating effects in the schools across the USA. CRT was born from an ideology espoused by the Frankfurt School, known as “critical theory”. The Frankfurt School fled Germany in 1933 when the Nazis came to power, finding a home at Columbia University.

The Frankfurt School birthed devout cultural Marxists such as Saul Alinsky, who in turn inspired disciples, such as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

However, as the Frankfurt School fled Germany, a sister-school remained and would blossom over time. That would be later known as the Marburg School…..

So far, Marburg is known for a virus, an Apocalyptic war, becoming the Prussian administration centre, and a Marxist university.

Let’s see what else we can unpack about the wonderful Prussian town of Marburg.

Nazi war Criminals became high ranking commanders in NATO after WW2


If you take things a step further this information supports Will Zoll’s Prussiagate. & ReichsWEF and the idea that PRUSSIA is now an idea AND AN ARMY without a country. In my opinion Colonel Towner documents that army. The Werewolf Units, were organized and trained by SS Officer Otto Skorzeny. Hitler’s Chief of staff, Adolf Heusinger, became NATO’s Chief Of The Military Staff in 1961. Skorzeny allegedly came to the U.S. after the war under Project Paperclip.


Operation Gladio – Hard Evidence of Government Sponsored False Flag Terrorism

Operation Gladio was formally revealed in 1990 by the Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti in an official statement to the Italian parliament. By then, Gladio had already been exposed in the courts and elsewhere, but Andreotti’s ‘official’ revelations widely exposed the unpalatable reality. Italian investigations, into the ‘Years of Lead‘, revealed NATO’s hand in a series of terrorist atrocities that had taken place in Italy throughout the 1950s to the 1980s. These included bombings, assassinations, kidnappings and mass shootings by terrorist organisations. There is no doubt that elements within the NATO deep state were routinely using false flag terrorism to control and manipulate public opinion and shape policy.

This is not the speculation of ‘looney conspiracy theorists,’ it is proven, well documented historical fact…

Another snippet from one of the Will Zoll Articles.

ReichsWEF Part VI: Freedom vs Tyranny

The incredible history behind the formation of the World Economic Forum is founded on the vision set out by Frederick the Great centuries ago, where every aspect of a humanity would be controlled through 17,000 rules and regulations. Adolph Hitler and the Nazis disastrously tried to restore Germany back to its illustrious Prussian past. The current attempt to establish this regime globally was why the first 10 years of the ReichsWEF hosted a myriad of ex-Nazis and national leaders tied to brutal regimes, communist-ideology, and much worse.

To circumvent democratic principles, national sovereignty, and the Constitution, the ReichsWEF implemented the Young Global Leaders program to effectively penetrate government cabinets and steer nations toward the vision of Klaus Schwab and, more importantly, the matrix of globalist corporations that now serve the horrible invisible enemy that is Prussia.

Klaus, it would appear, has taken a leaf out of Joseph Goebbels playbook:

The ReichsWEF is not a friend; it is the enemy of humanity.

We conclude with a message to every member of the Young Global Leaders Community and every member of the World Economic Forum:

You are all citizens of sovereign nations built on the premise of freedom, democracy and the rule of law. In this invisible war, the WEF has appointed you to be enemies of your own nations. As Tyranny begins to destroy itself by unleashing wave-upon-wave of crises, Freedom will most-certainly prevail. As members of Klaus’ army, it is important to understand you are involved in one of the highest crimes known to man: TREASON…

As I have mentioned before, the motive is MERCANTILISM.


“So, in 1765 he [Fredrick the Great] founded the Royal Main Bank, and monopolized the issuance of currency (coin) that could be used for trade.” — LINK


Mercantilism Britannica

[An] economic theory and practice common in Europe from the 16th to the 18th century that promoted governmental regulation of a nation’s economy for the purpose of augmenting state power at the expense of rival national powers. It was the economic counterpart of political absolutism. Its 17th-century publicists—most notably Thomas Mun in England, Jean-Baptiste Colbert in France, and Antonio Serra in Italy—never, however, used the term themselves; it was given currency by the Scottish economist Adam Smith in his Wealth of Nations (1776).

Mercantilism contained many interlocking principles. Precious metals, such as gold and silver, were deemed indispensable to a nation’s wealth. If a nation did not possess mines or have access to them, precious metals should be obtained by trade. It was believed that trade balances must be “favourable,” meaning an excess of exports over imports. Colonial possessions should serve as markets for exports and as suppliers of raw materials to the mother country. Manufacturing was forbidden in colonies, and all commerce between colony and mother country was held to be a monopoly of the mother country….

I have posted The Network of Global Corporate Control many times.

Here is the listing of the Top Officers based on that study. The Financial Core of the Transnational Capitalist Class (September 2013)

This is an example of a British transnational I have never heard of before.


SERCO: A Corporate Octopus With Tentacles Wrapped Around The Globe


“The Biggest Corporation You’ve Never Heard Of” — The Guardian

How does one corporation — a mammoth British transnational corporation at that — provide so many critical services throughout the USA’s Military-Industrial Complex and yet very few have ever heard of them?

In view of its sheer size, scope of operations, and far-reaching penetration of both the American and British national security states, it’s inconceivable that SERCO has remained so conveniently under the radar for so many years.

Just how much “Bringing service to life” does SERCO do here in the United States?  The following is a truncated list of their affiliations in and around the U.S. Federal Government and Armed Services.  Their website is quoted as follows: “Skilled resources and a global presence to execute any CONUS or OCONUS*task”.

*OCONUS = Outside [the] contiguous United States

It is only by correctly understanding the true role that the SERCOs of the world have in the running of the planet that anyone can even begin to apprehend the enormity and complexity, pervasiveness and profundity of the Government-Corporate Complex.  Truly, the warnings of George Orwell’s 1984 have found their full manifestation in the real 800 pound gorilla that currently rules the realm — the entire planetary civilization.  As follows:  The Government-Corporate Complex Takes Complete Control Of The USA

The SERCO website goes on to say:

“Serco is dedicated to providing military support in ways that matter most to our clients’ missions. The vast majority of our employees are embedded in military bases, working side-by-side with servicemen and women to deliver military support—real mission-critical and mission-support solutions.”

[An incredibly long] list of agencies and departments within the U.S. Federal Government and U.S. Armed Services is by no means exhaustive where it concerns SERCO’s direct and indirect involvement.  There are, in fact, many other secret organizations and classified projects that are not shown below in which SERCO not only participates, but is also quite prominently configured in case claims of plausible deniability may be necessary to shield the US Govt and its employees.

…So the 64 thousand dollar question is how, and most importantly why, a British Corporation controls so many critical functions within the United States of America, as well as within many other key industrialized nations around the world?

[The long list includes Social Security Administration. — GC]

There is only one answer: Because SERCO is a foreign multinational corporation, it can do things at its headquarters in Hook, Hampshire, England, United Kingdom, that a U.S. company could simply not get away with….

Obamacare: A SERCO Contract that Controls the US Healthcare System

Obviously it was no accident of good fortune that SERCO was chosen to process Obamacare applications.[1]  What, pray tell, is more important to control than the healthcare delivery system of any nation.  When you control the healthcare services, you control the health of the citizens.  When you control their health, you effectively control them.  If you don’t believe this, then please read the flowing exposé….

Certainly makes you wonder exactly what that company is actually up to!

Just think the USA has a British company doing Intel work & ‘services’ for our military and Chinese companies providing our military gear/weapons/transportation. No wonder POTUS Trump is emphasizing Made in America!

I really love this paragraph because Jeff Childers ‘gets it’

To say that London is the world’s globalization headquarters is like saying the Mouse lives at Disney World. London has been the velvet-gloved epicenter of globalism ever since the East India Company shipped spices and opium on the same manifest. London’s financial class didn’t just benefit from globalization— they practically wrote the instruction manual. For them to start hand-wringing now about “mass immigration” and “no benefits from free trade” is a sign the ground is shaking beneath the WEF cathedral.

HISTORY RHYMES

When looking at new information and ideas, it is always useful to see how it fits into past knowledge and history. In this case it is useful to look at the ending of the British East India Co. and the British actions in South Africa during the Second Boer War (1899 -1902.) That was a war over resources, such as diamonds and gold.

I want to reiterate what my South African friend told me on Sunday, March 16. First if I understood her correctly the South African area was NOT occupied by Blacks when the Dutch originally settled there. The Dutch (Boers) colonized it. Second she told me that DURING THE Second Boer War, the British took women and children prisoners AND FED THEM FOOD LACED WITH GLASS SO THEY DIED LINGERING, HORRIBLE, PAINFUL DEATHS!! Colonel Towner also mentioned that the Brits took women and children prisoner tortured and slaughtered them.


How British colonialism killed 100 million Indians in 40 years — Aljazeera

…According to the historian Madhusree Mukerjee, the colonial regime practically eliminated Indian tariffs, allowing British goods to flood the domestic market, but created a system of exorbitant taxes and internal duties that prevented Indians from selling cloth within their own country, let alone exporting it. This unequal trade regime crushed Indian manufacturers and effectively de-industrialized the country. [Sound familiar? — GC]

As the chairman of East India and China Association boasted to the English parliament in 1840: “This company has succeeded in converting India from a manufacturing country into a country exporting raw produce.” English manufacturers gained a tremendous advantage, while India was reduced to poverty and its people were made vulnerable to hunger and disease.

To make matters worse, British colonisers established a system of legal plunder, known to contemporaries as the “drain of wealth.” Britain taxed the Indian population and then used the revenues to buy Indian products – indigo, grain, cotton, and opium – thus obtaining these goods for free. These goods were then either consumed within Britain or re-exported abroad, with the revenues pocketed by the British state and used to finance the industrial development of Britain and its settler colonies – the United States, Canada and Australia. [Except those colonies were ALSO suffering under British mercantilism. -GC]

This system drained India of goods worth trillions of dollars in today’s money. The British were merciless in imposing the drain, forcing India to export food even when drought or floods threatened local food security. Historians have established that tens of millions of Indians died of starvation during several considerable policy-induced famines in the late 19th century, as their resources were syphoned off to Britain…

The template described above is similar to the template in use today. I wrote the following two decades ago:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The 1944 Breton Woods Agreement (written by a Soviet spy and the Fabian, John Keynes) established the IMF and the World Bank because “The stock of gold grew slowly but the stocks of dollars and pounds could grow without limit. Member countries accepted the obligation to treat the two alike. In practice this meant they had to accept inflation or appreciate their exchange rate.” The IMF/World Bank used Structural Adjustment Policies, SAPs, to open up countries to exploitation by corporations. Instead of a British Empire overtly colonizing the world, heavily criticized by a voting public, we now have Corporate and Banking interests united in the covert control of whole nations in the name of profit.

Structural Adjustment Policies are economic policies which countries must follow in order to qualify for new World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) loans and help them make debt repayments on the older debts owed to commercial banks, governments and the World Bank. Although SAPs are designed for individual countries they have common guiding principles and features which include export-led growth; privatisation and liberalisation; and the efficiency of the free market.

SAPs often result in deep cuts in programmes like education, health and social care…

By devaluing the currency and simultaneously removing price controls, the immediate effect of a SAP is… that riots are a frequent result. https://web.archive.org/web/20130401081904/http://www.whirledbank.org/development/sap.html

A former respected member of international banking, John Perkins, said this in “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” and in interviews.


JOHN PERKINS:
Basically what we were trained to do and what our job is to do is to build up the American empire. To bring – to create situations where as many resources as possible flow into this country, to our corporations, and our government, and in fact we’ve been very successful. We’ve built the largest empire in the history of the world. It’s been done over the last 50 years since World War II with very little military might, actually. It’s only in rare instances like Iraq where the military comes in as a last resort. This empire, unlike any other in the history of the world, has been built primarily through economic manipulation, through cheating, through fraud…

John Perkins states he was initially recruited by the National Security Agency, a US Government agency. I contend these were not from our legitimate government elected by the US citizens but traitors representing banking interests. Perkins writes, “The book was to be dedicated to the presidents of two countries, men who had been his clients whom I respected and thought of as kindred spirits – Jaime Rolds, president of Ecuador, and Omar Torrijos, president of Panama. Both had just died in fiery crashes. Their deaths were not accidental. They were assassinated because they opposed that fraternity of corporate, government, and banking heads whose goal is global empire. We Economic Hit Men failed to bring Rolds and Torrijos around, and the other type of hit men, the CIA-sanctioned jackals who were always right behind us, stepped in.” Perkins “ fraternity of corporate, government, and banking heads whose goal is global empire” is certainly not representing the American people, but a cartel intent on a worldwide empire.

White House Efforts to Blunt 1975 Church Committee Investigation into CIA Abuses Foreshadowed Executive-Congressional Battles after 9/11

…White House and Intelligence Community stated concerns during the period of the Church and Pike inquiries were preserving the effectiveness of the CIA and reassuring future operatives who might fear their “heads may be on the block” for their actions, no matter how well-intentioned. But intelligence officials also worried that disclosures of agency operations would be “disastrous” for CIA’s standing in the world: “We are a great power and it is important that we be perceived as such,” a memo to the president warned, urging that “our intelligence capability to a certain extent be cloaked in mystery and held in awe.”

In 1975, it was then-Deputy Chief of Staff Dick Cheney who spearheaded the Ford White House’s hostile approach to Congress, which required the CIA to submit all proposed responses to Capitol Hill for prior presidential approval and featured the explicit intent to keep investigators away from the most sensitive records. Those events presaged the battles between the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) and the U.S. Intelligence Community since 2012 over plans to publish the former’s 6,000-page report on the CIA’s rendition, detention and interrogation program…


This continuing fight against America by the rogue Intelligence Community is a feature of today’s political landscape.

….

The big take away from this next article is that public perception was a major factor in the downfall of the British East India Co. I think this is KEY. The ‘International Syndicate’ aka Cabal wants to fly under the radar of both the public and of politicians to prevent a repeat. Complete control of the media in the USA, starting in 1915; Off the books operations of the CIA especially after the Church Commission tried to aired the CIA’s dirty linen (see above); and assassination of anyone who wanders too far off the International Syndicate’s Plantation; has kept knowledge of the International Syndicate off everyone’s radar until Operation Gladio was finally revealed by the Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti in an official statement to the Italian parliament.

Fall of the East India Company — World History Encyclopedia 

Increasing Criticism

The EIC had many enemies, not only rival European trading companies and rulers in India but also back in Britain. It was criticised for its monopolies, harsh trading terms, and corruption. The company’s trade was so large it was responsible for a serious drain of Britain’s stock of silver. Its directors returned to England with vast new wealth that upset the established hierarchy of British society. This nouveau riche was disparagingly called ‘nabobs’…

The 1773 Regulating Act resulted in changes…. The greater interest the British government began to take in India was likely a direct result of the loss of its colonies in North America in 1783…

…Once again, prominent members of the British Parliament were aghast at lurid tales of the EIC’s policies in India, and many sought to bring the company under much greater scrutiny and control. Reform was not straightforward, though, when dealing with such a commercial giant. Many MPs remained in EIC employ or were shareholders (23% in the 1770s). Further, the British monarchy was not in favour of infringing on private property. Still, the burning question of the day was why was this private company with private interests being allowed to conduct itself like a state but without any of the constraints of an electorate or any of the scruples of justice.

The atmosphere of the time was relevant here. Political philosophers were now influencing politicians in Britain with their thoughts on the importance of individual liberty, government by consent, and rule through justice….

.

.

After the mutiny was quashed, the sentiment in Britain was that such an important colony as India could no longer be left in the hands of a private company. The general mood was captured by the Illustrated London News in the following article extract of July 1857:

The state of affairs in India may well exercise the alarm of the nation…Our house in India is on fire. We are not insured. To lose that house would be to lose power, prestige, and character – to descend in the rank of nations…Whether it were desirable that we should win India by the sword is no longer a question. Having won it we must keep it. (Barrow, 167-8)

The British Crown took full possession of EIC territories in India with the Government of India Act of 2 August 1858. The EIC armies were absorbed into the British Army, and the EIC navy was disbanded. The most aggressive and utterly ruthless private company ever yet created was effectively nationalised…

Read that last sentence again. “The most aggressive and utterly ruthless private company ever yet created was effectively nationalised…” So the British East India Company didn’t actually die it just morphed into part of the British government. Then after WWII British/City of London mercantilism was outsourced to NATO and the Brit’s favorite slave colony, the USA.

Aubergine on April 1, 2025 brought an article to the Qtree that starts with this:

Jim Quinn: Prophets, Nomads, & A Fourth Turning Accelerating Towards A Bloody Climax

“In retrospect, the spark might seem as ominous as a financial crash, as ordinary as a national election, or as trivial as a Tea Party. The catalyst will unfold according to a basic Crisis dynamic that underlies all of these scenarios: An initial spark will trigger a chain reaction of unyielding responses and further emergencies. The core elements of these scenarios (debt, civic decay, global disorder) will matter more than the details, which the catalyst will juxtapose and connect in some unknowable way. If foreign societies are also entering a Fourth Turning, this could accelerate the chain reaction. 👉At home and abroad, these events will reflect the tearing of the civic fabric at points of extreme vulnerability – problem areas where America will have neglected, denied, or delayed needed action.” –The Fourth Turning – Strauss & Howe

Wolf responded:

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Reading the whole article helps.

👉I think the author is correct that the risk of much death and destruction is high,👈 but IMO it is because the CABAL is responsible for perpetuation of the 80 year turnings, on which they feed and thrive.

This turning is about disempowering the Cabal. It may be different in some new ways.


Another aspect of this risk is what the Colonel and Alpha address in the transcript I present today.

Cutting off the funding to the CIA/NATO Werewolf Units aka Stay-behind Units, is a major start but REMOVING/WIPING OUT those units is paramount. With Elon now in the CIA, he may be able to turn up the data on the Werewolf Units under the CIAs control.

Thomas Wictor (Carlos Osweda) mentioned during the George Floyd riots, that he thought tiny drones were being used to track the ANTIFA ring leaders. I certainly hope he is correct. Getting rid of the imported terrorist illegals is also going to help. Unfortunately the Cabal has had four years to import Werewolf Units, train them, equip them and hide them.

“DC Cop Getting a Pass for Drugs, Guns Should Raise Major Questions”
Bearing Arms, Tom Knighton | 4:30 PM | April 06, 2025

ENTIRE ARTICLE: “I’m not anti-cop by any stretch of the imagination. I happen to know for a fact that there are good cops out there. I was raised by one, may he rest in peace. I’ve known plenty in my life. I’ve known a bunch that were on the opposite end of the spectrum, too, though most are somewhere in between the angels and the devils, like most people.
But what bothers me is how police often get preferential treatment on things. Cops often look the other way when one of their fellow officers are driving too fast or roll through a stop sign. Of course, this kind of thing bothers me far more.

A D.C. police officer once celebrated as a community leader was pulled over and detained in Prince George’s County with guns and drugs inside his car — but is only being cited for traffic violations.

Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela A. Smith confirmed Thursday the detention of Officer Maleek Isaiah Loggins, 22, which had taken place the day before in District Heights, Maryland.

She said his police powers have been suspended as the D.C. department conducts its own investigation into the incident.

MPD said Officer Loggins worked as a patrol officer. He became a sworn officer in March 2024.

A Prince George’s County police report obtained by The Washington Times said Officer Loggins was pulled over at about 3:20 p.m. after authorities witnessed him “committing traffic violations” near the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Silver Hill Road.

The report said Officer Loggins was ordered out of the car, and a search of his vehicle turned up a Glock pistol with a 10-round magazine, and a Draco handgun — which mimics the look of an AK-47 — with a 24-round magazine.

Authorities said Officer Loggins also had 27.5 grams of marijuana in his car, which falls short of the 1.5 ounce criminal threshold for marijuana possession in the state, as well as a digital scale.

The report said the MPD officer was detained, handcuffed, and processed for multiple traffic-related offenses, and then released pending further investigation.

Now, let’s break this down. First, I get that the drugs were below the threshold, but in case you don’t have the conversion of grams to ounces handy, it was only short by less than a gram. Maybe it’s just me, but that could be a scale calibration issue. Either way, the law is the law.
But because the law is the law, we have to remember that possession of a firearm by someone who uses drugs–even marijuana, mind you, regardless of state laws on the subject–is a felony. 
“Tom, that’s a federal charge. Local cops can’t file those charges unless there’s a corresponding state law.” That is true, and I haven’t bothered to look to see if Maryland has one, which is where Prince George’s County is, has one. But they do have a magazine capacity limit of just 10 rounds. The Draco had a 24-round magazine. They had grounds to charge him.
Except for the fact that he’s a cop and they get special treatment. The laws don’t apply to someone like him as they would to you or me in Prince George’s County. So, they just wrote him a traffic ticket and sent him on his way.
These are the gun control laws that we’re all supposed to follow. These are the laws we’re assured are absolutely essential to keeping us all safe. But they don’t apply to law enforcement officers because they’re better than us. They get different rules because they’re special.
Well, I’m not walking around with marijuana in my vehicle, much less an amount that’s a skooch under the legal limit and trusting my badge to keep me out of trouble. What happened here should raise a lot of questions, including why laws that are supposedly so essential aren’t applied to everyone equally. Unfortunately, no one in Maryland or DC will be interested in asking those.”

Colonel Towner (above) sheds a lot of light on why police officers may be given a free pass in the following video. In this Operation Gladio video the Colonel turned up another danger point I never anticipated. Alpha Warrior, is not only a retired Marine he is also a fired LEO. He was fired for being honest BTW and then attacked by the Biden Admin AG/FBI using Lawfare as a ‘potential Domestic Terrorist.’ Keep this in mind as he makes comments on what Colonel Towner is saying.


The Colonel refers to this article, WIKI — Office of Public Safety, as she is talking about the Office of Public Safety. As usual it is a Limited Hangout telling SOME of the story but hiding the fact the actions never stopped. The story told is horrendous enough! Please note the section on the LAPD and also note the LAPD is now allowing NON-CITIZENS on their police force. 😱

OPERATION GLADIO – CHAPTER 47 – “USAID-Office of Public Safety” PART 5 – EP.394

ROUGH TRANSCRIPT

7:00 Colonel: I have even shocked myself and I have gotten pretty immune to this stuff. This is crazy. Again I could not be partnered with a better person, because the Office of Public Safety is about policing. It is an oxymoron because it has absolutely nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with torturing and killing. So you would think what has that got to do with policing? Well you are about to find out!

7:50 — 11:10 Banter about trick Colonel played on Alpha at GART in Los Vegas.

11:10 Colonel: Pull up Wiki article on Office of Public Safety. I want people to understand the limits. We are going to do a tutorial just using Wiki to tell you something. Because when we are done tonight we are going to come back to this. I want you to compare what they are telling you is the Office of Public Safety to what I am going to explain to you is the Office of Public Safety.

READS:

The Office of Public Safety (OPS) was a U.S. government program within the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) that provided training, assistance and equipment to the security forces of U.S. allies. The program commenced in November 1962 and was terminated by Congress in 1974.

12:10 Colonel: You would think anything that happened before 1962 would have nothing to do with the Office of Public Safety and that we did not do any of these kinds of things. And that after 1974 they terminated it. They actually said you could not do it any more because of how bad it is. So that does not mean we did not do it. It [the wiki article] implies that it went away.

READS:

…Police assistance projects overseas had been established by the Eisenhower administration…

12:40 Colonel: Hey but wait a minute, Eisenhower was not in charge in 1962. How did that happen? Under the guise of ‘Police Reform’  Byron Engle, served from 1962 to 1973. Basically this guy was in charge of it.

Well, who is Byron Engle?

Byron Engle was hired by basically a Democrat Mafia Boss in Kansas City to be a police officer in Kansas City. And he goes on to become the head of this Office of Public Safety AND WAS IN FACT A CIA OFFICER.

To Alpha. If you can pull up that document I sent, this is what verifies the fact that Byron Engle was not just a cop. He was a CIA asset.

Alpha then reads the memorandum

…..

DOCUMENT SHOWN @ 13:56.

In readable form from The “Family Jewels” Report @ https://www.newsfollowup.com/docs/obama/family_jewels_ps607-613_ocr.pdf

The CIA Reading room refuses to cough up a copy and instead shows a different document.🤔

…..

14:50 Alpha ends with the sentence: “This phase of the training is concluded by a two day orientation by the Bomb Squad of the DADE County Police Department in Florida.”

15:00 Colonel: What Dade county, you mean where the largest CIA domestic training facility is? Where they were training people to do bombs that were [QUOTE] Cuban Exiles [UNQUOTE to provide the False flag excuse] for attacking Cuba? Yeah that exact same place.

15:25 Alpha: That was the same one where 🎶Bad Boys, Bad Boys🎶, with Will Smith and Martin Laurence operate out of. LINK And it is all about corruption in law-enforcement administration.

[Goes to page two and reads]

“….. Introducing the trainees to booby trapping devices and techniques giving practical experience with both manufactured and improvised devices through actual fabrication. ….”

16:40 Colonel: So now you get the idea of the type of training we are talking about. Actually blowing shit up. The Office of Public Safety is teaching people at a police academy in Washington DC with a field trip to Miami on how to blow shit up and set booby traps.

Does that sound like safety to you?

17:05 Alpha: That does not even sound like police work to me!


17:10 Colonel: Correct. It gets better. Let me read to you a letter that was written from
Lyman Kirkpatrick who was the executive Directer, the #3 guy at the CIA to Byron Engles. Dated 21 June 1963, at the beginning,

Dear Byron,

I have received some rather disturbing information on the status of a police academy in Panama. Which may or may not be accurate please look into it. First I am told that General Mammira had agreed to make other … buildings [available]…. On the basis of the knowledge it would be in the government’s best interest to keep the academy on the fort. Second I understand that the accommodations… talks of air conditioning… on the first floor where they put non-americans is not air-conditioned. Third, I understand that in billeting and messing arrangements, the Latin attendees are saying there is no distinction made for rank. That you are messing and billeting colonels with non-coms. That’s not OK. Four, and finally I am told that the administrative support staff of the academy could be improved by an aggressive support or supply officer who could beg, borrow or scrounge what ever was required.


And then it is signed by the CIA director, basically implying that the guy is working for him, when supposedly USAID is an independent organization. Unless it is a CIA front which I have been saying all along.

19:25 Alpha: There is no way you are training together unless you are going to be doing future collaborations. [Remember this statement when I go into Fusion Centers. -GC]

19:30 Colonel: Now that we have established who this guy is, let’s go back to Wiki. It goes on to say: [The Colonels comments are in [brackets] – GC]

Police assistance projects overseas had been established by the Eisenhower administration, but military intervention and covert action by the CIA was the primary method of addressing communist groups and other subversives in poor and recently decolonised countries. [You know like the entire continent of Africa] In the 1950s and 60s, covert action was increasingly unsuccessful, [I do not know what they mean by unsuccessful because they had over thrown by that time, by the 1960s, at least 20 different countries.] the most infamous example being the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion. [4] [Yes, they screwed that up, but all the rest of them were sucessful.] Already a proponent of modernization theory and international development programs as an alternative method of combating the spread of Communism, Kennedy was receptive to the efforts of national security advisor Robert W. Komer [that guy himself could take an entire show. He was complerely corrupt. He was the guy who basically setup the phoenix program. Again a policing program out of Michigan State which we are going to get to. ALPHA: When you look at his Wiki page, his nickname is Blowtorch Bob Colonel: Komer is the one who told Kennedy that it would be a great idea to set-up this office of Public Safety. So you go on down ] …..International development programs could present the modernisation and expansion of security infrastructure as growing stability [When in fact it increased destabilization which was its entire goal so the ‘International Syndicate’s’ Oligarchs could come in and steal these peoples resources. That is what it was really for and to put down any dissidents while they were being raped and stuff being pillaged out of their country.] …. In a document drafted to launch the concept of the OPS, the USAID expressed concern over the optics of white American soldiers killing non-white dissidents: “In countering insurgency, the major effort must be indigenous. . . . In internal war it is always better for one national to kill another than for a foreigner—especially one with a different skin coloration to do so”

Colonel: So the whole purpose of the Office of Public Safety was to go in and train, under the guise of a national guard or a national police force, killers to put down their own citizens.

22:30 Alpha: An important statement that you read Colonel and I will quote it — “In countering insurgency, the major effort must be indigenous.” — If that is how they feel about other countries, that is exactly how they would deploy in our own country.

22:50 Colonel reads: –“The OPS operated in at least fifty-two countries in Asia, Africa and the Americas.” — It was actually about 90. As a matter of fact, there is a weird overlap of the 90 we have over thrown and the 90 that the OPS was present in.

She reads: — “In total, it provided over $200M of USAID and CIA funds to recipient countries in weaponry, communications equipment and tactical equipment.” — Wait a minute “weaponry, communications equipment and tactical equipment’ sounds an awful lot like stay-behind Units, right?

She reads: — “Its other functions were to facilitate the planting of CIA operatives within police forces of at-risk regions” –so it is an apparatus that allows the infiltration of CIA into police forces. GOSH! If they do it there, don’t you think they do it HERE?

23:50 Alpha: You knew that part was going to give me goosebumps… HOLY SMOKES!

24:15 Colonel reads: — “A total of 1500 advisers were deployed overseas, reaching over a million police officers.[11] Alongside training, the OPS provided US-made equipment to overseas police forces, creating an aftermarket for upgrades and parts.” — And again this creates an industry. It creates a demand for our Military-industrial complex to provide the equipment because if we are over their training on it they are going to buy our shit. So this is basically salesmen going into a country and selling arms for the defense industry.

24:45 Colonel: a little bit about that international police academy you just read about. This is the one set-up in DC.

WIKI article says:

International Police Academy

The OPS-operated International Police Academy (IPA) was instituted in 1963, and provided training to 7500 senior officers from seventy-seven countries in total.[1][15] Its first class included sixty-eight police officers from seventeen different nations.[16] The officers were trained at the Georgetown Car Barn in Washington, D.C.[17] Until the early 1970s, selected candidates could also receive training from CIA officers at the U.S. Border Patrol academy in Los Fresnos, Texas, including the making of bombs and incendiary devices.

24:45: Colonel: “.. the U.S. Border Patrol academy in Los Fresnos, Texas…” That is another one of the bomb and incendiary devices that we found during Operation Gladio [in Italy] They were bringing people as early as the immediate aftermath of WWII to this location in Texas. Some of the OAS agents, some of the Otto Skorzeny trained Gladio Assassins, and teaching them how to build bombs. That is what they were doing in this place in Texas. This are the same things, we are talking about Gladio here. Once you read thru this the parallels to Gladio are glaring….

26:20 Colonel: Read the next part, the role of LAPD, Alpha.

Role of the LAPD

The OPS conducted a form of international knowledge exchange by recruiting ordinary US police officers for ‘short-term tours of duty’ on overseas police assistance projects. The LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) was a major source of such officers, partly because a significant proportion of them spoke Spanish.[21]

LAPD officers were sent to Venezuela in 1962 to train local police officers and assist them in repression against the Armed Forces of National Liberation (AFNL).[10] Officers were also sent to the Dominican Republic in the same year; there was significant popular unrest following the CIA-backed assassination of dictator Rafael Trujillo, and Dominican police were struggling to keep order and train officers.[22]

27:15 Colonel: LAPD was not the only one, but it was one that was used. So basically they are sending US police officers TDY, to this locations. Wait until you hear what they do. So our police officers were being exposed to the CIA and probably often times recruited into being informants for the CIA while still being police officers. Because we know that hide the drug trafficking and stuff like that and if they catch one of the CIA guys in the drug network, it is just a matter of calling up one of your buddies that went on a deployment with you from the LAPD and saying Dude, he is one of ours leave him alone. That is why they never get prosecuted.

[Now do you know why I wanted to highlight Patfredrick’s comment on DC Cop Getting a Pass for Drugs, Guns Should Raise Major Questions” Bearing Arms, Tom Knighton | 4:30 PM | April 06, 2025? Now does that cop getting a pass make more sense? -GC]

28:05 Alpha: And just so everybody knows, that this really happens, I have been on the receiving end of those phone calls before. Where I was told Hey, and this is from some of the people you have worked with in the federal task force. And they say Hey, you have got one of ours, he is on our paperwork man. So do not hit him with new charges. Do what you are doing but don’t do this. And you are taking it like this. I have known this guy for years, we have been on teams together, I have got one of their informants. I do not want to compromise their informant. I do not want to compromise their investigation, so of course you go along with it.

And then you have to look back and wonder, did I stop one of their Gladio assets. And more scary than that colonel, LAPD is one of the police department here in California that is giving badges to people who are NOT US CITIZENS.

29:05 – 29:30 Colonel: After they train people in foreign countries to do all kinds of horrendous things.…

I am stopping only one third of the way through because I want to bring even more information to the table. 9-11 was used as an excuse for the federal government to get their sticky fingers into our local police forces.

December 1, 2010 Intelligence-Led Policing in a Fusion Center fbi.gov

SourceWatch: Fusion Centers

Fusion Centers

“Fusion Centers” are terrorism response and prevention centers designed to promote information sharing about potential threats between federal, state and local law enforcement officers. [1] They were started as a joint project between the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs between 2003 and 2007. According to the DOJ, “a fusion center is an effective and efficient mechanism to exchange information and intelligence, maximize resources, streamline operations, and improve the ability to fight crime and terrorism by merging data from a variety of sources.”[2]

Although the centers may have started in an attempt to gather criminal intelligence data, the fusion centers have continually focused on public and private sector data, raising many concerns about the privacy rights of Americans. [3]

As of July 2009, there were 72 designated fusion centers with 36 field representatives deployed. Department of Homeland Security has given more than $254 million to support fusion centers from FY 2004-2007. [4] The stimulus package gave $250 million to upgrade, modify and construct state and local fusion centers. [5] With the exception of Idaho and Pennsylvania, every state has at least one fusion center (if not more, as is the case with Texas). [6] State and local police departments provide both space and resources for the majority of fusion centers, and centers may be staffed by DHS employees, local police, or the private sector. [7]

Criticism of Fusion Centers: Overreaching and Lack of Oversight

Critics of fusion centers worry about the secrecy and lack of regulation or authority over individual centers, as well as the privacy intrusions that can arise from this lack of oversight.

The federal role in supporting fusion centers consists of providing financial assistance, primarily through the Homeland Security Grant Program, as well as security clearances, providing congressional authorization and appropriation of national foreign intelligence program resources, and some training.[8] States have been using local, state, and federal funds since 2004 to create fusion centers, but no standards or guidelines have been in existence to assist with interoperability and communication issues between centers at the regional, state, and federal levels. [9]. Most significantly, there has been a marked lack of regulation and federal oversight over individual fusion centers.

Both the Government Accountability Office and the Congressional Research Service have told Congress the need for more oversight in fusion centers. [10] A Congressional Research Service Report highlights the lack of focus of fusion centers on actual terrorism. “The centers “have increasingly gravitated toward an all-crimes and even broader all-hazards approach,” focusing on traditional criminals and local emergencies, according to a report this month by the Congressional Research Service (CRS).” [11] The CRS Report further found “little true fusion, or analysis of disparate data sources, identification of intelligence gaps and pro-active collection of intelligence.” [12]

The DOJ and Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC) have recently developed fusion center guidelines in response to these criticisms.[2]

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) highlights five problem areas regarding fusion centers: ambiguous lines of authority, private sector participation, military participation, data fusion/data mining, and excessive secrecy. [13]…

And Gudthots(@gudthots) comment bringing an Insurrection Barbie thread. (I have shortened it a bit by removing the repetition of her name. -GC)

THREAD starts here: https://nitter.poast.org/DefiyantlyFree/status/1907895037045731595

Insurrection Barbie
I was curious as to how the United States can continue to engage in proxy wars without an official war declaration from Congress so I finally did the research.

You’ve heard of the CIA’s covert ops. But you may not know about Section 127e—the Pentagon’s shadow authority to fund, arm, and direct foreign proxy forces with almost no oversight. And it’s how the U.S. runs wars you never hear about.

What is Section 127e?
It’s a legal authority buried in the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Full name: 10 U.S. Code § 127e – Support of Special Operations for Irregular Warfare.

Passed after 9/11 and expanded under Obama, Section 127e allows U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) to:
•Fund and train foreign militaries or militias
•Embed with them in combat
•Launch joint operations
•With almost zero transparency

These aren’t advisors.
Under 127e, U.S. forces can command, plan, and direct the actions of foreign troops—without a declaration of war. It turns militias into covert extensions of U.S. Special Forces.

The budget? — Classified.
But documents leaked in 2022 revealed that 127e operations had been run in:
•Syria
•Yemen
•Somalia
•Niger
•Cameroon
•Egypt
•Tunisia
•Afghanistan
And elsewhere.

Where does the money go?
Not just to the proxies.
Huge portions are outsourced to contractors who provide:
•Logistics
•Intelligence
•Weapons
•Private airlift
•Surveillance
•Local “intermediaries”

—

Booz Allen Hamilton
•Deep ties to DoD, NSA, and SOCOM
•Provides SIGINT, surveillance logistics, and battlefield IT for Special Forces
•Former employer of Edward Snowden
•Has won classified “special access” contracts linked to counterterror ops in Africa and the Middle East

CACI International
•Major player in “human terrain mapping” and irregular warfare support
•Accused in Abu Ghraib torture-related litigation, but still awarded contracts
•Known to work on interrogation, signals intel, and drone ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance)

Leidos
•Tech contractor tied to CYBERCOM and Special Operations
•Supplies battlefield AI, threat detection systems, and intel fusion platforms used in 127e partner missions

L3Harris
•Specializes in tactical communications, ISR drones, and battlefield radar
•Linked to 127e-supported drone base operations in Niger and Somalia
•Provides real-time targeting support through embedded tech systems

DynCorp (now part of Amentum)
•Previously ran covert airlift and logistics for the U.S. in Afghanistan and Africa
•Allegedly used to move arms and personnel supporting 127e programs in East Africa and the Sahel

Palantir Technologies
•Provides battlefield data fusion and surveillance targeting support
•Used to map insurgent networks in real-time
•Its software has supported JSOC-led kill/capture missions using 127e-authorized partner forces

—

The problem? Congress barely sees any of this.
Section 127e funding is hidden in “Overseas Contingency Operations” or “classified annexes” of the defense budget.

There’s no public debate, no war authorization, and no transparency on outcomes or casualties.

This isn’t just a loophole.
Section 127e is a deep state weapon—a tool for war without war powers, partnered with defense contractors that profit in the shadows.

Your tax dollars fund secret wars.
Corporations get the checks.
Congress gets kept in the dark.

The only way to really understand our foreign policy, especially the shadowy foreign policy that operates independently of the executive branch is by: Following Section 127e.
Following the classified contracts.
Following the bodies buried in black budgets.

I hope this article sheds a bit more light on the Gordian Knot/Ticking bomb that POTUS Trump and his team are dealing with.

KMAG 20250402 OPEN TOPIC & Al Waleed

My working hypothesis is our enemy are the Brits. Specifically the Fabian Society, The Cecil Rhodes/Milner Round Tables, the Rhodes Scholars, the London School of Economics and Oxford University.

At first I was puzzled by the destruction of the UK via immigration until I realized it was consistent with the Fabian Society desire to destroy our current world, based on Christianity and independent thought, in order to implement their ‘New World Order.’ Note that our most recent illegals are NOT Christians from Central and South America, but non-Christians shipped in from Africa and elsewhere.


“Countless people will hate the new world order and will die protesting against it.”
– Fabian Co-Founder, H.G. Wells, The New World Order, 1939


“We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by consent or conquest.” – James Paul Warburg [son of Paul Warburg, the author of the Federal Reserve Act] February 7, 1950


Penny Butler of Australia has an excellent compilation such as this (2 minutes)

Dr Mahathir Mohamad former (and longest serving) Prime Minister of Malaysia who for over 40 years as a world leader would have been privy to the highest level international meetings warning at International Conference of the New World Order, in Putrajaya, 2015 of the global elite’s The New World Order and depopulation agenda. Unbelievable.

War_Hamster (Brady) mentioned that Britain actually has 55 votes in the United Nations. So the British Empire has not really died, it has just gone underground as The Five Eyes (FVEY) intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, shows.

https://badlands.substack.com/p/q-is-our-best-fren [By American Hypnotist]

Some time ago I wrote a piece entitled Q is Real Because Math Says So, in which I demonstrated why we can be mathematically certain that Q is a legitimate insider connected to the Trump administration.

The author goes over why he thinks Q is friend not foe.

Joe Lange another Badlands author wrote Bloody Wonderland about the Uranium One deal.

Why did Q say, “It’s a name recognized around the world.”

The Uranium One deal is connected to someone that nobody ever mentions. This drop is dated Nov 2, 2017, just three days before Prince Alwaleed would be arrested in Saudi Arabia along with hundreds of his allies.

That’s also why Q often mentions “Alice and Wonderland.”

Who is Alice?

What is Wonderland?

This is just one of the many Q drops on the day Alwaleed was arrested.

Q drop #75 — Nov 05, 2017:

By the time POTUS returns from his trip the world will be a different place. Godfather lll Alice &

Safe harbor? Port of transfer? Why was there a recent smear campaign against JK (Jared Kushner) and POTUS? Why is the timing important?

Here’s another Q drop on the day Alwaleed was arrested.

Q drop #80 — Nov 05, 2017:

We need to get organized. Things need to be solved to understand what is about to happen. Let’s start w/ Alice & WONDERLAND.

Wizards & Warlocks. Q

Joe Lange then writes:

Who is in control?

Alwaleed was a big puppet master controlling the Obama administration, lots of politicians around the world, big corporations, media and banks. He also controlled the CIA. Removing him from the chessboard threw the enemy into chaos. They’ve been reacting to what’s been happening ever since.

….

My question is WHO controls Al Waleed?

So let’s take a look at Al Waleed, Obama’s mentor and part owner of the upper floors of the Mandalay Bay resort, including the 32nd floor, which was involved in the Las Vegas massacre.

Hopefully by now we realize the people we see, like Obama, the Clintons, and perhaps even the Rothschilds are not the true puppet masters but only their visible lieutenants.

G. Edward Griffin put it this way:

From the Bank of England forward all the governments of Europe had central banks for a very good reason. The kings and princes of Europe had learned from hard experience that they could raise the taxes of their subjects only so high and then they had a revolt on their hands and they tended to lose their jobs (and heads). It appears that that natural level was about 40-43%; people will tolerate taxes up to about 40-43% and then they start digging in their heels and they just won’t allow it to go any further.

Griffin was talking about taxes, but it extends to anything the ruling elite want to do that they know the peasants will revolt against. So it is best to let your lieutenants heads roll.

So back to Al Waleed, a very well paid lieutenant.
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal (Wiki)

Al Waleed is a grandson of Abdulaziz, the first king of Saudi Arabia, and of Riad Al Solh, Lebanon’s first prime minister….
Al Waleed received a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Menlo College in California in 1979,[30][31] finishing in two-and-a-half years,[1]: 43  and a master’s degree with honors in social science from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University in 1985,[32][33] finishing in eleven months.[1]: 57 

Menlo College has a -B rating. Syracuse has an -A rating and is #175 in Best Colleges in America.


Note the last paragraph of this screen capture from the book: The Empire on which the Black Sun Never Set. This was Al Waleed’s Saudi Grandfather.

So the British had set-up a win-win situation where who ever won was a British puppet.

All the Saudi Kings so far are sons of Muhammad bin Saud. LINK

This was Al Waleed’s Lebanese grandfather:

An intimate alliance: The joint struggle of General Edward Spears and Riad al-Sulh to oust France from Lebanon, 1942 – 1944

Lebanese historiography transformed them into a national myth, portraying Khuri and Sulh as the founding fathers of an independent Lebanon, who heroically resisted French occupation in the struggle for their country’s independence and national unity. A third figure, however, is missing in this myth: that of Major-General Edward L. Spears, who played a key role in both events. Footnote1

This article aims to shed light on the unique collaboration between General Spears, the British Minister for Syria and Lebanon, and Riad al-Sulh, independent Lebanon’s first prime minister. The two worked closely during the Second World War to bring an end to the French Mandate and to force France out of a region where it had centuries-old religious, cultural and economic ties. It focuses on the period between February 1942, when General Spears was appointed by Winston Churchill to head the British Mission to Syria and Lebanon, and November 1943, when the Lebanese constitutional crisis effectively concluded France’s control of Lebanon.

To uncover the extent of their collaboration is no easy task, as it was shrouded in secrecy… 


So in both cases there was major British influence.

More on Al Waleed’s Lebanese Grandfather.


The Struggle for Arab Independence

This 730-page history book reads more like a gripping novel, with its protagonist carrying the tale from start to finish. In addition to plotting the course of how myriad Arab provinces came to become the rigid collection of states that we today call the Middle East, Seale also chronicles the life of Lebanon’s prodigal, yet perhaps most important, son: Riad el-Solh.

The life of Lebanon’s first prime minister is recounted from the days of his grandfather Ahmad to his untimely death in Amman in 1951.

Seale, who spent six years researching material for the book, describes a dark and tumultuous period of Arab history, jumping back and forth between the life of his protagonist and the broader events happening at the time, to offer one of the most comprehensive books in English on Arab struggles against Ottoman, Western and now Zionist occupiers.

The book cites countless sources from historical works, intelligence documents and personal accounts to paint what is, at times, a rose-tinted picture of Riad el-Solh’s political life and the role he played in shaping Lebanon and the wider Middle East. Seale portrays Solh as an internationalist, an Arabist, a working class sympathizer, an anti-colonialist, a journalist and a lawyer all in one…. Seale describes Solh’s most significant change of heart, when he started to believe in an independent Lebanon, something that set him apart from his fellow Arab nationalists. From that point onward, the reader follows Solh’s every political maneuver to become the first premier of the country, as he navigates his way past colonial French occupation, hostile Maronite opponents and even his own family members. The chapter describing how he and Bishara el-Khoury, the British-backed first president of Lebanon, battled with the French in the final throws of their colonial project, is separated into rounds — 14 of them, each a page or two long.

Finally, Seale describes how King Abdullah I of Jordan, the great grandfather of the current king, who sought to end the fight with the Zionists, tricked Solh into coming to Amman to mend ties that had deteriorated, only to be assassinated in what Seale suggests was an Israeli plot.

OIL

Oil is a very big factor. Without oil, Saudi Arabia is just a desert inhabited by a bunch of backward goat herders. Do you really think uneducated Bedouins could setup an oil industry without American or European aid? One interesting tidbit is the mismanagement of oil money causing major headaches for the Saudi Kings. The question then becomes, WHO taught them how to handle money? WHO helped Al Waleed become a multi billionaire?

Gudthots yesterday brought up Grifterism: The Economic Engine of Democrats.

Colonel Towner has on more than one occasion brought up the corrupt officials within countries that are the puppets of the ‘International Syndicate’ aka GRIFTERS.


“The International Syndicate has dispatched these forces down there (to S. America) to take democracies and dismantle them. In doing so they have to have that powerful elite that we have talked about repeatedly, that are corrupted officials that are on the payroll of the international Syndicate and the CIA. They are the modern day plantation overseers.

So I think Joe Lange has it backwards, Al Waleed is more likely a puppet of the CIA. A very, very useful puppet who got Obama into the White house, helped choose his cabinet AND transformed US Mosques towards radicalism. (Good luck finding a better link anymore!)

The quote is taken from OPERATION GLADIO – CHAPTER 47 – “USAID-Office of Public Safety” PART 5. This wiki article, Office of Public Safety, and what is left out is discussed.


Saud’s reign (1953–64) — Britannica

…When Ibn Saud established a council of ministers in 1953, Saud became its president, and in November of that year he became king with the support of his brothers.

He continued his father’s program of modernization, with special emphasis on increased medical and educational facilities. Domestic affairs, however, were overshadowed by a crisis in the administration of the central government; in the early 1950s the first large-scale petroleum royalties began to be received, and financial and administrative affairs became too complex to be conducted simply on the personal authority of the king. Saud had neither the ability nor the inclination to cope with these problems, and he so mismanaged the financial affairs of the state that he was forced to reconstitute the council of ministers and give full executive powers to Faisal as its president. Saud did not regain executive authority until 1960….

Saud abdicated in 1964 and Faisal who became king was assassinated by a nephew in 1975. Faisal instigated the Oil Embargo of 1973–1974. If you actually believe that the Rockefellers were NOT behind that embargo that started the steep rise of oil prices we are still seeing… Well I suggest you read:

The Multi-Billion Dollar Myth: The Rockefeller Files

 ….the shortages of petroleum which have been artificially created in the US has made us dependent on foreign oil. In order to calm an angry public, there has been much talk of taking off the political restrictions and achieving “energy independence”. It is strictly a smokescreen. While talking independence, the Rockefeller conspirators are planning to keep us dependent on foreign oil. After all, they own or market most of that foreign oil.

In the Wall Street Journal for March 6, 1974, Henry Kissinger admitted the talk about “energy independence” was a fraud. Project Independence is merely a weigh station on the road to a new Project Interdependence and at the World Energy Conference in Detroit during September 1974, President Ford, speaking without any detectable ventriloquist’s strings, declared:

“I call on all of you to respond to the challenge and to propose to the world your recommendations for a global energy strategy. Whether you call it Project Interdependence, or some other name, is not the essential point.”

It is the “interdependence” which is essential. The created crises in energy, food, and population are straw men, set up by the Insiders so they can be knocked down and a “New World Order” can be established.

You can see why POTUS Trump’s ‘Drill baby DRILL’ causes panic in the hearts of the globalists.

The above quote is disputed but this quote is directly from David Rockefeller’s 2011 “Memoirs”, p.368, Random House

BTW, most of Faisal’s sons attended university abroad at either Cambridge or Oxford or US Ivy League schools. LINK Also of interest, Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Alwaleed’s father, was Saudi Arabia’s finance minister during the early 1960s. 🤔

Another interesting tidbit from my old notes:

SHELL OIL OWNERSHIP
Shell Oil (and BP and the Rockefellers) have been pushing global warming since day one when they provided the initial funding for the Climate Research Unit of East Anglia. The Dutch royal family (The House of Orange) is still reportedly the biggest shareholder in the Dutch part of the group, although the size of its stake has long been a source of debate. The Queen of England is also a major stockholder link and Scuttlebutt and more Scuttlebutt.

Another major stockholder is the Rothschilds, along with the Rockefellers.. The Rothschild Investment Trust was formed in 1988 => RIT Capital Partners. Rockefellers and Rothschilds Unite

2019: OILIGARCHY: ‘The Twin Pillars’, ARAMCO Strike Represents a Shot Through the Heart of Rothschild/Rockefeller Global Oil Monopoly

With 261 billion barrels of crude oil lying beneath its soil, Saudi Arabia remains the lynch pin in the international oil grab presided over by the Four Horsemen of oil (ExxonMobil, Chevron Texaco, BP Amoco & Royal Dutch/Shell). As Joseph Story, Middle East analyst and former ARAMCO executive once said, “Only one factor is involved in where the price of oil is going to go, and that is Saudi Arabia”….

According to Platt’s Oilgram News, Saudi ARAMCO also supplies Big Oil with discount crude, giving them $5/barrel off the posted spot price of whichever grade of crude the Horsemen are buying. ARAMCO official James McPherson resigned in disgust because the company was holding back from direct competition with the US Horsemen. McPherson then revealed a $17 million ARAMCO tax fraud to Saudi authorities.

Abdullah Tariki, Saudi Director of Petroleum and Minerals, went public with the charges and announced new transit fees that would be charged the Horsemen to compensate for the rip-off. Within days of the proclamation Tariki was driven from office by King Fahd [1982 –2005] himself. [110]

ARAMCO’s lawyer was John McCloy, who chaired both Chase Manhattan and the World Bank. McCloy, who helped David Rockefeller wisk the Shah out of Tehran, was one of six “Wise Men” who advised President Johnson and was an influential member of the Warren Commission, which “investigated” the Kennedy assassination.…

John McCloy was another very interesting character.

According to WIKI:

He served as Assistant Secretary of War during World War II under Henry Stimson. In this capacity he dealt with German sabotage and political tensions in the North Africa Campaign. He was both the prime mover of Japanese internment[2] as well as a high-ranking Federal bureaucrat who opposed the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.[3][4] After the war, he served as the president of the World Bank, U.S. High Commissioner for Germany, chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank, chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, a member of the Warren Commission, and a prominent adviser to all presidents from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan.

McCloy was a member of a foreign policy group called “The Wise Men“.

Talk about a hidden puppet master!

…Britain’s relationship with Saudi Arabia, and specifically those efforts to support the nation’s aerospace industry and boost the economy through arms exports, has generated its fair share of barking dogs.  For Mourinho, it was his seemingly boundless self-belief.  For the United Kingdom, national security has been the overriding factor that has allowed our particular caravan to carry on its journey.

The heavy lifting required to achieve closer integration falls to the triumvirate of the Ministry of Defence, the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, and the Department for International Trade.  When it comes Saudi Arabia, the 2006 deliberations of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and the Attorney General also have an important role to play.  It is a well-coordinated and focused effort across Government designed to give the commercial sector the freedom of action they require to ensure security and deliver prosperity.   

…the UK-Saudi relationship should be seen as a model of how Government integration can deliver both security and prosperity.  Both are issues  that cannot be ignored in today’s volatile and unpredictable world.   This article will examine the UK-Saudi relationship, specifically the efforts to support the nation’s aerospace industry and boost the economy through arms exports.1

Britain is not alone in its determination to keep the Saudi caravan rolling along.  There are clear tensions in the United States where President Biden’s ‘recalibration’ towards Saudi Arabia is a far cry from candidate Biden’s rhetoric on the campaign trail when he vowed to make them ‘the pariah that they are.  It is the view of Frederick Kempe, President of the Atlantic Council, that when it comes to Saudi Arabia, ‘it is better to have a flawed or deeply flawed ally than an adversary’.  He is keen to emphasise that the return of Great Power competition means Saudi Arabia could turn to Russia or China should the West abandon its support.  Deeply flawed or not, the 2018 UK Saudi Arabia Joint Communique is a clear sign of how the UK intends to maintain its relationship with the Kingdom.  

Fusion – Three Years and Counting

The 2018 National Security Capability Review is a useful place to remind ourselves of the UK’s National Security Objectives.  Number one is to protect our people (at home, in our overseas territories and abroad, and to protect our territory, economic security, infrastructure and way of life).   Number two is to project our global influence – reducing the likelihood of threats materialising and affecting the UK, our interests, and those of our allies and partners.  National Security Objective Three is to promote our prosperity – seizing opportunities, working innovatively and supporting UK industry.2  So there we have it, economic security, threats against the UK and supporting UK industry are the building blocks that form the foundations of the UK’s seemingly unbreakable relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 

Khashoggi – when Dodging a Bullet is not the same as Ducking the Issue

The UK’s relationship with Saudi Arabia has not been perfectly smooth and the UK has not remained silent at every turn.  In 2019, Foreign Office Minister Alan Duncan called the mass execution of 37 mainly Shiah Muslims as ‘repulsive’ and ‘utterly unacceptable in the modern world’.  Britain’s response to the murder of [Jamal] Khashoggi was not quite so stinging.  This is despite the fact that the CIA concluded that the operation was approved at the highest levels  by Mohammed bin Salaman (MBS).  For anyone who felt that the UK had dodged a multi-million-pound export-laden bullet by ignoring MBS’ involvement, Dominic Raab was able to clarify that situation.  He told Parliament that the Government had not ducked the issue, and stressed the point that even the United States had not brought any sanctions to bear against MBS.  Case closed as they say.

Conclusion

Despite the UK’s long-standing relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it has been an increasingly challenging journey, one not helped by Saudi’s involvement in the war in Yemen since 2105.  By integrating and coordinating various offices of state, the UK Government has successfully provided the private sector the freedom of manoeuvre it needs to sell arms and military aid.  Although the MOD has several personnel advising the KSA, it is the use of private contractors that allow the UK to operate at range; not taking part in the war in Yemen but facilitating the Kingdom to continue its Iran-facing operations.  This is a potent and effective mix and one that demonstrates that the UK has, at least in the case of Saudi Arabia and the war in Yemen, achieved a truly integrated approach and certainly a model for the future.  Perhaps this is a model that is already being reshaped? Prime Minister’s Johnson’s response to the Liaison Committee following the sale of Britain’s largest chip-making plant, Newport Wafer Fab, to a Chinese firm was simply that he did ‘not want anti-China spirit to pitchfork away every investment from China in this country.’  If you were wondering, Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea at the end of 2015.  Sometimes the dogs win – don’t be like Jose. 

The Khashoggis are another interesting bunch.

Maurice Frederick Strong

(Maurice Strong, the ‘Father of Global Warming’ worked for Rockefeller’s CalTex in Nairobi. It was the joint venture between the Texas Company and Socal to exploit Saudi oil. LINK)

….Maurice bought the Colorado Land & Cattle Company and its accompanying 200,000 acres of San Luis Valley in Colorado in 1978 (now owned by the Conservation Fund)….The ranch belonged to Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, a man who’s career was started by the Bin Ladens and who
[had] strong connections to British intelligence.

… At the ranch there are representatives of many of the world’s religions, spiritual movements, and New Age sects, including the Catholic and Protestant churches, Buddhist monks, and representatives of different variations on Hinduism. A circular temple has been built on the ranch where the missionaries of different religions can contemplate with each other. If you look at the floor plan you’ll see the building is a complex flower (the representatives sit in circles within this flower) within a Celtic Cross/Hindu Kiakra. The latter two represent a divine sexual union. The building seems to be a Rosy Cross, which can be interpreted as having the same meaning….

Jamal Khashoggi: The profile of a Saudi elite turned Riyadh critic

Jamal Khashoggi was born in 1958 to a well-connected family. His grandfather was Mohammed Khaled Khashoggi, King Abdulaziz Al Saud’s personal doctor. Jamal is also the nephew of late billionaire Adnan Khashoggi.

After graduating from Indiana State University in 1982, Khashoggi quickly launched a career in journalism….

Known for being a vocal critic of Riyadh, Khashoggi used to be a loyalist before Prince Mohammed bin Salman became the crown prince in 2017.

In the 1960’s, Adnan made a name for himself by brokering arms deals between Riyadh and Washington.

Reportedly also having close ties with late Israeli PM Ariel Sharon, Adnan became a prominent figure in Middle East politics.

Adnan was implicated in the Iran-Contra affair and suspected of being the middleman who brokered back-door arms sales to embargoed Iran during the Reagan administration.

In 2015, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal launched a TV station called Al-Arab News and appointed Jamal, his close confidant, as its editor-in-chief.

However, the TV station aired for less than 24 hours before shutting down, citing technical difficulties. Rumors started to circulate that the Saudi government pressured the station into closure after it broadcasted a Bahraini politician from opposition.

According to Jamal’s friends, who spoke to BBC Turkey and wished to remain anonymous, Jamal’s problems began shortly after the Al-Arab News incident.

Jamal was barred from speaking to any news outlets and could not find any work during this time, and chose to self-exile himself to the U.S…

In my opinion Al Waleed was extremely dangerous to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and his plans to remove Saudi Arabia from the grip of the ‘International Syndicate.’ Mohammed bin Salman’s plans are not to use Saudi’s oil money to buy influence in the USA or promote touchy-feely causes at home, but to train his people in the sciences and technology and INDUSTRIALIZE so Saudi Arabia can actually join the first world.

Reading between the lines, I think the capture and information extraction from the royal princes probably was actually about finding and eliminating the NATO/CIA trained Stay-behind Units. This would go a very long way to defanging the ‘International Syndicate’s’ control of Saudi Arabia.

I think Jamal Khashoggi was eliminated because he was actually a CIA gun runner just like his uncle and therefore dangerous to the stability of Saudi Arabia. As we are finding out, being a ‘journalist’ is such a useful cover.

KMAG 2025326 OPEN TOPIC & Operation Gladio Cont.

I said when I saw this YouTube on Monday, that I would explain why I agree with Colonel Towner about Mike Benz.


BOMBSHELL: Obama’s Smith-Mundt Move LEGALIZED PROPAGANDA in U.S.! With TAXPAYER MONEY!

In 1948, Congress authorized taxpayer funds to manipulate the news cycle overseas. However, the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 established a “Chinese wall” between the propaganda spread overseas to help ensure various powers were elected and what was allowed to be spread here at home. In 2012, Obama “modernized” the act, resulting in the ability to use USAID funds and other vehicles to influence the news cycle here at home. Trish Regan reports that this was the beginning of the end and gave the “establishment” an unreasonable amount of power.


Trish Regan shows clips of Mike Benz. If you look at what is said through Gladio Glasses, you can see why Colonel Towner does not like Benz.

From my point of view he is a classic Limited Hangout

Limited Hangout is a CIA information control tool, it involves the fake ‘disclosure’ of some secret, inside of a limited view; 👉such that related things would not be questioned.  The Agency likes to create the ‘opposition’ which is in fact controlled opposition – an early lesson learned.  The easiest way to infiltrate a counter insurgency, is to start one from scratch (causality).

It is not that he does not bring good information, it is that the information does not add all that much to what we already know. He gives us great details but nothing really new.


For me the big tell is he does not connect the ‘Arab Spring’ to Britain and the Fabian Society. (I cover that in detail towards the end of this article.)


The Communism vs ‘Democracy’ fight was ALWAYS a manufactured fight — Hegelian Dialectic – The No. 1 Tool of the Cabal. Up until the Soviet Union Collapsed the Communists were the designated ‘Boogeyman’ The ‘communism’ label was used to justify the overthrow of any government that did not allow the Transnational Corporations to come in an rape their country.

This 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. — Guatemala, United Fruit & the CIA


However we can not leave out the British connection. Their goal was to advance ‘The Third Way’ and a one-world ANGLO OLIGARCHY RULED government. The USA provides cannon fodder and money, while NATO & the Brits provide the top down direction. Note it is the BRITS that have continually stalled any peace between Russia and Ukraine.

History of the London School of Economics

….Anthony Giddens, the former Director of the LSE, stands as the creator of the “Third Way”followed by both Tony Blair (who unveiled the Fabian Window at LSE in 2005) and Bill Clinton. His policy created a balance between the traditional welfare state and the belief in total free market economics. This policy is being put into effect by governments all across the world as free market economies continue to deal with wealth inequalities and bettering the welfare of the general population… 🤮


E. M. Smith explained it in 2011 in “Evil Socialism” vs “Evil Capitalism”

….The USA until about 1990 was a “Mixed Economy” with some “natural monopolies” under government “control” via “regulation”; and with many competitive markets. We’ve moved to more central planning and more central “regulation” (in some cases as a cover for the “planning” word that has gotten tied to Socialism… so is political to some extent). With the nationalization of GM and the bank “bailout” / “rescue” that was really more of a ‘take-under’ in some ways; we moved to a Lange Type Socialism.

At the next tier down, we have Government-dependent Oligopolies. Say you wanted to make airplanes. First off, you need that dozen lawyers to work the FAA for you. Next up, you need some friends in the Military to feed you contracts. Don’t think so? When Boeing gets a $B contract to ‘study’ or ‘develop’ and you need to design your new tech from scratch on your own money: Who do you think will win? So the government basically decides how many companies it wants, and who they will be, then funds them “to plan” with contracts. (This is NOT a hypothetical… I’ve watched them flat out announce “We’d like Lockheed and Martin to merge” or “we don’t want…” usually when one of them is ‘having issues’ and the topic is raised. Then the government casts the one vote that matters…)

And so it goes…

This is, dare I say it…. basically the same way the Fascist “Third Way” worked. (And it DOES work). FDR and Wilson both had high praise for The Third Way and you can see how they shifted America from a ‘free market’ toward “Third Way” government – corporation “cooperation” … It was this same process / tendency that Ike warned about in the “Military Industrial Complex” speech.

So we’ve moved away from straight up competition (and with good reasons… it is less profitable and more destructive in some ways and it is prone to monopoly practices) and toward that Classical Socialist end of things; with exact placement varying over time. And we called it a “Mixed Economy” at the ‘tepid’ end; as the name “fascist Third Way” got a bit tainted during W.W.II …. that tendency for Mussolini and Hitler to stir in a load of Nationalism and for the Nazis a double helping of Racism spoiled the soup for the Third Way “Socialist Lite” folks like FDR.

And the propaganda worked.

We’ve now got a “Progressive” and a “Third Way” government that IS a form of Socialism. But just don’t ever point out that it’s basically the same “Third Way” process, using what’s properly called “Corporatism”, to achieve the Socialist agenda; that was first innovated by the Fascists… After all, it doesn’t fit the propaganda paradigm “Fascists bad, WORLD Socialists good” put out by Stalin…


This connection between fascists, transnational corporations, and financiers is why I have gone into Mercantilism so deeply. Colonel Towner starts looking at history from WWII on, but the roots go back to the British Empire and the British East India Company.


I first ran across the references to who was actually financing the Bolsheviks and Hitler here: Congressman McFadden’s Speech in1934 before the attempts on his life and the final successful one resulting in his murder……

…These twelve private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this Country by the bankers who came here from Europe and repaid us our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this Country to finance Japan in a war against Russia. They created a reign of terror in Russia with our money in order to help that war along. They instigated the separate peace between Germany and Russia, and thus drove a wedge between the allies in World War. They financed Trotsky’s passage from New York to Russia so that he might assist in the destruction of the Russian Empire. They fomented and instigated the Russian Revolution, and placed a large fund of American dollars at Trotsky’s disposal in one of their branch banks in Sweden so that through him Russian homes might be thoroughly broken up and Russian children flung far and wide from their natural protectors. They have since begun breaking up of American homes and the dispersal of American children. “Mr. Chairman, there should be no partisanship in matters concerning banking and currency affairs in this Country…

All the evidence for McFadden’s claim is written down in meticulous detail in books by Anthony C Sutton titled “The Wall Street Trilogy” which is a compilation of three works by Sutton.

“Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution”
“Wall Street and FDR”
“Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler”


Colonel Towner gives some of the details found in Sutton’s books. She calls the Hegelian Dialectic, [Problem – Reaction — Solution,] The Strategy of Tension

Colonel Towner: Oh I can even tell you the names!, I have articles pinned. We can get into the details probably in the second show. I can give you the names of the CIA agents that were focusing on this and the DEA agent ?Anglinger? Or what ever. The first guy who was in charge of the precursor of the DEA, he is on record saying, that every major drug bust that they did, they were never able to get the top echelon because they were ALL CIA AGENTS! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. The ones who get arrested and held accountable are the low level guys. Wait til I get to the ‘War on Drugs’ (47 Min)

The second stage of all of this for me was figuring out — Well I have got who is doing it, this British Fabian — Round Table Crowd. So how did Communism and Fascism enter into the picture? You have to go back and read Antony C. Sutton‘s books “Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution” and “Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler” and “Wall Street and FDR: The True Story of How Franklin D. Roosevelt Colluded with Corporate America” I highly recommend reading his trilogy, they are not that thick.

There is an address in NYC called 120 Broadway. It is where the Fed was, it was where FDRs first office was, the Boys Club, the Dinner Club, the Rockefeller’s office is, the Rothschilds, the banks, JP Morgan, They are ALL in this building. They orchestrate EVERYTHING out of this building. They do not have to go outside. They funded the Bolsheviks.

Trotsky lived in NYC for several years waiting for the war to end so he could plant the Bolshevik flag.… The Russian civil war in the early 1900s was actually instigated. The were generals that wanted a national referendum, a democracy. Well that was not going to be allowed. Those generals were murdered by people who came from the USA or Britain. The money for the Bolsheviks cam from 120 Broadway and London UK. London housed Lenin, NYC, housed Trotsky. Trotsky went from USA to Canada to Russia on a State Department Visa. [When Canada tried to stop him, the USA intervened -GC] Lenin left London went thru Germany, thru Finland into Russia. London & US facilitated the creation of Bolshevik “Communism.” (50 min)

They did the same thing with Nazism. When Hitler is in prison, Do you know who ‘paid’ to help him write Mein Kempf? We did! We took money from 120 Broadway. Anthony Sutton has the actual transactions because they were carried in diplomatic pouches thru the State Department to transfer the money to pay for his ‘Aide’ to write that doctrine. The Reichstadt fire was a false flag…. It was all set up to create Martial law and usher in Hitler….

I say that because it is important to understand under the Strategy of Tension, if you don’t have chaos and control, then you can not manipulate people….

This critical information about WHO is actually in control of the USA is left completely out of anything I have seen from Mike Benz.


Mike Benz was in the State Department. We now know that the State Department is deeply entangled with the CIA. Second he is pushing the Communist Boogeyman. Communism has ALWAYS been AstroTurf. Remove the funding and it dies. As Margret thatcher said:

Here are quotes from the Mike Benz interview with Tucker Carlson. He talks of the CIA, the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, The Fake News, Atlantic Council, Censorship… ALL the stuff we ALREADY KNOW. He does a very nice job of fleshing it out but he skips over the real meat. Operation Gladio, Color Revolutions orchestrated for Corporate gain and as Resource grabs. However for me the big tell is he does not connect the ‘Arab Spring’ to Britain and the Fabian Society.

This is part of a transcript from his interview with Tucker Carlson. You can go here for a link to the video and the rest of the transcript.

Mike Benz: Uncensored: The National Security State & the Inversion of Democracy

…We quickly discovered, through the efforts of the Defense Department, the State Department in our intelligence services, that people were using the internet to congregate on blogs and forums, and free speech was championed more than anybody by the Pentagon, the State Department, and our sort of CIA cut out NGO blob architecture 👉as a way to support dissident groups around the world in order to help them overthrow authoritarian governments, as they were sort of billed. Essentially the internet free speech allowed kind of instant regime change operations, to be able to facilitate the foreign policy establishment’s State Department agenda….

All these things were created initially as DARPA projects or as joint CIA-NSA projects, to be able to help intelligence-backed groups to overthrow governments that were causing a problem, to the Clinton administration or the Bush administration or the Obama administration. And this plan worked magically from about 1991 until about 2014, when there began to be an about face on internet freedom and its utility. 

👉Now, the high watermark of the sort of internet free speech moment was the Arab Spring in 2011, 2012,👈 when you had this one by one.All of the adversary governments of the Obama administration, Egypt, Tunisia, all began to be toppled in Facebook revolutions and Twitter revolutions. And you had the State Department working very closely with the social media companies to be able to keep social media online during those periods. There was a famous phone call from Google’s Jared Cohen to Twitter to not do their scheduled maintenance so that, the preferred opposition group in Iran would be able to use Twitter, to win that election…

So it was; free speech was an instrument of statecraft from the national security state to begin with. 👉All of that architecture, all the NGOs, the relationships between the tech companies and the national security state had been long established for freedom.In 2014, after the coup in Ukraine, there was an unexpected counter coup where Crimea and the Donbas broke away and they broke away with essentially a military backstop that NATO was highly unprepared for at the time. They had one last Hail Mary chance, which was the Crimea annexation vote on, in 2014. And when the hearts and minds of the people of Crimea voted, to join the Russian Federation, that was the last straw for the concept of free speech on the internet

In the eyes of NATO as they saw it, the fundamental nature of war changed at that moment. And NATO at that point declared something that they first called the Gerasimov doctrine, which is named after this Russian military, a general, who they claimed made a speech that the fundamental nature of war has changed. You don’t need to win military skirmishes to take over Central and Eastern Europe. All you need to do is control the media and the social media ecosystem, because that’s what controls elections. And if you simply get the right administration into power, they control the military. So it’s infinitely cheaper than conducting a military war to simply conduct an organized political, influence operation over social media. And legacy media and industry had been created that spanned the Pentagon, the the British Ministry of Defense in Brussels into a organized political warfare outfit, essentially infrastructure that was created, initially stationed in Germany and in Central and Eastern Europe to create psychological buffer zones, basically to create the ability to to have the military work with the social media companies, to censor Russian propaganda, or to censor domestic right wing populist groups in Europe who were rising in political power at the time because of the migrant crisis.

So you had the systematic targeting by our State Department, by our [Inter-Service Intelligence], by the Pentagon, of groups like Germany’s AfD, the Alternative for Deutschland there, and for groups in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. Now, when Brexit happened in 2016, it was [it created a] crisis moment where suddenly they didn’t have to worry just about Central and Eastern Europe anymore. It was coming westward, this idea of Russian control over hearts and minds….

Now the entire rules-based international order would collapse unless the military took control over media, because Brexit would give rise to “Frexit” in France, with Marine Le Pen to “Spexit” in in Spain with a Vox party to “Italexit” in Italy, to “Grexit” in Germany, to “Grexit” in Greece, the EU would come apart, so NATO would be killed without a single bullet being, being fired. And then not only that, now that NATO is gone, now there’s no enforcement arm for the International Monetary Fund, the IMF or the world Bank. So now the financial stakeholders who depend on the battering ram of the national security state would basically be helpless against governments around the world. So from their perspective, if the military did not begin to censor the internet, every all of the democratic institutions and infrastructure that gave rise to the. World after World War Two would collapse….

The whole push after the 2016 election and after Brexit and after a couple of other, you know, social media run elections that went the wrong way from what the State Department wanted, like the 2016 Philippines election, was to completely invert everything that we described as being the underpinnings of a democratic society in order to deal with the threat of free speech on the internet. And what they essentially said is we need to redefine democracy from being about the will of the voters to being about the sanctity of democratic institutions. And who are the democratic institutions? Oh, it’s us, you know, it’s the military, it’s NATO, it’s the IMF and the World Bank. It’s the mainstream media, who it is, the NGOs. And of course, these NGOs are largely State Department funded or IC funded. It’s essentially all of the elite establishments, that were under threat from the rise of domestic populism that declared their own consensus to be the new definition of democracy. Because if you define democracy as being the strength of democratic institutions rather than a focus on the will of the voters, then what you’re left with is essentially democracy is just the consensus building architecture within the democratic institutions themselves….

As someone in the State Department, I find it hard to believe he is not aware of NATO and the CIA’s connection to Operation Gladio.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Back to my original article. I am sorry for the typos, misspelling and such. I did not have time to edit my first draft. I am hoping that you take the time to read these two articles or watch the video because it explains so much of the current situation.

Last week I left off with this:

[VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]

Colonel: Operation Northwood was created, & drafted by CIA, Allen Dulles and General Lyman Lemnitzer chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It was an Operation Gladio Event. In it they proposed, to McNamara [secretary of defense] and JFK, — they wanted Cuba back so bad – that Operation Northwood featured all of the major US cities having terror attacks by Stay-behind trained people. The people would be dressed as Cuban Nationalists. They would basically say we had been invaded by Cuba, communism was taking over however the entire time it would be people dressed as Cubans. They were going to kill tens of thousands of Americans to instill fear, so they could do a ground invasion of Cuba.

JFK says absolutely not, we are not doing this. Allen Dulles, just before this, had been fired. Lyman Lemnitzer, in what should have been a demotion and a resignation, JFK thought, was reassigned to NATO.

Colonel: JFK had never been told about Operation Gladio. He had never been told that a sub unit of NATO called ACC [Allied Clandestine Committee – GC], was the planning cell for all Operation Gladio events. Unknowingly JFK put Lemnitzer in charge of Operation Gladio. Why that is important is because…

[END VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]

I want to make sure everyone sees this part.

[VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]

1:24:50 — Colonel: I want to make one last point.

When we talked about the refugee situation, one of the casualties of that is Human Trafficking and Child Trafficking. If anyone wants to do any research on tying Gladio to that particular topic? I suggest you start in Belgium. Belgium not only has a very robust operation Gladio network, but I want to give you the name of Marc Dutroux. That guy set-up the most hideous child Trafficking Network, using refugees, to blackmail all of the foreign dignitaries, once NATO moved to Belgium. It is all reported.

The Revelations of WikiLeaks: No. 4—The Haunting Case of a Belgian Child Killer and How WikiLeaks Helped Crack It

I also want [to say] in closing, that as you explore this topic, you will see, and I saw it personally when I lived in Italy. In one bomb attack they killed five judges. Initially they killed every investigative reporter. — In Turkey and in Italy and Portugal, in Germany, — If you wrote about Operation Gladio before it broke big in Italy? YOU DIE! If you were part of government and investigated it? YOU DIE. If you try to litigate as a judge. YOU DIE!

There has been so much death and destruction related to Operation Gladio and the exposure of it, that it’s breathtaking. I have never seen anything like it. The depravity is best illustrated when you look at Belgium’s Operation Gladio Network because it is so disgusting.

You have to have all those facets. You have to have Money Laundering. You have to have the Drug [Trafficking.] You have to have the war… And it is all used to feed a global fascist takeover. By us focusing on the WEF and other low hanging fruit you miss the big picture and that is on purpose.

— Brady: The decisions made in the smoke filled rooms in London and NYC, and a little bit in DC as well as a few other major European capitols. These are the names we do not get to know very often. The people that sit on the Council on Foreign Relations are not necessarily the people that sit at the head of the table. They are NOT the Puppet Masters. We know who some of the names are but I do not think we will know all of them. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Shadow State, this is who rules the world.

[END VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]

This is the information that Mike Benz is diverting attention from in my opinion.

I am starting from where I left off last week.

[VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]

55:40 – 57:30 — Colonel: Unknowingly JFK put Lemnitzer in charge of Operation Gladio. Why that is important is because Operation Gladio, NATO was first stood-up in Paris France. NATO was not in Belgium.

Charles de Gaulle, the president of France, They tried to assassinate him over 20 times.

He had disbanded an organization called OAS, kinda a secret service operators, but they were actually bad people. It had been set-up before de Gaulle took over. He disbands that at the same time he and JFK are talking about giving Algeria, an African county, their freedom back.

BECAUSE OPERATION GLADIO IS TO CREATE THIS FASCIST ONE WORLD ORDER, NEITHER DEGAULLE NOR JFK ARE ALLOWED TO GIVE ALGERIA THEIR FREEDOM. AFRICA IS GOING TO BE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT A SLAVE COLONY.

There is nobody allowed to be free in all of Africa according to their plan.

So the minute de Gaulle, started saying he wanted the French out of Algeria and he wanted to give Algeria their freedom, they started trying to kill them.

57:30 — Brady: This is the OAS…

57:30 – 58:30 — Colonel: Here is the interesting tie to Operation Gladio and JFK. de Gaulle kicks NATO out. He withdraws French forces from NATO. France does not rejoin NATO until 2009.

Within a year, JFK is dead. The day JFK gets assassinated, the Dallas police picks-up a known OAS agent, and escorts him without questioning him, to the border and dumps him off in Mexico. TWO OF THEM. So the same people known to be trying to kill de Gaulle were in Dallas on the same day that JFK gets murdered.

58:30 – 59:00– Brady: I absolutely agree with what you are saying. I have a couple of quotes to add. There was a phone call between de Gaulle and JFK where JFK says, No I had nothing to do with the coup attempt but I can’t speak for my CIA. And then there is a quote from de Gaulle when he came home from JFK’s funeral, He flat out said on French TV, Kennedy was killed by the same security forces that went after me.

59:00 — Colonel: Correct.

— Brady: If anyone has seen The Day of The Jackal, that is what it is all about.

59:05 – 1:01:10 — Colonel: What is interesting about that, is when you go back and start reading things? You go, Oh my God, that is Operation Gladio….

It is not to say everything is, but Operation Gladio explains so much of our history that has been at odds with logic, because you could not see that silent hand in it. They seem to be disconnected but are all somehow tied together.

Operation Gladio is the backbone that ties them all together. We are just talking about history, we are not talking about what [is] going on yet.

…. I was stationed in Italy in 1990. I got off an airplane on August 2nd. I remember that date because when I got off, an international airplane at the international airport in Rome Italy, there were about five Carabinieris with AK-47s to every one passenger in that terminal. I am looking around and going, what in Hell have I done? I’m thinking Italy is a European country. I have seen all the pictures and I am thinking, Holy crap, are we at war? What happen during those 6 hours I was on a plane.

What happened was Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait while I was asleep on the plane. So I get off the plane in Rome, and they are on high alert. For the people who do not know, there is a lot of speculation that the ambassador who was in charge of Iraq, April Glaspie gave the go ahead to Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait by basically saying, Oh yeah, If you do that? You know that old squabble you have had over those oil wells down there? We are not going to do anything to you. So what does Saddam Hussein do? He invades.

SIDE NOTE from Christian Science Monitor May 27, 1999


US Ambassador to Iraq April Glaspie 

….Eight days before his Aug. 2, 1990, invasion of Kuwait, Saddam Hussein met with April Glaspie, then America’s ambassador to Iraq. It was the last high-level contact between the two countries before Iraq went to war.

From a translation of Iraq’s transcript of the meeting, released that September, press and pundits concluded that Ms. Glaspie had (in effect) given Saddam a green light to invade.

“We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts,” the transcript reports Glaspie saying, “such as your dispute with Kuwait. 👉Secretary [of State James] Baker🤔 has directed me to emphasize the instruction … that Kuwait is not associated with America.”

….She said she was the victim of “deliberate deception on a major scale,” and denounced the Iraqi transcript as “a fabrication” that distorted her position, though it contained “a great deal” that was accurate.

The veteran diplomat awaited her next assignment, later taking a low-profile job at the United Nations….

Glaspie is now US consul general in Cape Town, South Africa.


JAMES BAKER???? South Africa??? Is this woman another Victoria Nuland?

1:01:10 – 1:01:45 — Colonel: So let me tell you about the timing. I am reading through Operation Gladio, and I find out, on the second of August, 1990, there was a huge exposure in Italy about Operation Gladio. What is the best way to bury, exposure? A WAR!

So one week before that they had discovered the one thousand list of P2 [or Propaganda Due]

[END VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]

SIDE NOTE:

P2 or Propaganda Due

…But one conspiracy, Masonic in origin, was catapulted into the sunshine one day in March of 1981 when the Italian police searched the home of Worshipful Master Licio Gelli and found a list containing the names of some of Italy’s most prominent officials, including that of Silvio Berlusconi, a man who would become Premier of Italy and a personal friend of George W. Bush.

Founded in 1877, P2 or Propaganda Due was an irregular lodge formed as part of the Grand Orient of Italy. It had few members until Licio Gelli came to power and drastically expanded its membership within one year to over a thousand. Gelli was a former fascist, having been a “black shirt” in Mussolini’s government, and served as a liaison between Mussolini’s government and the Third Reich.

Essentially setting the P2 Lodge up as a shadow government for Italy along fascist lines in the 60’s and 70’s, Gelli’s Lodge included four Cabinet Ministers, all three heads of Italy’s intelligence organizations, forty eight members of parliament, hundreds of military officers, and the cream of the crop of Italy’s industrialists, bankers and diplomats. In addition, he developed high level contacts outside of Italy as well, most notably meeting with Alexander Haig, and contacts with Henry Kissinger and the CIA…. The most notable of the group’s known activities involved the Vatican at very high levels.

Roberto Calvi, nicknamed “God’s Banker”, headed the doomed Banco Ambrosiano that was investigated in 1981 of breaking the law when a whopping $27 million had left Italy in violation of currency transfer laws. Also accused of laundering money for the Mafia, [Remember the CIA/NATO had taken over the Mafia in order to divert the drug money into funding Operation Gladio. — GC] the Banco Ambrosiano collapsed into bankruptcy in 1982.

Calvi had clear connections with Licio Gelli, which led to the discovery of P2 and its infamous list of members. Very heavily invested in Banco Ambrosiano was the Vatican Bank, then headed by Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, who in an attempt to increase the finances of the Holy See, entangled himself with Calvi and his illicit activities – and presumably those of the Lodge – ultimately fleeing Italy to avoid prosecution to Sun City, Arizona where he died in 2006 under the protection of his Vatican passport….

[VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION]

1:01:45 – 1:02:15 — Colonel: They had discovered that the Vatican had been money laundering for Operation Gladio to the tune of multiple billions of dollars. The Archbishop of Chicago had been brought in to be put in charge of the Vatican bank. And did you know, THE VATICAN BANK HAS ONLY BEEN AROUND SINCE 1942? And did I mention that 1942 is when they set-up the Gladio Operation in Germany.

1:02:15 – 1:02:30 — Brady: And it is no coincidence that the invasion in 1990, came right on the heels of the Iran-Contra investigations which is also a CIA operation.

1:02:30 – — Colonel: The next 90 to 120 days that the exposure is happening in Italy, and then it cascades to all over Europe because Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti isn’t going to take the heat alone.

In October, these people are so tone deaf, that the ACC [Allied Clandestine Committee – GC], part of NATO that has quarterly meetings of Operation Gladio continued to have meetings! They had a meeting in October of 1990 as the exposure is coming out. So in November as more exposure happens, as a result of an investigation into Italy’s Operation Gladio units, All of the European presidents and prime ministers e are saying ‘I KNOW NOTHING!’ Andreotti was so pissed off he got on Italy’s national TV because he was not going to go down alone. He does end up in prison. He calls out every single one of the heads of the European countries, and says, if you know nothing about it, why was your guy at the NATO meeting? I know your guy was at the NATO meeting…. Implicating all of them. And that is when journalists knew to dig into all these other countries. They all had Stay-behind Units – Colonel Towner

1:04:00 – 1:04:45 — Colonel: In Italy specifically, one of the Operation Gladio events was at a bank, where like a hundred people – they basically did what they were planning to do with Operation Northwood in the USA. They would go to a bank, they would plant a bomb, it would kill one hundred people, it would wound 800 people. These were strategically done in locations where people did not support the ‘appropriate candidate’ that the West or fascists wanted to be elected. So if you were going to vote the wrong way, they would scare the hell out of you to get you to vote the right way.

1:04:45 – 1:05:00 — Brady: This absolutely does not happen in a vacuum. What else is going on geopolitically at the exact same time? The Berlin Wall came down. The dissolution of the Soviet Union. So now we basically have the reverse of what happened post WWII

1:05:00 – 1:06:00 — Colonel: Let’s finish with Argentina, because your point is dead on. I want to point out that talking about the Vatican you have Pope John Paul the First. He was Pope for 33 days. He found out about the Vatican money laundering and was going to expose it but they poisoned him and killed him. Operation Gladio.

Pope John Paul II, knew about it. He is from Poland. So the Vatican charged 10-15% usury fees for doing the money laundering to pad their own books. Some of the money the Vatican got for money laundering, you could argue was used in a good way. John Paul the II funded Solidarity in Poland to stand-up to the Soviet Union.

1:06:00 – 1:06:10 — Brady: That was Pope Pius 12 right? They embezzled over a billion dollars to Argentina but over half of that ends up in Poland for the Solidarity Movement. [Pope Pius 12 served as Pope from 2 March 1939 to 9 October 1958, during which time he led the Church through World War II. Pope John Paul II served as Pope from 16 October 1978 to 2 April 2005,– GC]

1:06:10 – 1:09:50 — Colonel: Well Pope John Paul II was the one that did it for Poland. Pope Pius 12 was before, but he was involved in Operation Gladio too.


Pope John Paul II actually starts talking to the Soviets. And one of the Operation Gladio authors with DOCUMENTATION documents messages sent by Pope John Paul II to the Soviet Union suggesting he can siphon some more money through Solidary to the Soviets to help them, because they know the Soviet Union is failing. It is in a critical state at this point, just prior to 1991. That if they wanted to use some of the money to — My words – stand up a more democratic form of government and start selling off the resources to Oligarchs that John Paul II would help with that by funneling money. So leading up to John Paul’s assassination attempt. The Fascists can not have the Soviet Union fall apart at this point because they do not have another Boogeyman right now. So they do not want it falling apart and get pissed off when they find John Paul II is trying to transition the Soviet Union out of being Communist. So they try to kill him. And they use Gladio Operators that were trained in Turkey. We have names, they were eventually arrested. This is all documented. So they get mad at John Paul II for trying to help the Soviet Union so they shoot him. He does not die but he gets the picture. He stops dealing with the Soviets but the Soviet Union falls apart anyway. — Colonel Towner

The new pope that comes in, the current pope, Pope Francis. He is the archbishop in Argentina when Operation Gladio disposes of the friendlier, less fascist president of Argentina and installs a fascist president. A president that instantly starts murdering hundreds of thousands of people. Argentina is a 95% Catholic country so if Pope Francis, as archbishop, had stood up and said stop that, the entire country would have attacked the people doing the murdering. The president would not have gotten away with it if Pope Francis had stood up. Not only did he not do that, he turned in priests that were not 100% Fascist orientated that were taken as prisoners of war. In one of the books are the statements from two who were tortured for over 6 months and Pope Francis never did anything to secure their release. They have a pending lawsuit in Argentina. He will never go there again because he is wanted for Crimes Against Humanity. It is the first time we have had a Pope that is under an Interpol Arrest warrant.

1:09:50 – 1:10:00 — Brady: A lot of that is new to me. It is very interesting. I did not know the Vatican connection was at that level at that point in time.

1:10:00 – 1:10:40 — Colonel: Then the invasion into Kuwait and the Iraq war creates in 1991 — now that they know they have to create a new boogeyman, because the Soviet Union and the ‘Communists’ [are essentially gone] — China at that time is not worthy of being a ‘communist threat’ at this point – They have to come up with a new boogeyman because you have to have someone to instill terror from. So what happened with the war in Iraq? – Oh, My God we have Islamic terrorism.

Just like they shift poppy fields, they shift terrorist threats.

1:10:40 – — Brady: Let’s not miss out on the fact that basically our intelligence agencies and this includes the British MI6 are the ones that created these Islamic Terror Cells in the first place… We created the radicalism.

1:11:00 — Colonel: And we have to have the war to start it so we have Desert Storm 1. Stop any discussions on disclosures on Operation Gladio. That created us a new enemy. AND it allowed us to move into the northern area of Iraq, Syria and Turkey and create new poppy fields there.

1:11:25 – 1:12:20 — Brady: It gets fun, There is a theory I have read recently. It rings pretty true but, “The really smart guys” in DC, their idea for how they are going to control the Middle East at the time. They thought they could topple the Sunni minor Hussein regime and put in a friendly Shiite majority regime. Because the heart of the Shiite religion is in Iraq they thought they could influence the Ayatollah of Iran. That absolutely backfired because Iran put their puppets into Iraq. Our think tanks in DC got it 180 degrees wrong. They actually thought they could de-stabilize Iran thru the Shiite route.

1:12:20 — Colonel: You realize that the president of Iran back in the day before we got the Shaw back, Mosaddegh, So he was a very liberal in a good sense and had modernized Iran. An Operation Gladio Unit took him out.

1:12:45 — Brady: In 1953

1:12:50 – 1:14:30 — Colonel: So this fascist entity can be traced to all of the instability in the Middle East. I just finished a book review on how they created in Egypt the Grand Mufti as head of Islam. See the fascist connection here. They create these Muftis, they created one in Jerusalem. Both of those Muftis are bought and paid for by Britain. They dress up people as who ever they want to implicate, and they create chaos in their countries.

The Mufi in Jerusalem literally took people and dressed them up. They doctored pictures and said Jewish people had burned a Mosque. And then they dressed up Arabs to go attack the Jewish people and kill them. That is how they create the terror. Eventually they did it so often to the Arabs in Palestine that Palestine were like “Oh Help us British government!” That is how they effect change. The create and manufacture terror and that is Operation Gladio It is a terror Machine.

1:14:30 – 1:15:00 — Brady: And then there is the creation of the Muslim Brotherhood by the British. It is really important to notice this post WWII international policy of America is just an extension of the British Foreign Policy of the Previous couple hundred years. It is the divide and conquer. They carved up the Middle East and Africa with the artificial borders specifically so you would have warring tribes that had nothing to do together and put them in one country thru an artificial border so your going to have that strife.

1:15:00 – 1:16:00 — Colonel: So the best example of that to me since I have lived there for six months, is Northern Iraq, Kurdistan. The Kurdish entity, and it was recognized on maps if you go back to the 1930s. You will see it on maps, not that it was a formal country with a president and congress and all that other stuff. It was a KNOWN ENTITY. It was huge. And it overlays today’s, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Turkey. They were recognized as a homogeneous entity and no one messed with them.

After WWII they created fake countries, and dissected up, Kurdistan. Kurdistan was very militant and anybody who ever messed with them got killed. They did not take crap from anybody.

1:16:00 — Brady: They still don’t.

1:16:00 — Colonel: I met in the 1990s most of their leadership. One of them asked me, after I had finished my deployment, to travel to see all the European casinos with him. I turned him down. They are very sweet, personality people but they are deadly lethal at the same time. They have been attacked by Turkey, by Syria, by Iraq and by Iran. And they do hold there own.

But Operation Gladio had Turkish Gladio units dressed up as Kurds attack border cities in Turkey and then they go and use that as a reason to go attack Kurds.

This happened and has happened all over the world.

I think this is so critical a point I am going to take time out from our chronology to say this:


When someone today, tells you that Hamas is doing something? YOU CAN’T BELIEVE THEM! Because number 1, we have probably over a hundred instances of Operation Gladio Units dressing up as somebody else telling you somebody else did something. So if you do not know these people individually and know what their history is. Just because you are shown a picture on a TV, they LIE to you, they have lied to you for over 100 years. Do not take them at their word. — Colonel Towner

1:17:30 — Brady: One of the more recent examples of that is the Maidan Revolution in Ukraine.

— Colonel: ABSOLUTELY

— Brady: Just this week, out of a European court we got admission that a large majority of the people massacred in Maidan Square were actually done by the Ukrainian Nazis forces.

1:18:00 — Colonel: Azov and Right Sector. That is the beauty of researching Operation Gladio. I can give you exact same replica that happened in Greece. Greece pulled off Operation Gladio that is the exact same Operation Gladio that was pulled of in Maidan in Ukraine. Exactly. They make up a thing. They draw everyone into the town square. They have snipers on the buildings. They focus on women and children if there are any. They create the havoc and then change the regime. They overthrew the Greek president. Once you know their operations and you read thru a book of Operation Gladio that has been documented as Operation Gladio, you will never see things the same again.

1:18:55 — Brady: They tried to do that in Egypt just in the last decade and that is what.. The Muslim Brotherhood was trying to take over Egypt and that is why el-Sisi and the Egyptian military created a military dictatorship. And they are very much opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood. And they are a very important player in this story.

1:19:15 — Colonel: You know that Nasser, who was a nationalist, they tried to kill him, because they did not want him taking the Suez canal back from Britain. Britain HATED Nasser. He is the one who re-established Egypt and kicked the Brits out. He got sabotaged, right, left. And I would argue that the 1967 war was waged to get rid of Nasser. [Remember the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty occurred on June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War. — GC] Because what you are going to find out once you really get into this is, Israel is NOT the Israel we think it is.

1:19:50 — Brady: To sort of bring this home, all these operations? There are pretty good estimates that the USA since WWII has performed 73 successful color revolutions coups and probably ten that were not successful that we know about. They use the same playbook over and over again.

1:20:15 – 1:22:15 — Colonel: And that is why I call them Operation Gladio. Color Revolution to me is a made-up word. So we do not focus on what they really are…. If I can find documentation that ties a particular one, like the Maidan revolution in Ukraine to Operation Gladio, and there are documents. Then that is Operation Gladio just like the one that happened in Greece. That was Operation Gladio. And you are absolutely right, they are orchestrated out of a coordination cell housed in NATO. They encompass every single national intel organization. Mossad, CIA, MI6, B&D, The Italian secret intel apparatus, I think it is SPR…. But all those organizations, every country has one. They meet under the auspices of NATO. So lets go full circle back to Wesley Clark.

Wesley Clark was in charge of NATO when the Bosnia shit happened. ALL Operation Gladio. {Brady nods.) SO You can tie – Someone sent a video of him actually saying — and I do not know if this was before or after his NATO assignment. I tend to think it was before but I do not know. — that basically he was on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, when someone showed him a document, that after the 1991 invasion of Iraq, that we were going to take over five other countries. And don’t you know we have done operations at every single one of them.

1:22:15 – — Brady: And we had the Arab Spring, just in the last decade. Make no mistake, Russia’s reaction to the Arab Spring. That is what really caused the divide. Between The Great Russian Reset that Hillary and Obama were talking about earlier in Obama’s tenure. We had Skolkovo Innovation Center known as “Silicon Valley” in Russia with Russia cooperating with US corporate interests that were Clinton Foundation donors. That schism happened because the Arab Spring was too close to Russia’s front Door.

SIDE NOTE ON THE ARAB SPRING:

From my 2014 notes that I updated where possible. Seems the information connecting it to the Fabian Society in Britain got scrubbed.

FABIAN SOCIETY PHAMPHLET, From Dictator to Democracy was spotted in EGYPT by journalists and suggested as a catalyst to the current unrest.

That pamphlet is available as an e-book from the Fabian Society:
Fabian Essays In Socialism:
www.bestebooksworld.com/ebook/16953/

That URL now goes to:

http://www.bookyards.com/book_details.html?ranking=included&book_id=9711

And that URL now comes back as: The Wayback Machine has not archived that URL. 🤔

The Pamphlet is now attributed to the Albert Einstein Institution and all reference to the Fabian Society, except for my 2014 comment have been erased!

Gene Sharp is the author.

WIKI: …. In 1968, he received a Doctor of Philosophy in political theory from 👉Oxford University.👈[12] Funding for Sharp’s research at this time came from the 👉 DARPA project of the US Department of Defense.[15]👈

Sharp was appointed a professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in 1972. He held research appointments at Harvard University‘s Center for International Affairs from 1965.[2] In 1983 he founded Harvard’s Program on Nonviolent Sanctions in Conflict and Defense (PNS), which “continued in the spirit of its founder”[16] and in 1995 was merged with another Harvard organization. In 1983 Sharp also founded the Albert Einstein Institution, a non-profit organization devoted to studies and promotion of the use of nonviolent action in conflicts worldwide…

After Egypt and Libya, What’s Next for Those Still Under Dictatorships?


As journalists have sought to untangle the disparate threads that unite these uprisings, one of the most interesting revelations has been a common reference to a dusty — but still relevant — book, “From Dictatorship to Democracy.” Earlier this month, the New York Times proclaimed its author, Gene Sharp, a “shy intellectual” who had created “the playbook for revolution” — noting that his work was posted on the Muslim Brotherhood website during the Egyptian uprising, and was cited equally among Tunisians, Bosnians and Estonians in their quest for freedom. So far, it has been translated into 41 languages..


So there is the Milner/Fabian Society tie in. What is really interesting is the Milner Mission in Egypt 1919


In May 1919, Lord Milner was appointed to head a mission to investigate how Egypt could be granted “self-governing institutions” while maintaining the protectorate and safeguarding British interests. The mission arrived in Egypt in December 1919 but was boycotted by the nationalists, who opposed the continuation of the protectorate.


And yes that is the SAME Milner that developed the ‘Round Tables’ like the Council on Foreign Relations. And was part of the The Balfour Declaration of 1917

….“the acceptance by the Allied Powers and the United States of the policy of the Balfour Declaration made it clear from the beginning that Palestine would have to be treated differently”—that is, the Palestinians could not be permitted independence or democratic governance.[60]

This rejection of the Arabs’ right to self-determination was succinctly expressed by Lord Alfred Milner, who told the House of Lords on June 27, 1923, that since Palestine was sacred also to Jews and Christians, “the future of Palestine cannot possibly be left to be determined by the temporary impressions and feelings of the Arab majority in the country of the present day.”

1:22:50 — Colonel: Well I think they were using all of those things to entice Putin. I think they thought they could buy Putin. I think they thought if they Westernized Russia enough, with the Skolkovo thing and the Uranium thing. I honestly think they thought they could buy him. When they figured out they could not buy him, they turned on him.

— Brady: The Primakov doctrine I mentioned earlier is worth mentioning here in closing. Primakov was a very influential Russian politician in the late 1990s and for another decade or so. He had three really important students. One of them was Putin, One was their brilliant Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and the third one is Sergey Glazyev, who runs the Russian central bank. These are people worth reading because they do not like the European Central Bank model what so ever. They understand that it has created a global monetary hegemony. Russia’s survival relies on getting away from the Anglo-American Rules Based Order and the global dollar hegemony.

That was written 22 years ago. Putin’s foreign policy has followed the Primakov Doctrine to a Tee ever since. There are three main pillars of the Primakov Doctrine. The first one is getting away from the dollar. Getting off the dollar based system, the international Bank of Settlements, the International Monetary Fund. [GEE, Seems Biden’s sanctions really helped there! – GC] We are seeing that accomplished.

I am an American patriot, just like you. I do not want to see the USA weakened. But we have used the dollar, not for the betterment of the world. We have used it to bully, this banking system, to bully other countries. This ties into ALL OF IT. It is not just a CIA operation. There are other branches of the government involved.

Read:

Primakov Doctrine and Russia’s Multipolar World

1:24:50 — Colonel: Oh Absolutely. I want to make one last point.

When we talked about the refugee situation, one of the casualties of that is Human Trafficking and Child Trafficking. If anyone wants to do any research on tying Gladio to that particular topic? I suggest you start in Belgium. Belgium not only has a very robust operation Gladio network, but I want to give you the name of Marc Dutroux. That guy set-up the most hideous Child Trafficking Network, using refugees, to blackmail all of the foreign dignitaries, once NATO moved to Belgium. It is all reported.

The Revelations of WikiLeaks: No. 4—The Haunting Case of a Belgian Child Killer and How WikiLeaks Helped Crack It

I also want [to say] in closing, that as you explore this topic, you will see, and I saw it personally when I lived in Italy. In one bomb attack they killed five judges. Initially they killed every investigative reporter. — In Turkey and in Italy and Portugal, in Germany, — If you wrote about Operation Gladio before it broke big in Italy? YOU DIE! If you were part of government and investigated it? YOU DIE. If you try to litigate as a judge. YOU DIE!

There has been so much death and destruction related to Operation Gladio and the exposure of it, that it’s breathtaking. I have never seen anything like it. The depravity is best illustrated when you look at Belgium’s Operation Gladio Network because it is so disgusting.

You have to have all those facets. You have to have Money Laundering. You have to have the Drug [Trafficking.] You have to have the war… And it is all used to feed a global fascist takeover. By us focusing on the WEF and other low hanging fruit you miss the big picture and that is on purpose.

— Brady: The decisions made in the smoke filled rooms in London and NYC, and a little bit in DC as well as a few other major European capitols. These are the names we do not get to know very often. The people that sit on the Council on Foreign Relations are not necessarily the people that sit at the head of the table. They are NOT the Puppet Masters. We know who some of the names are but I do not think we will know all of them. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Shadow State, this is who rules the world.

KMAG 20250312 Daily Thread and GLADIO, BANKSTERS & MERCANTILISTS

Before I get into the meat of this controversial subject, I want to cover a bit of background. …. The three topics are, Oligarchs, Propaganda, and Astroturf Terrorism. Since those three are critical to understanding our current situation, I am going to make this a stand alone article.

OLIGARCHS


This author has a very good definition which applies nicely to the Banksters and Mercantilists. He is correct, together they form the oligarchs who are intent on controlling the world.


The Parasite Class

An oligarch is someone who has amassed immense wealth and converted it into political and social authority…

The question is how does one become an oligarch? The suggestion is that some achieve oligarch status due to their shrewd business acumen. Many people are astute in business but that alone is not enough to rise to the oligarchy.👉In order to be an oligarch you have to be accepted by the other oligarchs. If oligarchs oppose you, your business will probably be crushed, or at least severely restricted, and access to political authority or social influence will be stifled…👈

PROPAGANDA


“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”
William J. Casey, CIA Director.

This quote was originally spoken by Casey sometime in early February of 1981, at a meeting in the Roosevelt Room in the West Wing of the White House, at which the White House policy analyst Barbara Honegger was present (who was then acting as Assistant to the chief domestic policy adviser to the President). She then relayed it to her Godmother, the Senior White House Correspondent Sarah McClendon, who made the quote public without naming the original source, through the Radio host Mae Brussel. — LINK


The primary tool that the Cabal (oligarchs) use against us is propaganda. This is why the EU and WEF are pushing so hard to clamp down on the truth and to get censorship re-installed in the USA and around the world.

In the USA, once the Central Bank was in place in 1913 the Cabal took over the media.

“In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, ship building and powder interests and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press in the United States.

Obama took it a step further.

Obama repealed this 1948 act so he could flood our media with endless propaganda


…Obama might have slithered out of the White House without a flashy “legacy” tag, but he sure did leave a mess. It’s as if he was the Dems and Deep State’s MVP, playing a long game we’re still trying to wrap our heads around. He wasn’t just about making policy changes; he was on a mission to infiltrate every corner of our sacred institutions and flip them inside out for his—and their—advantage. Just look what he did by weaponizing the intel community, churches, health care, and so much more… back in 2013, he made a move to ditch the Smith-Mundt Act, basically rolling out the red carpet for propaganda in our national media. This wasn’t just a small change; it was a game changer for how stories are told and sold to us to this day…

Limited Hangouts

This is an absolutely critical concept because it is used to derail the curious.

Every patriot should be reading “Destroying America: The CIA’s Quest to Control the Government.”

After reading that, I realized that it was very similar to Willing Accomplices: How KGB Covert Influence Agents Created Political Correctness and Destroyed America by former?? CIA Agent Kent Clizbe. Kent connected with me via Tony Heller’s site and gave me a free PDF of his draft over ten years ago. He even gave me his phone number! 🤔

In both cases our focus is directed towards the communists and NOT the Brits Fabian Society. Colonel Towner mentions the CIA uses the communists as their ‘Boogeyman’ in order to justify their regime change coups. The coups are NOT about ‘democracy’ but about helping the Transnational corporations, her ‘International Syndicate,’ acquire raw materials and cheap labor.

Whether these men know it or not they are purveyors of the type of propaganda called a ‘Limited Hang-out’

Piercing the Veil of Limited Hangouts: Know How to Spot Controlled Opposition

The best weapon you can have in the Second American Revolution is the ability to think clearly and critically. The Deep State has been working hard to keep Americans from real truth–from the inside job of 9-11, to the human trafficking and blackmail operations that keep our elected officials in tow, to the U.S. Patent Office theft of hundreds of patents from social media to free energy. What many people do not know is that it is legal to propagandize and terrorize Americans thanks to the NDAA…

One area of propaganda that you may not be aware of is something called controlled opposition, also known as limited or partial hangouts.

Wikipedia defines these as:

A limited hangout or partial hangout is, according to former special assistant to the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Victor Marchetti, “spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further.”…


False Flags are Legal Propaganda

This article originally appeared on State of the Nation as False Flags are Legal Propaganda by the Department of Defense on January 18, 2016.

….This question would go through our minds every time we would see a new false flag event plastered all over the media. Like many of you, we would think, “It has to be real, otherwise the government and participants would be engaging in treason.” But the narrative and the evidence never seem to match up.

…It even seemed that the “official story” that was “fed” to the news agencies was filled with holes on purpose. When 450 responders showed up in San Bernardino, including FEMA, ATF, Homeland Security, FBI, DoD, and all local agencies, within 14 minutes and had their lawn chairs and coolers set up while most of them walked around aimlessly with no worries in the world, we couldn’t take it anymore. We had always known that “false flags” usually precede severe military action and we couldn’t really imagine military action within US domestic borders since the military is not empowered to act against its own citizens.

Therefore, we decided to WAKE UP and study the false flag phenomena. Don’t presume to think this is just another conspiracy theory article. What you will read will chill you to the bone. We know this is a long article, but while you were sleeping much has been done to destroy your country. You need to see the immense work that is being done behind your back…


Astroturf Terrorism


‘Strategy of Tension’
It is important to understand this concept. The world we live in today operates on a strategy of tension. Most people do not know enough history to realize that if you look at a world map of 1910 and you look at a world map of 1950 there are a lot of ‘made-up countries’ that did not exist in 1910.
— Colonel Towner

Colonel Towner goes on to say that after WWII when the maps of Europe and the Middle East were redrawn, incompatible groups were placed together in one country. This guaranteed conflicts within a country could easily be ignited.


9/28/2008 — Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis

….The Cloward-Piven Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis

In an earlier post, I noted the liberal record of unmitigated legislative disasters, the latest of which is now being played out in the financial markets before our eyes. Before the 1994 Republican takeover, Democrats had sixty years of virtually unbroken power in Congress – with substantial majorities most of the time. Can a group of smart people, studying issue after issue for years on end, with virtually unlimited resources at their command, not come up with a single policy that works? Why are they chronically incapable?

Why?

One of two things must be true. Either the Democrats are unfathomable idiots, who ignorantly pursue ever more destructive policies despite decades of contrary evidence, or they understand the consequences of their actions and relentlessly carry on anyway because they somehow benefit….

I have already introduced Colonel Towner and Operation Gladio to the Qtree in other articles, this is another author who documents how Operation Gladio was revealed:

Operation Gladio – Hard Evidence of Government Sponsored False Flag Terrorism.

By Ian Davis.

Operation Gladio was formally revealed in 1990 by the Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti in an official statement to the Italian parliament. By then, Gladio had already been exposed in the courts and elsewhere, but Andreotti’s ‘official’ revelations widely exposed the unpalatable reality. Italian investigations, into the ‘Years of Lead‘, revealed NATO’s hand in a series of terrorist atrocities that had taken place in Italy throughout the 1950s to the 1980s. These included bombings, assassinations, kidnappings and mass shootings by terrorist organisations. There is no doubt that elements within the NATO deep state were routinely using false flag terrorism to control and manipulate public opinion and shape policy.

This is not the speculation of ‘looney conspiracy theorists,’ it is proven, well documented historical fact…

Following the end of WWII, both the U.S. and British intelligence agencies…

The co-option of Nazi technological and scientific expertise was enabled through Operation Paperclip. Top Nazi scientists, intelligence operatives, engineers and military strategists were either protected from prosecution or resettled in the U.S. and elsewhere. Authorised by President Truman in 1946, who stipulated that no committed National Socialists should be co-opted, the secret operation nonetheless supported many fervent Nazis….

Valierie pointed to this Book: “Destroying America: The CIA’s Quest to Control the Government.”

DESTROYING AMERICA: The CIA’s Quest to Control the Government – Book Review

Meticulously sourced and rife with documentation from beginning to end, DESTROYING AMERICA details the CIA’s quest to control the government and shows how one Presidential Administration after another supported the egregious corruption in the CIA and government. It shows how Members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, are intricately involved in CIA corruption.

CIA officers and CIA “assets” have been targeted for the Presidency in Presidential races from 1964 to 2016, and there have been CIA officers in Congress since the earlyi950s.

Over the years, CIA officers in Congress have risen through the ranks to become some of the most powerful and influential members of Congress. They have ranged across the political spectrum from the far left to the far right…


An interesting side note based on information that Colonel Towner brought up. Obama’s mother worked for USAID. The CIA funded foreign students that they radicalized and used as part of their Werewolf Units in their home countries. Now think of Barack Obama, Sr. and Lolo Soetoro. BOTH were subversives. SEE: 2010

The Story of Obama: All in the Company

DEAR KMAG 20250305 USS LIBERTY & DAILY THREAD

The USS Liberty

Colonel Towner has mentioned on more than one occasion that God is guiding her. If she’s speaking and she comes to a dead end, someone in her audience pipes up with “Have you read…” and she is off and running again. The same has happened to me. I was wondering how I was going to move forward on the Mercantilism theme and pull a lot of threads together.

I have only listened to half a dozen or so of the 40-plus Gladio videos by Colonel Towner and Alpha Warrior. It is a daunting task to catch up, especially if I am going to transcribe at least a few parts of them. Yesterday my curiosity bone got the better of me, and I skipped ahead and listened to the first USAID video. Towards the end Colonel Towner said she would be covering Benghazi, and I thought she meant USAID Part II. So I skipped around listening to parts of the video looking for the Benghazi section, and landed in a spot where she mentioned she would be interviewing a survivor of the USS Liberty. I already knew something about the USS Liberty. With curiosity driving me and a bit more hunting I found The Colonel’s Corner Rumble Channel. I was so angry after listening to the first minutes, I posted a few bits to Sunday’s Dear MAGA: 20250302 Open Topic

Wolfie responded with:
Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy(@wolfmoon1776) LINK

I still don’t buy that [prisoner murders] as being the reason for the attack on the Liberty. It’s too small-potatoes. IMO that rationale is post-failure disinformation from both Mossad and the USG, meant to muddy the waters. One of many bogus reasons that were floated.

IMO there was a concocted plot by Johnson (who was truly evil) and elements in Israel who wanted America to enter the war [THAT is the kind of reason they needed – like 9/11] and thought that an attack on am American ship would be just the thing he needed to get us in. The attack failed to take out the radio, and the betrayal of our own troops by Johnson failed.

IMO Johnson and his bad actors and allies were behind all the assassinations and false flags like Gulf of Tonkin.

Thus, I simply can’t blame the Israeli government, when our own was involved, too – and was arguably WORSE. AND – at the same time – none of this justifies the Palestinians, the Arab attackers, the terrorists, or the attack on Israel.

Johnson was an evil POS, who would gladly sacrifice a boat of innocent men for politics. FUCK HIM and everybody who plotted with him – American and Israeli.

These people have not quit, and they will not quit. I lay both 9/11 and Ukraine (WWIII, if they can get it) at their feet.

Wolfie was correct I got taken-in by the Prisoner massacre Limited Hang-out although Colonel Towner does mention it towards the end as one of the reasons. I had heard about the massacre several weeks prior to listening to the video. After reflecting on the entire video, and hearing Phil Tourney’s plea that the TRUE story be told, I decided to write this article.

If you want the short and sweet version of WHY the attack on the USS Liberty:


Israel’s dirty trade in Africa: Diamonds, weapons and settlements
by Hassan Al-Assi


Israel is considered one of the most important countries that import rough diamonds, and the most prominent countries that export polished diamonds. Most of these diamonds come from African countries such as South Africa, Liberia, Congo, Ivory Coast amongst others. These countries are directly linked to groups committing massacres against civilians in order to obtain diamonds, and trade with these diamonds leads to the death of tens of thousands of people annually in the countries of origin. The sale and export of these diamonds are linked to major arms deals, the creation of civil wars and financing the fighting groups. This has caused the diamond trade in Africa to be called the dirty trade, the jewels are called “blood diamonds” because the blood of thousands of Africans is shed in order to extract and market them…


This is from a UK publication with a decidedly Muslim slant. Therefore we have to see if there is supporting evidence.


From WIKI:

The diamond industry of Israel is an important world player in producing cut diamonds for wholesale. In 2010, Israel became the chair of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme.[1] As of 2016, cut diamonds constituted 23.2% of Israel’s total exports and they were the country’s biggest export product, amounting to 12% of the world’s production.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

First, I urge everyone to actually listen to what this man has to say. (1hr 11 minutes)

I do not have the time to write a full transcript so a few key points… DARN IT! Oh well I got sucked in and did more of a transcript than I planned. So, as usual, I am going to split the material into two articles.


Very Rough Transcript. I am not going to put it in quotes.

3 minutes to 12 minutes: Colonel Towner mentions Lyman Lemnitzer, commander of the United Nations forces in the Korean War (1955–57.) He was Kennedy’s Joint Chief of Staff from 1960 to 1962. Kennedy wanted to get rid of him, but instead of firing the SOB, Kennedy, not knowing what NATO was up to, sent him to serve as the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe of NATO from 1963 to 1969. THIS IS WHILE NATO assassins were deployed to Texas. [He was one NASTY piece of work! GC]

Towner explains that de Gaulle and Kennedy were trying to oust the UK from Africa where the UK and Israel were stealing all the diamonds. Egypt and the Suez Canal were the buffer protecting Israel from retaliation by Africa. Egypt was under British control from 1882 to 1922. When Egypt gained independence, Nasser took control of the Suez Canal FROM the UK. So the UK moved to the Port of Aden in Yemen. Yemen is STILL fighting a two-front war today. Towner then goes into how the CIA was spying on the communication of most countries including Egypt. Therefore they KNEW Egypt was sending troops to help Yemen just prior to this travesty.

15 mins – Phil Tourney said Israel got antsy and started the war early, that is why we took off as quick as we did. The rest of the crew and I figured this was planned out probably a year in advance. We were set-up by our own government. We were going into a war zone and asked for destroyer escort twice and were denied by NoName’s Father,  Admiral John Sidney McCain Jr.

16 mins – Col Towner interrupts and say this is typical of the CIA & US Navy. They did the same thing to the USS Indianapolis in the pacific during WW II when they took the warheads over there. They left them without an escort KNOWING the subs were going to get them and then court-martialed the surviving Captain. The Navy is one of the most cruel ass… that has ever existed! … Phil’s story is NOT an isolated incident. This is why history is so important.

17 mins – Phil: We were 12.5 miles off the coast of the Sinai. (June 6th) We were ALWAYS in international waters. June 7th we see Israeli DC3s. We saw & waved at the pilots & they waved at us. Saw them on the 8th They were taking pictures of us. We only had four 50 caliber machine guns. We picked up messages that Israel KNEW we were an American Ship. We had a brand new flag and the ship had just been refurbished so it had a newly painted name.

21 mins – Phil Tourney starts describing the attack… You cannot imagine what they did to us. Rockets, cannons, napalm, machine guns… every [operational] antenna they hit on the first pass. Within 3 seconds every antenna and every water tight door above the water line was destroyed. One antenna that was out of commission was not destroyed. The air attack lasted for 25 minutes. They used unmarked black planes. [French made.] At least 12 planes and 30 sorties. On the first pass they shot down the US flag. Sailors put up another brand new one. Shot that down. Put up HUGE holiday flag that stayed up. During those 25 minutes the ship got a message out by repairing the last antenna.

25 mins — Col Towner points out that those sailors went out while those planes were raining fire to put up a flag so it was a KNOWN attack on an American ship in international waters. THIS IS CRITICAL TO THE STORY. [She explains the Flag is very important because it means you cannot call it a mistaken ID -GC]

26 min Phil: Our radio message was picked up as far away as Vietnam. The 6th Fleet picked it up. Captain Tully of the USS Saratoga immediately launched aircraft to come to our aid. They were called back by [US Secretary of Defense] Robert McNamara. A few minutes later Captain Tully & Captain Ingen of the USS America went to launched planes again. Before they could get underway, President Johnson got on the air and said RECALL THOSE GOD DAMN PLANES, I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT A FEW DEAD SAILORS, I WILL NOT EMBARRASS MY ALLY!

Phil: So how did he know who was attacking us if WE DID NOT KNOW?


So that right there tells you we were set up to be sunk by the Zionist State in order to bring us into WW III.

29 mins — Colonel Towner points out that the USS Liberty’s actual mission was to spy on the African countries trying to free themselves from the US and European piranhas. The sacrifice of the USS Liberty was about setting up a regime change in Egypt and destroying the evidence of the spying.

30 mins – Phil: The Aircraft attack was followed by an attack by 3 torpedo boats with the Star of David. The boats fired five torpedoes from 1000, 800 yards away. Two went aft, one hit the communication spaces, don’t know where the others went. Colonel Towner suggests it was to get rid of evidence. The attack went on for another hour and a half. The total attack lasted 2 hours. Help was only 40 minutes away but the US government would not allow help. They left us for 17 hours. The USS America and the destroyer USS David finally showed up…. We had 34 dead and 174 wounded….

34 min — Phil: The Israeli torpedo boats continuously circled the ship, firing 50-caliber machine guns and armor-piercing rounds into us. We thought we were going to sink. We put the most seriously wounded into the three life rafts we had left. The Israelis shot two of them out of the water and took the last on board their boat as a trophy of their kill. [REMEMBER THOSE BOATS WOULD HAVE THE NAME AND USA DESIGNATION PRINTED ON IT!!! SEE: 46 CFR § 199.176 – Markings on lifesaving appliances. current — GC]

Also lifeboats are protected and the Israelis DAMN WELL KNEW IT!

Convention (II) for the Amelioration of the Condition of Wounded, Sick and Shipwrecked Members of Armed Forces at Sea. Geneva, 12 August 1949.

A. Introduction

2149  The protection of ‘small craft employed … for coastal rescue operations’ is not surprising, because they have long rendered assistance to those in distress at sea, whether civilians or wounded, sick or shipwrecked persons protected under the applicable provisions of international humanitarian law. In numerous States, rescue craft were, and continue to be, operated by coastal municipalities, private associations, individual volunteers or State organs, whether the armed forces or other governmental institutions. The vessels employed for life-saving purposes range from rowing and rubber boats to technologically sophisticated craft that can operate far off the coast and in difficult sea conditions…..

a. Additional Protocol I

2168  While Article 22(3) of Additional Protocol I does not modify the substantive protection afforded to coastal rescue craft, it removes an important procedural requirement of the Second Convention, by providing that:

Small craft described in Article 27 of the Second Convention shall be protected even if the notification envisaged by that Article 27 has not been made. The Parties to the conflict are, nevertheless, invited to inform each other of any details of such craft which will facilitate their identification and recognition….


They wanted NO SURVIVORS.
It was the grace of God, the Hand of God that kept that ship up. We were just his servants that day. He deserves all the credit. Jesus Christ does. He kept us alive for moments like this. To tell the truth. — Phil Tourney


36 min — Colonel Towner makes clear that command knew that the USS Liberty was under attack. She says that within 5 minutes of the attack, via relays, London, Spain (where the ship was launched from), the Secretary of Defense’s office, the White House, CIA, NSA… would ALL KNOW that the USS Liberty was under attack, AND FOR SEVENTEEN HOURS THE US GOVERNMENT DID NOT DO A FUCKING THING TO HELP THEM!

37:30 Phil: Two days after the attack we were headed to Malta which is 1,000 miles away. We have a 40X40 torpedo hole in our side. The closest port was Crete [~400 miles or less – GC]. We never could figure that one out.

Flag admiral Isaac Kidd & his Jag officer came on board and interrogated what crew was left aboard the ship….

[Side Note: “Kidd was Supreme Allied Commander of NATO‘s Atlantic Fleet. In 1967, he was chosen by his friend and colleague Admiral John S. McCain Jr. to head the Naval Court of Inquiry into the USS Liberty incident during the Six-Day War in June of that year ” – WIKI]

We are in sick bay, he takes off his stars and tosses them on the table. He says I know you guys have been thru hell but I have got to get this while it is fresh in your mind. Tell me everything that happened…. Then he said, I am putting my stars back on. I had asked him, “Admiral how come you did not send help?”…

He puts his stars back on and said:

I am going to tell every one of you Sons of Bitches. And he got right in my face. If you ever breath a word about what you just told me, any of you, I will make sure you end up in prison or worse!! Do you know what WORSE MEANS? [Phil explains it means DEAD. -GC]

Yes sir I do…. I didn’t talk of it for 18 years.

I had to sign an agreement I would never sue Israel or the USA and they gave me $200 bucks for my signature and said SIGN IT!

42 Min — Colonel Towner tells why they were sent to Malta instead of Crete. Crete is part of Greece. Greece is part of NATO and NATO is who attacked you guys. You would have talked to Greek citizens and all of this would have been exposed. Malta has always been used since WWII to hide their criminally. Because it is isolated everything around you was controlled. No one was allowed access that was not a part of the scheme. That could not have happened in Crete. Phil agrees.

We were there for 33 days. Lists damage. There was NO [REAL] investigation. By orders of John McCain & LBJ it was called mistaken identity…. Every one from LBJ to Trump has bought that crap….

We were sent there to be sunk by Israel so they could blame it on Nasser and Egypt. And Israel would have taken over the entire Middle East. The land grab they are doing now would have happened then.

46 min — Col Towner Holds up book Operation Cyanide [2003 by British journalist Peter Hounam] He documents the B-52s sitting on the tarmac being given the ready mission to start their engines to fly. This was BEFORE the first bombing [of the USS Liberty] ….

Phil: If you write congress be ready to be lied to… they never investigated…

As Thomas Massie said Everybody’s got an AIPAC handler and I guess they had them back then too….


Phil is correct. American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs was founded in 1951 It later changed it’s name to American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] Source Watch:

49 min — Col Towner. So that brings us to the last point. During the last five years there have been three instances revealed. The Ross Setter massacre that happened on June 8th of 1967. The Mass grave on the West Bank, which Israel turned into a national park. Another mass grave was discover on 5 June, which would have been part of the 6 day war. And the E-L-E-L-A-R-I-S-H massacre. That one happened… where the USS Liberty was. They were sailing in Egyptian international water right north of this town El Arish. This is where the Israelis murdered prisoners of war and buried them…. So during the course of their surveillance of this war zone Mass Murder by the IDF was happening along the coast.

This is not isolated. It was just like we did in Vietnam, in Nicaragua, in Guatemala. The USA has done this as well. We have buried people in mass graves. It happened in Cambodia. The CIA unleashed terrorists that resulted in casualties that resulted in mass graves. This is what Israel was participating in and it is my summation that because of the SIGINET, the advanced capability, all that information would have been picked up by the linguist and transmitted.

THIS IS CRITICAL. There would be no denying that the USA and all of NATO knew the atrocities that Israel was committing and the USS Translators, not the crew were instantly murdered when that torpedo hit that boat. They would be the sole surviving people who could attest to those atrocities….

Who benefited from it?

Israel ended up with All of Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula. They go to war again in 73 and then they have a peace settlement in 1979. The massacre in the Golan Heights happened right after the USS Liberty was taken out. That is not unlike what just happened with the Hamas Attack on Israel on October 7. It was not an immediate response to Gaza, just like for Israel, it was not an immediate attack in response. Well they did the initial attack in Egypt, but they did it at the same time all over. They’re conquering all of the surrounding area.

That is what it is ALWAYS ABOUT. It is a DIVERSION OVER HERE to go over here.

[What Col Towner is talking about is an incident in one middle east country is then used to attack several others. We just saw this with Gaza, the attacks spread to Iran, Jordan, Syria and Yemen. When everything is over, Israel will end up expanding into more areas. LINK – GC]

You have to understand they have an ultimate goal. Any one who is in the way of that ultimate goal is fair game for being killed.

54 min — Phil: We were sacrificial lambs, the soldiers were sacrificial lambs and the goal was a land grab…. Our goal is to tell the truth…. They got paid MORE MONEY BY THE UNITED STATES then they ever did in their existence FOR MURDERING AMERICAN SERVICEMEN on the high seas doing what their government had ordered them to do.

Talk about this is the first time they are able to get the word out and this is not the first betrayal. The press never helped us, the government never helped us, Congress never helped us. No one came to help us.

IN FACT THE AMERICAN LEGION? We had 2 men there… 5 or 6 years ago. [to set-up] a booth handing out our stuff about the USS Liberty. They would not let us have a booth. We sent a $1,000 for the booth. They said they never got the check. So we said OK we will pay cash or credit card… Then they said NO!! YOU CANNOT HAVE ONE!

56:30 Col Towner: The American Legion is notorious for being part of the collusion of the CIA to STIFLE VETERANS ISSUES.

Phil : Absolutely. Glenn… tore his American Legion Card up and sprinkled it on a woman’s chest, her boobs. He did not throw it at her. So they arrested him for assault and put him in jail. He still has it on his record. The USS Liberty is BANNED from ever attending any of their meetings….

Col Towner: Let me ask you something that was in Peter’s [Hounam] book. He documents the fact that a USS submarine was basically shadowing you guys and that there was also a Russian submarine that watched the torpedo portion of this. And I have read other accounts of this that they gave up the final attack on sinking the USS Liberty because now there were other witnesses.

58:20 Phil: that could very well be so. The USS Amberjack, [Gato-class submarine – GC] we heard filmed it. And the USS Andrew Jackson [Lafayette-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine – GC] was there also. And as you mentioned a Russian submarine that was ready to hit Israel, only minutes away if everything went as planned. They were going to Nuke Israel for what they were doing to Egypt. Us not sinking put a wrench in their plans. I bet they are still scratching their heads…

59 min — Col Towner: I have done a lot of research into Gladio and Gladio being basically regime change overthrow with over 90 of them successful since WWII. Over 400 of them attempted.

What you always find looming in the background, like when we were trying to do it in Algeria and several Eastern European countries immediately after WWII. The Soviet Union had spies everywhere and they were able to thwart most of it… The story of the Russian sub, after knowing what I know about the Soviet Union always seeming to be one step ahead in protection … When I read about the Russian sub, I thought “Well that is interesting,” because I wonder if they were actually there because they knew what NATO was going to do to the USS Liberty and if they would have used it for blackmail. If the Liberty had sunk, they would forever have had the ability to control a whole bunch of different things, They would have had blackmail material. And maybe they used it anyway because they KNEW WHERE IT ORIGINATED FROM.

1hr 1 min — Phil: Absolutely. They knew exactly what was going on. Russia is not stupid….

A bit more about the USS Liberty.

Why a BBC documentary while Americans are kept in the dark?🤔

“USS Liberty: Dead In The Water” (1 hr BBC Documentary 2002)

OPERATION CYANIDE – An Israeli-American False Flag Operation Aimed At Egypt

…Jets armed with nuclear bombs were actually scrambled from the carrier USS America with orders to nuke Cairo.  Once Defense Secretary McNamara and Lying Bastard Johnson realized that the Liberty had not sunk, and that U.S. eyewitnesses were not only alive, but were actually communicating with other American ships, the U.S. jets carrying the nukes were recalled to their carrier by direct orders from McNamara and Johnson….

The Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty — Paul Craig Roberts

After reading this I now understand why Dr Roberts has no love of Israel.

This article is based entirely on documented sources and on interviews with six USS Liberty survivors, as well as Captain Ward Boston and Bill Knutson, the executive officer of the USS America fighter squadron dispatched on the first aborted rescue mission.

For a number of years Admiral Thomas Moorer, former Chief of Naval Operations and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was my colleague at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Tom… expressed to me his concern that US politics and foreign policy was in the clutches of Israel and that America was being led into war with the Arab Middle East. Admiral Moorer and the State Department and Pentagon at that time did not think that war with the Arab countries served the interests of the United States. However, Admiral Moorer thought that the war could not be avoided because of the hold Israel has over the US government.

What convinced him of this was Washington’s cover-up of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty which resulted in 208 killed and wounded Americans. Tom was disheartened that Admiral John S. McCain Jr…. for career reasons had cooperated with the cover-up. Tom worried that careerism had destroyed the integrity of the US military…

I had already seen that Admiral Moorer’s prediction that Israel would have us in war against the Arabs had come true. I still hear his bitter statement that “no American president can stand up to Israel.” Tom was deeply wounded by the betrayal of the US Navy by the Commander-in-Chief. The Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff was powerless before the Israel Lobby.…

The US government’s official position on the USS Liberty corresponds with Israel’s: The attack was unintentional and a result of Israeli blunders. This is the official position despite the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Assistant Secretary of State Lucius Battle, and a long list of US Navy officers, government officials and Liberty survivors are on record saying the Israeli attack was intentional…

Survivors with whom I spoke said the attack was the easy part of the experience. The hard part has been living with 40 years of official cover-up and betrayal by the US government. One survivor said that he was asked to leave his Baptist church when he spoke about the Liberty, because the minister and fellow church-goers felt more loyalty to Israel than to a member of the congregation who had served his country. His church’s position was that if our government believed Israel, the survivors should also….

A State Secret: The Closest the U.S. Ever Came to a Nuclear Confrontation: June 8, 1967

…on June 8, 1967 two A-4 bomber aircraft loaded with nuclear bombs were dispatched from the aircraft carrier USS America, bound for Cairo with orders to drop those bombs on that city.[1]…

…According to Mike Ratigan, who served on board that carrier as a center-deck catapult operator responsible for maintaining the catapult in working order. He remembered the call to general quarters (battle stations) in the early afternoon of June 8, 1967, later learning that this was due to the attack on the Liberty. The A-4 bombers were each fitted with two bombs having a gold-colored tip, a type that he had never seen before: “I’d never seen that particular type of ordnance, and as we had gone into Condition November (notice of imminent nuclear war) subsequent to being in general quarters, it was definitely not a drill. Marine guards were escorting the A-4, and that was a very unusual experience. I’d never seen anything like that in the four years that I was in the Navy as a Cat operator.”….
