I was going to write about NGOs, but the info in Monday’s comments changed my mind. Given the situation I will write about NGOs next week instead. I was going to add them but it doubled the length of the article.

It’s quite literally a color revolution. The democracy playbook people like Norm Eisen or Gene Sharp don’t like breaking it out into explicit stages because it implies that color revolutions aren’t organic. So I had to assemble it from scratch using their own writings. Here are the steps, and they’re trying to do Step 6:

I wrote that thinking ofGuatemala’s overthrow by the CIA at the request of United Fruit and IranContra. Also based on the information from Colonel Towner.
Stalin denial is as bad a look at Holocaust denial. Maybe worse!
Not saying these oligarchs are good guys. But the Castro regime – way worse, IMO.
Street scene, Havana. Arien Chang Castán
Actually I have not thought much about Cuba except for the Cuban mathematician I worked with, Baby Castro installed in British controlled Canada, and the CIA proposed False Flag using Cubans that probably got JFK killed.
One question is: Were the Brits involved with installing Castro?
Let’s start with the origin of communism.
I will go with Promethean Action’s take. You can trace it back to the British Empire/globalist cartel.
…Richard Poe, among other researchers, identifies the hand behind these actions as the British, courtesy of MI6 and
GCHQ, who have all the skills. The British oligarchy, the City of London, in bed with their secret services, have been, he believes, for two centuries and counting seeding revolution and chaos in every country, in order to maintain their dominance of the financial markets. The British,
he says, created the Muslim Brotherhood and the jihadi movement in order to profit off war and oil in the Mideast. All that money western nations send to the ME is harvested by the globalist gang. The Ukraine war, too, is yet another attempt of the British to destroy Russia, something they have been doing for centuries, and of course and always to loot America’s public funds. Little wonder “the Anglo-Saxon” is the term used to delineate evil in Russia. Yes, of course elements of the Jewish community are all in, and of course it is coordinated across all intelligence agencies most importantly, the CIA. But the British invented it. They are the GOAT….
The Untold Story of Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky, MI6, and the Russian Revolution
Greedy for power and Persian oil fields, King George V of England (right) plotted the overthrow of his cousin Tsar Nicholas II (left).
SUMMARY: Was the Bolshevik Revolution fake? Was Lenin’s 1917 coup little more than a “color revolution,” a staged event, orchestrated by foreign intelligence services? Strong evidence suggests that it was. In the 1920s, prominent Russian exiles accused Great Britain of plotting the Tsar’s downfall. George Buchanan, British ambassador to Russia from 1910 to 1918, devoted 16 pages of his 1923 memoir to denying this charge. But the charge was true. The British secret services had destabilized Russia, just as they had previously destabilized France in 1789. They had infiltrated and weaponized the Bolsheviks, just as they had previously weaponized the Jacobin movement against Louis XVI. While the Tsar was technically Britain’s ally in World War I, British elites feared that a victorious Russia would threaten Britain’s global dominance. Bolshevism provided the solution, demolishing the Tsar’s once-mighty empire, and plunging Russia into chaos and civil war. — RICHARD POE
“THIS MOVEMENT among the Jews is not new,” wrote Winston Churchill. “From the days of … Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky… this worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation… has been steadily growing.”1
Churchill was talking about communism.
It was February 8, 1920. As Churchill wrote, all eyes were on Russia, where Bolsheviks and anti-Bolsheviks— “Reds” and “Whites”—were battling for control of the country.
Before it was over, some 10 million people would die in the Russian Civil War, mostly civilians, and mostly from disease, famine, and mass atrocities on both sides. From this slaughter, the world’s first communist state would emerge.2
Churchill blamed it all on a “worldwide conspiracy” of Jews.
In a full-page article in London’s Illustrated Sunday Herald, Churchill wrote: “There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews. … [T]he majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders. … Litvinoff… Trotsky… Zinoviev… Radek—all Jews.”
Churchill declared that the subversive role of “Jewish revolutionaries… in proportion to their number in the population” was “astonishing,” not only in Russia, but throughout Europe…
From Winston Churchill to the Rolling Stones, Cuba has hosted its fair share of famous Britons over the years. But the first official royal visit by the Prince of Wales and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall in 2019 heralds an important shift in Her Majesty’s Government’s longstanding policy towards the island.
Until recently, little had changed since 1898, when the US intervened to end Spanish colonial rule in Cuba and Britain largely surrendered to growing US dominance in the Caribbean sphere. But Britain’s soft power play today indicates an alignment with Barack Obama’s 2014 diplomatic re-engagement with the island, rather than Donald Trump’s rolling back of this initiative. Obama judged the 54-year-long US trade blockade a failure, and ordered the unfreezing of Cold War-era policy….
With other Western countries exploiting economic openings in Cuba – and Britain keen to compete with them more openly – does only Trump’s administration stand in the way?…
An analysis of Cuba’s history from a British diplomatic perspective during the period of US political and economic domination, from 1898 to 1964. It investigates how Britain attempted to protect its trade and other interests in the island, whilst always sensitive to the reactions of its most important ally, the United States.

One question. Cuba is a small (42,800 sq mi, about the size of VA) supposedly impoverished island. WHERE ARE ALL THE FUNDS TO OVER THROW GOVERNMENTS COMING FROM??

Support from Venezuela
Venezuela is the largest trading partner to Cuba and is widely considered to be systemically important to the Cuban economy.[112][113] Since the 1990s, the two nations have shared a close relationship and have maintained strong economic collaboration.[114][115] Initial trading was centered on exchanging Venezuelan oil for visiting Cuban doctors in a form of medical diplomacy.[116][117] Venezuelan investors are the only foreign investor allowed to hold 100% ownership in businesses, with all other foreign investors requiring joint investment with Cuba. According to Carmelo Mesa-Lago, a Cuban-born U.S. economist, in nominal terms, the Venezuelan subsidy is higher than the subsidy which the Soviet Union gave to Cuba.[113] In 2012, Venezuela accounted for 20.8% of Cuba’s GDP, while Cuba only accounted for roughly 4% of Venezuela’s.[118] The Venezuelan economy has been in complete collapse since 2010, hampering its ability to support Cuba.[119][120]
Support from the Soviet Union, Russia and China are also detailed. Cuba is the dark blue line.
In 1954, Operation PBSuccess dismantled Guatemala’s newfound democracy — so that an American fruit company could continue to profit off the old government’s corruption.
Throughout the early 20th century, an American multinational corporation called the United Fruit Company — now known as Chiquita Brands International — controlled vast swaths of Guatemalan land and production. Aided by a corrupt autocracy, it received little pushback over decades of economic exploitation.
But in the 1940s, a democratic revolution and calls for justice threatened to undermine United Fruit’s position. So the company leveraged its powerful connections inside the White House — painting the new Guatemalan government as a dangerous Communist administration in the process…
John Foster Dulles and Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1955.
United Fruit couldn’t sit by and wait. It needed the support of the American government to stop Arbenz.
This was the 1950s — the early years of the Cold War — and so United Fruit began a strategy that framed Guatemala as a Communist foe in the U.S. press.
Their mission was helped by the company’s connections. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was a former lawyer for United Fruit. His brother Allen Dulles, the director of the CIA, was formerly on United Fruit’s Board of Directors. And the company’s PR Executive, Ed Whitman, was married to President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s personal secretary, Ann Whitman.
United Fruit didn’t need to push hard. Eisenhower was eager to show the world his anti-Communist credentials. Under Eisenhower’s orders, the CIA began crafting Operation PBSuccess in August 1953…
To achieve this goal, the CIA recruited a disgruntled ex-Arbenz military officer named Carlos Castillo Armas. Armas rallied anti-government sentiment and pieced together an army of a few hundred men, supplied and supported with U.S. equipment and intelligence under Operation PBSuccess.
On June 18, 1954, Armas and his men attacked with the help of logistical support from the U.S. The CIA began by launching a propaganda campaign, warning the Guatemalan public and Arbenz that a major invasion was underway, setting up a clandestine radio station that jammed Guatemalan signals and flooded the airwaves with greatly exaggerated messages.
…The CIA’s psychological warfare succeeded. Panic overtook the capital and Arbenz’s supporters began losing faith. And when he attempted to raise his own militia, only a few hundred civilians showed up.
On June 27, 1954, just nine days later, Arbenz resigned. He sought asylum at the Mexican embassy and later fled the country….

How Eddie Bernays, the United Fruit Company, and the CIA overthrew the Guatemalan Government
Excerpt from Adam Curtis’ BBC documentary, “Century of Self,” detailing Eddie Bernays’ influence in helping United Fruit and the CIA overthrow the democratically elected leader of Guatemala.
IMPORTANT EXCERPTS FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
… influence of the Freud family in America was about to grow even more politicians were about to turn to Anna Freud cousin Edward Bernays for help in a time of crisis he was going to manipulate the inner feelings and fears of the masses to help America’s politicians fight the Cold War….
…at this point Edward Bernays was living in New York in the 1920s he had invented the profession of public relations and was now one of the most powerful PR men in America he worked for most of the major corporations and advised politicians including President Eisenhower like his uncle Sigmund Bernays was convinced that human beings were driven by irrational forces the only way to deal with the public was to connect with their unconscious desires and affairs Bernays argued that instead of trying to reduce people’s fear of communism one should actually encourage and manipulate the fear but in such a way as it became a weapon in the Cold War rational argument was fruitless what my father understood about groups is that they are manipulandum arable and that that you can tap into their deepest desires or their deepest fears and use up to your own purposes I don’t think you felt that all those public’s out there had reliable judgment that they very easily might vote for the wrong man or want the wrong thing so that they had to be guided from above one of the bonuses main clients was the giant United Fruit Company they owned vast banana plantations in Guatemala in Central America…
…taking United Fruit again as a commercial client out of the picture and making it look like a question of American democracy American values being threatened in reality árbenz was a Democratic Socialist with no links to Moscow but Bernays set out to turn him into a communist threat to America..
…with the United Fruit Company the CIA trained and armed rebel army and found a new leader for the country called Colonel Armas the CIA agent in charge was Howard hunt later one of the Watergate burglars what we wanted to do was have a terror campaign to terrify our beds particularly terrify his troops …just rendered everybody paralyzed as planes flown by CIA pilots dropped bombs on Guatemala City Edward Bernays carried on his propaganda campaign in the American press he was preparing the American population to see this as the liberation of Guatemala by freedom fighters for democracy
He totally understood that the coup would happen when the public and the press, when conditions in the public & in the press allowed for [it] to happen And he created those conditions He was totally savvy in terms of just what he was helping create there, in terms of this overthrow but ultimately he was reshaping reality reshaping public opinion in a way that’s undemocratic and manipulative. On June 27th 1954 Colonel Arbenz fled the country and Armas arrived as the new leader within months Vice President Nixon visited Guatemala in an event staged by United fruits PR department it was shown piles of Marxist literature that had been found it was said in the presidential palace.… [FBI photos of classified docs at Mar-a-logo anyone? – GC]
Now compare that to what Barbara Boyd and Susan Kokinda from Promethean Action is telling us. H/T scott467(@scott467)
British Empire’s Psy-War Against MAGA: How They’re Trying to Stop Trump’s Peace
“In this episode, Barbara Boyd discusses President Trump’s peace plan for the Russia-Ukraine war and its monumental implications. The proposed plan may lead to the end of the British Financial Empire and spark a new human Renaissance.
Trump’s realist approach centers on acknowledging ground realities and working toward Ukrainian sovereignty and rebuilding. The script also highlights Trump’s criticism of the Washington status quo and the psychological warfare against MAGA supporters. Vice President Vance’s insights on MAGA’s challenges and the economic strategies are also examined. Boyd delves into the economic and geopolitical ramifications of the peace plan, including infrastructural projects like the Bering Strait Tunnel and the potential collapse of NATO. ”
Tucker and MTG have fallen into a British imperial trap—the same one used for centuries to pit patriots against their own interests. Trump’s foreign policy IS his domestic policy. You can’t rebuild America while the Empire controls global trade.
The Monday Brief – British Intelligence Lures the Young to Kill Trump’s Revolution – November 17, 2025

BOOMERS
I have seen the targeting of Boomers in the last few years. Sort of reminds me of MAO.
Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution
In August 1966, the 73-year-old Mao made a speech at the Plenum of the Communist Central Committee. He called for the youth of the country to take back the revolution from the rightists. These young “Red Guards“ would do the dirty work in Mao’s Cultural Revolution, destroying the “Four Olds”—old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas. [And the Elderly, who had been venerated in traditional Chinese Culture.] Even a tea-room owner like President Hu Jintao’sfather could be targeted as a “capitalist.”
While the nation’s students were busily destroying ancient artwork and texts, burning temples and beating intellectuals to death, Mao managed to purge both Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping from the party’s leadership. Liu died under horrific circumstances in prison; Deng was exiled to work in a rural tractor factory, and his son was thrown from a fourth-story window and paralyzed by Red Guards.
In 1969, Mao declared the Cultural Revolution complete, although it continued through his death in 1976. Later phases were directed by Jiang Qing (Madame Mao) and her cronies, known as the “Gang of Four.”

You can’t underestimate the power of schools over children. It’s a fact of linguistics that children don’t talk like their parents but their classmates. And anyone who’s ever studied languages understands that culture and language are two expressions of the same thing.
That’s why the Marxists are so hellbent on changing the meaning of words. From calling men women to confusing illegals with citizens by glossing over the fact with the carefully chosen “people.” (The government is abducting people!) The Left is really good at tactical linguistics.
…
As a Boomer, I consider us the transition generation. A bit of background as usual.
… in January 1934 when FDR re-defined the dollar as only 13.71 grains. It was a 41% devaluation of the dollar, which meant that it thereafter took $35 to exchange for one ounce of gold…
So clearly, notwithstanding the enduring myth, FDR really did not need the weight of gold collected from the confiscation to re-establish confidence in the dollar. Simply devaluing the dollar by a slightly greater amount would have achieved the same objective. So why did FDR confiscate gold?
In our book, The Collapse of the Dollar, John Rubino and I provided an answer, but it wasn’t an explanation that we developed. Rather, the answer came from Alan Greenspan’s 1966 essay entitled “Gold and Economic Freedom”.
“The abandonment of the gold standard made it possible for the welfare statists to use the banking system as a means to an unlimited expansion of credit…The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the gold standard.”
So it seems clear to me that FDR confiscated American’s gold for the same reason Lenin confiscated it in Russia and Hitler confiscated it in Germany, namely, to get it out of the hands of the people…
CONGRESSMAN MCFADDEN
Almost immediately and ever since this commentary, he was characterized and smeared as anti-Semite. Today, there are online accounts given that demonstrate that the critics of McFadden didn’t even examine his important speeches let alone debate them and in fact use license to make things up (straw men fallacy)…
It is hard today to find anything positive said about this prescient and wise man. The critics of McFadden rarely focus on the core issues, which time has demonstrated are completely valid…
But thanks to the wonders of technology, you can conduct a word search examination of the 1932 speech. Although McFadden singled out certain Jewish-run banks like Kuhn and Loeb, a CTRL+F hunt reveals the words “Jew” or “Jewish” was never used during this entire classic speech, nor his 1931 speeches.
He did use the term “international bankers” six times in ’32; but with 89 years of additional hindsight, one would have to be in total cartoon world to deny the existence of powerful international bankers. — The Assassination of Louis McFadden
McFadden was a banker by trade. According to Wiki “He is known for his antisemitic conspiracy theories, which eventually saw him lose his seat in the House of Representatives.” Gotta paint him as Antisemitic within the first 3 sentences. However the three assassination attempts, the third being successful, do not deserve mention by Wiki. Only the smears by the press. Remember J.P. Morgan and friends bought control of the news in 1915 and the Anti-Defamation League was started in 1913 “To stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.” Especially people like the Warburgs and Soros.
Why was McFadden smeared as an Antisemite BEFORE Hitler’s atrocities and then assassinated? You have to go to the Wayback Machine to find this explosive speech that helped get him killed.
“The statement that it is necessary for the people to give their gold- the only real money- to the banks in order to protect the currency, is a statement of calculated dishonesty!
“By his unlawful usurpation of power on the night of March 5, 1933, and by his proclamation, which in my opinion was in violation of the Constitution of the United States, Roosevelt divorced the currency of the United States from gold, and the United States currency is no longer protected by gold. It is therefore sheer dishonesty to say that the people’s gold is needed to protect the currency.
“Roosevelt ordered the people to give their gold to private interests- that is, to banks, and he took control of the banks so that all the gold and gold values in them, or given into them, might be handed over to the predatory International Bankers who own and control the Fed.
“Roosevelt cast his lot with the usurers. “He agreed to save the corrupt and dishonest at the expense of the people of the United States.
“He took advantage of the people’s confusion and weariness and spread the dragnet over the United States to capture everything of value that was left in it. He made a great haul for the International Bankers.
“The Prime Minister of England came here for money! He came here to collect cash!
“He came here with Fed Currency and other claims against the Fed which England had bought up in all parts of the world. And he has presented them for redemption in gold.
“Mr. Chairman, I am in favor of compelling the Fed to pay their own debts. I see no reason why the general public should be forced to pay the gambling debts of the International Bankers….
And shortly thereafter in 1941, having moved US gold into the hands of the Bankers and enabled currency devaluation (inflation) the USA entered World War II.
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DEBT
By the end of World War I, the Government’s debt was around $25 billion. After the war in the 1920s, US government debt shrank to around $17 billion. So the bankers crashed the economy in 1933.
…The Fed is tasked to provide liquidity to America’s financial system. But from 1930 to 1933, it shockingly engaged in deflationary monetary policy that reduced the nation’s cash supply by nearly one-third, according to Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman).
As privately-owned central bank of United States, the Fed can change the quantity of dollars in circulation — which leads to (and magnifies the) economic boom and bust cycles of U.S. economy… LINK
Under FDR US Debt went from $22 billion in 1933 to $258 million in 1945 at the end of WWII. LINK
Taking part in this war was very expensive for the U.S. Not only did the U.S. pay for its own military, it also lent money to Britain and other countries fighting the German military. [Which was not paid back] The estimated cost for the U.S. was $323 billion. To help pay for the war, the U.S. took on more debt, borrowing about $211 billion. Much of the debt was in the form of U.S. Savings Bonds, which were also called War Bonds at the time. The sale of the bonds was very successful. About 18 percent of the total U.S. debt for the war was funded by War Bonds. At the end of World War II, the Government’s debt had grown to more than $258 billion
From 1949 to 1979 the debt increased from $253 to $845 billion and from there to $11.9 TRILLION by 2009 DESPITE all the taxes we Boomers paid. As of November 10, 2025, the U.S. national debt stands at $38 trillion, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s daily report. WIKI
….So why are conservatives like MTG and O’Reilly whinging about Democrat talking points? The answer is because Biden and the Autopen printed so much money that it tripled the amount of circulating currency.
Something like that is going to smart. There’s no avoiding it.
Inflation is inconvenient; nobody likes having to carry cash around in buckets. But it is painful only because of a three-word economic law: “Wages are sticky.” It means that, in a time of hyperinflation, people’s salaries increase much slower than consumer goods prices. Wages get stuck. Prices are the hare, and wages are the tortoise. There are many reasons why wages are so sticky. Some reasons are obvious, some are less intuitive, and some are drenched in syrup.
But it matters little why. It just is.
Whenever wages finally do increase, groceries and electricity and insurance don’t get cheaper. They just get more affordable.
The most difficult news is that prices will never return to pre-Biden levels. There’s too much cash sloshing around…
As we are now finding out, it was not Boomers who were getting rich, we were their cash cows, the cannon fodder for their endless war and now the Cabal’s fall guy, taking the blame for their crimes. At least that is what they are hoping. As Scott likes to point out, it is (working) white males who are on the bottom of the totem pole.
FDR’s set-up of the American People was followed by Nixon and The End of the Gold Standardin 1971. Once the dollar was completely un-tethered from gold, the Rockefellers instigated the OPEC oil embargo in 1973. See OPECandRockefeller (An old truck driver told me there was so much oil during that period, the workers at the refineries were complaining they were running out of storage room.) Over night the price at the pump doubled causing a massive increase in the price of everything else… except the value of your savings account and pay check.
It was bad enough that FDR stole our gold, he also saddled us with the New Deal and the bastardization of the Commerce Clause. SEE: The Commerce Clause: Route to Omnipotent Government. Financially it has been a disaster for Americans.
U.S. GDP is just $16 trillion instead of $54 trillion
The growth of federal regulations over the past six decades has cut U.S. economic growth by an average of 2 percentage points per year, according to a new study in the Journal of Economic Growth. As a result, the average American household receives about $277,000 less annually than it would have gotten in the absence of six decades of accumulated regulations—a median household income of $330,000 instead of the $53,000 we get now.
On top of that, under Reagan, our American corporations were stripped of their wealth via leveraged buyouts and then sold off to foreigners. As a country we went from corporations that were part of our community and viewed Americans as long term investments to transnational corporations who view Americans as replaceable cogs to be discarded as soon as they became ‘too expensive.’ During my Dad’s lifetime people worked for the same company all their life and retired with a pension. I watched the company I was planning to grow old with, a company with ZERO DEBT, get bought out in a hostile takeover, stripped and sold off piece meal. I even knew a guy in Boston, whose business was shipping the machinery from closed US factories in New England to Israel!
EDUCATION
Perhaps the nastiest thing the Cabal did was to destroy out education system. After all the target has always been the uppity middle class. As Dr Blumenfeld pointed out in Dumbing Down America
…he[Dewey]analyzed the traditional curriculum that sustained the capitalist, individualistic system and found whathe believed was the sustaining linchpin — that is, the key element that held the entire system together: high literacy. To Dewey, the greatest obstacle to socialism was the private mind that seeks knowledge in order to exercise its own private judgment and intellectual authority.High literacy gave the individual the means to seek knowledge independently. It gave individuals the means to stand on their own two feet and think for themselves. This was detrimental to the “social spirit” needed to bring about a collectivist society….
I was a victim of the See & Say reading method as a child.
For more than a century, reading instruction has been involved in a high-stakes battle between supporters of two opposing methods for teaching a child to read. While this battle is often characterized as “Phonics” versus “Whole Word,” I think it’s more accurate to describe the two methodologies as “Bottom-Up” versus “Top-Down.” … The two methods are not compatible. [BULL SCHIFF! I learned Phonics from Mom and used it when ‘sight reading’ did not work.]
In 1908, Edmond Huey publishes his bookThe Psychology and Pedagogy of Readingwhich quickly becomes the manifesto of a growing Whole Word (anti-phonics) movement….
In 1927, a nationally known educator, Dr. Arthur Gates, from Teachers College at Columbia University, joins the Whole Word movement….
By 1930, phonics – meaning explicit teaching of the code – has been abandoned in most of the nation’s classrooms….
1930 – 1965: Whole Word becomes the dominant top-down method for teaching reading in the United States…
1955: The Rudolf Flesch book,Why Johnny Can’t Read, becomes a runaway best seller in the US. It’s a passionate (and polemic) plea for the elimination of Whole Word memorization and guessing, and for a return to phonics….
1955: In a defensive response to the Flesch book, the education establishment and textbook publishers create the International Reading Association (later rebranded as the International Literacy Association). William S. Gray of the University of Chicago is named the first president. It was Gray who developed the popular Look/Say reading series,Dick and Jane, so heavily criticized by Flesch in Why Johnny Can’t Read. [Future IRA presidents will include such noteworthy names as Kenneth Goodman (1981), co-founder of Whole Language (see below), and Marie S. Clay (1992), founder of Reading Recovery.]…
What is interesting is even in Junior High, my friends and I saw the deterioration of education from one year class to the next and remarked upon it. We certainly noticed the Civil Rights Act and the bussing of little Drug Pushers into our school as the CIA expanded their customer base. (A friend’s 7 year old sister was hooked on cocaine in a school near where the Clintons now live.)
Robin Eubanks, an attorney who wrote the blog, Invisible Serf’s Collar gets into the details.
…A background in Law is also excellent preparation for determining precisely what the terms commonly used actually mean. Especially in an industry that is consciously using language to hide the actual intended goals. My experience allowed me to recognize that education in the US and globally has been, for decades, engaged in a massive Newspeak (as in George Orwell’s 1984) campaign that creates a public illusion on what is being promised and what is coming to the schools and classrooms that are this country’s future. I know what the words and terms really mean to an Ed insider and how it differs from the common public perception. I have documented what was really behind the reading wars and math wars. I have pulled together what the real intended Common Core implementation looks like. And it is wildly different from the PR sales job used to gain adoption in most of the states.
For me the English language is both a sword and a shield. I have documented what is really going on, written a book describing how and why education became a weapon, and now we are going to talk about what the real Common Core implementation looks like in various communities in the US in this busy Summer of 2012…
Why yes that is a quote froma Future Worlds Project financed by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Endowment for Peace in the early 70s. At least we now know why education just keeps coming up as the vehicle of choice to initiate social change without that fundamental fact being particularly noticeable. Even if caught, we just get told to defer to the professionals so that the political coup can continue at a slower pace. Drastic Gradualism is actually the term used to get the West to a radically different social, economic, and political system. Hopefully by the year 2000 was the Plan. The 70s were to have been the years to use education to change the prevailing Consciousness before initiating the mobilization for change in the 80s. The precise language used was to:
“supplant the outmoded values/ belief system associated with the state system [they mean nation-state, not those pesky political units the US has 50 of] in a pre-ecological age. [in other words, before Paul Ehrlich started writing about impending disaster]. The emergence and diffusion of a new value/belief consensus [helpfully provided as a Conceptual Understanding so ALL students will know it] is a vital precondition for the kind of active politics that would accomplish the transformation of the structures of power and authority in subsequent period of time.”
Now how many of you have heard that Common Core cannot be incremental? It MUST be comprehensive. Reforms in teacher evals, curricula, assessment, instructional practices, etc. ALL at once. The kind of social engineering that even a weak student of history would know better than attempt. Even if everything about the Common Core was actually about academic content. Which it most decidedly is not.
Well our new World Order planners as they honestly appear to be proud of being [again from then Princeton prof Richard Falk’s book] said it was because (their italics) mechanical penetration of existing curricula was not enough…
I actually have copies of the curriculum UNESCO created back in 2002 to be pushed globally in K-12 created in fulfillment of their obligations as Task Manager under Agenda 21. So much for it being just a theory of conspiring. I also documented the Belmont Challenge and Earth System Alliance that this is a part of. http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/the-belmont-challenge-and-the-death-of-the-individual-via-education/
In my book Credentialed to Destroy: How and Why Education Became a Weapon I chronicle the UN entities and the OECD’s confessions of how their use of K-12 education plays into their broader goals. The Secreatry-General of the oECD was especially forthcoming. The thorough use of constructivism globally in K-12 and how it is actually about something other than how to teach subjects is also detailed.
I have also covered on my blog how Queensland has been used by the UN to pilot the transdisciplinary vision for K-12 in something that went by the name the New Basics Project.
There is a theory in K-12 that comes straight out of Marxism that is widely apparent in all the CAGW hype. It doesn’t matter if a theory is factually true. What matters is the effect implementing it as if it were true will have on people and the environment. Never forget the view that There’s Nothing as Practical as a Good Theory if fundamental transformation of people and institutions with governments in charge is the real agenda.
The Hitler Youth, that you refer to, in pictures, started out as a Green Movement. Members of the Hitler Youth wore green shirts, and were sometimes referred to as Greenshirts.
One of their pamphlets reads:
“In every german breast the German forest quivers with its caverns and ravines, crags and boulders, waters and winds, legends and fairy tales, with its songs and its melodies, and awakens a powerful yearning and a longing for home; in all German souls the German forest lives and weaves with its depth and breadth, its stillness and strength, its might and dignity, its riches and its beauty — it is the source of German inwardness, of the German soul, of German freedom. Therefore protect and care for the German forest for the sake of the elders and the youth, and join the new German “League for the Protection and Consecration of the German Forest”. [Reproduced in Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn, Auf der Suche nach Arkadien, Munchen, 1990 p 147.]
The brightest and fittest of the Hitler Youth went on to form the nucleus of the Waffen Schutzstaffel (the SS), or in English, Protective Squadron. – Hitler’s private bodyguards.
But they didn’t just protect Hitler, in a personal sense, rather they protected the Furer (or leader), but more importantly, they were sworn and dedicated to protecting the Fatherland – Germany.
Substitute the concept of Gaia, as the Earth Mother, for the concept of Fatherland, as being just Germany, and you have the modern Green Shirts.

The models won’t go away because environmental catastrophe is at the center of global education reforms insisting we need new kinds of minds. It is all grounded in the Paul Ehrlich and Robert Ornstein book from that convenient and busy year of 1989 New World New Mind.
It’s also at the center of the political efforts that we shift to a so-called cooperative commonwealth model where the common good” as decided by government officials will be paramount. The Democracy Collaborative out of U Maryland has been quite busy on this note as has Gar Alperowitz on his book tour.
None of us may be among the 350 invited guests from all over the world being planned for in this September Meeting of the Minds annual conference http://cityminded.org/events/toronto/agenda but we are all being planned for at the meeting. Don’t miss the US EPA official attending as they work on a different kind of commerce for the 21st century.
They need the supposed AGW crisis. It’s the excuse for all the planning and sought revolutionary transformations.

As somebody who reads all these reports coming out of the UN and Club of Rome and what Ehrlich says he intends to do etc, the books and reports read like satire and bad fiction. Which they are except intentions coupled to political power and taxpayer financing have actual real effects.
I suspect the early 90s writers were looking at things like the World Order Models Project and the 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment and then the hype around Limits to Growth and then the 87 Brundtland Report and realizing this is all an excuse for unquestioned power. AND being the paymaster for all that redistribution.
Understanding WOMP from the early 70s is very enlightening to appreciating the mentalities and lust for money and power that have always been hand in hand with these Save the World by changing human values schemes. http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/reorienting-world-order-values-via-the-intervention-of-activist-education-and-progressive-politics/ lays out WOMP.
…Radical Math was created by educator Jonathan Osler several years ago while teaching at El Puenta Academy in New Jersey. Osler taught Radical Math along-side Cathy Wilkerson, a former member of the Weather Underground Organization (with Bill Ayers) who once participated in a plot to detonate a nail bomb at a dance for military personnel at Fort Dix.
Radical Math provides hundreds of social justice math lessons obviously meant to indoctrinate. For example, lesson titles include “Sweatshop Accounting,” “Racism and Stop and Frisk,” “When Equal Isn’t Fair,” “The Square Root of a Fair Share” and “Home Buying While Brown or Black.”…

PHILOSOPHICAL BACKGROUND
I have been pointing out the importance of TRADE and trade routes to the Cabal. The importance goes back centuries. The mercantile system is based on trade with the colonies as a source of raw materials and the ‘mother country’ the source of finished goods.
Mercantilism was an economic practice from the 16th to 18th century, where nations sought to increase wealth through export surplus and controlled trade.
The system emphasized accumulating precious metals and often used military force to protect trade interests and enforce monopolistic practices.
Mercantilist policies favored colonies as sources of raw materials and as markets for exports, exemplified by the British Sugar and Navigation Acts.
Although considered outdated, elements of mercantilism persist today, with countries like China and Russia controlling trade and imposing tariffs….
Outdated??? Well that is certainly a lie.
If a country is ‘De-industrialized’ it is back to being a source of raw materials and a market for the Cabal’s Transnational Corporations. See The Network of Global Corporate Control
On March 20, 1969, Dr. Richard Day, the National Medical Director of the Rockefeller-sponsored “Planned Parenthood” told a meeting that American industry will be sabotaged and shown to be uncompetitive.
In view of the recent bankruptcy of General Motors, his remarks are especially pertinent.
“The stated plan was that different parts of the world would be assigned different roles of industry and commerce in a unified global system. The continued preeminence of the United States and the relative independence and self-sufficiency of the United States would have to be changed… in order to create a new structure, you first have to tear down the old, and American industry was one example of that.”
👉“Each part of the world will have a specialty and thus become inter-dependent, he said. The US will remain a center for agriculture, high tech, communications, and education but heavy industry would be “transported out.”
These remarks to the Pittsburgh Pediatric Society were reported by Dr. Lawrence Dunegan, a Pittsburgh pediatrician who died in Jan. 2004. 👉The speech described “A New World System” already in place which would permanently transform the world....
The rest of the warnings in that 2009 article sounds like our recent history.
👉“Each part of the world will have a specialty and thus become inter-dependent, he said.
Al Gore said the same thing to the Future Farmers of America. He told them to get out of farming. There were other plans for the USA and described how the world would be carved up into specialties. I can no longer find those statements but I did find this. (Think AI)
Does economic interdependence increase or decrease the probability of war among states?
With the Cold War over, this question is taking on importance as trade levels between established powers such as the United States and Russia and emerging powers such as Japan, China, and Western Europe grow to new heights. In this article, I provide a new dynamic theory to help overcome some of the theoretical and empirical problems with current liberal and realist views on the question.
The prolonged debate between realists and liberals on the causes of war has been largely a debate about the relative salience of different causal variables. Realists stress such factors as relative power, while liberals focus on the absence or presence of collective security regimes and the pervasiveness of democratic communities.(1)
Economic interdependence is the only factor that plays an important causal role in the thinking of both camps, and their perspectives are diametrically opposed…
This paper is well worth the read despite being 3 decades old.
In 1863, Czar Alexander II sent Russian battleships to NY and San Francisco as a message of solidarity with Lincoln and a threat to imperial forces of Europe.
“In the Autumn of 1862, the governments of France and Great Britain proposed to Russia, in a formal but not in an official way, the joint recognition by European powers of the independence of the Confederate States of America. My immediate answer was: `I will not cooperate in such action; and I will not acquiesce. On the contrary, I shall accept the recognition of the independence of the Confederate States by France and Great Britain as a casus belli
for Russia. And in order that the governments of France and Great Britain may understand that this is no idle threat; I will send a Pacific fleet to San Francisco and an Atlantic fleet to New York.
All this I did because of love for my own dear Russia… I acted thus because I understood that Russia would have a more serious task to perform if the American Republic, with advanced industrial development were broken up and Great Britain should be left in control of most branches of modern industrial development.”
This fact has been literally erased from American history books, but it is better understood in Russia, which has today a statue featuring the two martyred patriots and great emancipators, Czar Alexander II and Lincoln holding hands in Moscow….
In 1890, Lincoln’s friend and first governor of Colorado William Gilpin published his book ‘The Cosmopolitan Railway’ outlining his dream of a world of rail networks, industrial progress and cooperation.
And so the Cabal instigated the Assassination of both leaders. Having failed to destroy the United States, they over threw the Russian government instead and installed ‘Communism.’ After WWII they fomented a cold war against the ‘Communism’ they created and used the communist label as an excuse to overthrow governments that did not cooperate in the Cabal’s rape of their country’s raw materials.
As Matt said:
…Sadly, history unfolded in another direction from the beautiful vision laid out by Czar Alexander II, Abraham Lincoln and William Gilpin.
An age of bankers wars, anarchist assassinations, and economic turmoil disrupted this new age of progress and cooperation among civilizational states.
Matt then goes into The True Origins of Bolshevism
So that was an early vision of an alternate route from the East to the West that could bypass the Middle East route controlled by the British Empire. (Note that the Lincoln, Czar Alexander II statue in Moscow still exists.)
Almost no one covered what should have been last week’s most interesting and most discussed story… India Today covered the news that started the ball rolling, which ran under the headline, “Russia gives US super-secret JFK files with map that could shake up world.” Just wait. This is another world-shaker.
The hand-drawn map within the newly released files —never seen before— bears the provocative English legend, “Kennedy-Khruschev World Peace Bridge—could and should be built between Alaska and Russia. AT ONCE.”
Last week, photogenic Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fl.), member of the House Disclosure Committee, announced that —after asking them nicely— the Russians handed over a curated copy of their 400-page KGB dossier on President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
Translators are still working. But that map jumped right out and launched a week of wild speculation over what could be Trump’s most controversial and world-changing move yet.
🔥 One trending hypothesis is that, if the Russian dossier is accurate, at the time of his death, Kennedy—scared straight by the Cuba standoff— was engaged in personal back-channel talks with Soviet General Secretary Khrushchev to officially broker peace between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, including a joint trade development plan as shown on the dossier’s map.
Jeff Childersthen points to a Promethian Action video (11 minutes) via this tweet.
Others have wondered whether his top-secret peace efforts were the straw that spurred his assassination. For more speculation about the disclosure, see Promethian Action’s take (11:23).

Trump’s NEW Map Flips the Chessboard: Is it Why JFK Was Assassinated?
Russian KGB files reveal Kennedy-Khrushchev Peace Bridge project connecting US and Russia via Bering Strait. Trump and Putin now revive this vision that could flip the globalist chessboard…
Barbara Boyd reveals the revival of a secret project, the Kennedy-Khrushchev World Peace Bridge, aiming to connect the United States and Russia through the Bering Strait. Delivered to Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, these documents reignite debates about the Kennedy assassination and highlight a bold future vision that includes a tunnel project potentially involving Elon Musk’s Boring Company. The discussion extends to recent peace efforts by President Trump involving Ukraine, Russia, and Middle Eastern rebuilding. Discover why JFK’s assassination might be connected to his peace initiatives and infrastructure projects, and how Trump and Putin are challenging the globalist agenda for a transformative economic relationship.

Many years ago, Kent approached me on Tony Heller’s blog and sent me a draft copy of his book. This is an excerpt from that book. This passage is a glimpse into the CIA during Kennedy’s presidency. The CIA disdain for both Kennedy brothers drips from each word.
…KGB officers, working under a variety of covers, implanted this influence payload. In what must be considered a success of the highest possible level, a KGB colonel, military intelligence officer, operating under TASS cover, assessed and developed the callow Attorney General of the U.S., whose power far exceeded his job title. As the younger brother of the young President, Bobby Kennedy was one of the President’s closest advisors, 35 years old at the 1961 inauguration.
The military career of Bobby Kennedy, a dilettante who thrived under the patronage of his millionaire bootlegger father, may best illustrate the special dispensations he received, throughout his short life.
Bouncing between boarding schools during WW2, just before he turned 18, apparently to avoid the draft, Kennedy enlisted in the Navy. He was immediately accepted into the Navy’s special training program for college-aged officer candidates, sort of an early ROTC. He, of course, was accepted at Harvard’s version of the program. He did nearly two years in the program, bouncing from Harvard to Bates, and back to Harvard, until the Navy commissioned a ship named after young Bobby’s brother, the U.S.S. Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., surely on the command of Daddy Kennedy, the Democrat power broker.
In February, Kennedy used his father’s Progressive patronage power to obtain a discharge from the officer candidate program, to serve as an apprentice seaman on the USS Kennedy. It doesn’t take much imagination to realize that the peripatetic Bobby Kennedy’s 119 day tour as a seaman on his daddy’s ship had nothing in common with a typical seaman’s sea duty. Arriving on February 1, he left the ship on May 30, and was discharged, honorably from the Navy.
Supported by the Kennedy family’s house newspaper in Boston, he flitted about the world, pretending to be a reporter for a few trips, until he finished law school.
He was immediately ensconced as a lawyer in the Department of Justice in Washington DC, for three months, before his daddy got him a job as a prosecutor in Brooklyn. He only lasted at that job for four months, resigning to “manage” his brother’s Senate campaign. After the successful campaign, daddy again pulled strings, and young Bobby landed a job with, ironically, Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Subcommittee on Investigations.
His tenure with McCarthy was more than seven months, a long time for this daddy’s boy on the move. He left the Senate job to work for, no surprise, daddy Kennedy, supposedly working on government reorganization.
It took his father seven months to get young Bobby his next gig, as chief counsel for the Democrat minority in the Senate. Eleven months later, bouncing Bobby became majority counsel, when the
Democrats won back the Senate from the Republicans. Bobby, not quite 30 years old, with no real world experience, settled into the warm comfort of the sinecure arranged by his daddy, in the shadow of his big brother, the anointed Democrat savior, and waited for the 1960 elections, which daddy Kennedy planned as a coming-out for his favorite surviving son.
Bobby again “managed” a John Kennedy campaign, this time a successful one for President, in 1960, and was rewarded by his daddy and big brother, with the plum appointment to be the Attorney General of the United States.
On his first day in the highest law enforcement office in the country, Bobby Kennedy was barely 35 years old. Outside his blatantly political job as a Democrat counsel in the Senate, he had held a handful of positions, usually for a few months at the most. It appears that virtually all of the “jobs” he held were arranged by his family political connections—119 days on the ship named for Daddy Kennedy’s favorite son, four months as a prosecutor in Brooklyn, seven months as a counsel in the Senate, seven months working for his daddy, until he joined his brother in the Senate, for nearly seven years.
From the point of view of a Russian case officer, working against this shallow, callow, punk daddy’s boy, elevated to a position of nearly absolute power in his brother’s administration, would be child’s play.
The KGB likely began probing multiple avenues of approach to the callow kiddie crowd in the White House, soon after their ascendance in January 1961. Maybe they already had established contacts with Bobby Kennedy, during his international travels, through Europe, the Middle East, India, Vietnam and Japan, as a student, pretending to be a journalist. Students on the make, traveling through these areas would have come to the attention of the KGB in each of the countries he visited. Especially a student who was the son of the corrupt Democrat ambassador to London. The KGB approach that clicked with the naïve Attorney General was the approach of a military intelligence colonel operating under cover as head of the Washington bureau of the TASS news agency. It may be useful to read ahead to the next chapter for the testimony of Ismael Ege, about the KBG’s use of TASS for operational cover.
…..In a classic piece of operational tradecraft, the KGB case officer, Georgi Bolshakov, represented himself to his target, Bobby Kennedy, as a “back-channel” conduit to the Kremlin. This is a common operational ruse, useful to convince otherwise wary targets that the information they share will go straight to the highest levels.
This ruse is also useful against targets in influential positions, for example a kid Attorney General, the most trusted advisor to his brother, the President of the U.S. Against these targets, the ruse is expanded to include a ruse within a ruse—that the target is also receiving confidential details in an “information exchange.” After accepting a “personal relationship” with the Bolshakov, Bobby Kennedy opened up to the espionage professional’s developmental operation. Kennedy invited the KGB officer to his home, and met with him dozens of times. For a developmental operation, this is a rather accelerated schedule. It seems that the KGB was ready to err on the side of aggression, due to the need to implant influence messages with the young administration. In stark contrast to the dilettante know-it-all Bobby Kennedy, Bolshakov was an expert at his profession. He had joined the Soviet intelligence system in 1943, served throughout WW2 and followed that with a three year graduate level training program in intelligence operations. He developed excellent English language skills prior to his posting to Washington.
The superbly successful development of the Attorney General by a man who was clearly Soviet intelligence would seem shocking by today’s counter-intelligence standards. At the time, evidently the Kennedys could do no wrong. Even today historians writing of this espionage operation give Bobby Kennedy an unwarranted benefit of the doubt.
Andrew, discussing Bobby Kennedy’s use as an influence agent, says that Bobby seemed to be, “forgetting that he was dealing with an experienced intelligence professional who had been instructed to cultivate him,” And that “the president’s brother became convinced that ‘an authentic friendship grew’ between him and [the KGB officer].”
There is absolutely no reason to give Kennedy the benefit of any doubt. He was simply an arrogant, ignorant, spoiled rich man’s son playing at international affairs. He was playing against talented, experienced, well-trained professionals. He was no match, and was out-witted, out-gunned, and out-maneuvered. The relationship seems to have terminated when the Russians manipulated the out-witted Kennedys during the Cuban missile crisis. The KGB case officer, after influencing the Kennedy administration’s view for several months, provided a disinformation payload to young Bobby, who swallowed it, hook, line and sinker.
In a conversation recorded in the Oval Office, between the President and his little brother, the two neophytes, playing at power politics seem to come to the realization that they’ve been played for fools.
Bobby tells his brother that he’d had lunch with his KGB handler that day.
President: “What did he say?”
Bobby: “He said this is, this is a defensive base for the Russians. It’s got nothing to do with the Cubans.”
President: “…They’re lying…This horror about embarrassing me in the election…. But they didn’t tell you there were missiles there.”
Bobby: “No. Remember, I told you that.”
A member of the President’s cabinet, later the same day joked about the potential consequences of a war that might ensue over the Soviet missiles in Cuba. Speaking to the Defense Secretary, Robert McNamara, an unidentified meeting attendee said, “Suppose we make Bobby mayor of Havana.” The KGB’s influence operations officers, in the field, were far superior to the Soviets’ decision makers, analysis, or ability to capitalize on the nearly unbelievable operations run by the field officers.
Recruiting, or at least co-opting, the Attorney General of the United States, by the KGB, is the operational equivalent of a grand slam home run, Triple Crown, Three-peat, MVP, World Cup, and a Super Bowl championship, all rolled into one.
The leadership of a banana republic, or an African former colony, where a young colonel as the President, after a coup, installs his even younger brother in his cabinet, might be seen as susceptible to a cabinet member being targeted and played by an ops officer. Such a country would be a ripe target for a case officer’s plucking. But to consider the leadership of a super-power to be susceptible to such a blatant influence operation is shocking and nearly incredible.
The fact is, though, that the Bobby Kennedy operation happened, and has been known for some time. Exact details remain sketchy due to most KGB documentation, as discussed earlier, being under the control of the KGB, while the Kennedy side of the story is controlled by the PC hagiographers who seem to believe that the Kennedys truly were the America’s Camelot. Exposure of truths that tarnish the haloes of the Kennedy brothers is not encouraged by the PC keepers of the legend.

👉However, the relationship between Bobby and Bolshakov is known. Bolshakov’s true status is known. We know what KGB officers do. We know how they operate. We know their operational goals. We know what Bolshakov told Bobby. We know the story that Bobby believed—he had a “back channel” to the Kremlin to avoid diplomatic sclerosis. We know that Bobby eventually realized he’d been used. And we know that none of the American players ever admitted the whole truth.
Bobby told the Russian ambassador that if it became publicly known that he had accepted a deal with the Russians to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey in exchange for the Russians removing their missiles from Cuba it “could cause irreparable harm to my political career in the future.”👈
HMMMMmmmm Is this the reason Bobby Kennedy was offed too?
Now add in the CIA trying to scuttle the current negotiations with Hamas. Only by using NON-STATE DEPARTMENT people was POTUS able to actually get close to peace in the Middle East.
Besides the CIA, who actually works for the British Empire/ Globalist Cartel, there is another thread tying these two events together.

I very much doubt Israel was established for religious reasons by the Satanists, royals & Rothschilds, MONEY aka trade was the real reason as I showed in my article.
1858 — The Suez Canal was an immensely profitable investment by the Rothschild family. The family basically owned the British banking system and had funded all the British war efforts throughout the 19th century. Because the Suez Canal was built with slave labor, the Brits did not want their name associated with the building of it. Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, (Jewish BTW) had N M Rothschild & Sons act for the British Government instead. Disraeli was a close personal friend of Lionel de Rothschild. LINK
(God may have other plans but I am not about to second guess him.)
For now the Cabal looks like they have given up on their new, bigger better canal, The Ben Gurion Canal, in the Middle East because they have bigger fish to fry — Keeping Russia and the USA from uniting and realizing their plans for a ‘BRIDGE’ from Alaska to Siberia thereby bypassing the Middle East all together.
Of course they are STILL trying to overthrow Trump and the USA, so the 5th Generation War is heating up.

Most countries in the Latin America use their militaries against the cartels not because they want to, but because they have to.

[Of course they do because they are on the side of the Deep State that enslaves the Latinos and destroys US youth. Why else do you think the billionaires support this crap? — GC.]
No one is going to reveal the fight is between the US military and the rogue CIA. I nearly busted a gut laughing when I read Trump was sending the CIA in. I wonder WHICH CIA and WHY. Especially since he announced it.

“In this episode, Barbara Boyd examines the recent series of attacks by the British Empire on President Trump and his policies.
Key topics include the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the role of British and European leaders, Trump’s strategic economic alliances in Asia, and the purported financial destabilization plans involving frozen Russian assets.
Boyd also highlights the U.S. Justice Department’s efforts to prosecute those involved in the alleged coup against Trump. ”
So Trump is off to Asia to build the new system/BRIDGE.

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

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

I have taken the youtube transcript, cleaned it up and added links and some reference materials. I am not putting the entire transcript in quotes. The time stamps will serve instead. My comments and additions are in brackets. Outside sources are linked and in quotes.
TRANSCRIPT:
1:00: Clayton Morris:Operation GladioWAS a Cold War-era NATO program that set up secret stay-behind armies across Europe. [At this point he does not realize these units are still alive and well AND the ‘Communist Threat’ propaganda was just a news talking point to cover up the over throw of governments that resisted the rape of their country by the transnational corporations.] Now it was originally intended, of course, to resist the Soviet invasion of these countries. But evidence later suggested, documents released a few decades ago that these units carried out false flag attacks, political manipulation, basically terrorist attacks as false flag attacks, raising serious questions about western covert operations. But this has been largely kept in the dark. But somebody who’s been on top of this story, has been exposing the lengths that Opweration Gladio went is Colonel Roxine Towner-Watkins.
0:40: He introduces Colonel Towner and NATO’s Operation Gladio.
2:30: Clayton Morris: What is Operation Gladio at its heart? Who put it in place? What years are we talking about? And what are the tentacles that reach into different parts of the US military?
2:30: Colonel Towner: So, if if I could step back in time prior to World War II, what I have I’ve read now over a hundred books that deal specifically with Operation Gladio. I had prior to this research project about 600 books in my library. All of them are non-fiction, military, general, biographies, state department. So, I had a very wide knowledge base and I stumbled across a couple of books um a trilogy by Anthony Sutton which talked about 👉the same group of oligarchs and bankers that funded the Bolshevik revolution, Hitler’s rise to power and FDR’s campaign👈 which again I had never learned in any of my education. And I felt that that was fairly intriguing.
3:50: And one of the reference in the footnotes was a book called The Third Way. And Joseph Ferrell talks about this manipulation of mass[es of] people to believe that there’s, and I’m going to use their terminology, a Left and a Right. And the Bolshevik Revolution gave us the left, i.e. communism. and Hitler gave us the right. And those two power structures have been used to create a third wave which kind of pushed people all over the world into the proverbial cattle cars to their own slaughter. I found this theory fascinating. Well,
4:30: In Joseph Frell book,he mentioned stay-behinds and he did it in a military context, which again, as a career military officer, I found fascinating because I’d never even heard the term. And so I began just look doing searches on the internet about staybehinds. I was dumbfounded at how much has been written about them by different authors.
5:00: So over the course of the last two and a half years, kind of if I could put it all in a nutshell so every one’s brain can wrap their head around it, what you had prior to World War II was a power structure of oligarchical com uh companies that had their own built-in paramilitary and intelligence functions. We knew them as like the British East and West Indies um and the Dutch East and West Indies, but they went around the world colonizing countries using their own intelligence and paramilitary. But after World War II, the entire globe put those functions in governments. So you have this intel intelligence apparatus that was set up after World War II. We created the CIA. West Germany created the BND. Korea um set up the KCIA. And they’re they’re all across the globe.
6:00: They were all trained and coordinated to operate together. There’s lots of names, but obviously Allan Dulles’s name comes up often in this network. On the military side, basically the same thing happened. So these oligarchs have outsourced something off their balance sheet to the taxpayers around the world.
6:40: What you find today is through the 1990s with the fall of the Soviet Union, a lot of that capability has been outsourced. [from the government to hide their actions from Congress & FOIA -GC] For example, the CIA has lots of independent intelligence fronts doing this work and the military has outsourced a lot of their functionality to contractors like Hallebertton and Blackwater in its current state. So you have if you start now tracing those outsourced entities back, you find the same oligarchs. So not only did they off book all of their operations to us taxpayers, we’re still footing the dime, but they’re getting rich off of these contracted out sources….
7:30:So they’re profiting off of the overthrows of governments. And they’re doing that to take the resources that they took as colonial powers while making it look like they’re saving the world from this boogeyman called communism or this boogeyman called Hitler or whatever. And that was the hardest part for me to wrap my head around. But that is what we’re looking at.
8:00:Clayton Morris: So just so I can understand exactly, the idea is the governments were offloading these operations to these stand behind armies that were really third party defense, you know, contractors, blackwater, etc. to basically rape and pillage the land, steal resources, but they get to do it under a third party, sort of an NGO rather than direct US military. This is still in existence today. We can see it in Somalia. We can see it in Syria. We’re there protecting Syria’s oil fields, right? We’re there to protect the Syrian people and their oil from themselves, right? So, this is still happening today, right? It is still happening today. So now that you have that picture in your mind, 👉It’s important to understand their mantra is to create chaos so they can control.👈
9:00: And my my wonderful husband who puts up with me doing all of this research, because I spend about 12 hours a day doing it. Um came in one day and he said, “Hey, do you remember that TV show we used to watch called Get Smart?” And I said, ‘Yeah.’ And he goes, “Well, do you remember what the name of the two organizations were?” And I said, “No.” And he said, “It was called Chaos and Control.” And I looked at him and I went, “Oh my god.” Because that is exactly what they do. They go in and create chaos with these stay-behind units, which I call terrorist organizations, and just as you did. And it is done to control the people in that particular area so that these oligarch vultures can come in and monopolize the resources.
10:00: So going back to the beginning there was a secret meeting that most people have never even heard of called Operation Sunrise. It was conducted before the World War II was even over and the main players on the US side were Allan Dulles and a man by the name of Major General Lyman Limitsker. I like to tell the story of Operation Gladio through the use of people because the same people keep coming up over and over again.
Clayton Morris: Please can you, for our audience, if they’re not familiar with Alan Dulles, can maybe you just briefly explain who he is?
Colonel Towner: So Allan Dulles is one of the elites from the northeast. His brother John Foster Dulles was Eisenhower’s Secretary of State. Allan Dulles was the CIA director. They worked for a law firm called Sullivan and Cromwell. Sullivan and Cromwell’s famous clients were many of these oligarchs that I’m talking about. Sullivan and Cromwell was instrumental in the United States taking over the rest of the building of the Panama Canal from France. There was some slight of hand because we were actually in the middle of building a Nicaraguan canal and this French company went bankrupt that had the charter to build the Panama Canal. Through some slight of hand, John Foster Dallas, on behalf of Sullivan and Cromwell, was deployed to Paris to take up that mantra. It’s a long story but it ended up with the United States taking over the rest of the building of the Panama Canal. And most people don’t even know that it started off as a French project. And they used French colonial slaves from Africa to do the work for the first 40% of the Panama Canal. Alan Dulles also worked at this same law firm. So they represent the interests of these oligarchs.
12:15: Now think about that for a second. In Eisenhower’s administration, you have one of the premier lawyers as your secretary of state for these oligarchs and the other guy is sitting as the CIA director. Do you think they’re working on behalf of the United States? No!They’re working on behalf of their clients, which is not the United States. It is these oligarchs. And you find that time and time again between the CIA and the Secretary of State.
You have, I think it’s like nine, either number two or number one at the Secretary of State that are from the Skull and Bone Secret Society at Yale. They go to Groten, a grooming school. They go to Yale. Then they end up at Harvard Law and then they go into the government. They don’t work for us. They work for these oligarchs.
Clayton Morris:The same Skull and Bones of course that George W. Bush was a part of, John Kerry was a part of this secret system.
Colone Towner: And where did John Kerry end up at? — the Secretary of State Where did George H. W. Bush end up? At the CIA.
Clayton Morris: And George W. Bush, who was also a member, president of the United States.
Colone Towner: It’s a pattern that keeps repeating itself.
13:30 Clayton Morris: So how widespread then would you say were Gladio’s stay-behind networks across NATO l and NATO countries and how involved was the US in their coordination? So we think of NATO after World War II all across Europe these armies sort of set up and structured how involved was the US in this disbursement and how widespread was it? What we talking thousands of people?
14:00: Colonel Towner: You’re talking tens of thousands of people, if not hundreds of thousands of people. So, let me go back to Operation Sunrise because it’s critical people understand why we ratlined Nazis out of Germany. It wasn’t just because of Operation Paperclip. They went all over the world, not just to the United States. This meeting with Alan Dulles and Lyman Lemnitzer was with a particular Nazi general by the last name of Wolff. That’s important because stay-behind units originally were called werwolf units in Germany under Hitler.
In Turkey today, they’re called greywolf units. That is another common denominator. So these werwolf units, as Hitler pushed into the Soviet Union, they were set up in Ukraine, which we still see today. Because the Ukrainian Nazi symbolism is directly related back to Bandera and Lebed and several other Nazis that were personally trained by Otto Scorzini who worked for both Reinhardt Galen and General Wolff. So the seeds of what we’re seeing in Ukraine today were bore out of these stay-behind units.
15:25: So Operation Sunrise was so important that basically Wolff bought his ,Galen’s and Otto Scorzini’s freedom out of either not being prosecuted at Nuremberg , –because Wolff and Galen was not and Otto Scorzeny stood trial, but he was found not guilty. Now this is a guy who trained all of the stay-behind Werwolf units in Nazi Germany. [Note that the CIA run WIKI down plays the werwolf units asserting historians say“ that the plan barely existed.” Google diverts the search to Werewolf. – GC] So in the aftermath of that [WWII] they flew Reinhardt Galen — and keep in mind he becomes the de-Nazified West Germany’s Allen Dulles counterpart at the what they call the BND — So he is in charge of their spy organization and Allan Dulles becomes in charge of the CIA. And they both orchestrated the spreading of the stay-behind units all over the world.
was an Austrian-born German SS-Standartenführer in the Waffen-SSduring World War II. …he was charged in 1947 at the Dachau Military Tribunal.. He was allegedly an advisor to Argentinian president Juan Perón.[2][3] Skorzeny acted as an agent of Mossad, allegedly assisting with the execution of actions such as Operation Diamond….
…
16:15: I found them in Iran when we overthrew Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953. They were in Guatemala when we overthrew that government, the year after Operation Condor. Operation Condor is kind of the kissing cousin of Gladio in Latin America. They were scattered throughout all of Latin America. They’re all over Africa. They were all over Asia.
Clayton Morris: Who are these people though? Are they American soldiers?
Colonel Towner: They are the people that were scattered in all of these disparate places. So the concept was to take normal everyday citizens in a country. and I’ll specifically talk about Italy because as you mentioned in 1990 Italy was the only one that did an in-depth investigation. That’s the reason why this entire network is now referred to as Operation Gladio. Every country called it something else like in Portugal they called it Aginter Press and I mentioned Turkey they called it Greywolves.
17:15: The French version was OAS [Organisation armée secrète ]. So they all had different names, but they’ve now all generically been called Operation Gladio because Italy was the only one that did an in-depth investigation. In Italy, what they did to recruit these people is they went into towns and there were like 15 people. They were given caches of weapons to include rifles, C4 explosives, communication equipment and money. [The Caches] they were buried in normally a wooded area so that when they got the call they could fall in on this cache of weapons and do whatever the mission was. And as you said the majority — all of the missions not the majority ALL of the missions were domestic terrorism.
18:10: And the only two people that the SDECE, which was the organization in Italy, just call it their central intelligence, their version of the CIA. The only two people of those 15 member units that they knew was the leader and the assistant leader. They didn’t know any of the names of the other citizens, and that’s why they called them werwolf units. They were citizens by day and killers by night. And the there was there were thousands of these units all over Italy. And this same thing, as a matter of fact, William Colby, a future CIA director, set them up in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. You know, Sweden, the “neutral” country? They were everywhere.
19:00: Clayton Morris: So, they were given money. So, I mean, I guess I’m just trying to understand the motivation of these people. In the same way that we see today when you have these like Bernie Sanders rallies and the whatever, patriot rallies they had back in this early part of the summer. We know that through George Soros funded groups, they were given hundreds of dollars, thousands of dollars. Any of these protesters that want to come out and be agitators, they’re paid. Paid. We know this from Tik Tok influencers and others. So, what’s the motivation? Is it really just at the heart money or were they real were they somehow patriots in a way that we just didn’t understand?
19:30: Colonel Towner: I don’t know. A lot of people have been, and I can draw the analogy back then. There were a lot of people that were genuinely scared about the communists. I certainly was. I went through the drills of getting under my desk when I was a little kid. We were all taught that the communists any day was going to come across the Bulgar Gap [Iskar Gorge?} in Europe and annihilate everybody. But if you think back to 1948, the Soviet Unions had over 50 million people killed. Most of their industrial base had been destroyed. And the thought that there was a communist threat at the time is literally ridiculous. Not to say that communism is good or anything else. And yes, there was later on a Soviet threat, but not at the time this entire operation was being set up. So you go into a community who had just been ruled by Mussolini, a fascist dictator for decades. You tell them that there is this new boogeyman in town, and they’re much worse than Mussolini. They’re atheists. They’re going to destroy the Catholic Church, which of course is sacred in Italy. So, it wouldn’t be hard to find people who are patriots to volunteer to protect their town from this imminent threat. But again, that was never the intended purpose.
21:15: It’s not unlike the brainwashing that is going on with the propaganda in the United States right now, calling Trump a fascist. It is literally the same playbook. And they did this in country after country after country. And generally in every one of those countries, there was some resource that they wanted.
21:27: Indonesia: We went into Indonesia. We tried to coup the government of Sukarno and failed. Then we regrouped and overthrew that government a few years later because there were two resources there that both the Rockefeller family and the Dutch Royal Petroleum [Shell Oil] knew was there that they had never told the Indonesian people was there. There was a mountian, a literal mountain full of gold, the purest gold they had ever found and an untapped oil reserve that they kept secret. And in both of those cases, after they overthrew the government of Sukarno and installed their puppet government of Suharto, the Rockefellers and the
Dutch oil [Shell Oil] went in there and basically, again, it’s a long story, but they basically stole a lot of that by saying, “Oh, it’s not that pure.” Either the oil or the gold, and lied on what they were remitting back as the royalties to the Indonesian people. And that’s after they killed a million of them in the coup.
22:40: Clayton Morris: 👉So [in] all of these instances where Operation Gladio was set up, it’s because of some sort of a resource, a mineral resource or something in that country.👈 👉They used communism as the boogeyman,👈 the Soviets are going to invade Indonesia. They’re going to take over this territory. They’re going to come to Sukarno. They’re going to take over this territory. They’re coming to Italy next. And so we need to have these armies created, a sort of a militia if you will
23:06: Colonel Towner: Correct.
Clayton Morris: What was their mission then? So in the case of Italy I mentioned Bolognia. Maybe you could talk a little bit about some of these terrorist activities that created these false flag events.
23:17: Colonel Towner: Well originally their first operation in Italy was in 1948. It was the
election. There were two people running that were kind of the odds on favorite of being the prime minister and one of them was very pro- NATO. Oh my god, we got to get a NATO. One of them again because of Mussolini did not want to have anything to do with NATO. They wanted their country back. Of course that person is labeled a communist sympathizer. And the CIA used $10 million in 1948, $10 million to influence that election to ensure the pro-NATO guy got involved.
24:00: That was their first official interference in elections. It wasn’t their last, but it was their first. And that that’s the entire time that we’ve been talking about election interference. To me, it has been blatantly obvious both with the 1916 election and the 2020 election that the CIA is behind both of them. If you look at where Gina Haspel was as the London CIA station chief with the creation of the Steel Dossier, they are still intimately involved in election interference all around the world.
24:50: Clayton Morris: So would you say Operation Gladio is still alive and well today, just under a different name?
Colonel Towner:100%. That’s why I think it’s critical that people understand not only it and how it functioned early on.
25:00: Let’s go back to Lyman Lemnitzer [& Wikispooksnotes-GC] because with the JFK files you don’t hear anyone talking about this, but now that you understand the massive scope of Operation Gladio.
Lyman Lemnitzer was General Eisenhower chief of logistics in Europe. What’s that mean? Logistics in the military means that’s the guy that’s critical to get supplies where they’re needed. So, who would have been getting all of the weapons in Europe, now that the war is over, to these caches of weapons for Operation Gladio. It would have been General Lyman Lemnitzer. That’s why he’s
at this meeting [Operation Sunrise] in order to not only understand where all of the caches are that the Nazis set up, but they’re [NATO is] planning to put them all over Europe. So, he’s the logistics guy and he’s the guy that goes with Alan Dulles to this meeting.
26:00: Now, where’s the next time that we come to Lyman Limiter? Well, he ends up becoming a four-star general and he’s the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when JFK gets into office. Lyman Lemnitzer knows all about Operation Gladio. He’s the author of Operations Northwood. Do you know what that is?
26:20:Clayton Morris:I do, but can you educate our audience on this?
Colonel Towner: Operation Northwood was a document that is declassified, several pages. What it is, it is a laundry list of terrorist operations to be conducted inside the United States, killing American citizens and blaming Castro. It articulates that we’re going to dress Cuban exiles that are basically our Gladio elements, in the United States and were for decades. — Brigade 256.
Felix Rodriguez, the guy that Tucker interviewed about six months ago, he’s an assassin. He was part of Brigade 256. If you go back and look at that interview, he’s wearing the t-shirt, literally. And he was in El Salvador. He was in Nicaragua. He was in Guatemala. He was in Vietnam during the Phoenix program. He is one of them.
So this Operation Northwood was to take some of the CIA trained Cuban exiles in Miami, dress them up in Castro uniforms, have them go do bombings just like we were talking about in Italy. killing people, blaming Castro, and then justifying a full-scale military invasion of Cuba in order to overthrow Castro. That’s what Operation Northwood was. He briefed it to Robert S. McNamara, the Secretary of Defense and Robert McNamara didn’t find anything wrong with it. He said, “Hey, let’s go brief this to JFK.” When JFK read Operation Gladio, he’s like, “Are you out of your mind? We’re not going to kill Americans for any reason.” So, he fired General Lemnitzer. Unfortunately, and this clearly indicates to me that JFK did not know the extent of Operation Gladio, and this hydra that had been set up. He had just survived the Bay of Pigs and didn’t want any more military pissed off at him. So, he didn’t fire, fire him and make him retire. He reassigned him out of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
28:30: And do you know where they put him?
Clayton Morris: No.
Colonel Towner: He became the commander of NATO.
And do you know that the French OAS [Organisation armée secrète ] that were trained by Operation Gladio trainer Otto Skorzeny, a Nazi [former Nazi officer. -GC] Their OAS had two, depending on who you read, some people say four operatives in Dallas, Texas the day JFK was murdered.
There are documents talking about people speaking French up on the grassy knoll. Those two OAS agents, one was flown out of Dallas that night, the other one was driven by a Dallas police officer to the Mexican border.
29:10: Clayton Morris:The more you, you know. The more you study JFK and you realize how many people he pissed off, right? It’s not surprising at all that you have the mafia involved, you have you have, the Israelis involved, you have the CIA involved, members of NATO involved who trying to upend Operation Gladio. He pissed a lot of people off.
Colonel Towner: Yes. And he also was in direct contact with Sukarno over in Indonesia and had already scheduled a visit to see him in January 1964. They knew that if he ever went to see Sukarno and figured out what they were doing that they would all be in trouble. So that meeting was never going to be allowed to happen.
30:10: A lot of people think General Eisenhower was a great guy. Let let me just assure you, he was not. Not only did he oversee the creation of Operation Gladio while he was in Europe, when he becomes president, he’s the guy that overthrew Iran, he’s the guy that used this organization to overthrow the president in Guatemala. And what was the issue in Guatemala? Bananas. who owned all of the Guatemalan farmland. [ United Fruit now Chiquita] You know that thing that we think is absolutely horrible if China owns our farmland. Well, a US oligarch owned the majority of Guatemalan’s farmland and that was United Fruit. And one of the primary stockholders of United Fruit was the Dallas brothers and the Rockefellers. And so they decided when Guatemalan president gets elected he said that he did not want any foreigners owning farmland. Imagine that. And the irony of everything that’s happening right now just blows my mind. Because what’s happening in America today is what our government has done on behalf of these oligarchs all over the world.

So what do they do? They planned Operation PBSuccess which was the name of the operation to overthrow the Guatemalan president and that was [blessed by] General Eisenhower. Also, one of the very last things he [Eisenhower] did was issue a findings ,which is what it’s called when you order the assassination of a foreign head of state, to kill Patrice Lumumba [first prime minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.] They killed Patrice Lumumba three days before JFK came into office. JFK was in office for at least three weeks before he knew that his CIA was complicit in killing Lumumba. He didn’t even know he was dead because they had kidnapped him. And how did they do that? What was the lead-up to that? Well, the Congo had uranium. They were the number one supplier of uranium. Uranium obviously was very important at the time because of the atomic weapons. The Congo had just gotten its independence from being a colony of Belgium for 350 years.
Patrice Lumumba, their first prime minister had said, “We do not want Belgium to continue to get rich off of our uranium. We want to deal directly with the United States. He flies to the United States and the vice president [Nixon] will not meet him. Eisenhower will not meet him. So he’s stuck going to see the Secretary of State [Christian Herter.] And he tells the secretary of state, “I’ll sell you 100% of our uranium, but I don’t want
Belgium profiting from it.” They told him to pound sand. And he goes back and he says, “Okay, well, if you’re not going to deal with me, I I know now that I’ve made this very clear and you made it very clear that you don’t like my stance on this. Um, the IMF is immediately turned off. The World Bank won’t talk to him. So, they economically strangle him and he has only one option to get weapons for what he knows is going to come. The only person that at that point will answer his phone is the Soviet Union.
What happens as soon as that phone call is made? They call him a communist. He’s not a communist. But because they call him a communist, — it started with Truman actually, 10-2, a national security action memorandum says if you are labeled a communist, we have the right to kill you — And so Eisenhower issues a finding to kill Lumumba.
JFK didn’t know about this. And you know, we all know that that four months from the time you’re a president-elect until you take um office that you are supposed to be being updated with intelligence briefings of what you’re walking into. He knew nothing about it.
34:30: Clayton Morris:This Mumba story, we’ve covered this before on our show and all of the secrecy around it and not allowing JFK to be aware of this um in the leadup to his presidency that this was carried out. There’s some I think there was some speculation that he did know about it or he was somehow briefed on it or whatever. but I have not seen anything conclusive on that. So you haven’t either then right?
Colonel Towner: I have not seen anything that he was briefed on it. I have seen statements from CIA officers that says he was not.
…the Belgian rule of the Congo was marked by brutality. About 10 million Congolese people were killed during King Leopold’s reign alone — which lasted from 1885 to 1908. Countless others were mutilated for failing to meet production quotas for rubber, ivory, and minerals.
And even when the Congo became a Belgian colony — under control of the Belgian government rather than just one man — that didn’t mean the brutality came to an end. Many Congolese people were still forced into labor and abused by the Belgians who remained in the country.
Plus, the Congolese were considered second-class citizens in their own country. Before 1958, native Congolese couldn’t vote, hold office or high-ranking positions in the army, or attend Belgian universities….
A father in the Congo looks down at his child’s hand and foot, which were cut off when he didn’t meet his rubber production quota. Circa 1904.
Clayton Morris: So that’s just one example. We have Guatemala as another example. We have Italy as another example. How many people do you think have been killed?
Colonel Towner: Millions
Clayton Morris: Do we have a number of how many people were at the hands of these NATO stay behind armies?
Colonel Towner: Not directly. Because of the overthrows of these governments like in Indonesia, a million people ended up dying. We destabilized Cambodia. Pol Pot coming to power was a direct result of a CIA instigated coup. We had people there training in Cambodia. We had people training in Laos.
USAID & THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC SAFETY
35:50: One of the most devastating parts of all of this is how much of our federal government was infected with it. You mentioned earlier USAID. USAID had an office called the Office of Public Safety. The Office of Public Safety is one of those things that once you start researching it, your mind just explodes. They recruited former cops from all over the United States and they trained them to go into these countries that they were going to destabilize to train national police forces. This is how they did Mosaddegh [The Prime Minister of Iran from 1951 to 1953 who overthrew the Shaw & nationalized the huge British oil holdings in Iran. -GC] After Mosaddegh,[coup of the Shah] they had stay-behinds in southern Iran leading up to the overthrow of Mosaddegh. I didn’t know that until last week. I had never found any trace of stay-behinds in Iran, although I’ve researched Iran extensively, until literally last week. They had a military advisory group down there. The CIA was down there. After they overthrew Mosaddegh, they set up, under the guise of USAID, Office of Public Safety, what a weird name, under General Norman Schwarzoff SENIOR, the desert storm guy’s dad. He created the Savack. [Secret police, domestic security and intelligence service in Iran during the reign of the Pahlavi dynasty -GC] He trained the Savack under the Office of Public Safety. The Savack is a terrorist organization that basically kidnapped, tortured, and disappeared people that disagreed with the Shaw. You will find the office of public safety in like 50 or 60 different countries around the world and every one of them was done after the CIA installs a dictator there.
37:35: Clayton Morris: So this office of public safety is it under, what umbrella is it under?
Colonel Towner: USAID.
Clayton Morris: So, it’s under USAID. Have these recent changes to USAID and the disbanding of it, has that affected it? Cut it off?
37:50: Colonel Towner: The Office of Public Safety actually was done away with in 1974 because it came under intense scrutiny by Congress in the 1975, you know, family jewels of the CIA investigations. No one was held accountable. As a matter of fact, when you go back and look, at Operation Phoenix in Vietnam, which we know to be basically the same thing. It was torturing, kidnapping, and assassinating anyone that went against the puppet government that had been installed in the South.
38:30: Operation Phoenix was ran by the Michigan State University. [Also WIKI on Phoenix Program] A lot of people don’t know that Michigan State University hired CIA agents, literal agents, not fronts, not assets, agents. They dressed them up as professors and they deployed them to Vietnam basically to set up the Phoenix program. What I just recently learned is Indiana University, my old alma mater, was working as a partnership with Michigan State in that initiative and they deployed over to Operation Phoenix um under the guise of USAID, Office of Public Safety, and set up this apparatus of training. They set up torture prisons. You find a guy by the name of Dan Mitrione , who I’ve covered extensively. He was the police chief in Richmond, Indiana.
He was trained by the FBI. He sent his officers to Indiana University’s police training. This the same training partnership with Michigan State. He was selected as a part of the office of public safety. He was first deployed to Brazil right before their coup. Then you find him in Uruguay with their new military installed dictator there. And he was instrumental in training people how to torture people, how to kidnap people. And much of the torture led to the people dying. And that’s just one aspect of it. Not the entirey of these national police going out and literally bombing people’s houses just because they were suspected of resisting the military dictatorship that we had installed there. And so again, tens of thousands in every single one of these operations.
They were in Argentina. Argentina took their prisoners because they didn’t want to dig the graves, loaded them up on aircraft and flew them out over the ocean and dumped them out. So, it’s almost impossible to get a body count of the number of people that have been affected by these programs.
40:50: Clayton Morris: We talked about Operation Northwoods, which is really an extension of Operation Gladio. Has there been any other on on domestic US soil that we know of that would fall under the Operation Gladio umbrella? False flag attacks on the United States. I mean, other than 9-11, in the United States.
41:10: Colonel Towner: We had Gladio operators that killed the Chilean ambassador that got stuck here. He was here, and he couldn’t go back because of the, assassination of President SalvadorAllende in Chile. Ambassador Orlando Letelier is his name. One of the Cuban exiles, I think two went to prison. They were trained Gladio people, went to Washington DC and ignited a car bomb, killing him and an American citizen, his aid, in downtown Washington DC. They were also implicated in the overthrow of Nixon. They were implicated in the assassination of JFK and RFK. when he was assassinated. If you trace the people that really did it not, Sirhan Sirhan, they were tied to the Cuban exiles and the CIA.
Clayton Morris: And MK Ultra mind control. I’ve done deep dives on MK Ultra of course, the CIA’s secret mind control brainwashing program to carry out nefarious things. Are there any blending here across Operation Gladadio and MK Ultra?
JIM JONES OF ‘DRINK THE KOOL-AID’
42:25: Colonel Towner: [Laugh] I’m glad that you asked that question. Do you know who Jim Jones is?
Clayton Morris: Sure.
Colonel Towner: Okay. Do you know where Jim Jones hometown was?
Clayton Morris: San Francisco, right?
Colonel Towner:Richmond, Indiana.
Clayton Morris: Oh, right. But Okay. When he really started getting going and building his church he moved his church to San Francisco.
Colonel Towner:Right. Jim Jones was classmates with Dan Meteron, the guy I just talked about.
Clayton Morris: Come on. [Laugh]
Colonel Towner: I’m not even kidding.
Clayton Morris: I give up. I swear to God. I mean, you know, I just try to go through my days as like a normal human being and all of these pieces, it’s just unbelievable to me on a regular basis. You’re blowing my mind.
Colonel Towner: Okay, so Jim Jones moves his “church” [Air quotes] out to San Francisco. He is almost immediately approved as a foster home in San Francisco, right? If you go back and you do the research, you find out that the mayor of San Francisco kills himself because he was one of the purveyors of the children in Jim Jones little compound. Jim Jones was part of the Democrat vote running that was going on both in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He was intimately involved in all kinds of nefarious things. What I didn’t know when I started looking into Jim Jones — I don’t have any concrete evidence evidence that while in San Francisco he was part of MK Ultra. I do have evidence of him being involved when he relocated to Guyana.
44:00: Why did he relocate to Guyana? The reason he did is because Congressman Leo Ryan, the only active congressional member to ever be assassinated on duty, began an investigation into Jim Jones and the CIA, into the operation that they were running out in San Francisco. So Jim Jones, because the pressure is getting to him, he relocates his commune to Jonestown. Well, I had already came across evidence that Jonestown existed long before Jim Jones moved his church there. It was used as a terrorist training camp for Operation Condor in Latin America. So, he had ships. He was going from Brazil to Guyana with weapons. They were using them against Venezuela in order to protect who? Rockefeller’s oil interests in Venezuela. So anybody in Venezuela that became a problem was taken out launched from Jonestown in Guyana.
45:10: So all these people show up and if you go back and read the autopsy of the local guyan coroner, you find out that none of those people were poisoned with cyanide. They all had injection sites at the base of their neck. If you read Colonel Purdy’s(sp?) book, you find out that the body bags for
those people were ordered the day before the massacre even happened. [For?] to the Joint Chiefs of Staff to fly the body bags in. And despite having flown the body bags in, they [the bodies] were left out for two weeks. So no one could see any of the evidence because it was hundred and some degrees there and their bodies began decomposing. And so a person that had been working for Jim Jones before all of the massacre happened had said that they were a whistleblower and got Leo Ryan to fly to
Guyana because they were going to reveal all of the nefarious things that he had alleged already, and he’s assassinated when he lands on the tarmac.
46:20:Clayton Morris: So cyanide was not used? I mean we had like over 300 children 300 children given like we you know drink heard like the flavor aid or whatever they were all drinking. It was not Kool-Aid. It was flavor aid. So right.
Colonel Towner: None of that happened.
Clayton Morris: You’re blowing my mind. None of that happened. They were, they had injections and of course Yeah, you’re right. They were left out. We have the visuals. We have the images of the I think it was the famous Newsweek cover, right? The aerial photographs from high up where you see them out in the sun. They’ve been sitting out. The bodies have been rotting in the sun for weeks.
Colonel Towner: Yes.
Clayton Morris: It’s s unbelievable. I just I don’t even know what to ask. I’m just blown away. You’re blowing my mind. I’ll let you run with I mean, put the pieces together for me because I’m just I’m just… [Shakes head]
FUNDING THE CIA & OPERATION GLADIO
Colonel Towner: So, the part we haven’t talked about is how’ they get the money to do all of this because it was all done covertly off the books. How’d they get the money?
At the end of World War II, you had a civil war going on in China. You had Mao fighting against ChiangKai–shek and other warlords in the south. Well, Colonel Paul Helliwell was one of the OSS officers who was somehow also in the military. I’ve come across a lot of that happening by the way.
Colonel Paul Helliwell was a military attache to ChiangKai–shek during World War II and he’s watching ChiangKai–shek pay for his military efforts against Mao by selling opium. Now there’s a long story of Indian opium flooding China at this time under the auspices of the British Empire who basically owned India, the boxer wars, all of that stuff. So ChiangKai–shek had a model of funding his revolution with drug money. So Paul Helliwell picks up the phone and he says, “Hey Allan Dulles, I got a great way to pay for that Operation Gladio thing that you’re kicking off. We could do it with drug money. It’s untraceable. It’s cash. Let’s do that.” And so they make a deal with ChiangKai–shek that they’re going to supply him military aid to fight Mao under the guise of anti-communism.
ChiangKai–shek gets kicked out of China. Eventually they move him to Burma. So Shanghai sets up his opium operation out of Burma. The Burmese government eventually kicks him out. So there’s this tiny little island over here called Formosa. We now call it Taiwan. But Formosa at the time was Japanese occupied. It’s a Chinese island. It was occupied during World War II by the Japanese and so under the guise of going onto Formosa to get the rest of the Japanese out of there, there are US people present. Well, they move ChiangKai–shek and his KMT army of drug smugglers over to Formosa.
And if you go through the first several, and I just pulled out of my notes, the first several State Department [people], they weren’t ambassadors at the time, that were in Taiwan. And the first several CIA chiefs, you find them also involved in other Operation Gladio destabilization efforts. So, for example, the first station chief, assigned in 1949 to Formosa, now called Taiwan, was Raymond Pierce. He was an OSS veteran who had parachuted to set up the KMT in Burma. He also was part of the Western Enterprise, Inc., which was a CIA front company headquartered in Taiwan that arranged arms to go into Formosa but not officially. It was black market arms. He also moved on to work with radio nets, opium finance, weapon drops, and other activity. I didn’t know until I started doing this research that Taiwan wasn’t just one island. It’s seven. And the KMT was set up on all of those islands after World War II after they kicked ChiangKai–shek out, to launch military operations into China to destabilize it.
One of the former ambassadors was involved in the destabilization of Tibet. And again, until I did this research, I didn’t know that we had an entire contingent of stay-behind units in Tibet. So, what we did was we took Tibetans, we flew them into Colorado to a an abandoned World War II base, taught them how to be terrorists, and then took them back out to Tibet for them to launch attacks internal to China as well. We did the same thing with the Uyghurs, by the way. We use Nepal for that. We took Uyghurs out of China, trained them in Nepal to be terrorists.
Clayton Morris: All in an effort to destabilize China.
Colonel Towner: Yes. So Taiwan now is the drug hub. ChiangKai–shek, immediately implements martial law. For the next 40 years in Taiwan, up until Richard Nixon actually recognizes China, going into the early 80s, Taiwan was under a dictatorship, under martial law. They were not a democracy at all. ChiangKai–shek, his son, and one other guy were the rulers, the dictators in Taiwan. So it is not a coincidence that in the immediate aftermath of having to recognize mainland China and we can no longer call Taiwan the Republic of China because they’re not. Another one of those oligarchical companies decided Taiwan is going to be where we put all of our semiconductors, because we have to have an excuse to defend Taiwan and we just lost it when they recognized mainland China. So now we have another excuse.
THE VATICAN BANK
You can’t overstate the importance of this drug network that was ran out of the golden triangle with Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and that entire region because they used the Vatican bank to money launder all of the drug money. And that’s another reason why Italy was critical to the exposure of Operation Gladio. The P2 Masonic Lodge was set up. Licio Gelli was the guy that was running the P2 Lodge. That’s how they met. They met under the guise of this Masonic lodge. There was like 800 names eventually released that belong to this P2 Masonic lodge. And according to Vatican rules, you’re not even allowed to be a Mason and be a Catholic. So, how are all of these Catholics belonging to the Masonic Lodge? P2 also shows up in Operation Condor. Their subsidiary was in Argentina and that’s how they were able to coordinate. And it’s not coincidental that when we lost the Golden Triangle, we moved to Afghanistan. That’s when we went in in the 1980s because of course in the 70s we lost control of Asia’s drug market. So we go to Afghanistan. There’s opium there. It’s not a coincidence that in the year 2000 the Taliban had eradicated almost all of the opium and the next year we have 911 and immediately we go back into Afghanistan because Bin Laden just so happens to be in Afghanistan. And what happens to the opium production? It skyrockets right back up. And Operation Condor created the ability, the control mechanisms to move a lot of the drug apparatus to Latin America. That’s why Colombia has been so important to the drug networking into the United States. So they set up all kinds of banks. The Bank of Commerce, Credit and Commerce International, BCCI, Castle Bank, Paul Helliwell actually set that bank up in the Caribbean. And Nugan Hand Bank
was set up in Australia. Those banks in conjunction with the Vatican was the money laundering apparatus to facilitate this entire network.
55:55: Clayton Morris: Do you think anyone in the Trump administration is as fully versed on this as you and is actively trying to eradicate this or is deep state forces so entrenched that this is perpetuating at a much larger level than even we knew about in the 1940s and 50s?
Colonel Towner: So I have to believe if they don’t know all of what I know, they know a lot of what I know because they wouldn’t have gone after USAID the way they did. because a lot of the facilitation of this has moved into USAID. USAID is a CIA front. The interaction between those two both in personnel and in mission is intrinsically linked.
Clayton Morris: How so?
Colonel Towner: Well, for example, the Office of Public Safety. I’m reviewing a book right now called Hidden Terrors, by A. J. Langguth,. That book illustrates that the Office of Public Safety actually had CIA agents working in it and that’s under USAID. That is just one. The Office of Transition Initiatives is another one that had CIA embedded in it. It functions as a CIA front.
Clayton Morris: How much of this is still left? Because we know some of it has been rolled into the State Department under Marco Rubio. A lot of it has been cut off, these people packing their boxes up and leaving. But how much of do you think this operation might have been rolled under into the State Department, which in many ways is as equally nefarious as the CIA?
Colonel Towner: Well, as my research has shown, ambassador after ambassador. They specifically move particular ambassadors to locations that they are going to destabilize with CIA and USAID operations. You find the same ambassadors showing up all the time.
One of the most intriguing guys that I ran across that I had never heard about before was William D. Pawley. He was supposedly this multi-millionaire businessman living in South Florida. Pawley Island in South Carolina is actually named after his family, a very wealthy family. And he ends up becoming an ambassador. He was the assistant Secretary of State at one point. Him and Paul Helliwell were very good friends and he owned the franchise of Curtis Aircraft in Southeast Asia. So he’s the guy that literally gave ChiangKai–shek all his aircraft. They set up sea supply together to give him a
navy. And he owned the bus system and several large sugar plantations in Cuba. He used his personal yacht to take a group of Cuban exiles to Cuba for a land invasion. He’s an ambassador out of the State Department! he also worked on the Guatemalan coup with a guy by the name of Tommy the Cork Corcoran who is CIA.
Tommy ‘the Cork’ Corcoran and El Pulpo
He [Pawley] also was an executive at Pan Am and Pan Am was often time used for cargo shipments for the CIA. So when you start researching these people, they go in and out of the oligarch class into the State Department and back in order to ensure their vested interests are what we’re after and not the interest of the United States as a country, right?
59:50: Clayton Morris: Oh, clearly. Yeah.
Colonel Towner: He’s fascinating. He’s mentioned in a book called The Legacy of Ashes. He literally went to a bank and pulled out $150,000 after meeting with President Eisenhower to buy three planes for the Guatemalan coup.
1:00:10:Clayton Morris: It’s funny I’ve interviewed Tim Weiner on that book. It came out years ago back when I was still working at Fox News at the time. I interviewed him about that and his book Legacy of Ashes and I read that years ago. You’re just refreshing my memory. It’s been it’s been a number of years now, but it’s remarkable. And you see it in the United States even in the book like Chaos about the history of the CIA in the 1960s in California and of course the infiltration of the CIA and all of these groups, you know, infiltrating the the hippie movement in Berkeley. it’s all happening right on the United States soil. It’s hard for Americans to believe it, right?
Colonel Towner: It was, certainly, having spent 30 years in the military, hard for me to believe that all of this stuff happened. And I was completely ignorant of all of it. And again, I’m educated, so I thought you are educated in what they want you to know. And if you start using internet search engines that pick up foreign news articles and things like that. Now again one of the things I have not told you is in 1990 when Italy first exposed Operation Gladio. I know the date because of Paul Williams book called Operation Gladio and I’ve interviewed him a couple of times on my podcast. It stuck out to me like a sore thumb because the 2nd of August 1990 is the very day I arrived at the Rome airport for my three-year assignment in Italy. So I’m reading his book a couple of years ago and I’m like 2nd of August 1990. [HUH?) What I noticed about Italy in the three years that I lived there, during this exposure operation, they were gunning down judges that were hearing cases about Operation Gladio, they were killing prosecutors. They were killing reporters. And I just thought that there was a crap ton of mafia in Italy. I had I never heard the words Operation Gladio. They called it “the years of lead”. I didn’t know anything about what was going on. I didn’t know it was all part of this. I didn’t speak Italian. But I heard my landlord and their daughters talking about it who spoke English. And I never put two and two together. What I also realized is if you [Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti ] are behind Operation Gladio, you know it’s being ran out of NATO. So he reveals this in August and all of the other NATO countries go we don’t have anything like that. That must have been just something Italy did. Well, October was a NATO planning meeting for Operation Gladio. There were two cells in NATO. One was called the Allied clandestine planning. The other one was called CPC. And one of them had a meeting in October. So Andreotti, the prime minister that exposed it in August, comes back on television in November of 1990 and said, “Hey, all you guys that said you didn’t have anything to do with Operation Gladio, here’s the list of the countries that had just just attended the planning meeting.” He told
on all of them. And so again, what I remember about the 2nd of August is getting off the aircraft at the international terminal and going into the airport. Now, it’s my first time overseas as a a military officer, and for every person that was in the Rome airport that day. There’s about 20 Carabinieri with AK-47s. And I’m like, what the heck did I just do? I had no idea that international airports were so militarized. What the heck is going on? That was the exact same day that Saddam Hussein had been given State Department authority to invade Kuwait.
And do you know what the convenient thing that all of the NATO countries said after the 2nd of August 1990 as to why they couldn’t answer any questions about Operation Gladio? We got to go to war. We’re too busy. We’re planning a war. We’re too busy to answer questions about something.
Clayton Morris: We’re too busy. We’re planning a war. We’re too busy to answer questions about something that’s a cold war relic. We can’t talk about it even though it was still happening. That’s amazing to me that well and and it’s convenient that Italy could use you know these are just mafia hits. So don’t you know don’t look any more deeply into this. We’re killing prosecutors. So the prosecutors that were killed, the judges that were killed, they were hearing cases about Operation Gladio. Yes. And what were the prosecutors zeroing in on? Who were they going after that that led them to be shot and killed?
Colonel Towner: Well, understand that Prime Minister Andreotti eventually goes to jail. It went to the very top of Italy. It involved the Vatican. It involved Lucio Gelli, the guy that was the P2 Masonic Grand Puba, whatever you call him. The bankers, Roberto Calvi, the guy that gets strung up on a bridge in London, the Banco Ambrosiano. The Vatican had so much money that they were laundering, they couldn’t do it by themselves. So they involved Italian banks. The chief of the military intelligence, the chief of the military, basically their Secretary of Defense, they were all involved in it.
Clayton Morris: Carrying out these operations.
Colonel Towner: Yes. The train bombing, the bank bombings, all of them.
Clayton Morris: The Bologna massacre. All of it. All of it.
Colonel Towner: Yes. Tied together. The attempted assassination on John Paul. II was two Greywolf Gladio people from Turkey. That’s who eventually went to jail for that attempted assassination. They were part of Operation Gladio.
Clayton Morris: You know, since you’ve already blown my mind enough, I mean, talking about Jonestown and all of these connections here and I think about like the USS Liberty false flag. Yes. under Lynden Baines Johnson, of course, all the way up to MOSSAD and the CIA working hand in hand there, to get us involved in a war in Egypt, of course. Operation Gladio involvement in any of that wouldn’t be surprised.
1:06:54 Colonel Towner: The same pattern is involved in all of them. So one of the things that I’ve found out is like Iran Contra. If you understand Operation Gladio and you go back and you start reviewing the attempted overthrow of the Nicaraguan government under the same auspices that we don’t want them to have their own farmland. They were primarily owned by United Fruit as well. The Sandinistas finally get in power. There’s a lot of people that don’t like the Sandinistas. Whatever. That was the government that got elected. So we began funding covertly using these covert same funds to fund the Contras. Reagan with George Bush as his vice president starts using Israel as a weapons cutout. So they become a major weapons trafficker.
The US is a funder
Clayton Morris: into Nicaragua.
So we can sort of wash our hands and then Nicaragua.
Colonel Tower: Into Iran and then into Nicaragua.
[So US funds ==> Israel, Israel Weapons ==> Iran, Iran Weapons ==> Nicaragua Contras. –GC]
Clayton Morris: So Right. Right. Yeah. But we could wash our hands of it then. We could sort of Oh, it’s we’re funneling it through Israel, so it’s not really going to Nicaragua. Yeah.
Colonel Towner: Exactly. Correct. And the same thing happened in Angola under Reagan. So we do not want the government that Angola is going to put in place. Angola backs up to the uranium, the gold, the diamonds. So we want to control Angola for the oligarchs. So we get cut off. The CIA gets cut off from funding Angola directly. So what do they do? They use Israel to funnel weapons into South Africa, which at the time was apartheid South Africa, and they’re running them over the border into Angola to fight this. Cuban exiles from the CIA trained Cuban exile farm down in Miami are in Angola fighting.
1:08:50: I I told you about Felix Rodriguez. Felix Rodriguez was training the Contras. So Israel has been an integral part of all of this. As a matter of fact we didn’t even mention that Taiwan set up a thing called the political warfare cadre academy. It’s a terrorist training camp. The gist of it though, was that all of these national police organizations, these death squads that we were setting up covertly in Latin America, all they had to do was call themselves a political party. And in the US press, we’ll just say if you attack the death squads that you’re attacking democracy. I would argue a lot of the Democrat parties like that today in America. But it literally was a curriculum set up at a academy in Taiwan to teach these people. And if you go back and just do a search of how many of The School of Americas, which was set up in Panama, (it eventually moves to Fort Benning) were graduates. They all end up in the National Police Force in Latin America. How many of those people ended up in the Political Warfare Academy? A crap ton of them did. And if you go and look at the countries that still have political ties to Taiwan officially? The majority of them are all in Latin America because of that. And so again, it just [like] an onion. And the more you unpeel, the the bigger you understand this operation is. It has like enveloped the entire world. Cross continents, cross regional hemispheres and it was [and is] held together through this post world war II intelligence network.
1:11:00: Clayton Morris: So I guess I’ll get you out of here on this. I could spend all afternoon talking about it, but how much of this is still in operation today?
Colonel Towner:I don’t have any way of knowing that. What I look for today is patterns based on their past operations. I would say all of the 2020 Summer of Love was part of this operation. It is exactly the election interference in 2016, all directly ties to the CIA and the model that they set up when they destabilized Chileduring Allende’s initial presidential run and then afterwards. So there are patterns of it happening in the United States. The infiltration of all of these illegal aliens into the United States. It provides the perfect cover. Whether or not, and we know a lot of them are criminals, but whether or not they’re actually Gladio cells doesn’t matter because they will be blamed for it and the real Gladio cells will not. So, do I believe that they were up to nefarious things? Absolutely. Because this is a very similar pattern to destabilization of other countries.
1:12:15Clayton Morris: Well, Colonel, you’ve blown my mind on all of this. Where can people learn more about your work, research in all of this? Again, I’d love to have you back. We can do more deep dives on this, but I think this was a good primer for people to understand Operation Gladio.
1:12:30: Colonel Towner: So, primarily if you go to my X account one of my researchers assistants, Bridget, has created a pinned post that has, a four o’clock show where we do book reviews on X in spaces every day. I’m at @ Colonel spelled out Towner on X — t o w n e r — and that pin post has links to everything, the Rumble channel,my interviews with Paul Williams are over there, the guy that wrote Operation Gladio, the book. My Rumble channel is called the Colonel’s Corner and there are hundreds of hours of research. I also do a Wednesday night show with Alpha Warrior. It’s called the Alpha Warrior Show on Rumble and we started at a primer to Operation Gladio over a year ago and every Wednesday night at 9:30 we have a show. I just did the deep dive into Obama and the family CIA ties to not just his mom and dad, but his grandmother and grandfather in a two-part series there. So I’m all about the CIA at this point.
Clayton Morris: Oh, wonderful. Well, we’ll link it up in the description below and so people can look and follow your work. Colonel, great to have you here on the show. Thank you for this. Thank you for your incredible research and sharing it with our audience. We really appreciate it.
1:14:00 Colonel Towner: Thank you for the invitation to be here. I’m honored.

The Deep State Cabal is YUGE and multinational. Their goal is enslavement of the entire human race. Today I am putting together a compilation of the articles I have run across during the last couple of decades that point to the existence of a globalist cabal. The articles are in no particular order.
Before I jump in, I want to celebrate Colonel Towner’s appearance on one of the really big podcasts. I will cover it next week.

Jeff Childers does a nice summation of the current situation.
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…
As Congressman McFadden in his Remarks to Congress in 1934 stated, the Federal Reserve Bankers financed the Bolshevik Revolution in order to destroy Russia.
“You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the “Russian Revolution.” It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators .” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Boy, the Cabal certainly holds a grudge! First they kill the Tsar, then they destroy the country killing off the Tsar’s entire family while they are at it, just because the Tsar interfered with the cabal’s plans to re-enslave the USA.

The result of Reagan’s 1980’s leveraged buyout feeding frenzy is it allowed the Transnational Financiers to GUT American industry.
Of mergers and acquisitions each costing $1 million or more, there were just 10 in 1970; in 1980, there were 94; in 1986, there were 346. A third of such deals in the 1980’s were hostile. The 1980’s also saw a wave of giant leveraged buyouts.
Mergers, acquisitions and L.B.O.’s, which had accounted for less than 5 percent of the profits of Wall Street brokerage houses in 1978, ballooned into an estimated 50 percent of profits by 1988...
THROUGH ALL THIS, THE HISTORIC RELATIONSHIP between product and paper has been turned upside down.Investment bankers no longer think of themselves as working for the corporations with which they do business. These days, corporations seem to exist for the investment bankers…. In fact,investment banks are replacing the publicly held industrial corporations as the largest and most powerful economic institutions in America.…
THERE ARE SIGNS THAT A VICIOUS spiral has begun, as each corporate player seeks to improve its standard of living at the expense of another’s. Corporate raiders transfer to themselves, and other shareholders, part of the income of employees by forcing the latter to agree to lower wages.
This NYT article was prophetic. The October 26, 2011 paper The Network of Global Corporate Control shows the financiers like Vanguard, Fidelity & Blackrock captured control of the transnational corporations.
A former insider at the World Bank, ex-Senior Counsel Karen Hudes, says the global financial system is dominated by a small group of corrupt, power-hungry figures centered around the privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve. The network has seized control of the media to cover up its crimes, too, she explained. In an interview with The New American, Hudes said that when she tried to blow the whistle on multiple problems at the World Bank, she was fired for her efforts. Now, along with a network of fellow whistleblowers, Hudes is determined to expose and end the corruption. And she is confident of success.
Citing an explosive 2011 Swiss study (1) published in the PLOS ONE journal on the “network of global corporate control,” Hudes pointed out that a small group of entities — mostly financial institutions and especially central banks — exert a massive amount of influence over the international economy from behind the scenes. “What is really going on is that the world’s resources are being dominated by this group,” she explained, adding that the “corrupt power grabbers” have managed to dominate the media as well. “They’re being allowed to do it.”
According to the peer-reviewed paper, which presented the first global investigation of ownership architecture in the international economy, transnational corporations form a “giant bow-tie structure.” A large portion of control, meanwhile, “flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions.” The researchers described the core as an “economic ‘super-entity’” that raises important issues for policymakers and researchers. Of course, the implications are enormous for citizens as well.
Hudes, an attorney who spent some two decades working in the World Bank’s legal department, has observed the machinations of the network up close. “I realized we were now dealing with something known as state capture, which is where the institutions of government are co-opted by the group that’s corrupt,”
The capture of the large corporations was just one aspect of the globalist cartel’s plan. Capture of whole nations for their raw materials and cheap (slave) labor was another.
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 but 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. LINK
Those riots are probably the reason the CIA, via the Office of Public Safety, was training the police forces of those countries in terrorism tactics.
With the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement member countries had accepted the obligation to treat gold, the dollar and the pound alike. When President Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard, that meant third world countries could argue that the IMF’s reason for existence evaporated. Thanks to the Oil Crisis, the problem for big banks like Chase Manhattan, Citicorp and Bank of America were two-fold: Third world countries defaulting on their loans and no one credit worthy in the USA to lend to.
A former respected member of international banking, John Perkins, said in “Confessions of anEconomic Hit Man” and interviews, the American banks and IMF solved both of these problems by having the IMF lend countries the money to pay off the American bank loans.
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, through seducing people into our way of life, through the economic hit men. I was very much a part of that….
Q. How closely did you work with the World Bank?
JOHN PERKINS:Very, very closely with the World Bank. The World Bank provides most of the money that’s used by economic hit men, it and the I.M.F.
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. ..
“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: The “ 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.
When he mentions the CIA, he sure sounds like he is talking about Operation Gladio doesn’t he?
Davison L. Budhoo (died 2001) was a Grenadian economist and International Monetary Fund senior official and whistleblower.[1] In 1988, he publicly released a 100-page letter of resignation from the IMF which detailed the IMF’s extensive, deliberate fraud and predatory practices which, in his words, was on a mission to “make the Third World a new bastion of free wheeling capitalism” and for the global South to be “‘privatised’ or die”[2] in what he describes as a “genocide of Third World peoples under the on-going, creditor-oriented, international debt strategy”.[3] The letter is collected in the 1990 book Enough is Enough.
Mr. Budhoo’s Bombshell: A people’s alternative to Structural Adjustment
“Today I resigned from the staff of the International Monetary Fund after over 12 years, and after 1000 days of official fund work in the field, hawking your medicine and your bag of tricks to governments and to peoples in Latin America and the Caribbean and Africa. To me, resignation is a priceless liberation, for with it I have taken the first big step to that place where I may hope to wash my hands of what in my mind’s eye is the blood of millions of poor and starving peoples. Mr. Camdessus, the blood is so much, you know, it runs in rivers. It dries up too; it cakes all over me; sometimes I feel that there is not enough soap in the whole world to cleanse me from the things that I did do in your name and in the name of your predecessors, and under your official seal…..”
…The report is both a disappointment and a failure. Everyone was expecting the Bank to provide new and solid on-the-ground data about these “large scale land acquisitions”, to use their terminology, that have created so much controversy since 2008. After all, the Bank should have access to governments and corporations in a way that journalists and non government organisation (NGO) researchers never would. The Bank itself says this was its central ambition. But there is hardly anything new in the whole 160-plus page document. The Bank said it was going to look concretely at 30 countries, but it only looked at 14. As it turns out, companies refused to share information about their farmland investments, as did governments providing the lands. So the Bank turned instead to farmlandgrab.org, a website run by GRAIN, made a database of all the deals that the media reported on there, and then sent out teams of consultants to see if they were real or not.2 Is this the best that the World Bank could do?
…Yes, there is an “enormous” farmland grab going on around the world ever since the 2008 food and financial crises and it shows no signs of abating. The Bank says that the 463 projects it tallied from farmlandgrab.org between October 2008 and June 2009 cover at least 46.6 million hectares of land and that the majority of these are in sub-Saharan Africa. Field reports validated that 21% of these projects are “in operation”….
The Bank’s findings also corroborate what others have been saying about the impacts of these land grabs. … it finds that the investments are giving almost zero back to affected communities in terms of jobs or compensation, to say nothing of food security…
Weighing up exactly who is involved and for what purpose, without the fantasies attached, would have been most useful. …the Bank shared some data of this nature when it identified for the Global Donor Platform the top countries targeted by these land grab deals and the top countries of origin of the investors between 2008 and 2009 (see Table 1). But in its final report, the Bank chose not to name names, forcing everyone to speculate why….
Another matter that the report is silent about is the World Bank’s own neck-deep involvement in these deals…..
In the 1920s, the influential American intellectual Walter Lippman argued that the average person was incapable of seeing or understanding the world clearly and needed to be guided by experts behind the social curtain. In a number of books he laid out the theoretical foundations for the practical work of Edward Bernays, who developed “public relations” (aka propaganda) to carry out this task for the ruling elites. Bernays had honed his skills while working as a propagandist for the United States during World War I, and after the war he set himself up as a public relations counselor in New York City.
There is a fascinating exchange at the beginning of Adam Curtis’s documentary, The Century of Self, where Bernays, then nearly 100 years old but still very sharp, reveals his manipulative mindset and that of so many of those who have followed in his wake. He says the reason he couldn’t call his new business “propaganda” was because the Germans had given propaganda a “bad name,” and so he came up with the euphemism “public relations.” He then adds that “if you could use it [i.e. propaganda] for war, you certainly could use it for peace.” Of course, he never used PR for peace but just to manipulate public opinion (he helped engineer the CIA coup against the democratically elected Arbenz government in Guatemala in 1954 with fake news broadcasts). He says “the Germans gave propaganda a bad name,” not Bernays and the United States with their vast campaign of lies, mainly aimed at the American people to get their support for going to a war they opposed (think weapons of mass destruction). He sounds proud of his war propaganda work that resounded to his credit since it led to support for the “war to end all wars” and subsequently to a hit movie about WWI , Yankee Doodle Dandy, made in 1942 to promote another war, since the first one somehow didn’t achieve its lofty goal….
Michael Hoffman’s “Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare” reveals a truth both ancient and urgently contemporary: we live inside an elaborate magical ritual disguised as modern society. While most of us navigate our days believing we’re making rational choices in a scientific world, Hoffman exposes how a hidden network of occult practitioners has transformed civilization itself into a massive theater of psychological operations. The cryptocracy, as Hoffman names this shadow government, orchestrates events from assassinations to mass shootings not merely for their immediate effects, but as acts of ritual programming designed to traumatize and reprogram our collective consciousness. These aren’t random acts of violence but carefully crafted symbolic events that communicate to both initiates and the subconscious minds of the general public. Like the menticide described inJoost Meerloo’s “The Rape of the Mind,” these operations represent “a killing of the mind” – but Hoffman goes further, revealing how this mental murder serves distinctly occult objectives rooted in traditions stretching back to John Dee, the Rosicrucians, and the ancient mystery schools that never truly disappeared.
Hoffman’s genius lies in decoding what he terms “twilight language” – the symbolic communication system through which the cryptocracy programs mass consciousness while hiding in plain sight. As David Hughes observes in his analysis of the “Omniwar,”we’re experiencing an invisible war where “everything will be weaponized” including the very words we use. This connects directly to what William Sargant documented in “Battle for the Mind“: repetition and symbolic manipulation can fundamentally alter human consciousness. Jason Christoff reinforces this understanding, noting that “85% of controlling anybody is what they see on a repetitive basis.” The cryptocracy doesn’t hide anymore – instead, they practice what Hoffman calls the “Revelation of the Method,” openly revealing their crimes knowing that a properly conditioned population will remain passive. This technique appears throughout history, from the Jack the Ripper murders (which Hoffman reveals as a high-level masonic ritual) to modern mass shootings timed to coincide with specific symbols and dates. As Mark Mirabello’s research on secret societies confirms, these groups use “double blind” strategies where truth is revealed precisely because the public won’t believe it.
Understanding Hoffman’s work becomes essential for anyone seeking to break free from what he calls the “Revelation of the Method” – the psychological trap where knowing about our manipulation actually deepens it. The electronic media that surrounds us isn’t just entertainment or information; it’s what Hoffman identifies as sophisticated mind control technology that programs us while we believe we’re being informed. This aligns with insights from multiple researchers: Christoff’s understanding that “poisoned animals don’t need less support, they need more,” making them easier to control; Hughes’ warning about the technocratic control grid being constructed around us; and the historical patterns of manipulation documented by Mirabello dating back to ancient Egypt. Hoffman offers hope through traditional values and natural law – maintaining connection to print culture, natural rhythms, and authentic human relationships….

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.

Colonel Towner did a recent dig on Iran. She is specifically looking at the SOVAK, [WIKI] a secret Police in IRAN originally trained by the Russians in the 1800s, [1879] It was taken over by CIA, MI6 & Mossad. And remained in place during ALL the regime changes in Iran. That would certainly explain why Mossad knows so much about Iranian leaders.
Oh and the guy we know as ‘The Shah’ was a really nasty fellow according to the Colonel’s research. Note that the ‘crown prince’ live quite close to CIA head quarters and do not forget all the recent ‘Regime Change’ chatter. The CIA has pulled regime changes in 90 countries when ever the country’s leaders did not allow the International corporations to exploit the raw materials without paying and used the natives as cheap (slave) labor.

The CIA already has their man ready. They have been grooming him since he was 17 years old. He lives not far from the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. He is Reza Pahlavi, the Crown Prince of Iran…

Wherever the Four Horsemen gallop the CIA is close behind. [The Colonel said they are actually in the lead clearing the way for the multinationals.] Iran was no exception. By 1957 the Company, as intelligence insiders know the CIA, created one of its first Frankensteins – the Shah’s brutal secret police known as SAVAK. Kermit Roosevelt, the Mossadegh coup-master turned Northrop salesman, admitted in his memoirs that SAVAK was 100% created by the CIA and Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency that acts as appendage of the CIA.
For the next 20 years the CIA and SAVAK were joined at the hip when it came to matters of Persian Gulf security. Three hundred fifty SAVAK agents were shuttled each year to CIA training facilities in McLean, Virginia, where they learned the finer arts of interrogation and torture. [15]
Top SAVAK brass were trained through the US Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Public Safety Program, until it was shut down in 1973 due to its reputation for turning out some of the world’s finest terrorists. In 1963 when JFK was assassinated SAVAK Chief Hassan Pakravan joined the Shah in Tehran to celebrate Kennedy’s death. [16] CIA, MI6 and Mossad supported 30 paramilitary groups in Iran and provided support to Shah-loyalist groups.
Popular anger towards Big Oil, the Shah and his new police state resulted in mass protests. The Shah dealt with the peaceful demonstrations with sheer brutality and got a wink and nod from Langley. From 1957-79 Iran housed 125,000 political prisoners. SAVAK “disappeared” dissenters, a strategy replicated by CIA surrogate dictators in Argentina and Chile…

TradeBait2(@tradebait2) on June 26, 2025 brought this to the Qtree.
….I found an interesting email waiting for me in my inbox from Matt Taibbi, the independent journo Elon Musk tasked with reviewing andreleasing internal Twitter documents about decisions to censor content and ban users from the platform.
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan figures prominently in a grand jury investigation run by Special Counsel John Durham into an alleged 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign scheme to use both the FBI and CIA to tar Donald Trump as a colluder with Russia, according to people familiar with the criminal probe, which they say has broadened into a conspiracy case…
…Two U.S. officials briefed on the inspector general’s investigation of possible FBI misconduct said Comey was essentially “running a covert operation against” thepresident, starting with a private “defensive briefing” he gave Trump just weeks before his inauguration. They said Horowitz has examined high-level FBI text messages and other communications indicating Comey was actually conducting a “counterintelligence assessment” of Trump during that January 2017 meeting in New York.
In addition to adding notes of his meetings and phone calls with Trump to the official FBI case file, Comey had an agent inside the White House who reported back to FBI headquarters about Trump and his aides, according to other officials familiar with the matter….
Comey’s meeting with Trump took place one day after the FBI director met in the Oval Office with President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden to discuss how to brief Trump — a meeting attended by National Security Adviser Susan Rice, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and National Intelligence Director James Clapper, who would soon go to work for CNN…
Another interesting 2019 story from Sperry on June 6, 2019.
Roger Stone was not the only one ‘swatted’ by Mueller & the FBI. WND.com founder and editor Joseph Farah. “…Not long after the interrogation, the 64-year-old Farah suffered a stroke and is still incapacitated…” [the ten witnesses also included AG Jeff Session!!]
…The suggestion that Democrats now are suddenly concerned about nuclear secrets seems implausible, too, he suggested.
“Recall how Dems and MSM didn’t give a rip about ‘national security’ when President Clinton: — declassified tens of thousands of pages of secrets about our nuclear weapons program; — transferred dual-use missile and other technology to China; and, — kicked open the doors to Los Alamos and our other nuclear weapons labs to Chinese scientists. Beijing subsequently stole the designs to every nuclear warhead in the US arsenal, including MIRVs, according to the Cox Report, and now China can independently target Honolulu, Los Angeles and San Francisco with a single ICBM.”
He also reported the FBI paperwork authorizing the raid on Trump’s home allowed agents to seize any boxes “in proximity” to any targeted papers….
AG Garland's decision to raid a former president's home will go down as one of the most ill-advised decisions in DOJ history
Who was his counselor? Maggie Goodlander. Who's she? The wife of Biden's National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, who feared Trump had Iran nuke deal docs
The Cultural Revolution, formally known as the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a sociopolitical movement in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). It was launched by Mao Zedong in 1966 and lasted until his death in 1976…
Dr. R.J. Rummel tabulated the 169,202,000 Murdered by their own government, many under some flavor of “Socialism” during the last century.
…Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5′, then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century….
After eight-years and almost daily reading and recording of men, women, and children by the tens of millions being tortured or beaten to death, hung, shot, and buried alive, burned or starved to death, stabbed or chopped into pieces, and murdered in all the other ways creative and imaginative human beings can devise, I have never been so happy to conclude a project. I have not found it easy to read time and time again about the horrors innocent people have been forced to suffer. What has kept me at this was the belief, as preliminary research seemed to suggest, that there was a positive solution to all this killing and a clear course of political action and policy to end it. And the results verify this. The problem is Power. The solution is democracy. The course of action is to foster freedom…

11. 10,729,000 Victims: The Great Famine and Retrenchment Period
12. 7,731,000 Victims: The “Cultural Revolution”
13. 874,000 Victims: Liberalization
IMPORTANT NOTE: Among all the democide estimates appearing in this book, I have revised two upward. I have changed that for Mao’s famine, 1958-1962, from zero to 38,000,000. And thus I have had to change the overall democide for the PRC (1928-1987) from 38,702,000 to 76,702,000. Detailshere.
This might explain why those human rights violations were ignored. Not that the international corporations gave a flying F… about their foreign slave labor.
“By about the year 2000 Communist China will be a “superpower” built by American technology and skill.” — Antony C. Sutton, American Secret Establishment published 1984
Student Mao Zedong & Yale in China
“The fundamental difference between a “New World Order” under the United Nations and an independent United States are nowhere more clearly indicated than in our ‘Declaration of Independence’ affirmation that “men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” The UN’s total exclusion of God means that rights do not come from God, (but) that they proceed from government, and government can take them away.
Skull and Bones reaches to all the leaders around the world and this may explain Bush’s obsessive support of China, regardless of the human rights violations and arsenol buildup.
“Skull and Bones is a secret fraternity at Yale University which restricts their membership to only fifteen per year. . The society was formed in 1832 by General William Russell, whose shipping firm later dominated the U.S. side of the China opium trade. Yale University was founded by Eli Yale, who made his fortune working for the opium smuggling British East India Company.”
Bush Sr of course was CIA. He was unable to get the World Trade Organization ratified. So just like with the Federal Reserve Act, it was handed off to a Democrat. Clinton, managed to get it ratified in the winter of 1994 and the WTO replaced GATT in 1995. Then Clinton “Negotiated terms for China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, with Permanent Normal Trade Relations.” China officially joined the WTO in 2001 at the end of Clinton’s term.
Washington would do well to take note of Chinese restraint as the situation with Iran grinds on for foreseeable future
On a visit to Shanghai some years ago, I asked a leading Chinese strategist how Beijing would view a war between the US and Iran… he shocked me by explaining that China would benefit from the US fighting yet another costly war in the Middle East, since that could mark the “end of US global hegemony.” The Chinese have indeed always considered the Middle East as “the graveyard of empires.”
While hostilities have subsided for now, there remains a grim possibility that the Israel-Iran ceasefire could break down and the US will once again face pressure to come to Israel’s defense. If China were to aid Iran, as it has Pakistan, with aircraft, missiles, and battle management technologies, that would mark a troubling escalation.
But now, Beijing remains cautious about wielding its military power abroad. Still, China will likely reap geopolitical benefits if the US continues to be on an adversarial footing with Iran….
In a significant shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics, Iran is accelerating negotiations with China to acquire Chengdu J-10C multirole fighter jets, a move prompted by the failure of a long-anticipated deal with Russia for Su-35 aircraft. The decision comes on the heels of a bruising 12-day conflict between Israel and the United States, which exposed critical vulnerabilities in Iran’s aging air force and air defense systems.
Tehran’s pivot to Beijing, reported by Iran’s Khorasan newspaper…
Honestly I don’t recall there ever being a deal between Iran and Russia for planes. Endless rumours but that is about it. @Slavyangrad
Do not ever forget the Uranium One deal under Obama and Hilary Clinton. OR Obama’s pallets of cash sent to Iran. Were they setting-up the USA, or Russia?
As one example of the CIA connections of these organizations, consider the disclosure by John Gilligan, Director of AID during the Carter administration (1977-81).
….Ann Dunham, had been associated during the 1970s and 80s — as employee, consultant, grantee, or student — with at least five organizations with intimate CIA connections during the Cold War: The Ford Foundation, Agency for International Development (AID), the Asia Foundation, Development Alternatives, Inc., and the East-West Center of Hawaii.[5] Much of this time she worked as an anthropologist in Indonesia and Hawaii, being in good position to gather intelligence about local communities.
As one example of the CIA connections of these organizations, consider the disclosure by John Gilligan, Director of AID during the Carter administration (1977-81). “At one time, many AID field offices were infiltrated from top to bottom with CIA people. The idea was to plant operatives in every kind of activity we had overseas, government, volunteer, religious, every kind.”[6] And Development Alternatives, Inc. is the organization for whom Alan Gross was working when arrested in Cuba and charged with being part of the ongoing American operation to destabilize the Cuban government…

I think this DELIBERATE ATTACK to create a false flag blamed on Egypt is a KEY CLUE given the history of the Brits/Rothschilds in Egypt and their interest in the Suez canal
Trade 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 India. It required a brief overland journey, but it was still substantially quicker than circumnavigating Africa….
This site, by a UK teacher, has an excellent timeline dealing with the British Empire. These are the key dates dealing with the Suez Canal.
1798
Napoleon arrives in Egypt to destroy British trade and influence in the area. He defeats a Mameluke army at the Battle of the Pyramids. But, the British destroy his fleet at Aboukir Bay.
1841
The Turkish Government grants hereditary soveriegnty to Mohammed Ali and his heirs.
1848
Mohammed Ali dies. Replaced by Abbas I
1854
Said takes over. He is an enthusiastic moderniser and supports construction of the Suez Canal.
1858
Alexandria to Suez Railway Opened
1869
Suez Canal opened
1875
Disraeli buys the Khedive’s 40% holding in the Suez Canal company. Britain is now the largest single shareholder.
1876
Anglo-French control of Egyptian finances
1885
Britain and France declare the Suez Canal neutral.
1904
French confirm that British power is preeminent in Egypt. Upsurge in Anti-European feeling.
1914
Britain orders all foreign vessels out of Suez canal. Also, declares Egypt a protectorate
1921
Rioting in Cairo and Alexandria
1922
Egypt declared independent, but with Britian retaining responsibility for maintenance of communications, defence, protection of European interests and the question of Sudan. Sultan Fuad becomes King Fuad I. Tutankhamen discovered.
1924
Governor General of Sudan Assassinated in Cairo – Egyptians Ordered to Withdraw from Sudan and Pay Indemnity
1929
Britain agrees to withdraw some troops from Egypt, but not from canal zone.
1953
Britain and Egypt discuss future of Suez Canal. British families advised to leave Egypt.
1954
Britain agrees to withdrawal of 65,000 servicemen. Nasser ousts Neguib.
1955
Israelis raid Egyptian held Gaza strip. Britain and Egypt agree to independence of Sudan.
1956
Nasser assumes full executive powers and nationalises Suez Canal Company. Expels British, French and Zionist residents. British, French and Israeli forces react. But, diplomatic problems force the withdrawal of the British and French armies. Israel keeps Gaza strip.
So given Nasser kicked the Brits out, what has been the plan?
you see the Israelis are militarizing islands in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden by grabbing territory from Yemen and kicking the natives out. This is why the Houthis are attacking.
Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas War on Oct. 7, rumors have circulated online about an alleged Israeli infrastructure project that would create an alternative to the Suez Canal, allowing Israel to control a waterway between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.
The new canal, supposedly called the “Ben Gurion Canal” after Israeli founding father and first Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, would be a financial boost for Israel, but it would also have to run directly through the Gaza Strip.
Reason Behind a ‘Ben Gurion Canal’
The Suez Canal Authority had a record revenue of $9.4 billion in Egypt’s 2022 Fiscal Year, up from $7 billion the year before. Some 25,800 ships passed through the canal in FY 2022, up from 23,800 the previous year.
The Suez Canal was created by a French diplomat in 1869 and was jointly administered by a British-French imperial corporation. By the 1950s, Egypt had already been rebuffing Britain’s military presence at the canal, and was unhappy with the existence of Israel. But when Israeli troops pushed Egyptian forces toward the canal, as the U.S. backed out on a promise to fund a dam in the Nile River, Egypt seized control over the highly important trade route….
Previous Consideration of ‘Ben Gurion Canal’
It was revealed in a document from the 1960s (declassified in 1996) that theUnited States considered using 520 nuclear bombs to blow through the Israeli landmass in order to create an alternative to the Suez Canal similar to the alleged Ben Gurion Canal.It was produced by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, an institution funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.
To create the passageway connecting the Mediterranean with the Gulf of Aqaba through the Negev desert, the paper notes, “it appears that nuclear explosives could be profitably applied to this situation.” It suggests a route that would “pass by Beersheba and the Gaza Strip,” specifically Gaza’s “coastal plain” which is described as “the least difficult to excavate” as it is “fairly close to seal level.”
After discussing the economic feasibility of the project, which it argues would only be a fraction of the ultimate pay off, the document brushes up against its “political feasibility,” recognizing “it is likely that the Arab countries surrounding Israel would object strongly to the construction of such a canal.”…
Yandex.com several other articles if you search using “ben gurion canal”
Then there is a June 15th article on the Burning Platform:
President Trump supporter Charlie Kirk presented a poll question on his Twitter account asking, “Should the US get involved in Israel’s war against Iran?” Almost a half million responses and the outcome is almost 90% saying no.
If you have been following my articles, I hope you can see the Rothschilds are very much behind the creation of Israel and I do not think it has anything to do with religion. I already covered Khazaria, the silk road & the Russians attacking
It is ALL ABOUT TRADE ROUTES AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN
I really love this:
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. Coffee & Covid
The U.S. provides Israel more than $63 million* in military aid per day,
The United States has granted more total aid to Israel since World War II than to any other country.
Cumulative US foreign assistance obligations between 1946 and 2022 to the top ten recipients. Inflation-adjusted to 2022 dollars. (source)
In addition to this direct aid to Israel:
Israel gets most of its aid money at the start of each year, rather than in quarterly installments like other countries.
This means that Israel starts earning interest on the money right away – interest paid by the US since Israel deposits these funds into an interest-bearing account at the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
Because the US government operates at a deficit, it must borrow money in order to give it to Israel and then pay interest on it all year.
Together these have at times cost US taxpayers more than $100 million every year.
Like many government policies, this disbursement of U.S. tax money is not because it serves American interests, but instead is the result of special interest lobbying.
Another Unique Exception
Contrary to ordinary U.S. policy, Israel has been and continues to be allowed to use approximately a quarter of U.S. military aid to purchase equipment from Israeli manufacturers. According to CRS, “no other recipient of U.S. military assistance has been granted this benefit.” (In some years this percentage has increased to as high as 38.7%.)
The MOU requires this Off-Shore Procurement (OSP) to phase out over time, ending entirely in FY2028. However, according to the CRS report, Israeli defense contractors are responding to the planned phase-out by merging with U.S. companies or opening U.S. subsidiaries to continue their elegibility for defense contracts financed through FMF.
Thanks in part to this indirect U.S. subsidy, Israel’s arms industry has become one of the strongest in the world, and competes with US companies. Between 2001 and 2008, Israel was the 7th largest arms supplier to the world, selling $9.9 billion worth of equipment. And it continues to grow stronger. In 2021, Israel sold $11.3 billion in military goods to other countries…
Congressman Thomas Massie reveals to Tucker Carlson that his Republican colleagues have an “AIPAC babysitter” to ensure they vote in the interests of Israel at all times.
“It’s the only country that does this,” Massie adds.
“Everybody but me has an AIPAC person — like your AIPAC babysitter, who is always talking to you for AIPAC,” Massie said. “They’re probably a constituent from your district but they’re firmly embedded in AIPAC.”
“Every member has something like this?” Tucker Carlson asked.
“Every Repub–, I don’t know how it works on the Democrat side, but that’s how it works on the Republican side, and when you come to DC you go have lunch with them and they’ve got your cell number and you have conversations with them.”
“That’s crazy,” Carlson responded.
“So, I’ve had four members of Congress say, ‘I’ll talk to my AIPAC person’ — that’s literally what we call them, ‘my AIPAC guy,'” Massie said, laughing. “‘I’ll talk to my AIPAC guy and see if I can get them to, you know, dial those ads back.'”
“Why have I never heard this before?” Carlson said.
“It doesn’t benefit anybody,” Massie said, “why would they want to tell their constituents that they’ve basically got a buddy system with somebody who is representing a foreign country, it doesn’t benefit the congressmen for people to know that so they’re not going to tell you that.”
Anti–DefamationLeague National Leadership Summit. … Since 2010, FBI employees have participated in more than 105 training sessions sponsored by the ADL on extremism, terrorism, and hate crimes, in 17 states and here in the District.
The Department of Justice released the Anti-Defamation League’s Basic Field Training Course (PDF). The course is mandatory for all FBI New Agent Trainees (NATs) and New Intelligence Analyst Trainees (NIATs). This release follows a decade of Freedom of Information Act requests and denials by the Department of Justice (PDF) and evasion by publicly funded content contributors.
The ADL course is developed and conducted by Anti-Defamation League (ADL) instructors. It selects materials from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) and Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. Marcus Appelbaum, Museum Director of Law, Justice and Society Initiatives in 2014 resisted any public review of the curriculum, stating, “Unfortunately we do not randomly send out the curriculum.” Appelbaum also denied that any of the large amounts of U.S. taxpayer funding supporting the museum paid for the curriculum.
The ADL course facilitates a discussion of the USHMM video The Path to Nazi Genocide by asking trainees to watch and then consider “the challenges that police officers faced, and decisions they made in Germany during the Nazi era.” The video depicts the rise of Nazi Germany from WWI to the final WWII liberation of concentration camps replete with emaciated images of the dead and barely living.
The final question the video puts to agents in training is why the word “genocide” had to be coined in the aftermath. “As the world struggled to understand what had happened, a new word, genocide, w
According to Pew, the percentage of the U.S. population that is Jewish is estimated to be 2.4%. Why do they have such an outsized influence on the USA?
We, the undersigned American Jewish clergy, are deeply concerned about reports thatPrime Minister Netanyahu will demand of President Obama, at their meeting at the White House today, that either the United States attack Iran, or else, Israel will...
Most of the people of the State of Israel oppose Prime Minister Netanyahu’s military threats against Iran. They fear the consequences of an attack on Iran. As Jewish leaders, we too believe that the path of wisdom towards achieving peace and stability in the region is through dialog and engagement and not through acts of war. We call on the United States government to safeguard the interests of the people of Israel and Iran…
….the latest high-profile demonstration demanding the United States end its opposition to a cease-fire in Gaza.
The rabbis—whose action was organized by Rabbis for Cease-fire, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, Jewish Voice for Peace, and IfNotNow—displayed banners with messages for U.S. President Joe Biden: “Biden: The World Says Cease-Fire,” and “Biden: Stop Vetoing Peace.”
The protest came weeks after the U.S. alone vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for Israel to end its bombardment of Gaza, which has killed at least 23,210 people, injured more than 59,100, and left thousands more missing and feared dead under rubble, as the population of the enclave faces starvation and disease stemming from Israel’s blockade…
Funny how we hear about the idiots supporting HAMAS, but not the JEW CALLING FOR PEACE. 🤔
I am adding this video very late. It is about Israel and BLOOD Diamonds and it is nasty. Israel and their American supporters are ‘rinsing the blood off’ @ 39 minutes to ~50 minutes the colonel talks of the Zionist Americans involved.

I am going to toss up some of my old notes plus stuff I have just gleaned from the Qtree and from commenters on X. I am not always going to include names, so Hat tips to everyone, especially the Meme Makers and other researchers on X.
OLD NOTES
I want to include this information as background. Some of the links may be dead.
Given recent happenings this should be of interest.
“FBI Uncovers Secret Gangs of Tattooed Los Angeles Deputies
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has launched a probe into multiple gangs hidden within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The Banditos, Spartans, Regulators, and Reapers are literal gangs that exist within the roughly 10,000 members of the Los Angeles law enforcement agency. The investigation was triggered by allegations of abuse by the Banditos in March.
Each member of the Banditos is tattooed with a skeleton wearing a sombrero, bandolier, and pistol. Allegations against them include using gang tactics to recruit young Latino deputies, and punishing those who reject their advances.”
As a 30+ year resident of this town, I know first hand the ineptitude of these “officers.” Disrespectful to peaceful people, thuggish attitude and general incompetence are their trademarks. The liberal courts have neutered the force into poverty managers, with racial and sexual setasides for the otherwise incapable applicants. Meanwhile enormous homade tents are erected on every public sidewalk while these “officers” ride on by, doing their community policing (ie fistbumping gangbangers).
Then we go to one of the Operation Gladio videos I wrote about recently. OPERATION GLADIO – CHAPTER 47 – “USAID-Office of Public Safety” PART 5 – EP.394
24:45 Colonel: A little bit about that international police academy you just read about. This is the one set-up in DC.
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.
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 is to 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 a lone. That is why they never get prosecuted.
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 know 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 – 29:30Colonel: After they train people in foreign countries to do all kinds of horrendous things…

Back to my older notes:
The Illegals goal is ANNEXING USA TERRITORY as shown above. It is no secret.
Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) called for mass immigration to the United States during a speech Tuesday declaring it a “human right” for all North Americans....
La Raza’s goals are to bring California, Texas and other southwestern states into Mexico. ‘re-conquista of land’ BOUGHT from Mexico after the war. They have explicitly said they intend to remove or kill all people not of “The Race” in this area. Here is the extent to which they have achieved infiltration of these areas.
Note the fact that the La Raza Lawyers Association links to the National Council of La Raza on their websites “community” section and it has very few such links. These are the lawyers down in Mexico helping the invaders.
Reconquesta
Check out the schools and read about what they’re taught in their “chicano studies” — to invade and weaken US to “take back their Mexico” La Raza/MEChA receives federal funding including 30 million in CA alone to TEACH this crap to Hispanics.
…Conference on March 15 – 18, 2001, the official “MEChA Philosophy” was ratified. An excerpt from the document states: “as Mechistas, we vow to work for the liberation of Aztlan.”
The MEChA Clubs on each of the Santa Barbara high school campuses are not the only ones. MEChA groups exist on 90 percent of the public high school, college and university campuses in the Southwestern United States...
MEChA has three guiding documents: El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan, El Plan de Santa Barbara, and the Philosophy of MEChA. These documents outline our principles and ideology, and help all MEChistAs work toward the common goal of uniting all Raza.
El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan
In 1969, the National Chicano Youth Conference’s agenda was to begin the formation of an identity and an ideology for the Chicano Movement, the result of which was El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan. The plan concluded that what would truly solidify the Movement was the ideology of Chicano Nationalism. El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan states: “Nationalism, as the key to organization, transcends all religious, political, class, and economic faction boundaries. Nationalism is the common denominator that all members of La Raza can agree upon.” In a word El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan, created and gave direction to the Chicano Movement. It is this document that we as MEChistAs look back upon as a reminder of why we continue to fight for social justice….
El Plan de Santa Barbara
As a result of the Chicano Coordinating Council on Higher Education held at UC, Santa Barbara, the goal of El Plan de Santa Barbara was to develop a master plan for the creation of a curriculum and the related structures and services that would facilitate Chicano/a access to institutions of higher learning. This was significant, because it was the first opportunity for Chicano/as to implement the ideas of El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan. El Plan de Santa Barbara set the framework for the establishment of Chicano Studies programs and the creation of MEChA, the student arm of el Movimiento Chicano/a that would keep la causa moving forward on school campuses….
“…Chicano is our identity; it defines who we are as people. It rejects the notion that we…should assimilate into the Anglo-American melting pot…Aztlan was the legendary homeland of the Aztecas … It became synonymous with the vast territories of the Southwest, brutally stolen from a Mexican people marginalized and betrayed by the hostile custodians of the Manifest Destiny.”
(Statement on University of Oregon MEChA Website, Jan. 3, 2006)
We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlan. For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.”
“That closing two-sentence motto is chilling to everyone who values equal rights for all. It says: “For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing.”
I have 21 pages of old notes, but I think that sampling gets the point across. 🤓 Now on to the present day and the various X accounts brought to the Q Tree.
Taxpayer-Funded Nonprofit Behind the Anti-ICE Riots in Los Angeles. Over the past two days, ICE agents have conducted targeted operations across the Los Angeles region, detaining more than 40 suspected illegal aliens.
These enforcement actions triggered large-scale demonstrations, some of which turned confrontational, with reports of vandalism, blocked traffic, and physical clashes with federal agents.
The unrest has prompted questions about who is organizing and funding these protests.
One of the organizations at the center of the resistance to ICE is the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a Los Angeles nonprofit that has long provided legal and advocacy services to illegal aliens.
CHIRLA is known for radical positions on immigration—for example, it led a campaign to abolish ICE in 2018. Yesterday afternoon, as clashes with federal law enforcement were heating up, CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas held a press conference during which she announced that the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network’s hotline had received more than 50 calls reporting ICE activity and sightings of “men in military garb.”
LARRN is organized by a coalition of nonprofits, and CHIRLA plays a central role, using its main phone line as the hotline number. LARRN’s hotline is one of the communication systems that allows legal observers, volunteers, and other activists to be quickly dispatched to the scene of immigration enforcement actions.
During her remarks, Salas referred to SEIU California President David Huerta as her “brother,” highlighting CHIRLA’s close ties to organized labor in California.
Huerta had been arrested during one of the protests for blocking the path of an ICE vehicle, as shown by video footage released by U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.
Governor Gavin Newsom expressed his unequivocal support for Huerta, claiming he was only “witnessing” the action, while Essayli announced his intention to file criminal charges.
For her part, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has defiantly opposed federal immigration enforcement in the city, stating on social media Friday, “We will not stand for this” and “No vamos a permitir estas acciones,” (“We are not going to permit these actions”).
She added that her office would collaborate with community-based organizations that serve immigrants. She has a long relationship with CHIRLA and bragged last year about obtaining federal funding for CHIRLA’s programs.
That grant is part of a broader stream of public dollars that the organization receives from government sources. In fact, according to a financial audit submitted to the state, the CHIRLA organization received nearly $34 million in revenue from government contracts during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, with 96% of that funding from the State of California.
That figure marks a sharp increase from the prior year, when it received around $12 million in government contract revenue. Agencies contributing to CHIRLA’s funding during this period included the California Department of Social Services, the California Arts Council, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, and the Department of Homeland Security.
Notably, as mentioned above, a DHS contract funded CHIRLA to provide citizenship instruction and naturalization services.
With $100,000 remaining on CHIRLA’s contract, DHS froze the remaining funds in February.
CHIRLA responded by suing. The court denied their motion for a preliminary injunction on May 29.
This is one of two lawsuits CHIRLA filed against DHS this year. The other was dismissed for lack of standing and is on appeal. To sum up how this works:
Your tax dollars fund an organization that organizes efforts to directly interfere with the federal government’s lawful exercise of authority. Then, through its lobbying arm, that organization helps get Democrats elected to office, who then repay the favor by ensuring increased funding. This is the nonprofit industrial complex at work.
kalbokalbs brought this. And this is where things get interesting. Remember from my above notes, the previous Mexican President was encouraging Mexicans to invade the USA.
Mexico’s president-elect just said: “If necessary, we’ll mobilize. We don’t want taxes on remittances from our fellow countrymen. From the U.S. to Mexico.”
A head of state openly calling for protests in the U.S. This is unprecedented. pic.twitter.com/JqFETt5NKr
For decades, Mexico’s foreign policy has been guided by the principle of non-intervention — respect for other nations’ internal affairs. Now, Sheinbaum threatens to organize mobilizations inside the U.S. She’s breaking one of Mexico’s most fundamental diplomatic doctrines
Arne, I’m not defending or in agreement with @Claudiashein , but the mobilization and protest are due and against “immigration raids within USofA” and not a mobilization against US tariffs. Claudia is not calling or instigating Mexicans in United States to a riot against tariffs. Do not distort the news. MENTIROSO !
All that really matters is she is directing HER CITIZENS in the USA to defy OUR PRESIDENT on top of the previous president instructing Mexicans to invade our country. Stealth invasion with the goal of taking US territory anyone?
MAGADAD SAYS THE IMPORTANT PART OUT LOUD. It was fairly far down in the replies.
MAGA_DAD @Das_rooster Replying to @arnemx
That should fulfill the part of the Alien Enemies Act that requires a foreign government’s direction.
Mexico’s deliberate facilitation of illegal mass migration into the United States, if proven to be state-sponsored with intent to erode U.S. sovereignty, blatantly violates the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848), particularly Article XI’s implied commitment to mutual border integrity. By enabling unauthorized crossings, Mexico undermines the hard-won territorial settlement that saw the U.S. secure approximately 950,000 square miles—nearly half of Mexico’s pre-war territory—while returning 250,000–300,000 square miles of occupied land. This provocative act disrespects the treaty’s border delineation, threatening the sovereignty of the U.S., which expanded to 3.2 million square miles after the war, and mocks the sacrifices made to establish clear boundaries.
In Mexico, many already call her the “vice president” — not because the role exists, but because she takes orders from her predecessor. And let’s not forget: that predecessor is widely seen as a servant of the cartels, not the people.
Here is the heart of it. Trump must put a 100% tax on all remittances leave the US for Central America. This will cut-off the reason most illegal aliens are here and they will go back.
Exactly — this is the core issue. A remittance tax isn’t just revenue. It’s transparency. The @IRSenEspanol could finally see who’s sending money, and why — legal, illegal, or criminal.
The Local Multiplier Effect (LME) is a very valuable, hidden feature of our economies. The term refers to how many times dollars are recirculated within a local economy before leaving through the purchase of an import. Famed economist John Maynard Keynes 🤮 first coined the term “Local Multiplier Effect” in his 1936 book The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.
A Hypothetical Example
Imagine a hypothetical influx of money, say one million dollars, entering a local economy. Now imagine these dollars are spent on local goods and services. Imagine that each of the local vendors who earned those dollars then re-spends that money on more local goods and services. Envision this cycle happening several times before this money is finally spent on imports – goods or services from outside the region.
In this case, those one million dollars recirculating eight times would act much like eight million dollars by increasing revenue and income opportunities for local producers.
Now another scenario: picture that same amount of money being spent immediately at stores (or online) with businesses headquartered in other regions on imported goods. These transactions would add very little or no value to the local economy; one million dollars would act just like one million dollars instead of several million dollars.
History and Impact
Over the past 50 years, the expansion of national businesses into local domestic markets has diverted this vital monetary stream and redirected it to centralized corporate coffers….

From Data republican (small r) a thread bring the financial data. All of the following is a quote from her. https://xcancel.com/DataRepublican/status/1931508083127362024
🚨🔥WHO’S BEHIND THE ANTI-ICE RIOTS IN LOS ANGELES? 🔥🚨
Hundreds took to the streets this weekend: blocking roads, attacking federal officers, even burning flags. But this wasn’t “spontaneous outrage.” This was organized. Funded. Coordinated. Here’s a breakdown of the groups, the money, and the people pulling the strings.
Patience as I assemble the thread and verify information in real time
A number of NGOs have been implicated in this. Foremost is Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights or CHIRLA, and the photos of signs show they were printed by PSLWEB / Party for Socialism and Liberation.
CHIRLA has the EIN of 954421521. Most of its private funding appears to be from DAFs, which are the hardest to trace. However 34 million of its reported 45 million in revenue are from government grants.
In their most recent year, CHIRLA jumped from 12 million to 34 million in government grants. Nice!However, this is probably from CA – “only” 450K in federal grants.
These are their two federal grants, both completed. Now moving onto PSLWeb…
The group which printed the signs for protests, Party for Socialism and Liberation, is not a nonprofit – they are a literal Communist party.
Finding financials is tricky, but I did find a Wiki reference to “ANSWER Coalition”
ANSWER Coalition is mentioned on their Wikipedia page to have significant financial overlap.
It is tough to find backings on either group, as they do not have a nonprofit associated with them. Both claim to be funded entirely by members. (🐄💩)
However, I did find a NY Post article claiming that both are funded by billionaire socialist Neville Singer. [Correction Neville Singham -GC]
Singham also financed the People’s Forum – giving it over 20 million dollars. All 3 Singham-financed organizations were also heavily involved in the Columbia protests.
The SEIU-CA president got arrested. I researched SEIU’s financials, but they are mostly dues-backed.
Moving onto other organizations: it appears as though the Million Voters Project was involved in promoting the project.
Here’s the magical D-word… Democracy … on the MVP website.
Million Voters Project gets their funding from a variety of grants, no taxpayer funding.
That’s the end of the deep search. Overall, my guess is if we had to finger a culprit behind all this – it’s Neville Singham. He will be fertile ground in my feed in the coming days.
I’m going to wrap up the thread here. Thanks for following.
Just who is Neville Singham?
One last word: I normally don’t pass on “gossip”, but a credible source leaked to me that Qatar is heavily involved.
However, I haven’t made that particular connection yet.

President Trump must invoke the Insurrection Act.
Americans confront millions of illegals who pose an existential threat to the American Republic.
Given the size and scope of what is coming POTUS MUST ACT NOW to bring back ALL US GROUND FORCES FROM overseas and employ them at home to restore the rule of law and execute mass deportations.
He must also mobilize the Army National Guard and federalize [NOPE do not want to set precedence– GC] all of our law enforcement.
This is the War Americans must fight and win if our country is to survive.

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 Watcha 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.
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
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. 😡

H/T to Barkerjim who brought us this last Tuesday from Badlands.
…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.
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.
…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.”….
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
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.https://t.co/gvmzpn1jsT
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.
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.
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 EuropeAnd 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.
…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….
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.
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.
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….
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.
….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.
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….
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….
…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
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.
