Wayne Stiles, a co-pilot on the first rescue helicopter to reach the USS Liberty after it was deliberately attacked by Israel on June 8th, 1967, describes the mission. He explains that due to the extent of the ship’s destruction, they had to hover at 25 feet and use a hoist cable to bring the wounded up to the helicopter.
In his testimony, Stiles recounts the events of the morning, including seeing blood flash back and forth in a machine gun emplacement in the forward gun tub. He later learned that two or three crew members had been machine gunned to death while trying to defend against the Israeli attack.
Wayne Stiles also notes that there was another helicopter squadron on board which had larger helicopters and completed the evacuation in the afternoon. Overall, Stiles describes the mission as a difficult and shocking experience.
United States Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri is seen in this video grilling a Health and Human Services (HHS) officer Ms. Robin Dunn Marcos regarding the practices of the office in handling child care and trafficking cases.
Sen. Hawley accuses the HHS of releasing children to labor traffickers without providing them with proper support and resources. He asks Ms. Marcos about the practice of giving a “know your rights” presentation to children before turning them over to labor traffickers, and if she truly believes that this helps the children in such situations.
Sen. Hawley also asks Ms. Marcos about documentation requirements for sponsors, background checks on adults in the household, and home visits in cases of released children. Then, Sen. Hawley references a New York Times report that was published earlier about the children in HHS’s care, and asks Ms. Marcos about any conversations she had with Secretary Xavier Becerra about the risks faced by these children. The NY Times report claimed that the Department of Health and Human Services under the Joe Biden administration ran an assembly line for the release of unaccompanied minors to human traffickers.
Finally, Sen. Hawley highlights the contrast between the stated concern for the safety and well-being of children and the reality, with over 85,000 minors being trafficked. He questions the Secretary about the number of kids in regular contact with them and asks them to provide comprehensive case management. He concludes by asking the officer to stop facilitating the largest child trafficking ring in American history.
Dirk Pohlmann (German journalist, author, screenwriter, director and producer) and Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, political commentator and theorist) recently briefed the United Nations Security Council about the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.
Pohlmann presented new evidence suggesting that the operation would have required professional or military divers and a large-scale deployment of explosives, making it unlikely to have been carried out by a small sailing boat. He also raised suspicions about the Bops 20t exercise, which took place around the same time as the sabotage, and suggested that it may have provided a cover for the deployment of the bombs.
Dore highlighted the alleged involvement of the United States in the sabotage, pointing to evidence that US Navy divers planted explosives and high-ranking US officials expressed satisfaction with the attack. The speakers emphasized the need for an independent and objective investigation to reveal the truth behind the sabotage and hold the perpetrators accountable. Representatives from other countries echoed these concerns and urged transparent and timely disclosure of the investigation results.
UN Brief by Dirk Pohlmann
Mr. Dirk Pohlmann, an investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker, is the first to address the United Nations Security Council about the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage. He discusses how little information is known about the sabotage, including the number of explosions and the identity of the perpetrators. Pohlmann presents new evidence, including the opinions of Professor Dr. Tanda and the seismic data from a Norwegian seismological station, suggesting that the operation would have required professional or military divers and a large-scale deployment of explosives, making it unlikely to have been carried out by a small sailing boat. He also raises suspicions about the Bops 20t exercise, which took place around the same time as the sabotage, and suggests that it may have provided a cover for the deployment of the bombs.
Dirk Pohlmann makes the claim that the USS Kar 257 M and US Gunon Hall 150 190 M, both small aircraft carriers, could have been used to deploy explosives for sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline. It is suggested that US Navy divers with deep diving equipment from Panama City, Florida might have been involved in deploying the bombs. Furthermore, it is alleged that a US Poseidon aircraft dropped a sonobuoy that triggered the timers of the bombs. While there is speculation that the Norwegians were supposed to drop the sonobuoy, evidence suggests that a US Hercules aircraft flew to Norway to fetch a specific sonobuoy and bring it to Sigonella.
Additionally, there are discrepancies in the official reports about the amount of explosives used, with a Swiss physicist, Dr. Hans Benjamin Brown, suggesting that the physical evidence points towards the use of an explosive charge at least a thousand times larger than what has been reported. These details were presented in a detailed report to the Swiss government and shared with the United Nations.
Dirk Pohlmann then discusses the contradictions and inconsistencies in the official reports regarding the magnitude and nature of the explosive charge used in the sabotage of Nord Stream 1. The reports initially stated that the explosion had a magnitude of 2.1 on the Richter scale, corresponding to approximately 700 kilograms of TNT equivalent. However, further analysis suggests that the magnitude was actually 3.1, indicating a much larger explosive charge of roughly 25 tons of TNT equivalent.
Dirk Pohlmann also points out that the location of the explosion was strategically chosen to generate a shock wave directed at Kaliningrad, raising doubts about the nature of the explosive charge used. The observations and independent geophysical findings strongly contradict the reported use of a small conventional explosive, suggesting a much larger explosive charge of 1 to 4 kilotons TNT equivalent.
At the second half of his speech, Dirk Pohlmann highlights the importance of securing independent and objective evidence through the authority of the UN Security Council, as it is crucial to address the seriousness of the matter. The Baltic seabed’s abundance of hydrates can be identified by Western navies, making it possible to determine if a ship, such as the Andromeda allegedly used at the sabotage site, was present.
Historical examples of Western intelligence operations targeting Soviet pipelines are mentioned, including the killing of Italian oil manager Enrico Mattei and the destruction of the Mal Pipeline by the CIA.
The briefing also mentions the political dynamics surrounding the Nord Stream pipeline, with the US having no allies but hostages and certain governments suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
UN Brief by Jimmy Dore
Jimmy Dore also discusses the attack on the Nord Stream pipeline, highlighting it as the biggest act of industrial sabotage in human history and pointing out that President Joe Biden himself stated his intentions to attack the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
According to investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, US Navy divers planted explosives in June 2022, which later destroyed three of the four pipelines. High-ranking US officials, including Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, expressed satisfaction with the attack, claiming it was an opportunity to diminish reliance on Russian energy.
Jimmy Dore argues that the Western media’s coverage of the conflict in Ukraine conveniently leaves out key events, such as the 2014 coup orchestrated by the US and Ukraine Nazis, which contributes to a false understanding of the conflict.
He mentions the involvement of a Nazi Azov Battalion and the violation of a peace agreement by the Ukrainian government. The speaker also emphasizes the expansion of NATO onto Russia’s border as a primary cause of the tensions. It is argued that the United States’ imperialistic ambitions and fear of German-Russian collaboration drive its aggression. Jimmy Dore criticizes the US and its NATO allies for their silence on the environmental impact of the war, particularly the release of methane gas. Furthermore, he mentions Greta Thunberg’s visit to Ukraine following the Nord Stream bombing.
Remarks from International Representatives
The inconsistencies in the narrative promoted by Washington and its allies regarding the bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in September 2022 are then discussed by the representative of the Russian Federation. Despite claims that national investigations are underway, no results have been produced thus far. The speaker suggests that more evidence is emerging in the expert community indicating that the explosion was the work of Washington. He argues that this act of sabotage was committed to consolidate dominance in Europe, ignoring the dire need for Russian energy resources.
The lack of progress in the investigations conducted by Germany, Denmark, and Sweden are then highlighted, and questions the effectiveness of these national efforts. He proposes the establishment of an independent international commission to investigate the act of sabotage and emphasizes that this incident was not a prank but a terrorist act with significant economic and environmental consequences for multiple states. He argues that the actions taken fall under the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings.
Despite German Chancellor Olaf Schulz’s intention to resolve the matter, there is a lack of relevant information and attempts to conceal the truth. Various ridiculous versions of events have been spread to divert attention from the involvement of Western powers.
Russian representative references an investigation by journalist Seymour Hirsch, which suggests that American divers planted explosives during NATO exercises. There are also mentions of statements from President Biden, Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, and former Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski expressing opposition to Nord Stream. The involvement of Germany, Denmark, and Sweden is seen as a cover-up to protect their overseas allies.
He calls for accountability and justice for the perpetrators and proposes a draft presidential statement for consideration by the Security Council. The speaker emphasizes the importance of preventing such crimes and avoiding impunity.
Following the speech by the Russian representative, the representative of Japan lso expresses concern about the incident and acknowledges the environmental implications it may have.
Representatives from Brazil, Gabon, and Ecuador then address the United Nations regarding the Nord Stream pipeline explosions and the need for transparent and timely disclosure of the investigation results. They emphasize the economic losses, environmental impacts, and threats to international peace and security caused by the sabotage. Expressing support for the national authorities conducting the investigations, they urge cooperation, information exchange, and the avoidance of hindrances or opacity in order to reveal the truth behind the incidents.
Representatives from Switzerland, and China also address the United Nations about the sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in the Baltic Sea. They condemn the acts of sabotage, highlighting the environmental impact and the potential for heightened tensions and unpredictable consequences. The representatives call for objective and thorough investigations to determine the truth and express concern about the delays in reaching conclusive results. They emphasize the importance of upholding the rule of law and avoiding disruptive actions that hinder the search for truth. China calls for active communication and cooperation with Russia and warns against attempting to politicize the investigation, emphasizing the need for objective and authoritative conclusions.
Finally, representatives from Malta, and the United Kingdom address the concerns of the international community regarding the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. Malta strongly condemns the sabotage and highlights the threats posed to energy security and regional stability. They express confidence in ongoing investigations and reject claims that sufficient time has not been given to establish the truth. The United Kingdom thanks the briefers for their perspectives but the video ends as the representative begins his speech.
On Company Business is a 1980 documentary on the CIA by the late Allan Francovich. The documentary is a comprehensive look at the role of the CIA in various covert operations during and after WWII. The video covers several topics, including the economic rationale behind the Marshall Plan, the agency’s involvement in supporting democratic forces in Europe, and their use of front organizations to influence events in various countries. It also covers the tensions between Fidel Castro’s Cuba and the United States during the Cold War, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, and the various assassination attempts against Castro.
The documentary also delves into the CIA’s involvement in the assassination of Congo’s first Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba, and how they attempted to assassinate him with poison. Throughout the video, former CIA officers discuss their experiences working for the agency, the risks involved, and the need for secrecy in their operations.
The video also provides an in-depth look at the CIA and its involvement in Latin American politics during the Cold War. The CIA is shown to have assisted multinational corporations, engaged in propaganda and political warfare, trained labor organizers against communist movements, and supported military coups. Torture and assassination were also used in the agency’s efforts to combat communism, including the training of death squads and torture techniques in Latin America. The video also discusses specific incidents, such as the Bay of Pigs and the Chilean political situation, to illustrate the CIA’s activities during this period.
In the last section the video discusses the CIA’s involvement in various foreign conflicts, including in Chile and Angola. It highlights the agency’s attempts to manipulate events to further American interests, often at the expense of human rights and democratic values. The documentary also delves into the relationship between the CIA and American news media, with evidence suggesting that the agency planted stories abroad that eventually made their way to the United States. The video presents various individuals, including former CIA agents, who express differing opinions on the agency’s actions and the ethics of clandestine operations. Overall, the documentary raises questions about the role and accountability of US intelligence agencies in shaping foreign policy and their impact on global relations.
At 00:00:00 various individuals including former CIA agents discuss their experiences working for the CIA and the nature of its operations. They discuss covert tactics and weaponry such as poisons and electric guns. One former agent also speaks about being recruited under the guise of working for the Department of Defense before discovering that he was actually working for the CIA. Others discuss the risk of having a secret organization like the CIA, but highlight the necessity of having some sort of intelligence service. The documentary also touches on the history of covert operations during wartime.
At 00:05:00 the video discusses the economic rationale behind the Marshall Plan and the CIA’s role in combatting left-wing political organizations in Europe that opposed the plan. After World War II, there was a fear that the return to unemployment of the depression could be averted only by creating foreign markets for overproduction. Thus, the Marshall Plan was established to provide economic support to the free nations of Europe. However, left-wing political parties in Europe, especially in France and Italy, who were the backbone of the resistance to fascism, opposed the plan, knowing that reconstruction would bring economic and political dependence on the United States. Consequently, the CIA was partly set up to combat on a political warfare basis against the efforts of these parties to impede the success of the Marshall Plan.
At 00:10:00 the speaker discusses the CIA’s support of democratic forces in Europe and their opposition to fascist and right-wing groups. They also talk about the Cold War and how the fear of communist influence was widespread at the time, with Senator McCarthy fueling conspiracy theories about Soviet spies in the State Department. The speaker mentions that the institutions of power which are penetrated include political parties, security services, youth and student movements, cultural organizations, and even professional societies. To combat this, the CIA funded media outlets such as Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty to spread the message of freedom and provide specific instructions for the Russian people on working towards their liberation under the noses of the Soviet secret police.
At 00:15:00 it is discussed how the CIA used front organizations to influence events in various countries after World War II. Examples of organizations that were set up by the CIA include the World Assembly of Youth and Coordinating Secretariat of National Unions of Students, which were used to control and influence their members. The CIA also helped to found the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions. The video mentions Irving Brown, who received money from the CIA and distributed it to labor operations, and how the CIA provided financial aid to French unions during a general strike. Overall, the CIA’s involvement in supporting various organizations was considered patriotic during the 1950s.
At 00:20:00 the documentary discusses the opposition that the communists had towards the Marshall Plan, which was providing economic aid to support freedom and France. The communists attempted to defeat the plan via political strikes called by trade unions and political elements. The US government consequently called upon Irby Brown and Jacob Stone to break the strikes, and they used the help of the Corsican mafia, particularly the racketeer name Fairy Pazhani, who ended up becoming a paid agent of Central Intelligence. The documentary also mentions a conversation between the acting labor attache and George Meany, the Secretary of the American Federation of Labor, where the former gave his views on how unpopular Irving Dunne was and how much damage he was doing to free labor and discrediting people.
At 00:25:00 it is revealed that the purpose of political and front organizations in Europe after World War II was to fill the political vacuum with forces that would be favorable to close relations with the United States and to preclude any left-wing participation in political life. This was achieved through support for anti-communist movements, intervention in the affairs of other countries, and the support of half-assed dictators, military print, or oligarchy that promised to maintain the status quo beneficial to the interests of the United States and its corporations.
At 00:30:00 the documentary delves into the tensions between Fidel Castro’s Cuba and the United States during the Cold War. The US government was concerned with the spread of communism, and viewed Fidel Castro as a threat to its interests. However, some within the CIA believed that the US should not be attempting to overthrow or assassinate national liberation leaders like Castro, but rather work with them. Nonetheless, tensions boiled over when Castro announced the expropriation of US-owned property in Cuba, leading to a break in diplomatic relations and the events that followed. The documentary explores the CIA’s involvement in various operations to undermine and overthrow Castro, including the attempted assassination and sabotage.
At 00:35:00 of the CIA documentary, the necessity of keeping operations secret from public debate is discussed, citing the infamous Bay of Pigs fiasco as an example of when a lack of secrecy led to failure. The documentary includes footage and accounts of the failed invasion of Cuba by human revolutionary troops and the heated denials of aggression made by the US. A former CIA officer stationed in Cuba recounts his personal connections with some of the participants of the Bay of Pigs landing force and his recommendation of individuals for the operation. The epilogue shows exiled family members desperately seeking news of their loved ones while Fidel Castro threatens death for the invaders and President Kennedy seeks bipartisan support for the situation.
At 00:40:00 several individuals discuss the possibility of President Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy knowing about assassination plans against Fidel Castro. While there is no definitive answer, it is clear that many high-level officials within the U.S. government were aware of the constant actions being taken against Cuba, including attempts to blow up power plants and sugar mills. However, no one in the government approved of any CIA-led assassinations, and the head of the agency at that time stated that he had no knowledge of such plans. It is unlikely that any President would overtly order an assassination, but rather issue non-directed orders to solve problems in Cuba.
At 00:45:00 the video discusses various attempts by the CIA to get rid of Fidel Castro, including the involvement of organized crime figures such as John Roselli and Sam Giancana. It is revealed that William K. Harvey was in touch with Roselli during an alleged plot to transport poison pills from Florida to Havana; though there was no evidence that this plot ever materialized. Meanwhile, the CIA’s involvement in operations such as these typically did not extend beyond the planning stage, with the work being carried out by contract agents, gangsters, and mercenaries. However, there are reports that at the time of JFK’s assassination a CIA officer was meeting with a Cuban agent in Paris to provide an assassination device to kill Castro.
At 00:50:00 there is a discussion about the CIA’s involvement in potentially attempting to assassinate Fidel Castro, using methods like giving an agent a device that kills. The committee questions the morality and safety of such covert operations, especially when involving dangerous organizations like the Mafia. The CIAers are quick to note that it is a tricky business, involving evaluations by good intelligence officers and policymakers. The video also shows some historical events, such as the capture of former Congo premier Patrice Lumumba and the CIA’s training camp at Camp Perry.
At 00:55:00 former CIA officers discuss the agency’s involvement in the assassination of Congo’s first Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba, and how they attempted to assassinate him with poison. The operation ultimately failed, and the CIA resorted to convincing Mobutu to have Lumumba killed. The officers also explain how the agency recruited and worked with agents, including how they sometimes targeted people who were a little devious. They also discussed the risks for intelligence officers who attempt to recruit assets to serve the interests of the US rather than their own country.
At 01:00:00 the speaker discusses how the CIA would check the names of potential Venezuelan employees of Creole Petroleum Company against their computerized files for any indication of left-wing political sympathies or membership. This was an example of the CIA assisting a multinational corporation. The CIA was also engaged in propaganda and political warfare throughout Latin America to create the optimum operating conditions for multinational corporations. They created fear and hysteria around the growth of left-wing political organizations, such as the communist organizations, and used forged and false documents to bring about a timely effect in certain areas.
At 01:05:00 a CIA officer talks about how they planted a report in a toothpaste tube to frame a left-wing organization leader who had gone to Cuba on a trip. The planted report in the toothpaste tube was found by the authorities in his luggage upon his return, which led to his immediate arrest and the eventual establishment of a military Quinta. Additionally, the video discusses the CIA’s efforts to drum up support for the Venezuelan charge that Castro was supplying arms to guerrillas in Venezuela by influencing the Argentine government. The video also talks about Kennedy’s policy towards Cuba and how the issue between communism and democracy will eventually be settled by the ordinary working people of different nations.
At 01:10:00 a man who worked for the CIA recounts how he was called to Washington and interviewed for a position in Brazil. His position was supposedly going to be for a phony organization known as the Postal Telegraph California International, which was later revealed as being under the CIA. He was trained on how to organize against communists, and he eventually became fanatical about it. He was later accused of collaborating with the CIA and did not provide a response to the accusation.
At 01:15:00 it is revealed that the American Institute for Free Labor Development was established during the Kennedy period, and it was a joint venture between American trade unions and multinational corporations operating in Latin America. The organization’s cover was education and social projects like developing cooperatives and housing, but the real reason was to create organizers who could go back to their industries and spend time doing nothing but organizing. The organization trained Democratic trade unionists, and it was hoped that they could go back to their respective countries and put into practice some of the things that they learned. However, the organization’s board of directors had prominent American employers, such as Peter Grace, and the list of corporations that contributed included American corporations that had never paid decent wages or provided good working conditions in the United States.
At 01:20:00 it is discussed how the CIA would train and support labor organizers in Latin American countries to turn against the communist movements and prevent them from taking over unions and other organizations. The training included sending people to Front Royal for courses on organizing. The efforts resulted in the overthrow of the Gula regime in Brazil, and the CIA’s involvement was suspected by both the communists and their opponents. The AFL-CIO denied receiving any money from the CIA, and the organization’s books were open to the public. The CIA did not want any records kept to avoid any information leaks.
At 01:25:00of the CIA documentary, it is revealed that the organization led a propaganda campaign and disinformation strategy in Brazil to justify a military coup in 1964. The campaign emphasized the threat of communism and rallied support from women and religious groups. The CIA also supported the coup by providing arms and even naval assistance. The exiled Brazilian president, João Goulart, had sympathies with Fidel Castro and his regime was ultimately overthrown by a bloodless military coup. Many Communist supporters were jailed and eliminated from the labor movement, while the Brazilian economy suffered as a result of the regime change.
At 01:30:00 of the video, the Bay of Pigs is mentioned as a turning point in the CIA’s involvement in training and expanding foreign police forces to fight communism. Byron Angle, a member of the CIA at the time, was recruited to expand and lead this program. A third of the police training was devoted to making them aware of the communist menace. As a result, many countries’ police forces ended up using torture, including methods learned from the United States, when interrogating suspected communists. Victims, including political exiles in Europe, reported being tortured with US Army Field telephones, and they were often subjected to cruel forms of torture with no embarrassment from the torturers.
At 01:35:00 the video discusses the use of torture as a means of interrogation during the Cold War and its ineffectiveness in getting information. The CIA officer interviewed explains that torture is a necessity in the system due to the continued resistance of leftist groups. The video also covers the unsuccessful attempts of the CIA to weaken the left in Uruguay during the 1960s and the promotion of repression during that period. The video then details the story of Dan Mitrione, a CIA officer who worked in Uruguay to improve police intelligence capabilities. Mitrione’s use of torture as an interrogation technique, such as the use of thin wires, is described in detail.
At 01:40:00 it is revealed that the agency was involved in the training of death squads and torture techniques in Latin America during the 1970s. The program school in Los Fresnos, Texas was used to train students from Latin America how to construct bombs and destroy radio stations and cars, with the CIA running the courses. The agency also maintained a subversive control watchlist that included detailed information on left-wing political activists, which would be handed over to local police or military authorities for action. The death squads were then sent to Argentina where several leaders were kidnapped and assassinated, including Hector Gutierrez and Senator Selmeri Collini, prompting the victims’ families to register with police and flee the country.
At 01:45:00 it is revealed that the murder of political leaders in Uruguay, including Mitrione, was part of an international campaign that included assassinations of political figures in Chile, Bolivia, and Europe. Mitrione’s presence and actions in Uruguay were part of a CIA advisory program that led to an increase in torture and brutality. Mitrione was eventually kidnapped and killed, and while the US government denied involvement, the murder highlighted the inhumanity of terrorism.
At 01:50:00 the video discusses the CIA’s involvement in Chile during the 1960s and 1970s. The CIA provided millions of dollars in assistance to various political parties to strengthen them against the agenda supported by Castro. The goal was to prevent IND from being elected president of Chile in 1964 and to elect the Christian Democrats instead. However, after IND was elected in 1970, the CIA launched a plot to stop his inauguration and offered $250,000 for a constitutional ploy to block his election. Nixon ordered the CIA to proceed with the plot with the Chilean military to try to thwart the inauguration of IND.
At 01:55:00 the speaker discusses his efforts to prevent a plot with the Chilean military, which included sending cables to the White House and State Department. The speaker discovered that the CIA had countermanded his specific orders and was secretly plotting with an extreme right-wing group called Patria Libertad, which had been put off limits by him. He also speaks of his meeting with Kissinger and the President where he accidentally touched a sensitive nerve and learned of a plot to eliminate certain individuals in Chile. The speaker suggests that the Chile situation warrants high priority for the entire administration, and everything should be done quietly.
At 02:00:00 of the documentary, it is discussed how the CIA attempted to create a financial squeeze on Chile, preventing the government from governing efficiently. By financing truck drivers, the CIA created conditions that would lead to right-wing military leaders intervening, restoring national order, and appealing to those who seek peace. However, this peace is often the peace of the grave for many people, and it didn’t deter Chilean President Allende from standing up for the will of the majority of Chile.
At 02:05:00 the video provides a collection of transcripts that detail the events surrounding the coup against Salvador Allende’s government in Chile. Orlando Letelier, a former Chilean ambassador to the US, recounts how he was informed of the coup in the early morning hours and how the military demanded that Allende surrender. The video also features commentary from US officials who express regret for the loss of life in Chile but also express that the coup was an internal affair. The aftermath of the coup is also explored, including the torture of hundreds of people in the Air Force Academy basement.
At 02:10:00 various individuals discuss the dilemma faced by those involved in clandestine CIA operations in Latin America, as well as the potential conflict between US and Latin American interests. The video also features a clip of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger testifying about US policy towards Chile during a period of political unrest. The Americans defend their actions as being in the national interest, but there is growing public concern and moral dilemmas regarding the ethics of such actions.
At 02:15:00 of the CIA documentary, excerpts of interviews and congressional hearings are shown discussing the oversight function of the US Congress. It is revealed that the Congress had failed in its duty to oversee the executive branch of government and, in particular, the CIA. Various committees and subcommittees of Congress were tasked with oversight of the intelligence community and its operations. However, it was common practice for the intelligence community to brief only specific members of Congress rather than the entire committee, and often they would not pass on the information to the full committee. Some senators even expressed that they did not want to know certain things. Despite this, the CIA continued to involve itself in foreign conflicts, such as by flying arms to Angola, which would lead to further criticism of the agency.
At 02:20:00 several individuals are questioned about the possible involvement of the United States in the war in Angola. While some deny any knowledge, others admit to receiving CIA funds and support for their activities in Angola. The legality of this involvement is called into question, as the War Powers Act requires that Congress be informed before the commitment of the United States Armed Forces, including paramilitary or other forces, in such activities abroad. Despite this, it appears that the CIA has been recruiting mercenaries and providing them with weapons and training. The reasons for US involvement in Angola are also discussed, including the old Cold War rationale of stopping the Soviet tide and supporting allies who have assisted US policies in other parts of the world.
At 02:25:00 the documentary details the United States’ involvement in Angola and their fear of Soviet and Cuban influence in the region. The CIA spread false stories about Cubans raping Angolan women to generate support for their efforts in the country. While the CIA was coordinating with South Africa, they were almost helpless against the MPLA, and after an attack by Mobutu’s spare commanders, the United States’ effort was out of business. Senator Clark was sent to Africa to confer with southern African heads of state, and the CIA attempted to control the narrative by ordering their chief of station to prepare Mobutu and the FNLA president on what they should and should not say about the situation in Angola.
At 02:30:00 the video describes how the CIA attempted to save face after spending millions of dollars on the Angola conflict. The agency could not provide further funding due to public opinion, leaving the soldiers without support. The families of those involved had difficulty receiving help from the US government, as officials claimed that these actions were not part of official policy. The former soldiers and their families expressed their disappointment in how the government handled the situation.
At 02:35:00 the issue of the CIA’s influence on American news media is discussed, with clear indications that the agency planted stories abroad that eventually made its way to the United States. The chairman questions if the CIA paid people who worked in American journals or for television networks. The head of CBS at that time confirmed that certain relationships had already been established with the CIA and that using CIA agents as sources of information was useful for assessing world conditions. However, the risk of being viewed with disfavor by the public is high now for reporters who work with the CIA to influence American news. The Church Committee was infiltrated by CIA people, and abuses were ordered by presidents, not just the CIA. The main argument is that the CIA is just an instrument for policy execution, and the people who determine US foreign policy are the ones who call upon the CIA and other agencies to execute that policy.
At 02:40:00 the speaker discusses how the CIA consistently maintained relationships with various security services in countries such as Iran, Chile, Brazil, and Uruguay, even though the human rights violations committed by these security services were publicly known. The speaker argues that these institutional relationships continue to some extent and that they must be stopped for real progress on human rights issues. Additionally, the speaker criticizes the actions of ex-CIA agent Philip Agee, who published a book containing the names of CIA agents and their addresses, calling for them to be punished for violating their agreements to keep classified information confidential. Overall, the speaker opposes secret intervention and subversion abroad and believes that individuals must fight against it.
At 02:45:00 a former CIA agent denies any involvement in the killing of Richard Welch and explains that Welch was not killed because of his name or nationality, but rather due to the CIA’s history of destabilizing efforts towards socialism and progress in countries like Greece. The agent discusses the CIA’s promotion of dictators and suppression of human rights in various nations, citing Iran as an example where he believes the United States has benefited from its relationship with the Shah. However, he also acknowledges that the Iranian people may not have shared the same view and that the propaganda coming from the regime was not necessarily reflective of reality.
At 02:50:00 retired CIA officer Stansfield Turner discusses the agency’s involvement in Iran during the Shah’s regime. Turner recounts how the CIA was instrumental in organizing the Iranian internal security police, known as SAVAK, which was well-documented as using torture to suppress political dissidents. He notes that the Iranian people are fully aware of the CIA’s role in creating SAVAK and how this has caused rage and anger towards the US. Turner then takes an oath pledging to support and defend the US Constitution.
In the 1996 documentary titled “The Money Masters“, the history of the banking system is discussed with a focus on the role of debt, private central banks, and the power they wield. The video explains how the Federal Reserve operates outside of Congress’ control, manipulating the credit of the US for their benefit. The video advocates for the restoration of issuing power to the people, as historically supported by prominent figures such as Franklin, Jefferson, Jackson, Van Buren, and Lincoln.
The video also discusses the greedy practices of the money changers throughout history, including fractional reserve banking. It highlights different forms of money used throughout history, such as the Tally Stick system, Colonial scrip, and the establishment of privately owned central banks such as the Bank of North America and the Bank of the United States.
Additionally, the video delves into the wealth and power of the Rothschild family and their role in history, including financing wars and dominating all European banking and industrialization.
Finally, the video describes the role of financiers, patriotism (or lack thereof), and the defeat of the Bank of the United States. The video concludes with a call to action in reclaiming the power to issue the currency to the people, away from the central bank controlled by private interests.
Among other things, The Money Masters video covers the history of banking in America, from the influence of the Rothschild family on America’s banking system to the creation of the Federal Reserve System. The video delves into the struggle between President Andrew Jackson and the Second Bank of the United States, how the bankers manipulated politics and press to subvert Congress and the institution of a gold standard money system in the United States, and the fight for silver money.
It also discusses the secretive meeting between key figures in the banking industry in the United States to create the Federal Reserve Act, leading to the creation of a central bank with a monopoly over US currency, the power to create money out of nothing, and the use of electronic credits to purchase US bonds.
“The Money Masters” further highlights the corrupt banking system and how it has controlled America’s financial system throughout history. The video explores events such as the establishment of the Federal Reserve System, the rise of Hitler with financing from international bankers, the Great Depression, and the gradual transition to a world system of financial control controlled by central banks acting in concert and secret agreements at infrequent meetings and conferences. The video argues that this corrupt banking system is the root cause of the current economic problem and has led to the impoverishment and gradual enslavement of mankind to a few incredibly rich plutocrats.
In the final section, the video discusses the flaws in the debt money system used in America and proposes a monetary reform act to eliminate economic instability caused by the Federal Reserve and fractional reserve banking. The act involves decentralizing the power of international bankers by repealing the Federal Reserve Act and national Banking Act, and withdrawing from the IMF, BIS, and the World Bank. It suggests using a debt-free U.S notes to pay off the national debt and raising reserve requirements for banks to eliminate the need for fractional reserve banking and stabilize the money supply while lowering taxes.
The video warns of the dangers of wealth accumulation and despotic economic domination in the hands of a few and calls on people to educate their members of Congress on monetary reform. It cautions against solutions proposed by international bankers such as returning to a gold standard or implementing a regional or world currency, both of which would only benefit the elite and not the general population.
00:00:00
In this section of the video, the history of the debt-based banking system is discussed. The main point is that the American banking system has been debt-based since 1864, which means that all of the country’s money is based on government debt. This is why paying off the national debt without reforming the banking system is impossible. The Federal Reserve is then presented as a private bank owned by private stockholders, not part of the United States government despite its name. Members of Congress have criticized the Fed over the years, but most don’t take any action, either due to a lack of understanding or fear of speaking out.
00:05:00
In this section, the video discusses the power of the Federal Reserve and how it operates outside of the control of Congress, manipulating the credit of the United States. Although it is not technically a part of the federal government, the Federal Reserve is more powerful than the federal government, including the president, Congress, and the courts. The Federal Reserve determines the average person’s car payment, house payment, and even job stability, proving its total control. The video emphasizes that the battle for control over who gets to print America’s money has been pivotal throughout the history of the United States and has gone back and forth between Congress and privately owned central banks. The solution, according to the video, is for the issuing power to be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs, as the founding fathers intended.
00:10:00
In this section, it is explained that issuing our own money is not a radical solution- in fact, it is historically supported by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, and Abraham Lincoln. In 1913, Congress gave monopoly over issuing America’s money to the Federal Reserve, a quasi-private corporation whose debt is killing the American economy. The money-changing scam started 200 years before Christ’s era. The Jews could only pay with a special coin, the half shackle of the sanctuary, and the money changers had cornered the market on them. Rome was also subject to the power of the money changers, with usury and debased coin becoming the norm and the quality of life suffered. Medieval England was also manipulated by money changers, who started cheating the system; they discovered that they could print more money than they had gold, and usually no one would be the wiser.
00:15:00
In this section, the video explains how the practice of fractional reserve banking was born. Goldsmiths realized they could loan out many times more money than they had in assets and draw interest payments on it without anyone noticing the deception. This fraudulent practice resulted in goldsmiths accumulating more and more wealth and gold. Today, banks in the US are allowed to loan out at least 10 times more money than they actually have on deposit. This results in banks becoming rich by charging high interest rates. However, during the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church forbade charging interest on loans as it was considered hindering the purpose of money. Despite the ban being lifted, all moralists irrespective of their religions denounced fraud and injustice. The ancient goldsmiths employed the strategy of fluctuating between easy and tight money to make extra profits. The practice still continues today, with this strategy being referred to as the business cycle.
00:20:00
In this section, the video discusses the origins of money and how different forms of money have been used throughout history. The video focuses on the Tally Stick system in England which was used for over 500 years and worked well because there was a built-in demand for it due to the fact that it was used to pay the King’s taxes. The video then moves on to discuss how usury laws were relaxed by King Henry VIII in the 1500s, allowing the money changers to hoard gold and silver coins. Queen Elizabeth I took control over English money by issuing gold and silver coins from the public Treasury and taking the control over the money supply away from the money changers. However, the money changers consolidated their financial power and financed costly wars for the next 50 years, leading to financial ruin. The government begged for the loans necessary to pursue their political purposes, resulting in the creation of the Bank of England, which was the modern world’s first privately owned Central Bank.
00:25:00
In this section, the video discusses how private central banks control a nation’s economy and can lead to a plutocracy run by the wealthy. The central bank is essentially a hidden tax, and the government sells bonds to the bank to pay for things it doesn’t have the political will to raise taxes for. The Rothschild family, said to be the wealthiest in the world, used their skills in money creation to loan to governments and kings, which was more profitable than loaning to private individuals. Mayor Rothschild had five sons who were trained in money creation and sent out to major European capitals to open branch offices of the family banking business. They later played a central role in European financial history and that of the United States.
00:30:00
In this section, we learn about the wealth and power of the Rothschild family in the 19th century. Initially, the Rothschilds profited off of William of Hess Cassell’s fortunes by buying government bonds in the British government. However, the Rothschilds became wealthy entrepreneurs themselves, dominating all European banking and financing industrialists such as the Harrimans, Vanderbilts, and Carnegie. The Rothschilds were considered the wealthiest family in the world and financed Cecil Rhodes’ establishment of a monopoly over the diamond and gold fields of South Africa. Even after World War I, JP Morgan was believed to be the richest man in America, but his will revealed that he was only a subordinate of the Rothschilds. Their wealth and power seemingly remain today, and we can see their influence in the Bank of England’s hold over the British Empire and the events that eventually led to the American Revolution.
00:35:00
In this section, we learn about the success of Colonial scrip in providing a reliable medium of exchange as well as a feeling of unity between the colonies. Franklin attributed the newfound prosperity of the colonies to colonial script, which was just paper money that was debt-free, printed in the public interest, and not backed by gold or silver coin, a totally fiat currency. However, England’s Bank officials were threatened by the colonies’ prosperity and asked Franklin how he would account for it. They then hurriedly passed the Currency Act of 1764, which prohibited Colonial officials from issuing their own money and ordered them to pay all future taxes in gold or silver coins, forcing the colonies onto the gold or silver standard. As a result, the colonies fell into depression, causing unemployment and dissatisfaction, which Franklin stated was a basic cause of the American Revolution.
00:40:00
In this section, the video describes the establishment of the Bank of North America in 1781, a privately-owned central bank that practiced fractional reserve banking, which enabled them to lend out money it didn’t have and charge interest on it. The bank was given a monopoly over the national currency, and the value of American currency began to plummet. Even though the bank’s charter was not renewed in 1785, six years later, Alexander Hamilton and Robert Morris convinced Congress to allow the establishment of a new privately-owned central bank, The First Bank of the United States. During the debate, Governor Morris castigated the motivations of the owners of the Bank of North America and warned of the dangers of allowing the rich to establish their dominion and enslave the rest. Despite opposition from some founding fathers, Congress was convinced not to give them the power to issue paper money since the money changers could not stand to have America printing its own money again.
00:45:00
In this section, the video discusses how in 1790, just three years after the Constitution was signed, Alexander Hamilton proposed a bill to Congress calling for a new privately owned Central Bank, the Bank of the United States (BUS). Although the government put up most of the cash to get this private bank going, the bankers loaned the money to each other to buy the remaining stock in the bank. The BUS had a monopoly on printing U.S currency, and the stockholders never paid the full amount for their shares. Over the first five years, the U.S government borrowed 8.2 million dollars from the BUS, but the prices rose by 72 percent in the same period, leaving Jefferson frustrated and unable to stop it as he served as the new secretary of state.
00:50:00
In this section, the video discusses the role of financiers and the lack of patriotism and decency among them. It also delves into the defeat of Napoleon and the rise of the Bank of England, which financed every nation in his path. The video highlights the role of Nathan Rothschild, who personally took charge of a plan to smuggle a shipment of gold through France to finance an attack by the Duke of Wellington from Spain. The defeat of Napoleon led to the emergence of the Rothschilds’ control over the British stock market, demonstrating their ingenuity and power. The section ends with the defeat of the Bank of the United States and the outbreak of the War of 1812.
00:55:00
In this section of the video, the narrator describes how wars have become the biggest debt generator of all time, with privately controlled central banks financing both sides of the war. This was demonstrated in the Battle of Waterloo, where Rothschild used the opportunity to seize control of the British stock and bond market, and potentially even the Bank of England. Rothschild stationed his agent, Rothworth, on the north side of the battlefield to deliver news of the result to Nathan Rothschild. With a legendary communications network, Rothschild quickly used the news to become the dominant force in both the bond market and the Bank of England. By the mid-1800s, the Rothschilds were the wealthiest family in the world, controlling scores of industrial, commercial, mining, and tourist enterprises. Despite their enormous wealth, the family has mainly cultivated an appearance of invisibility.
01:00:00
In this section, the video discusses the influence of the Rothschild family on banking in America. In 1816, just one year after the Battle of Waterloo and the alleged takeover of the Bank of England by the Rothschilds, the American Congress passed a bill permitting the Second Bank of the United States. The U.S. government would own 20% of the bank’s shares, and the remaining 80% of shares were sold to private investors, with the primary stockholders remaining a secret. Critics claimed that the Rothschilds had taken control over the Bank of England and backed a new privately owned central bank in America as well. After twelve years of manipulations of the U.S. economy on the part of the Second Bank of the U.S, Andrew Jackson was nominated to run for president and was swept into office in 1828. Jackson was determined to kill the bank, and in 1832, when the bank’s charter came up for renewal, he vetoed the bill because the bank was not in the best interest of American citizens.
01:05:00
In this section, we see the continuation of the battle between President Jackson and the Second Bank of the United States, as Jackson ordered the removal of government deposits from the bank and placed them into state banks. The bank fought back by using its influence to reject Jackson’s appointment of William J Duane and threatened to cause a depression if not recharted. In a rare show of honesty, Biddle admitted that the bank would contract the money supply to force Congress to restore it. This action caused a financial panic and deep depression, with Biddle blaming Jackson for the crash. Congress censured Jackson, and his fate as president rested on whether they would override his veto. However, with the governor of Pennsylvania’s support and Biddle’s public boasting about the bank’s plan to crash the economy, the tide shifted, and the House voted against recharging the bank.
01:10:00
In this section, we learn about how President Jackson paid off the national debt back in 1835 and how his determination to kill the bank was so successful it took the money changers 77 years to undo the damage. While Jackson did kill the Central Bank, the fractional Reserve banking remained in use by the many State chartered Banks, which fueled economic instability. The money changers struggled to regain their lost centralized power until they resorted to war to create debt and dependency. The American Civil War was not only about slavery, but it was also about many factors at play. The money-changers experienced failure then and wanted to regain control.
01:15:00
In this section, it is explained that the high financial powers of Europe wanted to divide and conquer the United States, fearing that if they remained one block, they would attain economic and financial independence that would upset their financial domination over the world. To ensure this, within months after the first shots at Fort Sumter, the central bankers loaned Napoleon III of France 210 million francs to seize Mexico, making the U.S. heavily indebted to the money changers. Although Lincoln initially applied for loans, he refused to accept the high interest rates demanded, and instead began printing legal tender treasury notes which he used to pay the troops and buy supplies. Lincoln understood that by creating money and issuing currency needed to satisfy the spending power of the government and consumers, taxpayers would save money, and interest money would cease to be mastered and become the servant of humanity. This stance didn’t sit well with the Central Bankers, who were quoted in a London Times editorial to consider it a mischievous Financial policy.
01:20:00
In this section, the video discusses the aftermath of the U.S. Civil War, wherein Lincoln allowed bankers to introduce the National Bank Act, granting them exclusive power to create banknotes. The U.S. money supply would be created out of debt through this system, and paying off debt would destroy the money supply. Lincoln’s Secretary of Treasury, Salman P. Chase, later lamented his role in passing this act, calling it the “greatest financial mistake” of his life. Lincoln was re-elected, and it is suggested that had he lived, he would have eliminated the bankers’ money monopoly. However, he was assassinated and allegations that international bankers were responsible for his assassination surfaced in Canada 70 years later.
01:25:00
In this section, the speaker discusses the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and how it was linked to the international bankers who feared Lincoln’s National Credit ambitions and policy of issuing Greenback currency instead of a gold standard. The speaker explains that the bankers wanted to establish a Central Bank in America, and with Lincoln out of the way, they could proceed with their plan to set up a gold standard money system in the United States. Despite deliberate attacks on greenbacks by European Central Bankers, they continued to circulate in the US until a few years ago. The speaker notes that the concept of America printing its own debt-free money sent shockwaves throughout the European Central Banking Elite, and they may have killed Lincoln, but support for his monetary ideas grew.
01:30:00
In this section, we learn about the monetary contractions that occurred in America after the Civil War, caused by the bankers who wanted centralized control of the money supply and a currency backed by gold. The bankers’ strategy was to cause a series of panics and remove so much money from the system that Americans would either not care or be too weak to resist. Bank loans were called in, and no new ones were given while silver coins were melted down. Congress passed the Coinage Act of 1873, which abruptly stopped the minting of silver dollars, and only gold coins remained. The deliberate money contraction was compared to the fall of the Roman Empire, where decreasing money and falling prices led to a disaster that caused civilization to languish and finally perish.
01:35:00
In this section of the transcript, the video explains how the bankers, who had regained control after the Civil War, manipulated politics and the press to subvert Congress and prevent the return of greenbacks. The bankers used their influence to control legislation, spread disinformation through newspapers, and perpetuate economic cycles that allowed them to buy up homes and farms for pennies on the dollar. An infamous memo from the American Bankers Association called for creating a depression on a specified date in the future so they could demand money and foreclose on mortgages, allowing them to take possession of farms at their price. Despite political pressure for a return to government-issued currency, it wasn’t until 1878 that Congress passed the Sherman Law allowing a limited number of silver dollars to be minted.
01:40:00
In this section, the video discusses the fight for silver money and the famous speech given by William Jennings Bryan at the Democratic National Convention in 1896, which pushed for the reinstatement of silver money. Bryan lost the election to Republican candidate William McKinley, who was heavily supported by bankers favoring the gold standard. However, Bryan’s efforts delayed the money changers for 17 years from achieving their goal of establishing a new, privately owned central bank for America. Men like JP Morgan, who was believed to be an agent for the Rothschilds, led the charge for a new central bank. The video also highlights how President Theodore Roosevelt allegedly used the Sherman Antitrust Act to try to break up industrial monopolies, but did little to affect the growing monopolization of American industry by bankers and their surrogates.
01:45:00
In this section, it is discussed how in 1907, JP Morgan and his friends were able to crash the stock market and cause bank runs across the nation. Morgan was able to offer to prop up the faltering American economy by supporting failing banks with money he manufactured out of nothing, which Congress allowed him to do. Morgan manufactured $200 million worth of this completely reserveless private money, bought things with it, paid for services with it, and sent some of it to his branch banks to lend out at interest. While this plan worked and the public regained confidence, banking power was further consolidated into the hands of a few large banks and led to the creation of the Federal Reserve System. However, some argue that the Panic of 1907 was just a scam by the money trust to acquire more power and spread fear for changes in the banking and currency laws.
01:50:00
In this section, the secretive nature of the meeting between key figures in banking in the United States is revealed. These seven key participants, including individuals from families like the Rockefellers and Rothschilds, met at Jekyll Island to discuss how to bring back a privately-owned central bank and how to address other banking problems, such as the shrinking market share of large national banks and increasing independence of American industry from money changers. The biggest problem these key figures faced was a public relations issue of what to call the newly proposed central bank; some wanted to avoid using the word “bank” in the name altogether. The resulting Federal Reserve Act created a central bank that had a monopoly over US currency, was given the right to create money out of nothing, and used electronic credits to purchase US bonds.
01:55:00
In this section, it is explained how banks use deposits as reserves to loan out over 10 times the amount of their reserves to new borrowers all at interest. This meant that a Fed purchase of $1,000,000 worth of bonds gets turned into over $10,000,000 in bank accounts. The Fed creates 10 percent of this new money while banks create the other 90 percent. Although the plan created a central bank with a high degree of independence from effective political control, the bankers’ subterfuge failed to work when it was identified as the Banker’s Bill, a bill to benefit only the money trust. Woodrow Wilson, who received what historian James Perloff called an indoctrination course leading him to support the bank, was elected. The damage President Andrew Jackson caused 76 years earlier had been only partly repaired. Since then, the battle against the money changers had raged on across the decades, with the Jacksonians becoming the Greenbackers, who then became the hardcore supporters of William Jennings Bryan.
02:00:00
In this section, the transcript discusses how the Wilson Administration, under the influence of Wall Street figures like Morgan, Warburg, and Baruch, broke their promise to the people that they would not establish a central bank in the United States. They established the Federal Reserve System, which was virtually identical to the Aldrich bill that was previously condemned. The bill granted private control of currency and robbed the government and the people of effective control over the public’s money, allowing the big banks to influence the outcome of the legislative process. Additionally, the legalizing of income tax ensured that the interest on the virtually unlimited federal debt created by the privately owned central bank would be repaid through direct taxation of the people.
02:05:00
In this section, we learn that income tax law became unconstitutional in 1909 and Senator Aldrich tried to push the bill for a constitutional amendment to allow for an income tax bill to be passed. Although this amendment was proposed and sent to state legislatures for approval, some critics claim that it was never ratified by the necessary three-quarters of the states required, meaning the amendment may not be legal. However, the money changers were not interested in debating the fine points and the income tax bill was pushed through with the Federal Reserve bill, which allowed for America to be driven into debt. Congressman Lindbergh and Congressman Lewis McFadden were critics of the Federal Reserve Act, with the latter describing the act as bringing about a super state controlled by international bankers and industrialists. Interestingly, even President Wilson began to have concerns over what had been unleashed during his first term in office.
02:10:00
In this section of “The Money Masters” documentary, the transcript highlights how the money changers, who profit by manipulating the amount of money in circulation, had their privately owned central bank installed again in America in 1913 through the Federal Reserve Act. The document also reveals how wars create debts, and the central bankers were primarily concerned with profit potential rather than the political issues of war. The transcript alleges that some of the wealthiest people financially backed communism to consolidate and control the wealth, and they were willing to inspire the power-hungry political conspirators who wanted to overthrow all existing governments and establish central worldwide rule to achieve their goal of controlling the wealth of the whole world.
02:15:00
In this section, the video explores how the Wall Street London axis attempted to control revolutionary communist groups by funding them and then withdrawing funding or even financing their opposition if necessary. Lenin, the absolute dictator of the new Soviet Union, began to understand that he was not pulling the financial strings and someone else was silently in control. The international bankers, represented by Lewis T McFadden, chairman of the house Banking and Currency committee, had a motive of advancing totalitarian governments with the financial clout to control whatever politician might emerge as the leader. Their ultimate goal was world government, as the League of Nations proposal made clear at the Paris peace conference after World War One. Even though it was ratified by many nations, the US Congress failed to ratify it, ultimately leading to its demise.
02:20:00
In this section, the video covers the era of Warren Harding, whose presidency marked the start of a 12-year Republican run in the White House, known as The Roaring Twenties. The country’s debt, which had increased tenfold after World War I, was drastically reduced during Harding’s and Calvin Coolidge’s time in office. However, the money changers of the time began to flood the country with money, increasing the money supply by 62%, leading to a period of prosperity. Former President Teddy Roosevelt had warned the American people about the invisible government, which he called an octopus that controlled city, state and nation. He cautioned against a few powerful banking houses, commonly known as international bankers, and the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests, who control the majority of newspapers and hold a lot of power over political bodies.
02:25:00
In this section of the video, it is explained that in the 1920s, despite strong warnings about the dangers of a rising market fueled by bank loans, prosperity reigned and businesses expanded on credit speculation. However, all this prosperity was a façade, as everything was built on credit rather than solid financial foundations. In 1929, just before the market crash, Wall Street giants like Rockefeller, JP Morgan, and Bernard Baruch put all their assets in cash or gold, signaling the impending crisis. The Federal Reserve then tightened money, which contributed to the Great Depression, causing the money supply to decrease by 33 percent. The crash was not accidental, and conspiracies claim that it was a carefully contrived occurrence orchestrated by the international bankers to become the rulers of America. Even today, top economists like Milton Friedman acknowledge that the Federal Reserve caused the Great Depression, and most of the money that Americans lost during the Great Depression was merely redistributed into the hands of those who had gotten out before the crash.
02:30:00
In this section, the video describes how America’s money went overseas to rebuild Germany, which helped finance Hitler’s rise to power. Representative Lewis McFadden warned Congress that the international German bankers had control of Germany’s industries, soil, production, and public utilities. The Federal Reserve board pumped over 30 billion dollars of American money into Germany, leading to the development of Germany’s modernistic dwellings, planetariums, gymnasiums, swimming pools, fine public highways, and perfect factories. Franklin D. Roosevelt was swept into office, and while at first, he railed against the money changers, he eventually closed all banks and outlawed private ownership of gold bullion and coins, leading to a massive confiscation where those who didn’t comply risked prison time and steep fines. Roosevelt convinced the public to give up their gold to pool the nation’s resources, and a new bullion depository was constructed to hold the illicitly confiscated gold.
02:35:00
In this section, the video discusses how the government, in the 1930s, raised the official price of gold but only allowed foreigners to sell their gold at the new higher price. This allowed the money changers to sell gold they had bought at $20.66 an ounce for nearly double the price. The video also explores the security surrounding the Fort Knox bullion depository and how, after being filled with gold, much of the gold has gone missing and the treasury has persistently refused to conduct a reliable audit. Additionally, the video highlights the exponential increase in global debt after World War II and how the central bankers used this to bring about their three-step plan for global domination, which is now nearing completion with central banks and the International Monetary Fund controlling two-thirds of the world’s gold supply and the ability to manipulate the gold market.
02:40:00
In this section, it is revealed that over the years, America’s gold in Fort Knox was sold off to European money changers at a low price, with the last of the pure gold being secretly removed from Fort Knox by 1971 and sent back to London. The removal of the gold coincided with President Nixon closing the gold window and repealing Roosevelt’s gold Reserve Act of 1934, allowing Americans to once again legally buy gold. It is suggested that the largest fortune in the history of the world had been stolen from Fort Knox, and Ian Fleming’s James Bond series may have been a warning about such an operation. Ed Darrell, a wealthy Ohio industrialist, spent years trying to find out how much gold was really left in Fort Knox and where the rest had gone, but unfortunately never accomplished his primary goal of a full audit of the gold reserves. The government’s fear of the truth about the gold reserves is said to be the reason why they have not conducted a well-publicized audit, and President Reagan’s gold commission was appointed to study the feasibility of returning to a gold standard to curb government spending.
02:45:00
In this section, the video discusses how the international bankers devised a plan to consolidate their power and create a world system of financial control controlled by central banks acting in concert and secret agreements at infrequent meetings and conferences. Under the guise of peacemaking after World War I, the bankers pushed for a proposal for world government consisting of a world central bank, a world judiciary, and a world executive and legislature. Despite intense pressure from international bankers, a handful of US senators, led by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, kept the US out of these schemes, which led to the doomed fate of the League of Nations. However, the US eventually joined these international organizations after World War II under full participation.
02:50:00
In this section, it is discussed how new organizations have created a banking cartel composed of world central banks that gradually assumed the power to dictate credit policies to the banks of all nations. The IMF has been given authority to issue a fiat money called special drawing rights, or SDRs. SDRs are already partially backed by gold and with two-thirds of world gold now in the hands of central banks, the money changers can structure the world’s economic future in whichever way they deem most profitable. Additionally, the BIS, IMF, and World Bank control the money supply for the world. Regulations put into effect in 1988 by the BIS required the world’s bankers to raise their capital and reserves to eight percent of liabilities by 1992, putting an upper limit to fractional reserve lending similar to the way cash reserve requirements do. This regulation meant banks cannot loan more money to buy more time before the next depression, and nations with the lowest bank reserves in their systems have already felt the terrible effects of this credit contraction as their banks scrambled to raise money to increase their reserves to eight percent.
02:55:00
In this section, the video describes how nations become subservient to a world central bank controlled by a handful of the world’s richest bankers, and how the International Monetary Fund (IMF) creates more and more Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) which are used by nations to pay the interest on their mounting debts. The video argues that this leads to a steady transfer of wealth from debtor nations to central banks controlled by the IMF and the World Bank, resulting in the impoverishment and gradual enslavement of mankind to a few incredibly rich plutocrats. The video argues that the problem is far bigger than focusing on individuals or families, and that the corrupt banking system is the root cause of the current economic problem.
03:00:00
In this section of the video, it is explained that the problem of the debt money system used in America is beyond political right and left. The money changers profit from both communism and socialism, as well as monopoly capitalism. This means that they profit from both the big government welfare state favored by the left, and the neoconservative laissez-faire capitalists who want no government intervention favored by the right. The Federal Reserve System is a quasi-governmental agency, but it is designed and controlled by private bankers who operate independently of the government. Although some argue that the FED promotes monetary stability, the FED’s record of stabilizing the economy shows it to be a miserable failure in this regard. The system gives too much power and discretion to a few men, and it is a bad system for believers in freedom. The economy has suffered three major economic downturns caused by the FED within the first 25 years of its existence, which includes the Great Depression. As a result, monetary reform is the most important political issue facing America today.
03:05:00
In this section, it is explained how the Federal Reserve creates new money through a system of fractional reserve banking where banks can generate deposits by making new loans. This system creates over 90% of money and inflation in the country. However, a reform plan that pays off the national debt with debt-free U.S notes, similar to what Lincoln did, and raises reserve requirements for banks, could eliminate the need for fractional reserve banking and the Federal Reserve altogether. This plan would stabilize the money supply and avoid inflation while lowering taxes for the average person. Full details of the proposed Monetary Reform Act are available at the end of the video.
03:10:00
In this section, a monetary reform act is proposed as a solution to guarantee stable prices and eliminate economic instability caused by the Federal Reserve and fractional Reserve banking. The act consists of four steps, which include decentralizing the power of international bankers by repealing the Federal Reserve Act and national Banking Act and withdrawing from the IMF, the BIS, and the World Bank. The Treasury Department would regulate the money supply based on population growth and the price level index, ensuring a steady growth of roughly 3 percent per year resulting in stable prices. The process would be open and honest, with no discretion, except in time of declared war. The proposed act is not a radical solution, as it has been used in different times throughout Europe and advocated by presidents Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Van Buren, and Lincoln. The Guernsey Island is presented as an example of how well a debt-free money system can work.
03:15:00
In this section, the video discusses the need for reform in the banking system. The video advocates for holding Congress responsible in authorizing the issuance of debt-free money U.S notes, and to reform the banking laws to abolish the fractional Reserve banking system. The current system increases the national debt, and Congressional spending excesses are turned into more debt bonds, causing significant inflation. The video argues that bankers will resist these reforms, as it would lessen their control over the economy. However, the video suggests that only by breaking the power of international bankers over the economy through the abolition of the fed and fractional Reserve banking system can significant reform be made.

In this section, the video explains that the American middle class is at risk of being wiped out due to declining wages, foreclosures, and the loss of jobs being sent overseas. The consolidation of wealth in the hands of a few is a source of concern, and if no reforms are made to the monetary system, the middle class will become extinct, leaving only the very rich and poor. The video warns of the dangers of the increasing power of the money changers and the need for education about how our money is manipulated and the need for reforms. The video highlights warnings from religious leaders, congressmen, presidents, and economists about the dangers of wealth accumulation and despotic economic domination in the hands of a few.
03:25:00
In this section, the speaker warns against solutions proposed by international bankers, such as returning to a gold standard or implementing a regional or world currency, both of which would only benefit the elite and not the general population. The speaker calls on people to educate their members of Congress on monetary reform and to not be driven by selfishness or greed. They urge people to remember the importance of greater things and not lose sight of their own souls.
The video “The Collapse of the American Dream Explained in Animation” explores the concept of fractional reserve banking and how it led to the collapse of the American economy. It highlights how banks make money by offering loans, even to bad credit risks and people who don’t need it. The Federal Reserve, which is a private bank owned by shareholders, prints America’s money instead of the Treasury, which has led to inflation and high taxes on citizens to pay back the borrowed funds. The video also shows how a group of bankers, through a secret meeting, created the Federal Reserve and the IRS system, which puts a burden on the American people. President John F. Kennedy attempted to dismantle the Federal Reserve, but his executive order was ultimately discarded by his successor. The video concludes that the global bankers who control the Fed are protected and too big to fail, while ordinary citizens are left unprotected.
00:00:00
In this section, we see a character named Kyle, struggling to pay off his mortgage and keep his job. Hardman, a mysterious figure, appears and takes Kyle on a time-traveling journey to the First National Bank, where they explain how banks function. They clarify that banks make money from loans, and the more loans made, the more money banks make. Banks even offer money, in the form of debt, to bad credit risks, including people who don’t even need it. This leads to a cycle where debt equals money and banks sell it, even to people who can’t afford to pay it back, ultimately leading to financial collapse.
00:05:00
In this section, the video shows the character questioning where the Federal Reserve gets their money to loan to the banks. The Fed is exposed to be a private bank, and not actually ending with federal authority, owned by private shareholders. The character also illuminates that the Treasury is supposed to create money constitutionally, not the Fed, but since the Fed now prints America’s money and not the Treasury, the government must pay interest back to the Fed on the newly printed money. This forces the government, therefore, to impose taxes on its citizens to pay for its own funds borrowed from the Fed.
00:10:00
In this section, a clip from a video titled “The Collapse of The American Dream Explained in Animation” is presented. The clip shows how paper money replaced gold because everyone knew that IOUs were as good as gold, and the banks made money by making more loans without any more gold and charging interest. However, during inflation, IOUs become worthless, and people have to work harder to make less. Eventually, people found out about the scam of fractional reserve banking, which was kept secret and never intended for people to know. The clip ends with the idea that the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
00:15:00
In this section, a group of people make a plan to gain control of the finances of the United States. In 1910, a secret meeting was held at a JP Morgan estate on Jekyll Island, where 10 attendees used code names to disguise their identities. They concocted their most ambitious plan yet – take control of the finances of the United States. This resulted in the creation of a super secret Central Bank that was so concealed from the government and public knowledge. The bankers planned for the banks and corporations to grow around them and eventually deprive the people of their property, leading to their children waking up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
00:20:00
In this section, the video explains how a secret group of bankers created the Federal Reserve and manipulated the American people through their IRS and inflation system. In 1913, during Christmas when most of Congress was away, the bankers presented their treasonous act to Woodrow Wilson, who had already agreed to sign off on it. By creating immediate debt on America’s own money, the bankers could loan money to the banks and government at an interest rate. This created a system that devalued each dollar printed, causing inflation over time, which puts a burden on the American people. In 1963, President Kennedy signed an executive order challenging the Fed, which became the last act of any leader to question the corrupt banking system.
00:25:00
In this section, the video discusses how President John F. Kennedy attempted to dismantle the Federal Reserve by issuing an executive order that would allow the U.S Treasury to issue real money without the involvement of the Fed. Six months after the order was issued, Kennedy was assassinated, and his order was discarded by President Lyndon Johnson. Since then, no president has dared to confront the secret powers behind the Federal Reserve, who print more money and consolidate larger banks, decimating the nation’s will for the benefit of a few. The video claims that the global bankers who control the Fed are protected and too big to fail, while ordinary citizens are left unprotected.
Direct Energy Weapons (DEWs) have garnered attention due to their potential capabilities and controversial applications. These advanced systems utilize various forms of energy, such as lasers or microwaves, to produce precise and directed effects on Targeted Individuals. In this article, we will explore the nature of DEWs, their working principles, their effects on humans, the known ownership by governments, and the motivations behind their use on individuals.
Understanding Direct Energy Weapons
Direct Energy Weapons encompass a range of technologies designed to deliver energy in concentrated forms over a targeted area or individual. These weapons can employ lasers, high-power microwaves, particle beams, or acoustic energy to achieve their intended effects. Unlike conventional weapons that rely on projectiles or explosives, DEWs operate through the transmission of energy waves.
Working Principles of DEWs
The working principles of DEWs vary depending on the specific technology employed. However, two primary mechanisms are commonly associated with DEW operations:
High-Energy Lasers: High-energy laser systems generate an intense beam of focused light. The laser beam can be directed towards a target, causing localized heating, damage, or destruction. These lasers can be further classified as solid-state, gas, or chemical lasers based on their energy source.
High-Power Microwaves: High-power microwave systems emit electromagnetic waves in the microwave frequency range. These waves can disrupt or damage electronic systems by inducing high voltage or current within their components. The effects range from temporary malfunctions to permanent damage, depending on the intensity and duration of exposure.
Effects on Humans
DEWs have the potential to cause various effects on humans, depending on the energy type, power level, duration of exposure, and targeted body area. Possible effects include:
Thermal Damage: High-energy lasers can generate intense heat, causing burns, tissue damage, or even ignition of flammable materials.
Non-Thermal Effects: High-power microwaves can interact with human tissues, affecting nerve function, inducing pain or discomfort, and disrupting physiological processes.
Sensory Disruption: Certain DEWs can target sensory organs, including the eyes and ears, leading to temporary or permanent impairment of vision or hearing.
Known Ownership by Governments
Several governments are known to possess and develop DEW technologies for various purposes, including research, military applications, and defense systems. Notable examples include:
United States: The United States military has invested significantly in DEW research and development. Programs such as the U.S. Air Force’s Airborne Laser and the Navy’s Laser Weapon System have demonstrated the use of high-energy lasers for defense purposes.
Russia: The Russian military has also shown interest in DEW capabilities. The Peresvet laser system and the S-400 Triumf air defense system are examples of Russia’s focus on laser-based weaponry.
Motivations for the Use of DEWs on Individuals
The motivations behind the use of DEWs on individuals remain speculative and controversial. While concrete evidence is scarce, several hypothetical reasons have been suggested:
Military Applications: DEWs offer advantages in terms of precision targeting, reduced collateral damage, and the potential to disable or neutralize threats without conventional weaponry.
Counter-Personnel Purposes: DEWs may be used for crowd control, deterrence, or incapacitation in law enforcement or military scenarios.
Intelligence Gathering: DEWs could be utilized to disrupt or disable electronic devices, communication systems, or other critical infrastructure for intelligence-gathering purposes.
Experimental Research: Governments may explore DEWs for research and development, testing their capabilities, and understanding their potential applications.
Conclusion
Direct Energy Weapons represent a fascinating yet controversial field of advanced weaponry. Their precise effects, capabilities, and real-world applications continue to be the subject of debate. Understanding the technologies, effects on humans, known ownership by governments, and the motivations behind their use on individuals requires careful analysis, research, and scrutiny.
As technology evolves, it is vital to navigate the ethical, legal, and humanitarian considerations associated with the development and use of DEWs. Responsible governance, transparency, and international cooperation are essential to ensure the responsible and ethical deployment of these technologies while safeguarding human rights and minimizing the potential risks they pose.
In a video discussing the US border invasion, Michael Yon joins Clayton and Natali Morris from Redacted to report on thousands of illegal migrants pouring into Texas, and the claim that Biden administration has funded operational camps throughout Latin America to bring migrants into the US.
Lack of facilities at the migrant camps poses hygiene and health concerns for the migrants and locals. The situation exposes young girls to rape, and the spread of diseases such as tuberculosis and scabies is rampant.
Yon warns that the upcoming expiry of Title 42 on Thursday could alter the US’s dynamics, and he points out how City Mayors in New York are actively encouraging this migration as part of a larger plan.
00:00:00
In this section, the host discusses the influx of thousands of illegal migrants pouring into Texas ahead of the expiration of Title 42 on Thursday. He claims that the Biden administration has been actively funding the operation at camps throughout Latin America to bring these migrants into the United States. Furthermore, New York is transforming Central Park, college dorm rooms, container homes, and JFK airplane hangars into migrant housing units. He also notes that the lack of facilities like restrooms poses hygiene and health concerns for the migrants and locals.
00:05:00
In this section, a reporter in El Paso shows the current scenes of the migrant crisis, where around 2,500 migrants are released onto the streets without suitable living conditions. Authorities are preparing for the ending of Title 42 on May 11th, and many migrants are using this opportunity to cross the border into the US. Reports of chickenpox have broken out in some of these minor camps in El Paso, and it is putting a real strain on authorities. Many are calling what’s happening at the US-Mexico border a deliberate invasion of the United States.
00:10:00
In this section, Michael Yon, a former Green Beret who has been extensively interviewing migrants for months, describes the current situation at the Darien Gap and how hundreds of buses are coming through daily for migrants to enter the United States through various routes. He describes the migration as a weaponized migration happening not just in the United States, but also in other parts of the world, and how both the US government and EU are openly funding camps, including state-of-the-art buses for transportation. Michael Yon also points out how the World Economic Forum is openly advocating for this migration.
00:15:00
In this section, the speaker discusses how the US government is funding the mass migration at the southern border, with the military also being involved. They note that young girls are being given a “rape kit” containing contraceptives and morning after pills, which is taxpayer-funded. The speaker also highlights the spread of diseases such as tuberculosis and scabies that are being carried across the border by migrants on US-funded buses and no one is being screened for them. The weaponized migration is affecting not just the United States but other countries as well, and the speaker mentions the impact on Panama and Colombia, where the dynamic of the country has changed due to the influx of Venezuelans.
00:20:00
In this section, Michael Yon discusses the significant migration happening due to the collapse of Venezuela, Haitians living in Chile, and Colombians and Nicaraguans also beginning to migrate through Central America. This mass migration is destabilizing Panama, causing a downturn in the economy and putting a strain on food supplies. Yon warns that with the title 42 expiring on Thursday, the US is looking at a changed country and that City Mayors are actively encouraging this migration, which is all part of a larger plan.
The video explores the possibility of a collapse of the United States, citing concerns over lack of trust in government, partisan gridlock, and the perception of widespread corruption.
The author discusses the weaknesses in the American system of representative government, including challenges in finding and verifying quality information, political schemas becoming entangled with self-identity, and a polarized population susceptible to propaganda.
The role of media, public relations, and propaganda in shaping American perspectives is also examined, and a proposed solution by Walter Lippmann to form a tax-funded intelligence bureau is discussed.
Ultimately, the video emphasizes the need for a “crucial core” in self-government to prevent the collapse of the United States and invites viewers to contemplate a post-collapse world if nothing changes.
00:00:00
In this section, the host poses the question of whether the United States will collapse, citing concerns over lack of trust in government, partisan gridlock, and the perception of widespread corruption.
He goes on to discuss how disillusionment and polarization have become the best predictors for authoritarian takeover, and how this could lead to anarchy or tyranny in the most armed nation on earth, potentially impacting the entire world.
The host then introduces his special guest, Walter Lippmann, a 20th-century journalist and propagandist, who wrote a book called Public Opinion, which highlighted a deeper problem with the American system of representative government.
Lippmann argued that there was a weakness in how power and information flowed through the system, with sovereignty resting in the hands of individual citizens who delegate that power through elections and public opinion. The core idea behind this system was considered radical and experimental at the time of the nation’s founding, and has been subject to challenges and concerns over the years.
00:05:00
In this section, the author discusses how the initial design of the United States relied on individual self-interest being directed towards the public good. However, this design assumed that citizens would only elevate the most competent amongst them and that politicians would heed public opinion.
These assumptions have become vulnerable points of weakness as the nation has grown in size and complexity. Furthermore, the author illustrates how complicated it is for an individual to become fully informed on every issue of the day, using the example of a major tech company’s announcement of creating the world’s first general artificial intelligence.
The video states that modern-day forces, such as destructive propaganda, incoherent policy making and an overreliance on the manufacturing of consent and distractions, are inflaming these weaknesses, making the entire nation susceptible to crisis.
00:10:00
In this section, the challenges of finding and verifying quality information are discussed. The example of Clyde, who has limited resources and time for research is given, which highlights the issue of information overload and distractions that hinder thorough research.
The general population’s ignorance about political issues, and their own ignorance, are pointed out, and Lippmann’s concept of the “stereotype” is introduced as being at the core of political beliefs.
Lippmann believed that people were not discussing political differences rationally, creating a dangerous vulnerability. The importance of intellectual humility, the vast scale of topics, and the need for a variety of quality sources in research are emphasized.
00:15:00
In this section, the video explains the concept of schemas and how they play a role in shaping beliefs and behavior. Schemas are mental frameworks that humans develop to organize and navigate the vast amount of information and memories they encounter throughout their lives.
These schemas can be influenced by past experiences, media, and other factors, and can lead to oversimplifications or inaccurate beliefs about the world. While schemas can be useful in making quick decisions, they can also lead to a confirmation bias where individuals only notice things that reinforce their existing beliefs and ignore contradictory evidence.
Schemas can change over time, but this process can be slow and difficult, especially for complex and abstract beliefs like political opinions.
00:20:00
In this section, the author explains how political schemas often become entangled with one’s self-identity, giving the impression that they are the kind of person who believes certain things and not others.
This self-reinforcing web of belief makes it difficult to engage with evidence or ideas that conflict with one’s beliefs. Political partisans are more likely to make logical mistakes, jump to conclusions, and bend evidence to fit their worldview.
To reduce the detrimental impact of ideological bias, individuals ought to be self-aware and humble enough to know that their thinking is always at risk of these distortions and form a new super schema that connects their identity to this awareness.
The author notes, however, that fostering a political culture that values intellectual humility is unlikely in the United States due to the cultural dogma of the innately rational citizenry combined with the intellectual arrogance and fanatical certainty of political partisans.
00:25:00
In this section, the video explores how a polarized population with unchanging beliefs and rooted in tribalism is susceptible to propaganda. A few tools for self-government to navigate disagreement include persuasion, compromise or bargain, ignoring, or forming a consensus.
If you believe the opposition is insane or evil, then these tools are off the table. The news media is another major player, which often fails in its responsibilities due to its fragmented and sensationalized business model.
True investigative journalism requires a huge investment, but most Americans expect news for free which, in turn, leads to an over-reliance on advertising, sensational content, and click-bait titles that may not always align with the reality of the situation.
00:30:00
In this section, the video focuses on the role of media, public relations, and propaganda in shaping the American perspective. The media landscape is highly polarized and it’s nearly impossible for citizens to have a comprehensive and unbiased view of any issue.
Rather than focusing on accuracy, news media companies prioritize fulfilling their audience’s demand for preconceived ideas to maintain their business models. This gives an opportunity for anyone with enough resources to exploit this weakness towards external and internal threats. The video also details how the emergence of public relations added a new player in the information ecosystem of a democracy, which reshaped public opinion by planting stories, creating artificial events, or even paying people to promote products or ideas.
The combination of radio, film, and PR created a powerful force, but the Internet has become an influencing machine of unmatched power in history, making PR’s presence in American life so common that it is rarely reported or thought about.
00:35:00
In this section, the author highlights the power of public relations and PR agents in shaping information, both online and in political discourse. With the decline of traditional news sources, journalists have become more reliant on PR agents for news, and with the rise of social media, it is easier than ever to sway public opinion on a large scale.
Meanwhile, an idealistic politician faces two scenarios: ignoring public opinion and following their own agenda, potentially leading to manipulation and propaganda, or following public opinion that is influenced by PR agents and their clients, resulting in a lack of coherent policies. Ultimately, the increasing complexity of modern problems and the struggle to solve them can lead to a sense of helplessness among citizens, allowing undemocratic influence to flourish.
00:40:00
In this section, the focus is on the proposed solution by Walter Lippmann, who suggested forming a tax-funded intelligence bureau to assemble experts on national issues to provide an analysis of problems and potential solutions in a digestible report to the public.
However, the solution is now deemed too naive, considering the possibility that the institution may become corrupt over time. While there are institutions in the US that aim to provide knowledge to the people, these have been criticized due to their failures and deceptions, with the entire collection often labeled as “the Deep State.”
To address this, the essential core needs to be developed in the public, which includes the mental tools to audit their own beliefs and schemas, the ability to debate ideas with others, demand accuracy in information sources, and track policy issues over time without falling victim to counter-messaging. While not all people have these ideals, the development of the essential core is crucial to overcome America’s core vulnerability.
00:45:00
In this section, the speaker emphasizes the need for a crucial core in self-government to prevent the collapse of the United States. He acknowledges that the current situation is an active experiment in real-time, but believes that exploring steps towards strengthening this core may prevent decline and destruction.
The speaker concludes by saying that if nothing changes, he fears the collapse of the United States and invites the viewer to join him in contemplating a post-collapse world.
Step into a time machine and travel back to 1982 with G. Edward Griffin’s rare interview of Norman Dodd, an 83-year-old investigator for the Reece Committee.
This revealing interview exposes the infiltration of the New World Order by large corporations that are merging the USA into a world government. Dodd delves into the infiltration of banking and the public education system, providing an eye-opening perspective on how these systems operate.
As a member of the Reece Committee, Dodd has a wealth of knowledge on the subject of tax-exempt foundations and how they contribute to the New World Order.
Gain a unique insight into the political and financial landscape of the early 1980s and discover the truths about the New World Order’s influence on society.
Join G. Edward Griffin as he delves into this intriguing interview with a man who has spent his career uncovering the hidden agendas of the powerful elite.
Interview Summary
Norman Dodd, the former staff director of the Congressional special committee to investigate tax-exempt foundations in 1954, reveals in this video the collusion of the Carnegie Endowment, Ford Foundation, Guggenheim, and Rockefeller Foundation in controlling education in the United States.
He discovered in his investigation that the endowments aimed to alter American history by controlling education after World War I and approached the Rockefeller Foundation to handle domestic education while the international portion would be handled by the endowment.
The focus shifted after World War II to preventing a reversion of life in the United States to what it was before, and the key to their operations was the teaching of American history, which they attempted to alter.
The investigation was later accused of being anti-Semitic by the Republican National Committee, which was a false accusation, and the hearings were eventually terminated due to public outrage.
00:00:00
In this section of the interview, Mr. Norman Dodd introduces himself and explains that he was the staff director of the Congressional special committee to investigate tax-exempt foundations in 1954. He explains that his life’s interests have always revolved around the US and its original founding.
Having worked in manufacturing, international communication, and finally banking, Mr. Dodd was part of a major New York bank during the 1929 collapse, and during this time, his superiors asked him what the next steps were.
00:05:00
In this section, the speaker, Norman Dodd, talks about how he was assigned by his superiors to investigate banking policies and practices in the US, as they suspected something was not quite right. Dodd found proof that conflicting interests had been institutionalized in the banking industry since the end of World War I, which shocked him. His superior then offered him the opportunity to reorganize the bank in keeping with his own ideas, but Dodd resigned instead due to his conscience.
00:10:00
In this section of the transcript, Norman Dodd discusses his career in the financial world, including his resignation from a bank and subsequent difficulty finding work. He also talks about his specific interest in economics and desire to educate people about the dangers of speculative activities in the country.
Dodd then goes on to explain his role as Director of Research for the Reese Committee, which was tasked with investigating the activities of foundations to determine if they were un-American.
00:15:00
In this section of the video, Norman Dodd discusses his testimony to Congress regarding the activities of large endowed foundations in the past 40 years. He defined “unamerican” as any effort to effect unconstitutional changes in the country and explained how these foundations had influenced education in a way that moved away from the principles of the Constitution.
Dodd also speaks about his conversation with Rowan Gaither, the president of the Ford Foundation, who revealed that they had experience operating under directives that emanated from the White House and that they were currently operating under similar directives.
00:20:00
In this section, Norman Dodd recounts his experience with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. After asking certain questions and requesting information from them via a letter, he was invited to come up to New York to discuss the matter further.
There, the president of the endowment, Dr. Joseph Johnson, offered to allow a member of Dodd’s staff to examine the foundation’s minute books since its inception, saying that they could answer all the questions and their counter-suggestion would be obvious from those minutes.
Dodd accepted and later picked a member of his staff who was initially unsympathetic toward the investigation to search the archives.
00:25:00
In this section, Norman Dodd recounts his conversation with Katherine Casey, who was tasked with reviewing 50 years of handwritten minutes from the Carnegie Foundation.
Casey discovers that in 1908, the Carnegie trustees discussed the most effective means of altering the life of an entire people to be war. In 1910, they aimed to control the United States government by taking over and controlling the diplomatic machinery of the country.
After the First World War, the focus shifted to preventing a reversion of life in the United States to what it was before. The trustees realized that controlling education in the United States was critical in this regard and approached the Rockefeller Foundation to handle domestic education, while the international portion would be handled by the endowment.
The key to the success of these operations, they believed, was the teaching of American history, which they attempted to alter but were turned down by the prominent teachers in the country.
00:30:00
In this section, Norman Dodd explains how the Carnegie Foundation, in collaboration with the Guggenheim Foundation and the American Historical Association, sought to influence American history education by forming a group of 20 historians to study and shape the direction of the country.
The study ultimately resulted in a seven-volume report, which concluded that the future of the country belonged to collectivism administered with American efficiency.
Dodd suggests that this story emerged from the minutes of the Carnegie fund, but it was never fully presented to Congress due to opposition efforts that began from the start of the committee’s work.
00:35:00
In this section of the video, Norman Dodd recounts how he and his counsel were ordered to visit Wayne Hayes, the ranking minority member of the Committee on Foundations and Tax-Exempt Organizations, who initially opposed the investigation as an effort to gain notoriety.
Despite counsel’s skepticism, Dodd convinced Hayes to support the investigation by relating to him the spread of communism and the Soviet world. However, adding a top-flight intelligence officer to Dodd’s staff resulted in the Republican National Committee and the White House attempting to stop Dodd from continuing the investigation in the direction Carol Reese had requested.
00:40:00
In this section, Norman Dodd explains how he was given permission to set up an independent aspect of the investigation outside of his own office, which was later opposed by the Republican National Committee and even appealed to the White House.
The committee accused him of being anti-Semitic, which was a false accusation since there was no evidence proving it. Their true intention was to halt the completion of the investigation, which would have exposed the collaboration of the Carnegie Endowment, Ford Foundation, Guggenheim, and Rockefeller Foundation in controlling education in the United States.
The hearings were eventually terminated due to the public outrage, and the charge of anti-Semitism remained a mystery as there was no basis for the accusation.
00:45:00
In this section, it is revealed that Colonel Lee Lorraine wrote a book called “Waters Flowing Eastward” that was a castigation of Jewish power in the world. However, he was dismissed from the staff due to the book’s anti-Semitic nature.
It is further revealed that the motivation behind the creation of big foundations such as Mr. Carnegie’s was to counteract the departure of the colonies from Great Britain, and not to establish collectivism.
But over time, the purpose and direction of the major foundations changed, and today, they firmly believe in collectivism, with the future belonging to this concept. The foundations support communist causes as they believe it represents a means of developing a monopoly that will be beneficial to them in the future.
