I
The Joe Rogan experience
Good to see you great see I've been looking forward to this one me too
All night, I was like woohoo tomorrow's gonna be a good one for you
It must have been very exciting to have the vault
Opened and to get a peek into the machine because you've been describing this
the last time you're on the podcast
You went into depth about USAID and it's very curious why they chose USAID as
the first
Organization for doge to investigate because it seems like they were the ones
that resisted the most. Yeah
Yeah, well, you know the joke that I tell here is it's it's like what they tell
you to do your first day of prison is
You go in you walk up to the meanest baddest SOB and you punch them right in
the mouth
I mean that's basically what's happened here with the White House's first
target being USAID because USAID
Opens up the entire world of the blob of the foreign policy establishment and
it's weaponization of what are supposed to be foreign facing
Department of dirty tricks operations
against domestic opponents and
When it all got opened and you started to see the numbers and the different
organizations and NGOs that were getting them
Was anything surprising to you or was this all what you expected no in fact, I
think?
We're at the tip of the iceberg and what people are going to see on this is
going to completely
Reorient their mental map of how they think the world works
How they think American power projects into the institutions?
Um, and I think the calls for reform are going to get louder and louder as
people realize the the reality that's been constructed around them
Um is is downstream of something that was started very long ago
When when American statecraft to manage the American Empire for the benefit of
the American people?
Began to warp and distort every institution in American life from the media to
now the social media companies to the unions to the universities and academics
To the NGOs and think tanks to the prosecutors to our conception of terrorism
to our conception of
activity in the drug trade
to our
Every you know what what we're really doing with
Public health programs and and the medical establishment and what drives that
You know all the way into
Poverty relief and and you name it. I mean every institution is instrumentalized
by this apparatus
Supposedly to help us but really starting this has been done in u.s. History
before this this happened against the left against the Democrats in the 1960s
and 70s when the cia and and
And you know to an extent its sister orgs like USAID and whatnot were pumping
money
Into domestic politics to stop the anti-vietnam war movement and this led to
the reforms of the late 1970s
The church committee hearing the pike committee the pike committee hearing the
establishment of a senate intelligence committee and house intelligence
committee for oversight, but
even that was a was a very small glimpse into the window the end of the analogy
I give here is like the lion the witch in the wardrobe you know
the chronicles of Narnia where there's this whole cinematic universe you're
living in this house and you there's this closet in the
Back of the you know of a wardrobe and if you never walk through it you never
see that whole world you can live your whole life without seeing it
But when you open that door and you step into it
You see there's an entire other universe here that's been right next to you
this whole time
When you first started working for the State Department do you had did you have
any
Inclination that you were going to get involved and did you had any inclination
that this was going on like did you know already?
Yeah, definitely you already knew. Yeah, definitely. I had already been working
on this for many years
When did you first discover it?
around August 2016
I was I was
deeply passionate about the internet censorship issue
and
You know, I had I had some weird experiences playing chess as a kid where you
know, I sort of came of age when Gary Kasparov lost a deep blue and
AI took over
You know to really
Took the spirit out of a lot of a lot of the chess world and it was apparent to
me as a kid that these AI
Sensors that these AI chess engines were going to out-compete humans
But when I was young the sort of older people in the room were in denial about
it
And when I saw that same thing in 2016 with the the development of AI
censorship
super weapons, you know, I
I call those weapons of mass deletion that they would be like weapons of mass
destruction
But for speech, you know a few lines of code would allow you to
destroy entire political movements
governments
Narratives, there'd be no escape from it. We would permanently change the face
of
political warfare or
Domestic politics, you don't need a standing army of a hundred thousand sensors
if you just have one, you know machine learning
uh, you know
Just ingested a database, you know of 900 million tweets that you can ingest
and then make this sophisticated
Narrative network map of all the different keywords and and concepts you want
to censor and
To me that was that was like the this this free speech
Version or the censorship version of the atom bomb so I started I started that
quest in in 2016
But very quickly that research in the process of trying to trying to write that
um showed these international networks immediately
I mean the the nlp the natural language processing
sort of backbone of this was
Was all being sponsored by darpa and to be able to
Monitor the speech of isis or extremist or terrorist groups and when I saw that
Coming home and being advocated here. I
I dug I spent my whole
Day morning noon night 20 hours a day basically
chronicling archiving
That's how I know so many of these characters is because I feel like I
I know them better than my own friends and family having spent so many years
watching this all you know um
Develop what did it feel like being one of the only people that was sounding
the alarm for?
essentially eight years like you get involved in 2016 and
No one even the general public until you came on this podcast
I don't even think we're aware that this was an issue at all
But even then things got lost so quickly in the cycle of news things just come
and go so quickly
until
doge started
Unraveling all the spending right and you start seeing things like 200 million
dollars allocated to transgender
experiments on monkeys, right like what the fuck
Like this is crazy and that's just a tip of the iceberg and and then the ngos
and then that map
Of 50 000 ngos that was essentially just democratic propaganda
Machine that was exposed that was all just money being funneled in a circular
manner

Totally, I mean it's been
It's been exhilarating
uh, you know, there is a there's a sort of um, I understand the weight of
history here you're we are doing
Open heart surgery on the body of the american empire our influence abroad
And it has to be done well and so
You know, I I want to help the american homeland and so this is a sensitive
process, but you know, obviously
um, it's
It's been a bit surreal seeing the past couple weeks where people are now
I go to my x timeline and I see everyone doing the same exercise that
I gave up everything to to be doing eight years ago going into
You know because all this stuff is open source you didn't need to be an inside
guy to see this if you knew where to look
These are usaspending.gov
You know, I used to joke is the main difference between or was I think until
freedom opened up when elon acquired x and a few
Institutional changes began to happen, uh, you know in in the government and
with and with congress
But you know I used to joke that usaspending.gov was the main difference
During the height of this censorship, uh, you know total control era was the
main difference between us and in russia and china
Which was that we have this sort of autocratic control over information and
institutions by by the u.s government
So do they the difference is is we can go to usaspending.gov and look up how
they do it
and
So when I when i've been going to my x timeline and seeing everybody
independently doing that exercise and finding the joy in that the the self-discovery
process
And being able to share it with people and everybody being able to understand
and make sense of the receipts because
you know this
Framework for understanding it has been has been shared and popularized
That to me as as has been the goal all along to be able to give people the
language and the frameworks to understand
what is so terrifying and
Necessary to reform but that that's right there
You know in front of your eyes if if you only open your eyes to see it
It's got to be exciting though for you to be there on operation day when they
are doing the open heart surgery
It is it is um
You know
We need to make sure that the the patient doesn't die, you know on the you know
on the operating table
Just because it's the right move to do the open heart surgery because the
patient needs it
Doesn't mean that the operation goes well if you know if
The operating surgeons don't know the anatomy of the organ they're operating on
and so that
I see right now is sort of my prime function is to just teach more and more of
the anatomy of the organ
So that the people who are operating on the patient the the american homeland
and
Generally speaking the the american influence and power projection into foreign
countries
Comes out better smarter a little bit more honest
And there is a hard
Domestic firewall against our foreign facing dirty tricks criminal penalties
Against against agencies who uh who go against this civil
Penalties so you can sue both the agencies and the ngos who are sponsored
Maybe with treble damages uh in in a bill from congress so that
If usaid in whatever form it continues to take whether that's at the state
department
Or whether it gets rolled back out into another independent agency that you
could sue the agencies as an individual if you've been
If they've broken that domestic uh
Firewall so that there's an incentive at the agency on their own budget to
tightly oversee these things. There's so much that can be done
to um
To bring this in line in a smarter and more moral
Uh and frankly more effective way and that's that's the task right now
I think one of the most offensive things to americans is that all this was
being done and all this money was being spent
while they were denying money
to people that
clearly needed it
like particularly
victims of natural disasters like maui right
The fact that they're spending all this money on those things and yet they gave
those people a one-time check of
$770 or something along those lines right well this gets to the fundamental
heart of
The breach of the social contract that this thing was whole was always set up
to do
You know, it was it was really set up in 1948 when george kennan
It created this nsc 10-2 this national national security council
We completely reoriented the structure of the american empire
In 1948 after world war ii in 1947, we passed something called the national
security act. That's what established the cia
That's what established the national security council which coordinates all of
our you know foreign foreign foreign facing empire management work
It renamed the department of war to the department of defense so that it didn't
look like we were
You know acquiring territory by military force which had just been banned under
international law
Under the un declaration of human rights. And so we moved from primarily
kinetic warfare into what george kennan called
just two months before he
Created the national the plausible deniability doctrine that we live under he
called this organized political warfare
And uh, and he has a great memo from april 30th 1948. It's just 12 days after
the ci's first
operation first first time it ever overthrew or rigged the election of a
foreign government
This was the april 1948 election in italy that pitted a pro-western
A pro-western candidate against a sort of pro-soviet candidate and so
The u.s state department felt it was essential to
Tipped the scales of that election because it showed that the pro-soviet
candidate was winning 60 to 40. This is all declassified and all the
major people who are involved in that operation have all come out and said this
publicly um, but
So so you know the c basically we threw together this ramshackle effort to tilt
that election by pumping in propaganda
by using
Charities and churches as fronts to funnel money uh into the the pro-western
political party
You know, we piped in you know, the greg garbo movies and whatnot
We worked with some very unseedy very seedy elements of italian society there
We worked with the mafia and we worked with
Mafia connected unions because these were all assets for the war department
During world war ii because mussolini was cracking down on them
So the war department had a relationship with these organized criminal networks
To serve as a beachhead against mussolini, but we kept those relationships
In order to run this pro-democracy regime change thing so in 1948 when we
established the secrecy doctrine doctrine doctrine that we now live under
And all these ngos work under this cover effectively
Because of their sponsoring organizations usaid or cia or state
And he called it the inauguration of organized political warfare and what he
said is
We need to create a covert apparatus to hide what we do
from the from the rest of the world to do
Secret political warfare on the low and the problem is is the american people
are not going to like this the american people
Do not understand the intricacies of international relations
They think there's always an easy political cure-all
And they do not understand that they think there's a fundamental difference
between peace and war
And what he proposed is uh, and this is just two months before this before this
would formally be given to the cia to do
but at the time what he said was
This was this worked gangbusters in italy we need to replicate this everywhere
We need to create a capacity to do black propaganda to do economic sabotage
demolition
There's a whole list of what's authorized under nsc 10-2 and and what he says
is the you know
The american people are not necessarily going to like this and we're going to
need to effectively hide what we do
From them because if they find out then the rest of the world finds out if we're
trying to run an operation in
Eurasia
And we report this in u.s news well, then any person in eurasia who reads us
news now knows about it
and so
That was authorized at the time with some simultaneous with the smith-munt act
which i'm not are you familiar with the smith-munt act?
Is that the 2011 2012 thing where obama allowed people to use propaganda
against united states citizens?
Yeah, that was what was done then under obama was the was the
Effective repeal of it. It was called the smith-munt modernization act
But the modernization
Got rid of the whole purpose of it the the fire the firewall because at the
time the
Media and media control was seen as as the linchpin crux of winning the cold
war
Piping in pro-us uh media influence to so that thought because everything moved
after world war ii from kinetic warfare
And military occupation and we used to militarily occupy the philippines for
example after we won the spanish-american war
But that was that was banned under international law
Territorial acquisition by military force in 1948. So we had to win elections
and and we had to influence the the passage of
laws in foreign countries by having an apparatus inside those countries
That influenced the hearts and minds of people which influenced who they voted
for which then determined the government
So you had to move towards political vassalage rather than military occupation
And what the smith-munt act did is simultaneous with the creation of this in
1948 congress recognized the frankensteinian monster
They were creating by authorizing a covert
Permanent department of dirty tricks and this is their phrase not mine
Uh to do this cloak and dagger to in to to infiltrate in and co-op the
universities the unions
The media the politicians the judges the whole swarm army, you know what?
Have been calling for a long time the usa truman show because you know these
people in these foreign countries have no idea
You know, how many how many of the things they interact with that are
effectively a movie set being constructed
By the u.s state department and its sister influence orgs
But the point i'm getting at here is the smith-munt act in 1948 said okay
You guys can do this state department can do this c.i. I can do this us aid
when it came along 13 years later could do this
but we
So
There was a guy named frank wisner who was known as one of the godfather
figures of the cia
He's known for creating what was called the wisner's worlitzer which was a it's
like a church organ
And that he would brag that he could play the international media like a symphony
to make any media narrative
Go viral in any country on earth because of the the suite of cia proprietary
media functions
And it's net in its distribution network
Especially when the us had first mover advantage and radio and print it's
basically the us and uk real the only games in town
really and having robust
radio film tv and print media so
The smith-munt was said okay, you can do that abroad you can plant fake news
stories in france you can
You know, you can uh...
Have propaganda blair into
Africa or western europe or central asia, but that can't come home you can't
psyop our own people
With your propaganda organ abroad because the point of authorizing this is that
we get cheaper gas we get import export markets
you know, we get a high standard of living because
If a foreign government doesn't want to give up its resources or allow a us
military base
Or allow joint partnerships or or exports of of goods or us multinational
corporations to operate there
Then the american people suffer economically
So it was always designed to say listen you can do this dirty stuff abroad, but
it can't come home
We have them and even that protection which which lasted for 70 years
And only we only lost it a decade ago
We're up against a much actually deeper darker problem with this usaid scandal
and as people will see
increasingly the scandals that will break open at the pentagon and the state
department
Which is that we have a smithmont problem for funding and operations. It's not
just propaganda
the blob our foreign policy establishment can fund
groups that uh
effectively
Work with prosecutors domestically or that uh or that work at media, you know
dual sort of dual use
We give them foreign grants to do media propaganda abroad, but they operate
here
Or social media censorship to coerce foreign countries to pass foreign
censorship laws
That explicitly and are intended to attack us social media companies
And in u.s peer-to-peer speech, so we need that protection
If we're going to keep this function at all, we need a hard firewall and
absolute grotesque penalties for any violation
so
When you're watching all this unfold one of the things that
I've been seeing is that there's been legal action to try to halt some of it
They've been told to destroy any information that they got from certain
databases like what's what's your take on this?
And what whether any of that is going to hold up?
Oh 100%
Well 100. I don't know if it's going to hold up. I think it's going to be a
legal dogfight. This is
You know, it's funny because it's sort of a circular dragon eating its own tail
because you're going after
The primary soft power projection organ of the blob because it's been weaponized
against americans
But what is the blob authorized to do? What what is usaid authorized to do
under statute?
Well, something they call judicial reform
which is usaid
poaching
funding
financially the networks around judges
around around courts around the legal system around the governance structure of
every country on planet earth
I mean and jamie if you want to just go through a fun exercise right now
You can even put on screen just a simple google search so people can see just
how open source this is
And I can walk through specific damning examples of this
but if you just type in on google the word
usaid and then
in in a boolean quotes
judicial reform
and what you're going to see are
you know basically a hundred countries that usaid
is
going after the judges going after the legal system in in order to
rig the scales of justice in favor of the foreign policy establishment's
interest there and this has this has fully come home
And I can I can go through some examples of this for example
there's um
There's a group a group called the occrp
which is you can think of as the corruption reporting project
the
This is a group that
Half of its funding comes from usaid and the u.s. state department
uh
Occrp has to
has to
The usaid and the state department have a veto right over the staff that it can
hire
This is the largest consortium of investigative journalists on planet earth
This is this is the group that broke the panama papers
You know, they got all these hacked documents. They got special access to it
I don't have any facts on this. I'm simply noting that it's an oddity that
a
group funded by a major cia funding conduit usaid
While the cia has the ability to hack
You know any target around the world that's authorized
by the national security council, you know, there's
They're getting these special access documents, uh, that are reportedly either
hacked or leaked and they're being sponsored by
You know
The group that's connected to something with a hacking power, but I don't know
that for a fact. I'm simply noting that for
investigative purposes for
oversight bodies who may want to ask questions
but
They so they they've won hundreds of awards they've their their name has been
you know, so pristine for so long
They've been around for you know almost 20 years and they were sponsored in
order to do
They do investigative hit piece journalism about corruption
And what they do is they go after all of the state department and usaid and dod's
opponents in the region
So for example, jamie, I text you this beforehand, but if the first thing you
want to put on screen
Are the first two images that I texted you this is from the usa.gov website,
and I think this will shock people
uh, uh, when they see this, uh
on
You know with the usa.gov url right there and so that you can you can see how
Yeah, so if you go if you go to the the first page that I texted that text you
and then we'll we'll get to this one
This is the first thing you said okay. I'm sorry the second one then
Yeah, okay
So here it is. This is us aids strengthening transparency and accountability
through investigative reporting program. Okay
What you'll see here is you'll see the life of activity this fund is they are
still being funded through this grant
And this is for europe and eurasia and you'll see the countries eastern
partnership armenia belarus georgia moldova ukraine and western balkans
If you scroll down, you'll see usa spending usa spending you say funding is 20
million dollars
uh
20 million dollars that our taxpayers paid to
Every listen, they don't report on you know kittens, uh being saved from
falling out of trees
Everything they do is a hit piece about an instance of corruption
That can be used by prosecutors in the area to arrest the political opponents
of the state department
And what you'll see here is capacity now. This is the phrase everybody has to
know capacity building
Is what this is all built under that means pumping up the blobs assets whenever
you see the word capacity or capacity building
It means this thing is useful to us. The more money we give it the more
powerful they are to project our influence
And so so if you if you scroll if you go back to that that page, which is page
two of this usaid you think
Here's what you see. So for 20 million dollars of of investment from from usaid
Here are the and this is live on the website and find this in the way back
machine right now because the usaid website's down
This is this is usaid the us government bragging about the achievements of what
they achieved by spending 20 million dollars
At least 4.5 billion in fines
levied against targets of these hit pieces now by the way
I should note that the head of the occrp was busted in a in a major
Documentary that is very little distribution by encourage everyone to watch
where he said
uh because this was this was a this was a
I think a year and a half ago or whatnot, but it was they're up to over 10
billion dollars now
What's the documentary? Um, it's uh, it's on the wikileaks x page right now. It's
by a group of german
uh uh journalists who had one-on-one interviews with
The head of this group occrp as well as the usaid grant coordinator and others
and so it's straight from the horse's mouth
And they they say he says in that interview. I believe his name is drew sullivan
um that it's now over 10 billion dollars and he brags that that is a
I think he said it was a 20 000 return on investment because all these
Dollars were quote returned to government coffers. So for 20 million dollars
Of of mercenary media for the state state-sponsored hit pieces
Uh, the government's got 10 billion dollars back. That's pretty good. That's an
that's a 1995 amazon level
Uh return on investment, but now let's get into the darker stuff
548 policy changes
By the government or actions by civil society in the private sector now
We don't know if these policy changes are good or bad
Do you think usaid would would list them as accomplishments if they were not in
furtherance of us aids or the state department's
foreign policy goals in the region
What they are are saying and in trying to sort of uh speak through their teeth
as they say it
Is that they proudly sponsored hit peace journalism to ruin people's lives and
go after political targets in order to
In order to change the policies of foreign governments from the inside
Now it goes on to say 21 resignations and sackings
Including of a present and prime minister now
the head of occrp in this documentary openly says that
That their reporting caused I think it was five or six different governments to
topple and turn over and be transitioned
proudly so so this is state-sponsored media hit pieces so that prosecutors can
arrest presidents and prime ministers
To regime change their government and install a more pro-us
Political vassal figure in the region and then the last one is 456 arrests and
indictments
And this again is listed as a usaid achievement. We don't know what these
people did
We don't know you know whether they're whether they're guilty or innocent or
whether or not these were political prosecutions
Like you see right now with the new york district attorney's offices, which is
a whole nother usaid connected can of worms
But these are state-sponsored hit pieces for hire in order to get the give the
justice departments
The prosecutors in a region the ammunition to arrest the enemies of the state
The prosecutors don't have the capacity to do a whole investigative journalism
dig
They might not have access to hacked documents that for example the cia the nsa
or deeply connected political insiders might be able to give to a group like
Occrp now now usaid gets a veto right over who they can hire
Occrp has to submit an annual work plan
To to uh to be submitted to and reviewed for approval by the state department
and usaid
And and here's the kicker of it all usaid dug up. I'm sorry
Occrp
paid for by us us taxpayers
Dug up dirt on rudy giuliani's work in ukraine. This is because you know, this
was part of the 2019 impeachment and
uh, you know, rudy giuliani and his work in ukraine so
They went and dug up dirt on rudy giuliani a domestic us citizen and high-profile
political figure actually attorney
To the u.s. President and then
That dirt came home and was used as part of the basis for the 2019 impeachment
of the sitting president donald trump
That would have never happened unless usaid sponsored that those you know that
hit piece work
And then they did the same thing with paul manafort
Because it's the same foreign policy blob that went after trump in the first
place because of his foreign is difference in foreign policy vision around ukraine
Russia and other major this episode is brought to you by better help people

The the lawfare against Giuliani is interesting like what is what is the case
that he lost?
It was in georgia and he was accusing these women who worked at this
Election facility of something some improper improprietary right this is a
different case than that because that you know
This was related to the 2019
Impeachment and all the ukraine
Kerfuffle around the you know the quid pro quo call allegedly that
President trump made to president zielinski
Which by the way we should get to usa's role in the process in the joe biden
Quid pro quo side of this uh in a second but um that case
I believe related to two workers uh in georgia and it was related to the whole
investigation of election fraud
And uh, and whether or not you know, there may have been fraud uh, you know
perpetrated in the uh
In the in the georgia election in I believe it was either 2021 or it may have
been
Um, i'm sorry the 2020 um, i'm not that that case i have not i'm not deep in
the weeds on but I
I have to say this as well
And and jamie if I don't know if if if the whole audience is familiar with this
clip
But it's a it's it's an incredible scandalous clip. Do you remember when when
joe biden?
Was at the council on foreign relations and um and bragged that uh, he got the
top prosecutor in ukraine
Fired by the ukrainian government because he explicitly conditioned the firing
of the prosecutor who was investigating burisma
He expressly conditioned the their receipt of a billion dollars in in u.s
financial assistance on the firing of
uh victor of victor shokin the prosecutor and he said and well son of a b
he was fired and
It's so crazy watching him brag about that publicly
It just shows you what an idiot he is
You know what that billion dollars in financial assistance was it was a us aid
grant
Yeah, it's the carrots and sticks and it's like find that video jamie
Because it's a shocking video and it's just the hubris that and the ego that
someone has to have to speak of this publicly
While it's being filmed not just publicly not just in a room not not even just
saying it out loud
But saying it in front of the council forum relations backdrop
And actually before you play this can I make one quick note for the audience
that everyone can look up publicly
Um the council of our relations was i'm just about to text jamie and another
thing related to this that's that
I'm going to pull up the usa grant so that everyone can see this billion dollar
usa grant that he's referring to here
And what's in the grant details?
But when hillary clinton was secretary of state running the state department
that usa answers to right it's usa is
Independent but guided by the state department because it's a state department
function. It has to advance us interest
Well, when hillary clinton was secretary of state
Um council foreign relations had just opened up a dc office they're new york
based and
She went over them and she made a speech and she said thank you foreign
relations for opening up your dc office
That way. I don't need to travel all the way to new york to be told what to do
I was ahead of the state department
She really said it like that. Yeah, everyone can look this up
That that might not be verbatim, but but that was that was
The it was it was as explicit as that effectively
But if you'll play this i remember going over convincing our team or others to
convincing us that we should be providing for
loan guarantees and I went over
I guess the 12th 13th time to kiev and uh
And I was going supposed to announce that there was another billion dollar loan
guarantee
And I had gotten a commitment from poroshenko and from
uh
Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor and they
didn't
So they said they had they were walking out to press conference and I said i'm
not going to
We're not going to give you the billion dollars
They said you have no authority. You're not the president the president said I
said call him
I said i'm telling you you're not getting a billion dollars
I said you're not getting a billion. I'm gonna be leaving here. I think it was
what six hours
I look I said i'm leaving in six hours if the prosecutor's not fired. You're
not getting the money. Oh, son of a bitch
Got fired and they put in place someone who was solid at the time
Solid still they so they made some genuine
Substantial changes institutionally and with people
Yeah, so there's there's two things to immediately follow up on that
So, jamie, I just I just sent you two things
Uh over over text here
Uh, the first one is the us is that billion dollar loan guarantee
Uh, uh, and then
I I sent you another one about securing commitments and then
It's just wild that someone would be so
Brazen to talk about that so publicly
That's that no one's going to look at that but someone that was solid what was
wrong with the first guy
Let's go into depth
You know the fact that you wouldn't think like maybe someone's going to
investigate
What was the first guy looking into?
Oh, why was my son running burisma?
Like what is going on? Why is he making 10 million dollars a year there? What
is going on?
What is this?
Well, okay, so this was a billion dollar
Okay, so this will actually go go to the go to the other one. Okay, we'll start
with this
Okay, so here's from usaid usaid announces now. This is again the the basically
the final months of the obama administration
Right, you know, this is right before the november 2016 election usaid announces
a billion dollar loan guarantee
Remember he referenced the loan by the way do they pay these loans back?
Well
Depends on if they play ball or not
Uh, you know, this is this is a this is another one of these things, right?
If you're a good boy and you do what the blob tells you to do
Maybe we can be flexible in loan forgiveness, you know, maybe maybe we can
allow you to punt punt the default
But you'll see it's it's a bit but these are the carrots and sticks
This is why we infiltrate and co-opt these institutions and why you have a 44
billion dollar annual slush fund
around the world to do this
But you'll see it's the issuance of the billion dollar loan guarantee to the
governing united of government of ukraine and it's
to support the implementation of governance reforms
So it's for it's it's for the the we condition it on you changing the policies
of your government and this is already
2016 after we
Installed a coup. Yes in 2014. Yes. Yes. I remember the last time I was here
We went over the 2019 zelinski's first month in office
The red lines memo, you know talk about how do you how do you prove you're a
good boy?
Well, when you get a the red lines memo that you will suffer political
instability
Unless you do the 25 below listed policy things with your government
You know
That factors into what the u.s. Ambassador in the region will tell their ukrainian
or other government counterparts
Loan guarantees and whatnot are conditioned on but um so if you go to the you'll
notice that
Biden there used a very specific phrase there about securing commitments
I don't know if everyone caught that I want to note the
The the similarity of that to if you go to the the other screenshot jamie that
text you here
I'm sorry that my my mug is on this. I just pulled this up. What's that? What
are you doing with your lips? Yeah, I well, I know
We'd been talking right before we started filming about about just throwing
receipts up on screen
This is just a live stream series that I do on x and so I but that's they
caught you mid words
I know I know but this is 1.5 million dollars
So so usaid is has given 27 million dollars
In grants to the tide center, which is the 501 c3
It is the fiscal sponsor that gives the 501 c3 staff to the black lives matter
global network
and to a group called fair and just prosecution, which is
basically manages
Prosecutors who are simultaneously funded by the open open society foundation
So they work with alvin bragg and latisha james and all these other other ones
and so but you'll see
Here in this this is a 1.5 million dollar grant
You'll see that exact phrase that joe biden used about
securing commitments from governments
To fight corruption
So
Sometimes this
Diplomatic statecraft this strong-arm pressure is done directly by the vice
president
Sometimes it's done by interlocutors like our state-sponsored ngos
Swarm who allow our ambassadors and allow the white house to maintain a layer
of plausible deniability
that it's
It's an intermediary saying it and they can say much harsher things than what
can be
Conveyed and may be used against you in a formal diplomatic channel
And I said I said one more thing jamie if you pull up if you if you go to my x
feed and you just type in the phrase
USAID burisma
Because this is another element of this again. How is this all weaponized at
home and whatnot?
So victor shokin was investigating burisma
Joe biden personally weaponized usaid in order to force
A foreign country's prosecutor to be fired in order to get that billion can I
can I stop you for something?
What was the investigation of burisma what it didn't entail?
Well, I believe it was a similar corruption, you know corruption probe that
there was
uh, you know that there was misuse of funding all this stuff is is uh, you know
well-documented in miranda devine's book
Uh, the big guy, but if you uh, if so if you if you open those those four four
screenshots
Um, I don't know if you're able to center it or zoom out a little bit western
protection is a great fucking title
Yeah
USAID to help young biden. This is in 2014. Hey, remember when uh hunter biden's
permanent
Blanket pardon goes back to it goes back to 2014. Right. Uh, and so so
This directs usa to guarantee loans. So it's loan guarantees
Uh, for every phase of development of oil and gas in ukraine moldova and georgia
now if you go to go to the next screenshot in this
this is from uh
This is a you know
A a foiled uh, or legally obtained internal document at the state department
Which says despite his room name in ukraine's licheski is actively campaigning
for
He's been sending uh letters to ambassadors. Uh, you know, uh, yovanovich and
and pyatt
Um, they note that hunter biden and devin archer on the board and they say even
internally at state usa does have
cooperation with with burisma
Says pre-existing small scale pre-existing cooperation. They're formally cooperating
with burisma
In the region they're noting that and then if you go to the next screenshot
Now now this again is
Is is state department email traffic that's been unearthed. Okay, so
They're talking about doing co-branding with usaid and burisma
And the public private partnership around usaid and burisma
But then noting quote the very sticky wicket of the hunter biden connection on
burisma's board
And then they go on to say that you know, they want to create incentives for
journalists
To ensure responsible and unbiased very sticky wicked what a weird way to
phrase that in an official email
Right, what they're saying is it would be a major scandal if everyone knew the
extent of it
They know it looks unseemly. They don't want they don't want the media to
report
On on the massive conflict of interest of joe biden going in and kicking out
that prosecutor and conditioning usaid
Money on it while usaid is directly working with burisma
But then the state department using its media mockingbird apparatus funded by
your tax dollars the swarm of ngos
You know as reported publicly this week that 90 percent of ukrainian media
outlets are funded by the us government 90 percent
Talk about a usa truman show jesus christ
And so who if they're funded by the state department guess what there's a state
department grant coordinator guess what if they want
To keep getting their contributions they are going to there's going to need to
be review and approval by usaid
And and by state because often these are these are co-grants and so
They have the capacity to ensure that the incentives are aligned for the
journalists to
Be responsible with the way they report on the usaid burisma connection while
joe biden is weaponizing
uh
Joe is weaponizing usaid to to protect burisma by the way
I should note hunter bines law firm actually pitched using burisma as an
instrument of statecraft to the state department because
The more you capacity build burisma the more endogenous gas ukraine
Is is able to supply and so that's less
Gas being exported into europe from gas prom in russia so they blend this it
advances us national interest
But hey, it makes us rich along the way. So, you know
It's the same reason pfizer gets to keep all the profits, you know for uh, you
know when when they have when there's a mandate a vaccine mandate
You know, they don't uh, they say well, we're just rewarding, you know, this
We're doing such good work. Well, why aren't you if this is a charity?
Why aren't you giving the money back to the american people? You know of what
should we put some cap on this?
It's oh, no, well, we're incentivizing this, you know pioneering approach and
we're uniquely in the position to do it
And what's important about this is this explains
For a lot of people that are very baffled by obvious propaganda and
misinformation that's being propagated by the mainstream media
when you look at
mainstream
newspapers and television shows saying things that are just factually incorrect
And you could research it. It's not hard to find out
And you see them propagate this stuff. This is all the same sort of thing
But this is happening on u.s soil. Oh, exactly. Well, actually jamie if you
pull that receipt back up
There's a there's a paragraph there. We didn't read but that's that's useful to
this
And then there's another topic related to this that I think
Makes this point even harder, but look look at that fourth paragraph there
This is from the u.s state department
Which is in control of managing all of the media assets those 90 of media
assets in ukraine and the ones that simultaneously operate here
I would offer that burisma's incentive to support could possibly read the main
objective of burisma was to create incentives for journalists to offer
sympathetic coverage
Wow main objective of burisma the main objective
It's an energy corporation. Yes. Yes
Humanitarian aid, uh, you know, this is a for-profit company. That's directly
tied such a wild statement
The main objective of burisma was to create incentives for journalists to offer
sympathetic coverage of the company on energy issues
Yes, yes. Wow, right. They they want to pitch it as a sort of you know patriotic
um, you know, uh
pro-western, um, they bought the media they bought the media they bought the
media and they bought the media here
on that topic can we talk about a a related uh
Scandal and frankly monstrosity that the american people need to understand the
full extent of its of its influence on american hearts and minds
No, we can't talk about that. Okay. All right. Well, let's go on to the next
thing
Okay, so, um
Jamie if you if you go to x, um, I think probably the best thread on this
currently published is the wikileaks thread on uh
on internews which just reading some of the statistics and that will help make
sense of some of the the clips and screenshots that i'm going to show you
um about its operations uh
that then impact domestic affairs and and
uh international governments that are allied with this with the state with the
state department
So if you just look up in just type in the word internews one word i-n-t-e-r-n-e-w-s
And uh, and uh, you go to search down the wikileaks profile you'll see
uh, uh
Yeah, here you go if you just top that that top one, you know usaid is pushed
nearly half the
so so this so internews i've been i've been talking about for a long time
but but now the stage is sort of set to really uh
show the extent of this but
What we do is we create these pretty little predicates these pretty little lie
words weasel words to hide from the american people
and especially from foreign governments what we're really doing in the area
So we have a catchphrase uh at at state and in statecraft it's called
independent media
You can think of that as the state department's word for good guy
Okay, doesn't mean independent. They are funded by us. They are not independent
from the government. They literally submit their work and approval
Plans for you know their work plans for what they cover for review and approval
to the u.s. State department
They are dog walked the whole way
But we call them independent because they are said to be independent from
foreign governments who uh influence so basically they're independent from
The chinese government or they're independent from the russian government
So there's just like with the word usaid itself that we talked about last time
It's your mind playing tricks on you you're seeing aid, but it's agency for
international development, right?
Nothing, but they do the same thing with independent media, which is that
Internally to them it means it's a good guy for us because it's independent
from our enemies
But it's but when americans see that they think well independent that means it's
a a free actor who's not being sponsored by any government
But under the banner of usa's independent media and media sustainability
branches we fund half a billion dollars a year
To this network of again over 4 000 media outlets
It reaches 778 million people 9 000 journalists trained remember last time we
went over the train
The atlantic council with seven cia directors and annual funding from us aid as
well as the state department and pentagon
How they were holding up?
I call
bs
Placards and putting trump tweets on screen to flag for disinformation
If you remember we went over that well, this is what training journalists looks
like is they uh is
Is not only do they have the direct?
uh spawn of of of a media octopus
under their direct
Sub-grantee group, but they then go out and train the journalists who work at
all the other ones who aren't directly sponsored
So they reach everywhere and you'll see here. For example, it makes reference
to uh to
You know gene burgo who who is uh, you know making a half million dollars a
year there
And if you go now i'm going to show this this domestic
Impact real quick and then a couple screenshots
So if you this is this has been going viral on x i've been talking about usa's
role in the censorship industry
Forever and if you look up if you just look up uh internews and you just plug
in the name
You know, uh, if you just copy paste that, uh, you know gene burgo thing
Phrase you'll see this in the video section because it's everywhere now. So
So
She made
Speeches for for a long time, but this is a this is a a big one
Um, here you go this one right here. Okay
So usa funded internews ceo pushes for global advertising
Exclusion list to censor disinformation. This is a 28 second clip
Like what they did to x yeah, exactly disinformation makes money and it's that's
one of them
We need to follow that money and we need to work with the and particularly the
global advertising industry
That a lot of those dollars go to pretty bad bad content
And so you can work really hard on exclusion lists or inclusion lists just to
really try to focus ad dollars and challenge
The global advertising industry all around the world to focus our ad dollars
towards
The the good the good news and information the good the accurate and relevant
news and information
So so this is usa sponsoring both sides of this
She runs a 500 million dollar mercenary media for for hippies for hire empire
Sponsored by the by usa. Usaid also gave 68 million dollars to the world
economic forum itself
And and usa's own internal documents show the explicit political targeting of
these advertiser networks
And I can show you receipts on that if you just type in the word seps c-e-p-p-s
uh
And advertiser on my x timeline and and I don't mean to just go receipt to
receipt to receipt actually no, it's okay
Actually before we get to that just so I can close the loop on something that's
a little bit more accessible and less political
Jamie I texted you a screenshot of internews
In in brazil and
Uh, if one of them has uh at the top of it something called rooted in trust
Uh, yeah, if he keeps going up
Yeah, there you go that one. Yep. Okay, so this is internews
with a worldwide media octopus
Sponsored a half a billion dollars a year
You know reaching 9 000 journalists 5 000 media outlets and here's what they
were doing
Um, just in uh, just on just on covet censorship
So rooted in trust is a internews program
It's a global pandemic information response program to counter the
unprecedented scale and speed and spread of rumors and misinformation
All which turned out to be true all which turned out to be true
Our our own cia says that our own you know house
Uh, you know oversight committee says says that now every single step of the
way
There's not one thing they said that turned out to be accurate not the death
rate
Not the ability to stop infections and transmissions not the side effects
Not the fact that natural immunity is far superior none of the not nothing not
one thing not the lab leak theory
Nothing, not even the funding of the research
And the actual lab which is also usaid, right? Yes. Yes, 50 million dollars,
right, right
From uc davis to eco health directly into and you know, because I always say
when it's too dirty for the cia
You give to usaid and that's and that's why you know, that's why you have all
this pandemic stuff
And maybe we can get to that later, but I want to show the scale of this
Uh, you you sponsored your own
State censorship
Rooted in trust has tracked more than 19 000 rumors about the virus across 14
plus languages globally over 81 million people
In response to the unique rumors sourced from each country context
This usaid sponsored pro project has produced a total of over 130 rumor bulletins
500 radio broadcasts and 480 media stories
Through through a series of training opportunities events peer-to-peer networks
and small grants root and trust has supported
550 local media organizations in order to
Scan and ban the internet or and more importantly to connect communities with
directly with timely and accurate covet 19 information
Which all turned out to be lies. I only had time before this to text one page
of this
I mean, this is everyone should go through this this document i'll post on my x
feed and there's there's millions around this
I mean this the whole global coordination was done through this through usaid
and the u.s. State department and its partners in in the in the uk and in nato
And you know the fact that these very organs are implicated in it these strange
darpa grants around creating the the great the gain of function
Um, you know the the usaid, you know, uh, you know grants that we're all
jumping, uh, you know
Animal to human, uh for for these things, uh, you know
The presence of folks like avril haynes the deputy director of the cia and then
head of director of the the director of national intelligence
Uh, you know at these censorship planning conferences for event 201
one the fact that
state and dod and and the uk foreign office all funded all of the censorship
organs like the atlantic council and graphica and these others that
We went over last time, you know, they basically they're the prime suspect for
the crime
And they and they sponsored the entire white blood cell apparatus to swarm any
kernel of truth penetrating the membrane in order to orchestrate the cover-up.
So they're on both sides of it
Um
And and and we you know, we can talk about more about the you know, the inner
news you know work there, but I want to but I want to
This is the darkest of conspiracy theories the darkest of conspiracy theories
was that the leak was intentional
The darkest of conspiracy theories is that this was planned
They knew this is going to be a financial windfall
It is the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the united states by
far from
The working class to the elite. It's like three plus what trillion dollars or
something crazy like that. Yeah
We've already established that it was created in a lab. We already established
that usaid funded it
We already established that fauci at all lied about gain-of-function research
what they were doing
The worst theory possible is that this was released on purpose
Yeah, that would be the worst case scenario. Yeah
Have you ever danced that one around your head?
Because that's that's where you we know they're willing to do horrible evil
shit
But like is there a ceiling on that?
Even now to this day having spent
So much of my life in it. I try
I try to just pursue the leads that I have and then
Try to let the conclusions come to me
Certainly the fact that they funded
The capacity to do this
They
Worked directly with all the networks that were both doing it and censoring it
um is
Puts you pretty much as you know
They created it and they covered up at least the leak
Um in terms of the the intentionality for doing it
That is a really dark scenario, you know, there are a lot of things in american
history
um
That that have that same, you know
Miha leha distinction, you know
Do they do they make it happen or do they let it happen?
Do they let it happen or do they make it happen and both of them are major
scandals that completely change
The the the legitimacy and credibility of policy changes in response to the
crisis for example like
You know take something like pearl harbor, right?
It's been declassified now the mccullum memo the the eight action plan
Are you familiar with with this the yeah, right?
You know and this was you know written
Before the the the bombing and it was eight ways to get japan to attack us
Because you know, we don't have diplomatic cover to declare war on them
but if
If if we get them to attack us and we can then spiral that into a war predicate
I mean the same thing for example with the you know, the north woods memo with
You know pretext to war with cuba and cooking up all these you know hijacking
our own planes sinking our own ships
Doing you know riots on the streets of miami and then saying that it was the
other cuban government behind it
Uh, the same thing with vietnam gulf of tonkin, you know, uh same thing with uh,
you know with the the weapons of mass destruction
Predicate for invading iraq. Did we know that that you know, did we were we duped
and the crime was negligence
For letting our national security state believe the new york times reporting on
you know on chem chemical
You know in biological and weapons of mass destruction in iraq or did we
make that happen did we
Did you know was that he?
Was that something that we knew was not true based on our own intelligence, but
because there was a useful thing there?
And you know
A lot of people have the same thoughts about issues around around 9/11 in any
number of crisis events
and I
I suppose I have my own thoughts on it
They're not fully settled and because they are beyond the evidence. I currently
have
Um, I I I stay in the zone of this is what they did to create it. This is what
they did to cover it up
Here the stars in the sky draw your own constellation from there
That's a good way to put it. Okay back to what you were just about to talk
about
Yeah, so well
So
Again, there's there's two simultaneous tasks that I have
one is to
Burn down these these rogue institutions that have been weaponized domestically
and salt the earth behind them so that these kind of excesses can never come
home again
The other one is
We do need us soft power projection in order to maintain the standard of living
and prosperity that we have
You know, I give the example all the time. No blob. No pencils can't make
pencils in this country unless you depend on
Goverments in Malaysia and South America and you know parts of africa and if if
that's the the case in
You know for pencils now do that exercise with petroleum now do that exercise
with cobalt for example
There's only one there was only one operational cobalt mine in all
Of the us and in 2022 that even that mine shut down
So most of the cobalt's in the congo if you if the if the congolese government
decides they don't want to allow you access to cobalt
Well, there goes your capacity to to create any high technology or renewable
battery or anything
There is potentially a need for some modified and more honest
Restrictions on our department of dirty tricks. For example, the cia used to be
allowed to assassinate world leaders
Um in the in the 40s and 50s, you know
This is where we got in trouble in congo with lumumba or you know, I end air
and any number of these and then
When those scandals got revealed there were
legislative reforms put in place and
Executive branch national national security reforms put in place to say okay,
you can do dirty work, but not that dirty you can't do that
um
The same thing needs to be done now for all of these things, you know many
categories of things for example
We just played internews and the internews ceo
campaigning to
Governments and corporations and private sector civil society organizations
around the world
That they need to economically blacklist
News sites that that operate on social media and those are us news sites. That's
this is the basis of
Lawsuits here in the u.s. Like daily wire in the federalist suing the state
department for uh, because
u.s. News sites are in these advertiser blacklists
And to that end, I want to I want to note two things first
If you if you go to my x feed and you type in the word advertiser or
advertisers
And if you need to you can plug in the word usaid or seps c-e-p-p-s in this
And I want to show you that that this is not
internews gone wrong
This is not a great a half a billion dollar a year grantee of usaid going rogue
and being ideological about this
This is top down
U.s. Government policy from the white house and i'll show you the documents on
that
Uh to the white house executive branch agencies like usaid and state
Uh, okay, uh
If you go to search and you put in the word advertise advertiser yeah
And it could be advertiser or advertisers
Okay, so you there you go. So click on that left the the left image first
This is now we talked about this group seps last time um, you know in in our
In our head a few months ago seps is a a program that is
Basically a joint baby of usaid and the state department and is implemented by
the by usaids key operational arm
the national down for democracy
But this is a usaid program on countering disinformation internet censorship is
what they do
And we went over last time remember we played that that two minute video where
they were
Openly saying that the plan is to get foreign governments to to
Pass legal reform pass laws and regulations to stop the spread of
misinformation on u.s. Social media websites
So us usa would not be able to lobby the u.s. Government to do that because we
have a first amendment europe doesn't
other brazil doesn't but here is from an internal document february 2021
of usaids seps program and
Now this is a 97 page document they
Reference the word advertiser and advertising in this document 31 times in 97
pages
So this is and that was three years before that clip
We just saw how how far back in motion this is and I can go back even further
that in 2017 and share clips on that and how this network
Coordinated the very ad boycotts that that elon is subject to and that brought
facebook and google to their knees when they folded to advertiser boycotts
There you go in order to disrupt the funding and financial incentive using the
same phrases that the internet ceo did to disinform
Attention is is turned to the advertising industry particularly with online
advertising
So they so it goes on to say thus cutting the financial support in the ad tech
space would obstruct disinformation actors
They're not human beings. They're not americans with you know running mom and
pop shops that depend on their facebook page
To be able to promote you know advertise their flower business
No, they're they're they're reduced to the inhuman disinformation actors from
spreading messaging online
So the efforts being made to inform advertisers of the risk such as the threat
to brand safety. So this is usaid saying
We got to talk to these advertisers and say hey, you know
Brand safety is really important to all your little all your brands
It would be a shame if you were known for putting ads next to misinformation
websites like daily wire and the federalist
And that goes on to say additionally with this data
Organizations and these are partner organizations this group steps runs you
know is together with usaid and
And uh in the state for their run network of hundreds of ngos around the world
that all jointly
Carry this out. This is what they're sponsored to do says the aim is to
redirect funding
To higher quality news domains and improve regulatory and market environments
regulatory means laws laws laws laws about this like the eu digital services
act
Redirect so this is a top-down us government plan to financially re-engineer
the entire economics
of
The news industry
In order to make it so that if you spread messaging against the state or
against a sensitive policy issue by the state
You are put out of business. You cannot professionalize you can't compete with
cnn or new york times or msnbc
You just like this is what happened to breitbart for example, and they got
caught up in this web
They lost 99 of their advertising revenue. They were going up like this and
however you feel about breitbart
This is these are the these are the plain facts of this in action
They were a rising star in the 2016 election steve bannon who was you know the
head of that went on to be the basically the top white house advisor directly
They got crushed when ninety nine percent of their ad revenue they this is why
everyone's having to switch
To bilking their our own citizens to pay for it because the natural thing
advertisers would want to do
A return on investment for putting ads, you know on on news sites or social
media
They can't do because they're getting pressure from the government
And so now look at the bottom now. I don't have this but any members of
congress or doge or uh
Or house or senate oversight or white house office of science and technology
policy. I implore you
A few ample examples of advertiser outreach are included in annex 3. I don't
have that annex
It's not it's not available. Uh, you know from uh from on the usa website that
I that I download this from before it went down
The usaid is giving out examples of advertiser outreach how to pressure them in
order to do this
And there's much more there if you go to the next slide for example
You'll see this is uh, this is they have whole categories of what usaid wants
Uh media companies to do wants wants regulatory bodies to do
Wants uh all of its other whole society partners do but here's just the first
two entries from this
What can technology companies do so this is usaid telling facebook twitter
youtube
Uh tick tock reddit twitch
Eliminate the financial incentives nuke their ad nuke their ad revenue if if uh
if we don't like what they say
What could national governments do again?
This is our government funded by our tax dollars
Telling foreign governments that they should regulate ad networks to kill the
ad revenue
of
Advertiser database at state and usaid under the biden administration
And and there's a million more examples like this but but if you want to go to
a really crazy one
There's a youtube video that is is still live. It's uh, it's it's by globsec
Actually before before I turn to that do you mind if am I going no go okay
I text before we're going to go to this 2000 may 2017 globsec video
But before I do that jamie I texted you an image
Of um of a piece that that uh my foundation just published
If you um it says 23 eu organizations drive eu censorship law
Uh, if you uh, yeah, if you scroll scroll up or or actually if you scroll down
um
Oh, you know, actually maybe I didn't text you so it's at the top my x feed
right now
And you'll you'll see it's uh, it might be like the fifth or sixth one down,
but um, you know, just
Down a little bit. Okay. Okay, right there. Okay, so um, so oh, sorry
No, the it's both the one above and below that so before we get to the one
above that
Let's go to the one right below that
I said one one more below that
One more one more one more one more one more one more one more it's it's that
one. It's it's yeah
See those four screenshots
Yeah, so so we just reported this
This is 23 us funded organizations who are all signatories
Or implementers signatories to the eu's code of practice on disinformation
Which if us tech companies don't comply with what the eu a foreign body calls
disinformation
The penalties for that are losing six percent of us social media companies
global annual revenue
Or get kicked out of the entire eu market, which is 550 million people
So, you know, we go through this you know in this in this here, uh, but if you
So not only are they the signatories to it?
Uh, you who you basically helped craft this thing and put the u.s government
stamp on this
Uh, but if you if you go to if you'll see they're also the implementers
They're the ones who are helping define disinformation in the eu that targets
U.s social media companies and u.s news websites
So go to the fourth one go to the fourth the fourth thing right here
Now this uh, my foundation just reported as well
We got access to a a white house
Interagency working group for for
Information integrity this is one of these censorship weasel weasel phrases weasel
words
Information integrity is what you just saw in that usa document about hike
redirecting ad revenue from high quality
High quality news outlets to low quality news outlets
They make that determination by determining high integrity news and low
integrity news
So basically if they like you they call you high integrity if they don't like
you or you're publishing a scandal or you say
Hey, the covet vaccines might have some problems with them. Uh, hey, there
might be some issues with you know
What happened in the 2020 election? Hey, uh, you know
What's happening with our ukraine aid low information integrity? So this phrase
information integrity?
Is is one of these evolving sets of weasel phrases in order to do internet
censorship while making it look like the
It's just an intervention to help you we're making the information integrity
ecosystem
You know, uh better so that we have a healthier information environment
Well, this is directly from the this was centrally coordinated from the white
house
This working group has 26 us government agencies and programs participating in
it. They're partnered with 14 outside
Universities as well as a whole row of private sector firms
Usaid is one of those by the way usaid is a contributor to this in the biden
administration
This is this started in december 2021 really got the wheels turning in december
2022
But this is from the white house office of science and technology policy itself
Where where it's someone from white house the other co-chairs are from odni the
director of national intelligence the job that
Tulsi gabbard is currently uh, you know campaigning for uh, uh,
DARPA, you know, the the pentagon's brain
As well as the national science foundation, which is the civilian arm that that
funds all the censorship work
But here you have from the joe biden white house itself
engagement with international partners
That this this is three years ago
Uh
Before you know before this thing even really kicked in in in in the way that
it now is
Engaging with our international partners outside the the united states on our
censorship efforts
Assessing establishing a partnership with the european union
To provide us researchers now. That's their cover word. That's the big lie word
of all of this. You know these it's operations
But they call them researchers to make it look passive rather than active
And I can go through a million examples of that to show how deep that lie goes
with access to social media data
accessible under the 2022
eu code of practice on disinformation
Every single one of these researchers is connected to the blob whether directly
or indirectly
They're either a part of organizations that are sponsored by us aid the state
department the defense department
Whether transatlantic networks in in the uk like the uk foreign office or they
are indirectly part or they're partnered with one who is
Every single one of these they don't just like researchers they got to be credent
they got to be accredited they got to be credentialed
They got to be vetted in fact a lot of these these internal documents talk
about how
You know only basically the the trusted in inside web should be able to get
access to this
But what they're saying is the us government can't pry that out of facebook's
hands
We have a first amendment we can't we can't make them subject to a code of
practice on disinformation
There is no legislative bill that'll pass congress that will force them to give
over that will force
Facebook to give over the you know the the private messages and all the you
know internal algorithm and spread of information to a random
us university like uh, you know
You know pick your poison the university of washington
Or or the university of stanford to a random university that everything you
thought was safe and secure on the platform
It's not is now being given to a
private
You know university because it was crowbarred out of your out of your out of
the platform's arms by the government
This is the sort of thing the nsa does when the nsa has you know uh secret warrants
forcing facebook
To uh compel you know private information about the platform for the fbi and
you know when they're doing a
An investigation or the nsa when they're doing a national security one
This is doing it for private actors and
They're using foreign governments to crowbar us companies because
We in their eyes are unfortunately bound by the first amendment
There's a lot more there, but I can I can pause jesus christ
It's so amazing how
Thorough it is like the the people that want to think the government is
completely inept
And the conspiracies aren't likely because people are not motivated and not
very good at their jobs
Like the people same people that want to say the government is terrible
They're it's filled with bloat. They don't know what they're not capable
of
Pulling off something
To this with this depth
So when you see it when you actually see it laid out and the mechanism in which
it was done through ngos and through these other
Non-government organizations
It's kind of astonishing it's it's kind of impressive
Oh, it is and you see how it all synchronizes
Just like wisners worlitzer did in you know from 1948 through you know the 1970s
when form
You know formally it was supposed to have stopped but just
That's why I say when it's too dirty for the cia. You give it to us aid
Uh, you know the cia used to do this work
Uh under covert action, but usaid has a couple of cute tricks that make it the
the
The central warehouse for all this and this is why
You know when we started this conversation
I was saying, you know, you ain't seen nothing yet
This thing is going to get so deep and it's going to connect to so many
institutions that everybody thought
You know, like like in the truman show they thought it was their best friend
You know, they thought this thing was totally independent and these were
authentic conversations
You're having with the cashier and it turns out oops, okay
Actually, you're a part of this, you know, usaid sponsor network or the state
or dod or or intel sponsor network because
this is fundamentally covert action that's being done and when
When the when the cia
The cia subject to restrictions on the kind of covert activity it can do every
covert action the cia does which is our
Organ for organized political warfare, you know, george kennan himself as well
as william casey and colby and
Everyone the express purpose of it was to carry out the subversive side of the
political struggle
You know, uh in so that we'd have a mechanism for influencing
uh foreign, you know, the
foreign affairs by creating an internal what what looks to be an organic
you know, uh
Grassroots authentic
Network within the country, but we're actually funding and directing their
actions their actions to be favorable to us interest
but
where i'm going with this is
usaid
is
has
most of the worst scandals
uh
of us statecraft
And covert action in the past two decades have actually been from usa rather
than ci and there's there's a reason for this so
after the
big scandals against the democrats and and and liberals and anti-war groups in
the in the 60s and 70s reforms were put in place
Every co and and and some of this goes back to the forage itself
But every covert action the cia does has to be has to be authorized by the
president and what's called the presidential finding to take that covert action
So if this if the cia senior leadership or a were just a rogue cell
that's not even at the top of leadership, but just a
A rogue desk a rogue portfolio portfolio a rogue network
Wants to run a covert action in a region, but they don't think the president
will approve
Or the president doesn't want to formally sign off on it in case it goes it
goes wrong
They can walk right over to us aid who can do the exact same thing the cia does
Except they can call it discrete democracy promotion because it's not
technically an intelligence agency
So it's not technically covert action. So it doesn't require
executive branch approval
Or for knowledge and they've gotten in trouble on in these cases in some pretty
incredible ways can can I show that please so
Let's start with with even the whitewashed version go to the wikipedia of zunzenio
z-u-n
z-e-n-e-o
Just on the wikipedia and then we can go deeper on this if you want
This was a scandal uh during obama the obama usaid
Uh era now we were running a number of of rogue usaid operations in cuba at the
time by the way
I have to say for the record i'm no fan of the cuban government
I
I'm and i'm not even weighing in on whether it's the right or wrong thing to do
You know in terms of regime change there or you know
Liberating people there from autocratic excess by that government. I'm simply
showing the american people
Where your tax dollars are going
And how these things are structured in order to systematically fool you
And to fool congress and to fool the white house
so for example, so this is
This is and i'll show a couple other things in a second here
But it so this is zunzenio if you have to just scroll for a second
We'll start with this right so it was an online social media just scroll up one
second
We'll start at the top here
It was an online social social networking microblogging service created by usaid
and marketed to cuban users
This was a a twitter knockoff see the background of this is
This is uh, 2009 2014 that period the state department and usaid were gangbusters
gung-ho on the promise of
Arab spring style social media revolutions to topple other governments
You know that the arab spring was a facebook revolution and a twitter
revolution
Usaid pumped 1.2 billion dollars in you know, and we we sponsored these
activist groups and these civil society organizations to learn how to use
learn how to use twitter learn how to use
hashtags learn how to
Coordinate street protests so that everyone knows where to go what street to
show up on you know, what kind of
Slogans to you know to to use in order to create the pro-democracy
You know predicate for it, but the problem was at the time cuba did not allow
us social media in so they said hmm
So they're not allowing twitter in
How can we get a twitter there but without calling it twitter without making it
look like it's coming from the us?
So what they did is they took the exact same thing as twitter same user
interface same like and retweet button
Zunzunio uh is uh is the cuban slang word for for hummingbird so just it means
it's bird it was the twitter bird the whole thing
um, but the whole trick about it was you have to
Make it look like it's coming from the cubans if you're going to do this
operation. So what you'll see is
um
It began running. So this is 2010. This is right, you know during the arab
spring
And what you'll see is they took funds millions of dollars of funds that were
concealed
As humanitarian funds designated for pakistan
now, I don't know if
Joe or the audience if you've looked at a map lately, but
pakistan is not exactly the next-door neighbor of cuba
Right, so and this is the this is the wikipedia whitewashing and we can get
into the deeper layers of this but
Contractors funded by usaid I should note the main contractor was creative
associates international who's a frequent one. It's cai cai not cia
I promise
So they they concealed in the budget from
Senate from congress from the white house national security council
They said that that these were humanitarian funds for pakistan
And then they ran that to their contractor cai
uh
To quote set up a byzantine system of front companies using cayman islands bank
accounts and recruiting
unsuspecting business executives who would not be told of the company's ties to
the u.s government
according to the ap the private companies like creative associates
international uh designed the network the idea
Arose after uh, they were given 500 000 stolen cuban cell phones that were
available on the black market
um
and then what you'll see if you scroll down is uh, okay the network dubbed the
the cuban twitter reached about 60 000 cuban
subscribers
The initiative appears to also have had a surveillance dimension allowing a
quote vast database of cubans and eo subscribers
including gender age and receptiveness and political tendencies to be built
With the associated press noting such data would could be used in future for
political purposes
By the way, these are all in quotes from the internal documents and we can go
through that
The data would then be used for micro targeting efforts towards anti and pro
government users in cuba
The developers aim to at first used non-controversial content such as sports
and music and hurricane updates
By the way, they they used hurricane updates in the internal things, you know
Basically a humanitarian front that if you sign up to this app
You'll you'll know about natural disasters in the area meanwhile. What was the
plan the whole time?
Once they built up enough subscribers, they would begin to introduce political
messages through social bots and encourage dissent
Uh in this in this astroturfing
There's a great guardian write-up on this if you if you go to guardians and zineo
so you can see see how crazy just type in
zineo smart mob
guardian
You'll see the internal files
Explicitly said we're going to lure them in with music sports and hurricane
updates
You have to join you have to join
You know, uh this you know twitter and cuba if you want
You know to be relevant in the culture and see what's trending in sports and
music if you want to be safe in your homes
If you want to know where hurricanes are going
Twitter you know cuban twitter, uh is the the fastest place to get this it's
Humanitarian work for you know, that's we're saving lives by doing this
But the whole point is once they hit a critical mass
They would create rental riots
And and they would use this the same way they used it in egypt and tunisia to
topple those governments under the obama administration
they would organize smart mobs rental riots and if uh
And if you if you scroll down there's some you know, this this is a fantastic
article highly recommend
Uh, there's a lot more there, but but okay stop right there scroll up a little
bit
Okay
Documents show the u.s government plan to build a subscriber base through non-controversial
news content news messages on soccer music and hurricane updates
This is in the guardian
Later when the network reached a critical mass perhaps hundreds of thousands
operators would introduce political content aimed at inspiring cubans to
organize quote
smart mobs
Mass gatherings called at a moment's notice that might trigger a cuban spring
or as one usa document put it quote
renegotiate the balance of power between state and society and
you know
so
One more thing if you want to look up on this you see how that how they conceal
it if you just type in
usaid zunzineo and the word and uh discrete
Or or discrete action and you'll see how usaid when when this scandal popped
off
Everyone said what the hell?
How did this happen? Uh, this is classic cia work?
You're using cayman islands bank accounts. You're saying it's you're earmarking
it for pakistan you know pakistani aid
This has clear implications for us statecraft if this gets busted. This is what
the c is why we task the cia to do this
plausible deniability
If something has diplomatic blowback and we don't want us fingerprints on it
We need a formal intelligence agency because there's diplomatic blowback if
U.S. Fingerprints are revealed. So, uh, no, yeah, uh, just discrete. Um, uh,
yeah
Yeah, like discrete. Uh, let's see if you scroll down. Um
That third one might do but if you scroll down
Uh, buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh if you you put discrete discrete action
It may be put discrete action or discrete covert and action
I believe there's a huff po one on this that's yeah, there you go. Yeah
When is covert action not covert when it's discrete?
U.S. AIDS
So basically
When this and if you scroll down to the bottom of this you'll see if you just
control that for the word senate
you'll see
Last week
Elon musk held an x-space directly with senator joni ernst
Who has been on this crusade to reform us aid accesses and there's a really
scandalous moment there where senator ernst revealed
That she was actually threatened by usaid when she tried to get insight into
what they were actually doing
well
Uh, if if you actually scroll down if you just do the next the next one
basically what usaid said is well
It's discrete democracy promotion. So it's uh, you know, we don't need a
presidential finding for it
Um, uh, okay, maybe this is not there
But basically if if if you control after the word staff that might help it too,
but um
Everyone can look this up independently all this stuff. Uh, okay. Is that the
only okay?
Maybe it's a different article
But basically senate staffers and everyone go on youtube. This is there was a
formal hearing on this to for oversight what happened
and what the staffers said is
This is the staffers on the senate foreign relations committee
Which is supposed to be the thing that reigns in that gives the american people
oversight and accountability for usa gone rogue
And what what this what the senate staffers overseeing usa said is we had no
visibility on this entire operation the entire time
Because usa told us if they had to if they had to tell us what we were doing
people could die
This is classic cia stuff
But this the senate was blocked and I should note again when it's too dirty for
the cia you give it to usaid
This is why these drug operations and these terrorist operations run primarily
through usaid rather than directly at the cia
The inspector general, um, just just two weeks ago put out a report
The first time this has been publicly reported there's been inspector general
at usaid practically from the day it was born it's supposed to be
This is what joni ernst was complaining about senator joni ernst was
complaining about which was that
How how can they get away with this and it's because of the inspector general
who's supposed to hold the agency to account from from the inside
But it's an independent agency. So there's limited oversight from the outside
if you have a rogue inspector general
They keep the whole op in-house don't need to tell the executive branch. Don't
you tell the senate congress?
Run it just like an ali north iran contra style self-sustained standalone off-the-shelf
private enterprise to run covert action on taxpayer dime
But uh, not have it go through the formal approval channels. Well, so basically
You know what what they were doing here in um, you know in
What what the oig report the inspector general report just published and ever
the best article on this and with the the link to it
Is john solomon's just the news?
You know published this a write-up on it as well as the source document from
from the oig's office
We're just now learning this
two weeks ago
Despite them them doing this activity for 30 years it turns out there's a there's
a get out of
Get out of sponsoring terrorism free card at usaid
Which is that usaid cannot directly provide funding to terrorist groups
But their contractors are not required
Under the grant agreements to go through those you know ofac style those
counterterrorism financing if a bank did it
You would go directly to jail. Uh, do not pass go. Uh, you know
Do not have liberty again for the next 20 years of your life
But if usa does it it's completely legal right now
And so this is how you have usaid giving you know, they just last week 122
million dollars to isis. You know, we found
Uh, you know, they they fund all the terrorist groups in pakistan
They fund the you know the terrorist groups in the in the sahel in africa for
what purpose
paramilitary terrorist groups
are
extremely useful to us statecraft as
For for dod special operations work as well as for political destabilization
work. I'll give you a great example
We'll we'll we'll stay in pakistan
osama bin laden um a uh
Peaceful, uh, what uh, what was it? Um
Yeah, a warrior on the road to peace. I remember the puff pieces about osama
bin laden before uh before
The mujahideen the mujahideen
Here's a great clip. Can you find the clip of zbigniew brzezinski? I believe
this is around like 1789
Um air dropping out of a helicopter
1989 no 79, I believe it was uh, yeah, um
It's a big if you type in zbigniew brzezinski
That's going to be a a wallop one to spell live, but um if you just use a big
new
um
Brzezinski you can go to youtube
And uh, you know type in you know mujahideen
um
And you'll watch him airdrop out of the helicopter and make the exact same
speech
That john mccain made to the azov battalion the you know the extremist
Paramilitary faction of ukraine that was banned from getting federal funding
Uh, you know in uh, 2014 when the democrats said they're all nazis
But now they're all you know sponsored and get uh standing ovations from in the
halls of congress because now they are
Geopolitically useful, uh to pump up to capacity build so you go so so you go
U.S. National Security Advisor brzezinski flew to pakistan to set about rallying
resistance
He wanted to arm the mujahideen without revealing america's role
On the afghan border near the khyber pass he urged the soldiers of god to redouble
their efforts. Can you pause for a sec?
Notice how he said he wanted to arm the mujahideen without revealing america's
role role, okay?
The whole point was to pump up this, you know
fundamentalist extremist terrorist group
With the funding and support they need but without revealing america's role
hello us aid that's the function today, but but
We keep keep on it
Of their deep belief in god
We are confident that their struggle will succeed
You know that land over there is yours
You'll go back to it one day
Because your fight will prevail and you'll have your homes and your mosques
back again because your cause is right and god is on your side
That land is yours go out there and take it. We'll give you the money now
Jamie if you can pull up one thing and i'm gonna just talk a little bit more
about this case while you're while you're pulling this up
You can find this I believe on my on my x feed i've posted this clip
But you could also find it searching either x or youtube of john mccain
And I believe he was with lindsey graham making that exact same speech using
the same language
In I believe it was 2016 or 24. I believe is 2016 around then to the as off
battalion folks in ukraine and to the you know to the paramilitaries
It's almost it's almost word for word. Um, you know, this was
But let me let me stick on the mujahideen thing for a second because this gets
back to this fundamental structuring
Why usaid is allowed to is tasked with this, you know, there's a bigger budget
than the cia usa does it capacity builds the assets that cia liaises with
But if the assets aren't there cia has no one to tell what what to do
Yeah, they've none of their you know agents on the ground or
You know case officers can build an action plan unless there are assets on the
ground that have money that have training
That have food that have shelter and us aid steps in to build
To put the chess pieces on the board that that the cia can you know can play
with
Interestingly I should note that the you know
The cia gets a copy of every grant that the national endowment for democracy
makes this was published in the new york times
And in a piece called, uh, you know global uh missionaries for global pluralism
about usaids top operational arm ned
um
but but uh the point i'm getting at here is
Why were we funding terrorists in the 1970s and 80s well according to our
national security advisor?
He's a big new brzezinski the grand chessboard, you know this you know
celebrated uh
apex predator of american statecraft
You know, I think he hit a quote that was something like well, you know arm it
what is arming a few, you know islamic fundamentalists
Matter uh, when weighed against the history
Of america winning the cold war you know that this fundamentally destabilized
and bogged the soviet union down
Um, you know, this was extremely effective. But also how do we fund the mujahideen?
Well, the mujahideen is in
Afghanistan they were before they became al-qaeda and isis
Um, what asset does afghanistan have to play with in order to fund its uh, its
war network?
It's paramilitary network. Well, it's the drug network. They happen to sit on
the uh, you know
Basically, the poppy fields that uh, when exploited comprise 95 of the world's
heroin if you export that
And so the cia backed
State department usaid backed and we can go through receipts of usaid doing the
same, you know
Drugs for cash for guns work in the 1960s
practically from the day it was born
But uh, what they were doing is they were taking those poppy harvests and then
they were depositing them in cia proprietary banks
Like the like bcci the bank of credit and commerce international
Everyone can look this up or if you want to plug in cia bcci and look at all
the mainstream media report on this
It was a major major major scandal
Um, you know big become one of the world's largest banks and it was basically a
cia
front uh, and it was a you know pakistani frontman for this and it was
Converting effectively washing the proceeds of these drugs so that they could
be per so that the mujahideen could buy arms
And while the you know, the pakistani militants were being
You know funded and trained in pakistan and then they you know go to afghanistan
and
Conduct military operations against uh, you know against
Uh, you know against the russians who were our stated cold war enemy the same
thing's happening today though
If you go on my x feed right now, i'm going to show you something related to
this and how this still goes on today
usaid has been busted multiple times
For actually cultivating the poppy and heroin production in
Uh in afghanistan exactly in afghanistan. Uh, this was this was actually the
inspector. You know, there was a
It is one of the one of the adjacent units not I don't think it was directly
overseeing seeing usa, but they published a whole report on this that
Basically usaid, you know was
Keeping the poppy production alive
By doing you know what was said to be
You know irrigation and you know agricultural sustainability
Uh, but targeting it in the in the in the heroin network and this by the way
remember the taliban banned
uh banned poppy production
Uh, and it was after that ban that afghanistan became the source of 95 of the
world's heroin
So usa was growing those crops now
Okay, you can argue well. Hey, maybe it was an accident. Maybe they went rogue
I want to show you something now from an adjacent usa network group which is
Funded on under sent by the us government created by an active congress
If you if you go to my my ex account right now and you type in
Us institute for peace or you just put in institute
peace
You'll you'll see this
This organization gets 56 million dollars a year from us taxpayers its office
is right next to the
U.s. State department. I literally walk by it
Um, it is a so it's funded by the government
It's it's accountable to the government. It's you know accountable to the you
know, the the house
House and senate, you know, uh foreign affairs foreign relations
Uh, it gets all of its money as a pass-through from the u.s. State department.
Yeah, type in it. Yeah, it's yeah
There you go go scroll scroll down scroll down that one that one right there
right there taliban's successful opium ban
so this is
100 top to bottom a direct organ of the u.s. Government, okay, uh click that
click that
there you go
Okay, this how band successful opium ban is bad for afghans and the world
The ban is not counter narcotics victory and will have negative economic and
humanitarian consequences potentially leading to a refugee crisis
How could they say it's not a counter narcotics victory look and look at the
date?
2020 this ain't ancient history. This is less than two years ago
That's great. This is the state department saying
Yeah, listen
95% of the world's heroin, uh, you know keeps it flows from here
Keep the heroin flowing. It would be an economic disaster. Well, what do you
think those drug money?
What what paramilitary networks, you know, you hear about all these terrorist
networks that uh, you know, like
Think about what just happened in syria with isis
uh
Everyone well actually before I go to that
Let's let's get back to isis and the difference between the isis foreign policy
for the obama biden world and trump
I'm gonna connect this but uh, wait, can you pull that back up jamie for a
second?
I just want everyone to see it don't look away stare straight into the sun go
to the next next receipt here
There you go
2024 budget and brief
u.s institute of peace seeking 20 56 million dollars from u.s taxpayers
To promote global peace and security don't you know by keeping the 95 of the
world's heroin flowing
um
in accordance with its congressional mandate and then uh, you know
And then I think I have the next screenshot is just you know showing that they
give any examples of how it would promote peace to keep the
the opium flowing
Well, well because the way they're saying it it's like this orwellian speak
well, yeah
You always have to invert it right when they say peace. It's war
Right, so
So this is this is war for example
us institute of peace was doing the same thing with the albanian drug networks
that formed a
paramilitary fighting squad against the the the yugoslavian government as we
were overthrowing slovenom milosevic
I mean this stuff goes goes way back. I mean, this is created in 1984
somewhat thematic ironic, um, you know by congress
um, and again, this was a ronald reagan creation and why I come back to
You know that thing that just broke the uh, john bolton
uh hand grenade
The holy hand grenade of antioch from monty python. This is the uh, you know
nothing's
Nothing really gets to the heart of what usa truly is than the the image of
john bolton
um
proudly declaring that he was the head of policy and budget at usaid and his
farewell gift from the agency was a
golden hand grenade with his name carved on it
But you know what he said, you know in that in that piers morgan interview
Uh, and I don't know if you we could play it if you yeah, watch it off your
feed. Yeah
Uh, but you know what he said is listen. I said it also said proud reaganot
And this is why I come back to this we're fighting
a number of ghosts from our past here
We're you know, a lot of republicans are fine with fighting woodrow wilson's
ghost
He was the one who you know said make the world safe for democracy and gave us
this
Doctrinal blank check to do soft power
In infiltration work against every plot of dirt and every foreign citizen in
every foreign country on planet earth gives us
The blank check to be a global empire. Okay, a lot of people say okay, we're
gonna focus on us
You know, wilson's a bad guy. Okay, okay, but you're also fighting the ghost of
ronald reagan
You know, I should note that usaid is actually in its headquarters in dc's in
the ronald reagan building
uh usaid play and ronald reagan played
played the key role in fundamentally creating the
restructured
blob that we live under after the scandals of the 1970s that the cia was busted
in
church committee hearings heart attack gun
Mockingbird mk ultra, you know, the assassinations
All that stuff jimmy carter got into power
19, you know 76
Carried out the harshest destruction of cia operations capacity and funding
ever in american history
He laid off 30 of the entire cia operations division in a single day. That was
called the halloween massacre crippled their budget
Then the iran hostage situation pops off in you know 79
Then the national security state argues this wouldn't have happened unless the
cia had its old powers back
Democrats still hated the cia at that time because
It had been directly interfering in their own domestic politics and trying to
thwart
Factions of them just like they're doing today against the mega movement side
of the republican party. You know, the universal thump has been passed around
in that way
But so they couldn't get a legislative bill to do this. So what they did is
they they restructured the
The intelligence apparatus the covert action capacities and the way our statecraft
is done through usaid and the creation of the national down for democracy
To take the baton from what the cia used to do
But the whole point of it is is in tandem now
That's why you have these john bolton at usa. This is why you have liz cheney
at usaid
And this is what we're fighting against in as we're reforming
This is it's not really a partisan issue as I see it even though you know
statistics show there's disproportionate democrat beneficiaries, but
You know the real issue is the mega movement is fighting the the ghost of ronald
reagan past
The the reason republicans loved usaid john bolton types liz cheney types love
it is because
This was our muscle for us chamber of commerce multinational companies
to pad their profits
because exxon and mo exxon mobile how many you know how many hundreds of
billions in the aggregate
Has exxon mobile and chevron benefited from from us regime change efforts or us
pressure on foreign governments in order to give them access
To the petroleum in order to do partnerships with those governments. We saw
that just
You know a few years ago as we just went over with joe biden doing the same
thing for burisma
But so the big the big multinational businesses love this and it was sold as
trickle down economics
This is the the reaganite sort of reaganomics
And why it's attached to the hip with us aid and why this is something we need
to keep in mind as we reform
Is that the idea was is look
We do some dirty work abroad but at the end of the day that
Pads profits and revenue for us companies those us companies employ us
citizens and they build manufacturing plants in ohio and and in colorado and
new mexico and
That's what allows you to have 401ks. That's what allows you have discretionary
income
That's what allows you to afford higher education and houses and and a
retirement plan
The problem was is as globalization
Kept on a kept apace, you know through the 90s and 2000s
These same multinational corporations that the reaganite, you know trickle down
economics
Uh, you know use the blob to to to to support the chamber of commerce
They don't hire their labor here anymore. They don't have their manufacturing
facilities here anymore
You know, we're not the primary export market for this
So you have us state state department and usaid paying to help the corporate
welfare
of
nominally us-based companies
but the trickle it's it's all being kept within that secular blob of the you
know the thicket of
government officials
equity holders in these corporations
Foreign currency speculators, you know banking on the activity in the region
You know the the banks financial firms and and political insiders
And so it doesn't actually get down to the people anymore. So you do need to
restructure if you're going to keep using this
in order to qualify you have to have
a certain minimal threshold
of
Reinvestment in america, which i'm very happy that trump is doing by trying to
bring all this investment
You know, you saw with japan and other countries is trying to get them double
triple their commitments
We need to demand that of our of our own corporations if they want to have a
meeting with the secretary of state
Or the or the head of the central intelligence agency like pepsi did in the
1970s when we overthrew that if you want to go there
This is also this is it's so deep
That it makes you wonder is there enough time in four years to unravel this
stuff
Oh, no, not four years. This is this is a this is a 50-year project 50-year
project. Oh, yeah
There are many fractal layers to this reform process
Um, and every step of the way there are going to be layers of resistance. I don't
think
The the people who are look we should spike footballs. We should pop champagne.
We should do a touchdown dance on this
This is the first serious time in american history that the foreign policy
establishment has had to be accountable to the people who pay for it
Even the church committee
Didn't cause the entire shutdown of a federal agency didn't layoff. You know
remember I mentioned the uh
The halloween massacre jimmy carter 30 percent of the workforce laid off
Yeah, we'll try what just happened with usaid which employs
You know a lot more people than even the cia did you know at that time
99 99 percent went from 14 000 down to 290. This is in every way
metabolically operationally
um financially
The hardest blow the blob has ever had to suffer in terms of accountability
And it's only getting way deeper from here because he's only been in office for
a month
Yeah, well, that's why we have we need to create
a legacy in a pipeline of people to carry on these reforms, which is
part of my personal struggle here, which is that
Most people
99 percent of people who got involved with the mega movement did it because
they care about the domestic
They care about you know, we talked about this they they got because they're
there's their school curriculum is woke
Because the the the police allow crime, you know in the streets and you know,
you you know
The infrastructure is crumbling and there's corruption everywhere and no one's
held accountable
They don't think about pakistan. They don't think about bangladesh. They don't
think they don't they don't they don't think about
you know, uh
Who's on the us azerbaijan chamber of commerce and you know how if they're
living in louisiana or houston
or uh, you know
Oklahoma that actually their jobs at exxon mobil and chevron sort of depend on
these you know
This strong arm diplomacy that we have with
Persian gulf countries. They don't care about the persian gulf. They care about
local oklahoma
And but they have to now
In order to understand the world they live in in order to understand what's
what's driving the world around them in order to understand
The actual true face of the characters they thought they've known
They're going to have to become
International minded they're going to have to become versed in the interplay
between the domestic and the international
One of the problems when I started out this journey in 2016 is there was no
mega foreign policy intelligentsia
I could make all of these you know, I was I was traveling the country
Slideshow presentation after slideshow presentation talking to every human I
could
Even dc insiders in in you know, uh in in mag world
You'd show them all of this and they they didn't have a framework for
understanding it. They could they could see
That they could see that the information was true. They could see that this is
these are you know
Formal government documents. These are formal grant outlays to real
organizations run by real people with real names and addresses
It's you know, but
But they didn't on you'd have to explain the function of every single one of
those
You know, you'd have to explain for example that um
The pentagon does an awful lot more than kinetic military activity, you know,
for example when I draw this is this is what's coming next, right?
President trump
tasked
Elon musk was sick and the doge dogs on uh on the pentagon
And uh, you know depending on how you measure it
the size of waste fraud abuse of the pentagon ranges from
A couple hundred billion. They are the biggest, you know federal agency in all
this
They have 900 billion dollar budget compared to only 44 billion at us aid
And even less at cia. So they but you know, the this yahoo finance, you know
published this a couple years ago
35 trillion dollar black hole if you want to pull up that receipt on screen
just so
I don't look like i'm saying this directly myself, but just type in 35 trillion
pentagon black hole
That's larger than
You know the entire national debt just the amount of
Just a black hole in the size of the accounting budget of the pentagon
Over the years from its continual, uh, you know failing, you know, this is on
yahoo finance, you know, this is and this is what 2020 I think
you have
When america was born in 1789 in the first meeting of congress
There were only three agencies that were created in the beginning of time
Shall we say the first act of congress was to create the department of state
the department of treasury and the department of war
And the defense department is that is the department became the department of
war in 19
the power of war became the department of defense in 1948
What what people even now they're seeing these these usa scandals with funding
to the democrats or funding to some of these blob internationalist republicans
or
Funding these media institutions
You ain't see nothing yet when you get to the pentagon stuff because usaid
was
Created effectively in part to assist pentagon activity under humanitarian
front
And I talk about this a lot, but I feel the point is underappreciated
So this is sort of a good moment to go over it. Am I talking too much by the
way? No perfect. Okay
So everyone you know they say
You know jfk is a martyred figure you know and in the news uh again this week
obviously with uh, you know the
the new trove of documents and whatnot and trump's eo around uh, you know
the source of his assassination, but the fact that jfk created
um
uh created usaid by executive order in 1961 and he is
Known and loved as a is a martyred figure regardless of who in the end killed
him
um
has given a sort of public in in premature
on
usaid
As a or usaid as it used to be called and you know, uh, you know in order to
Try to
Make clear that it was not, uh, you know in aid organization, but
Um now now almost you know even that parlance has dropped off as they need to
defend it more and more, but
So they they think okay, you know jfk martyred deeply beloved figure. He
created usaid
It was sort of out of the kindness of his heart. It was a charity. No
This was
It was jfk who fundamentally supercharged uh america's
The american military's small wars capacity. This is the the the terminology in
the us army war college and special forces around
You know sort of not full-scale conventional wars. They're either small small
scale paramilitary
um, uh skirmishes
Or um or insurgency counterinsurgency. So it's
And the problem was is jfk was was bogged down in vietnam bogged down in laos
And the the problems that we were fighting against were not the kind of things
that
You know, you'd have the other political predicate after a lot of the disasters
of the korea of the korean war in 1950
And uh, and the international blowback to having formal dod boats on the
grounds
What what he believed was was vital and necessary to capacity build and supercharge
Was a cover a paramilitary covert capacity for dod in the war fighting space
that the ci had
Had at that point in the political war space
And this is done through the u.s special forces
And through uh, some of its sub branches, which are
psychological operations
civil military affairs
We can stick with that. Uh, but basically these are civil military is
When in order to achieve the military objective
Uh, the the thing that needs to be done is actually something of the civil
layer like for example
In order to win the war in uh against russia
Right now nato believes we need to build the single largest military base in
all of nato
on the black sea coast of romania
That points straight out in a line at crimea and move this this base that's
under construction is a hundred percent bigger
Than the biggest current air force nato base in uh, you know in europe the the
rammstein base in in germany
We're now moving as we speak there are fighter jets and drones being moved from
germany to romania
As we are building this base that will be the point of source projection
against
the the black sea navy of russia against the you know against crimea in order
to
you know turn the tide
well
That's a military operation right the the the military the nato military base
against the russian forces in crimea
But what is actually the most important strategic objective for the military?
It's actually not a military one. It's a civil one
See there's an election going on in romania right now
You may have you may have heard about this the cancelled election in romania
with the georgia skew this
right-wing populist figure who has pledged neutrality in the war
He doesn't want to he's no doesn't want to antagonize america, but he doesn't
want to kill
The russians he doesn't want he wants to
Basically back nato off and he doesn't want to allow this military base to be
to be made
Well, that is a civil decision
By the elected government of romania decided by the hearts and minds of the
voters of the romanian people
But that civil action
Will either in nato's eyes
Win the war or lose the war
So the problem is is uh, you
It would kind of be a something of a diplomatic incident shall we say if nato
rolled in and did um, you know
slow, but on milosevic style airst
you know air strifing of uh, you know airstrives against uh, the romanian
parliament building and rolled into uh,
You know rolled into the capital with tanks and troops just because um, you
know
The president was responding to the demcrack will of the people
So you need another mechanism to influence these civil affairs enter civil
military
This is where you get us aid in this as well as us aid for psychological
operations
You know, for example, i've been i've been playing this, you know clip for for
months now and showing this, you know
U.s military document from the
John f kennedy
Special warfare uh, you know center. I mean the the the special forces the
psychological operations
Um and civil military training and recruiting center at fort bragg the center
of our psychological operations is called the john f kennedy
Special warfare uh, uh, uh, training center
But you know
U.s aid does that work
So for example, i've been showing a military document from the biden mark milley
era published in 2021
About how to plan race riots in africa in order to uh, in order to stop the
construction
Of a uh, of a port by a foreign government that would allow their force
projection into the atlantic ocean
In a sample scenario where the u.s ambassador
Tries to get this west african country on the you know on the atlantic coast
there
Uh to to cancel the port construction for the in partnership with the foreign
government
But that government doesn't want to do it and so they refuse the u.s ambassador
they refuse the state department
so
This is
Literally in the planning guide and pitch book for the u.s special forces. It's
available online right now
Everyone can look this up. It's all over my x x feed
I post the link a million times and all the screenshots
But they show the role of special forces they they're pitching this basically
to you know
To get more grant funding that that we can help a near peer competition
actually with these with foreign countries
By having special forces destabilize the country in flame racial tensions
between the africans who work in the factories
And the business owners of the foreign government in the local regional
development
uh
Cause mass walkouts and strikes but if you want to pull this on screen I can
you know
You know, I can just show you these two these two things
um, if you just go to my x feed
and um
Uh, you can type in rent rights or you just type in uh, you know, just type in
usaid job fairs
Or usaid, you know job
And you'll see in this scenario. Uh, they
They talk about the interagency coordination between defense diplomacy and
development
You know, uh, all all the the the roles. Yes, it was your usaid job. You can
pull it up
And what they propose is that as they are inflaming these racial tensions to
cause these riots and boycotts of the local businesses
that
USAID would play the role of swooping in yeah, go ahead click those and I can
show you the source documents and everything it's it's all over
um
So Iwc for example is information warfare center at fort bragg again. They're
in west africa now
Now this is a sample scenario with a hypothetical african country, and I don't
want to belabor this
I'm not trying to cause an international incident by saying this
I'm just trying to get the american people insight into
Why you are going to find usaid fingerprints?
All over pentagon operations and no one's gonna have known about it before
because
You park it at usaid
The military doesn't have to tell the president what they're actually doing
This is why for example, you had the fight over isis and I'll but we can get to
this right after this
But you know, I'll we'll get to how
How the us military duped trump through these these uh things
Constantly playing shell games with the numbers in syria for example
You'll see you know what the information warfare center did is
Um, you know, they saw a sign at the at along the road for this port
construction
And they they say the plan is we need to buy the ambassador more time
Uh, because this port is going to be they're going to close on it
And we need to give the ambassador more leverage at the negotiating table
So this is a support operation for the state department
In order to secure an agreement from the african government to shut the port
down
But right now the ambassador doesn't have the smoke doesn't have the clout
doesn't have the leverage
So the military will come in and provide that leverage
By destabilizing the country cause you know inflaming long-standing friction
between the african workers and the foreign corporations
popping off protests and then using their swarm army of
internews usaid you know the the social media campaign and media articles to
that are led actually in the background by the
Information warfare center at fort bragg to illuminate the controversy to a
global audience, right?
This caused international financial pressure and sanctions on them, but if you
go to the next slide
And here we go usaid so this is again
U.s military document 2021 biden administration
To make sure this thing really pops off usaid is going to swoop in along with
other ngos to establish job fairs near the protest areas
so that when so that when these in racially inflamed african workers
Uh, uh want you take to the streets, they don't need to worry about losing
their careers at those companies
They just went on strike at because they're going to be on us taxpayer dime,
baby
It's going to be us truck drivers
median income
You know 45 50 000 a year paying for striking african workers to get no show
jobs as a part of a race riot operation
For the u.s special forces to give leverage to the u.s
State department ambassador in order to stop a random port construction in west
africa
And it says here within two weeks the construction company lost 60 of its
required labor pool
So it's effective now you and and this is where
I don't know if you want you know
Take a breather and pivot to something lighter, but this is where it starts to
get really really nasty
Because there are layers to this
That I see
But because i'm not an insider i'm not i don't have access to the inside
government documents. I don't have subpoena power at congress
um
there
Someone has to has to get an answer on some of these questions and um
I was going to talk about the connection of this to
You know the rental riots
I should say formally we don't know that the rent rights formally the rights
that popped off in this country
In 2020 in that I see is one of the main ways that the blob
May be able to regain leverage here in the united states in the years ahead
Right right now they're doing law fair
They're they're trying to mend the they're a little bit impotent right now
because their coalition is very fractured
Many of the stalwart international republicans have gone full mega
So the bipartisan consensus on this is weaker than it was
and then probably most
Most difficult for them
There's a bit of a civil war happening even within the democrat party because
of all the bad blood between the biden camp and the kamala harris camp
I mean
You need a unified network on the democrat side to pull this off and you had
joe by you know joe biden was
Soft cooed out of office by his own party
And you have half the democrat party who was in but it was a very contentious
long drawn out process
Joe biden put on a maga hat actually asked one of those union workers
I believe he was one of those people at the at that event for the maga hat to
put on
And that was a that was quite a
How about jill biden wearing a red dress when she went to vote?
Yeah, yeah good. It's a big deal and and when joe biden walked out
At that white house press
conference to announce that donald trump had won the election day before
People go back and watch that. I have never seen joe biden smile harder in my
life
Right when he when he had trump in the white house and smiling and laughing he
looked like he was having a good old time
Right, right. He was happy a stark contrast between obama welcoming
Trump in 2016 right right and obama was was backing the kamala
you know sort of uh, you know ouster of biden so
When they were all united in this bipartisan, you know blob network and the
democrats working completely cohesive
And a full half of the republican party was it was internationalist
You could get this buy-in for example. It was easy to synchronize the u.s
chamber of commerce with
The afl cio with with with the union street muscle the way so usaid
You know get just back back at this whole usa truman show
And I didn't like I say this ever there is no nothing you can tell me that is
not affected
By by the usa truman show you want to talk about the music industry. I can I
tell you about usaid's
complete infiltration of the music industry how so oh my gosh, okay, so
Maybe I can show you ever seats on screen here for a second. Um, uh,
Do you want to well?
We'll start with with with an easy one because it's it's directly connected to
what we were just talking about with zunzanio in cuba
So if you go to uh, this max blumenthal's outlets called gray zone news and
again
I'm not trying to beat up on our foreign policy establishments
foreign policy on cuba or way into that
But this is how the sauce is made and you're going to see a million examples of
this in a second of this
But put but go to go to uh, just type in on google like or any search engine
gray zone news
cuban rappers usaid and um, you know, you'll see this and and
you know, these are basically
Sponsored hip-hop artists to write you know to to do revolutionary hip-hop to
appeal to
To appeal to the afro-cuban community who the national now for democracy had
identified as being
Um a demographic see every time we do these operations
USAID see
The ngos they'll they'll submit what they call baseline assessment or strategic
assessment to the state department where they will do
um
Where they will do a demographic segmentation of all the demographics in the
country
who's who's
Pro us
Who's against us in the region and then they will micro target the grants and
the capacity building to capacity build
The burning ember to turn it into a flame
so for example and and just so you see this
But you can go to the ci world fact book right now
This is this is just the public facing ci.gov
You can type in a random country like burma on just cia, you know world
world book burma you'll see the
we keep meticulous
tabs on the
The racial distribution the religious distribution the gender distribution the
you know the l the heteronormative versus lbg lgbt
lgbt one
This is why usaid and ned were were backing and supporting pussy riot in russia
uh, you know to do these you know sort of uh
insane
You know sort of feminist lgbtq
Styled left-wing
Uh street riots and this is what they you know causes international incident
You can see all the usaid any of these stuff on on them for pussy right is the
music industry and
Go to youtube and look at their music videos if you want to see what state
spawn what state-sponsored music looks like
But in in the cuba case, you know
They were
NED had published this document
NED is the operations arm of usaid and they get a ton of their grants through
it and they're
A companion star
Said okay all of our previous attempts to overthrow the cuban government failed
Well, you know something like 60 of the cuban population is afro-cuban
They're the radically underrepresented the cuban government
They have their own grievances around police policing issues and around
representation issues
And they even noted in the document that that demographic and i'm not saying
this ned is saying this in cuba is disproportionately drawn to
drugs
Influenced by rap music and and suffers from overwhelming amount of uh, you
know of on youth unemployment
and so
Capacity building those desperate networks
Capacity building you know the uh, you know anti-addiction programs will get
you into the into the into the drug networks
Doing job fairs and and you know getting these people on us payroll will
alleviate their pain points on on uh employment and
They all they're you know predominantly listening to hip-hop. So we need to
work with
I believe the group is the san isidro and i'm not beating up on it
You can make an argument that that
I'm not weighing in on whether this is good or bad
But the american people have to know this because this gets played on their
radio stations in miami
This gets you know art testimonials to this are at you know, um, art basil in
miami every year
uh, you know, and and this
This is the truman show around you, but you you can read that gray zone report
for example
Write up on that on all the usa funding all the meetings with the us ambassador
and you know and you know western hemisphere assistant secretary folks
um, you know how how the whole thing was
Get to you can talk about uh musicians like dua lipa you you know you're
familiar with dua lipa i've heard the name
yeah, you know don't stop now, you know, she's
You know a million of these uh great hits
Fantastic musician i'm a big fan on the music side
Um dua lipa won the distinguished leadership award
Uh, I forget if it was last year the year before from the atlanta council
Atlanta council
That's the same organization that we played on screen
uh during our first conversation
Where we went over the atlanta council, you know holding up. I call
Bullshit placards bs
And looking at trump tweets and training hundreds of journalists for how to
flag and censor him saying tweets like witch hunt
Or brexit slogans for you know, cheaper health care
Uh, the the atlanta council who has seven cia directors seven former number one
heads of the cia on its board of directors
That gets direct grant funding from the pentagon the state department and us
aid
Uh, uh, the atlanta council who had a formal partnership agreement with burisma.
I should note signed on january 19th
2017 one day before trump became the u.s. President
Why the heck would they give dua lipa a uh, you know distinguished leadership
or world award?
Well, you know, she's ethnic albanian and has activities in kosovo and but i'm
not trying to cause an international incident when I say this
But you know, her messaging uh around the uh
The post yugoslavia breakup
Uh balkan states and a lot of the geopolitics around serbia right now
The u.s. State department has been pursuing as well as us aid and to whatever
extent
You may or may not be there, you know, the the civil military arm of of the of
the us military
um, uh
I believe and i'm not privy to any inside information. This is this is my my
reading of the tea leaves that i've been laying out before everyone
um
Uh is is not very happy with the government of serbia and they want that serbian
government uh
People in the serbian government arrested indicted and put through a process
that they call transitional justice
And transitional justice is the idea that when you transition a country when
you overthrow its government
Or you pump up your favorite political party to win the election it transitions
from democracy from autocracy to democracy
Uh, or it transitions from a liberal democracy to genuine democracy
It's a turnover of government
And uh, and we have
Doctrine we have a whole field of scholarship at the state department at us aid
Uh, and that is carried out in covert ways, uh through civil military dod and
at cia called transitional justice, which is
weaponizing the justice department and creating the
Criminal predicate to eliminate your political adversaries. You just narrowly
vanquished in a nail-biter vote
Um in order to stop them from ever rising to power again
And i'll show you some great receipts on this so that everyone can see this
with their own eyes
Uh, but before I do let me just flesh this out for a second, which is that
Every regional desk at the state department or or in the usa portfolio has to
compete every year on for their budget
They have to fight for their lives because the people you know, uh, who are the
regional desks around
kyrgyzstan and you know
Georgia moldova latvia lithuania they're competing for in the budget for what's
going to western hemisphere
What's going to argentina and brazil and columbia and they're competing against
sub-air in africa
So the cheaper it is to manage the political vassalage of a country the better
They may have had to to to ask for a lot more money in the budget one-off in
election year
To run that money through democracy international or through seps or or any
number of usaid or nad programs
To fund the political party they want they want to win
But they can't keep that
They were only given that money because it was a specialty
They're not necessarily going to be able to get that the next time around and
they'll be able to spend money on other
soft power goals in the region if it's if they don't have to worry about the
other party rising again
or doing what trump just did you know winning then losing then winning again
and so
transitional justice is a whole field at state and in the ngo plex to
To make it cheap to manage the course of and result of foreign elections
By making sure anyone who's a serious challenger to you ends up in jail
And i'm just going to show you something because it's now in the news
elon musk this week
You know tweeted out about you know horrible situation where someone from the
pis the law and justice party in poland
uh, i believe is now facing arrest for clicking the like button on a social
media post jesus and
you know what was the post i don't actually know what the post was one of kanye's
i played the fit i don't know but but uh the fact is is
you know poland plays and i've been saying this forever and this is maybe too
far afield for for the
narrow topic of discussion today but poland plays an absolutely huge uh
Probably the lynchpin role in all of eastern europe with everything that's
happening with ukraine because the whole play was to kill russian gas
And and then you need an alternative gas supply into europe to offset that and
there's only two ways to do that
one is ukraine builds up its own gas
uh infrastructure and exploits its endogenous
uh, you know hydrocarbon supply which it has a lot of it's the third largest in
europe but it's unexploit under exploited
Unfortunately, they can't do that right now because russia reconquered that
exact territory in eastern ukraine that those sit on the only of
the other the only way to of the other way to do that is through
Exporting lng you know liquefied natural gas from north america, you know from
the permian basin or whatnot in houston
freezing it
shipping it you know
six seven thousand miles across the atlantic up through the the baltic straits
through these newly
newly built
uh, you know routing terminals uh into poland and the terminals there and then
routing it there into
slovakia and ukraine and and central europe and and on from there
doesn't this bring us back to what mike johnson said that
biden had signed an executive order that he hadn't read
About liquid natural gas. Yeah. Well, that's interesting because that has to do
also with the economics of it
You know, you don't want too much supply because then the profits of the
corporations
You know, they're selling it. They're selling it for less margin as the as the
supply goes up
but yeah, the lng fight is is
is
The major one in in the energy space
But it's much more expensive for lng that process liquefication transport de liquefication
Transport back is way cheaper than just taking out of the ground and putting in
a pipeline
You know straight straight to the customer. So the european countries don't
want to do this. They don't they or at least
Until they were strong armed and you know what the state department and nato
have done is they've selectively
bred and financed and politically supported
All of the european political parties and candidates who have vowed to
basically go go forward with this plan and put their put their country through
an energy
Policy and buy this expensive lng which is skyrocketed I should know the
profits of
Many of these these western exporters and so again, there's an argument
Maybe that's in the u.s. Interest
If there was that trickle down, but we'll leave that aside
But the point is is poland basically is a veto right on this whole plan
Because if if the poll if the poland government says hey, you know what we don't
want to antagonize the russians
The russians may actually attack us, you know, uh
This is this is provocative because this is in tandem with the plan to cut off
gas prom
Also, we don't want to become a political vassal state of the us or the uk or
nato
And this is what was starting to happen with the law and order, you know, uh,
you know
Law and justice pis party in poland and so this whole network the atlantic
council network was backing to the full hilt
Donald tusk who became the prime minister of poland in uh, I believe december
2023
With that context jamie. Can you pull on screen? I just
Re-upped these receipts. I've been posting this for months, but this is very
Everyone should see this with their own eyes because this gets back to occrp
and state-sponsored media to prosecute people
This gets back to you know, the role of of the us aid
Capacity building the networks around prosecutors here in the u.s
Um, the us aid capacity building the prosecutor networks and we should get to
that on brazil
But let's can we start here with poland?
There's kind of like bypass the whole music industry. Oh, oh my god. No, wait,
we've just we've just started on that. Okay. Here's an easy one
Look up look at the u.s music diplomacy program
So this is the this is but this is all music overseas or use music domestically
as well
Well, that's the issue is because there's this interplay for so first I came
back to the dua lipa
Atlantic council thing so
Again, essentially, you know, she's calling out human rights abuses from you
know the these balkan governments
Uh, you know with a with a family pedigree and popularity in kosovo and other
places that are hugely
In the geopolitical crosshairs right now
And so
And i'm not saying whether it's good or bad again. I'm not even weighing in on
you know, the the humanitarian abuses or whatnot
What i'm saying is is
It's it's music as an instrument of statecraft dua lipa is this is the the u.s
military the state department us aid seven cia directors the burisma networks
Because you know, she's got
Tens of millions of social media followers you people, you know who or die hard
follower concert
She's an international superstar and her public support
For calling out human rights abuses by you know, these these balkan governments
that are in the crosshairs of the u.s. State department
Makes it easier to prosecute those political figures just like with the occrp
publishing hit pieces for hire
These people become less popular because the people who love dua lipa have to
sort of hate those
U.s. State department enemies this has been going on forever. Okay
Jazz diplomacy the state department was doing this with black african jazz
musicians
To win the soft power war against against the soviet union in africa in the
1940s
State department was working with louie armstrong and most of the major
Jazz musicians because russia the soviet union was making the argument in these
newly sovereign independent african countries
Who had to pick a side in the great power competition that america was racist
america discriminates against african americans?
Uh, there's there's all this, you know, uh, you know upward mobility
limitations. There's you know
There's no legal you're underrepresented in the government
The marxist socialist
egalitarian concept
Of communism will liberate you from the racial inequalities of western imperialist
capitalism
And so to offset that we did jazz diplomacy
You can pull this up on screen as I talk about this jamie just so you see this
is on state.gov
You can look you can look up this whole this whole history
I'm telling you I look up, you know, uh, u.s. State department jazz diplomacy
and just
I'm looking it up
Louis armstrong initially pushed back on it though
He said the way they're treating my people in the south the government can go
to hell
Yes
Well, many of them did or had a complicated relationship with it
But you can I mean you can look up everyone like, you know, for example, they
targeted
um
You know other uh, you know, uh african-american musicians
Who were uh, you know who are using their platform?
Um, uh, who's the guy who sings uh old man river?
Paul oh my god, why am I blanking on the name?
Um, dizzy gillespie
Yeah, dizzy gillespie headed the first state department sponsored tour
Okay, but we've this is every job telling you it's every single genre of music
Is it rap music as well?
Oh my god rap music
Can I can I tell the evolution from from you know jazz to classical to rock
music to rap?
Sure, so um, so
In the 1950s and 60s and again, jimmy you can just follow along as i'm saying
all this if you want to put on screen
There was a big classical music
Shostakovich and other you know, russian uh, you know, soviet
Classical composers were more popular in europe than american ones were and
these were you know big aristocratic
Concerts and elites and they would be listening to russian
You know, they'd be uh, you know listening to russian music and getting to know
more russian culture and that would that would
Come money would flow into the institutions prestige would and so to combat
that
The cia backed uh front group and this is all public you know public and known
it's called the congress of cultural freedom
Sponsored american uh classical musicians to travel abroad there sponsored
classical music concerts in rome and in and in paris
and in and in germany in order to
Pump up and sponsor
And and have you know our classical musicians be more predominant in
distribution
Or uh, or basically, you know dominate, you know, you know, what at the time
were effectively, you know
The airwaves in europe and nor do that we did the same thing with rock music
You know, for example, I mentioned pussy riot and and pussy riot being you know
backed by usaid and ned in 2012
um in uh in russia, but also
Look at the the german rock music scene that uh, you know in
We were sponsoring these you know protest rock anthems against authoritarian
governments
All over the iron curtain, uh, you know throughout the cold war and in fact, we
were sponsoring them basically right up against the side of the berlin wall
As we were taking it down everyone right now can go on youtube.com and watch
the
The documentary called taking uh taking down a dictator
Which is a in-depth pro-regime change?
I think it was pbs who produced it this is us government funded media
Where it has in-depth interviews with with all of the architects of the color
revolution against slovenom milosevic in the 1990s
Working with a group called oat poor which received 72 million dollars of us
taxpayer funding
In order to pump up their political operations again, i'm not weighing in on
whether it was good or bad
You know, I leave it to to the audience to to you know, make their own
determination
But you can see how even in that effectively state-sponsored documentary
It's the state department's website. Mm-hmm
It's just going through the years of yeah, and we're gonna have yeah
We're gonna have a lot more on on that when we get to the rap program because
they just sponsored 22 rappers and hip-hop artists
From around the world to personally come to the state department
And uh, you know be trained in youth engagement and uh democracy mobilization
in their countries and art as activism
22 rappers from cameroon, uh, you know, algeria france
We'll pull that up as we as we get to it
um, but
the
coming back to the
You know the I think we're on the rock music, you know side of these are they
were sponsoring this protest rock
Okay, I just lost my thread for a second. I felt like I was
Have you ever read that laurel canyon book?
Yeah, yeah, the cia's involvement in the rock scene in the 1960s. Yeah, yeah
weird scenes inside the canyon. Yeah
Yeah, um
I think it would benefit greatly from a lot of the stuff that i'm i'm i'm
laying out now but to see how these things
had a foreign
Purpose for for pumping up a domestic scene and why you see these military
interlinkages with it with you know
With all these music promoters
For example, um, you know, they sent you in that gray zone article
I recommended on in in cuba, you know, they they usaid ran that operation to
sponsor protest rap music
um
through
uh
That through uh peep a
A contractor posing as music promoters in cuba, you know
Basically looking at these local rap groups and saying we can make you an
international star baby, you know type type thing
And then they get radio distribution
And this is how you see these bono types and sting types who are at every
single save ukraine
Conference again
Not even weighing in on the substance of it. You know that you want
distribution
You use you know
You use as a battery and i'd be remiss if I didn't say this even though
I know that this is going to cause a lot of headlines
But here's a great example of this. Uh, the nato psychological operations
planning center
In um in riga latvia in 2019 and you can pull this on screen if you type in uh
taylor swift nato
Or you type in um, you know, uh, what was it?
Trained trained to share messaging or just trained trained messaging
And uh, and I this was a big news cycle. There was a huge controversy around it
Uh, a lot of people misreported it by uh, by closing the loops on things that
were
that I that I didn't say
um, but that are open questions about what really happened, which
Which is you know, this sort of taylor swift as an instrument of statecraft
when the example I give here is
um, and if you pull this up on screen if just
You know jamie you'll see this and because I have it all underlined
This is a public youtube right now on nato's formal website the western
military alliance
They set up this psychological operations strategic communications cell to do
internet censorship and information operations out of after crimea
in riga latvia and in 2019 they held a
uh, a conference there about you know how to use ai uh
AI scanning technology to map out uh narrative distribution networks on social
media, you know facebook twitter whatnot
And there's three people you know who are at this thing. Uh, you know
One of them was 77th brigade from uh from british intelligence who are
presenting to nato
One of them started their career in the central intelligence agency
And one of them, uh, you know was
Put in the description is a you know someone who worked at it was part of the
johns hopkins
The school of international affairs, uh
School, but then that actually was announced on the panel and
You know according to their linkedin was actually working at the time for graphica,
which is the
Which does this internet censorship they get seven million dollars from the
pentagon
They were incubated they were they had a they were formally incubated inside
the pentagon's minerva initiative
Which is the psychological operations research center of the pentagon
When the pentagon wants to do psychological operations in africa or in central
asia
They turn to the thought leadership the the sort of policy planners who pitch
ideas about well, you know, these tactics work
So for example, one of the minerva initiative grants not to graphica this group
But to others because theirs was for russiagate stuff, you know sort of
psychological operations
You know stuff around uh fighting the hearts and minds war against russia
But graphica, but you know others in in the cohort were
How to secure citizen buy-in uh after a crisis event it in in order to make
people trust their government?
Uh against when we topple the government and people think it's a it's a coup
I mean basically how to get people to trust their government when they're
skeptical of it
and then you turn around and see graphica was partnered with
The atlantic council as well as the us department of homeland security to censor
the 2020 election and
partnered with you know, our own nih to censor covet but the fact is all three
people on this panel
Were involved or had a career at at one point in in intelligence work
And and specifically, you know at least with two of them psychological
operations
and on screen
And jamie if you can find it you're I think you're gonna you're gonna
You're gonna save us both a lot of headache because everyone will just see it
right there in red underlined on a
YouTube video everyone can pull up right now if let me know if you're having
trouble finding it just
trained to spread maybe
um and i'll i'll have this my time but it literally has
A pitch to nato sure what i'm looking for exactly for that video
2019 nato conference right yeah if you just type in if you just go to my x feed
and you just hit the search bar
And you type in taylor swift i'm on youtube though. You said to go to youtube.
No, no my x feed is the best way to search it
Um, but it has a a picture
on that slide deck where again this is
psychological operations planners pitching to nato the world you know the
western world's military alliance
And the slide has a picture of taylor swift
And it says basically says something like and when the receipts of world screen
you can you'll read it directly it says you know example of you know
Celebrities who can be trained to spread desired messaging. I think that was
the exact phrase trained to spread desired messaging
And she and the presenter goes over the drawbacks of this and how and you know
what we need to decide some of the moral efficacy of this
but
Basically saying that you know taylor swift has worked in various things before
that have been empirically shown to move the needle on government initiatives
For example her get out the vote, you know, uh, or get out the vote work
Uh increase the vote her public health campaign stuff
But buying there well don't that video has a lot of cursor. Okay. Yes pause
right there. Okay
Scroll up scroll right there pause right there
And if you you see that goal identify key actors to train and spread desired
messaging
This is on nato's we pay for nato
We paid for this to be pitched now. Here's where some of this story got misreported
I don't know that anyone from nato
Directly reached out to taylor swift or her campaign to do that
I'd this and if they did this would not be formalized in a formal pentagon
grant or quid pro quo
But I should note look at who the biggest sponsor of south by southwest is in
in texas now
It's the military go ahead and look up the scandal if you want about south by
southwest
pentagon funding
They've taken over the music industry because it's hearts and minds work
Okay, well, I guess that just happened in 2024. Let's see if you if you go to
okay
So this has caused so much problems
Um from for the past couple years that I guess they're now they're now
Reforming this but if you if you run a bullion search for before
2024 you'll you'll see this but basically
The pentagon or if you scroll down maybe it might be right there
Um, so it caused this big boycott because the pentagon in tandem with this
music diplomacy program and these usa aid backing of these things
Um, okay. Well, that's that's a that's a u.s army in palestine one, but you'll
see the numbers on this basically
um
the pentagon
moves into this
And just like they were you know getting dual leap of the awards just like they're
working with pussy riot just like they have 22
In fact, you can look this up if you want the state department music diplomacy
program 22 rappers hip-hop
You'll see again
These people become network nodes. They become assets to play with
And you know an incredible example of this
That I that I hesitate to
to discuss here because I know that the
Organization uh, that these documents leaked from is is contesting
Um, you know the you know these documents, but yeah, there's um
There's evidence to suggest the same play around recruiting the you know, the
hip-hop artists in in cuba
And you know in and also here you go break dancing news diplomacy meets hip-hop
as 22 artists visit the u.s
Okay
This is the u.s state department
We are paying to recruit them as assets
So when they go and you go and look at the country list if you if you want look
how far and wide this is to the edges of the earth
um
You know, uh, you know, mongolia cameroon, uh
You know, there's there's a whole there's all thing here, but basically
The it was protest rock
You know, it's just protest rap in cuba for that us aid operation. It was
protest rap
You know, there's there's language for example in this gray zone report around
bangladesh and i'll leave it to the the current fight
but you know between them and
the national down for democracy about the nature of those documents, but
You know those documents that the gray zone published
Have two rap songs in bangladesh
That that have lines like they were designed, uh to inspire anti-government act
uh, uh, uh
Sentiment and to uh and to promote uh street protests
And uh and political reform. I mean
literally writing
Rap albums to get people to take to the streets and pull off the exact riot
that the state department wants to destabilize the country
and
Music penetrates. I mean this is what they got really attached to this during
the cold war and in the 1980s because
It's it's and in fact in those documents
They talk about how sponsoring individual artists is actually sometimes a lot
more effective because they do art and activism while they're doing
They're putting on these festivals. They're promoting an agenda at the
festivals
While they are putting these you know songs on radio distribution and supercharging,
you know, their their brand
those songs have themes and messages about
Taking down authoritarian governments and the people got to rise up
And you know, we have and you know, we you have to represent the will of the
people you know
We have to you know end poverty, you know
And then they'll make the arguments the government's fault that there's poverty
we have to add we have to end
Racial or gender inequality and then the state department will or usaid will be
working
Through its demographic segmentation with those exact groups. This is another
reason we've been pumping up these
Feminist groups and these lgbt groups if you want for example, you can pull up
the wikileaks cia
red cell memo that showed how the cia pitched to the state department in the
during the afghanistan war
That the best way to shore up additional funds from european parliaments is to
is to transition states media
octopus messaging from a national security predicate for
For the war to a to a feminism
And a women's empowerment one because of
field work and polling from the central intelligence agency
Around europe showed that european parliaments and and voting demographics
felt
Said on surveys that they were more
More willing to give money or wanted to give more money
From their their own government coffers their own taxpayer funds to the war in
afghanistan
If it was about stopping repression against women or if it was about
Giving women more rights in the society and whatnot and so that that wasn't
because the cia
Loves feminism now this was a cold calculated instrument of statecraft
To shift the messaging and then also to work with these exact groups who have
that
cleavage point acts to grind against their against their country as as part of
the mobilizations
It's how you see a lot of these women's marches and women's protests
Or you see a lot of these sort of protected class ones because that also gets
you the human rights
You know predicate to uh to add sanctions and and other uh, you know
Protected speech measures like this is why the state department pushed facebook
to put hate speech provisions in place to stop hate speech against the rohingya
One of the things that's come up that has been uh talked about quite a bit over
the last couple years
Is that the government had some sort of an influence on the emergence of
gangster rap?
And the promotion of it. Mm-hmm. What do you know about that?
I don't have a good record
You know in the in the 80s and 90s
There's there's a lot of strange things there
And I I want to tell you what I really feel
um
It is highly controversial though and I
I um
I'm not sure with everything else that we're covering and some of the other
things that I
You know i'd like to be able to just hit before the conversation concludes
about about
us aids
control and influence over prosecutors
And an example in brazil since I know that a lot of people in brazil want to
get to brazil. Yeah, okay. Yeah, um
I'm gonna get a lot of trouble if I say this, uh
When you read that national endowment for democracy wipe. Oh, we didn't do the
poland one
Can I put can I just can we circle back to this in one second before? Yes, just
because this this really is
uh
An appropriate international incident to talk about this here
Uh, if you if you go to my x feed and you just type in search poland or the
word pis
As a one-off or you can just scroll down you'll see I re-upped it, uh, you know
earlier this morning
You're gonna see
the the national endowment for democracies
In-house journal called the journal of democracy again, the ned is this
CIA front group the new york times reported the c.i gets a copy of every grant
that they make
Um, they they you know, they they their own founders say that they were created
that the c.i got in trouble for sponsoring
Uh pro-democracy groups around the world in the 1960s and that's why we don't
do it anymore
And that's why the national endowment was created
Uh, basically to take the baton from the cia during that transition between
Carter anti-cia and and reagan pro-cia
This was the compromise between left and right and that that's why they have
two political cores iri and ndi but can you pull that back up?
Okay
USA's partner in operations arm national down for democracy has been
specifically demanding donald tusk government in poland
Must find ways to arrest high-ranking members of the pis party in order to
quote stamp out populism
They wrote this the for the first month in office
So and again, you'll see this is responding to someone facing three years for
playing bus now
Let's click on this again
We pay as taxpayers for the production of national and now for democracies in-house
journal the journal of democracy
So what what can you can you zoom out?
Just zoom out a little bit when you see this. Yeah, perfect
How to dismantle in a liberal democracy? So again, nato was at war with the pis
party. They wanted more cooperation on
Security on economic issues whole other can of worms. They wanted donald tusk
the pro eu pro super pro nato candidate to win
um, uh, he wins
The month he takes office. This is december 2023 national down for moxie
The cia publishes this let think piece how to dismantle in a liberal democracy
and again
I think formally, you know, what's published here is supposed to you know
Not technically it's published in the ned publication doesn't mean it's ned
foreign policy, but this is what they're publishing and you're paying for
How did so they're saying listen, it's not an autocracy in poland unfortunately,
we can't call it a dictator like putin or the ccp
It's democracy because the people voted for it and they won fair and square
But it's illiberal democracy because
The democratic institutions don't you know are not are not having their way
But here's what it says poland may may be saying on its first steps in quote
stamping out populism
And holding those responsible for the worst violations of rule of law. That
means the criminal justice system now get to the next one
next slide
poland's new government must
Therefore do more than just return to liberal democracy
It must address trend address transitional justice the same thing which all
over every usaid operation
It has to arrest the people
From the government. We just transitioned from prime minister tusk and his
coalition must again not should not maybe should consider
Maybe if there's something there must
Stabilize the political system mean ensure the the rain in the against losing
in the next election to ensure that populism does not return in the next
election
Donald trump is a populist president
Bolsonaro is a populist president marine le pen is populist in france mateo savini's
populist in italy the vox party spot
This is state department and usaid policy everywhere and this is part of the
can of worms that's going to have to be
Unwoven here, but this is a direct order
That in order to make sure you win the next election and we don't need to keep
funding you or or projecting our lending our soft power apparatus to prop you
up
Arrest these people so they can't run against you again. Go to the next one
Can you zoom out?
It's not just telling them that you must do it if you want to get usaid support
like the you know
Ukraine uh, you know
Ukraine burisma loan type thing
But here's what says the new government should therefore focus attention on
whether and how suspect almost can be punished
At present there are a number of cases that should be tried immediately the chutzpah
the frigging chutzpah
This is a foreign cut for as far as the polish people's people are concerned.
This is a foreign government
it's foreign cia front apparatus
Imploring their own elected government about which citizens there that they
need to arrest those citizens and even giving them the list of targets
Imagine if the russian ministry of affairs sent donald trump said not only do
you have to
uh, you know, uh arrest
The remnants of the of the kamala harris joe biden campaign
But we're giving you the list of target names. Here's who pam bondy the
attorney general must
Uh file criminal indictments against this is an international incident again
Technically, I believe what's published here is not they're not supposed to be
you know
It does not represent it's like retweets or not endorsements, but you're paying
for this organization
You're paying for this journal and this is what they're publishing as a command
to a foreign country
This was a trump ally by the way the the the pis party, which is another part
of this net is doing a boomerang attack
By preventing pis popularity in poland they do a boomerang attack against the
foreign policy
international coalition that trump has
So here are the cases these include the 2015 appointment of judges
So going so arresting people for appointing judges
Here's another one to arrange a supposedly unconstitutional presidential
election by mail-in voting during the pandemic
w2etf we hate rail the
It was practically a crime to not support uh mail-in mail-in voting
With the with the national down for democracy here, but over there
It's it's they're saying it's a crime to have done it
And then you know range the supposedly unconstitutional president election by
mail-in voting during the pandemic
Wow, yes, and again, we can get all into this usaid ne d rabbit's nest and all
the domestic entangments of all it
And also the 2023 visa scandal. Oh, yeah, uh, yeah
Like this is the same thing they do if you you've ever seen alejandro mayorkas's
visa scandal from when he was in the obama dhs
And he was the deputy there you can pull this up on google. I believe it's 2015
Art the guy who was our head of dhs, which is the domestic interplay with all
these foreign blob organizations
Was busted by his own inspector general
in this in
Doing fast pass no look expedited vita visas for for uh, you know for obama
political donors
And not have putting it through the process, you know just to and the visa
scandals are all over this
You know, it was john brennan as ci station chief by the way in in saudi arabia
In in the romp to 9 11 who issue who together with the u.s consulate
Issued the visas to 15 of the 19 9 11 hijackers that was our visas now look
there were only 11 of the 19 were saudis
They were actually giving saudi visas to non-saudis and 19 15 of the 19
You can read all about this in in the guy who ran the visa desk
For that u.s consulate is j. Michael springman. He wrote a book called uh visas
for terrorists
Um, uh, you know where he goes over how the whole the whole thing was done
But wait wait i'm not done. There's there's one more there's can you on on that?
Can you pull up the fourth the fourth the fourth thing?
Because it's a doozy. So go to the go to the next one
These are just illustrative tips the cases and maybe just the tip of the
iceberg
Of who our cia front group our usaid operations arm is saying must be done
Naturally the leader of the law and justice party himself the democratically
elected president
Hey
Does what happened to donald trump now?
After the transitional justice that happened when biden justice department took
power starting to make a little bit more sense now
Should be held responsible but legally proving allegations against him will
likely be difficult damn
The problem is is we don't have a case we want to arrest him
But uh, we actually don't really have anything good to get him on so let's get
all his lieutenants
Uh, and again
The objective
pacification stability you don't need to worry about them winning the next
election
populism
As a political possibility in poland will be stamped out
Because the intelligence networks and the money arm of usaid and the corrupted
and warped prosecutors are all on the take
jesus
By the multiply this problem basically in every country on earth because you
know, we can get to a dozen of these here's a fun
Can I do a fun exercise real quick?
Go to google.com
And just you know that I mentioned this exercise before and just literally
We're just going to go maybe five six pages and just read what what pops up and
I haven't even
Fully done this exercise i'm just
I'm so confident in what i'm about to say that we that I that we can do it live
Go to google and type in usaid and then again bullying quotes the phrase quote
judicial reform
And I can also show you i've you know showed something okay, all right
So here you go. Let's just go through a list of countries that we are whether
we are seizing the judiciary
We are influencing the judges the courts the legal system the criminal justice
system the prosecutors
Okay, let's just start at the top
Okay, so, uh, what is that country click on that link for a second then go back
in the project in the republic. What republic is that?
Okay, serbia. Oh, what do you know we're back to dualipa?
You can't stop now. All right, so so we are we are
So that us that atlantic council uh distinguished leadership award is starting
to make a little bit more sense now
There's an in process uh attempt to
Basically bribe and co-opt the very same criminal justice system that
Our state-sponsored uh musical performers
I shouldn't say sponsors our state awarded uh ones are are calling to take
action against okay, let's look at what's the next one
This one didn't come up
They gave me a blank page for I mean their website's down
I don't know okay for advancing you eu integration can we just see the country
name in number two
It didn't I don't really didn't okay eu integration that's like for example
They want to you know fold these you know
The ukraine into the eu right there's been a big you know big thing about this
join the market, you know to also join nato
That's that's what this is
How do we get the criminal justice system on board, you know with basically
criminalizing opposition to it?
Okay, uh, and we can keep wait just keep keep scrolling down
We're just gonna do this for like four or five pages
I just want to you know, like literally every single one of these is a
government program
Okay, so here there that that one above was drc with democrat republic of congo.
Okay, we're how we are uh taking over the court systems in in congo
All right, go on go on to the next page or here. Okay, uh, yeah next page
Okay, so let's see here. Uh, okay more on more on congo. Okay, uh, uzbekistan
we're doing this in uzbekistan
albania we're doing it in albania
Uh, yeah, it keeps going down here. Let's see el salvador. We were doing it in
el salvador
This is one of the reasons you can imagine bukele was the first one on x to say
Oh my god, there's no more rental rights in el salvador anymore
And why was us aid so opposed to what we were doing getting rid of the drug
networks? Okay, here's here's for ukraine. Here's for uh, uh
Central america. Here's uh more for serbia. Here's for georgia
Every this is stock standard doctrine
It's the same usa truman show everywhere we go. This thing has been dialed in
for 60 years
And that's why I say it's gonna take 50 years to untangle this because you're
gonna run to political headwinds the whole time
You you don't think you're gonna have money flowing back
By the way, they're gonna go straight to their partners in europe
And you know around the world to to do top-up funding for what they lose
From from uh from us aid for example, they might go to the european
You know uh endowment for democracy they might go the eu may have to start
making funds to uh, you know to these us anti-trump networks
They may have to tap into their allies in china or their you know their allies
and other central american
or uh, or south american governments but
Mark my words that that usa truman show that joint, you know
These censors in exile these, you know regime changers in exile right now are
going to glob on
To every international ally the human can't humanly can they will be they will
be
Pressurizing the united nations they'll be pressurizing multilateral
organizations like nato the eu
Uh and and you know even some of these economic development packs
Uh to use the critical components they have there and sometimes dominant spot
They have there to weaponize those assets and that gets back to this sort of eu
fight but
I can i can pause i move to brazil phone pause fp okay when i come back rap
music brazil yeah
All right perfect all right we're back yeah so first hip-hop yeah
Okay the thing that you think you're gonna get in trouble for
oh you're gonna make me do this
well you already teased it
I think it was the 2009 national a national now for democracy
um cuba rap journal of democracy article that i believe was co-authored by ned's
founder carl gershman
um you know who openly
said that ned does what the cia used to do that they effectively took the baton
from it and again
the cia's cia has copies cia has copies according to the washington post and
new york times of every grant ned makes
um
when when you look at the analysis the in-house analysis done by ned there
that there was this dense interplay between the afro cuban population
and the drug networks in in cuba
and then you look at the role of hip-hop and drug culture
in retailing
what is wholesaled
in obviously us aid cia
pentagon
narco networks like for example we talked about the mujahideen narco network
they even they even set up a cia bank right there to back it
we did the same thing in 1960 you know usaid set up in 1961
at this at the very moment two weeks before usaid was created jfk awarded the
green beret to the special forces
just two weeks before that uh then he creates us that was october
1961 november 1961 he creates us aid
december 1961 one month after he launches operation pin cushion push pin
cushion in laos
for the u.s special forces to train and recruit hillside gorillas in laos
who are primarily funded by the drug networks that they sit on in the golden
triangle they sat on the opium
of the of the golden triangle and the way they financed the their own guerrilla
war c i c i backed
war and this is all well known ving pao was the cia it was the commander there
of the cia mercenary rebel forces there
in in uh you know this is 1961 to 1967 in this period that i'm talking about
special forces go
over there to recruit these hillside guerrillas they form an army ving pao is
is made the head of
it this is going to connect to the rap thing in a sec um ving pao was uh uh was
financing the the cia's
mercenary army by retailing the the opium from laos into uh into these networks
in southeast asia like
the cia proprietary banks like everyone can look up nugen hand bank or castle
bank and trust these cia
banks that were set up to launder basically drug proceeds and they all got in a
lot of trouble for
this in uh a few decades ago now the problem was is they couldn't sell enough
because they were a
scrappy little upstart you know group of hillside gorillas so what did usa do
in 19 in you in 1967
this is the 1960s how long this has been going on um so it was they were
recruited by special forces they were managed by the central intelligence
agency usa provided the
financing and this is all in according to and in the senate testimony of uh al
professor alfred
mccoy this is a book called the politics of heroin in southeast asia he's
testified from the senate
foreign relations committee in 1972 he detailed all this in his book but usa
financially provided the
financial assistance for ving pao and his narco terrorist network to purchase
two airplanes from
two cia proprietary uh companies one of them was air america another one was
continental air services
both of these have been revealed in subsequent years to be cia proprietary
airlines so the cia commander
the commander of the cia rebel army buys two planes from two cia airlines and
then uses them to traffic
and retail the drugs by selling them to the market in vietnam where where we
had special forces boots on
the ground so basically it was wholesaled by the cia in that case and then it
was uh the logistics for
that network were provided by usaid and then it was retailed to poor unsuspecting
um souls uh all over
southeast asia play the same game in the golden crescent with afghanistan uh
play the same game with the
with the cocaine trade in uh in its route from peru and bolivia uh up into columbia
and then up into the
the distribution networks in miami los angeles chicago you name it the
when you start having organized crime and drug and drugs um as as the as the
front end
that that retails the products and services that that are wholesale then part
of a
intelligence or military operation you know you can't sell those drugs by
having someone with a
department of defense id badge on the street corner uh you know on 187th and
broadway uh those there
are retail networks for that and that is the role of many of these drug mule
and organized crime uh
networks all over the world and i have serious concerns about um networks in
chicago i mean you
know gary webb obviously wrote all about this in dark alliance and uh you know
there's all sorts of
fantastic books on all this if you want to read more like operation gladio by
paul williams
um and uh you mean there's there's there's so much in this field but the role
of of narcotics
is in uh in financing black budget military covert operations in every major
place they spring um
is is a is a black box that is not my crusade i i frankly again i wish we didn't
we didn't even go
here because but i do feel like you do need to have a a side eye glimpse into
some of these worlds to
understand internet censorship because you are going to find usaid ngos uh if
bukele had not done the
radical reforms that he had had the internet would have been completely censored
by usaid and the
state department in order to rig hearts and minds against against him because
they would have they
would want to stop him from cleaning out the these drug gangs he was stopping
from cleaning up the crime
you're going to see the same thing about uh fact checkers in pakistan and you
know for example
according to the gray zone report on on uh on usaid and ned in bangladesh and
in fact this is
actually i believe on the us embassy in in pakistan's uh us embassy in pakistan's
website the countering
misinformation training seminar they had with the guy who's now the top farm
advisor in pakistan and they
brought in the executive director of politifact uh flew them all the way out to
the u.s embassy
in pakistan to train journalists about uh about how to counter misinformation
the same journalist
training seminars seminars we're seeing you inner news do we see seps do you
know we see the atlanta
council do um but i come back to um the u.s institute for peace on a live url
as we speak
not even two years ago made an impassioned plea to the taliban to keep 95
percent of the world's
heroin flowing you have to explain that to the american people that is the
state department's policy
if u.s u.s institute of peace is not going to go rogue against the state
department foreign policy there
because they're funded by the state department um you see the same thing with
these isis terrorist drug
narco networks anyone remember the wikileaks email jake sullivan to hillary clinton
while hillary
clinton was secretary of state isis is on our side in syria well that means the
more of those poppy crops
that get uh retailed off to uh isis networks the more powerful and well-financed
they are the more they
can pay their soldiers or stop their soldiers from defecting as uh from being
mercenaries and lo and
behold that same network just toppled the syrian government and i should note
structuring through
usa is is the is the sauce to this because the there is a sitting tweet from
the u.s embassy in syria
from 2017 when trump was wiping out isis that put a 10 million dollar bounty on
the head of muhammad
al-jalani the current the commander of those forces uh the current basically
head of state in the
interim government in syria there was a 10 million dollar bounty on his head
under trump uh they made
the argument that his hts group group was an al-qaeda spin-off and no al-qaeda
allowed well
according to his own military generals who said this openly in mainstream media
after after the fact
we were constantly playing shell games with the numbers to hide the troop
activity and and uh you
know and what we were doing on the ground in syria and and in the broader
region
if you don't need a presidential finding to to finance a terrorist group or a
paramilitary group
it's too dirty for ci president won't approve run through usaid and what does
this have to do with
hip-hop well you have these these narco networks like for example like what i
was saying about um
the usaid bought the airplanes for the ci for the front for the the wholesalers
to to move it to the
retailers and when when you have these this intersection between hip-hop and
the drug economy
hip-hop popularizing it you know you have a lot of these rappers who've said
you know we're told by
our promoters or our managers to you know you know lean into that stuff you
have the whole uh organized
crime gang i'll give an example this is in gary webb's dark alliance where he
goes through this network
from you know basically the cia uh playing us and the war and the defense
department playing a leading
role in propping up these narcotics trades in south america because they were
pumping up right-wing
death squads and in and uh and right-wing paramilitary narco gang networks that
were violent and effectively
shut down left-wing marxist theology movements who are considered pro-soviet
this i have a lot of this for
example with iran contra and the and the reagan reagan years so you know he
makes a very compelling case
about the role of of the u.s intelligence community and at the wholesale level
in peru and bolivia
and at the you know and at the actual processing uh in in columbia and then the
movement uh and transport
to the uh to the gangs in los angeles and miami and chicago and the like and
that wholesale movement
effectively goes from you know langley slash crystal city uh in in dc dc virginia
um to a sort of you
know hispanic population uh in in south america into you know into you know
other you know into into
gangs that are retailing it uh you know in uh into these compton gangs into
these you know um
you know these chicago and and miami and new york ones you have a culture of
drug use that creates a
market for uh for selling the proceeds so that drugs can be turned into cash
which can then be used to
purchase guns and when you see this look this just liquid seamlessness there
and then you know i you
know uh i don't want to tax jamie too much but you know this this this gray
zone report in bangladesh
has specific language uh with with uh the national dama for democracy and one
of its subarms making
explicit grants to bangladeshi rap groups um for the explicit purpose of
getting people to take to the
the streets in uh in street riots and protest movements and to undermine public
faith and and public
confidence and and favorable sentiment for the then in power bangladeshi
government and they are in
you know they were they were targeting the youth movements remember when we
pulled up the 22 hip-hop
artists on screen and the whole thing was about youth mobilization these people
formed the front
end of the you know of of the of the destabilization so your argument is
essentially that this game plan
is ubiquitous and that this game plan is done in the united states too to
promote drug use and drug selling
which they profit off of i'm not even going that far what i'm saying is is
there's there's a useful role
um around you know of of music and other artistic and cultural ventures
for um for creating a market for something that helps us statecraft for example
this is the major major
scandal the head of the central intelligence agency uh john deusch had to had
to travel to compton in
1997 i believe that was the year in order to plead with the the black
population there that what had
happened with the cis you know role in in in the drug trade was a sort of you
know occasional one-off
accident wasn't authorized wasn't supposed to happen um but the fact is is that
you know those narco
networks supported the nicaraguan contra movement you needed a market to sell
it uh you know and and those
were those were inner city urban populations in in los angeles that were you
know they weren't the ones
growing the cocaine that was grown in in peru and bolivia and then it was
processed in colombia and
then it was you know that's all that stuff that michael rupert exposed yeah
there's there's been a
there's been a million and it's everywhere you look and it's not just south and
and then again i don't
want to you know this stuff is all to me just interesting i don't have a hard
opinion on it i i uh i
almost don't want to take away from you know so much of the important factual
stuff where i have the
receipts on screen but what i'm saying is you are going to see resistance from
very strange pockets
as you do this distinct entangling process how many people knew that you know
an arm of the state
department right next door to it that gets all of its money from the state
department who sets the
foreign policy is telling the taliban to keep the drug networks open or that
same arm is going after
bukele uh when he tries when he tries to arrest the drug criminals in um in in
el salvador which by the
the way was the you know the most intense of these narco right-wing you know
death squads uh you know
during the um you know during the the cold war um and we pump up every cultural
vector we can again
you know watch taking down a dictator that documentary and look at the role of
music
in in the state department's eyes in being able to galvanize street protest
movements gets everyone on the
street united uh gets everyone listening to the same thing they're all sort of
uh you know aligned like a
magnet uh i mean there's there's i mean even look at places like the azov battalion
and how they sort
of grew out of this black metal rap or you know black metal music uh you know
coalition you know in uh
with with you know highly extremist lyrics and whatnot in ukraine the same sort
of extremist lyrics you saw in
the bangladesh rap songs or the call to take to the streets and the cuban ones
and again this has been
going on a long time look at the look at the lyrics of a of a riot song and
remember this they literally
are standing at the secretary of state's podium um you know uh with arm in arm
with the u.s state
department well you know our so and and everyone can look up you know rock you
know ci's rolling rock
and whatnot there's great guardian articles about all this as well but um it's
it's more to say
coming back to this usa truman show that everything and anything can be an
instrument of statecraft
whether that's the prosecutors the universities the unions the media the social
media
arts dance this is where you get these transgender dance festivals and this
demographic segmentation
you know to see who hates the government well if the if the government is
cracking down on
transgenderism or is not kind to it or they feel like uh you know they want
more rights that's a
useful demographic as a cleavage point for the u.s state department to capacity
build fun flow money to
so that they can be used as a battering ram and i'm not endorsing that but that
is just
why we work i understand what you're saying okay we're running out of time so
let's get to brazil
yeah okay so jamie i sent you a bunch of these um you know screenshots that uh
that you might you
my foundation is going to be publishing in our final report but i wanted to
just go through these
here because we've been talking about the the role of of the criminal justice
system more than anything
you know media is rigged okay it's a headline it's a reputational smudge it can
cost you your job
when the criminal justice system and the judges are rigged and the prosecutors
are rigged
you don't even have a country anymore because they can arrest the president
they can arrest the
they can arrest the the politicians um and uh it's it's a shortcut to control
over the over the whole
side and we we went through examples with you know ukraine burisma serbia we
went through that
whole exercise but um jamie if you can pull on screen you know just uh we can
just go through the the
the text messages this will be the last thing of usa's role with the judiciary
in brazil
and specifically against bolsonaro who is targeted by these anti-misinformation
populous president populous right-wing pot they called him the trump of the
tropics
um same thing part of that same international coalition let me know if you have
any trouble
okay okay start yeah well maybe if you start with the first one actually i
think this is it or unless
i'm in the wrong way well if you yeah if you know okay maybe scroll down or do
you see the ones where
you where you have where you have um yeah i'm just trying to do the lead judge
speaking your phone number
too because if i put the wrong thing on the screen your phone number is going
to show oh yeah sure
okay so how about just the pictures with the the pan okay here you go so yeah
we can start we start with
that one uh right there that image right there does that um does that guy look
familiar this is the lord
the lord actually he actually looks kind of like a mixture of both of us joe it's
kind of funny
but this is the man that they call the lord voldemort judge of brazil this is
the head of the tse the
censorship court which is the subgroup of their supreme court and here you see
a seminar uh that
that he is being trained in where is is that name ring a bell seps uh how many
hours have you and i
now spent talking about the steps program the usaid program that that
explicitly set its its job to get
foreign countries and foreign courts to pass censorship laws this is usa-aid
funded and implemented by the
national down for democracy um this is seps.org the recruit but this gets much
if you if you go back
to the the panel i'll show you more on this all right you know okay yeah okay
here's another one
seps core partner uh ifes is this is basically the uh election strengthening
teaming up directly with
brazil's tse court that is the censorship court that seized x's that that shut
down x and that seized
starlink's assets and that effectively criminalized the speech of virtually any
significant pro bolsonaro
voice in brazil this is our usaid network doing the training doing the
networking and if you go back
go back i'm just going to show a couple more of these okay this is inner news
inner news who we covered
500 million dollars from uh from usaid every single year in brazil doing
training seminars for how to flag
pro bolsonaro dis disinformation i can go on and on i got layers of all these
different judges and
and the the pitches to the prosecutors to arrest it the whole thing was a usa
truman show taking over
the judiciary or at least substantially influencing and tilted to take out
their political enemy bolsonaro
the whole way down and x is still banned in brazil um no i believe x uh you
know
uh entered into compliance by by taking certain actions so they have to censor
yes i believe they
yes they're they're still subject to the to the edicts of the court i should
note oh say lift ban
october 8th yeah after it pays a five million dollar fine right right but and
by the way but the ban the
ban is in place essentially to keep bolsonaro from gaining power well right
well they wanted to they
wanted to make sure that you know again it's the same thing with poland they
want to achieve stability
democratic stability so that he can't rise hugely popular right now it was a
razor close election
and remember you know we pull a lot of tricks in order you know around that and
you're going to find
a lot more of that when you look into the the role of unions like the national
for democracy solidarity
center um and uh and and the whole the whole suite there uh remember we
literally pulled favors with
taiwan this is reported in the in the financial times in order to get them the
the semiconductor
chips to build the voting machines against against bolsonaro's wishes the cia
head of the cia went
down and threatened him bill burns did the head of the pentagon went down and
you met with the army
to tell them you know you have to trust the result of the election is that lloyd
austin the head of the
pentagon um you know we're saying the head of the cia the head of the military
we're running
semiconductor chips just so that they can make uh voting machines that the
elected head of state
doesn't want uh uh and then you know we're we're we're funding their you know
workers movements through
so we have a very specific outcome that we want and then we also make sure that
they use voting machines
that we provide i'm not even weighing into the voting machine issue except to
say that it's it's very
strange that that we would divert semiconductor supplies bound for the us
during a critical shortage
and give them to a foreign government to put in voting machines that the that
the elected head of
state doesn't want that's a very curious thing you can read about all the you
know inside details of
that published in the financial times and in other places jesus
it's also daunting you know it's just it's so overwhelming
how do you sleep no mostly i don't um but uh we we have an opportunity we've
already done more than
anyone who's ever done no foreign facing government agent no no cog in the
wheel of this dirty tricks
apparatus has ever uh had 14 000 99.8 percent of the you know the workforce
laid off the you know the
the name taken off the building with from a month in terms of the the lightning
speed of it um but i'm
i feel a a sense of hope and optimism and a kind of spiritual fulfillment if
that's too big a phrase to
say but i don't you don't see me happy or doing cartwheels or it doesn't really
show on my face
because i know the the size the the the the scale and the duration of this
fight is going to continue
for the the rest of my lifetime and so i don't consider this is not a sprint
period we're running
fast but it's a marathon the whole way what's unbelievably baffling to me is
the complete absence
of the coverage of all these things that should be very concerning in
mainstream media complete absence
the the the all the dis all the discussion the negative anti-trump discussion
about us aid shutting
down is all the good that it does and then also you're going to get access to
people's private data
that's all you're hearing you're hearing the the gaslighting spin is those two
things right but
every single one of those people need to understand the category they talk
about public health and all
the lives and how many more people are going to have you know aids and hiv in
2014 u.s aid was
busted running a covert operation where according to their own you know uh you
know people who are
involved in the operation they set up an hiv uh uh prevention program uh in
foreign countries in or
because it would be the perfect excuse because counterintelligence would never
think that that
the hiv clinics were that were the place that they were using as you know as
key nodes and the regime
change network how many other facilities they were caught there how many others
but in every single
one of those it's dual purpose because the fundamental reason you do this out
of us aid is to dupe people
and this puts this puts our oversight bodies in a difficult spot let's just say
we're funding
transgender dance festivals in in some country because uh turns out they uh
they really dislike a
government that we consider authoritarian and so you could actually see a sort
of i don't know the
situation in venezuela but let's just say that the trump administration has
been at war with maduro and
uh you know wants to you know pursue a policy of turning over that government
and it just so happens that
that government is persecuting the transgender population and the transgender
population if
they could just be built up more you know would be able to convert you know uh
convert more hearts
and minds to vote against maduro well you could see a sort of if i may say
again i'm not saying
this should be done i'm just saying you could see a sort of mega foreign policy
uh explanation for
funding transgender dance festivals in venezuela if that's what the baseline
assessment reveals the problem is
is american people are never going to be allowed to know about it because
imagine the senate oversight
committee why are we funding these transgender dance festivals in venezuela oh
actually because
we're running a uh a lie there by the way everyone in venezuela can watch this
live hearing uh the whole
thing is actually a carefully constructed lie because we're cynically exploiting
the transgender people
to serve as battering rams against the the head of state we want to overthrow
but we have not declared
that publicly i mean you we're back to plausible deniability jesus
this is a lot i think it's probably good to end right here okay but uh thank
you mike thank you for
everything thanks for being you through like i don't think a lot of people
would chase this down like
this and i know this is a lot of weight it's a quite a burden that you're
carrying but uh i mean i think
you're being vindicated in like a scale that i've never seen before it's pretty
it's pretty impressive
and all the stuff that you were talking about before all these documents were
exposed before the
doge went into usa you were dead right about all of it thank you and again i
don't want to get you
in trouble with with this stuff you know some of the topics that we talked
about like the the drug stuff
and the rap stuff and the you know some of the the terrorism stuff is is not my
primary focus i'm not
making hard facial claims there i don't care about the taylor swift thing it's
frankly it's it's just
fascinating that you would see that on a native like this is what i care about
is you know what
we talked about with it's control over media it's control over prosecutors it's
control over social
media and pushing you know social media censorship and these sorts of things
that you know that we
have a once in a lifetime chance to reform and uh i want to thank you and
express my personal gratitude
um for for having these difficult and i'm sure taxing conversations to crack it
all open my pleasure
thank you thank you all right bye everybody
