    Christopher Bollyn Explains Israeli Connection to 9/11 and Fraudulent War on Terror

    In this YouTube video Christopher Bollyn discusses the deception behind the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent war on terror. He argues that 9/11 was a hoax designed to initiate the war on terror, resulting in the loss of millions of lives and trillions of dollars. Bollyn emphasizes the need to expose this dual deception and put an end to the war. He also discusses the connection between the war on terror and Zionist interests, highlighting the role of Israel in fragmenting Arab states in the Middle East. Bollyn presents evidence of Israeli involvement in the 9/11 attacks and the war in Syria. He concludes by implicating Benjamin Netanyahu and other Jewish neocons in the construction of the 9/11 attacks, linking the evidential trail back to the Israeli government.

    Christopher Bollyn also discuss the role of influential figures like Rupert Murdoch in controlling the media narrative. Additionally, the speaker highlights the involvement of Mossad and Israeli companies in airport security, as well as the inconsistencies and anomalies surrounding the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. Overall, the speaker suggests a dual-deception, where the narrative of 9/11 and the War on Terror is carefully controlled to serve specific interests and calls for people to seek genuine peace and resist the fraudulent war.

    Israeli Connection to 9/11 and Fraudulent War on Terror

    Christopher Bollyn begins by discussing the artificiality of American politics and the control of the media by a small number of corporations. He highlights the lack of reporting on important issues such as the war in Syria and the excessive spending on the war on terror. Bollyn argues that the United States is in a predicament and that there is a need for people to understand that 9/11 was a hoax designed to initiate the war on terror. He emphasizes the importance of exposing this dual deception and bringing an end to the war.

    He argues that 9/11 was carried out to initiate the war on terror, which has resulted in the loss of millions of lives and trillions of borrowed dollars. The speaker emphasizes the importance of resisting this criminal war agenda, as failure to do so would be a betrayal to the nation. They also highlight that the government and media continue to lie about the events of 9/11, suggesting that they are controlled by the same people responsible for the attack.

    Christopher Bollyn then discusses the link between the 9/11 attacks, the war on terror, and the Zionist agenda. He argues that 9/11 was a false flag event designed to push forward the Zionist war agenda and establish Jewish supremacy. Bollyn presents evidence of the connections between individuals involved in the attacks and Israeli intelligence, highlighting the role of Richard Gutjahr and his high-level Israeli intelligence officer wife. He also mentions the meeting of Israeli Chief of Staff, Uhaul Eisen Mofaz, with prominent neoconservatives in the Pentagon. Bollyn further discusses the invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent occupation of Iraq, which he claims were part of the bigger plan to destabilize and control the Middle East. Citing General Wesley Clark’s statements, Bollyn suggests that the ultimate goal was to target seven countries, with five of them already being accomplished. Overall, Bollyn argues that the war on terror was a means to fulfill an unknown plan driven by Zionism and Israeli interests.

    Christopher Bollyn goes on to discuss the Israeli plan to fragment Arab states in the Middle East, which was articulated in a paper published in 1982. This plan involves breaking up the states along ethnic and confessional lines, similar to what happened in Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Bollyn explains that Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Sudan have already been fragmented, and the ultimate goal is to establish Jewish military and economic hegemony over the entire Middle East. He highlights the complicity of the American government in this plan, citing a 1948 document written by the US Joint Chiefs of Staff that acknowledged Zionist objectives. Bollyn also mentions an email written by Hillary Clinton in 2012, where she states that using American force in Syria would help Israel. This, along with statements made by current Secretary of State John Kerry, suggests that the United States is actively involved in fragmenting and destroying countries like Syria for the benefit of Israel, and not out of any American interest.

    Christopher Bollyn then discusses the involvement of the US government in funding terrorist militias in Syria, which has fueled the ongoing war. He highlights the fact that many members of these militias wear ski masks to hide their faces, as they are paid mercenaries who have a future career to protect. Bollyn also points out a concerning incident involving Senator John McCain, who illegally entered Syria and met with leaders of a militia that the US was funding. He identifies one of the men McCain met with as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who later became the head of ISIS. Bollyn questions why McCain’s office provided an inadequate response when asked about the identity of the man in the black shirt seen in the photograph. Bollyn also sheds light on the questionable nature of the US war on terror, noting that terrorism has actually increased since 9/11 and is ten times greater in the countries where the US is fighting. He suggests that either the war on terror is counterproductive or there is another hidden agenda at play. Bollyn concludes by implicating Benjamin Netanyahu, the current Prime Minister of Israel, in the design and construction of the 9/11 attacks, along with other Jewish neocons in the Bush Administration, linking the evidential trail back to the Israeli government.

    Christopher Bollyn also discusses the connection between Ehud Barak and Benjamin Netanyahu, and how Barak made a public statement on the BBC World before the Twin Towers fell, blaming Osama bin Laden for the attack and calling for a war on terror. Bollyn points out that Barak was Netanyahu’s commander in an Israeli covert Commando force. He also highlights the false narrative presented by the New York Times after the attack, stating that hijacked jets destroyed the Twin Towers and hit the Pentagon, when in fact, there is evidence to suggest that drones were used and no large Boeing jet hit the Pentagon. Bollyn also mentions the ruthless actions of the Israeli state in the past, such as the attack on a US intelligence ship in 1967. He concludes by comparing the cover-up of 9/11 to the conspiracy surrounding the assassination of JFK and the immense cost of the fraudulent war on terror.

    Bollyn explains that the War on Terror is essentially an Israeli strategy, promoted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since 1979, to involve the US military and its allies in the Middle East to fight on behalf of Israel. Bollyn points out that Netanyahu wrote books on the topic, claiming that Islamic terrorists were attacking Israel because it was part of the West and therefore the West needed to fight this war. He argues that this is a deceptive way to delegitimize the Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation. Bollyn also highlights Netanyahu’s statement after the 9/11 attacks, where he said that it would generate sympathy and be beneficial for Israel. Additionally, Bollyn discusses the close relationship between Netanyahu and Larry Silverstein, who owned the three buildings that collapsed on 9/11, and how Silverstein acquired the World Trade Center towers through a privatization scheme.

    The speaker also connects the war on terror to the Israeli stratagem and historical figures like Menachem Begin and David Ben-Gurion, who had aspirations for a larger Israel. He emphasizes the extreme nature of the current Israeli government and how acts of terrorism are used to scare people into supporting their aggressive Middle East war policy. The speaker concludes by mentioning the invasion of South Lebanon by Israel and their intention to establish a Christian state there.

    The speaker then discusses the actions of a radical Zionist group known as the Shamir group in the late 1940s, including the assassination of a United Nations mediator in Palestine. The group also played a role in the expulsion of Palestinians during the Israeli takeover after the United Nations partitioned Palestine. The speaker connects this history to the current mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, suggesting he has ties to the “Mohsad” (Mossad) and has been influential in American politics.

    The speaker then shifts to discuss the Israeli aviation of 9/11, highlighting a movie made in 1978 featuring a plane crashing into the Pan Am building and another movie made in 2000 featuring a plane crashing into the World Trade Center. These films, produced by Israeli agent Arnon Milchan, are presented as examples of predictive programming. The speaker also mentions Milchan’s involvement in a secret Israeli organization called Lakam, which was involved in smuggling nuclear components from America to Israel. Additionally, Benjamin Netanyahu’s role in the war on terror and the Netanyahu Institute on International Terrorism are discussed, along with a 1980 prediction made by the head of Mossad about terrorism coming to America, specifically New York City.

    Milchan and another agent, Avraham Shalom Bendor, tried to secure the security contract for the World Trade Center in 1987, but it was torn up when it was discovered that Bendor was a convicted murderer in Israel. However, they later went to work for Jules Kroll, a business partner of Maurice Greenberg, and their company, Kroll Associates, got the security contract for the World Trade Center after the 1993 bombing. It is also mentioned that the Israelis had prior knowledge of the 1983 bombing of the Beirut barracks but failed to share that information with the Americans. The section ends by discussing how the US, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Pakistan cooperated to arm and train the mujahideen in Afghanistan, even supporting anti-western groups, in order to create a future enemy for the War on Terror.

    Christopher Bollyn then discusses the influence of a man named V Rafia, who used Charlie Wilson’s office as his own and had significant control over lobbying efforts. Bollyn goes on to explain how Arab fighters, known as Afghan Arabs, were trained by Israeli military intelligence, including Osama bin Laden. He mentions a man named Ali Muhammad, who trained bin Laden and set up a terrorist cell in Nairobi. Bollyn then connects the creation of Al-Qaeda and Taliban to the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel in the early 1980s. He also mentions an article from Foreign Affairs magazine in 1998 that discussed the possibility of catastrophic terrorism coming to America. Bollyn points out that the authors of this report, including Philip Zelikow, went on to play prominent roles in the 9/11 Commission. He also highlights the Project for the New American Century, a group that predicted the need for US military engagement prior to 9/11.

    The speaker also discusses how terrorism has been used as a pretext for launching wars and justifying foreign policies. He mentions the 9/11 attacks as the catalyst for implementing long-standing plans and projects. The speaker also highlights the close relationship between Israeli intelligence and ISIS, claiming that the Israeli intelligence outfit, SITE, had access to ISIS beheading videos before they were released. Furthermore, he argues that there is a connection between the Clinton and Bush families through their involvement in the Iran-Contra scandal. The speaker suggests that politicians with a secret Vice or criminal history are often willing to do what they’re told to keep their secrets hidden. He concludes by discussing the fraudulent nature of some ISIS videos and how events like the Orlando shooting are used to draw Israel and the West closer together.

    He argues that the American public was duped into supporting the global war on terror through a combination of controlling the investigation, media interpretation, and litigation. The evidence was destroyed, and there was no criminal investigation into the attacks. The speaker also questions the integrity of key figures involved in the 9/11 Commission and their true motivations. He highlights several individuals who played a role in the cover-up, ultimately raising doubts about the official narrative of the events.

    He highlights the influence of figures like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who played a significant role in shaping public opinion through media ownership. The speaker also points out the involvement of powerful figures like Jacob Rothschild and Cheney Woolsey in the control of resources in places like Kurdistan and the Golan Heights. The speaker raises concerns about media consolidation and the lack of transparency surrounding events like the collapse of Building 7. Additionally, the speaker reveals a potential conflict of interest involving Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, who oversaw the 9/11 tort litigation, suggesting that the legal proceedings were strategically settled out of court. Overall, the speaker suggests a dual-deception, where the narrative of 9/11 and the War on Terror is carefully controlled to serve specific interests.

    The speaker then discusses the involvement of the Mossad company Envy in airport security in Europe and their connection to the 9/11 attacks. The company ICTS, which was responsible for security at Boston, Newark, and Dulles airports on that day, was a defendant in the 9/11 Court litigation. However, the trial ended abruptly with the judge dismissing them as just the parent company. The speaker also mentions individuals involved in the litigation, such as Kenneth Feinberg and Sheila Birnbaum, both high-level Zionist players. They were responsible for distributing money to the families of 9/11 victims, and those who accepted the money had to sign non-disclosure agreements. The speaker highlights the connection between these individuals and their ties to Israel. The judge overseeing the litigation, Michael McCasey, is also mentioned, as he belonged to the same congregation as John Schallerstein, oversaw the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and facilitated Larry Silverstein’s negotiations with the insurance company. The speaker suggests that the government and media are suppressing evidence that contradicts the official narrative of 9/11 in order to protect the true culprits. The speaker personally realized early on that the government’s story was a lie and began writing about it, eventually relocating to Europe. He shares conversations he had with former German intelligence chiefs who questioned the official narrative and pointed to Mossad as a possible culprit. However, their statements were not published in German magazines due to strict restrictions on discussing such matters in Germany.

    Christopher Bollyn also discusses the issue of deception and disinformation in the mainstream media. He explains that journalists often do not question the official version of events and those who do are labeled as crazy or fired from their jobs. Bollyn also highlights some anomalies of 9/11, such as the strange behavior of the hijackers and the peculiar characteristics of the planes that hit the Twin Towers. He suggests that there may have been a missile-like object fired before the plane hit the tower, possibly made of depleted uranium. Bollyn provides evidence of a burning object leaving a trail of dark oxides, which he believes could be a result of depleted uranium.

    When discussing the characteristics of the burning World Trade Center towers on 9/11, he suggests that an object, possibly a burning warhead, was used to create a superheated environment inside the towers, causing anything combustible to immediately burst into flames. Bollyn points out that there were peculiar explosions coming out of the entry wounds where the planes entered the buildings, which he believes could be indicative of thermite. He mentions that thermite produces white smoke and incredible heat when it burns. Bollyn also highlights the presence of molten iron and molybdenum in the dust from the World Trade Center, which cannot be explained by burning jet fuel or office fires, but can be attributed to thermite. He concludes that the government reports have ignored this evidence, suggesting a cover-up.

    Christopher Bollyn suggests a controlled demolition was responsible for the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9/11. He mentions the discovery of super thermite material in the dust, which is capable of releasing more energy per gram than any known explosive. The smoke from the burning pile contained nanoparticles that were extremely dangerous when inhaled, causing serious illnesses such as cancer and Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, molten steel was found beneath the rubble, even weeks after the attack. Bollyn also highlights the suspicious destruction of Building 6, where all the evidence for major crimes in the 1990s was stored. The night before the attack, the evidence was stolen from the vault in the basement and then the vault was bombed to cover up the theft. Bollyn raises questions about the Pentagon attack as well, pointing out the lack of visible evidence of a plane crash.

    Christopher Bollyn then discusses the inconsistencies and cover-ups surrounding the 9/11 Pentagon attack and the Shanksville crash. He questions how a small aluminum body plane could have penetrated the reinforced concrete wall of the Pentagon without damaging the columns in between. Bollyn also highlights the lack of evidence of a plane at the Shanksville site, with the debris field located elsewhere. He emphasizes the need to inform, organize, and take meaningful action to resist the fraudulent War on Terror, urging people to boycott Israeli products and engage in political activism. Bollyn quotes JFK to emphasize the importance of seeking genuine peace and building a better future for all.

    At the Q & A, the speaker is asked a personal question about Noam Chomsky and his stance on 9/11. The speaker believes that Chomsky has been an agent of manipulation and control, as his position on 9/11 contradicts the rest of his work. The speaker also mentions Alex Jones, another alternative voice in the media who avoids discussing Israeli involvement in 9/11. In response to the second question about video footage showing a plane wing entering a building, the speaker acknowledges that the video may be fraudulent, but maintains that planes did indeed strike the World Trade Center based on eyewitness accounts and the sound of the impact.

    Christopher Bollyn also reveals that many powerful figures in America, including the Bush family, have significant investments in war stocks. Companies like Halliburton, General Dynamics, and Northrop Grumman profited greatly from the war. Bollyn believes that while individuals like George Bush and Dick Cheney should be held accountable for treason and war crimes, it is important to recognize that the issue goes beyond them. He calls for a proper investigation that includes figures like Cheney, Bush, Sheratoff Ashcroft, and Ali Hupa to expose the full extent of their knowledge and involvement. Bollyn also addresses the Saudi connection, stating that while there is evidence of financial support from a Saudi royal family member, there is no proof of their involvement in the actual crime. He suggests that the Saudis have been manipulated to play the role of financiers, with the United States and Israel dictating their actions. Overall, Bollyn argues that the American government has become a “crimeocracy” run by criminals, and simply replacing one person with another will not bring about real change.

    The speaker also discusses the theory that the images and videos from 9/11 were pre-fabricated and that the witnesses were actors, suggesting that no real footage of the event exists. However, the speaker believes that these theories are “red herrings” and that the focus should be on the fact that thousands of people were killed and the world has changed as a result. The speaker argues that the US and Europe are now engaged in an open-ended war in the Middle East, with plans for more wars with Iran and Russia. They believe that this war agenda is orchestrated by Zionists. The solution proposed is to change the banking system and establish national banks that issue credit to the people on behalf of the state, in order to free nations from debt slavery. However, the speaker acknowledges that this would require a large popular movement to overthrow the current banking system.

    Christopher Bollyn then discusses the systemic corruption in the banking and financial system. He mentions that while there may be some smaller banks that are not in conspiracy with everyone, the overall system is rigged against the people. He also highlights the corruption within the U.S. government, where the president can declare war without Congress and the Federal Reserve controls the printing of money. Bollyn emphasizes the need to reorganize and rectify these situations in order to find solutions. He also touches upon the connection between the Arab Spring and the fraudulent war on terror, stating that the United States manipulated the Arab Spring to serve its own interests, as seen in Egypt and Syria. Bollyn expresses his frustration that these issues are not being discussed enough in America and that the media, controlled by a few corporations, keeps the public ignorant. He concludes by saying that the American people are starting to wake up but that there is still a long way to go.

    At the end, the speaker expresses their disappointment in the current state of the country and the political circus surrounding the Trump-Clinton rivalry. They argue that Americans need to wake up and take responsibility for their own future, instead of relying on one candidate to solve all their problems. The speaker emphasizes the importance of being informed and spreading awareness, as they believe that a revolution of awareness is necessary for real change. They mention various conspiracy theories, such as chemtrails, Fukushima, and 9/11, stating that these events were hoaxes designed to deceive and control the population. In conclusion, the speaker urges the audience to fight against the deception and lies that have enslaved them.

    How Mainstream Press Would Report Israeli Crimes Against America

    This parody video accuses Hamas of committing heinous crimes against the United States of America, which were in fact committed by Israel. This is how mainstream press would twist the stories. Replace the instances of “Hamas” with “Israel” and vice versa, and you’ll get the truth.

    Some of the worst crimes discussed include the bombing of USS Liberty in 1967, which resulted in the death of 34 American sailors and 171 injuries, and the Lavon Affair in 1954, where Hamas terrorists attempted to pin blame for an explosion on Israeli terrorists.

    Other crimes mentioned are the theft of Highly Enriched Uranium for a nuclear weapons program and the 9/11 attacks, where Hamas agents were found celebrating the destruction of the Twin Towers. The speaker also discusses a pedophilia ring run by Hamas agent Jafar al-Epstain. He concludes by urging listeners to care about Israel and sign up for the US military.

  • Barbie Movie Review by Ben Shapiro

    Barbie Movie Review by Ben Shapiro

    In this 43 minutes long video, Ben Shapiro reviews the Barbie movie and delivers a scathing assessment. He criticizes the lack of jokes, coherent plot, and logical coherence in the film. Shapiro questions the intended audience and attributes positive reviews to the film’s politics rather than its quality. He also critiques the film’s portrayal of gender dynamics, feminism, and relationships between men and women. Overall, Shapiro considers the movie to be one of the worst he has ever seen and predicts that it will lose its appeal after the initial hype.

    As one of the worst movies he has ever seen, Ben Shapiro finds the only redeeming aspect in the production design and costumes. He states that the movie seems to despise Barbie as a fascist emblem. Shapiro questions the intended audience for the film and attributes its positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes to its politics rather than its quality.

    Ben Shapiro diligently discusses the movie’s portrayal of Barbie as a tool of the patriarchal capitalist system and the failure of her message of female empowerment. He highlights the film’s lack of logical coherence, including the criticism of mommy dolls while also criticizing discontinuing a pregnant doll named Midge. Shapiro questions the intended audience of the movie, as it references complex topics like Citizens United and includes explicit sexual innuendos. He also comments on the film’s portrayal of Ken as secondary and unnecessary, emphasizing the repeated gay masturbation jokes in a movie targeting children.

    Shapiro questions why the film delves into existential themes and politics instead of catering to its supposed target audience of seven-year-old girls. He also disapproves of the film’s portrayal of sexism in the real world, claiming that it perpetuates a victim narrative for women. He highlights his dissatisfaction with the movie’s handling of the relationship between Ken and Barbie, arguing that it missed an opportunity for addressing equality, and instead, the plot simply restores Barbie’s dominance. Furthermore, Shapiro comments on the film’s attempt to portray the board of Mattel as solely composed of men, which he refutes by mentioning the female representation on the actual board.

    Shapiro also highlights how the character inconsistencies undermine the believability of the story. He discusses the themes of feminism and patriarchy in the film, expressing disagreement with the portrayal of women as competent and brilliant, while men are portrayed negatively. He argues that the film fails to present a balanced perspective on these issues and instead relies on lazy writing and obscure jokes. Moreover, he points out the lack of explanation for certain character decisions and plot developments, further undermining the coherence of the film.

    He argues that the film propagates the idea that women who enjoy the company of men have been brainwashed by the patriarchy. Shapiro also points out various inconsistencies in the film’s plot, such as the unnecessary vote held by the Kens and the introduction of random characters like Michael Sarah. He highlights the film’s portrayal of men as all being garbage and the lack of fulfilling relationships between men and women. Shapiro concludes that the filmmakers are insecure about their own script, evidenced by the narrator stepping in to address the shortcomings of the lead actress, Margot Robbie.

    Ben Shapiro emphatically criticizes the movie for its feminist message, claiming that it perpetuates the idea that it is impossible to be a woman in the modern age due to the patriarchy. He argues that the film wrongly portrays women seizing power away from men, when in reality women obtained power through lobbying men. Shapiro also mocks the film’s portrayal of women masking their power under a giggle and pretending to be confused about money. He concludes by ridiculing the idea that women not being able to wear pants is a symbol of men’s control, calling it “claptrap.”

    In the second half of the review, Ben Shapiro discusses the absurdity and lack of coherence in the plot of the Barbie movie. He points out that the movie tries to create conflict between the men by having the women switch partners, but argues that in reality, men would likely just throw a party if beautiful women switched to other men. Shapiro also criticizes the inclusion of a 15-minute long musical number that adds no value to the plot. He sarcastically comments on the portrayal of men and women needing to be separate and the supposed subjugation of women in the real world. Shapiro concludes by highlighting the multiple endings in the movie, each with its own inconsistencies and lack of substance.

    When discussing the ending of the Barbie movie, Ben Shapiro criticizes its attempt to please the core audience of moms and daughters by inserting footage of moms and daughters playing. He argues that the entire movie focuses on portraying men and Mattel as evil and terrible, and that the last-minute nostalgia play falls short. Shapiro highlights the revelation that a woman actually created the Barbie doll as a failed attempt to defy the patriarchy narrative. He also criticizes the movie’s emphasis on Barbie going to the gynecologist as the epitome of being a human woman, noting that it contradicts the film’s own trans-inclusive messaging. Ultimately, Shapiro concludes that the film’s politics overshadow its poor plot, characters, and humor, and attributes its positive reviews to the infusion of feminist ideologies.

    In the end, Ben Shapiro expresses his concerns about the negative messages the Barbie movie promotes. He believes that Hollywood has taken a beloved brand and turned it into a politically divisive film that seeks to separate men from women and undermine basic human values. Shapiro finds it alarming that a movie marketed towards children ends up being filled with angry feminist themes. He predicts that the movie will not do well in China, and ultimately gives it a negative rating, stating that it is one of the worst films he has ever seen.

  • On Company Business – Full 1980 Documentary on the CIA by Allan Francovich

    On Company Business – Full 1980 Documentary on the CIA by Allan Francovich

    On Company Business is a 1980 documentary on the CIA by the late Allan Francovich. The documentary is a comprehensive look at the role of the CIA in various covert operations during and after WWII. The video covers several topics, including the economic rationale behind the Marshall Plan, the agency’s involvement in supporting democratic forces in Europe, and their use of front organizations to influence events in various countries. It also covers the tensions between Fidel Castro’s Cuba and the United States during the Cold War, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, and the various assassination attempts against Castro.

    The documentary also delves into the CIA’s involvement in the assassination of Congo’s first Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba, and how they attempted to assassinate him with poison. Throughout the video, former CIA officers discuss their experiences working for the agency, the risks involved, and the need for secrecy in their operations.

    The video also provides an in-depth look at the CIA and its involvement in Latin American politics during the Cold War. The CIA is shown to have assisted multinational corporations, engaged in propaganda and political warfare, trained labor organizers against communist movements, and supported military coups. Torture and assassination were also used in the agency’s efforts to combat communism, including the training of death squads and torture techniques in Latin America. The video also discusses specific incidents, such as the Bay of Pigs and the Chilean political situation, to illustrate the CIA’s activities during this period.

    In the last section the video discusses the CIA’s involvement in various foreign conflicts, including in Chile and Angola. It highlights the agency’s attempts to manipulate events to further American interests, often at the expense of human rights and democratic values. The documentary also delves into the relationship between the CIA and American news media, with evidence suggesting that the agency planted stories abroad that eventually made their way to the United States. The video presents various individuals, including former CIA agents, who express differing opinions on the agency’s actions and the ethics of clandestine operations. Overall, the documentary raises questions about the role and accountability of US intelligence agencies in shaping foreign policy and their impact on global relations.

    At 00:00:00 various individuals including former CIA agents discuss their experiences working for the CIA and the nature of its operations. They discuss covert tactics and weaponry such as poisons and electric guns. One former agent also speaks about being recruited under the guise of working for the Department of Defense before discovering that he was actually working for the CIA. Others discuss the risk of having a secret organization like the CIA, but highlight the necessity of having some sort of intelligence service. The documentary also touches on the history of covert operations during wartime.

    At 00:05:00 the video discusses the economic rationale behind the Marshall Plan and the CIA’s role in combatting left-wing political organizations in Europe that opposed the plan. After World War II, there was a fear that the return to unemployment of the depression could be averted only by creating foreign markets for overproduction. Thus, the Marshall Plan was established to provide economic support to the free nations of Europe. However, left-wing political parties in Europe, especially in France and Italy, who were the backbone of the resistance to fascism, opposed the plan, knowing that reconstruction would bring economic and political dependence on the United States. Consequently, the CIA was partly set up to combat on a political warfare basis against the efforts of these parties to impede the success of the Marshall Plan.

    At 00:10:00 the speaker discusses the CIA’s support of democratic forces in Europe and their opposition to fascist and right-wing groups. They also talk about the Cold War and how the fear of communist influence was widespread at the time, with Senator McCarthy fueling conspiracy theories about Soviet spies in the State Department. The speaker mentions that the institutions of power which are penetrated include political parties, security services, youth and student movements, cultural organizations, and even professional societies. To combat this, the CIA funded media outlets such as Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty to spread the message of freedom and provide specific instructions for the Russian people on working towards their liberation under the noses of the Soviet secret police.

    At 00:15:00 it is discussed how the CIA used front organizations to influence events in various countries after World War II. Examples of organizations that were set up by the CIA include the World Assembly of Youth and Coordinating Secretariat of National Unions of Students, which were used to control and influence their members. The CIA also helped to found the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions. The video mentions Irving Brown, who received money from the CIA and distributed it to labor operations, and how the CIA provided financial aid to French unions during a general strike. Overall, the CIA’s involvement in supporting various organizations was considered patriotic during the 1950s.

    At 00:20:00 the documentary discusses the opposition that the communists had towards the Marshall Plan, which was providing economic aid to support freedom and France. The communists attempted to defeat the plan via political strikes called by trade unions and political elements. The US government consequently called upon Irby Brown and Jacob Stone to break the strikes, and they used the help of the Corsican mafia, particularly the racketeer name Fairy Pazhani, who ended up becoming a paid agent of Central Intelligence. The documentary also mentions a conversation between the acting labor attache and George Meany, the Secretary of the American Federation of Labor, where the former gave his views on how unpopular Irving Dunne was and how much damage he was doing to free labor and discrediting people.

    At 00:25:00 it is revealed that the purpose of political and front organizations in Europe after World War II was to fill the political vacuum with forces that would be favorable to close relations with the United States and to preclude any left-wing participation in political life. This was achieved through support for anti-communist movements, intervention in the affairs of other countries, and the support of half-assed dictators, military print, or oligarchy that promised to maintain the status quo beneficial to the interests of the United States and its corporations.

    At 00:30:00 the documentary delves into the tensions between Fidel Castro’s Cuba and the United States during the Cold War. The US government was concerned with the spread of communism, and viewed Fidel Castro as a threat to its interests. However, some within the CIA believed that the US should not be attempting to overthrow or assassinate national liberation leaders like Castro, but rather work with them. Nonetheless, tensions boiled over when Castro announced the expropriation of US-owned property in Cuba, leading to a break in diplomatic relations and the events that followed. The documentary explores the CIA’s involvement in various operations to undermine and overthrow Castro, including the attempted assassination and sabotage.

    At 00:35:00 of the CIA documentary, the necessity of keeping operations secret from public debate is discussed, citing the infamous Bay of Pigs fiasco as an example of when a lack of secrecy led to failure. The documentary includes footage and accounts of the failed invasion of Cuba by human revolutionary troops and the heated denials of aggression made by the US. A former CIA officer stationed in Cuba recounts his personal connections with some of the participants of the Bay of Pigs landing force and his recommendation of individuals for the operation. The epilogue shows exiled family members desperately seeking news of their loved ones while Fidel Castro threatens death for the invaders and President Kennedy seeks bipartisan support for the situation.

    At 00:40:00 several individuals discuss the possibility of President Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy knowing about assassination plans against Fidel Castro. While there is no definitive answer, it is clear that many high-level officials within the U.S. government were aware of the constant actions being taken against Cuba, including attempts to blow up power plants and sugar mills. However, no one in the government approved of any CIA-led assassinations, and the head of the agency at that time stated that he had no knowledge of such plans. It is unlikely that any President would overtly order an assassination, but rather issue non-directed orders to solve problems in Cuba.

    At 00:45:00 the video discusses various attempts by the CIA to get rid of Fidel Castro, including the involvement of organized crime figures such as John Roselli and Sam Giancana. It is revealed that William K. Harvey was in touch with Roselli during an alleged plot to transport poison pills from Florida to Havana; though there was no evidence that this plot ever materialized. Meanwhile, the CIA’s involvement in operations such as these typically did not extend beyond the planning stage, with the work being carried out by contract agents, gangsters, and mercenaries. However, there are reports that at the time of JFK’s assassination a CIA officer was meeting with a Cuban agent in Paris to provide an assassination device to kill Castro.

    At 00:50:00 there is a discussion about the CIA’s involvement in potentially attempting to assassinate Fidel Castro, using methods like giving an agent a device that kills. The committee questions the morality and safety of such covert operations, especially when involving dangerous organizations like the Mafia. The CIAers are quick to note that it is a tricky business, involving evaluations by good intelligence officers and policymakers. The video also shows some historical events, such as the capture of former Congo premier Patrice Lumumba and the CIA’s training camp at Camp Perry.

    At 00:55:00 former CIA officers discuss the agency’s involvement in the assassination of Congo’s first Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba, and how they attempted to assassinate him with poison. The operation ultimately failed, and the CIA resorted to convincing Mobutu to have Lumumba killed. The officers also explain how the agency recruited and worked with agents, including how they sometimes targeted people who were a little devious. They also discussed the risks for intelligence officers who attempt to recruit assets to serve the interests of the US rather than their own country.

    At 01:00:00 the speaker discusses how the CIA would check the names of potential Venezuelan employees of Creole Petroleum Company against their computerized files for any indication of left-wing political sympathies or membership. This was an example of the CIA assisting a multinational corporation. The CIA was also engaged in propaganda and political warfare throughout Latin America to create the optimum operating conditions for multinational corporations. They created fear and hysteria around the growth of left-wing political organizations, such as the communist organizations, and used forged and false documents to bring about a timely effect in certain areas.

    At 01:05:00 a CIA officer talks about how they planted a report in a toothpaste tube to frame a left-wing organization leader who had gone to Cuba on a trip. The planted report in the toothpaste tube was found by the authorities in his luggage upon his return, which led to his immediate arrest and the eventual establishment of a military Quinta. Additionally, the video discusses the CIA’s efforts to drum up support for the Venezuelan charge that Castro was supplying arms to guerrillas in Venezuela by influencing the Argentine government. The video also talks about Kennedy’s policy towards Cuba and how the issue between communism and democracy will eventually be settled by the ordinary working people of different nations.

    At 01:10:00 a man who worked for the CIA recounts how he was called to Washington and interviewed for a position in Brazil. His position was supposedly going to be for a phony organization known as the Postal Telegraph California International, which was later revealed as being under the CIA. He was trained on how to organize against communists, and he eventually became fanatical about it. He was later accused of collaborating with the CIA and did not provide a response to the accusation.

    At 01:15:00 it is revealed that the American Institute for Free Labor Development was established during the Kennedy period, and it was a joint venture between American trade unions and multinational corporations operating in Latin America. The organization’s cover was education and social projects like developing cooperatives and housing, but the real reason was to create organizers who could go back to their industries and spend time doing nothing but organizing. The organization trained Democratic trade unionists, and it was hoped that they could go back to their respective countries and put into practice some of the things that they learned. However, the organization’s board of directors had prominent American employers, such as Peter Grace, and the list of corporations that contributed included American corporations that had never paid decent wages or provided good working conditions in the United States.

    At 01:20:00 it is discussed how the CIA would train and support labor organizers in Latin American countries to turn against the communist movements and prevent them from taking over unions and other organizations. The training included sending people to Front Royal for courses on organizing. The efforts resulted in the overthrow of the Gula regime in Brazil, and the CIA’s involvement was suspected by both the communists and their opponents. The AFL-CIO denied receiving any money from the CIA, and the organization’s books were open to the public. The CIA did not want any records kept to avoid any information leaks.

    At 01:25:00of the CIA documentary, it is revealed that the organization led a propaganda campaign and disinformation strategy in Brazil to justify a military coup in 1964. The campaign emphasized the threat of communism and rallied support from women and religious groups. The CIA also supported the coup by providing arms and even naval assistance. The exiled Brazilian president, João Goulart, had sympathies with Fidel Castro and his regime was ultimately overthrown by a bloodless military coup. Many Communist supporters were jailed and eliminated from the labor movement, while the Brazilian economy suffered as a result of the regime change.

    At 01:30:00 of the video, the Bay of Pigs is mentioned as a turning point in the CIA’s involvement in training and expanding foreign police forces to fight communism. Byron Angle, a member of the CIA at the time, was recruited to expand and lead this program. A third of the police training was devoted to making them aware of the communist menace. As a result, many countries’ police forces ended up using torture, including methods learned from the United States, when interrogating suspected communists. Victims, including political exiles in Europe, reported being tortured with US Army Field telephones, and they were often subjected to cruel forms of torture with no embarrassment from the torturers.

    At 01:35:00 the video discusses the use of torture as a means of interrogation during the Cold War and its ineffectiveness in getting information. The CIA officer interviewed explains that torture is a necessity in the system due to the continued resistance of leftist groups. The video also covers the unsuccessful attempts of the CIA to weaken the left in Uruguay during the 1960s and the promotion of repression during that period. The video then details the story of Dan Mitrione, a CIA officer who worked in Uruguay to improve police intelligence capabilities. Mitrione’s use of torture as an interrogation technique, such as the use of thin wires, is described in detail.

    At 01:40:00 it is revealed that the agency was involved in the training of death squads and torture techniques in Latin America during the 1970s. The program school in Los Fresnos, Texas was used to train students from Latin America how to construct bombs and destroy radio stations and cars, with the CIA running the courses. The agency also maintained a subversive control watchlist that included detailed information on left-wing political activists, which would be handed over to local police or military authorities for action. The death squads were then sent to Argentina where several leaders were kidnapped and assassinated, including Hector Gutierrez and Senator Selmeri Collini, prompting the victims’ families to register with police and flee the country.

    At 01:45:00 it is revealed that the murder of political leaders in Uruguay, including Mitrione, was part of an international campaign that included assassinations of political figures in Chile, Bolivia, and Europe. Mitrione’s presence and actions in Uruguay were part of a CIA advisory program that led to an increase in torture and brutality. Mitrione was eventually kidnapped and killed, and while the US government denied involvement, the murder highlighted the inhumanity of terrorism.

    At 01:50:00 the video discusses the CIA’s involvement in Chile during the 1960s and 1970s. The CIA provided millions of dollars in assistance to various political parties to strengthen them against the agenda supported by Castro. The goal was to prevent IND from being elected president of Chile in 1964 and to elect the Christian Democrats instead. However, after IND was elected in 1970, the CIA launched a plot to stop his inauguration and offered $250,000 for a constitutional ploy to block his election. Nixon ordered the CIA to proceed with the plot with the Chilean military to try to thwart the inauguration of IND.

    At 01:55:00 the speaker discusses his efforts to prevent a plot with the Chilean military, which included sending cables to the White House and State Department. The speaker discovered that the CIA had countermanded his specific orders and was secretly plotting with an extreme right-wing group called Patria Libertad, which had been put off limits by him. He also speaks of his meeting with Kissinger and the President where he accidentally touched a sensitive nerve and learned of a plot to eliminate certain individuals in Chile. The speaker suggests that the Chile situation warrants high priority for the entire administration, and everything should be done quietly.

    At 02:00:00 of the documentary, it is discussed how the CIA attempted to create a financial squeeze on Chile, preventing the government from governing efficiently. By financing truck drivers, the CIA created conditions that would lead to right-wing military leaders intervening, restoring national order, and appealing to those who seek peace. However, this peace is often the peace of the grave for many people, and it didn’t deter Chilean President Allende from standing up for the will of the majority of Chile.

    At 02:05:00 the video provides a collection of transcripts that detail the events surrounding the coup against Salvador Allende’s government in Chile. Orlando Letelier, a former Chilean ambassador to the US, recounts how he was informed of the coup in the early morning hours and how the military demanded that Allende surrender. The video also features commentary from US officials who express regret for the loss of life in Chile but also express that the coup was an internal affair. The aftermath of the coup is also explored, including the torture of hundreds of people in the Air Force Academy basement.

    At 02:10:00 various individuals discuss the dilemma faced by those involved in clandestine CIA operations in Latin America, as well as the potential conflict between US and Latin American interests. The video also features a clip of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger testifying about US policy towards Chile during a period of political unrest. The Americans defend their actions as being in the national interest, but there is growing public concern and moral dilemmas regarding the ethics of such actions.

    At 02:15:00 of the CIA documentary, excerpts of interviews and congressional hearings are shown discussing the oversight function of the US Congress. It is revealed that the Congress had failed in its duty to oversee the executive branch of government and, in particular, the CIA. Various committees and subcommittees of Congress were tasked with oversight of the intelligence community and its operations. However, it was common practice for the intelligence community to brief only specific members of Congress rather than the entire committee, and often they would not pass on the information to the full committee. Some senators even expressed that they did not want to know certain things. Despite this, the CIA continued to involve itself in foreign conflicts, such as by flying arms to Angola, which would lead to further criticism of the agency.

    At 02:20:00 several individuals are questioned about the possible involvement of the United States in the war in Angola. While some deny any knowledge, others admit to receiving CIA funds and support for their activities in Angola. The legality of this involvement is called into question, as the War Powers Act requires that Congress be informed before the commitment of the United States Armed Forces, including paramilitary or other forces, in such activities abroad. Despite this, it appears that the CIA has been recruiting mercenaries and providing them with weapons and training. The reasons for US involvement in Angola are also discussed, including the old Cold War rationale of stopping the Soviet tide and supporting allies who have assisted US policies in other parts of the world.

    At 02:25:00 the documentary details the United States’ involvement in Angola and their fear of Soviet and Cuban influence in the region. The CIA spread false stories about Cubans raping Angolan women to generate support for their efforts in the country. While the CIA was coordinating with South Africa, they were almost helpless against the MPLA, and after an attack by Mobutu’s spare commanders, the United States’ effort was out of business. Senator Clark was sent to Africa to confer with southern African heads of state, and the CIA attempted to control the narrative by ordering their chief of station to prepare Mobutu and the FNLA president on what they should and should not say about the situation in Angola.

    At 02:30:00 the video describes how the CIA attempted to save face after spending millions of dollars on the Angola conflict. The agency could not provide further funding due to public opinion, leaving the soldiers without support. The families of those involved had difficulty receiving help from the US government, as officials claimed that these actions were not part of official policy. The former soldiers and their families expressed their disappointment in how the government handled the situation.

    At 02:35:00 the issue of the CIA’s influence on American news media is discussed, with clear indications that the agency planted stories abroad that eventually made its way to the United States. The chairman questions if the CIA paid people who worked in American journals or for television networks. The head of CBS at that time confirmed that certain relationships had already been established with the CIA and that using CIA agents as sources of information was useful for assessing world conditions. However, the risk of being viewed with disfavor by the public is high now for reporters who work with the CIA to influence American news. The Church Committee was infiltrated by CIA people, and abuses were ordered by presidents, not just the CIA. The main argument is that the CIA is just an instrument for policy execution, and the people who determine US foreign policy are the ones who call upon the CIA and other agencies to execute that policy.

    At 02:40:00 the speaker discusses how the CIA consistently maintained relationships with various security services in countries such as Iran, Chile, Brazil, and Uruguay, even though the human rights violations committed by these security services were publicly known. The speaker argues that these institutional relationships continue to some extent and that they must be stopped for real progress on human rights issues. Additionally, the speaker criticizes the actions of ex-CIA agent Philip Agee, who published a book containing the names of CIA agents and their addresses, calling for them to be punished for violating their agreements to keep classified information confidential. Overall, the speaker opposes secret intervention and subversion abroad and believes that individuals must fight against it.

    At 02:45:00 a former CIA agent denies any involvement in the killing of Richard Welch and explains that Welch was not killed because of his name or nationality, but rather due to the CIA’s history of destabilizing efforts towards socialism and progress in countries like Greece. The agent discusses the CIA’s promotion of dictators and suppression of human rights in various nations, citing Iran as an example where he believes the United States has benefited from its relationship with the Shah. However, he also acknowledges that the Iranian people may not have shared the same view and that the propaganda coming from the regime was not necessarily reflective of reality.

    At 02:50:00 retired CIA officer Stansfield Turner discusses the agency’s involvement in Iran during the Shah’s regime. Turner recounts how the CIA was instrumental in organizing the Iranian internal security police, known as SAVAK, which was well-documented as using torture to suppress political dissidents. He notes that the Iranian people are fully aware of the CIA’s role in creating SAVAK and how this has caused rage and anger towards the US. Turner then takes an oath pledging to support and defend the US Constitution.

  • Video Exploring Possibility of Collapse of the United States

    Video Exploring Possibility of Collapse of the United States

    The video explores the possibility of a collapse of the United States, citing concerns over lack of trust in government, partisan gridlock, and the perception of widespread corruption.

    The author discusses the weaknesses in the American system of representative government, including challenges in finding and verifying quality information, political schemas becoming entangled with self-identity, and a polarized population susceptible to propaganda.

    The role of media, public relations, and propaganda in shaping American perspectives is also examined, and a proposed solution by Walter Lippmann to form a tax-funded intelligence bureau is discussed.

    Ultimately, the video emphasizes the need for a “crucial core” in self-government to prevent the collapse of the United States and invites viewers to contemplate a post-collapse world if nothing changes.

    00:00:00

    In this section, the host poses the question of whether the United States will collapse, citing concerns over lack of trust in government, partisan gridlock, and the perception of widespread corruption.

    He goes on to discuss how disillusionment and polarization have become the best predictors for authoritarian takeover, and how this could lead to anarchy or tyranny in the most armed nation on earth, potentially impacting the entire world.

    The host then introduces his special guest, Walter Lippmann, a 20th-century journalist and propagandist, who wrote a book called Public Opinion, which highlighted a deeper problem with the American system of representative government.

    Lippmann argued that there was a weakness in how power and information flowed through the system, with sovereignty resting in the hands of individual citizens who delegate that power through elections and public opinion. The core idea behind this system was considered radical and experimental at the time of the nation’s founding, and has been subject to challenges and concerns over the years.

    00:05:00

    In this section, the author discusses how the initial design of the United States relied on individual self-interest being directed towards the public good. However, this design assumed that citizens would only elevate the most competent amongst them and that politicians would heed public opinion.

    These assumptions have become vulnerable points of weakness as the nation has grown in size and complexity. Furthermore, the author illustrates how complicated it is for an individual to become fully informed on every issue of the day, using the example of a major tech company’s announcement of creating the world’s first general artificial intelligence.

    The video states that modern-day forces, such as destructive propaganda, incoherent policy making and an overreliance on the manufacturing of consent and distractions, are inflaming these weaknesses, making the entire nation susceptible to crisis.

    00:10:00

    In this section, the challenges of finding and verifying quality information are discussed. The example of Clyde, who has limited resources and time for research is given, which highlights the issue of information overload and distractions that hinder thorough research.

    The general population’s ignorance about political issues, and their own ignorance, are pointed out, and Lippmann’s concept of the “stereotype” is introduced as being at the core of political beliefs.

    Lippmann believed that people were not discussing political differences rationally, creating a dangerous vulnerability. The importance of intellectual humility, the vast scale of topics, and the need for a variety of quality sources in research are emphasized.

    00:15:00

    In this section, the video explains the concept of schemas and how they play a role in shaping beliefs and behavior. Schemas are mental frameworks that humans develop to organize and navigate the vast amount of information and memories they encounter throughout their lives.

    These schemas can be influenced by past experiences, media, and other factors, and can lead to oversimplifications or inaccurate beliefs about the world. While schemas can be useful in making quick decisions, they can also lead to a confirmation bias where individuals only notice things that reinforce their existing beliefs and ignore contradictory evidence.

    Schemas can change over time, but this process can be slow and difficult, especially for complex and abstract beliefs like political opinions.

    00:20:00

    In this section, the author explains how political schemas often become entangled with one’s self-identity, giving the impression that they are the kind of person who believes certain things and not others.

    This self-reinforcing web of belief makes it difficult to engage with evidence or ideas that conflict with one’s beliefs. Political partisans are more likely to make logical mistakes, jump to conclusions, and bend evidence to fit their worldview.

    To reduce the detrimental impact of ideological bias, individuals ought to be self-aware and humble enough to know that their thinking is always at risk of these distortions and form a new super schema that connects their identity to this awareness.

    The author notes, however, that fostering a political culture that values intellectual humility is unlikely in the United States due to the cultural dogma of the innately rational citizenry combined with the intellectual arrogance and fanatical certainty of political partisans.

    00:25:00

    In this section, the video explores how a polarized population with unchanging beliefs and rooted in tribalism is susceptible to propaganda. A few tools for self-government to navigate disagreement include persuasion, compromise or bargain, ignoring, or forming a consensus.

    If you believe the opposition is insane or evil, then these tools are off the table. The news media is another major player, which often fails in its responsibilities due to its fragmented and sensationalized business model.

    True investigative journalism requires a huge investment, but most Americans expect news for free which, in turn, leads to an over-reliance on advertising, sensational content, and click-bait titles that may not always align with the reality of the situation.

    00:30:00

    In this section, the video focuses on the role of media, public relations, and propaganda in shaping the American perspective. The media landscape is highly polarized and it’s nearly impossible for citizens to have a comprehensive and unbiased view of any issue.

    Rather than focusing on accuracy, news media companies prioritize fulfilling their audience’s demand for preconceived ideas to maintain their business models. This gives an opportunity for anyone with enough resources to exploit this weakness towards external and internal threats. The video also details how the emergence of public relations added a new player in the information ecosystem of a democracy, which reshaped public opinion by planting stories, creating artificial events, or even paying people to promote products or ideas.

    The combination of radio, film, and PR created a powerful force, but the Internet has become an influencing machine of unmatched power in history, making PR’s presence in American life so common that it is rarely reported or thought about.

    00:35:00

    In this section, the author highlights the power of public relations and PR agents in shaping information, both online and in political discourse. With the decline of traditional news sources, journalists have become more reliant on PR agents for news, and with the rise of social media, it is easier than ever to sway public opinion on a large scale.

    Meanwhile, an idealistic politician faces two scenarios: ignoring public opinion and following their own agenda, potentially leading to manipulation and propaganda, or following public opinion that is influenced by PR agents and their clients, resulting in a lack of coherent policies. Ultimately, the increasing complexity of modern problems and the struggle to solve them can lead to a sense of helplessness among citizens, allowing undemocratic influence to flourish.

    00:40:00

    In this section, the focus is on the proposed solution by Walter Lippmann, who suggested forming a tax-funded intelligence bureau to assemble experts on national issues to provide an analysis of problems and potential solutions in a digestible report to the public.

    However, the solution is now deemed too naive, considering the possibility that the institution may become corrupt over time. While there are institutions in the US that aim to provide knowledge to the people, these have been criticized due to their failures and deceptions, with the entire collection often labeled as “the Deep State.”

    To address this, the essential core needs to be developed in the public, which includes the mental tools to audit their own beliefs and schemas, the ability to debate ideas with others, demand accuracy in information sources, and track policy issues over time without falling victim to counter-messaging. While not all people have these ideals, the development of the essential core is crucial to overcome America’s core vulnerability.

    00:45:00

    In this section, the speaker emphasizes the need for a crucial core in self-government to prevent the collapse of the United States. He acknowledges that the current situation is an active experiment in real-time, but believes that exploring steps towards strengthening this core may prevent decline and destruction.

    The speaker concludes by saying that if nothing changes, he fears the collapse of the United States and invites the viewer to join him in contemplating a post-collapse world.

  • The Bernays Dynasty: From Freud’s Mistress to the Father of Public Relations

    The Bernays Dynasty: From Freud’s Mistress to the Father of Public Relations

    The Bernays Dynasty is a fascinating family whose influence can be felt across various fields, from literature to public relations, politics, and feminism. The dynasty’s origins can be traced back to Rabbi Bir Neustedtel, or Baer Lazar, who lived in the German state of Hesse. His sons, Isaac and Jacob Bernays, founded influential dynasties in Europe, America, and Australia.

    Isaac Bernays was the chief rabbi of Hamburg and is credited with combining orthodox Judaism and European culture in education. His younger brother, Adolphus Bernays, was the first professor of German at King’s College, London. Adolphus Bernays wrote multiple books to help English speakers learn German. Hakham Isaac Bernays founded a branch of the Bernays dynasty that remains influential to this day.

    One of Isaac’s sons, Jacob Bernays, became a respected philologist and translator who wrote a biography of Joseph Scaliger, the founder of modern chronology. Isaac’s son Michael Bernays renounced Judaism in favor of Christianity and became a German historian of literature and an important researcher of Goethe and Shakespeare.

    Isaac’s eldest son, Bermann Bernays, had a daughter, Martha Bernays, who became Sigmund Freud’s only wife. According to many of Freud’s biographers, her younger sister Minna Bernays was Freud’s mistress, and it is likely that Isaac Bernays’s granddaughters inspired the Austrian psychoanalyst to study sexuality in depth.

    Bermann’s grandson, Edward Bernays, is often referred to as the “father of public relations“, a newspeak for “father of propaganda“. He was responsible for many famous campaigns, including the promotion of female smoking as a feminist act and work for United Fruit Company related to the CIA-organized overthrow of the democratically elected government of Guatemala.

    Other notable members of the Bernays family include:

    • Thekla Bernays – a suffragette who wrote a decalogue for women that laid the foundations for modern feminism;
    • Karl Ludwig Bernays – a German journalist and associate of Karl Marx who later held several important positions in the Republican Party after emigrating to the US;
    • Doris Fleischmann Bernays – feminist activist and Edward Bernays’s wife, who urged women to keep their names after marriage and was the first married woman to obtain a US passport with her maiden name;
    • Paul Bernays – a Swiss mathematician known for his work in the axiomatic set theory and the philosophy of mathematics who co-founded the philosophical journal Dialectic;
    • Robert Hamilton Bernays – a liberal member of Parliament and close friend of Sir Harold Nicolson, one of the organizers of the League of Nations, and other high aristocrats in the UK.

    Despite the extensive information available on deceased members of the Bernays family, information on the living members of the family is limited. However, the descendants of the Bernays dynasty continue to have a direct influence on the public consciousness of many nations. Mark Bernays Randolph, the great-grandson of Martha Bernays, is an entrepreneur and environmentalist from the United States and is the co-founder and first CEO of Netflix.

  • Why Ukraine Has Higher Casualties Than Russia in War

    Why Ukraine Has Higher Casualties Than Russia in War

    00:00:00

    In this section, the speaker explains why Ukraine must have higher casualties than Russia in the ongoing conflict. The speaker uses underground reports from various mainstream Western journalists and interviews with westerners who fought in the war as sources. He also highlights that Ukraine has lost the war and over 100,000 Ukrainian military officers have been killed.

    Despite being outnumbered, the speaker notes that the Russians invaded with a relatively small force, and most of the soldiers were gone during the successful Ukrainian offensives. Furthermore, the speaker notes that the extreme disparity in firepower has been noted by both the Ukrainian and the Western media, and the lack of armor, artillery, and ammo on the Ukrainian side has made them less wasteful.

    00:05:00

    In this section, the video discusses the reasons why Ukraine must have higher casualties than Russia in the ongoing conflict. The Russian artillery, armor, and infantry are more modern and advanced than the Ukrainian forces, and the Russian air force, though limited in numbers, is still operational.

    Additionally, Ukraine lacks long-range weapons, which have caused substantial damage that the media may not be reporting. The video also states that the armies’ methods of fighting differ, as Ukraine lacks armory, leading to engagements with little to no artillery support and light armored attacks without any objective. The Ukrainians are described as stubbornly holding every inch of land and engaging in sometimes-suicidal attacks with no willingness to retreat.

    00:10:00

    In this section of the video, the speaker discusses the lack of proper training and intelligence provided to Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines, resulting in unnecessary casualties. The mobilization process for soldiers in Ukraine is shown to be poorly managed and there have been cases of disabled individuals and even six-year-olds being called up for duty.

    A firearms instructor who visited Ukraine provides a disturbing account of the conditions soldiers are facing, which is made worse by the acute manpower shortage in the country. The speaker questions the quality of troops and the losses incurred in the conflict, especially compared to the mobilized and trained Russian soldiers.

    00:15:00

    In this section, the speaker discusses the inefficiencies and challenges of the Ukrainian military structure, from needing approval for range time from a general to approval for gas for a car. He argues that this structure is not an effective way to fight a war, and even suggests that it may be designed to be intentionally ineffective.

    Additionally, the speaker notes that the incentive to appear incompetent due to conscription has contributed to Ukraine’s lack of preparation for the war compared to Russia, which suffered major losses at the start of the conflict.

    00:20:00

    In this section, the speakers recount their experiences in the Ukrainian and Russian militaries. One of the speakers was saved from being part of a failed mission that caused the deaths of all of its participants.

    The other speaker describes a near-death experience during his first mission. The section ends with a tragic account of a tent city that was hit by a thermobaric weapon, resulting in the deaths of 135 young officer recruits.

    00:25:00

    In this section, a man recounts his experience during a battle, where he thought it would be an easy win due to the close distance of the enemy. However, the opposing forces were actually much farther away and ended up causing high casualties among his team.

    He describes the chaos and panic that ensued, with vehicles blowing up and people getting killed. Even though he did not fire a single round, the man was overcome with fear during the intense fight and found himself hiding in a ditch.

    00:30:00

    In this section, a first-hand account of a battle in Ukraine describes the overwhelming artillery fire that Russian forces employed against the Ukrainian army. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, the Ukrainians attempted to fight back but struggled due to the Russians’ superior range advantage.

    The result has been a significant disparity in casualties, with the Ukrainians sustaining upwards of 200 fatalities per day and 500 wounded while the Russians suffer fewer casualties. This strategy was a shift from earlier in the war in which the Russians engaged at closer range with Ukrainian fighters. Western volunteers also attest to the rarity of seeing Russian forces directly.

    00:35:00

    In this section, the speaker discusses the strategy of bombing and destroying areas before losing them to the enemy, which he claims is often done by the Russians. He also acknowledges that the casualty situation during the Ukrainian conflict turned even more in Russia’s favor.

    The speaker then shares his experience of being deployed to Pisky, a contested area, with a heavily armed convoy, ready to assault the city and shovel it out. However, their convoy was spotted by drones, and their artillery missed the town, resulting in no casualties.

    00:40:00

    In this section, the speaker recounts his own experience of a landmine hitting their vehicle while under fire and how he lost his entire squad that day. He also highlights the Russian retreats, which were often made fun of, but which he argues were done with minimal losses and no routing.

    He cites various news articles that suggest the high casualty situation of the Ukrainians, especially during the Harrison offensive and the recent fighting in the Bachman region, and highlights how even the locals are spotting for the Russian artillery.

    00:45:00

    In this section, the speaker discusses the reasons why Ukraine must have higher casualties than Russia in the ongoing conflict. Despite having more concentrated forces due to a manpower advantage, Ukraine holds an inferior position in armor, artillery, air force, and medium to long-range capabilities.

    The lack of training, tactics, and basic supplies like winter clothing causes extreme losses reported by Ukrainian journalists and medics. The speaker refutes the two arguments that support lower Ukrainian casualties, namely the idea of attackers tripling the losses and lost equipment. The speaker emphasizes that these arguments lack logic and understanding of basic military doctrine.

  • Social Media Bot Network Analysis

    Social Media Bot Network Analysis

    Oh boy, do we have a treat for you! In this video brought to you by Cook Unity (because who doesn’t want some fresh meals when discussing potential political bot networks?), we dive into the world of social media bots. You know, those pesky automated accounts that make it difficult to trust anything you see online?

    But fear not, the intrepid AI-based social experiment (because what could go wrong with that?) has uncovered a vast network of directed bot traffic, infiltrating everything from American politics to Asian adult content (which the author totally stayed away from, for obvious reasons).

    And get this, there’s a Blue Wave propaganda network being spun up again for the 2024 election! Who would have thought? But don’t worry, the author tested a bunch of profiles with his own set of criteria, and concluded that they were definitely bots. Or maybe not.

    Bot prediction tools are useful, but maybe should not be relied on exclusively, especially with the current push by Elon Musk to lock down and pay for much of the platform. So, there you have it folks, just another day in the exciting world of social media botnets!

    For Real

    The video describes a social experiment that used AI-generated content to create a false identity in order to highlight the dangers of human beings losing control of reality due to not being able to trust anything seen online.

    The experiment involved using bonded social media accounts to create the appearance of authority, and the creator discovered a directed bot network that was inflating follower counts. They then used Twitter’s API and a program called geffy to analyze results and visually graph the composition of the botnet interactions.

    The creator found a nearly 10-year widespread democratically aligned Blue Wave propaganda network that was used in 2016, 2020 and is being spun back up right now for 2024. The network contained integrated bot traffic that focused on political, adult, or crypto themes, and had ties to Indian politics, American politics, adult content, and crypto.

    The creator discovered that there is a tremendous bot network that has now been spun up twice and is gearing up again for the 2024 election.

    The video also includes a sponsorship message for Cook Unity… So there’s that!

    Let’s Sing Along

    On the brink of losing control,
    Online content takes its toll.
    AI-generated identities,
    Spreading false info with ease.

    A social experiment tried and true,
    Exposed the dangers we’re going through.
    Bots, bots, everywhere we see,
    Fake followers, fake activity.

    From politics to adult content,
    These networks are fully bent.
    Democratic propaganda,
    Is the aim for the bot agenda.

    Thanks to Geffy and Twitter’s API,
    We got to the root of the lie.
    Cook Unity’s sponsoring this fight,
    Fresh meals to keep us energized.

    Don’t trust what you see online,
    Bot networks are the new landmine.
    Stay vigilant, stay aware,
    Or reality will soon disappear.
