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

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

HISTORY RHYMES

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

….

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

Fall of the East India Company — World History Encyclopedia 

Increasing Criticism

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

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

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

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

.

.

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

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

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

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

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

Wolf responded:

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Reading the whole article helps.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ROUGH TRANSCRIPT

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

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

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

READS:

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

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

READS:

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

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

Well, who is Byron Engle?

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

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

Alpha then reads the memorandum

…..

DOCUMENT SHOWN @ 13:56.

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

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

…..

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

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

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

[Goes to page two and reads]

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

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

Does that sound like safety to you?

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

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

Dear Byron,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

WIKI article says:

International Police Academy

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

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

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

Role of the LAPD

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SourceWatch: Fusion Centers

Fusion Centers

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

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

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

Criticism of Fusion Centers: Overreaching and Lack of Oversight

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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