WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:01.480 This is the Olympic files. 2 00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:06.040 I'm Olio, and. 3 00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:12.759 We decided to do something on false flag operations things. 4 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:17.160 I guess you could consider that the government creates to 5 00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:23.079 create a situation. I guess that they would wish to 6 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.320 have the population agree with and so usually the best way, 7 00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:29.640 especially when it comes to wars, is to get people 8 00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.159 all pissed off, find a boogeyman, and you're a pretty 9 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.240 good shape. Now, we just outlined a few I think 10 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.240 everybody will get the general gist of the situation. But 11 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.560 we looked at some of the incidents and they are 12 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.880 as follows. Fort Sumter, the sinking of the USS Main, 13 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:55.039 the sinking of the Lusitania Pearl Harbor, the Gulf of Tonkin, 14 00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:02.640 and Oklahoma City regarding the Borough Building bombing, the WTC 15 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:07.280 bombing nine to eleven, and I hope it isn't the case. 16 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.719 But what has just taken place in Boston in the 17 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:18.680 detonation surrounding the or during the Boston Marathon. I don't know, 18 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:20.560 is there anything else that you wanted to put on 19 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:20.959 that list? 20 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:26.799 THEO Well, I'm just a couple from antiquity, and this 21 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.239 just shows you how old this trick is and how 22 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:37.560 gullible populations always are. But of course Nero the best 23 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.959 resources we have anyway, say that he or somebody from 24 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.159 his side set the city of Rome on fire, and 25 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.879 of course they blamed it on the Christians because they 26 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:52.959 wanted to persecute the Christians. But also before that, I 27 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.920 was reading online this week that I didn't know this 28 00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.959 until recently, but when Julius Caesar decided to, you know, 29 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.159 across the Rubicon and come take over Rome. Before he 30 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.760 got there, he apparently sent some of his agents in 31 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.879 to cause a few what we would call today terrorists 32 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:20.159 attacks in order to convince enough Roman citizens that there 33 00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.280 was no law in order in Rome. And so who's 34 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.800 going to come and save the day? The man on 35 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.159 the white horse, Julius Caesar, And it worked for him, 36 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.360 It worked at the time for Nero, and it's it's 37 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.479 working for governments today when when they want to start 38 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.280 a war for the profit of a few always, or 39 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.120 when they want to pass some lockdown legislation, have a 40 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.319 get the pretext going, get the more than a pretext, 41 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:50.759 it's they are they're proactive in helping these things happen. 42 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.680 Yeah, I just mentioned the ones that pertained to the 43 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.120 United States, And of course the one that became a 44 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:04.759 very popular event and back in nine to eleven was 45 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.639 referring back to the reichstad being burnt. 46 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.520 Oh yeah, yeah, so everybody's kind of aware of that. 47 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:12.960 So yeah, I mean they the fact that you point 48 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.000 that out, that it's happened across millennia should be a clue. 49 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:20.240 And yet it works every time with regard to for it, Sumpter, 50 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.639 We all understand that pretty much, although some people will 51 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.560 nitpick and say it wasn't the real triggering element in 52 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:32.800 the civil war, which I think it was. But no 53 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.879 matter what, there was gonna be a civil war. And 54 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:38.639 I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you for your input on 55 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.080 that right now, because as far as I'm concerned, this 56 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:42.280 thing was bound to happen. 57 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.039 They were just looking for a way to do it. 58 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:49.599 So what do you think, Oh, oh, definitely, they're the 59 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.280 European the old world European powers wanted it to come off. 60 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.360 They were doing their best to get both sides moomented 61 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:58.960 into a war, and it worked. 62 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.800 And I don't think there was ever really going to 63 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.159 be a Confederate in the United States of America. I 64 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.759 don't think it was ever in the cards for the 65 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.159 nation to be split, because what the nation did in 66 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.400 the twentieth century could not be done if it were split. 67 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.319 So that was not a possibility, although it was always 68 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:18.639 raised that it was going to be that. 69 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.800 Of course, that's why there was a session. 70 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:24.000 And yet in a sense that flew in the face 71 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.879 of the Constitution, which doesn't mean a thing anyway. But 72 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.600 you were allowed to succeed, but Joe go aheadn't try it. 73 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.519 And that's what we've gotten. But this goes back even 74 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.639 into the fifties. In the eighteen fifties, it might have 75 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:41.720 been one of the reasons why Buchanan was poisoned at 76 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.519 his inaugural party. 77 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.240 Which virtually nobody knows about. 78 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.160 No, And I tell you, I've gone back and taken 79 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:49.920 a look at some of the accounts, and they are 80 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:54.160 a riot. One of them claims he had malaria. 81 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.680 All about the dozens of people that were killed by 82 00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:58.879 the same thing he ingested. 83 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.759 Well, they got well. But first of all, they're saying 84 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.920 there was nothing ingested. So that was in some newspapers. 85 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:08.519 Another one said definitely that I forget what it was 86 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.000 that they said that he ate something was spoiled. I mean, 87 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.800 you get the cherries in the milk thing, I don't know. 88 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.920 And then there's there's accounts, uh you. 89 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:16.720 Know that just vary. 90 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.959 And when I went back and I took a look, 91 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.639 I I bookmarked where I found them in this Chronicling America. 92 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:27.319 Dot LC. 93 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.920 And it's great to read these accounts, I mean, because 94 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.279 that's that's just you know, first reporting, and it's there 95 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.839 to be seen. Uh, But there seems to be a 96 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.040 lot of dancing around the fact that he was Uh 97 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.720 there was an assassination attempt on him, and certainly even 98 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:45.920 though he did his survive and others did die, as 99 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.000 you noted, and this happened in DC. 100 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.199 I think it was what the National Hotel or something 101 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.279 like that. I just like, I just like, how how 102 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:54.879 selective malaria gets, you. 103 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:59.120 Know, Yeah, and it only affects the one thide. 104 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.040 Yeah, So at any rate, he was never the same 105 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.360 after that. He was about as malliable as you could be. 106 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.720 But I don't think he wanted any part of beginning 107 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.319 the Civil War. So it devolved upon whoever's going to 108 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.759 be next, and that's Lincoln, you know, And we're not 109 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.680 giving Lincoln a pass as being a hero or you know, 110 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:19.480 the fabled character that we see right up there against 111 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:20.959 you know, with Washington. 112 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:22.040 At both myths. 113 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:26.639 But I would say I think that Lincoln was somebody 114 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.959 who knew what the deal was going to be. He 115 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.600 knew what he had to execute, He did it, and 116 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.519 I do think that he didn't have the stomach for it, 117 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.160 and at some point, probably around Gettysburg, he changed his mind. 118 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.279 And that was not good news for all the other 119 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:44.920 interested parties, both in his political party and elsewhere. But 120 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.040 on the other hand, we see people who are constantly 121 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.480 killing Lincoln and executing him and bringing him. 122 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.120 Back out, and I'm like, all right, enough is enough, 123 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:52.800 we got it, all right. 124 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.720 He's not a demi god, but he's not the bassard 125 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:56.639 you say he is either. 126 00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:58.639 He's somewhere in the middle. He became a president. What 127 00:06:58.720 --> 00:06:59.360 do you expect? 128 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.279 And you see the same thing all along with these, 129 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.600 the two sides, one that want to glorify and one 130 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.600 that want to demonize it. 131 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:10.360 Is it that been your experience as wealthyo? 132 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:16.439 Yeah? Yeah, And it's sadly. I've talked to a couple 133 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:22.879 of people in the South today over the years, and 134 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.439 you know, they would see my point. See what I'm 135 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:31.000 looking at about a lot of historical things. But well, 136 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:36.480 when it came to explaining oh, for example, they'd be 137 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.240 the patriotypes, and they would even understand most of the 138 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.079 problem with the fourteenth Amendment. However, when I would try 139 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.319 to explain to them that the influence of Rome and 140 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.279 the historical documents there, they won't even look at that. 141 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.360 Oh and then because I would link, of course it 142 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.920 factually historically, I would. I'm trying to show them the 143 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:03.439 documents which prove that Lincoln was assassinated by Rome ultimately, 144 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.560 and they won't even look at that because to them, 145 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.759 that's well, they chalk it up to just Charles Chinicky, 146 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.519 which that's it's a good source, but there are many others. 147 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.160 And because they fear that that's going to make Lincoln 148 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.800 look like a good guy, like a martyr. Well, I 149 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.879 don't care about that. I was just trying to show them, 150 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:26.040 you know, factually who assassinated him. 151 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.160 Yeah, And of course this goes on and on and on. 152 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.399 You still have the one side in the history book 153 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.399 side that make him look like, like I said, a 154 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.879 Denny God and any of the others that can't kill 155 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.840 him enough. And it goes on and on and on. 156 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:41.519 Look he's a president that means your son of a 157 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.080 bitch to begin with. I'm sorry, but that's the way 158 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:43.399 it is. 159 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:45.440 I do think he had some kind of change of 160 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:50.320 heart in Gettysburg. I mean, can you imagine walking through 161 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.000 that carnage and seeing it. That's who knows how that 162 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:54.000 might affect somebody. 163 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:55.399 Yeah. 164 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.240 And I think when they talk about all the similarities 165 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.720 between Lincoln and Kennedy, one I think you can add 166 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.440 to that as well is that both of them knew 167 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.360 what the deal was when they signed on for this, 168 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.639 and I think that both changed their minds, ironically one 169 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:12.159 hundred years apart. A Lincoln in eighteen sixty three, Kennedy 170 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:17.840 well before obviously November nineteen sixty three. But at some 171 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.440 point in time, I just think they decided that they 172 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.960 couldn't do it this way. And the once you're assigned, 173 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.960 when the president is assassinated, is that they probably changed 174 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.919 the script and that's not a good thing to do. 175 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:31.840 And that's when they sent out the lone gunmen. 176 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.799 But with regard to Fort Sumter, I mean, first of all, 177 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.840 the Confederate states had seen it, they'd become their own government, 178 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.799 and here we have a Union installation in the South, 179 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.000 and that's Fort Sumter in the Bay of Charleston, South Carolina. 180 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:50.879 So I mean, first of all, you would think that 181 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.960 the Union troops would get there but out of there, 182 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:57.720 and they would be allowed to go peaceably and safely. 183 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.960 But no, that's day down there. So what happened was 184 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.879 there was an order for the fort to be restocked 185 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.000 with supplies, not anything necessarily of a military nature or 186 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.039 an aggressive nature. And let me just read one paragraph 187 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:17.919 from one of the many summaries about what took place 188 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:21.240 that day, and it talks about the vice President of 189 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:25.000 the Confederacy, Stevens, saying that he identified the beginning of 190 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:29.919 the wars Lincoln's order sending a quote hostile fleet styled 191 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:34.480 the Relief Squadron to reinforce Fort Sumter. The war was 192 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.639 then and there inaugurated and began by the authorities at Washington. 193 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:42.759 General Beauregard did not open fire upon Fort Sumter until 194 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.120 this fleet was, to his knowledge, very near the harbor 195 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.080 of Charleston, and until he had inquired of Major Anderson 196 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.519 whether he would engage to take no part in the 197 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.440 expected blow then coming down upon him from the approaching fleet. 198 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:57.960 When Major Anderson would not make such a promise, it 199 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.080 became necessary for General Beauregard to strike the first blow, 200 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.120 as he did. Otherwise the forces under his command might 201 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.120 have been exposed to fires, to two fires at the 202 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.559 same time, and in front and in another in the rear. 203 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.080 The use of force by the Confederacy therefore, was in 204 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.480 self defense rendered necessary by the actions of the other side. 205 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:21.039 So by sending the ship down there, it was clear 206 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.360 what was going to happen. And it happened, and there 207 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:24.440 you had just civil war. 208 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:26.919 And the sources you and I know about, you know, 209 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:30.679 they will they cite that Beauregard was a Romanist. It's 210 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.960 worth noting all that. 211 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:34.519 You know, that whole thing is so strange. 212 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:39.159 I mean, you got Jefferson Davis, who was in contact 213 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:45.399 with Rome. I mean he heretofore he had summered up 214 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.080 in Canada. I mean, it's not like these people would 215 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.080 necessarily just dead bang, you know, diehard Southerners. 216 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.559 And the same goes with John Wilkes Booth. 217 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.919 I mean, you got them missus crazy madman who couldn't 218 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.720 take the fact that the Confederacy had been dashed. 219 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.120 But this guy was an actor who was up in 220 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.559 New York. More than most people were, you know, even 221 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.679 during the war. He was going up there. I mean, 222 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.440 he was availing himself of a certain woman who was 223 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.480 also seeing like a union general at the same time. 224 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.639 I mean, it's like laughable to a certain extent. 225 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:23.799 You know, this wasn't all you know about all ramped 226 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.879 up Southerners who you know, couldn't take the fact that 227 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.000 the Confederacy wasn't going to. 228 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:34.039 Stand, but at any rate, and I mean that that's 229 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:34.360 one of the. 230 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.200 Reasons why it's crazy to think that Booth shot Lincoln 231 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.440 for any kind of military advantage. 232 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:42.399 There was none. It was over with. 233 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:43.919 That was a hit. 234 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.399 And this goes back to what we were saying about Rome. 235 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.360 But that was a whack job that had nothing to 236 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:55.440 do with the war. It had to do with payback, 237 00:12:55.759 --> 00:13:00.480 if you will, and that bank. Huh yeah. And also 238 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:02.559 because people were making money on the war and now 239 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:06.279 the war was ending in their estimation too soon, you know, 240 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.519 how to go with all the and there were people 241 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.799 in Lincoln's own party that were profiteering, you know, even 242 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.399 in his close circles. So I mean there was a 243 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:19.919 lot of intrigue in that. But again, when we were 244 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.399 put back together again, it was in a different manner 245 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:23.440 that has stayed with. 246 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:24.159 Us to this day. 247 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.879 Well, sure, two years after that war you had the 248 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:32.159 coup de ETAs called the Reconstruction Acts by those same 249 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.960 people in Lincoln's party, but not that they were at 250 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.600 the head of it. They were prominent. 251 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.679 You know. One last comment, if we will, I often 252 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.840 wonder too if Lincoln's haste to end the war, if 253 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:51.840 it were somewhat humanitarian, it might have also. 254 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:54.799 Kind of compelled. 255 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.960 Sheridan to go on what is now the infamous March 256 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:02.919 to the Sea. Sherman, I'm sorry, Sharon, and I said, right, Sherman, Yeah, 257 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.120 you know. And and that's something that really stuck with 258 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:08.159 a lot of people down here, is that that absolute 259 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:14.039 of you know, just annihilation of everything and everyone. It 260 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.519 may have hastened the end of the war, but you know, 261 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:19.480 it's to be humanitarian, you have to be what you know, 262 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:23.840 anti humanitarian. So that's that it may not have ended 263 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.919 that way had Lincoln maybe not have to change your heart, 264 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:27.279 I don't know. 265 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:30.919 Now. The next incident is the sinking of the USS Main. 266 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:34.879 We are led to believe that there was a mine 267 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:40.320 out there in the harbor in Havana, and that put 268 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.759 there by the Spanish and that that blew up the 269 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:45.200 main and of course everybody got all po in the 270 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:47.279 United States and then they want to go around smack 271 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:47.840 some Spanish. 272 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:49.919 But what's your take on this? 273 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:56.519 Oh yeah, totally inside job. We wanted to We wanted 274 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.320 the Spanish possessions we wanted and it was not even 275 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:02.960 just Cuba that we wanted. The Philippines is what we 276 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:04.559 really wanted, and we got them. 277 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:07.240 Yeah, we've been all through that out in the world. 278 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.120 You didn't take Cuba, but that's oh, that's right, that's 279 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:12.919 because you wanted to allow Cuba to remain independent. Yeah, yeah, 280 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.919 which of course is you know, the burr in our 281 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.480 bonnet to this very day. But it's supposed to be 282 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.320 that way, and that's what's set up that kind of situation. 283 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.639 But it's just kind of crazy to think that Americans 284 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.159 and Cubans go to work at guantanom Obey all the time, 285 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.720 punch clock's going to go out, and here was supposed 286 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:33.279 to be at such odds with the Cuban government that 287 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.879 there is no kind of reciprocity or any kind of commerce. 288 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:39.120 And this is interesting. 289 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:42.679 The former mayor of Tampa gave a speech at Saint 290 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:45.200 Leo University, and I had to tape it, and I 291 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.320 was surprised during the Q and A that followed that 292 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:51.320 Greco admitted that there was business going on between the 293 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:54.960 United States and Cuba below the radar screen. I was 294 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:58.279 really surprised he said that publicly, and I think at 295 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.879 that time he was specifically referencing that Kren was being 296 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.279 sent down. I mean, the Formers would doing business with Cuba, 297 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:05.600 and I mean, I don't really care, but I mean, 298 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:10.200 you know, and that's what this whole speech was about, 299 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:13.080 was normalizing trade with Cuba. 300 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:14.399 Why not? 301 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:19.440 I mean, go ahead, but I have a quote here 302 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:24.480 you they're going to get a kick out of. It's 303 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:29.799 by McKinley, William McKinley, the president at that time. So 304 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.279 that war happened in eighteen ninety eight. It was fomented, 305 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.120 of course, by the so called Yellow Press, the Hearst publications, 306 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:40.480 And everybody today is we're willing to admit that Hurst 307 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:45.480 was Hearst's publications were propaganda and they fomented that war. 308 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.399 But where we can't make the connections, connect the dots 309 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.440 and see that the same thing's happening today, just different 310 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:55.919 people in charge of the press. But okay, so eighteen 311 00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:00.320 ninety eight was the war in eighteen ninety nine, okay. 312 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:02.799 The source on this is a book called the Life 313 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:09.960 of William McKinley. But in eighteen ninety nine, apparently William 314 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:15.960 McKinley made some speech before a Methodist Episcopal church, and 315 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:24.119 here's what he wrote. Now, keep in mind, we had 316 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:28.000 the United States forces during the invasion and occupation of 317 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:33.079 the Philippines. We had killed and estimated two hundred thousand 318 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:38.240 Filipino civilians. All right, But here's what McKinley said. This 319 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:41.720 is going to sound like Bush Junior. He said, we 320 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.279 could not leave them to themselves. They were unfit for 321 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.200 self government and they would soon have anarchy and misrule 322 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.400 over there, worse than Spain's was. There was nothing left 323 00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:56.200 for us to do but to take them all and 324 00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:02.920 to educate the Filipinos and uplift and civilize and christianize them. 325 00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:09.400 We're gonna christian That's like the in Vietnam. We had 326 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.440 to save the village. We had to destroy the village 327 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:13.079 by saving it. 328 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:17.319 Oh yeah, I'm more was backed in the native people's too. 329 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:20.039 You know, we're gonna save you by killing you. If 330 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.039 you don't like what we tell you to do. Oh yeah, yeah, 331 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:27.480 and and and just real quickly, I haven't really spent 332 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.799 a lot of time. I'd like to, I think, but 333 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:32.519 I don't know if I'll ever get to it, because 334 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:36.079 I don't believe that the assassinations of Garfield and McKinley 335 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.240 were a lone gunmen. I mean, I know Geito is 336 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:40.119 involved in show gosh and all this other stuff, but 337 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.000 you know there's there's there's more to it than that. 338 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:46.400 But I like to throw in the Huey Long one too. 339 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.400 That's it fits the pattern, the loan nut gunman, when 340 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.400 of course they were money powers behind it. 341 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:55.599 Well, you have no secret service at the time of 342 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:59.680 Lincoln's assassination, and supposedly his guard walks away and then 343 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.400 both makes his move. But now that happened in eighteen 344 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:10.000 sixty five, the way we have sixteen years later. Garfield 345 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:15.119 is walking through Union Station and really with not much protection. 346 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:21.799 Two people in his entourage not necessarily very fond of Garfield. 347 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:23.799 You know, it's the old Julius Caesi's story. 348 00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:26.559 You know, you've got enemies in your midst and I mean, 349 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.680 and they walk him through Union Station and bang he 350 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:31.400 gets popped. 351 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:33.039 Now that still isn't enough. 352 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:38.279 You have McKinley getting popped in nineteen oh one, right, 353 00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:42.359 this is twenty years after, yeah, twenty years after Garfields, 354 00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:45.480 And I mean, doesn't anybody get it? There was secret 355 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:47.599 service at the time, And I found one of these 356 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:51.200 old newspapers in that website I mentioned that where was 357 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:54.079 openly questioned like, how did you guys not jump this guy? 358 00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.759 I mean, he's in his line waiting to shake McKinley's hand. 359 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:01.400 He's got a handkerchief wrapped around his hand. Don't you 360 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.000 think it'd be like, Oh, come over here, you know, 361 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:06.039 let's take a look at that. Oh no, he goes 362 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.279 right up in pop's McKinley, you think. I mean, come on, man, 363 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:11.880 you know, one of the odds for a lone gunmen 364 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:14.519 to be successful three out of three times in the 365 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:17.119 course of what that would be some like forty five 366 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:22.200 years or so. So anyway, here are you going with 367 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.440 the main? Now, I'll just read what they did and 368 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.960 then kind of put a PostScript on this. So the 369 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:32.839 US Navy Department immediately formed the Board of Inquiry to 370 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:37.039 determine the reason for the mains destruction. The inquiry conducted 371 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.279 in Havana, lasted for conducted in Havanda, lasted in four weeks, 372 00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:44.279 lasted four weeks. The condition of the submerged wreck and 373 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:46.960 the lack of technical expertise prevented the board from being 374 00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:50.839 as thorough as later investigations, and in the end they 375 00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:54.720 concluded that a mine had detonated under the ship. The 376 00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:57.240 board did not attempt to fix blame for the placement 377 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.880 of the device, the main. All right, The destruction of 378 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.400 the main did not cause the US to declare war 379 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.799 in Spain, but it served as a catalyst accelerating the 380 00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.319 approach to a diplomatic impasse. In addition, the seeking and 381 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:15.240 deaths of a US sailor's rallied American opinion more strongly 382 00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.039 behind armed intervention. Well, isn't that kind of like starting 383 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.480 the war? I mean this samanthic crap. I mean, come on, 384 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:27.319 let's see okay. Lastly, in nineteen eleven, the Navy Department 385 00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:30.400 ordered a second board of inquiry after Congress voted funds 386 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:34.799 for the removal of the wreck of Maine from Havana harbor. 387 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:39.240 US Army engineers built a coffer dam around the silken battleship. 388 00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:42.720 Thus exposing it and giving naval investigators an opportunity to 389 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:46.440 examine a photograph the wreckage and detail finding the bottom 390 00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:49.799 hull plates in the area of the reserve six inch 391 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:53.480 magazine bent inward and backed. The nineteen eleven board concluded 392 00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:58.279 that a mine had detonated under the magazine, causing the 393 00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:03.160 explosion that destroyed the ship, but it gets better. Technical 394 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.960 experts at the time of both investigations disagree with the findings, 395 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.759 believing that spontaneous combustion of coal in the bunker adjacent 396 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.039 to the reserved six inch magazine was the most likely 397 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.200 cause of the explosion on board the ship. In nineteen 398 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.160 seventy six, Admiral Hyman G. Rickover published his book How 399 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.519 the Battleship Maine Was Destroyed. The admiral became interested in 400 00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:28.400 the disaster and wondered if application of minor and scientific 401 00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:32.119
