1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: The following presentation is Del Marvis Studios Production.

2
00:00:08,439 --> 00:00:12,759
Speaker 2: You're listening to the fact Hunter Radio Network. Here is

3
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:15,480
your host, George Hobbs.

4
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back truth seekers from around the world. It's time

5
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:22,679
for another edition of the fact Hunter podcast as we

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,559
record on this Tuesday afternoon, November fourth, twenty twenty five.

7
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:31,519
Hope everybody had a great weekend and your week is,

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,799
you know, going well. Obviously, there are lots of things

9
00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:39,200
in the world going on, the election in New York City,

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:45,079
et cetera, where it's again evil versus the lesser evil.

11
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,600
You have a COVID tearness versus a full out Marxist.

12
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:52,079
You know, people need to start realizing that there has

13
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:54,359
to be an option see in these situations. But we'll

14
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:56,960
get to that. I'd originally planned to do a deep

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,880
tive into the Vatican Vatican City. It's finance ties. How

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,560
Rome never really fell. It just kind of repackaged itself

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,480
and the Jesuit Order. It was a very deep, ninety minute,

18
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,879
two hour podcast. And I woke up this morning to

19
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,200
the news that Dick Cheney had died. And for anybody

20
00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:21,719
who was in the military from the nineties and two thousands,

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,920
he you could say directly or indirectly affected their lives.

22
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,840
So you know, I felt this should be moved up

23
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:36,319
in the order of precedence. Well, the other podcast is

24
00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:38,920
ready to go. If I'm able to finish this today,

25
00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:42,000
we'll bring that on Thursday. If not, we'll be a

26
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,079
two parter. We'll finish Thursday, and then I can just

27
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,159
tell you over the next two weeks, I will drop

28
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,840
podcasts when I can. Between my you know, dentist appointments

29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,879
next weeks and my daughter getting married the following weekend,

30
00:01:55,959 --> 00:01:59,719
we have family coming into town. I can't promise, you know,

31
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,200
exactly Tuesday night at eight pm we're going to get

32
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,640
these podcasts out, but I promise, if I have some

33
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:08,199
down time, we'll get something out to you before we

34
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:15,599
get started today. There was the Republican Jewish Coalition this

35
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,039
past weekend, and you know, we were told you're not

36
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:23,199
MAGA unless you put Israel first, and this, that and

37
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,159
the other thing. And for the longtime listeners, you know,

38
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:29,879
I say that you're either in Christ or or anti Christ.

39
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:33,000
There is no in between, and they want to confuse you.

40
00:02:33,159 --> 00:02:38,400
The geopolitical you know, state of Israel is somehow connected

41
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,960
to a new Testament. One thing you'll notice is they

42
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,960
always refer to Old Testament scripture. Someone who gets under

43
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,360
my crawl more than most is this Mark Levin guy.

44
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:53,639
I think if you call yourself the great One, I

45
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,560
think that's when I check out. I won't listen to

46
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,280
any more of you. And this is what he had

47
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:02,199
to say on Saturday.

48
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: And I just want the anti American, anti Israel, anti

49
00:03:11,039 --> 00:03:16,639
West crowd to understand something. You're gonna have to come

50
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,800
through me and millions of people just like me, and

51
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:23,840
you're not gonna make it. You think your stupid little

52
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:29,719
podcast or your stupid little subscription program, or your little

53
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:33,080
TV show or maybe you have a little radio show

54
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:36,400
is going to change the world, Like hell, it is

55
00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:38,680
not if I and everybody else have something to say

56
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:39,199
about it.

57
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: So you know, I have a little podcast. I've had

58
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,120
it for five or six years now, and I simply

59
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:48,879
speak the truth. And I see someone, I've seen a

60
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,759
group of people who through several generations. Right, I'm not

61
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:56,520
going to point out a certain generation or any to

62
00:03:56,599 --> 00:03:59,879
be fair, we have the technology we have today that

63
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,759
they didn't have in the thirties, forties and fifties, and

64
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,439
I'm not here to offer excuses either, right, But when

65
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:15,120
you're only available histories through books that were controlled it,

66
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:18,639
you know, I can see from that and unless you're

67
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,199
really truly understanding the Bible. And that's why I tell

68
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,199
people it's so important for you to read the Bible,

69
00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:27,920
not to listen to other people talk about the Bible.

70
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:32,120
Pick up the New Testament to read it right, to

71
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,000
read the Book of Hebrews, the Book of Romans nine specifically, right.

72
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:42,160
And when you hear Paul talk about lamenting wishes he

73
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:46,199
could switch places with his fellow Jewish brothers and sisters

74
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,199
who had turned their back on Christ because he knew

75
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:53,000
that they were doomed. This isn't coming out that they

76
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,720
pull the anti semit card. I have always said, I'm

77
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,199
not coming from a place of hate, right, And they

78
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:02,920
say pray for Israel. I pray for them that they

79
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,800
fall on their knees and accept Christ. You know, in

80
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,279
my little podcast, right, they tell you, on one side

81
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,360
you have freedom of speech, and on the other side

82
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,519
they laugh at you and they mock you, just like

83
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,480
Mark Levin did right there, right, And that's exactly what

84
00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:27,759
he did. I actually had another clip, but I think

85
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,680
it's the same one. Let me see. I had Lindsey Graham,

86
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,519
who's just as creepy. Let me see if I can

87
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,720
find him. Well, here is former police officer. I'm not

88
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:41,680
familiar with this fella. I'm sure some of you are.

89
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:47,839
His names Brandom Tatum and he's calling for Gaza to

90
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,000
be turned into a parking lot. And I had a

91
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,959
fellow pastor say this to me, and it really disenfranchised me.

92
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 4: Listen to this, y'all keep praying for me. I said,

93
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,000
I want them to turn that place into a parking lot.

94
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,279
I gotta preface it because somebody gonna clip this and

95
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:10,519
put on the internet. Not because of the Palestinian people,

96
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:16,240
per se individual people, but because if you dare to

97
00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:21,079
do such an atrocity to people that I love, people

98
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,720
that I respect, people that are chosen by God. You

99
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,040
decide to do something like that, you should never have

100
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,399
an opportunity to do it again. And it should be

101
00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:37,879
an example to everybody in the world that if you

102
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,040
ever think about trying something like this, your country will

103
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:52,879
cease to exist. Boy, if I was the prime minister, ooh,

104
00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:58,079
forty eight hours, give me forty eight hours. And so

105
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,199
it enraged me. And then I said my statement. I

106
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,800
thought that most people in America were thinkers and had

107
00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:12,600
common sense. Well, shockingly enough, I was wrong, because after

108
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:15,120
I said it, we see all this anti Semitism popping up.

109
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,079
We see mindless people on campus wasting hundreds of thousands

110
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:22,160
of dollars, getting no real education, and they are right

111
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:23,879
here talking about from the river to the sea and

112
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,480
don't even know which river it is. You got people

113
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:35,360
out here saying death to Jewish people and games for Palestine.

114
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,839
I talked, I said, I swear I'll pay for your ticket.

115
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: So again, here's another guy who on Twitter, he talks

116
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,800
about he is the man of God and he calls

117
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:50,959
for a country to be turned into a parking lot. Again,

118
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,839
these people are not doctrinally sound, and you know, I'd

119
00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:58,120
like to believe that they're just confused and they don't

120
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:01,519
understand the Bible. But I've I've been told how much

121
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,839
that these gentlemen were paid to come to speak at

122
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:07,959
the Republican Jewish Coalition, And I think the smallest paycheck

123
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,519
I heard was twenty five thousand dollars, and that was

124
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,040
the smallest. Right now, Israel is paying social media influencers

125
00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:21,879
seven thousand dollars per tweet that is pro Israel, and

126
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,879
there's some big names. I'm not going to get into

127
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:27,079
it right now, but again, this is propaganda with a

128
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:32,639
capital P. And just because you don't stand with Israel

129
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,759
doesn't mean you're anti Semitic or you are pro Islam.

130
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:42,840
It just means those people control our government. They were

131
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,919
behind nine to eleven, they were behind the USS liberty,

132
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,960
they were behind the jfk assassination. The Rothchilds were behind them,

133
00:08:51,039 --> 00:08:57,120
and they are not the biblical Israel. John fourteen six

134
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:03,720
explains everything in detail. It's very frustrating to see people

135
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:09,480
who claim, you know, they're biblical scholars, to just spew

136
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,120
these lies to New York City. The good people of

137
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,320
New York City have the choice today between a guy

138
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:22,960
named zo Ron Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo, one gentleman who

139
00:09:23,159 --> 00:09:28,159
is a democratic socialist whose mother, by the way, there's

140
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:33,279
always a connection. Mom is very much in the club.

141
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,799
If you take the time. Her name is Mira Naire

142
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,320
and her husband's name was Mitch Epstein. You cannot make

143
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,759
this stuff up. Take the time to research it. And

144
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:52,399
this guy is a full blown socialist. He wants universal

145
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,840
basic income. If you don't stand with him, you're a fascist.

146
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:06,120
He is very very He considers himself to be a

147
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,559
hair an air, sorry, not a hair an air to

148
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:13,039
the policies of FDR. And we have spoken about FDR

149
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,799
and nauseum on this podcast. So listen to how this

150
00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:22,960
guy wants to be. You know, if you think we

151
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:27,360
have a welfare government, now, he wants fair free city

152
00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:34,879
buses so anybody can hop on the bus. And you know,

153
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,399
if you're struggling, the word free sounds great, but there's

154
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:40,320
no such thing as free. Somebody is paying for it.

155
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:46,399
It's coming from somewhere. Right, public childcare. Right. Nothing says

156
00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:50,759
high quality care for your child like public childcare, city

157
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:58,720
owned grocery stores. This is Karl Marx's dream, a rent freeze,

158
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:01,720
which man, And I'll tell you, I am so glad.

159
00:11:01,759 --> 00:11:03,759
I just told my mom this morning. I am so

160
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:10,120
glad I got out of the rent game. We had

161
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:15,120
owned one house that we were unting out, right, Yeah,

162
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:16,639
we sold the other we never rented it. But the

163
00:11:17,039 --> 00:11:20,159
house we had in Colorado for many, many years, we

164
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,720
rented out and it was just one thing after another.

165
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,960
And now to have your house in a Marxist city

166
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:36,039
like this, thirty dollars minimum wage in five years and

167
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,320
the connection. I'm this is not a podcast about this guy,

168
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,639
but just in looking very briefly, he is Obama on

169
00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:49,840
crack and then your other selections. Cuomo, he was a

170
00:11:49,879 --> 00:11:55,120
COVID tyrannist who was never held accountable and all the

171
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,960
allegations against him. And of course, over ten years ago

172
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,559
he signed the New York Safe Act of twenty thirteen,

173
00:12:02,879 --> 00:12:07,360
which brought upon the strictest gun control in the United States.

174
00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:12,200
He delivered Medicaid expansion. And you know that I have

175
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,200
no love for the government being involved in anything that

176
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:27,159
is healthcare, education, right, or helping out the folks. Right.

177
00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:34,480
It's not anytime the government touches something, it screws it up.

178
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,720
You don't want the government involved with that. Right with

179
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:44,480
snap right now, that's got to be done locally. Man,

180
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,399
what a wreck, really, New York. But you know what

181
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,120
they say, The Bible says the love of money is

182
00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:54,240
the root of all evil. And I can't think of

183
00:12:54,279 --> 00:12:57,799
any other city in the world that has a love

184
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,159
for money like the city of New York does. So

185
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,240
they say, you've reap what you saw. And I'm not

186
00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:06,399
saying that there are good people in New York City.

187
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,679
That's far from the truth. We have listeners there, just

188
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,840
like in California. We have tons of listeners there. But

189
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,919
it is really coming to the point where you're going

190
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,440
to have to think outside the box because you are

191
00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:23,799
hours away from being ruled by a tyrant or a

192
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,720
full blown Marxist because apparently the Republican has no shot.

193
00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:31,039
So we'll keep an eye on that, and we'll address

194
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:37,200
this again on Thursday. And I want to say that

195
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:43,000
this podcast again, I just pulled some notes from podcasts

196
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,080
we did before and did a little bit of research.

197
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,639
I was in lectures all day, so this is not

198
00:13:48,759 --> 00:13:51,320
all encompassing, So please don't email me and say you

199
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,120
didn't mention this or that this was done today kind

200
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,279
of on the fly and with some personal reflection as well,

201
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,840
which I think anybody who was affected by nine to eleven,

202
00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:09,320
which is everyone, right, anyone who was in the military certainly,

203
00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:14,559
and all of us over there who saw KBR with

204
00:14:14,919 --> 00:14:22,440
the egregious contracts that they had, it's something Richard Bruce Cheney,

205
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,320
so you know, to the public, to the normies, as

206
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,240
we say, he was just a quiet vice president standing

207
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:35,960
behind George Bush. But the truth is we all know

208
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,600
that he was the one who ran the presidency very

209
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,159
similar to nineteen eighty through eighty eight. Ronald Reagan was

210
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:49,200
the puppet head and Bush, you know, Bush ran everything

211
00:14:49,279 --> 00:14:58,279
for a long time. He ran Clinton. You know. But

212
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,480
if you take the time to do just a little

213
00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:07,759
bit of research and you understand, you know, war profit deception.

214
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,480
He was the engineer. He was the man who built

215
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,840
modern American war state, right what we were warned of,

216
00:15:17,039 --> 00:15:19,440
you know, seventy years ago he brought to light the

217
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:25,360
military industrial complex. And today his death it marks more

218
00:15:25,399 --> 00:15:27,879
than the end of just a politician's life, right, a

219
00:15:27,879 --> 00:15:32,039
little entry in Wikipedia, But to me, it closes the

220
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,559
chapter on a man whose fingerprints are pressed into the

221
00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:39,799
you know, almost every conflict for the last forty five years,

222
00:15:39,879 --> 00:15:45,679
whether it's oil deals, surveillance, the tribunals that followed nine

223
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:51,480
to eleven. You know, I want to take a few

224
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:55,360
moments today. I want to examine Dick Cheney and this

225
00:15:55,559 --> 00:16:00,279
man whose life was driven by greed and it was

226
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,120
cloaked as patriotism. And I've said many times that you

227
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,480
have to be careful with that word, because patriotism can

228
00:16:09,159 --> 00:16:11,519
lower the veil over your eyes and keep you from

229
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:18,159
seeing what's really going on. Right from the news outlets

230
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,799
in the Wikipedia pages. You know, we're told that he

231
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:30,120
was a master of foreign policy, but he was anything

232
00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:35,559
but he was. You know, we'll connect the dots from

233
00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:39,879
Dresser Industries to Halliburton. He was on the CFR, the

234
00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:45,919
American Enterprise Institute. He was what was at the Jewish

235
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:51,000
Institute for National Security of America, which you know the

236
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,240
number one contractor is in Israel. If you pull the

237
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:58,720
nine ninety, we'll talk about Nayira al Sabah, right, the lie,

238
00:16:59,039 --> 00:17:03,039
how they sold the golf for how his company KBR

239
00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:09,160
cashed in billions upon billions, and the Patriot Act, and

240
00:17:09,279 --> 00:17:12,680
on and on and on. By the way, he was

241
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:18,240
a Vietnam darger with other priorities. Meanwhile, he sent countless

242
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:25,359
young Americans to die on foreign soil. Like so many

243
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,680
other politicians, Chinese empire was built on deception, and his

244
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:37,319
power really rested on on a spot that few people

245
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,640
dared to confront him. Very few people in DC had

246
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,440
the you know what, the cajoles to confront him. And

247
00:17:46,039 --> 00:17:49,359
to him, war was business, and that is to a

248
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,480
lot of people, whether you're honeywell Rockwell and he went

249
00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:59,160
in the military industrial complex. Right, So we'll do a

250
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,519
real quick back ground. He grew up in Casper, Wyoming,

251
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:09,640
a beautiful part of the country, right on the front.

252
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,160
Like most politicians, he was spoken, he was polite, but

253
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:20,480
he was very calculating. Cheney's early years told the story

254
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:25,200
of a man who wanted power but not responsibility. So

255
00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:29,319
he attended Yale on scholarship. But he flunked out not

256
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,039
once but twice, which is interesting because you think he'd

257
00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:36,960
stick it out and become scrolling key or skull and bones,

258
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,240
but he didn't make it. It's interesting that the future most

259
00:18:41,279 --> 00:18:44,759
powerful vice president in American history, that's what many people

260
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:50,480
call him, couldn't handle the classroom. Between nineteen sixty two

261
00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:53,839
and nineteen sixty six, he was arrested not once but

262
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,440
twice for dwy one of the many incidents that revealed

263
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,920
a pattern of entitled like the Kennedy's right without consequence.

264
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,759
He was a man who learned early that connections could

265
00:19:05,759 --> 00:19:12,359
erase mistakes, and when his generation, when his peers were

266
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,680
called to Vietnam, he famously said, I had other priorities

267
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,400
in the sixties than military service. He had not one

268
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:26,599
not two, not three, not four, but five drafted deferments

269
00:19:27,079 --> 00:19:31,160
that kept him from the jungles of Southeast Asia. Yet

270
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,640
he would later in life send young men by the

271
00:19:34,759 --> 00:19:39,640
thousands into harm's way. You know, it's the irony that

272
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,240
we come to expect out of Washington, d C. Right,

273
00:19:43,599 --> 00:19:47,680
another armchair general who never wore the uniform. And I

274
00:19:47,759 --> 00:19:50,920
always say, men in suits have been killing men in

275
00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:58,880
uniforms for millennia. After graduate studies at the University of Wyoming,

276
00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:04,680
Cheney's police assent began under Donald Rumsfeld, who would have

277
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,240
guessed it. And that was during the Nixon and Ford

278
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:14,400
administrations of the mid seventies, and Rumsfeld became mentor Chaney

279
00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:18,039
was the apprentice, and together they helped pioneer the art

280
00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:22,799
of the bureaucratic coup. So Chaney learned the power of

281
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:28,039
information control, mastering how to move unseen through the levers

282
00:20:28,079 --> 00:20:32,799
of federal power. So here we are the mid seventies.

283
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:37,359
It's nineteen seventy five, thirty four years old. Cheney becomes

284
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,799
the White House Chief of Staff for Gerald Ford. He

285
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,079
was one of the youngest to ever hold that position.

286
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,359
While doing that, he learned that real authority wasn't found

287
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:54,039
in elections or speeches, but in procedure, in access, and

288
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:59,480
in who you know. He developed the technocrats creed you

289
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:04,880
know what that is, manipulate the system without appearing in

290
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,440
the headlines. Now, how many people have we done podcasts

291
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,680
on over the last almost six years who fit that description.

292
00:21:14,559 --> 00:21:17,720
Over the next decade, he honed his influence as a

293
00:21:17,799 --> 00:21:21,319
congressman from Wyoming for ten years from seventy nine to

294
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:26,480
eighty nine. That's where he weaseled his way into intelligence

295
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:32,400
and defense committees, and Cheney built a reputation as being

296
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,799
a hawk. Right he was opposing sanctions to apartheid South Africa,

297
00:21:39,079 --> 00:21:42,880
dismissing war crimes, accountability in Latin America. Of course he

298
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:48,119
would do that later in life as well. And then,

299
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,880
of course in eighty nine, George H. W. Bush Poppy

300
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,039
tapped him to become Secretary of Defense in eighty nine.

301
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,400
So now Cheney hid made his way into the command

302
00:22:02,519 --> 00:22:04,880
room for real. He was in there physically, he was

303
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,359
running things. But the timing was really ironic because the

304
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,640
Cold War was ending, but Cheney would make sure that

305
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:20,440
the war machine would keep running. So one operation we

306
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,240
probably have never talked about on this podcast, maybe I've

307
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:27,079
mentioned it on the radio show before, but he oversaw

308
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,880
Operation Just Cause in Panama, and then of course we

309
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,799
know about Desert Storm in Iraq. But what these did

310
00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:41,119
was they set precedents for future interventions built on partial

311
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:46,319
truths and media management. Right. They did that to a

312
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:52,039
certain extent in Korea and Vietnam. But they learned how

313
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:56,519
to take the media and manipulate our emotions just enough

314
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,359
to get us to send our loved ones off to

315
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,839
these wars. So by the nineteen nineties, Cheney's not just

316
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,480
a public servant now he is a war technocrat. He

317
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:14,880
understood that conflict could be engineered, it could be managed,

318
00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:20,039
and it could be monetized. And he didn't want any

319
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,039
medals or applause. He was happy doing this from the

320
00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:27,480
back rooms, pulling the levers because as long as that

321
00:23:27,559 --> 00:23:31,640
cash was coming in, he didn't care. But you have

322
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,839
to remember that scripture warns us of men like this.

323
00:23:35,559 --> 00:23:39,200
Psalm's fifty eighty three says the wicked are estranged from

324
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,640
the womb. They go astray as soon as they are born,

325
00:23:43,279 --> 00:23:47,920
speaking lives, And many of these, you know, federal politicians

326
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,519
we see today very much in line with that scripture.

327
00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:56,400
You know, here's a guy who flunked out of Yale,

328
00:23:56,759 --> 00:24:02,279
made his way to the head of the Pentagon, and

329
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,880
it was all calculated. He was no soldier, He wasn't

330
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,480
a statesman. He certainly was not a patriot in the

331
00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:17,319
classical sense right as people look upon say Washington and

332
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:23,119
the folks who actually fought. He was a manager of

333
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:28,559
an empire. He learned how to take bureaucracy and make

334
00:24:28,599 --> 00:24:33,119
it into a weapon. So I'll talk briefly about Just Cause,

335
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,519
because I think it deserves a mention. I don't think

336
00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:40,240
we've ever done a deep dive on it. So it's

337
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,200
the winner of eighty nine. I think he'd been on

338
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:45,480
the job as the second Deaf for five months or

339
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,400
so when he got a chance to test his playbook,

340
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,759
and that was Operation just Cause. That was the US

341
00:24:51,799 --> 00:24:55,519
invasion of Panama. I think. Wasn't that shoegate? Or am

342
00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:59,359
I thinking of something else? The first Lady of Panama

343
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,319
had like that, thousands of shoes. That was the propaganda

344
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:09,839
they were pushing. Pardon me, but again, this is another

345
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,599
one of those things they told the public. It's a

346
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,160
noble mission to capture a crazy dictator and restore democracy.

347
00:25:17,599 --> 00:25:19,559
And you'll hear that over and over and over the

348
00:25:19,599 --> 00:25:22,319
following thirty years. But what that was, it was really

349
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:28,000
a test run for this corporate military machine that Chenney

350
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:34,599
would perfect in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now, the official story

351
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,839
claimed that Manuel Noriega, and again I'm not saying he

352
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,400
was an angel. I'm not a Panamanian historian. We actually

353
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,160
have a few listeners there that'll probably read me up.

354
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:51,000
But here's the thing. He was a CIA asset. Of course,

355
00:25:51,319 --> 00:25:56,160
that's what we do. Hussein was a CIA asset, right.

356
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:02,359
Of course, Osama bin Laden he was a CIA asset,

357
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,920
you know, Colonel Tim Osman, right, And that's what they

358
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,519
do when they're done with you, they sell you out.

359
00:26:08,039 --> 00:26:10,359
I mean they throw you out the window going seventy

360
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,559
five miles an hour. They used him to traffic drugs.

361
00:26:16,039 --> 00:26:19,599
You know, they said he was threatening US citizens and

362
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,240
defying Washington. But what they didn't tell you in the

363
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:28,759
news was that Noriega had served US intelligence loyalty for many,

364
00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:35,720
many years. And again, they tolerate these people's corruption. And

365
00:26:35,759 --> 00:26:39,039
again I say that because everybody in DC is corrupted,

366
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,240
but they, being the bigger hand in the fight, will

367
00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:47,079
tolerate corruption. As long as they play ball. Right, when

368
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,640
he stepped out of line, you had Cheney and hw

369
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:56,480
Bush right, and both of these guys, big time intelligence guys. Right,

370
00:26:57,759 --> 00:27:00,720
they flipped the script, just like they did with Saddam.

371
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:01,079
Speaker 4: Right.

372
00:27:01,319 --> 00:27:05,279
Speaker 1: Oh, sure, Saddam. They're slant trilling. Hey, what happens between

373
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,359
you and Kuwait? That's between you, Tu. We're over here,

374
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,160
you know, we're focused on the economy, and you know,

375
00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:16,400
and then what happens August second happens and George Bush

376
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,640
stands in front of the world and says, how evil

377
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,799
he is. You know, some of us forget how big

378
00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:29,880
Panama was. In eighty nine, nearly twenty seven thousand American

379
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:36,319
troops stormed Panama the Christmas of eighty nine. The operation

380
00:27:36,519 --> 00:27:40,559
flattened working class neighborhoods like El Charillo. And depending on

381
00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:45,079
the reports, the low side is five hundred. I've seen

382
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,759
numbers as high as three or four thousand. Again, that's

383
00:27:49,839 --> 00:27:51,680
up to you to do the research and what for

384
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,920
you to decide who you believe. Of course, the US

385
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,119
government called the invasion surgical. Now, if you ask the

386
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:05,279
Panamanian Red Cross, they will tell you it was a massacre. Cheney, however,

387
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:12,880
called it success. Now at this point, you know, rolling

388
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,119
into nineteen ninety, the media is controlled, The mocking mirrored

389
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,480
media is in place. They followed the Pentagon's narrative. Reporters

390
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,039
were very restricted. American viewers saw the war as clean

391
00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:34,640
as precise, a dictator toppled, democracy restored, and freedom triumphant.

392
00:28:35,279 --> 00:28:38,839
What most people didn't see were the charred remains of

393
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,759
apartment blocks, the mass graves that were hurriedly dug outside

394
00:28:43,839 --> 00:28:48,920
Panama City, and Cheney and company learned the lesson, Well,

395
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,599
if you control the story, if you control the narrative,

396
00:28:53,119 --> 00:28:55,640
you are able to control the conscious of a nation.

397
00:28:57,559 --> 00:29:01,400
But like everything else, operations just caused wasn't only about

398
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:07,480
regime change. It was about infrastructure, and it was about contracts.

399
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,799
And let me tell you, folks, Cheney was all about

400
00:29:09,799 --> 00:29:13,000
the contracts. If you're in the private world, then you

401
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:16,720
can lock up billion dollar contracts with the government. That's

402
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,759
what he was all about. And how nobody called bs

403
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:28,960
on KBR during these wars is beyond me. So in

404
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,880
the wake of the invasion, Halliburton's engineering subsidiary Brown and

405
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,839
Root which later became KBR, and anybody who was in

406
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:42,240
Iraq where Afghanistan. I assume too knows exactly who KBR is. Right.

407
00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:48,200
They provided the showers, they provided the chow halls, they

408
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:53,680
had all those contracts. They were logistics, they were construction.

409
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,599
If you needed a crane, if you needed to move

410
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,240
tea walls, they had the contract. So these Pentagon quietly

411
00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:05,759
opened the door for private firms to profit from military operations.

412
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,119
And I can assure you as an engineer, we had

413
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:14,480
most of those assets. But they knew that the deployment

414
00:30:14,559 --> 00:30:17,599
rate coming ahead, that they would wear out the soldiers

415
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:20,039
and they'd roll out even though for some I mean

416
00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:22,839
I stood in and I did you know four year

417
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,680
you know, three one year tours and one fifteen month tour.

418
00:30:28,519 --> 00:30:35,279
But you know, when it came to logistics, we handled

419
00:30:35,319 --> 00:30:43,079
some of it, but KBR had a huge role and profited.

420
00:30:43,559 --> 00:30:52,039
Just mind numbly numbers. It's just a fusion of policy

421
00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:57,200
and profit is really what it was. And you know,

422
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:04,960
in reflecting, Panama set the precedent, so what was short

423
00:31:05,359 --> 00:31:12,319
War's actual conflict with long term rebuilds and infrastructure change

424
00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:17,119
and putting in American contractors. And they also taught Washington

425
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:22,880
how to manipulate public morality through television and newspaper and

426
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:29,079
controlling the reporters right. And I tried briefly to find

427
00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:32,519
this audio clip, but I didn't have a lot of

428
00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:36,119
time today because the technology the technology issues I was having.

429
00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:39,319
But there was a point when a reporter asked Cheney

430
00:31:39,359 --> 00:31:43,759
about civilian casualties and Panama and he said, I have

431
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,160
no idea what the numbers are, and I don't care.

432
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:56,759
You know that really take politics aside. You know, we're

433
00:31:56,799 --> 00:31:59,519
supposed to be a country that's based on innocent until

434
00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:05,880
proving guilty, and you don't care about, you know, those

435
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,519
who were in harm's way, who had nothing to do,

436
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:15,480
even if you believe the official narrative. That's that's something evil,

437
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,559
it really is. Now we'll touch on desert storm. I've

438
00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:21,480
touched on this an awful lot, so I won't beat

439
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,079
it to death, but it's part of the story. So

440
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:32,599
Operations just cause prove that again he could control the media.

441
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:38,519
So the next theater would really transform him from a

442
00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:43,680
simple bureaucrat into a world really a ward power broker.

443
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:52,920
So again August second, nineteen ninety, Iraq invaded Kuwait. Cheney

444
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,319
in his circle really saw a known opportunity. They knew

445
00:32:57,319 --> 00:33:01,359
it was coming. That they framed Hussein right, who again

446
00:33:02,079 --> 00:33:06,160
was an ally during the Iran Iraq war. Right, and

447
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,160
again they framed him as the new Hitler. He was

448
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,519
threatening the oil lifeline of the free world. Right. When

449
00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:16,160
you tell America whose dollars based on the petro dollar

450
00:33:17,079 --> 00:33:18,960
that you could be looking at, you know, seven or

451
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:24,640
eight dollars a gallon gas. People care about their pocketbook.

452
00:33:26,079 --> 00:33:29,519
And the Bush administration, along with Chaney, started flooding the

453
00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:33,920
airwaves with propaganda. And that's what intelligence people do, not

454
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:40,400
intelligent intelligence, right, Formacia guy. But what the public did

455
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,839
not see was that Cheney and the Pentagon had already

456
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:49,519
drawn up scenarios for the Middle East much much prior

457
00:33:50,039 --> 00:33:57,559
to August second. Right, they didn't get the emotional investment

458
00:33:57,799 --> 00:34:02,200
that they wanted. But the trigger came through the tearful

459
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:05,640
teenage girl named Naira al Sabah. I've played her audio

460
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,759
hundreds of times. I'm not going to beat a dead

461
00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:11,800
horse there, but she testified before Congress that Iraqi soldiers

462
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,880
had stormed Kuwaiti hospitals and ripped babies out of incubators. Right,

463
00:34:17,079 --> 00:34:23,159
and everybody watching was shocked. They were horrified, Right, but

464
00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:27,159
the entire story was false. She was the daughter of

465
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:30,559
the Kuwaiti ambassador of the United States. She was coached

466
00:34:30,559 --> 00:34:34,920
by the public relations firms Hill and Knowlton in a

467
00:34:35,079 --> 00:34:40,760
ten million dollar campaign that was orchestrated by the Kuwaiti government.

468
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:49,280
And when the story broke about Naira al Sabah and

469
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,199
the lie, when the truth came out, and I think

470
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:54,599
it was October of ninety two, so it was about

471
00:34:54,599 --> 00:34:58,119
a year and change after. You know, most people came

472
00:34:58,159 --> 00:35:01,840
home from Desert Storm. A lot of people were extremely upset,

473
00:35:02,079 --> 00:35:06,039
including my father, because that was one of the events

474
00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:08,280
that he saw on TV that was you know, let's go,

475
00:35:08,679 --> 00:35:17,079
let's go the horrible human beings. And you know, like

476
00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:19,280
everyone else, the public was seething when we heard that

477
00:35:20,159 --> 00:35:25,639
young girl played us crying. They were ripping babies from incubators.

478
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,960
Oh my gosh. Everybody was like, you know, General Schwarps cough,

479
00:35:31,119 --> 00:35:35,280
please take care of these animals. Right. So they launched

480
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,559
a desert storm in January of ninety one. It was

481
00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:41,360
a spectacle. It was the first real war made for TV. Right,

482
00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:47,960
the smart bombs on CNN, the precision strikes, right, and man,

483
00:35:48,159 --> 00:35:52,719
you want to talk about patriotism. I remember coming home,

484
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,679
I landed at Dover Air Force Base and I got

485
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:01,119
in the car and like every tree I don't remember,

486
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:03,559
must have been Route thirteen, I had a yellow ribbon

487
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:07,159
on it, right for that old song tie yellow ribbons

488
00:36:07,199 --> 00:36:11,599
on the old oak tree. But I mean, patriotism was

489
00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:15,960
at an all time high. Like Whitney Houston singing the

490
00:36:16,079 --> 00:36:23,119
national anthem at the Super Bowl. Very memorable moment. But

491
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,679
you know, in six weeks, Iraq's military was crushed. But

492
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:31,119
you know what else was crushed, right the truth. The

493
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:34,239
Pentagon refused to release civilian death tolls, and even if

494
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,320
they did, you know it would be lies. Again, do

495
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:42,559
your own research. The low range about twenty five thousand.

496
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,440
I've seen some as high as one hundred thousand. My

497
00:36:46,559 --> 00:36:49,360
dad was at that bridge where they took out the

498
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,719
front side of the bridge, the backside of the bridge,

499
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:56,599
and then they were all sitting ducks, the Highway of Death,

500
00:36:56,639 --> 00:37:00,960
I think it was called. And then we were treating soldiers.

501
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:08,599
But behind all of that you had Haliburton's KBR securing

502
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:14,480
and I mean lucrative contracts for construction and logistics in

503
00:37:14,519 --> 00:37:19,960
the Persian golf. So here's the thing, taking all the

504
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,559
emotion aside. The business of war was no longer incidental

505
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,760
or defense. It was the mission itself. And for those

506
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:34,239
of you who still don't understand the meaning before or

507
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,119
the meaning of I should say Trump renaming the Department

508
00:37:38,159 --> 00:37:41,360
of Defense to the Department of War. You truly don't

509
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,159
get what this country is about. Where's a business here?

510
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,599
War is what gives us fifty five inch flat screen

511
00:37:48,679 --> 00:37:52,519
TVs and New f one fifties and thirty two hundred

512
00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:55,840
square feet house. I understand not everyone has those things, right,

513
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,880
but I'm saying if you've traveled the world, you under

514
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:05,760
stand that even in these times of you know, hardship,

515
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,280
many people still have it much better than people around

516
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:14,000
the world. And it's because of how we operate. And

517
00:38:14,039 --> 00:38:17,199
again I am if you've turned into the fact hunner

518
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,039
for the first time. No, I'm not some crazed progressive liberal,

519
00:38:22,159 --> 00:38:26,800
never voted democrat in my life, old school conservative right.

520
00:38:28,159 --> 00:38:31,079
But you know, when you start to get older and

521
00:38:31,079 --> 00:38:33,320
you start to see the truth and you realize the

522
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,199
left wing and the right wing belong to the same

523
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:41,280
corrupt bird, it is your duty, it is your obligation, right,

524
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,679
especially if you follow christ to speak the truth, no

525
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,320
matter if it goes against your traditions. And for many

526
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:55,760
of us, right those old school conservative politics that they

527
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,119
start to conflict when you see the truth, and then

528
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,960
over time they just fade away because really, like everything else,

529
00:39:03,039 --> 00:39:07,079
like sports, there were a distraction, really the federal right.

530
00:39:07,159 --> 00:39:12,079
That's what I'm talking about. When reporters question the morality

531
00:39:12,079 --> 00:39:16,519
of destroying the retreating troops, Cheney responded, if I had

532
00:39:16,519 --> 00:39:20,239
to do it over again, I'd do it the same way.

533
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:25,199
That was really callous pragmatism, but that was his trademark.

534
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,000
The Golf War also tested another emerging weapon, and I

535
00:39:32,159 --> 00:39:36,920
venture to say it is the most dangerous weapon today.

536
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:42,280
It's not moabs, it's not nuclear missiles. But we saw

537
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,440
how powerful this weapon was five years ago. And that

538
00:39:46,599 --> 00:39:51,800
is control of the media. During the Golf War, the

539
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,079
military restricted journalists and their access, and they filtered every briefing.

540
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:01,280
By managing the optics, Cheney turned destruction into theater. And

541
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,159
what they do is they use graphics and slogans and

542
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:09,599
victory parades. Right, the networks actually became extensions of the

543
00:40:09,639 --> 00:40:16,000
Pentagon Press office, like a video game. So now they

544
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:24,840
had finally formulated this blueprint for the twenty first century deception.

545
00:40:25,199 --> 00:40:28,400
It was setting the course for things to come right.

546
00:40:29,039 --> 00:40:33,920
It's a moral theater of good versus evil, right, and

547
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,280
by that they can justify any act, any law, any profit,

548
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,679
as long as the flag covered the bill. And Cheney

549
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:46,480
learned that Americans would tolerate endless wars as long as

550
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,440
they could watch it from the comfort of their own

551
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:54,480
living rooms. Right. Proverb says a fault witness shall not

552
00:40:54,559 --> 00:40:59,400
be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

553
00:40:59,559 --> 00:41:02,760
And that really exposes the false narrative that these people

554
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:08,280
were involved in. And the thing I think people miss

555
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,360
about Desert Storm, it just wasn't a war. It was

556
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:18,159
the first real marketing campaign for perpetual conflict. Now, obviously

557
00:41:18,199 --> 00:41:22,079
people got tired of Iraq and Afghanistan, but I can

558
00:41:22,119 --> 00:41:25,400
assure you those old enough remembered. And I preached on

559
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,719
this last Sunday in my sermon when I talked about

560
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:36,239
John MacArthur's book and God Bless America. Rarely do Americans,

561
00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:40,079
you know, stay close to God during the good times, right,

562
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,159
But it's in those times of trial when people look

563
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:54,960
up to God. I want to get into Halliburton really

564
00:41:55,039 --> 00:42:02,480
quick I have about thirty more minutes. So after Desert Storm,

565
00:42:03,119 --> 00:42:08,079
Cheney did what very few secretaries had done defense secretaries.

566
00:42:09,599 --> 00:42:13,679
He walked straight out of the Pentagon into the boardroom,

567
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,840
and in nineteen ninety five he became the CEO of Aliburton,

568
00:42:18,159 --> 00:42:22,440
one of the largest oil field service companies in the world.

569
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,840
This was not a retirement from public life. He was

570
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:31,239
simply a transfer of power from political to corporate. And

571
00:42:31,639 --> 00:42:35,960
understand that Halliburton was no ordinary energy company. Through its

572
00:42:36,079 --> 00:42:43,519
massive engineering subsidiary KBR, it held decades of military contracts.

573
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:48,199
They built bases, pipelines, they had most of the contracts

574
00:42:48,199 --> 00:42:53,559
for the logistic networks, and basically every conflict since Vietnam.

575
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,679
And now that Cheney had a job that gave him

576
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:02,000
control over a legitimate empire that straddles the line between

577
00:43:02,039 --> 00:43:05,880
government and private industry. I mean, there was no one

578
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:11,599
better suited to exploit that boundary, right. And if you

579
00:43:11,679 --> 00:43:18,880
go back and study Halliburton from the mid nineties, in

580
00:43:19,079 --> 00:43:23,199
just a few years, Halliburton's revenues rose by thirty percent.

581
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,360
And when you're talking billions of dollars, thirty percent of billion,

582
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:33,679
that is a huge, huge raise of income. And they

583
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:38,480
started getting into listen to all these places Nigeria, right,

584
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,920
Trump saying he's talking about going into Nigeria. Now, Saudi Arabia,

585
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,960
we've been there since ninety That was an excuse to

586
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,599
get us a ninety desert storm Iran in Iraq. We

587
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,800
will be in Iran in our lifetime without a doubt.

588
00:43:56,599 --> 00:43:58,800
So what Chaney did was, with all the connections he

589
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,599
made during his time as the Secretary of Defense, he leveraged,

590
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,400
you know, his weight, and made connections to secure billions

591
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:13,360
in government contracts and especially through the Army's log CAP.

592
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,960
And I spent a lot of time in log CAP.

593
00:44:17,559 --> 00:44:24,599
That was the Army's logistic Civil Augmentation program that was

594
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,079
so basically KBR became the military's go to whether it

595
00:44:30,159 --> 00:44:39,519
was building bases, barracks, housing, running supply chains. Man. I mean,

596
00:44:39,559 --> 00:44:44,400
they had it all. But you know, Cheney's never been

597
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,159
the kind of guy who just settled for things. So

598
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,760
nineteen ninety eight, Haliburton acquired Dresser Industries. Now, if that

599
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,920
rings a bell, it should. That was a Texas based

600
00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:02,760
oil company once run by Prescott Bush, the grandfather of

601
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,320
George W. Bush. That's the part that doesn't get talked

602
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,800
about enough. Right, everybody knows the connection between Cheney and KBR,

603
00:45:11,199 --> 00:45:16,159
but most people forget Dresser Industries and the connection to

604
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:21,360
the Bush family and that man. That merger created a

605
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:29,320
twenty five billion dollar behemoth, but it also brought in

606
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:34,280
some interesting times. Right. There were several Dresser executives and

607
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:40,480
hear me for a minute, listen closely. Several Dresser executives

608
00:45:40,519 --> 00:45:47,719
accused Halliburton of accounting irregularities and really shady bookkeeping, right,

609
00:45:48,679 --> 00:45:56,599
and they warned that Cheney's leadership prioritize growth at any cost.

610
00:45:58,079 --> 00:46:01,440
There was one senior executative that called the merger a

611
00:46:01,519 --> 00:46:07,320
corporate shotgun wedding with no prina. Now again, this was

612
00:46:07,639 --> 00:46:10,800
nineteen ninety eight. Three years later was nine to eleven.

613
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,800
I tell you once, I tell you one hundred times.

614
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,679
One of the reasons nine to eleven had to happen

615
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,800
was to destroy evidence that had to do with Enron,

616
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,599
that had to do with Halliburton, that had to do

617
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:33,480
with Dresser Industries, on and on and on. Even in

618
00:46:33,559 --> 00:46:37,840
December twenty ten, after the housing crisis, the Nigerian government

619
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:42,519
of all people, Right, look, a lot of the scammers

620
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,840
come from Nigeria. Let's just say what it is right,

621
00:46:45,039 --> 00:46:47,440
not saying every person in Nigeria is a bad person,

622
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,320
but it is known if you look at the most

623
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,239
corrupt countries in the world, they're up there. But for

624
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:59,639
Nigeria to file a corruption and bribery complaint against Haliburton

625
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:05,760
for one hundred and eighty million dollar bribe and again, listen,

626
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,239
I'm not bashing on Nigeria. There's a lot of great

627
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,320
Christians down there. They're being persecuted right now. But the

628
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:17,800
government is known as one of the most shady and

629
00:47:18,039 --> 00:47:26,800
they're naming Cheney personally, not Halliburton personally. Massive one hundred

630
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:32,320
and eighty million dollar bribes to secure liquefied natural gas contracts.

631
00:47:33,199 --> 00:47:36,400
Haliburton settled the case for a quarter of a billion dollars,

632
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:41,159
but of course their lawyers are able to say, you know,

633
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,679
we'll pay this without admitting guilt, which means that we're guilty.

634
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,800
Why would you pay a quarter of a billion dollars

635
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,559
if you were not guilty? You know, at that time

636
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:55,199
it was one of the largest foreign bribery settlements in history.

637
00:47:55,679 --> 00:48:00,840
But like every other one of these slime balls that

638
00:48:01,039 --> 00:48:08,000
have taken our country and were able to prosper personally,

639
00:48:09,639 --> 00:48:17,559
and they all walk away untouched, whether it's Obama, Clinton, Bush, Cheney, Bush,

640
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,800
you know, Poppy Bush, all of them, every last one

641
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:28,360
of them, certainly the bidens. Right. So while Cheney was there,

642
00:48:28,519 --> 00:48:34,440
his compensation topped forty four million dollars. But that doesn't

643
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:39,920
even take into consideration his deferred salary and stock options.

644
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:46,239
I mean, it was crazy. Remember their motto, then, I

645
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:51,920
shouldn't say their modo, their philosophy privatize everything, conceal accountability,

646
00:48:52,199 --> 00:48:57,360
and monetize chaos. So when that next chaos arrived nine

647
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:04,679
to eleven, Corporate was perfectly positioned to feed on reconstruction,

648
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:12,360
logistics and oil infrastructure. Right. But the next chapter would

649
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:16,199
reveal really his ambitions, and it was a plan written

650
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,360
years before in the documents of PENAC Project for New

651
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,119
American Century.

652
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 2: Right.

653
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: By the late nineteen nineties, Cheney had transcended the usual

654
00:49:26,559 --> 00:49:31,800
brown boundaries of politics and business. He's now operating in

655
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,119
the realm of ideology, the place where wars are planned.

656
00:49:35,159 --> 00:49:40,239
Long before the first bomb falls, that ideology found its

657
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,679
way home in a Washington think tank called the Project

658
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,880
for a New American Century, or PNAC. It was founded

659
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:52,199
in nineteen ninety seven by William Crystal. Go investigate his

660
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:56,639
wife and Robert Kagan. You know they're all part of

661
00:49:56,679 --> 00:49:59,599
the same Uh maybe it was Kagan's wife, right, the

662
00:49:59,639 --> 00:50:03,280
one of off with Ukraine. My apologize. But Pack was

663
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,280
not just another policy forum, you know when you read that,

664
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:12,320
it's a mission statement for world dominance. And the founding

665
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:21,119
document was entitled Rebuilding Americans Defenses. And Cheney was a signatory.

666
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:26,159
Rumsfell wolf of Witz and Elliott Abrams and all of

667
00:50:26,199 --> 00:50:30,599
those gentlemen. And I say that loosely would soon fill

668
00:50:30,679 --> 00:50:37,920
the ranks within the George W. Bush administration. And when

669
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:42,639
you go back and read these documents, it's I remember

670
00:50:42,679 --> 00:50:45,400
when I years ago, whatever, ten years ago, when I

671
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,320
first found out about Pinak and started looking to nine

672
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:53,440
to eleven truth. It's chilling not to use that word lightly. Right.

673
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,559
It spoke of the need to fight and decisively win

674
00:50:56,679 --> 00:51:02,280
multiple simultaneous major theater wars. But they warned that without

675
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:06,880
a galvanizing event, something like a new Pearl Harbor, the

676
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:11,320
American publican might resist. The American public might resist such

677
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:16,159
an ambitious agenda, And their Pearl Harbor came on September eleventh,

678
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:26,719
two thousand and one right, you could say it's intellectual

679
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:32,599
foundation drew heavy from these foundations like the American Enterprise Institute, which, oh,

680
00:51:32,679 --> 00:51:36,960
by the way, Cheney served as a senior fellow, and

681
00:51:37,159 --> 00:51:40,679
the CFR, the Council on Forvard Relations, which oh, by

682
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:44,440
the way, he held a membership. Right, these think tanks

683
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,679
were all part of it. And what's even more interesting

684
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,719
is his ties to the Jewish Institute for National Security

685
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,320
of America, which, if you sit down and read that

686
00:51:55,360 --> 00:52:01,039
five times, what does that even mean? Right? And basically

687
00:52:01,159 --> 00:52:04,559
it was founded in nineteen seventy six, and it advocates

688
00:52:04,599 --> 00:52:08,880
for a strong US Israel defense relations. But most of

689
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,840
the money goes straight to Israel. And how Israel is

690
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,760
allowed to run all these nonprofits here and APAK and

691
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,199
everything else. It's just beyond me. It is so beyond me.

692
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:29,000
And you know, Cheney, let's face it, Chaney repeatedly pushed

693
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:37,159
for wars that aligned directly with Israel's regional interest, right, Iran, Iraq, Syria. Right,

694
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:43,280
whether intentional or incidental, it created the appearance of a

695
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:48,320
conflict of interest. Right, we're fighting for other countries. And

696
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,199
there's many people who are honestly for a lack of

697
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:55,800
a better statement, just getting tired of it. So I'm

698
00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:00,760
going to move along as as we're getting order on time.

699
00:53:01,079 --> 00:53:03,440
But you know, we couldn't complete it without talking about

700
00:53:04,039 --> 00:53:12,000
nine to eleven and the windfall financially. You know, while

701
00:53:12,039 --> 00:53:15,119
we were all still in shock, I can assure you

702
00:53:15,159 --> 00:53:18,480
that Cheney was going to work on his plan immediately.

703
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,159
He was in the EOC, the President's EOC Emergency Operations

704
00:53:23,159 --> 00:53:25,800
Center beneath the White House, and he basically assumed a

705
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:34,920
facto control of the government's response, and he provided those attacks.

706
00:53:35,039 --> 00:53:37,480
And you know, he was a part I firmly believe

707
00:53:38,119 --> 00:53:40,800
that they knew and was a part of creating what

708
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:46,960
happened on September eleventh. And I've talked about this at nauseum, right,

709
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:54,559
and he took the momentum from the emotions of the

710
00:53:54,559 --> 00:53:56,920
American people who wanted blood, and he ran with it.

711
00:53:57,559 --> 00:54:02,400
And I can assure you that, along with his legal counsel,

712
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:06,599
what was his name, David Addington, that they had much

713
00:54:06,679 --> 00:54:12,400
of the right. People were quick, Yes, we need emergency directives.

714
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,880
Whatever you do, don't let this happen again. So they

715
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,119
said thanks, and within a few weeks they had the

716
00:54:17,119 --> 00:54:20,079
Patriot Act ready to go, which is truly an o

717
00:54:20,199 --> 00:54:24,440
Orwellian piece of legislation that again written largely before nine

718
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,679
to eleven, ever happened, it was ready to go, and

719
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:32,159
that authorized maths, surveillance, secret warrants, and definite intention domestic

720
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:39,960
wire tapping. The very foundations you know that go against.

721
00:54:41,559 --> 00:54:41,599
Speaker 4: You.

722
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,119
Speaker 1: You could say, it's the foundations of what we live

723
00:54:44,159 --> 00:54:47,480
in today, the modern security state, and goes against what

724
00:54:47,599 --> 00:54:51,360
we were supposedly originally, you know, founded upon, for lack

725
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:55,239
of a better words. And again, the deal was you

726
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,039
give up a little bit of your freedom for a

727
00:54:57,039 --> 00:55:02,679
little bit of security. Tru They created an architecture for

728
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:07,840
total information control. They had programs like Stellar Wind we

729
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,159
haven't talked about that too much that allowed the NSA

730
00:55:11,199 --> 00:55:15,800
to monitor millions of Americans communications without court orders. When

731
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:20,599
exposed years later, Cheney's response was again, if we had

732
00:55:20,599 --> 00:55:22,599
to do it again, We'd do it again. That's what

733
00:55:22,679 --> 00:55:26,400
he always says. And another banner of the war on

734
00:55:26,519 --> 00:55:31,360
terror Afghanistan and O one, Iraq and three, and each

735
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:37,639
war conveniently aligned with PENAC doctrine right. And of course

736
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,599
the case for Iraq was the lies about the weapons

737
00:55:41,599 --> 00:55:48,960
of mass destruction, which Cheney personally helped disseminate. Right. You

738
00:55:49,079 --> 00:55:51,440
go back on YouTube, you look at all the Sunday

739
00:55:51,519 --> 00:55:56,440
talk shows that he was citing sourcers and that he

740
00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:01,159
knew were fabricated, right, including the infamous yellow uranium story

741
00:56:01,159 --> 00:56:07,000
from Niger. Just an absolute fraud, a bad human being

742
00:56:10,039 --> 00:56:14,960
who even Kevin was telling me today in an email

743
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:19,920
that he came for something and the coal workers couldn't

744
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,239
even get their three day weekend because of the security

745
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,199
levels that were going on. So even people who weren't

746
00:56:25,199 --> 00:56:27,800
in the military, he had an effect on their lights

747
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,360
as well. But the big thing, and I've mentioned this

748
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,639
a thousand times that doesn't get talked about enough. When

749
00:56:32,679 --> 00:56:35,800
they have these emergencies, whether it's nine to eleven or COVID,

750
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:44,559
they get no bid contracts, no bid contracts. And let

751
00:56:44,559 --> 00:56:47,480
me tell you just in the first year of Iraq,

752
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:54,480
KBR received over seven billion dollars of no bid contracts.

753
00:56:55,000 --> 00:57:01,920
It's absolute insanity. Remember, changing claim to have severed financial

754
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:08,840
ties to Halliburton, but public disclosures revealed ongoing deferred compensation

755
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:13,280
and stock options. He was still getting paid while he

756
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,239
was the Vice president of the United States. He was

757
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,679
profiting from the very wars he helped started, and that

758
00:57:20,119 --> 00:57:23,440
in itself is inherently evil as you can get. I

759
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,920
don't want to hear about any other leader in this world,

760
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:30,320
King John un or anybody else. If you are creating

761
00:57:31,159 --> 00:57:35,679
mass events, mass casualty events to start wars so you

762
00:57:35,719 --> 00:57:38,519
can earn billions of dollars while you're in office, that

763
00:57:38,679 --> 00:57:45,239
is treason. And you know, and everybody just goes on

764
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,480
with the day. Hey, the Cowboys lost last night? How

765
00:57:47,519 --> 00:57:53,679
awesome is that? Right? Who cares? Man? They're sending your

766
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:57,880
children off to die for profit and control, and people

767
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:03,440
just sleep walk through this world man, bunch of zombies. Goodness, gracious,

768
00:58:05,199 --> 00:58:07,360
we haven't even mentioned the overbuilding. I wish I could

769
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,840
talk for two hours tonight. I'm so fired up about this.

770
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:15,199
They had so many overbillings. We caught fraudulent charges. They

771
00:58:15,239 --> 00:58:18,320
were given contracts for equipment we didn't even need, just

772
00:58:18,519 --> 00:58:23,800
ridiculous stuff. They were paying for contaminated water supplies. Thank

773
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,639
God for a rope, you guys. That's for verse osmosis

774
00:58:27,679 --> 00:58:37,840
water purification units our OWPU and even you know, in

775
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,599
many cases they were endangering us. They were cutting corners

776
00:58:41,599 --> 00:58:45,639
and cooking books and the auditors. Of course, in the Pentagon,

777
00:58:45,679 --> 00:58:49,360
their own auditors found billions unaccounted for and they just

778
00:58:49,639 --> 00:58:51,639
write it off. What are you going to do? Right,

779
00:58:52,199 --> 00:58:54,360
just like September tenth, two thousand and one, Oh we're

780
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,000
missing two point three trillion dollars? Oh, what are you

781
00:58:57,039 --> 00:59:01,280
going to do? And you know, by two thousand and six,

782
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:05,639
just five years after nine to eleven, Halliburton's profits had

783
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:13,440
quadrupled and everybody's just going about their day. The war

784
00:59:13,519 --> 00:59:16,719
on terror became a business of terror. And again, if

785
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:22,559
you just have you know, an object is terror, right,

786
00:59:22,639 --> 00:59:26,280
it's not a war against an individual or an entity.

787
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,840
It's just war on terror. You can go on as

788
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,639
long as the people will tolerate it. And we tolerate

789
00:59:31,719 --> 00:59:36,679
this stuff too much. We tolerated Vietnam and all these

790
00:59:36,719 --> 00:59:40,440
other wars that are just fabricated. People need to take

791
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:44,800
their emotions out of the game. I want to skip this.

792
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,480
We've already talked about the CFR. I'm just going over

793
00:59:47,519 --> 00:59:53,360
my notes. You know, we have talked about his connections,

794
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:58,320
whether it was Kissinger, a big new brazen Ski pardon me,

795
00:59:58,519 --> 01:00:05,039
and of course David Rockefeller, right, big one. They were

796
01:00:05,079 --> 01:00:08,199
all part of building the structure, which was, you know,

797
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:13,280
making bad guys, creating conflict, getting people emotionally invested, sending

798
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,840
them off to war while they just make billions and

799
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:28,480
billions of dollars. So, you know, he's really been out

800
01:00:28,519 --> 01:00:30,639
of the public view for some years now. I think

801
01:00:30,679 --> 01:00:32,480
the last time he made the news did he shoot

802
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:38,360
a guy hunting or something. Right, The worst that he

803
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:44,440
helped design really left a trail of destruction. They stretched

804
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:50,800
from Baghdad to Kabul. The balance sheets of the Pentagon

805
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:55,519
and the American taxpayers, and of course, you know, lest

806
01:00:55,559 --> 01:01:01,840
we forget the grieving families across America and the country's affected.

807
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:08,320
The human toll was staggering. And again this is just

808
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,039
the American side. You know, you had over forty five

809
01:01:11,119 --> 01:01:15,559
hundred soldiers died in Iraq, and what we don't talk

810
01:01:15,559 --> 01:01:17,840
about enough. And Veterans Day is next week and I'm

811
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,840
not out here to garner a thank you or I

812
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:26,480
volunteered thank someone who was drafted. But we don't talk

813
01:01:26,519 --> 01:01:29,360
about the people who came back and suffered from their PTSD,

814
01:01:29,519 --> 01:01:33,760
saw things that they couldn't handle. In the military during

815
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,000
that time, you either deployed or they kicked you out,

816
01:01:36,559 --> 01:01:40,719
and people couldn't handle it, and a lot of my

817
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:46,480
friends took their lives, some intentionally, some unintentionally through alcohol,

818
01:01:46,599 --> 01:01:54,320
poisoning and other things. But that doesn't get talked about enough. Right.

819
01:01:54,559 --> 01:01:59,719
Just Iraq, forty five hundred KIA over thirty thousand returned

820
01:01:59,719 --> 01:02:04,239
wound in Afghanistan. Another twenty four hundred troops were lost, right,

821
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:11,079
But again the civilian costs. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi

822
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:17,599
Afghans right, caught in the crossfire. You know, we see

823
01:02:17,719 --> 01:02:22,599
entire societies shredded in the name of freedom. But as

824
01:02:22,679 --> 01:02:27,960
I mentioned with a snap, right, the biggest recipients percentage

825
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:32,239
wise are Afghans and Iraqis. We continue because of the displacements.

826
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:36,880
To be I don't want to say, you know, we

827
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,960
created the problem, we bring them over, but the fact

828
01:02:41,039 --> 01:02:43,039
is many of them are not working, and we have

829
01:02:43,119 --> 01:02:47,079
to provide for them through tax dollars, and that doesn't

830
01:02:47,079 --> 01:02:50,840
even cast you know, what the wars cost us. And

831
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,480
again the estimates, and I really think these are way low,

832
01:02:56,199 --> 01:02:58,599
but they say the war on Terror was somewhere around

833
01:02:58,599 --> 01:03:06,079
eight trillion dollars. That's twenty percent of our current debt

834
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,960
thirty eight trillion. But again I think that's extremely low.

835
01:03:10,599 --> 01:03:13,280
Much of that went to Halliburton and Dick Cheney's people.

836
01:03:15,159 --> 01:03:18,400
But I think the greatest casualty was the constitution itself,

837
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,119
if you still have belief in it. Again, if you're

838
01:03:20,119 --> 01:03:22,199
going to have a constitution, that's a contract between a

839
01:03:22,239 --> 01:03:24,400
government and its people, and I don't believe that this

840
01:03:24,639 --> 01:03:28,599
government has abided by that in a long long time.

841
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:30,559
I'm not here to be a negative Nancy. I'm just

842
01:03:30,559 --> 01:03:36,719
a realist. Right. Cheney's post nine to eleven security apparatus

843
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:42,159
normalized warrantless surveillance, secret prisons, indefinite detention, which we saw

844
01:03:42,159 --> 01:03:47,840
in COVID. Right people didn't champion that the Patriot Act

845
01:03:48,519 --> 01:03:53,480
nsa stellar win program, the expansion of FISA courts, they

846
01:03:53,519 --> 01:03:56,360
all became permanent fixtures. We're still talking about this stuff today.

847
01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:03,000
All in the name of safety. We forfeited liberty, and

848
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:08,800
if we believe everything, what our founders feared was a

849
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:14,519
security state managed by unelected technocrats. And even after he

850
01:04:14,599 --> 01:04:22,000
left office, he never expressed remorse. Every time he was

851
01:04:22,039 --> 01:04:26,800
confronted about something, even about torture, he said, I'd do

852
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:31,360
it again in a minute. When asked about faulty intelligence,

853
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,880
when having to do with weapons of mass destruction in Iraq,

854
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:41,800
He said, so what. He had no moral compass whatsoever.

855
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,559
All he cared about that the corporations under his watch,

856
01:04:47,599 --> 01:04:53,480
whether it be Haliburton, Lockheed, Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, as long

857
01:04:53,519 --> 01:04:55,840
as they continue to feast on the same model, and

858
01:04:55,880 --> 01:05:03,840
that is perpetual war sold his perpetual defense. Cheney's revolving

859
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,320
door between government and business didn't close when he left.

860
01:05:07,559 --> 01:05:12,000
It just simply became the template for generations to come.

861
01:05:15,679 --> 01:05:18,760
And you know, he lived out his days comfortable, rich.

862
01:05:20,119 --> 01:05:23,840
And you know, I'm not here to say where his

863
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:27,519
soul is right now. Only he and the Good Lord

864
01:05:27,719 --> 01:05:38,519
know that. But look, you know, the empire that he built,

865
01:05:39,559 --> 01:05:44,519
the empire he helped build, will not stand forever. But

866
01:05:44,639 --> 01:05:47,800
please know that the Kingdom of God will. Okay. The

867
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:53,480
lesson for you all is this, don't envy the power

868
01:05:53,519 --> 01:05:57,400
of the wicked. Don't chase dollar. If you're successful and

869
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,960
you work hard, you do it right. God bless you

870
01:06:00,119 --> 01:06:03,119
if you're successful. But the love of money is the

871
01:06:03,159 --> 01:06:06,760
root of all evil. But don't envy the power of

872
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:12,280
the wicked. It is fleeting. Stand firm in the truth,

873
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:17,079
as we always do because the truth is eternal, and

874
01:06:17,199 --> 01:06:19,960
Jesus is the Way and the Truth and the life.

875
01:06:20,159 --> 01:06:22,559
God bless each and every one of you. And again

876
01:06:22,719 --> 01:06:25,719
this was kind of on the run. I saw the

877
01:06:25,719 --> 01:06:29,599
news this morning and I felt it needed to be mentioned.

878
01:06:29,679 --> 01:06:32,679
And again, this is not all encompassing. I had a

879
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:36,519
lot of notes I left out for time. I'm about

880
01:06:36,519 --> 01:06:39,519
to head off for dinner, and I've got another lecture tonight.

881
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:42,039
So listen. God bless each and every one of you.

882
01:06:42,079 --> 01:06:44,480
If I have time on Thursday, I'll do a recording

883
01:06:44,519 --> 01:06:46,920
on the Vatican. If not, we'll save it for next week.

884
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,679
But have a great week. God bless you. Keep your

885
01:06:49,679 --> 01:06:52,400
head on a swivel. And until we meet again, my friends,

886
01:06:52,719 --> 01:06:54,800
we will see you.

887
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:04,159
Speaker 5: I know it's been gone. I know you've had spain.

888
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:12,159
I know you feel tired, hell down by all the way.

889
01:07:14,079 --> 01:07:15,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know you.

890
01:07:15,199 --> 01:07:20,559
Speaker 2: Feel more, you smile, ain't the same.

891
01:07:22,519 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 6: I saw you way go from.

892
01:07:25,159 --> 01:07:31,239
Speaker 5: You feel like you've lost your way.

893
01:07:32,039 --> 01:07:37,039
Speaker 7: Don't give it, No, don't give it, and never is home.

894
01:07:37,239 --> 01:07:41,440
Don't let call the primise. It ain't done yet.

895
01:07:41,519 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 1: He's got up plaid. Why it's away?

896
01:07:44,679 --> 01:07:46,159

01:07:46,679 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 7: May come? Why afraid God y called.

898
01:08:02,239 --> 01:08:07,079
Speaker 5: I can see the street beside you. Childs are putting

Speaker 2: You are.

01:08:14,079 --> 01:08:16,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna be all right.

902
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 7: You're accepting a bad found beautiful.

Speaker 1: You're shoving ride.

Speaker 6: Yeah, you're living, breathing, move, you can hold your head

905
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:39,760

Speaker 7: I let winds away down the God of me because

Don't let go on the primies. It ain't gone like

01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:05,800
it's worth living. What's a way down the God?
