1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: The following presentation is Del Marvis Studio's production. You're listening

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,640
to the Fact Hunter Radio Network.

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: Here is your host, George Hobbs.

4
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 3: It's time for another edition of the Fact Hunter Podcast

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:24,399
as we record on this Thursday evening, October thirtieth, twenty

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,879
twenty five. I hope this finds you well. Hope everybody's

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,920
having a good week as once again we enter uncertain times.

8
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,880
A lot of things going on in the world. Before

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,799
we jump into the main topic today, Getty Oil, the

10
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:46,280
Getty family and the Gavin Newsom connection. First, I wanted

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,640
to thank a longtime listener and actually he was a

12
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:53,600
guest on the Flat Earth Files podcast last winter. I

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,679
believe Phil from New Jersey. His kind letter. You don't

14
00:00:58,679 --> 00:01:04,480
see too many handwritten letters anymore, very thoughtful, and appreciate

15
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,719
the mullein as well. That is just a tremendous natural

16
00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:14,840
you know, use it's great, has a really good history

17
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,920
that is used in natural medicine. It helps with respiratory illnesses.

18
00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:26,719
It's antioxidants and anti inflammatory properties, and I really appreciate

19
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,000
you just use it like a t So thank you, Phil,

20
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:33,840
Thanks for listening, and thanks for all your contributions to

21
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,079
the podcasts. Also, obviously we all know what's going on.

22
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:40,840
It's the talk of social media. I'm sure a lot

23
00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:46,519
of friends and families are discussing it as well, the

24
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:51,560
the impending stoppage of the SNAP. I received a few

25
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:57,560
text messages today, several emails of some interesting experiences at

26
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:02,599
Sam's Clubs, at cost codes, at grocery stores today. I

27
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:05,480
don't know if people are just using everything that's left

28
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:09,919
on their cards, but I've heard some comparisons to Black

29
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:15,039
Friday at some costcos and Sam's Clubs and some shoprits

30
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,520
and pathmarks. So I'll just tell you, obviously, this is

31
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,199
an intentional division. Whether it's that they want to make

32
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,400
it so intense they bring in the blue helmet people,

33
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:33,520
which if you're a new listener that's the UN or

34
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,520
whatever it is. Obviously, there was a report yesterday that

35
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,199
Trump has ordered the military to be ready to deploy

36
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:47,599
by January, not to go to Russia Ukraine, but to

37
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,599
break up any dissidents here in the United States. And

38
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,680
you know, I saw a video today from Texas that

39
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,879
was very similar to what we saw in Canada in

40
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,280
twenty twenty. Police showing up to someone's house because of

41
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,840
a post on social media he made about Israel, and

42
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,199
he stood his ground and told the police to leave,

43
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,479
and they did leave. They asked him not to do that.

44
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:18,240
Very nineteen eighty four, Very big brother. Seems like we're

45
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,319
entering some entering some pretty interesting times. And I'll tell

46
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:26,319
you to keep your head on a swivel, be strong

47
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:34,319
in your faith, and really just be careful because this division, again,

48
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,520
it's intentional. Everything over the last twenty five years has

49
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:42,800
been intentional. I rewatched a nine to eleven Truther clip

50
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:49,520
today and how evil that was. And sometimes we forget

51
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,360
the financial aspect of it with Building seven and all

52
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,919
the evidence that was going that was currently housed in

53
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,280
Building seven to take down some people for some stock

54
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:05,960
market trades. So the level of nefarious activity within the government,

55
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,479
the very government who swears to take you know, to

56
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,080
look over us. I mean to use the word treason,

57
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,079
I feel is too light of a word. So I

58
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:18,920
implore each and every one of you to be strung

59
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:24,240
in your faith, you know, get close to people in

60
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,439
your community, and be wary. I hate to say this,

61
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,759
but I will tell you be wary, not scared, just

62
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,199
be wary if you do if this thing does go

63
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:37,959
through and you go to the grocery store. There's obviously

64
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,319
a lot of threats on social media, but ninety percent

65
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,279
of those are just people looking to get clicks, and

66
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:46,040
you know, because of the pride people have today. But

67
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,120
there are going to be some people who buy in

68
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,920
to what they tell you on TV. Right, they put

69
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,600
these figures on television and they get you all riled up,

70
00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:00,519
and like they did in twenty twenty, they forced you

71
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,680
to take a side where you mask or no mask,

72
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:04,759
we vaccine or anti vaccine, and they want us to

73
00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:10,399
fight amongst each other while they sit back and bring

74
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,040
in this one world order, which is the endgame. It's biblical,

75
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:19,759
one world government, one world religion, a central bank, digital coin,

76
00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:25,879
and you know, as truths. I understand how difficult it

77
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,720
can be to communicate this to friends and family when

78
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,120
they don't even understand how banking works. The fractional reserve

79
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,720
banking where they keep so little of your money. It's

80
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:41,399
a scam. It's a shell game. It's you know, the

81
00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:44,399
classic there's five holes and you have two fingers and

82
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:48,279
you're trying to, you know, stop all the different holes.

83
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,279
It's only a matter of time, and I'm not sure

84
00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:55,959
what the endgame is or this is just another distraction

85
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,639
from something bigger, But it just feels to me like

86
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:06,560
there is something nefarious about all of this. I will

87
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,439
tell you if you do or have you had seen

88
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,879
something within the grocery stores at the costcos, send us

89
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:18,480
an email the fact hunter at mail dot com. And again,

90
00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:22,120
we are genuinely concerned for the people who are struggling,

91
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:25,120
who are low income who.

92
00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: You know.

93
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: I again, I don't think charity belongs in the hand

94
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:34,639
of the federal government. I think there are other local

95
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:38,360
entities that can handle it. And anytime you give the

96
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,240
federal government control of something, you're doomed. And now they

97
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,160
have so many people entrenched into this welfare sit you

98
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:53,480
know really what it is. You know, this was a

99
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:59,000
matter of time before it happened. And you know, we

100
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,480
can't complain about taxes and then demand all these gifts

101
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,439
from the government, and the money has to come from somewhere.

102
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:09,519
And obviously we have a federal reserve and they just

103
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,560
print it and we hope we can make the interest

104
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,560
payment and it's a matter of time before we go

105
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,079
bankrupt again. And we saw what happened the first time

106
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,800
when FDR declared bankruptcy, people turned in their gold. That

107
00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:24,839
was a reset. Two thousand and one was a security reset.

108
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,959
Twenty twenty was a fiscal reset as well as a

109
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:34,319
security reset. Very much to a certain point normalizing biometrics.

110
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,879
And I think all of these things may come to

111
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,360
a head in the near future. I'm not going to

112
00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:42,759
lose any sleep over it, but I will practice what

113
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:46,639
I preach. I will keep my head on a swivel.

114
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,759
I've already told my wife that she will not go

115
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,160
to a Walmart by herself. I'm actually we're going on

116
00:07:55,399 --> 00:07:59,639
base tomorrow to do some grocery shopping. I'm pretty sure

117
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:01,480
there's not going to be any issues on a military

118
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:04,480
base at the grocery store. But with that being said,

119
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,279
understand you may not know this, but I think it's

120
00:08:08,439 --> 00:08:12,160
upwards of twenty five percent of people who are epour

121
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,519
and below in the military are on snap benefits. Now,

122
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,600
I can tell you that the military has many, many

123
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,360
backup plans in place for the soldier to take care

124
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:27,360
of them so they'll be okay. So interesting times they

125
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,759
say you reap what you sew. And again, I am

126
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,840
a firm believer in healthcare and education and charity has

127
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,159
no belongings in the federal government. And as far as

128
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:41,960
Gump said, that's all I have to say about that.

129
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:45,919
Let's get into today's episode. And again this is a

130
00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:51,200
combination of the Getty's, the Pelosis, the San Francisco connections.

131
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,440
And I will tell you I truly believe that in

132
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,559
twenty twenty eight the Democratic ticket will consist either as

133
00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:03,799
president or vice president, Gavin Newsom. And it's important to

134
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:08,679
know the money, the power and control behind that. But

135
00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:13,840
this starts many, many, many decades ago in the middle

136
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,159
of the Arabian Desert, on a strip of land that

137
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:22,080
belonged to both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Isn't that funny? Right?

138
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,120
This is seven years after the end of World War two,

139
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:30,320
and another five years after that is when Saddam Hussein

140
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,600
will make his first appearance on the world stage or so.

141
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,399
But here it is the early fifties. You have tankers

142
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,879
queued pipelines or snaked toward the Gulf and from a

143
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:47,399
field called Wafra. The private empire became a reality, so

144
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:50,960
the man behind it would be labeled the richest American.

145
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,159
At one point he called his oil company an empire

146
00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:59,759
and likened himself to Caesar, right, and Caesar considered himself

147
00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:03,399
a god. That's where this guy was really at. And

148
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,399
his name was J. Paul Getty. And this is much

149
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,840
bigger than Tabloyd legend. This is geology. This is known

150
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,519
as concession law and balance sheets. This was a bedrock

151
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:23,360
of what would become a dynasty that later infiltrates museums, art, politics,

152
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:30,519
and yes, even Rome itself. So the Getty story doesn't

153
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,879
actually start in riod or Kuwait City, right. It opens

154
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,440
on the American planes with George F. Getty. And this

155
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,360
guy is a Minneapolis lawyer. He jumps into the oil

156
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,279
patch in the early days and formed Minnahoma Oil in

157
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,240
the Osage Nation in the first years of the nineteen hundreds.

158
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:55,759
His son's name was Jean Paul. That's where the J.

159
00:10:55,919 --> 00:10:59,960
Paul comes from. He learned the trade before building holding

160
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,919
companies and rolling up assets through the nineteen twenties and

161
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,000
the thirties. And again, if you look back during the

162
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,360
quote unquote Great Depression and the stock market collapse of

163
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,559
nineteen twenty nine, look at how many Look at how

164
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,559
many families benefit from that crash. Once again, these things

165
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,320
they know what's coming. They know what to hold, what

166
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:26,559
to sell, what to buy. It's all rigged right. All

167
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,080
the world's the stage. But this is where the family's

168
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,519
first real money was made and where the appetite for

169
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:39,200
outsized bets was forged. So by the nineteen thirties, the

170
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,600
Getty orbit tightened around a vehicle called Pacific Western Oil.

171
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,519
It was publicly traded, it was acquisition hungry. They were

172
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:52,080
purchasing any corporation they could get their hands on, and

173
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,840
they were really increasing under Getty's control. So a few

174
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,559
years go by, it's nineteen fifty six and the name

175
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,559
on the door were officially changed Pacific Western Oil. Right,

176
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,279
that wasn't good enough. They're very prideful people, so they

177
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,759
had to put their name on it, the Getty Oil Company.

178
00:12:12,879 --> 00:12:15,720
And it was a symbolic line in the sand that

179
00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:18,919
the holding company era was giving way to a vertically

180
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:27,039
ambitious operator within global reach. So here's the hinge that

181
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:33,840
converts wealth into this dynastic wealth. Nineteen forty nine, Saudi

182
00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:38,840
Arabia granted Pacific Western Oil the concession to explore and

183
00:12:38,919 --> 00:12:43,120
produce oil on its half of the Saudi Kuwait Neutral Zone.

184
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,480
So the Kuwaiti side had granted its half to the

185
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:52,519
American Independent Oil Company also known as Ammon Oil. You

186
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,879
have to remember at this point the oil men were

187
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,039
fairly skeptical. They were in isolated terrain, and I can

188
00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:01,720
tell you as someone who has been in that portion

189
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:07,919
of the world, it is extremely austere. The environment, very

190
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:14,080
harsh conditions from March is really brutal, with the sandstorms,

191
00:13:17,039 --> 00:13:23,000
the huge change of temperature in the fall in the spring,

192
00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:25,879
very hot during the day, very cool at night. The

193
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,200
logistics were a nightmare. At the time. They hadn't This

194
00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:34,000
is all pre United States getting involved in that area,

195
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:39,120
and you had a world market that was still not

196
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,080
quite yet up and running after World War Two. But

197
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,000
here's the thing. Getty gambled big money and he took

198
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,519
a risk. Now, contemporary reporting lays out how aggressive his

199
00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:59,759
bid actually was. Millions were down payments, they had guaranteed

200
00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:07,159
rule oilties, and terms that really were real interesting that

201
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:15,519
rival oilmen were not willing to face. So they made

202
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,679
history at wafer number four, February tenth, nineteen fifty three.

203
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:24,879
They started drilling and they hit oil five weeks later

204
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,159
March seventeenth, nineteen fifty three, at thirty four hundred feet.

205
00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:34,480
So as soon as they hit oil, they started getting

206
00:14:34,559 --> 00:14:43,600
infrastructure into place. They had a thirty four mile pipeline,

207
00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:48,000
a new terminal at Mina Abdullah, They had twin barrel tanks,

208
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:53,159
seventy three thousand barrel tanks. They had a submarine loading

209
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:58,440
line to deep water. It became all hands on deck

210
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:01,759
and no expense mattered.

211
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:02,159
Speaker 4: Right.

212
00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:06,159
Speaker 3: So January thirteenth, nineteen fifty four, the very first shipment,

213
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,600
ninety two thousand barrels of oil, sailed aboard the Sukura

214
00:15:10,679 --> 00:15:14,360
Maru and it was bound for a refinery in Japan.

215
00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:18,720
In the paperwork and engineering journals of the day, the

216
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:24,679
operator names mattered Pacific Western Oil on the Saudi side

217
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,919
and a Mean Oil on the Kuwaiti side. So through

218
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,519
the late nineteen fifties into the sixties, the capacity just ballooned.

219
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,320
Loop lines were laid to parallel the first pipeline. You

220
00:15:39,399 --> 00:15:43,840
had a six hundred thousand barrel storage tank at the

221
00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:47,200
time was the world's largest. I went up in nineteen

222
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:53,320
sixty one and through put targets marched upward offshore across

223
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,600
the name divided zone. Japan's Arabian Oil Company bought Kafji

224
00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:02,720
Online in nineteen sixty on shore, Getty's Waffa grew into

225
00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:08,960
a heavyweight. So here's a critical thing to mention that

226
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:14,000
Getty found oil. It's not the biggest thing, but it's

227
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,799
truly how fast he discovered, how fast he turned the

228
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:24,320
discovery into cash flow. So again, by the year after

229
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,840
the nineteen fifty six rename into Getty Oil, Getty's half

230
00:16:28,919 --> 00:16:34,840
share of Neutral Zone had rocketed from five point eight

231
00:16:35,039 --> 00:16:40,679
million barrels a year to eleven point six million. It

232
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,679
had literally doubled, with plans to double again. And here

233
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,320
he is already building a refinery to process this heavy

234
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:55,240
oil coming out of Waffra. This isn't passive ownership. This

235
00:16:55,559 --> 00:17:04,920
is aggression, and it's documented in the business press. But

236
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:11,000
what's interesting and more interesting than just barrels was the timing,

237
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,200
because Getty's Neutral Zone gusher hit the global market just

238
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:19,960
as the post war boom accelerated and the seaborne oil

239
00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:24,440
trade scaled hard. So by the mid to late nineteen fifties,

240
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,119
he wasn't merely just another stakeholder. He was the rare

241
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:34,920
individual American controlling a Middle Eastern production stake, something Time

242
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,319
magazine called out as singular in an age dominated by

243
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:47,119
the super majors. So this is really when it pivots

244
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:52,880
from simple geology into power. In nineteen fifty seven, just

245
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,160
think how fast this is going along. Just a few

246
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:01,680
years later, Fortune magazine crowned J. Paul Getty as the

247
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:08,119
wealthiest living American, and he leaned into the image just

248
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,920
like Caesar did. Right, he said, I feel no qualms

249
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,640
likening the Getty Oil Company to an empire and myself

250
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,000
to Caesar. At the very same Sutton place matter where

251
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,079
he installed a coin box payphone for guests, he wouldn't

252
00:18:26,079 --> 00:18:29,279
even let his guests use his phone without paying for it.

253
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,440
The man who pitched pennies marshalled billions. And the same

254
00:18:34,559 --> 00:18:38,960
was were the Rockefellers, right sparadim mister Rockefeller. And they

255
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,359
had to you know, the Rockefellers had to pay a

256
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:50,319
company to redefine their image. So this paradox that Getty

257
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:59,079
had frugality and empire became his brand. So you can't

258
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,200
begin to understand and the Getty Museum, the Getty Trust,

259
00:19:02,839 --> 00:19:07,720
or the political footprint in California without its origin story

260
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,960
the neutral zone concession Pardon me in forty nine and

261
00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:19,160
the nineteen fifty three. Waffer Discovery was a spigot. Once

262
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:26,599
the cash flow stabilized, they could structure their wealth through trust,

263
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,880
and they ultimately aimed that into power into museums. We've

264
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,599
said many times on this podcast, art is the way

265
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:38,000
they launder money.

266
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: Right.

267
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,519
Speaker 3: I can get a crayon and a piece of paper

268
00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:43,799
out and draw something and say it's worth twenty five

269
00:19:43,839 --> 00:19:49,119
million dollars. Right. You'll see all the rich people are

270
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,440
involved in art. And it's not because they really like art,

271
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:58,440
trust me, it's not. But it was also a pipeline

272
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,599
for politics, because if you you get your politicians in place,

273
00:20:02,079 --> 00:20:05,039
then you can have the rules that favor your company.

274
00:20:05,839 --> 00:20:09,599
And again, this is a guy who compared himself to

275
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,839
Caesar and many of the people that came out of

276
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,119
this pipeline No pun intended was a young San Franciscan

277
00:20:17,599 --> 00:20:24,559
name Gavin Newsom. So this before we get into that, though,

278
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,799
we're going to talk about a certain kidnapping and a

279
00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:32,799
link to Rome. So it's Rome. It's July tenth, nineteen

280
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,880
seventy three. There was a sixteen year old American heir

281
00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:40,920
walking the old streets near Piazza Farnice. His name is

282
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,759
John Paul Getty, the third grandson of oil billionaire J.

283
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:51,319
Paul Getty. Hours later, he disappears. At first, the family

284
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,680
kind of just blows it off because he had joked

285
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,599
before were about faking a kidnapping. He had a lot

286
00:20:56,599 --> 00:21:00,920
of money, just wandered the world. But then a letter arrives.

287
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:07,160
The demand was seventeen million dollars and the kidnappers weren't bluffing.

288
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:13,640
They are members of the Calibrian mafia. But again, this

289
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,960
is J. Paul Getty, who made people use a payphone

290
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:23,039
at his house so that the weeks pass. There's skepticism,

291
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:29,480
but then in the mail comes some grizzly proof. I

292
00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:32,160
don't know how many of you have heard this story before,

293
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,680
but November of nineteen seventy three, an envelope is delivered

294
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:40,480
to an Italian newspaper. Inside of it is a lock

295
00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:45,720
of hair and a human ear. The note read, this

296
00:21:45,759 --> 00:21:50,039
is Paul's ear. If within ten days the family still

297
00:21:50,079 --> 00:21:53,839
thinks this is a joke, then the other ear will

298
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,519
arrive in little pieces. And that image first catches the

299
00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:03,960
newspaper papers in Europe and then all across the world.

300
00:22:05,319 --> 00:22:09,559
For the first time, the world associates the Getty name

301
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:15,200
with not just oil, money and power, but with ruthlessness,

302
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:22,000
greed and coldness. And it's because John Paul Getty, this

303
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:27,720
patriarch in his English manner at Sutton Place, refuses to

304
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:34,119
pay the money. His infamous quote read I have fourteen grandchildren.

305
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,440
If I pay a penny now, then I'll have fourteen

306
00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:44,799
kidnapped grandchildren. And at that time it truly cemented his

307
00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:51,319
image as the stingiest billionaire alive. So, like the shrewd

308
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:57,240
businessman he is, he enters negotiations and the mafia lowers

309
00:22:57,279 --> 00:23:01,799
its demand from seventeen million to three million million. Getty

310
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,279
still bulks. And it's only after the boy's ear is

311
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:17,000
sent mutilated, infected does the family finally agree. So you know,

312
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,599
these type of people have to feel like they win.

313
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,000
So the final ransel he wouldn't pay the three million

314
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,759
at the very final negotiation. He had to get it

315
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:28,039
down to two point nine million just to say he won.

316
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:35,880
He got the last negotiation. So Getty finally agrees. But

317
00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:39,279
this is the interesting part. And I remember this guy

318
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:47,079
is the wealthiest man in America, right, he will only

319
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:51,160
agree to pay if it is considered alone to his

320
00:23:51,279 --> 00:23:57,839
son with six percent interest. You heard that right. The

321
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,880
rest must be scraped together by the boys father. So

322
00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:05,640
finally the money moves in in December nineteen seventy three,

323
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:11,839
the cash is delivered. Days later, after five months in captivity,

324
00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:18,720
John Paul Getty IID is found dazed, scarred, wandering on

325
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:24,319
the edge of southern Italy, alive but obviously never the

326
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:29,880
same again. And this story, as it made its way

327
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,720
into the American media, not only reverberated here but around

328
00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:40,680
the world. So at this point, the Getty's had a

329
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,759
huge image problem, likening to what the Rockefellers had at

330
00:24:44,799 --> 00:24:49,319
the turn of the century one hundred years ago. Right,

331
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:55,079
they become this modern morality play wealth so vast that

332
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,880
it can't be moved by human suffering. And from the

333
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,799
then on, the Getties are known as the Ear and

334
00:25:02,839 --> 00:25:09,279
the Envelope family. Now, this is a detail that a

335
00:25:09,319 --> 00:25:12,400
lot of people miss, and it's where the Getty saga

336
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:18,200
connects directly into California politics, because it has to do

337
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:23,119
with one of the men who delivered the money, and

338
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:28,400
his name was William A. Newsom the third, the father

339
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:33,599
of Gavin Newsom. He wasn't a bystander, he was the

340
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:40,920
godfather to John Paul Getty, the third. So when the

341
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,640
time came to deliver the cash, the Gettys trusted Bill

342
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,839
to carry it, and the press at the time noted

343
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:56,079
and later obituaries repeated it, a godfather delivers a ransom payment.

344
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,720
So Bill's role didn't simply end with that delivery. Over

345
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,240
the years, he became one of the Getty family's closest advisors.

346
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,720
He served as the trust administrator. Pardon me, and I

347
00:26:10,759 --> 00:26:15,880
will include the link to the J. Paul Getty Trust.

348
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,119
The last reporting their nine ninety was twenty twenty three

349
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,000
annual revenue of three hundred and seventy million dollars. That's

350
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:36,240
just revenue. I here total assets twelve point five billion dollars.

351
00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:43,519
And again, this nine to ninety loop is the reason

352
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:49,960
these wealthy people are allowed to get by without paying

353
00:26:50,039 --> 00:26:59,720
taxes and to infiltrate American politics. So again, he's serving

354
00:27:00,039 --> 00:27:03,759
as the trust administrator for Gordon Getty and a trustee

355
00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:08,880
for multiple Getty family trusts. This was not an honorary work.

356
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:15,319
It meant handling distributions, investments, and governance. It meant access

357
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,720
to the inner machinery of one of the largest private

358
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:25,680
fortunes on earth. So when we talk about Gavin Newssan's upbringing,

359
00:27:25,839 --> 00:27:29,119
and there's a video going around from a week ago

360
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,359
where he was interviewed and he was saying, I was

361
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,319
eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches all the time, macaroni

362
00:27:35,319 --> 00:27:38,319
and cheese. We didn't have a lot of money, it was.

363
00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:42,359
That's an absolute lie. But we know what's the old joke.

364
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,279
How do you know when a politician is lying when

365
00:27:45,319 --> 00:27:51,119
he's moving his lips? Right, Remember, Gavin Newssen's father wasn't

366
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,240
just a California judge. He was a huge part of

367
00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:58,799
the Getty inner circle. He was the man who carried

368
00:27:58,839 --> 00:28:04,000
the ransom money through Rome, who managed trust funds, who

369
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,680
leveraged Getty wealth for decades. Now there's even a deeper

370
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:15,119
layer to this, saying that the Getty family wasn't paying

371
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,519
its portion of their money to Rome itself the Vatican,

372
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,039
but that in itself, if you start peeling back the

373
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,720
layers of the onion would take another hour in itself,

374
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,519
and that is something we'll come back and reflect on someday.

375
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:35,000
But let's continue with this line with j. Paul Getty,

376
00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:38,039
Let's finish his story. He died in nineteen seventy six,

377
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,279
just three years after the kidnapping. Now his estate was fractured,

378
00:28:43,319 --> 00:28:46,359
but the trust's balloon they went through the roof. And

379
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:51,119
again today it's the richest art institution in the world.

380
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,480
And I mentioned the endowment. I'm close to twelve billion dollars.

381
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:07,119
It's museums, research centers, institutes, and it's power. Right, and

382
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,240
then you have the direct correlation of Bill Newsom, Gavin

383
00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:20,799
Newsom's father, the godfather, the courier, and a trustee. So

384
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,680
now we're going to shift the Getty wealth, which again

385
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,079
now at this point is structured in trusts and institutions,

386
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,839
whether it's the Getty Museum, the Getty Villa, the Getty

387
00:29:34,079 --> 00:29:39,759
Research Institute. But there's a lot of controversy as well,

388
00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:45,079
looted antiquities, legal battles with Italy and Greece, and then

389
00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:49,279
there's even the whispers of hidden tunnels beneath marble walls.

390
00:29:49,319 --> 00:29:54,160
As Stephen D. Kelly once stated, I want to say,

391
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,799
I'm not sure, but I want to say I had

392
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,039
him on the podcast years ago, maybe it was the

393
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,319
radio show. He did have a YouTube video when he

394
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,720
went in looking for the tunnels. I think that video

395
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,759
probably has one hundred and fifty thousand views. Now. I

396
00:30:09,799 --> 00:30:12,880
haven't talked to Stephen D. Kelly in at least five years.

397
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,880
I haven't looked at his website in five years. But

398
00:30:16,039 --> 00:30:19,599
he was give him due credit, the one person who

399
00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:26,960
brought the magnifying glass over the Getties. So by the

400
00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:30,440
late nineteen seventies, the oil empire had been formalized into

401
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,400
a new kind of institution, and that is the Getty Trust.

402
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,440
And again what began with gushers in the desert was

403
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,839
now laundered into marble glass prestige. And Getty himself had

404
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,559
famously said the meek shall inherit the earth, but not

405
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,119
the mineral rights. That's the kind of person this guy was.

406
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,640
And when he died in nineteen seventy six, those mineral

407
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,200
rights had already been transformed into a trust fund. And

408
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,039
that backbone of the endowment that today that sits near

409
00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:05,359
that twelve million dollars, right, and it is the single

410
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,759
wealthiest art institution on the planet. And you heard me

411
00:31:08,839 --> 00:31:11,720
correctly when I said that, if you think about that number,

412
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,119
the Louver in Paris, the met in New York, they

413
00:31:16,119 --> 00:31:19,559
are both dwarfed by the Getty. That's right. It's a

414
00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:25,960
bigger institution than the Louver in Paris. So this fortune

415
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,920
didn't simply vanish in the oil wars of the eighties.

416
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,200
It was restructured, it was shielded, it was protected, and

417
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,039
it was rebranded into this cultural supremacy as they did

418
00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:37,759
in the eighties.

419
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:38,079
Speaker 2: Right.

420
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,759
Speaker 3: So if you drive up into the hills above La

421
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:48,400
you can see it, the Getty Center while these walls

422
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,359
you know, that are glowing in the California sun perched

423
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,519
up like an acropolis. It opened up in ninety seven,

424
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,119
almost thirty years ago, at a cost of one point

425
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:04,519
three billion dollars. Now it was designed not simply as

426
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:09,920
just a museum, but a fortress of legitimacy. So every

427
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,519
detailed mattered, the architecture by rich Meyer, the gardens, the

428
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:20,440
research facilities, the conservation labs, and some possibly other nefarious

429
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,880
activities that we'll get to in a moment. But the

430
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,799
message was clear. The Getty name was no longer about

431
00:32:26,839 --> 00:32:30,799
the oil wells. It wasn't about ransom notes. This was

432
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,519
inherently part of their image change. It was about culture,

433
00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:42,720
it was about knowledge, it was about permanence. Right, Let's

434
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,480
talk a little bit about the antique scandals, So just

435
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,119
shortly after the Getty Center opened, there was a lot

436
00:32:51,119 --> 00:32:55,799
of controversy. At the heart of the scandal was Merry

437
00:32:55,799 --> 00:33:01,519
and True. That's the Getty's curator of antiquities. So for

438
00:33:01,599 --> 00:33:06,559
decades the Getty had acquired Greek and Roman treasures from

439
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:11,359
shadowy dealers. And again, the art trade, there's so many

440
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:16,519
nefarious levels to it. It truly is. And by the

441
00:33:16,559 --> 00:33:19,559
late nineties and early two thousands you have Italy, you

442
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:25,759
had Greece beginning to accuse the museum of hoarding looted antiquities.

443
00:33:26,039 --> 00:33:29,039
One thing that doesn't get taught or talked about enough,

444
00:33:29,079 --> 00:33:33,160
I guess is in two thousand and three when we

445
00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:39,480
walked into Iraq, the looting that happened of the gold

446
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:46,279
of the art of the Ziggurats, the email, infamous emails

447
00:33:46,279 --> 00:33:53,480
from Hillary Gilgamesh. I think there was a whether it's

448
00:33:53,559 --> 00:33:58,799
nine to eleven Afghanistan, Iraq. There are so many layers

449
00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:03,599
to these conspiracies. I mean with Iraq, it was oil,

450
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:12,920
it was gold, it was historical so much. But in

451
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,679
two thousand and five, Marion True was indicted in Italy

452
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,880
for conspiring to traffic and stolen artifacts in two thousand

453
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,519
and seven, the Getty agreed to return forty objects to Italy,

454
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,920
including a golden funery wreath and marble statues. Now the

455
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,880
Italians wanted even more the prized bronze known as the

456
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,119
Victorious Youth that was pulled from the Adriatic Sea in

457
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:39,760
nineteen sixty four, which the Gettys had fought bitterly to keep.

458
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,559
In twenty twenty two, just three years ago, under mounting

459
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:49,199
legal pressure, the Getty returned a monumental marble group called

460
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:54,920
Orpheus and the Sirens to Italy. Now each of these

461
00:34:55,079 --> 00:34:58,519
was they considered a wound to the image of the Gettis,

462
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:03,000
but the timing they went under the radar. Obviously two

463
00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:04,719
thousand and five there was still a lot going on

464
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,440
post nine to eleven stuff. Two thousand and seven, on

465
00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:10,440
the brink of the financial collapse. Twenty twenty two, people

466
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,639
were still talking about vaccines, this and that. So I

467
00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:16,480
don't think it got the attention that it would have

468
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:21,400
gotten and possibly let's say the nineties, But know this,

469
00:35:21,559 --> 00:35:24,800
for every statue that it showcased, there was a claim

470
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,320
that it was stolen or smuggled or brought from the

471
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,920
black market. So this institution that styled itself as the

472
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,480
world's art guardian, was accused of being the world's most

473
00:35:35,519 --> 00:35:44,719
powerful fence. Despite the scandals and the accusations, the Gatty

474
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,079
Trust just continued to grow more powerful. They had billions

475
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:55,519
in its coffers. They funded worldwide conservation efforts and other

476
00:35:55,639 --> 00:35:59,599
activities that we'll get to again. Right, And the wealth

477
00:35:59,599 --> 00:36:02,639
that once came from the neutral zone was now writing

478
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:09,079
art history text books and deciding which civilizations would be displayed.

479
00:36:09,159 --> 00:36:12,960
So again, when you're wealthy and you have the opportunity

480
00:36:13,039 --> 00:36:19,360
to rewrite history, which again our children's textbooks from the

481
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,960
public schools, they're very one sided. We talk about that

482
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:30,280
all the time. So again I do want to very

483
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:35,039
briefly mention the conspiracy layer about this with Stephen D.

484
00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:38,559
Kelly and I will look, let me put this note

485
00:36:38,559 --> 00:36:41,559
here video I'll go on YouTube to see if that

486
00:36:41,639 --> 00:36:44,840
video is still there. Right, A lot of things have

487
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,719
been scrubbed from the last five years, and I'll leave

488
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:51,119
it to you to decide. But in the undercurrents of

489
00:36:51,159 --> 00:36:56,440
Los Angeles there was a lot of whispers going on.

490
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,559
One really caught and spread and that was Stephen D. Kelly,

491
00:37:01,159 --> 00:37:06,119
a former CIA nsa contractor turned whistleblower. Now Stephen claimed

492
00:37:07,039 --> 00:37:11,880
that beneath the Getty Museum lied a vast underground complex.

493
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:17,039
There's tons of reddits and chat rooms and forums about

494
00:37:17,039 --> 00:37:20,880
this since Steven broke that news. I want to say

495
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:26,400
it was ten fifteen years ago, and again I should

496
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:32,679
have found the video beforehand, but nevertheless it really caught

497
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:41,000
some steam. And these network of tunnels were where many

498
00:37:41,039 --> 00:37:45,840
of the elites were conducting child trafficking, and some even

499
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,239
said there was some satanic virtual abuse going on, and

500
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,159
he called the Getty the hub of all evil in

501
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,880
Los Angeles. Now, of course, the mainstream media dismissed the claims.

502
00:37:57,039 --> 00:37:59,920
The fact checkers jumped into action, as they always do,

503
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:05,320
so the Getty refused to comment. But still today you

504
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,880
can find if you insert that in well, if you

505
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,800
put it in Google, your first twenty hits are going

506
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,880
to be fact checkers. But if you go to alternate

507
00:38:15,159 --> 00:38:18,519
searches and you take the time to research, maybe on

508
00:38:18,639 --> 00:38:21,920
Rumble or do a reverse search on YouTube by date

509
00:38:22,039 --> 00:38:24,519
something of that effect, you will find a lot of

510
00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:28,480
conversation about that. Whether it's the same kind of traction

511
00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:31,360
of people have with the Walmarts, right with the underground

512
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,760
tunnels and the walmarts and the government really controlling them

513
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,880
as a logistic hub. You know who knows. In this

514
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,840
day and age, we can't just dismiss anything without looking

515
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,880
into it in this crazy world we live in. But

516
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,239
the real reason this rumor continues to persist is because

517
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,320
the Getty family checks every box. They have immense wealth.

518
00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,360
They have a fortress like secrecy. They use art is

519
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,960
their cover, and we know behind doors closed. When you

520
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,559
have all the money in the world, what is the

521
00:39:05,599 --> 00:39:09,159
one thing you're looking for. You're looking for eternal life.

522
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,960
They want to outlive everyone. They want to defeat God.

523
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:13,440
And that's.

524
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 2: Man.

525
00:39:15,559 --> 00:39:18,119
Speaker 3: And I mentioned it three weeks ago. You go look

526
00:39:18,119 --> 00:39:20,280
at the numbers of children who go missing in South

527
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:25,119
America every single year. It's astonishing, it's mind blowing. But

528
00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:27,719
we live in a society where we go, wow, that's horrible,

529
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,480
and then we turn on YouTube a change a channel,

530
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,239
and we move on with their life. There's no accountability

531
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:38,239
in this world. And listen, maybe Kelly's wrong, maybe he's right.

532
00:39:39,039 --> 00:39:44,159
Know how the governments work in this world. The Getty

533
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,599
is more than just a museum. It's a symbol, right

534
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:57,679
like Denver, the airport there. So the reason why this

535
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,719
matters is because the Getty Trust is truly the hinge

536
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:08,239
in our story like everything else. Like again, if you're

537
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,800
new to the podcast, please don't dismiss this. Please take

538
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,400
the time to research what I'm about to say. The

539
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:25,639
American Cancer Society, Saint Jude's, all of these nonprofit organizations.

540
00:40:25,639 --> 00:40:29,000
When you actually take five minutes and you put in

541
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:33,960
American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, and then end it

542
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,920
with nine to ninety and Pro Publica shows up and

543
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,039
you click on it, and then you click on their

544
00:40:39,079 --> 00:40:43,159
tax return and you see how much of your donations

545
00:40:43,199 --> 00:40:48,679
and your friend's donations go to salaries, go to galas,

546
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,960
and how little actually goes to benefit the people.

547
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 4: Right.

548
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 3: And the commercials are the same, the person there with

549
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:02,079
a tear rolling down their cheek and show children suffering. Right,

550
00:41:02,119 --> 00:41:03,880
you remember the old commercial from the eighties for just

551
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,519
one penny a day. Find out that ninety percent of

552
00:41:06,599 --> 00:41:13,159
that money was going to private jets, to salaries, to

553
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:19,159
retirement funds. These people retire and get monthly paychecks. This

554
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,280
all goes back to what we started out saying at

555
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:26,199
the beginning of this podcast is charity is a scam

556
00:41:26,199 --> 00:41:32,119
in this country. When government touches charity, it's corrupted. When

557
00:41:32,119 --> 00:41:38,840
elites touch charity, it's corrupted. And a lot of people

558
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,360
turned a blind eye to it. Like every time I

559
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,239
try to mention the wreaths across America, people get upset

560
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:52,679
and people don't like to have their traditions interrupted. Right,

561
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,559
It's all about duality. That's what we always talk about,

562
00:41:55,559 --> 00:41:58,199
the duality of this world. That's why the black and

563
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:06,320
white tiles right Solomon's Temple in the Masonic Halls documented power,

564
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,320
whispered conspiracy. That's what makes the Getty central to the

565
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,159
web of influence that we're facing here in the United States.

566
00:42:14,639 --> 00:42:17,639
The Getty stand is a monument to how wealth is hidden,

567
00:42:18,119 --> 00:42:21,400
how it's you know, withheld from being taxed, how they

568
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:26,920
transform it, and how they weaponize it against us. And

569
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,639
it's a you know, a culture. And if you look

570
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,719
at the connections, whether it's the rise of Gavin Newsome

571
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:43,440
and the networks, the oil Germany in the thirties and forties,

572
00:42:43,679 --> 00:42:49,599
the OSS, the Cia, the Jesuits and Rome, they all converge.

573
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,679
It gets much deeper than that. You look at the

574
00:42:54,039 --> 00:42:57,679
early nineteen eighties again, the Getty name at this point

575
00:42:58,079 --> 00:43:01,480
no longer just meant oil wells and marble museums. It

576
00:43:01,559 --> 00:43:04,639
meant Getty Oil, right, And I know people my age

577
00:43:04,679 --> 00:43:08,000
remember the Getty signs. Getty gas stations were on every quarter.

578
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,159
It was one of the largest independent oil companies in

579
00:43:11,199 --> 00:43:14,480
the United States. They sat on tens of millions of

580
00:43:14,519 --> 00:43:18,239
barrels and reserves. They had a stockpile. Their cash flow

581
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:23,400
was just unbelievable. But after J. Paul Getty's death in

582
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,440
nineteen seventy six, the company was not run by one

583
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:32,280
shrewd dictator anymore. It was governed by trustees boards, and

584
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,440
of course the heirs had to say in things. And

585
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,719
that's when these type of things happen, and people start

586
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:44,000
to smell money. That's when the predators really try to circle.

587
00:43:44,199 --> 00:43:52,079
Right now, in the essence of big oil, Getty was unusual. Okay,

588
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,360
This wasn't Exxon, this wasn't Shell out of Britain, this

589
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,519
was agency, It was independent, and it was totally controlled

590
00:43:59,519 --> 00:44:05,800
by a family, right Gordon Getty the sun He emerged

591
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,679
as the largest shareholder after his father's passing. He held

592
00:44:10,119 --> 00:44:13,159
forty percent. It wasn't fifty. I think it was forty

593
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:17,440
or forty five percent. And here's the thing. Gordon was

594
00:44:17,559 --> 00:44:22,440
not an oil man. He was anything, but he was

595
00:44:24,079 --> 00:44:27,880
a music composer. He was a patron of the arts,

596
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,880
which is why they started to go in that direction.

597
00:44:32,119 --> 00:44:35,119
And when fortunes, you know, falls into hands like that,

598
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,880
Wall Street smells blood and people are apt to be.

599
00:44:40,119 --> 00:44:45,400
Getty Oil had become the crown jewel for corporate raiders

600
00:44:45,639 --> 00:44:49,320
for lack of a better word. Right, Gordon Getty himself

601
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,159
hinted that he would sell to the highest bidder, telling

602
00:44:53,159 --> 00:44:56,000
his lawyers and advisers he was open to offers. Again,

603
00:44:56,039 --> 00:44:58,199
he was into the arts, he wasn't an oil man.

604
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,880
And that signal really sent shock waves through the oil industry.

605
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:12,079
So a year later there were pretty heated up negotiations

606
00:45:12,119 --> 00:45:15,800
between Getty and pens Oil. Right, still a familiar name today.

607
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:19,199
They're out of Texas, by the way, run by a

608
00:45:19,199 --> 00:45:23,079
guy named Hugh leedk. I believe it's Toople. So the

609
00:45:23,119 --> 00:45:26,159
deal was Pens Oil would acquire part of Getty Oil,

610
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:33,239
with Gordon Getty's trust cashing out for billions of dollars. Right,

611
00:45:34,199 --> 00:45:37,719
they toasted the champagne, and the press wrote the story

612
00:45:38,559 --> 00:45:43,119
as if it were done. But Getty Oil, after decades

613
00:45:43,119 --> 00:45:47,039
of family control, was about to be absorbed and then

614
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:53,599
came in ambush, right Texas or Texaco struck So within

615
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,360
days Texaco at that time, another one of the oil

616
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:01,360
giants swooped in with a bigger offer, one hundred and

617
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,679
twenty five dollars per share. Now a pennz oils was

618
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:12,800
around one ten, one twelve, and Getty's board, like any

619
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,719
they are corporate greed, right, we're all familiar with that.

620
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,880
They wanted the maximum profit, so they jumped ship and

621
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:24,440
overnight Pen's Oil was left hanging. They had a handshake

622
00:46:24,559 --> 00:46:28,199
deal in place, but nothing was signed, so the contract

623
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:35,360
was snatched away. But led Key was no ordinary oil man.

624
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,920
He was a Texan with a fight in his pocket,

625
00:46:38,199 --> 00:46:41,760
and he hauled Texico into court. And at that time,

626
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,000
if you go back and read the newspapers, if you

627
00:46:45,039 --> 00:46:50,199
ever go to newspapers dot com, get get a yearly subscription.

628
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,360
It's a bit of money. But to be able to

629
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,679
go back and read newspaper articles from the eighteen hundreds

630
00:46:56,159 --> 00:47:01,559
nineteen thirties, how it was written, the way it was right,

631
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:07,440
and seeing something that obviously goes completely against what your

632
00:47:07,559 --> 00:47:11,239
history book says it's amazing. But at this point, this

633
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,480
is one of the biggest corporate lawsuits in American history.

634
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:23,440
And it was Pennzoil versus Texaco nineteen eighty five. Texico argued, no,

635
00:47:23,559 --> 00:47:26,719
it was just preliminary. Pennz Oil said, yes, we had

636
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,039
the deal in Texico stole it. The jury listened, sent

637
00:47:30,119 --> 00:47:36,599
Wall Street into a frenzy. Texico was guilty of tortuous

638
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:44,079
interference and the damages were ten point five billion dollars

639
00:47:44,199 --> 00:47:48,320
and at this time it was the largest civil verdict

640
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,599
in American history. And again this is something nobody talks

641
00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:55,920
about in the history books. It was all over the headlines.

642
00:47:57,119 --> 00:47:59,960
The traders on Wall Street panic. Remember two years later,

643
00:48:01,119 --> 00:48:05,320
in was it October of eighty seven, you had a

644
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:10,119
huge stock market crash. The company appealed, but the courts

645
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:15,920
upheld the judgment. So Texico and they filed for Chapter

646
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,280
eleven bankruptcy protection in nineteen eighty seven, and it was

647
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:24,000
the largest bankruptcy filing in US history to that point.

648
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:29,039
So you see the Getty family still indirectly involved in

649
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,320
corporate collapse. So what happened? The Getty Airs walk away

650
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:39,639
with billions. The Getty trust was enriched beyond imagination. Penzoy

651
00:48:39,639 --> 00:48:43,400
would penz Oil, pardon me, would eventually settle with Texco

652
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,559
for somewhere around I think it was three billion in cash, again,

653
00:48:46,639 --> 00:48:52,000
another record settlement for the time. But the oil industry

654
00:48:52,039 --> 00:48:55,199
had really been reshaped, and the Getty name had once

655
00:48:55,239 --> 00:49:02,400
again and rewrite the rules. But I think there's a

656
00:49:02,519 --> 00:49:05,599
darker lesson here. This wasn't just about money. It was

657
00:49:05,639 --> 00:49:09,440
about power without accountability, something we see all the time.

658
00:49:11,039 --> 00:49:14,840
One family's private fortune could trigger the largest corporate lawsuit

659
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,320
in history, bankrupt one of the nation's largest oil companies,

660
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:25,000
and then walk away with billions in their pocket. So

661
00:49:25,079 --> 00:49:28,360
why does it matter? Because by the late nineteen eighties,

662
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,119
when all this is going down, the Gettys just weren't

663
00:49:31,199 --> 00:49:36,840
oil airs anymore. They were cash rich, They were kingmakers.

664
00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:43,519
They had deep into the politicians. Gordon Getty's billions weren't

665
00:49:43,599 --> 00:49:47,400
trapped in oil fields anymore. They were liquid. They could

666
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:52,800
flow into investments, cultural institutions, the history books, political campaigns.

667
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:59,519
This is the war chest that later seeded Gavin Newsom's rise. Okay,

668
00:50:00,079 --> 00:50:03,679
I can assure you, whether it's Gavin Nussen's podcast or

669
00:50:03,679 --> 00:50:08,639
whatever it is, he does, there is Getty money behind him. Okay,

670
00:50:09,039 --> 00:50:13,679
This capital is what turned a San Francisco wine shop

671
00:50:14,119 --> 00:50:17,920
into a political launch pad. This is the leverage that

672
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:22,239
made Newsom and Getty. You know this connection. The War

673
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,679
of the nineteen eighties, this oil War of the nineteen

674
00:50:24,679 --> 00:50:27,239
eighties was more than a corporate drama. It was the

675
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:35,840
final transformation of getty wealth, right, and it had a

676
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:42,920
huge influence on many, many things. Right. So, just as

677
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,199
the dust is settling on Wall Street, that Getty's are

678
00:50:46,199 --> 00:50:49,920
off the new ventures. One of them was backing the

679
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:54,320
son of his family's trusted advisor, Bill Newsom. And his

680
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:59,280
son was Christopher pardon me, Gavin, Christopher Newsom, and his

681
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:03,519
story is just about wine bottles and campaign speeches. It

682
00:51:03,639 --> 00:51:10,000
run through not see intelligence officers recycled by the CIA.

683
00:51:11,199 --> 00:51:15,199
So again, Gordon Getty is more than an air with

684
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:22,679
a checkbook. You know, he's picking winners now, he's financing winners.

685
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:27,400
He wants people in place who can affect law. One

686
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,639
of those winners, one of the people he decided to back,

687
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,599
was a young San Franciscan with he had, you know,

688
00:51:32,599 --> 00:51:36,639
a good looking guy, polished grin, talent for networking and

689
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:43,039
of course it's Gavin Newsom. And again, long before his

690
00:51:43,119 --> 00:51:46,719
son ever ran for office, he was an administrator within

691
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,000
the trust. He carried the money that we mentioned earlier

692
00:51:50,199 --> 00:51:53,800
in nineteen seventy three for the ransom, and he managed

693
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:59,960
much of their money in legal matters. And this trust

694
00:52:00,039 --> 00:52:07,079
steteship meant access to distributions, investment strategies. Right. He knew

695
00:52:07,119 --> 00:52:09,559
when the Gettys were going to get into something he

696
00:52:09,639 --> 00:52:11,480
knew before he could be a part of it and

697
00:52:11,599 --> 00:52:16,000
enrich himself when the ship needed to be guided, and

698
00:52:16,639 --> 00:52:20,360
in turn, the Getty machine needed someone who's reliable. I'll

699
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:25,159
tell you whether it's a president or a bank or

700
00:52:25,199 --> 00:52:31,320
a powerful person, there's always a guiding hand nearby. Now,

701
00:52:32,039 --> 00:52:37,039
the European tour is something that never shows up in

702
00:52:37,079 --> 00:52:42,039
the history books. Right nineteen sixty nine, nineteen seventy Bill

703
00:52:42,119 --> 00:52:46,880
Newsom isn't just you know, tending to cases in San Francisco.

704
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:51,119
He is going across Europe with the gentleman by the

705
00:52:51,199 --> 00:52:55,760
name of Otto Obricht van Bolshwing. See. This guy was

706
00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:01,880
a former ss Nazi guy officer. He worked in the

707
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:07,559
orbit of Adolph Eichman's Office of Jewish Affairs. Later recruited

708
00:53:07,559 --> 00:53:11,599
by US intelligence during the early Cold War, which we

709
00:53:11,679 --> 00:53:15,400
all know goes by the name Operation paper Clip. Right,

710
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:19,280
same with Warner Brown, pardon me, Warner von Brown and

711
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:23,599
many others. Right. Our history books tells us that these

712
00:53:23,639 --> 00:53:27,079
are the most despicable people to have ever walked the

713
00:53:27,119 --> 00:53:30,679
face of the earth. Yet we brought many of them

714
00:53:31,159 --> 00:53:33,599
into our fold and put them in the highest levels

715
00:53:33,599 --> 00:53:38,760
of government. Makes perfect sense, right. So by that late

716
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:45,480
nineteen sixties, Getty aligned his capital and helped position von

717
00:53:45,559 --> 00:53:50,280
Bolschwing at the top of the California tech ventures at

718
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,480
the very top. And you all know that, you know

719
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:58,000
Apple in the seventies and all these other Silicon valley

720
00:53:58,599 --> 00:54:01,400
Getty was behind that is well, it was known as

721
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:05,719
the trans International Computer Investment Corporation TCI, and again Bill

722
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:11,119
Newsom served as the council and board member. So these

723
00:54:11,159 --> 00:54:15,559
guys go across Europe together. They were tapping his banking,

724
00:54:16,159 --> 00:54:21,039
his business contacts, they were scouting deals. So think about

725
00:54:21,079 --> 00:54:25,920
it this way, a future governor's father traveling with a

726
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,000
you know, the highest level of officer during World War Two,

727
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,480
who we considered the enemy at that time. That's what

728
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,639
we were told in our history books turned into this

729
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:40,800
US asset and was in service of Getty financed enterprise. So,

730
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:45,760
if you want to really understand the subterranean plumbing of

731
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:51,400
American power during the Cold War, how oil money, intelligence assets,

732
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:56,199
and political families interlock, this is the Rosetta stone, right.

733
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:02,440
It's a big deal Jesuit formation and how it opened

734
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:07,480
the doors for the Newsom family. Right, he walked in

735
00:55:07,599 --> 00:55:12,039
this world that was tightly knit to Catholic institutions and

736
00:55:12,199 --> 00:55:16,440
Jesuit influence. And again, remember, you know, I don't remember

737
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,440
if I said this already in the seventeen hundreds, you

738
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,880
could not hold political office, You could not even be

739
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:25,679
a lawyer if you were a Jesuit. Now, Jesuits are

740
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:30,119
often called the Pope's shock troops for a reason. They

741
00:55:30,199 --> 00:55:33,840
produce operators who make things happen behind the scenes.

742
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:34,199
Speaker 2: Right.

743
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 3: And then, of course ninety one Newsome enters the arena

744
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:45,360
as an entrepreneur opens a boutique on Fillmore Street. Right.

745
00:55:46,199 --> 00:55:50,480
His wine, his brand is called plump Jack. It expands

746
00:55:50,519 --> 00:55:56,400
into an apple winery, restaurants, hotel. But you don't get

747
00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:00,800
that kind of investment egg from a bank without putting

748
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,199
up a large share of your own money. You see,

749
00:56:04,199 --> 00:56:07,960
that's where Getty's checkbooks made a difference between you know,

750
00:56:08,119 --> 00:56:11,320
this promising little shop on a corner to becoming the

751
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,719
portfolio that it did. But here's the most important thing

752
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,960
to remember. This was not charity. The Getties never do

753
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,920
anything out of the goodness of their heart. It is

754
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,320
a sponsorship, right. We always say that politicians should be

755
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,800
like the NASCAR drivers and wear these jackets that have

756
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,760
all the little patches of everyone who sponsors them, right,

757
00:56:29,039 --> 00:56:31,840
Apak Pfizer, on and on and on.

758
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 2: Right.

759
00:56:33,519 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 3: So it's a big deal. So you know, understanding this

760
00:56:43,039 --> 00:56:47,760
Getty empire from the fifties to today and everything that

761
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:52,079
is connected is truly amazing. And you look at the

762
00:56:52,119 --> 00:56:56,239
San Francisco connections to the hair you know, Kamala Harris,

763
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:04,719
Willie Brown, the governors of California, right, the Brown family.

764
00:57:08,639 --> 00:57:13,639
It's a huge deal. So to understand Gavin Newsom, you

765
00:57:13,679 --> 00:57:17,000
have to understand San Francisco. And I'm not super familiar

766
00:57:17,079 --> 00:57:20,199
with it, right, but it is a city of old

767
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:24,719
lyne Catholic families. You have art patrons, right, Big tech

768
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:30,920
is in the area. It's a big deal. And you

769
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,880
have the arts and that's a great way to move

770
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,000
the money. Right, you have the Museum gala. They placed

771
00:57:38,039 --> 00:57:40,639
billion dollar patrons at a table with mayors in waiting

772
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:46,159
with their checkbooks out. You have Willie Brown right. For

773
00:57:46,239 --> 00:57:49,679
decades he was first a speaker in Sacramento and then

774
00:57:49,679 --> 00:57:53,559
the mayor of San Francisco. He ran the switchboards, the commissions,

775
00:57:53,599 --> 00:57:57,239
the appointments, the endorsements. So it's no accident that Gavin

776
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:02,199
Newsom's first real political foothold it didn't come from some

777
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,480
grassroots uprising. They always make it sound that way, right,

778
00:58:06,039 --> 00:58:09,960
those fraudulent politicians with their tie a little loose and

779
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,440
his sleeves rolled up, like he's actually done some work,

780
00:58:14,159 --> 00:58:18,880
get out of here. But Brown's superpower was stitching money

781
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,760
with votes. He could fill a ballroom with donors on Friday.

782
00:58:22,559 --> 00:58:25,840
He could fill prank sincts precincts with volunteers on a

783
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:32,119
random Tuesday. But when the gettys leaned in behind Gavin,

784
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:37,039
that is when things really started to move right. And

785
00:58:37,559 --> 00:58:41,559
lest we forget the connection to Nancy Pelosi, right, and

786
00:58:41,679 --> 00:58:47,559
Nancy Pelosi's rise really forged this national money pipeline that

787
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:51,920
showed that money in a certain city doesn't just have

788
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,800
to stay within that city. Okay, money from San Francisco

789
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:02,599
gets funnel to DC through the pelosis, whether it's leadership, packs,

790
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:09,519
legacy donors, right, it can turn a city mayor hopeful

791
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:16,360
into a statewide contender, into a mainstay in Washington, d C.

792
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,599
And if you pay pair that with Jerry Brown, governor

793
00:59:19,679 --> 00:59:24,320
Jerry Brown's footprint and their institutional money down there in

794
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:28,599
San Francisco or up there, I should say, then again

795
00:59:28,679 --> 00:59:31,519
you have it goes from local to city to state

796
00:59:31,559 --> 00:59:32,039
to federal.

797
00:59:33,639 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 2: Right.

798
00:59:36,559 --> 00:59:39,239
Speaker 3: If San Francisco wants to make a governor, they look

799
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:44,679
to the Gettys. They make it right. Reagan was no different, Harris,

800
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:49,239
no different. The Getty thread is through it all, right,

801
00:59:49,559 --> 00:59:52,719
from the Neutral Zone oil to the Getty Trust, to

802
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:58,119
the museum to the campaign accounts. They're behind it all.

803
00:59:58,239 --> 01:00:01,960
You know. Other than the Carnegie Foundation bill and Melinda

804
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:06,559
Gates money, there are very few trusts that are able

805
01:00:06,679 --> 01:00:10,760
to move the world's scale the way that the Gettys do.

806
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:20,880
And again it's important to understand the Rome echo, right,

807
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:25,840
whether it's the Jesuit schools, the Catholic sacraments, the god parents,

808
01:00:26,079 --> 01:00:28,920
Rome is a symbol and a seat right the same

809
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:34,000
city where Bill Newsom carried ransom cash becomes this emblem

810
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:43,840
of the order that formed Gavin Right. So you know,

811
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:49,440
here we are. It's been seventy two years since Paul Getty,

812
01:00:49,519 --> 01:00:53,480
j Paul Getty, you know, hitched a bet on the

813
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:59,039
Sodi Kuwait neutral zone in nineteen fifty three, and what

814
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:07,800
was once pipelines refineries became a monstrous stress. Right nineteen

815
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:14,440
fifty seven, Basking on the cover of Fortune magazine. They

816
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:19,400
were calling him Caesar, very ruthless guy, very much like Caesar.

817
01:01:19,679 --> 01:01:24,719
Right negotiated his grandson's ransom down to two point nine million,

818
01:01:25,159 --> 01:01:30,280
demanded repayment with six percent interest. And right there was

819
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:36,039
Bill Newsome, father of California Governor Gavin Newsom. We've talked

820
01:01:36,039 --> 01:01:40,119
about trustees, We've you know, we've talked about officers at

821
01:01:40,119 --> 01:01:42,760
the highest level of World War Two who were told

822
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:47,760
was the enemy the CIA operation pay per Clip von Bouschwing.

823
01:01:49,199 --> 01:01:51,760
It's quite a web and it doesn't get talked about

824
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,920
quite enough. And again, whether the museum is a fortress,

825
01:01:55,960 --> 01:02:01,639
whether it is used for more nefarious means, I would

826
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,960
venture to say you should take the time and look

827
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:08,719
into it for yourself. Understand that the gettys pick and

828
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,159
choose who carries the torch, whether it's a Brown, a Newsom,

829
01:02:12,239 --> 01:02:22,079
a Pelosi, a Harris. Right, but know that the very

830
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,440
top people of the government are involved with the very

831
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:30,119
top people in business. They have different titles, but they

832
01:02:30,159 --> 01:02:32,199
have the same goal in mind, and that is power

833
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:36,159
and control. So again, why is this important Because I

834
01:02:36,199 --> 01:02:39,840
do think that Gavin Newsom is going to be a

835
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,239
part of the presidential ticket in twenty twenty eight, whether

836
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:46,159
it's VP or president. He's doing the old shucks kind

837
01:02:46,239 --> 01:02:50,119
of thing like a Clinton did, like a George W. Bush,

838
01:02:50,239 --> 01:02:53,320
you know, just a humble, little guy, tough upbringing, which

839
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:57,360
nothing could be further from the truth. He's even having

840
01:02:57,719 --> 01:03:00,559
Republican people on his podcast, right, He's a man of

841
01:03:00,559 --> 01:03:06,360
the people. There's no boundary between Republican and Democrat. And again,

842
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:10,199
his term ends January twenty seven, in perfect timing for

843
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:16,400
him to step into the presidential platform and we'll see,

844
01:03:16,559 --> 01:03:19,000
you know, the script that they have where he is

845
01:03:19,039 --> 01:03:22,559
going to play on the world stage. But we have

846
01:03:22,679 --> 01:03:24,800
a long way to go before then. We still have

847
01:03:25,519 --> 01:03:29,519
a year and change about what fifteen months before that ends,

848
01:03:30,239 --> 01:03:35,320
and just in the next week we're facing interesting times.

849
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,719
And again, as I said in the beginning of the podcast,

850
01:03:39,079 --> 01:03:41,000
is you know, all these people at the top of

851
01:03:41,039 --> 01:03:44,159
the food chain, especially within the government, that are sworn

852
01:03:44,199 --> 01:03:47,920
to protect you, ninety nine percent of them are more

853
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,920
worried about themselves than you. And much of the machine

854
01:03:52,199 --> 01:03:55,840
is planned and intentional. And as we say, keep your

855
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,840
head on a swivel, we definitely are up against interesting times.

856
01:03:59,199 --> 01:04:03,519
We'll see once again and is this just a you know,

857
01:04:03,599 --> 01:04:07,039
something to conjure up people, to get people work up,

858
01:04:07,079 --> 01:04:09,440
to spend money, and then tomorrow they say, oh, never mind,

859
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,840
We're gonna take care of snap and everything goes back

860
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,199
to normal. Or are they really going to follow through?

861
01:04:15,679 --> 01:04:19,119
And you'll have voices on both sides saying, you know,

862
01:04:19,719 --> 01:04:21,960
armor up, defend yourself, on the other side saying, you know,

863
01:04:22,119 --> 01:04:26,159
raid the stores you shouldn't have to pay. And you know,

864
01:04:26,199 --> 01:04:28,920
with social media, it won't take long for those images

865
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,719
to be on Twitter and TikTok and Facebook, and it's

866
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,400
going to get people riled up. And that's the intent

867
01:04:35,719 --> 01:04:39,400
to divide and conquer and to take the focus off

868
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:43,519
the parasitic elite that are are doing this intentional so

869
01:04:43,599 --> 01:04:46,559
they can bring in more command more control and to

870
01:04:46,599 --> 01:04:49,360
take away more of your freedoms and to eventually bring

871
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,760
in the CBDC. Right, everybody's on a level, a level

872
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:58,360
playing field, universal basic income, have everything in place. Whether

873
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:01,480
that happens now we're twenty thirty, we shall see. But

874
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,800
you know, don't at the same time, don't stay in

875
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:08,880
the in the gloom and done. They want you to

876
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:12,280
be you know, quote unquote low vibrations. They want you

877
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:14,719
to be depressed, right, so you can get more of

878
01:05:14,719 --> 01:05:19,679
that big pharma in your body. Because if you have

879
01:05:19,719 --> 01:05:22,320
faith in Christ and you have got at your side,

880
01:05:22,599 --> 01:05:27,079
there's nothing to fear, right and Psalm's one eighteen eight

881
01:05:27,079 --> 01:05:29,559
says put your faith in God, not in man, because

882
01:05:29,639 --> 01:05:32,960
man is flawed and when he gets the power and

883
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,679
the fame and fortune, like J. Paul Getty, did you

884
01:05:35,679 --> 01:05:39,920
see what it happens to those people? You put payphones

885
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:49,360
inside your house, you negotiate your grandson's right. It's just

886
01:05:49,599 --> 01:05:51,920
it's it's a circus world, and I don't want to

887
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:55,239
be a part of that world. So I hope everybody

888
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,119
has a tremendous weekend. Again, my friends, take care.

889
01:05:58,079 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 4: We'll see him.

890
01:06:01,719 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 2: I know it's being strug God.
