 Wow, this video is really good. Gov’t and mafias are just the same - it depends on which side the law is on. 

$2.3 Trillion dollars that goes to the oligarchs of the US every year remains undetected? And they are worried about Bitcoin money laundering lol. 

The Rothchild influence on US gov’t, global war, US debt (and central banks?) is significant. And they were not friends with the Kennedy's. 

In those 2 years JFK was president - initially he was pushed towards triggering all these massive wars - Chomsky shared his darker start - but JFK rebelled against it - wanted the Vietnam war to end, wanted peace in Indonesia, he bridged communications and extended a friendly arm to Soviet and to Cuba - and he said splinter the CIA. 

And of course, the military industry was in panic for the potential loss of business if there were global peace. 

During that time (Beatnik era), there was also the CIA involvement in MKUltra controlling people through drugs. Not to mention the amount of famous people who spoke against war, drugs and kaput. 

I like that they shared the German vs Russia bit. Ppl to this date place a mental map on Russia being “evil” and equivalent to the Nazis when in fact - the Russian fought the hardest against the Nazis during WW2. If anything their ideologies were completely opposite - Nazis were extreme far right that rose to suppress the rise of socialism. 

During WW2, Russia lost 20 - 30 million people fighting the Nazis. All of Europe and Asia lost abt the same. The US faced less than 1% of the damage Russia did. But of course, the military industry needed a “boogie man”. Not to mention the end of WW2 was the perfect timing of implementing Brexton with a bit of nuclear persuasion. 

And it's so spot on the number of major companies that supported the Nazi movement - to be fair tho, hitler started off ok, and then went completely nuts. But interesting to see who wanted him in power and for what reasons. Well other than Hugo Boss - they remain the best dressed military thanks to them lol. 

9/11 is another interesting bit on CIA’s involvement -  I have briefly seen the Bush agenda from Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 911 - but wow - did not know the extend of damage.  

The Islamic rise in the 70s in Afghanistan saw a shift from a dying monarch to a fundamentalist gov’t under Moussad. This was peak Cold War - US funded Moussad in the millions and provided weapons to fight Russia. 

When the Cold war ended, Russia backed off and left Afghanistan. The US didn't. Taliban is the extreme far right Islamic movement that started in the mid 90s, Al Qaeda is the international front. Taliban eventually kicked out Moussad and ruled Afghanistan - they had access to all the weapons thanks to the US. 

Moussad did warn the US that Talibans were up to no good. They killed Moussad on the 10th of Sep. And attacked the World Trade Centre on 11th of Sep. 

This led to another 20 years of gun supply when the US took over Afghanistan. Not to mention a hold on one of the biggest Opium exporters. 

And today, there is what, $80B worth of gun supply in Ukraine ? - imagine using the money to build the country instead of tearing it down. 

Eugenics is another crazy thing - rich people are going to catalogue order their babies and Gattaca’s Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman will be true story eventually. Soon we will be rallying for natural baby making. 

Glad that people are openly talking about this. It should not be a taboo or a media propaganda. Anyone who is trying to cover up is suspicious and worrying. 

This video was really good. Stayed up late watching this despite skimming through some parts. Good night
