Yesterday I had Colonel Towner-Watkins on the podcast for the first time. She’s an expert on the history of the intelligence agencies and the international syndicate that has been shaping world events in the Post World War II era. We got into the recent events in the Middle East, how they are connected to the different factions that have been operating internationally for decades, and the illicit funding mechanisms of the intelligence agencies. You can find the Colonel on Twitter and on Rumble.

Podcast Summary

* The shaping and control mechanisms used by the intelligence agencies in the post World War II era.

* How borders were drawn in the post World War II era to set up chaos nodes in the Middle East and Asia with the formation of Israel, Pakistan, and Formosa (Taiwan).

* How the opium and cocaine trade was used as a funding mechanism for the intelligence agencies and the international syndicate.

* How the large international corporations benefited from different operations and coups run by the intelligence agencies.

* Why it was crucial to take Maduro alive during the Venezuela operation, and how he has extensive knowledge of this system.

* The factions in Iran, the chaos node in Israel, and how the recent events in the Middle East show that Trump is targeting those outposts for the international syndicate.

* How the intelligence agencies are interconnected, and how different “terrorist groups and regimes” were funded by Israel and other parts of the international syndicate.

* How large insurance companies have become intelligence fronts, at least in part.

* Lloyd’s of London, how they benefit from the implicit US guarantee of global shipping lanes, and their influence on maritime insurance as a piece on the geopolitical chessboard.

* The reasoning behind the Strait of Hormuz blockade, and why Europe will cry uncle first due to their deindustrialization and lack of energy production.

* Why the system always needs a boogeyman. That was the Soviet Union until the 90s, and now the boogeyman in the Middle East is Iran.

* How the timing of the fentanyl explosion ties into the timing of pulling out of Afghanistan.

* Where all of the recent events lead for the US, Europe, and the Middle East, and the back channel communications that have probably been going on with Russia and China.

* DOGE, USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy, and targeting the NGO network of institutions and foundations.

* Why you will need to see some significant movement in the next three months as far as arrests in order to avoid a wipeout in the midterms.

* Book Recommendations: Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance Between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia by Paul Williams, and NATO’s Secret Armies: Operation GLADIO and Terrorism in Western Europe by Daniele Ganser.
