MIRONCHUCK NOW

Where did Azov come from, and what does a Nazi-era "stay-behind" network have to do with the war in Ukraine today?

On this episode of At the End of the Day, Jason Mironchuck is joined by retired US Air Force Colonel Roxane Towner-Watkins. She began her career in aircraft maintenance, went through ROTC at Indiana University, served at the Pentagon and at US Central Command, and was on General Franks' staff during 9/11. Since retiring she has worked through about 160 books on stay-behind networks, the intelligence services that ran them, and what she calls the "International Syndicate" that still uses them.

Operation Gladio is the name that stuck, but as the Colonel puts it, the proper term is stay-behind units: caches of weapons and trained civilians left in territory Hitler took, mapped by Reinhard Gehlen on the Eastern Front, handed to Allen Dulles at the end of the war, and repurposed under NATO. Italy's prime minister admitted Gladio's existence in 1990. Her argument is that these units were almost never used against a Soviet invasion, and were instead turned on people at home.

From there we follow the line she says never broke: Gehlen and Otto Skorzeny, the OUN, Bandera and Lebed, Yaroslav Stetsko at the White House with Reagan, and the units that appeared in Ukraine after 2014.

SHOW NOTES

• What Gladio actually was: stay-behind caches plus trained civilians, hidden inside NATO

• Operation Sunrise: General Wolff, Allen Dulles and Lyman Lemnitzer, and the ratlines that saved Gehlen and Skorzeny

• Detachment Alpha: swapping German caches for Western gear (declassified in 2014)

• The terror trail she ties to Gladio: Aldo Moro, Olof Palme, attempts on de Gaulle, JFK, Oklahoma City

• The narco network, Operation Condor and the "International Syndicate" run like a mafia family

• Indonesia and the cardinal sin of wanting to be neutral; the Rothschilds as bankers, not oligarchs

• The Vatican Bank, Sindona, Calvi, the Gray Wolves and the shooting of John Paul II

• Vietnam's mass relocation and Operation Peter Pan in Cuba

• From Bandera to Azov: Kolomoisky and the covert CIA stay-behind stations along the Donbass, 2014-2022

• Why Moscow may be rolling up a network rather than fighting a blitzkrieg, and where the war goes into 2027

These are the guest's and host's own views and research claims, discussed in conversation.

I made a prediction that very soon people that you thought were BASED will show you they aren't and that is coming to fruition. From Politico 'exposing' Young Republicans to Academic Agent returning to the mushy CENTER, the true enemy of the RW is the RW.

Trump is being heralded as the Mid-East Peacemaker even from the BEAST Hillary Clinton itself while others accuse him of being an Israeli water boy and the war that he promised to end DAY 1 still rages on in Ukraine as Zelensky BEGS for more missles to keep himself in power as Ukraine runs out of MEN.
