2/The primary tools to facilitate arms-for-opium trafficking operations in the region were Chiang Kai-shek on Taiwan and the airliners Civil Air Transport (CAT precursor to Air America) and SEA Supply Corporation. Together these elements built up guerrilla armies in the Burmese backlands, as well as the Thai national police force. The Thai National Police was a product of the CIA's Office of Public Safety we see later in Operation Condor. 3/William Colby (who set up the Gladio style stay behind network in Scandinavian countries) came to the Golden Triangle in 1959 as CIA station chief of South Vietnam, working with Ngo Dinh Diem in forcing the population to resist the unification of Korea.

1/ Pinkerton History and the CIA
Part 2
The CIA – Empire's Invisible Fist (1947-Present)
Fast-forward to 1947: Harry Truman signs the CIA into being, a "centralized intelligence" outfit to rival the Pinkertons' eye. 2/ But where Allan Pinkerton served Carnegie, Allen Dulles—the CIA's patrician director from 1953-1961—serves the boardrooms of Boeing and United Fruit. Their toolkit? Not barges on rivers, but coups in capitals; not strikebreakers, but stay-behind saboteurs.

1/I feel compelled to once again set the record straight. I will be adding to this post throughout the day as I dig out my research. Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume wrote Forbidden Truth. It laid out what the U.S. and other governments knew about 9/11 before 9/11. FBI deputy Director John O’Neil of the NY office had mapped out the al Qaeda network and its funding. O’Neil worked on the Cole bombing in Oct 2000. He specifically said the U.S. ambassador to Yemen and CIA thwarted all attempts at discovering the truth about the bombing. Something that we see repeatedly in researching Operation Gladio. A pattern. Meet Amb Barbara Bodine. She shows up in all the odd places like Kuwait before the first Iraq War, Iraq just before the 2nd Iraq War, and Yemen during the bombing of the Cole. She was a favorite of Kissinger.

What happened to O’Neil? Why isn’t he still being vocal? He was killed in the Twin Towers on 9/11. 2/ Who is Laili Helms and why haven't you ever heard of her? Helms is not only related to the former royal family of AFG, but she married CIA director Richard Helms' nephew. She worked with CIA, majaheddin, Taliban. She arranged meeting with Mullah Mohammed Omar and the Bush administration. Topics of conversations was a pipeline with big oil, Taliban and Saudi.

The UN group "6+2 Group" was billed to the public as a peace process between the Northern Alliance and the Taliban. What it actually was how to help big oil in AFG. On May 15, 2001, there was a meeting in Berlin where the Pakistani ISI was rep'ing the Taliban and was told "Either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs". Well we now know how that turned out.

1/ Thank you to whoever sent me this story, when I went back to X to find your post on my Georgia post I couldn't find it any. X keeps resetting my feed. So evidently Georgia isn't a one off exception, its how Hyundai rolls. Keep in mind Hyundai is a subsidiary of LG. 2/ Let me first start off by talking a little about South Korea from a Gladio perspective. South Korea functions as a satellite of the US. Its KCIA was set up by the CIA, its now known as the NIS. For decades South Korea, like Taiwan was ran by Western/CIA controlled dictators.

1/ CAN WE TIE SEAN COMBS TO OPERATION GLADIO?

Well, let's see...for background, we've established that Col Paul Helliwell worked extensively with Chiang Kai-shek to establish the flow of heroin into the US covertly to fund CIA covert operations. 2/ One of the major operations was Operation Gladio. We also know that the heroin destination was primarily (initially) focused inside the black community of Harlem thanks to Paul Williams' book Operation Gladio.

1/ I ran across an article about the AT&T building that Snowden identified as a NSA spy hub in Manhattan NY. The building located at 33 Thomas Street. Has a very interesting history. First, it has no windows which is typically of intelligence facilities. Image 2/ Over the years ITT (involved in multiple coups ie Brazil/Chile/etc) and AT&T partnered in deals. ITT is notoriously known as a partner with the Nazis as revealed by Anthony Sutton and owned comm equipment throughout the world with a working relationship with the CIA.

1/ Liberty Reserve
Part 1
Has anyone ever heard of Liberty Reserve? If not, why not? It was the largest money laundering operation, at the time DOJ ever prosecuted. A US investigator observed that "if Al Capone was alive today", 2/ he'd probably have hidden his money on the virtual currency exchange, Liberty Reserve. Why not? The system, allegedly overseen by Arthur Budovsky from his base in Costa Rica, is estimated by US authorities to be "the biggest money-laundering operation in history",

1/ Good thing we all know about Operation Gladio and can recognize patterns at this point. This post mentions Standard Chartered Bank. It came up on my radar when I was researching Iran. So let's dig in. 2/ Standard Chartered comes from The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, and Standard Bank of British South Africa. The bank dates back to 1853 with James Wilson who was deployed to India to put down a rebellion against the crown "Sepoy Mutiny".
