During the Reagan era, we created NGOs to fight communism by establishing a soft power structure to influence the world. The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) was created and split into the National Democratic Institute and the International Republican Institute. Both Democrats and Republicans were under the NED, with the intention of offering balanced perspectives as they influenced the world. But when communism fell, these NGOs didn't disband; they grew in power and money. They now see themselves as protectors of democracy, viewing any challenge to them as a challenge to democracy itself. Both Democrats and Republicans are heavily involved, even to the point where sitting members of Congress vote for money for these NGOs while sitting on them. They believe they're doing good, protecting the Western world, but it's also about the money. They tell themselves a good story.

The implications are far-reaching and concern the integrity of our democratic republic. An outgoing president took action to manufacture intelligence to undermine and usurp the will of the American people in that election. This launched what would be a years-long coup against the incoming president of the United States, Donald Trump.

I'm not sure if there was a CIA conspiracy to remove me from office, but it's possible. The CIA had a motive because I was critical of them and wanted to make changes. I can't say if there was a conspiracy, but it would be interesting for an investigative reporter to look into it. I don't think the CIA would go as far as to harm those who expose their operations nowadays.

To understand how the American government operates, consider Richard Nixon, the most popular president, who was forced to resign without a vote, replaced by Gerald Ford, the only unelected president. Nixon believed federal agencies were undermining the government. In 1972, he suggested to CIA Director Richard Helms that the CIA was involved in JFK's assassination. Shortly after, the Watergate scandal emerged, led by Bob Woodward, a former naval officer with ties to intelligence agencies. The FBI's Mark Felt was Woodward's main source, and the agencies aimed to discredit Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew, who resigned. Ford, tied to the Warren Commission, became president. This illustrates how unelected officials influence politics, undermining democracy. A similar fate befell General Michael Flynn in the Trump administration, showing the system's flaws. Ultimately, the public deserves a true democracy, not control by those who are unelected.

With the support of the CIA, it's fortunate that you weren't accepted into the organization, as you had wanted to join. We should be grateful for that, considering the seriousness of the CIA.

Democratic countries do not invade neighbors, harbor terrorism, or use weapons of mass destruction.

"In the CIA, we didn't give a hoot about democracy. I mean, it was fine if if a government was elected and would cooperate with us. But, if it didn't, then democracy didn't mean a thing to us. And I don't think it means a thing today."

Speaker 0 raises the question of CIA involvement in drug trafficking, referencing a past discussion with former Tel Aviv CIA chief of station Susan Miller and noting a reminder about Iran-Contra. They ask why the CIA would be intimately involved with drug trafficking, and mention Candace Owens discussing it in relation to the Charlie Kirk assassination. Speaker 1 answers that trafficking in drugs allows the CIA to get closer to the targets they want to reach. They point to a popular Netflix series, Narcos, which follows the hunt for Pablo Escobar, the Cali cartel, and other major cartels. They claim that, in the show, and in real life, every time the Drug Enforcement Administration gets close to its primary target, the CIA station chief steps in and ruins the investigation. They state that this happens because the CIA doesn’t care about drugs. Speaker 1 continues that the CIA cares about terrorism and communism, implying there are always some other bigger ideological concerns. Therefore, the CIA is “perfectly happy” to allow cocaine to flood into the United States in the 1980s during the Iran-Contra period, just as it was “perfectly happy” to allow Afghanistan to provide 93% of the world’s heroin once the United States began its occupation of Afghanistan.

The US has engaged in 70 regime change operations. 64 were covert, primarily led by the CIA, and 6 were overt, involving open war to topple governments. Regime change is presented as the opposite of diplomacy, focused on control or overthrow through tactics like assassination, coups, election manipulation, and creating unrest. Covert operations are defined as those where the US denied involvement, despite it being apparent to the affected population.

US politicians accuse other nations of election meddling, but the CIA has a long history of interfering in foreign affairs through military coups. In one example, the CIA orchestrated the overthrow of Iran's prime minister for nationalizing the oil industry, leading to widespread violence and the installation of a US-friendly government. Declassified documents reveal the CIA's involvement in the coup, highlighting their use of propaganda and bribery. Despite claims of no longer meddling in elections, the CIA director openly admitted to continuing such actions for "very good reasons."

I'm not with the CIA now, nor was I when I started out 25 years ago. I was with good people in the CIA when Donald Trump was elected to take the country back from globalists. Communist Chinese, the EU, Hollywood, and big banks run this country and broke its back. Forget the CIA. It's huge. Don't treat the CIA like it's mysterious or cool. Think of it like the post office. The CIA gets its talking points from me and other patriots, not the other way around. I run the CIA.

On JFK’s inauguration day, 48% of all State Department political-section employees were not actually State Department employees at all; they were CIA operatives under diplomatic cover. While parked at a US embassy, they did not answer within the State Department chain of command and acted as covert operatives for organized political warfare conducted by the CIA. Because they dominated the political section, they could set their own political policy for the country. If the State Department did not want to overthrow a regime but the CIA did, the CIA could use the embassy’s political-section bandwidth to contact dissident groups, run money to them, provide logistical support, connect them, and run a parallel operation without observing the White House National Security Council chain of command. The speaker gave examples where in some embassies 80% of the political affairs staff were CIA, not State Department at all. The speaker then notes Joe Biden’s CIA director as Bill Burns, describing Burns as a buddy of Jeffrey Epstein. It is asserted that in the 1990s Burns was the head of the political section for the US embassy in Russia, and that Burns “never worked a day at the CIA in his whole life before he’d be handed the reins to be the CIA director.” The speaker emphasizes that Burns was a State Department figure the whole time, serving as the head of the political affairs section, and questions where he was positioned “at state” when he was the head of the political affairs section.

We spoke to someone with access to hidden CIA documents about their involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The response was clear: yes, the CIA was involved. This revelation suggests that there are powerful forces within the U.S. government that operate beyond democratic control, capable of influencing elections and concealing their actions, including the murder of a president. This undermines the very concept of democracy. Trust in the government has declined since Kennedy's assassination, and those in the know, including every CIA director since 1963, have been aware of this troubling reality.

Men of character build good societies, while those solely focused on money have taken control and harmed many. Some may see this as a conspiracy involving the CIA and Israel's intelligence agency.

When I was a cadet at West Point, we had a motto: "You will not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do." However, as the former CIA director, I must admit that we did engage in lying, cheating, and stealing. It was a part of our training and it made me reflect on the essence of the American experiment.

The hidden CIA documents suggest the CIA's involvement in JFK's assassination. This revelation implies a government within a government, undermining democracy. The public's trust in the government has eroded over the years, with even former CIA directors implicated.

I'm not with the CIA now, and I wasn't 25 years ago when I started out. I was with good people in the CIA when Donald Trump was elected, working to take the country back from globalist control. We're under the control of the communist Chinese, the EU, Hollywood, and the big banks, who are running and breaking this country. Forget the CIA, it's too big to understand. Think of it like the post office. The CIA gets its talking points from me and other patriots, not the other way around. I run the CIA.

We do not choose candidates in any country, but we help candidates in democracies present themselves effectively. We do not interfere in elections now. We support peaceful political protests in all countries.

I'm not with the CIA now, nor was I when I started out 25 years ago. When Donald Trump was elected, I aligned myself with the good elements of the CIA to reclaim the country from globalist control. Communist China, the EU, Hollywood, and big banks are running and ruining this country. Forget any preconceived notions about the CIA. The CIA gets its talking points from patriots like me, not the other way around. I run the CIA.

The CIA is not just an intelligence agency, but also a covert action agency involved in overthrowing or supporting foreign governments and spreading disinformation, primarily targeting the American people. This disinformation is disseminated through the press to create an international anti-communist ideology. The goal is to justify actions like overthrowing the government of Nicaragua by linking it to a larger threat in order to gain public support.

"In some cases, they are very unwilling to come to express a view or a certain opinion on something." "This this gets to the real heart of the challenge here and the problems that we've seen is the politicization of intelligence to meet a certain objective or to influence a certain policy." "When you look at the so called intelligence that really was used to spur the Iraq regime change war." "And look at what that has cost our country in lives and treasure." "This goes all the way back to why this organization was founded." "So so, again, this is this is really what is at the heart of needs of what needs to be addressed within the intelligence community and why leadership matters so much."

Speaker 0: Have you seen local news anchors reciting it verbatim, as if democracy is the greatest thing ever? It’s become a social engineering propaganda tool that democracy is the greatest thing ever. We weren’t founded as a democracy. This country is founded as a constitutional republic. Speaker 1: There’s a line from Sweatshop Union: if democracy is so good, why are we running all over the world down people’s throats? Speaker 0: Exactly. Spreading democracy by dropping bombs just doesn’t make sense. Speaker 2: The political apparatus is set up such that government is not merit-based, but private institutions select leaders on merit. What happens if, in the future, micro sovereignties are run by the most competent person rather than a personality? Look at Lee Kuan Yew in Singapore in the 80s. His government was compensated based on economic returns and performance. Singapore is widely regarded as one of the best places to do business and as one of the freest, most open micronations. Speaker 0: Let’s start with The Sovereign Individual, the book on the table. Difficult read? Speaker 2: One of the hardest reads, in my view. It’s dry and painful, with dismal subjects. Speaker 0: An eye opener—unplugging from the matrix. It’s an orange-peeling book and was written in 1997, about twenty years before Bitcoin. Speaker 2: It predicted the emergence of anonymous digital cash, i.e., Bitcoin. It predicted the rise of narrowcasting rather than broadcasting, i.e., social media. It predicted government use of a plandemic to reinforce border integrity when things started to get weird. Speaker 0: It was prescient. Imagine reading it in 1996. The book’s first five to ten years—how successful was it? Speaker 1: I imagine they’ve sold enormous numbers more recently. The book’s sales figures suggest a Pareto effect: 10-to-1, 15-to-1 in rankings. The necessity of a post-nine world has made the authors’ insights profoundly prophetic. Speaker 2: It’s a book ahead of its time. How would you pitch it to someone who hasn’t read it? Speaker 0: The easiest pitch is to tell them upfront that it’s impossible, font too, and that it’s dense. In a short-time-preference society, reading long-form is niche. The value is unplugging from the matrix; if you have the courage to unplug, this book will ruin your life in the best possible way. It’s the one-way door toward Bitcoin. Speaker 1: Would you suggest that someone with a strong Bitcoin understanding read the book? Speaker 2: Yes. The audio is easier for some; the density is akin to a Peterson-level experience. A few have read it and shared the same unplugging moment. The book’s central idea is that after a certain realization, you cross an event horizon toward a brighter future, where finances and sovereignty are rethought. Speaker 0: The book’s numbers show how compounding matters: if you’re paying tax or inflation on savings, opting out into self-sovereign regimes like Bitcoin or jurisdictional optimization can be transformative. The example: for every $5,000 in taxable income, a 10% compounded yield over a forty-year career costs you more than $2.2 million. The answer, as the book highlights, is to move to Bermuda or switch to Bitcoin, eliminating inflation’s tax on your purchasing power. Speaker 2: The analogy: a 100-dollar bill on the ground—someone will eventually pick it up. The book frames incentives as simple, primordial drivers: people seek the easiest path to preserving wealth, and Bitcoin creates a powerful magnetism toward sovereignty. Speaker 0: The discussion then moves to a digital future: the sovereign individual, information aristocrats, and the rise of digital nomad visas. In 2020, 21 countries offered digital nomad visas; by 2025, between 43 and 75 countries are inviting people to live there for up to eighteen months, bringing income and economic value. This reflects the shift toward the “digital heaven” where physical location is less limiting, aided by crypto finance, multisig, and portable wealth. Speaker 2: The concept of “digital Berlin Walls” and border controls is challenged by the rise of nomad visas, tax competition, and capital mobility. As the state’s revenue base weakens, micro states or micro nations question how to finance themselves; land can be sold or leased to new sovereign enclaves, while existing nation-states become more like a la carte governments. Speaker 0: The discussion then turns to Moore’s Law and bandwidth, and how faster processing and information flow empower sovereign individuals. As information becomes easier to transport, people can conduct business from Bermuda, Japan, or Florida with equal ease. That power accelerates the move toward self-sovereignty. Speaker 1: The rise of cyber warfare is a counterpoint: a single actor can strike on a scale once reserved for nation-states. This creates a need to treat citizens as customers to encourage them to stay, while individuals can also defend themselves with cryptography, multisig, and secure digital infrastructure. The book’s framework contrasts magnitude of power with efficiency: the transition from medieval power projection to high-technology, efficient defense and commerce. Speaker 2: The Luddites are discussed as a historical example: when a new machine threatened skilled labor, some resisted, but the Luddites did not riot against all technology—only against those jobs at risk. The modern parallel is AI and data-entry work: will the losers and left-behinds revolt against technology, or will they adapt? The answer may lie in new governance forms where governance is more responsive to the needs of citizens who are themselves mobile and empowered. Speaker 0: The conversation returns to “government as a service” versus the nation-state. Open-market competition among micro-nations could yield better service ethics, as governments compete to deliver what citizens want, when they want it. The book emphasizes that the market should decide governance efficiency, not centralized coercion. The nation-state’s cost of enforcement rises as sovereignty disperses, making it harder to extract taxes or project power. Speaker 1: The panel discusses the role of education and personal responsibility. Reading the Sovereign Individual remains a duty, but so does practical action: multisig setup, hardware wallets, off-ramps, and building digital sovereignty with practical steps. The speakers stress the importance of small, incremental steps: five minutes a day of reading; gradual exposure; and helping others gain exposure to Bitcoin through accessible tools. Speaker 2: The “orange pill moment” is repeated: once you see the future, you cannot unsee it. The book is a catalyst for readers to pursue self-sovereignty, not as a cynical rejection of government, but as a practical shift toward a voluntary, customer-based governance model in a world of mobile populations and robust tech. The speakers emphasize that this is not a call for doom; it’s an invitation to participate in reform through education, prudent financial choices, and deliberate, long-term planning. Speaker 0: The closing notes insist: read, educate others, and become the change you want to see. The conversation underscores three pillars: information technology’s accelerating power, the emergence of micro-nations and digital sovereignty, and the imperative to align incentives toward cooperative, merchant-like behavior rather than coercive domination. The speakers leave the audience with a hopeful vision: a world of decentralized governance where governments as “customers” compete to serve, and where sovereign individuals use Bitcoin to protect and grow wealth, enabling a future with less violence and more abundance. Speaker 1: If you want to connect with the speakers, you can follow them via their channels (noting their emphasis on privacy and selective presence). The discussion ends with renewed energy: fight for the future, protect your digital life, and explore the bright orange future responsibly, with education and preparedness as your guides.

The speaker argues that whenever a country defends its own people, the United States asks, “Who owns the resources?” and if the answer isn’t The US, a coup follows. The claim is that over 80 foreign governments have been overthrown or destabilized by the United States, and that most of them weren’t dictatorships, but democratically elected governments that threatened US corporate profits. The described playbook involves the CIA funding opposition groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda, planting stories in the media, bribing generals, arming rebels, or collapsing a country’s economy, with the coup replacing the leader with a pro-US dictatorship. The overarching assertion is that this is not about democracy but about power and control. Key historical examples cited include: - Iran in 1953: Mosaddegh attempted to nationalize oil; the CIA launched Operation Ajax, orchestrated protests, paid off politicians, and installed the Shah, resulting in twenty-five years of dictatorship and torture under US protection. - Guatemala in 1954: President Arbenz redistributed land from the United Fruit Company, a US corporation; the CIA branded him a communist, conducted a coup, and Guatemala descended into a civil war with over 200,000 deaths. - Chile in 1973: Allende was overthrown in a US-backed military coup, and Pinochet’s regime tortured and killed thousands after Allende’s attempts to nationalize copper. - Congo in 1961: Lumumba sought African control of African resources; the CIA helped orchestrate his assassination and installed a brutal dictator who was supported for decades. The speaker adds that there are “dozens of others” beyond these cases, including Haiti, Iraq, Libya, Nicaragua, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Bolivia, and beyond, arguing that the motive is not fighting tyranny but profits and control. When a country attempts to exit the system or nationalize resources to reduce inequality, they threaten profits and the idea that another world is possible, so the CIA sabotages such efforts to prevent successful example-making, such as Libya. The conclusion is that many nations don’t trust the United States because “we’ve been the villains throughout most of our history.” The speaker invites readers to comment to receive a “forbidden reading list” of books and documentaries that “they never wanted you to find.”

We prioritize addressing foreign interference and democracy versus dictatorship, especially due to personal experience in authoritarian regimes.

In 2014, riots known as the rebellion occurred in Ukraine, but it was not widely known that the US was financing these riots. The riots led to a coup against Ukraine's democratically elected government, which refused to align with the West. A month before the coup, a secret call between Victoria Nuland, a high-level official in the State Department, and the US ambassador was recorded and made public. In the call, they discussed choosing a new cabinet for Ukraine, essentially picking a US-backed government before the old one was overthrown. This raises questions about democracy and the role of organizations like USAID and the CIA, which have a history of overthrowing governments, including democracies.
