Video Transcript AI Summary
The transcript covers two distinct live segments.
First segment (Speaker 0):
- The broadcast is from Sky Fox over Rancho Cucamonga, near Victoria Gardens, focusing on a deputy-involved incident and a subsequent high-speed motorcycle pursuit.
- The host describes a deputy being shot and a large standoff around a condominium complex; the suspect then fled in a vehicle, and a pursuit ensued.
- The pursuit begins after the suspect reportedly exited the condominium area and weaves through Day Creek Road toward the 210 Freeway, with the vehicle entering the freeway in the opposite direction at times.
- Speeds reach well into triples digits, with mentions of about 140 mph and even higher; the chase continues westbound on the 210 Freeway, with Sky Fox and ground units in pursuit.
- The host notes tense physical danger for the rider, describing his posture and proximity to surrounding traffic, and mentions a California Highway Patrol motorcycle unit attempting to intervene while near the suspect.
- At one point the suspect appears to lose control, and the motorcycle collides with or impacts a civilian vehicle; the rider does not have his hands fully on the handlebars and is seen rummaging in a backpack during the incident.
- The pursuit ends with a dramatic crash on the freeway; paramedics and sheriffs’ personnel respond, and the suspect is taken into custody with a neck brace and on-scene treatment.
- There is uncertainty about the initial deputy injury, the nature of the crime (shoplifting or burglary linked to Victoria Gardens), and whether the incident was a distraction or connected to the earlier shooting.
- The host emphasizes that eastbound 210 traffic will be heavy and likely stopped for an extended period; there is concern for the civilian involved in the crash and for the deputy who was shot.
- The segment concludes with the update that the suspect is in custody, the crash ending the pursuit, and ongoing questions about the deputy’s condition and the broader sequence of events that began with shoplifting and progressed to a deputy-involved shooting.
Second segment (Speaker 1 and Speaker 0 transition):
- The broadcast shifts to a Fox News live update with Andy Mack. Andy Mack states it is day 27 of the government shutdown, still at a standstill, describing it as the second-longest shutdown in American history.
- The coverage notes that there is attention on November 1 and SNAP benefits; the USDA indicates the well has run dry.
- Fox confirms that Vice President JD Vance will meet with Senate GOP leaders at the Capitol tomorrow for lunch as the shutdown continues.
- The segment includes a cue that more updates will follow, with a brief connection back to the Republic segment and Speaker 0, continuing the live coverage.
Overall, the transcript documents a high-speed pursuit ending in a crash and suspect custody in the Rancho Cucamonga area, with ongoing questions about injuries and the initial deputy shooting, followed by a separate political update on the ongoing government shutdown.

Speaker 0: We're live somewhere. Let me let you can fill you guys in what's going on. This motorcycle. We are in the we're still in the Rancho Cucamonga area. We're on the 210 Freeway.
We were over by Victoria Gardens. I don't have the exact address. Actually, I do have the exact address because I thought it was fake. 12346. Hollyhawk Drive.
Deputy involved shooting deputy was shot. Don't know that deputy's condition, but there was a huge standoff. Happening in that area. You know, they locked it down. They were they were looking for that suspect.
And then this guy. Apparently the suspect. Bails out of that condominium area and it was on and cracking. They were on. I believe I was Day Creek this vehicle going on the wrong way on most of the ride up to the freeway from Victoria Gardens.
If you don't know where Victoria Gardens is, you're clearly not a local, but that is a huge mall out here in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Now you can see I brought up the speeds almost immediately because I could not believe what I was seeing. He was this vehicle actually getting into the one sixties for a while there. I don't know. Somebody trying to interrupt me.
Do we are we going live? Okay. Anyways, I wish I wish the IFB was a little better. We're working our way back to the back to where we are. So the IFB should be getting better.
But we're going to keep an eye on this Pursuit. We're doing this for the Internet right now. This vehicle. That is a person apparently started as some sort of burglary robbery something at them at the mall again, not confirmed. Then some sort of foot pursuit.
Chased this guy shots were fired. A deputy from the police department of Rancho Cucamonga police department. Was shot. There was a barricade going on, then this vehicle tears out of there. Maybe the suspect, maybe a distraction, but at any rate, you can see it right now.
Those speeds, that's not a that is real. 140 miles an hour. We've seen it been good that motorcycle going faster. Sky Fox definitely keeping up with them. But as far as the ground units, they're gonna be backing off.
The helicopter staying with it. This continuing. This is westbound on the 210 Freeway. Again, watching things like this, I gotta tell you, every muscle in my body is tense. Anything happens in front of that motorcycle right now, this is going to come to a devastating end for that rider.
And, of course, don't wanna see it. I don't wanna be part of it. This suspect running, apparently running like he's running for his life because I it would venture to say after a shooting a deputy, I'm not saying a vigilant e type of justice, but this person definitely has reason to, get these types of speeds. We're continuing on. You can see it right there.
As far as law enforcement behind him, I would venture to say the only thing that's gonna be keeping up is a helicopter. Are they making calls? Are they getting other units ahead of them? I would say yes. But these high speeds well into the triple digits.
Imminently copy all. I bet. Yep. There's one of CHP. I don't wanna lose them, but I'd also don't wanna, you know, I don't wanna show too much of the CHP just because I don't wanna lose the bike.
Yes. Of course, Lisa, I can you, I can always hear. Copy all. I might not be able to hear Sandra that clearly the entire time, but I will make every effort to. Okay.
Copy. It should get better. I mean, we're we're we're getting closer to oh my goodness. Are you kidding me? Getting off the freeway.
Getting off the freeway. How do you stop that thing in time? Is he going back the other way? Of course, is. That's what I said.
Five seconds. Hopefully, he comes out of the trees. There he is. Sandra, we're taking a look at a Pursuit out here. You can see it right there.
Actually, let me give you some more information about where we are. Now, we were headed. Westbound. I mean, eastbound. No, we were headed westbound.
There we go. It just corrected itself. We were headed westbound on that 210 Freeway out of the Rancho Cucamonga area chasing this motorcycle. Who is this motorcycle? Well, this working again, I would venture to say it is correct.
Is it correct? We are not. We're still working on all the information Sky Fox. We were in the Rancho Cucamonga area right by Victoria Gardens where this there was a deputy involved shooting where a deputy was the one that was the victim and was shot. There's a huge presence out there law enforcement.
They got the condominium surrounded. While we were there, this vehicle came out of that condominium complex and the pursuit was on. Now, is this that shooting suspect? Is this a distraction? I can't fill in those blanks.
I'm gonna let the viewers kind of put those pieces together on their own. What I can tell you though is fact is that motorcycle almost immediately getting out of that condominium complex was running against traffic up Day Creek Road up to the 210 Freeway, got onto the 210 Freeway. And at one point, this motorcycle was over a 150 miles an hour on the 210. Now law enforcement, they're definitely not letting this person walk. I can guarantee you that.
The San Bernardino Sheriff's Department. They had a helicopter in the air. That one was following along with Sky Fox and on the ground. A number of units were chasing this vehicle as well. Even some of those California Highway Patrol cars were keeping up keeping up with this vehicle on the freeway.
Take a look at that. Those maneuvers Sandy. I do not want to see anybody lose their life on television, but this is one of those ones where you I I have to show it. We got to stay tight. We got to do our job.
But I am not joking when I tell you my blood is running cold. When that vehicle starts what that motorcycle starts wobbling gets so close to a lot of these cars. Anything unpredictable happens in front of that motorcycle. I don't want to see that outcome. Yeah.
For a moment there, you saw the California Highway Patrol. That's one of their motorcycle units. They're just getting up close, making their presence known. Hopefully, this driver makes the right decisions as it stands right now. Look at those numbers.
We were just coming out of the triple digits, and it does seem like he's slowing down. I hopefully hopefully, it's gonna come to an end, but you have to remember. Yeah. You have to remember that that suspect is wanted for a deputy involved shooting where a deputy was shot. So, yes, law enforcement, they are going to try to bring this to an end.
They might use some non practical ways to bring it to an end, but take a look at that, Sandy. Just moving along. Yep. Yes. Definitely.
And was the motorcycle officer maybe trying to get up close to the to the suspect to bring that suspect down? Maybe. I you know, this is one of those ones where it is just one of the you we just watch it, and I just don't wanna see anybody lose their life this afternoon, especially not on our cameras. You can see this rider clearly is very comfortable with the with the way they are handling that motorcycle, but that doesn't mean that this is any kind of safe. Right now, looks like he's bro, that's exactly what I was talking about.
That's exactly what I was talking about. Yes. And and believe me, they're going to take that suspect. He's still moving. That is a plus.
They are definitely going to take him into custody. It did look like the motorcycle did land on top of him once he was on the ground. Now I have to say, he got a number of officers down there. I can guarantee you I can guarantee you they're gonna stop the freeway, but they're also gonna start calling for paramedics. They're already calling for paramedics.
And, again, how they're gonna get there this quickly is another question. But wow, that that I'm telling you, that is definitely not the ending I wanted to see. I am hoping that that suspect survives, but what what a what a a crazy crash that was, Sandy. Yes. That's it.
Yep. They're doing paramedic stuff. Sandy? Sandra, we're getting we're getting confirmation that that is the suspect. We've got confirmation from our assignment desk that that is the suspect that it was wanted for that what started as some sort of burglary at Victoria Gardens then turned into a deputy involved shooting blocks away from that Mall.
And and then now you can see that there was a crazy pursuit on that 210 Freeway ending in that tragic crash out there. Now they the as far as we can tell, I don't wanna get too too gory because I know we are still live, but there are actual paramedics down there that are work for the sheriff's department that are administering first aid to that suspect after they did take him into custody. My question is is for for you and maybe some of the viewers is we do know that that motorcycle collided with or, you know, basically bumped into the side of a civilians vehicle. And I just don't know where that civilian's vehicle is. I'm hoping that that person is okay as well.
And again, at the time of the crash, we all saw it live. He was actually, you know, he had taken off his backpack. He what he didn't even have his hands on the on the handlebars. And he was going through his backpack for some reason while he was on the on the freeway. At any rate, coming to a crashing end, that suspect now in custody.
This is gonna be on that eastbound 210 Freeway. We're gonna be in the Rancho Cucumber Upland area. Excuse me. We're in the Upland area right now. You can see all lanes are stopped.
They may be like this for some time. There might be some traffic issues. You can see some of the first responders from the fire department, paramedics arriving. We're gonna see if they transport. Hopefully, they do transport that suspect.
But, again, what a wild and unfortunate ending to to what's been going on out here in the Rancho Cucamonga area. Well, Sandy, I'm I'm having a lot of trouble with the IFB, but I just want to, you know, say just a little bit is, you know, we don't or I personally don't know the condition of the deputy that was shot that started up pretty much all of this or put it all into motion. I I do hope that that deputy is gonna be okay. Law enforcement, they are out here in force. They were out there at that condominium in force, looking for that suspect, how he got on that motorcycle, how he made this that quick departure, you know, all of that they're gonna figure out later on.
I can tell you that fire department, you can see that's the first one arriving right there. They probably definitely have paramedics on board. We're gonna keep an eye on it to see if they or how they treat that suspect. Meaning, are they gonna put this person on a gurney, or is it gonna be something else? You but, as far as that freeway goes, also gotta put it out there is if the, Eastbound 210 is your ride today, especially through the Upland area.
I would definitely make other plans, because that freeway is gonna be closed for some time, and we're gonna wait on that ambulance and see where that suspect goes from here. Definitely. Definitely. It it yeah. Extremely reckless driving.
You know, when we got on the freeway, that's when the speeds got well into the triple digits. When he was on Day Creek making his way from the Victoria Gardens up to the 210, that was basically the entire ride was weaving through weaving back and forth through oncoming traffic. So he was driving the wrong way on Day Creek making his way up to the 210 Freeway. Once he got on that freeway, though, he really did open it up. But, you know, even the law enforcement, the California Highway Patrol, they did have some vehicles that were not keeping up, but staying close enough that they were nearby.
And then you'd saw that motorcycle officer make that attempt to maybe bring that bring this to an end. But in the but ultimately, You know, I would love to sit down or have a talk with some officers from the California Highway Patrol, especially their motorbike division because I wonder what the protocol is for something like that. That was a dangerous maneuver, but again, it they officers that are out there on patrol. They weigh their risk with the, you know, with what that suspect is wanted for at all times. And and that is what, you know, that is one of those ones that, you know, he's taking that risk knowing that this is a very wanted suspect, but I don't know what the plan was there.
I've never seen a motorcycle try to pit another motorcycle. I am moving a little bit closer in now because that suspect is not it is not fatal. I can tell you that that person is actually sitting up right now. They've got the neck brace on. They have paramedics working with him.
So he's definitely gonna be going to a hospital. There's much relief there in my voice because I just don't, you know, a day at work where we watch anybody pass not a good day at work, but this makes my day a lot feeling a lot better. That suspect in custody, and again, what a crazy crash that was. And take a look at that freeway. That is that is a number of law enforcement and some other vehicles that they are starting to basically squeeze through.
But, California Highway Patrol, they're kind of opening up one lane to get everybody, by. But how long this is gonna be here? It's gonna be some time. But all of this, you know, Sandy, you think about it. Right?
All of this over shoplifting. This all started with shoplifting. What law enforcement, what they deal with, you know, it it it astounds it it astounds all of us every day. Yeah. Definitely never know how these come to an end, and that one was very dramatic.
And it it just also we all watch it at the time of the collision. Didn't even have didn't even have his hands on the handlebars. He was going through his backpack for whatever reason while that collision happened. Again, we you know, right now, my thoughts are definitely for that deputy. Hopefully, that he will recover from
Speaker 1: Alright. Welcome back to year two live now from Fox. I'm Andy Mack. It's day number 27 of the government shutdown still at a standstill. Now the second longest shutdown in American history, and a lot of eyes right now on November 1 is that is the deadline as these snap benefits as the USDA says the well has run dry.

So what do you think it was? They flew planes into the building. Planes? More than one? Yeah.
How many? Well, I understand too, but I don't have all the details. I only heard it on the news. So it's a terrorist attack? Absolutely.

Speaker 2: Yeah. Great. Thanks.
Speaker 5: I can tell you is, as you can imagine, absolute chaos. People were running panicking just when the storm
Speaker 1: came before building collapsed.
Speaker 5: People were trying to head down south towards the World Trade Center when suddenly there was a large rumbling and the entire tower fell and collapsed to the ground. People came running north because of the smoke. It was billowing up Broadway. There's a thick black cloud of smoke. You can't even see down Broadway from the vantage point of City Hall.
I've now moved inside a building, but all the buildings along Broadway here at City Hall are being evacuated. On my way up to this building, I ran into a woman who was in Tower 2 when the plane crashed into Tower 1.
Speaker 6: Were you able to get any information from me? Did you see it happen? Yes. I was in
Speaker 1: the building. Oh my god. You're in the building? I was on the 90 Second Floor at Number 2. And I didn't see the first plane crash, but I was on the Lower Floor when the second plane crashed into Number 2.
And my brother's a photojournalist, and he's down there now. I hope he's okay. How did you
Speaker 5: how did you get out? Like I walked down
Speaker 1: 90 2 Floors, and I stopped on the 70 Something Floor because they said everything was okay, and the second plane crashed.
Speaker 5: Into the second building. Right? Yeah. I haven't seen the first stop. Of course, at this point, everyone's concern is just getting north, getting away from the World Trade Center, as well as finding out where their families are.
There are lines around the block to use pay phones. Everyone is scrambling, trying to figure out what is happening here. We will bring you more as soon as we know it. Eileen LaPalmer live. 10:10 wins outside of City Hall.
Speaker 6: Well, as much as people would like to get in or out, you will not be able to do so into the city. The Port Authority, we are reiterating, has closed all of its bridges and tunnels, that includes the George Washington Holland And Tunnel. A busy, busy place, Saint Vincent's Hospital.

Speaker 4: Oh, man. I saw it. I saw it when I was over here. It just came down. They should've took those they should've took those building down since the first bombing.
Since the first bombing, the structure, I believe the structure was not sturdy enough. That's why it came down. It only it it it it it already took a shot. You know what I'm saying? Oh, man.
I used to work in that building when I was in college. Oh, man. That's sad. The people that I know that have worked there probably dead. That is So you're a journalist?
You're a journalist as well?
Speaker 2: I I make videos and my sister called me and went right when it happened and I just I knew I had to go. I actually I actually got on tape the crashing down of the building.
Speaker 4: Man, I was in the highway by 60 Summon Street Uh-huh. When I heard about it. And I called my boss, but now I can't call nobody from the cell phone.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Still not.
Speaker 2: Jesus, man.
Speaker 7: So where were you guys?
Speaker 5: Well, we were we were working at the Fifty's Road, 1 Tree 1.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah? On the Fiftieth Floor?
Speaker 5: Like, earthquake. And
Speaker 2: the building shook? Yeah. But it hit above you. Right? So so were you able to get down in an elevator?
No. I'm upstairs. You had to walk? Yeah. Was there a total panic in the building?
Yeah.
Speaker 8: North Building from the top.
Speaker 2: Oh, What?
Speaker 8: Jumping out of the building. Jumping? Just escape, I guess, what seems to be an unbelievable fire and smoke inhalation. They had to do five or six bodies. Oh, jumping out of the building.
Oh, man. And everyone here is just I mean, it's it's a sight that doesn't you can't even describe. I I'm doing a terrible job telling you what I'm saying, but it defies words. It is the most horrible. I can now see some blue sky where the second building was, the South Building, it's not there.
I don't know how far it fell to the ground, but it crumbled and I can see blue sky when the the smoke clears. It is a horrific scene.
Speaker 9: Alright. Joan Yours work?
Speaker 2: I got a voicemail.
Speaker 9: Sorry that you had to see that. Ten ten wins reporter, Eileen LaPalmer.
Speaker 4: Who's this guy coming? City hall. I understand you moved. Eileen?
Speaker 5: Yeah. Lee, I am outside of city hall. They are they have evacuated city hall. They've evacuated all the buildings around here. They're trying to move the crowd to north.
This is already underway just after the two planes had crashed into Tower 1 and Tower 2. And then when everyone was starting to calm down and look at the smoke building billowing out and still running around trying to figure out what's going on, suddenly Tower 2 collapsed. A billow of smoke went up. The smoke started coming up Broadway. Literally, everyone started turning and running north to get away from the smoke, not really sure what's in the debris, what's in the smoke.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No. See.
Speaker 5: In that crowd in that crowd running, I ran into a woman who, as I said before, was in Tower 2. She is chill. She escaped, and she's here. I guess I
Speaker 1: was in the building. Oh my god. You're in the building. I was on the 90 Second Floor of Number 2, and I didn't see the first plane crash, but I was on the Lower Floor when the second plane crashed into Number 2. And
Speaker 5: right here. So we will set first.
Speaker 8: Power one will set first. Yes. So
Speaker 5: at this point, obviously, everyone's trying to locate their family and friends as well as get themselves to safety. The area around here at City Hall is under lockdown. All the buildings are being evacuated. Everyone is being told to move north. Eileen Will Palmer live for 10:10 wins outside of City Hall.
Speaker 9: We haven't heard yet from mayor Giuliani, but I understand that, he does plan to, address us at some point. Eileen?
Speaker 5: Yes. We are trying to locate where the mayor is. Obviously, usually, when there is crisis situations, he would be down at the office of emergency management, which is down at the World Trade Center. We cannot find him right now. The city hall is also evacuated and locked down.
Obviously, security reasons, we will let you know as soon as we know when the mayor will speak with us.
Speaker 9: Okay. As to all how all this happened, it's becoming increasingly apparent that this was a terrorist attack. President Bush as much as said so about an hour ago, what with, two planes in very short order crashing into the World Trade Center, both towers, and, the second, South Tower has now collapsed. In addition, a plane has apparently crashed near the Pentagon. There have been threats.
Obviously, all of these threats are credible today. White House was evacuated so to the treasury, the capital. And now we have a report that there has been an explosion near the US Supreme Court in Washington, that according to Fox News. Ten ten, Wayne's reporter Carol DeOria on Long Island, and I don't imagine there's much traffic moving from here to Manhattan this morning.
Speaker 8: No. I I can't imagine how I would make it to Manhattan today, but I have to tell you. You know, in Long Island, it's it's so far removed. It's a peaceful, sunny day, and yet people are absolutely critched by this. I just came over the Atlantic Beach Bridge, which is right on the Napa County,
Speaker 7: I stopped
Speaker 8: in a deli by the newspapers, and a deli that is normally busy and fuzzy with people. It was just a hush as as people listened to the radio that was on in the deli. It is I've made phone calls to people, and people are just crying because of the the sadness of the tragedy.
Speaker 9: It started out as a beautiful, bright, sunny day. And in the matter of just a a very few minutes, that was shaken along with the sense that New York is a secure place. Just to bring you up to speed on the effects on infrastructure of this episode, all of the airports nationwide are shut down. There is no air traffic in The United States, at least until 5PM today. Also, Port Authority has closed down the Lincoln And Holland Tunnels and the George Washington Bridge.
If you are a New York City Firefighter, you are requested to report to your station immediately. We need all possible help at this time. You're listening to ten ten WINDS continuing live coverage of this disaster that's unfolding this morning in New York City. And let's go to 10:10 WINDS reporter Laurie Madden with an update on the New York City tunnels. Laurie?
Speaker 5: And we just got
Speaker 10: an update from ShadowTraffic. Ly that all of the tunnels into and out of the city, we know about the Port Authority Tunnels, but on the East River as well, closed. That would be the Battery Tunnel, the Midtown Tunnel. We would assume those would be shut down. We have got the confirmation they are shut down.
All of the bridges, the East River Bridge is also coming into the city. You cannot come into the city on the East River Bridge, the Triborough Bridge, the 50 Ninth Street Bridge, Williams Williamsburg Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge. You cannot come into the city.
Speaker 1: How much time have back home? Open and that's going stop from Shadow Traffic. Okay.
Speaker 9: If your plans involve coming into Manhattan, your plan is to stay put right now. In Manhattan, he was getting ready to start what was to be a regular workday at
Speaker 7: the New York Stock Exchange. Denver, then.
Speaker 9: Ten ten wins reporter Larry Murphy, state department of finance department. Going on from his vantage point. And Larry, where are you now?
Speaker 7: Oh, Lee, I'm I'm Lafayette Street. I've walked several blocks north. I know I'm North of Canal Street, but I'm not exactly sure how far I walked into a store and they were kind enough to let me use a phone as you may or may not know how many of the the cell phones are almost impossible to use this morning. I was standing in the corner of Park Row, and I believe it was Fulton Street when we heard this massive explosion and the top of Number 2 World Trade Center came down. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but
Speaker 4: Where do you wanna
Speaker 8: I'll
Speaker 4: drop you off by
Speaker 9: the subway. Yeah. You can go.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Two ten draw on the street to take Adams. Well, is gonna be out of
Speaker 2: You're not going as far as,
Speaker 7: Atlantic. No. I think you may just be shaken up. That's cool. But, certainly, you mentioned normal work day.
I don't think they're gonna be in a normal work day in this part of Manhattan for a very long time. Alright,
Speaker 9: Larry. Speaking of the subway, ten ten winds reporter Mona Rivera has been checking out the fast transit situation. Mona? New Yorkers
Speaker 5: are hearing the word terrorist that they're angry and they're afraid. I spoke with Sonya Warner. She was taking the a train into Manhattan from Brooklyn, and she got off in fear.
Speaker 8: They're gonna attack the the subway crossing that. If they if they bomb the Pentagon and then
Speaker 1: the World Trade Center flying
Speaker 7: into the like that. It could be Okay.
Speaker 1: You know? But I'm about to get home.
Speaker 8: That's the thing. Come on by. She said

Speaker 0: Well, I leave with a big word in Washington that concerns this apparent plane crashing into or near the Pentagon, causing a huge fireball at a scene that is eerily reminiscent of what we saw on small
Speaker 11: smoke billowing up from the building. Huge clouds of smoke. So much so that commuters coming into town have pulled over to the side of a busy freeway, what is ordinarily a busy freeway, and are sitting, watching in amazement as the symbol of The United States defense establishment goes up in smoke.
Speaker 0: All highways in and around Washington DC are now jammed with traffic, as, of course, are the highways in the New York area, Lower Manhattan virtually And all
Speaker 4: cell phones are dying because of that building?
Speaker 0: Along with many other federal buildings in Washington, an evacuation underway as a precaution.
Speaker 2: Everyone's calling. That's because
Speaker 11: of this. Around the White House. The streets around the White House were blocked seconds ago. Members of the uniformed division of the Secret Service ran out to intersections and started diverting traffic. There are emergency vehicles on almost every block around the White House.
The road south of the White House has also been blocked. And as you know, the White House is being evacuated. Federal employees are standing on the street corners in and around the White House, having left the building for fear of another attack.
Speaker 0: Among the explosions in Washington this morning, one near the Supreme Court Building as we hear from Fox channel newsman Brian Wilson.
Speaker 3: I was just here in front of the capital, which by the way has been evacuated and back toward the supreme court area, we just heard a low muffled thud. It sounded like a small explosion. Sirens are going off around this city like you cannot believe. And just overhead a moment ago, something I have never seen in Washington. In the sixteen years I've been here, military jets are are now patrolling the skies over Washington DC.
Ten Ten wins coverage continues with Judy DeAngelo. Thanks a lot.
Speaker 6: Thank you, James. We are just getting word now that not only airspace lock from below ground is also the.

Video Transcript AI Summary
In 1987, two Arkansas teens, Don Henry and Kevin Ives, were murdered and placed on train tracks, exposing a cover-up involving drug smuggling, the Medellin Cartel, and the CIA. In 1972, pilot Barry Seal was arrested for smuggling explosives, but the case was dismissed due to government misconduct. Seal allegedly worked for the CIA, possibly involved in the Bay of Pigs and JFK's assassination getaway.
In 1977, Gary Betzner seemingly committed suicide. Later, Seal connected with Pablo Escobar and smuggled cocaine into Louisiana, then Mena, Arkansas, allegedly paying off local officials, including then-governor Bill Clinton. Federal investigations were allegedly stonewalled. In 1982, Congress passed the Boland Amendment to stop Reagan's support for the Contras. Seal became an informant, providing evidence of Sandinista involvement in drug trafficking.
In 1984, Seal photographed Escobar and others loading cocaine in Nicaragua. The cartel put a bounty on Seal, and crack cocaine use exploded in the US. Seal was murdered in 1986. Investigations into the Iran-Contra affair revealed connections between the Contras, drug trafficking, and the CIA. In 1996, the San Jose Mercury News published "Dark Alliance," linking the CIA to the crack epidemic, leading to journalist Gary Webb's ostracization and suicide. The CIA admitted to working with drug traffickers but denied direct involvement in the crack epidemic.

Speaker 0: 1987. Shortly after midnight, two teenage boys armed with a flashlight and a point two two caliber rifle go late night hunting around their hometown of Alexander, Arkansas. The boys, 16 year old Don Henry and 17 year old Kevin Ives, would never make it back home. Beaten, murdered, and then later placed on railroad tracks so their bodies would be mangled by an oncoming freight train. The brutal and mysterious deaths would expose a cover up by the local prosecutor, leading researchers into a rabbit hole involving international drug smuggling, the Medellin Cartel, three US presidents, and the CIA.
July first, nineteen seventy two. A DC four airplane carrying over 13,000 pounds of explosives is seized at a regional airport in Louisiana, allegedly conspiring to smuggle these explosives into Mexico to aid in the overthrow of Cuban prime minister Fidel Castro. Nine suspects are arrest in connection to the plane. One of those arrested is 33 year old Louisiana resident and professional TWA pilot, Barry Seal. Barry was a prodigy.
Getting his pilot license at just 16, his piloting skills were so remarkable. His own mentor regarded him as being a first cousin to a bird. After leaving high school, Berry would begin flying for the US military, where he furthered his already exceptional skills as a member of the eighty second Airborne Green Berets. In 1964, while still serving in military, Seal also began working as a commercial pilot for Howard Hughes' Transworld Airlines, a position he held at the time of his arrest. After being arrested and held on a $50,000 bond, the case against Berry would end up being dismissed after the government prosecutor tried to submit an AR one eighty rifle as trial evidence.
This rifle was inadmissible. It had nothing at all to do with the charges, leading the US Court of Appeal to call this act intentional misconduct by the government, almost as if the prosecutor was trying to throw the case on purpose. Well, according to Barry himself, his colleagues and his family, in between receiving his pilot license in 1955 and his arrest in '72, Barry had begun working as a CIA contract pilot, allegedly involved in not only the Bay of Pigs invasion and covert operations in Asia, but also in piloting a getaway plane out of Dallas the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated. While there's no official evidence or confirmation of this, outside of the fact he was a special forces pilot with a secret level clearance, his 1972 arrest serves as the earliest concrete indication that Berry's motives align directly with those of the agency.
Nineteen seventy seven. A crop duster from Hazen, Arkansas named Gary Betzner is driving to go get ice cream with his wife and young daughter. While driving, his car breaks down over the White River Bridge. Betzner gets out of his El Camino, opens the hood, and then suddenly ends his own life by jumping off the side of the bridge. He'll be back.
Two years later, the Sandinistas, a left wing guerrilla group backed by communist nations, successfully overthrow the CIA backed Samosa regime in Nicaragua. Ronald Reagan announces his presidential campaign with a promise to assist anti communist movements around the globe. And one month later, a local narcotics unit, in collaboration with the United States Drug Enforcement Agency, search Barry Seale's airplane when he lands at Golison International Airport in Honduras. The narcotics unit was expecting to find 100 kilos of cocaine aboard. No drugs are found, only an a r one eighty rifle is discovered.
This rifle gets Barry and his copilot arrested. After not finding any drugs aboard the aircraft, the DEA instructs the narcotics unit to check Barry's plane tires for mud. This would lead to the revelation that earlier that day, Seal had landed at an island off the coast of Honduras where one passenger departed the plane carrying a large green duffel bag. Three days later, on December 15, members of that narcotics unit locate this departed passenger who is then arrested for 17.5 kilos of cocaine. Now facing both gun and drug charges, Barry Seal would spend the next seven months imprisoned.
But on 07/28/1980, he's freed on lack of evidence. Barry himself claims he had to actually bribe his way out of jail. On his flight back home on board a commercial airplane, Barry finds himself seated next to international drug smuggler Roger Reeves. It would be through Reeves that Barry would connect with Pablo Escobar and the Ochoa brothers or the Medellin Cartel.
Speaker 1: Now listen to me. All the people you ever heard of Free Basin, have you ever heard of anybody blowing up?
Speaker 0: The early nineteen eighties marked a new chapter in how cocaine was viewed in America. It wasn't just a substance anymore. It was a symbol, the social drug of the elite. Park Coke? Yeah.
I'm doing Park Coke. With films like Scarface making it cool to do Coke, the drug becomes a cultural phenomenon. Cocaine was everywhere, from the nightclubs of Los Angeles to the high powered offices of Wall Street. And one of the most pivotal figures in this rapidly growing drug trade was Barry. After connecting with Pablo Escobar, Barry had begun flying cocaine into Louisiana and had a system where he would parachute the cocaine in remote areas of the Louisiana swamp to be picked up by a helicopter ground team who would then bring the drugs to the distributors.
According to Barry himself, in the early nineteen eighties, he was making over 1,500,000 every trip. And according to the DEA, Barry's organization had over 19 aircraft, two ocean going vessels equipped with helipads, and at its peak employed around 60 people. Although Barry lived and initially operated Louisiana, sometime around late nineteen eighty, he would move all of his critical smuggling operations, particularly his aircraft to the Mena Airport in Mena, Arkansas. Mena's remote location offered more security away from the surveillance of law enforcement agencies in Louisiana. The Louisiana state police had been out to get Seal since his involvement in the 1972 sting operation that got thrown out over the rifle.
Even at one point, fining him $5,000 for accidentally hitting a power line while transporting a mall Santa Claus. Seal liked the fact he was evading police. He allegedly ran into a state police agent on the streets of Baton Rouge and started making fun of the department's efforts to catch him doing something illegal. This cop's stupid as fuck. He would also routinely wave a police agent spying on him and once in 1977, tried to pull over a Louisiana state police trooper for speeding.
To put Barry's move into perspective, in 1980, Baton Rouge, where Barry lived, was home to around 200,000 people. Mina's population was around 5,000. On top of this, Barry's partner, Roger Reeves, said while Barry still lived in Louisiana, he insisted on operating out of Mina, Arkansas because he, quote, couldn't be caught, that it was impossible for Barry to be arrested while in Mena. This luxury though would come at a price of a hundred and $25,000 every time he landed, the money presumably moving through local government officials. Barry also made frequent references to having lunch and dinner with the governor of Arkansas, then future president Bill Clinton.
Bill Clinton's bodyguard, Arkansas state trooper L. D. Brown, would also confirm Barry Sills relationship with Bill. But operating at Amina would bring about its own problems. Both the FBI and the DEA had been watching Barry since at least the late seventies.
And not only had extensive knowledge of his drug smuggling, but even went as far as to wiretap pay phones he was known to use. IRS agent William Duncan managed to get testimony from individuals around Mina directly involved with laundering SEAL's drug profits. He, along with Arkansas State Police investigator, Russell Welch, who was investigating Barry's operations in Mina, had more than enough evidence to move forward with indictments. But no matter what they found, no indictments would ever come. Allegedly stonewalled by then Western Arkansas US Attorney, Asa Hutchinson.
Russell Welch in particular had concluded that Barry was smuggling weapons to Nicaragua and being allowed as a reward to fly back into America with a load of cocaine. Welch claims that two FBI agents told him to ignore these findings.
Speaker 2: The FBI agents, Tom Ross and Floyd Hayes, when they obviously when I thought they were trying to tell me of something illegal going on without telling me what to do with it, I assumed that they wanted me to monitor and investigate. It turned out to be eventually was that they were telling me to ignore.
Speaker 0: In 1982, Congress passes the Boland Amendment, The first in a series of legislative actions designed to stop the Reagan administration and the CIA from supporting the Nicaraguan Contras. The Contras were a faction of right wing rebel groups opposing the new socialist Sandinista government that assumed power following the end of the Smolson regime. President Reagan, who despised the Sandinistas, once called the Contras the moral equivalent of America's Founding Fathers. However, this amendment was passed by Congress because of growing foreign policy concerns regarding The US interjecting into an ongoing civil war and the Contras involvement regarding human rights abuses. Around this time, a friend of Barry Seal's from high school named Kenneth Webb was contacted by Louisiana State Police.
The Louisiana State Police coerced Webb to work for them in capturing Barry Seal. They threatened that if he would not cooperate, they would essentially make up charges such as conspiracy to ruin his life. At the time, Kenneth wasn't even living in Louisiana. But under the threat of having his life ruined, Webb returned to his home state in early nineteen eighty three and began working for Barry Seal as an informant for the state police. According to Kenneth Webb, there were multiple instances of the Louisiana state police lying about his experience working with Seal and reporting these lies to the DEA.
Speaker 1: I was sent on a stack of reports that I supposedly had made, And I was just told to initial each page and not, you know, read it. Well, I began to read Spirey. And I saw things there that I was supposed to have said and done or seen or whatever, which were not true. Absolutely lies. One of the secretaries brought one of mister Seale's associates and I a box of white a plain white box, okay, of doughnuts.
And when I read that in the DEA report, was nothing like that at all. The box was supposed to have been taped and double taped. I opened it, and I saw drugs. And I don't I don't even know what drugs look like. Alright, I mean, you know, I saw drugs in there.
And this was in a report. And so, I objected, and I was told to shut up. I was told that, I needed to remember the original deal that I was told about, and, shut up, in other words.
Speaker 0: -Who told you this?
Speaker 1: Several different agents. Lieutenant Butch Mollin, Louisiana narcotics, and sergeant Jack Krittingter.
Speaker 0: At the same time, Seal was also indicted in South Florida for attempting to smuggle in 1,200 pounds of methaqualone pills, famously known as Quaaludes. And in 1982
Speaker 3: And in 1982, the US government schedule won them. No shit. You can't even buy them anymore.
Speaker 0: But Seal himself wasn't actually arrested. It was two pilots he employed that when given the opportunity, flipped on Barry to avoid a jail sentence. Seal was found guilty in Florida in February of nineteen eighty four and sentenced to ten years in prison. But Barry, attempting to avoid his significant prison time, gets out on an appeal bond and immediately decides to become a witness. A month earlier, the CIA, with approval from the Reagan administration, had begun mining Nicaraguan harbors to disrupt the Sandinista's ability to receive aid.
The news of the CIA's mining operations resulted in intense scrutiny from the media. It also resulted in the Sandinista government suing The United States at the International Court of Justice, which ruled in the favor of Nicaragua, citing violations of international law. The US rejected the court's rulings, arguing that its actions were part strategy against the spread of Soviet influence in the Western Hemisphere. Congress also passed a second Boland amendment to stop Reagan from further abusing loopholes from the first. In the middle of all of this, Barry Seal was trying his best to become an informant.
After the DEA laughs at his offer to cooperate under little to no supervision, Barry reaches out to a US Attorney in Baton Rouge, Stan Bardswell, somebody Barry knew from grade school. Bardswell declined to even meet with Seal, calling his request too cryptic. Louisiana state police agents would later say they were confused as to why Bardswell didn't accept Seal's offer. So running out of options, Barry turns to his lawyer, Richard Veneste. In March, Veneste gets Barry in contact with vice president George Bush and the federal drug task force who quote, embraced him as an undercover informant.
Fidesse would later go on to be the democrats chief counsel on the senate Whitewater investigation where there he defended Bill Clinton against allegations of wrongdoing. He would also strangely later deny that he ever helped Barry Seal become a government informant, contradicting earlier statements he made to the Wall Street Journal. Barry, now in contact with the vice president's drug task force, flies to DC and discusses his smuggling operations, the millions he was making smuggling cocaine into United States and his work with the Medellin cartel. But what really caught the attention of George h w Bush and the Federal Drug Task Force was Seal's claims that the Sandinista government in Nicaragua was participating in the cocaine trade. According to Seal, Escobar and the Medellin cartel had arranged to share a portion of their drug profits with the Sandinistas in exchange for use of an airfield in Managua.
President Reagan, after the Bolan amendment, was still looking for any way to grow public support for the Nicaraguan Contras and for potentially being able to provide evidence of the Sandinistas aiding drug smugglers down in Nicaragua. Barry Seal finessed his way out of his Florida charges. He went from major drug smuggling felon to star informant overnight. Barry, now working directly with the DEA and the Florida Drug Task Force on federal orders, gets in contact with Jorge Ochoa and makes a deal to move 3,000 kilos of cocaine into America. Arrangements are made to get Barry's favorite plane, the fat lady, outfitted with cameras to capture evidence against members of the cartel.
These cameras would end up being installed by CIA technicians. And what would follow has been labeled the greatest undercover operation in the DEA's history.
Speaker 4: Is there anyone out there who still isn't clear about what doing drugs does? Okay. Last time.
Speaker 0: On 06/24/1984, Barry Seal flies his beloved c one twenty three aircraft down to the lost Brasilia civilian airfield in Nicaragua. During the pickup, the CIA camera successfully photographed Seal, Pablo Escobar, and Jose Gacha of the Medellin Cartel, and a man named Frederico Vaughan loading cocaine onto the aircraft. These classified photos provided concrete evidence of Escobar's involvement in drug trafficking and also implicated the Nicaraguan government in the drug trade. As Frederico Vaughan was said to have been an aid to one of the top officials in the socialist Sandinista government. After successfully transporting the plane load of cocaine to Homestead Air Force Base in Miami, Drug Agents began taking control of the shipment.
Within days, Pablo Escobar, Jorge Ochoa, Frederico Vaughan, and eight others are indicted, charged with drug trafficking, and are officially wanted by the US government. The initial DEA plan was to keep these photos classified, blame the missing drugs on drivers being arrested to cover for Barry, and to have Barry continue to work with the cartel in hopes to eventually arrest the leaders in an area where extradition would be easier. But within three weeks, news of this operation is leaked to the press. And the cartel, now realizing that Barry Seal has turned on them, put a 6 figure bounty on his head. By this time, it's estimated that sales of crack cocaine in The United States had surpassed the sales of all other drugs including marijuana.
When dealers went from selling cocaine to selling crack, the drug exploded. Turning coke into crack was a fairly simple process that had extremely dramatic effects. Crack was more readily available to use, almost like smoking a cigarette. Something you could do in your car on the way to work. You start to feel the effects almost immediately after smoking it.
Crack was more pure than coke, so the effects were amplified. And most importantly, it was extremely cheap. You no longer needed 50 or a hundred dollars to get high. You only needed $5. There were even some dealers selling $1 hits.
Crack essentially democratized cocaine in America with over two percent of Americans at the time admitting they use cocaine or crack cocaine on a regular basis. And with the influx of users came an influx of dealers.
Speaker 5: Dealers. Just get a job, they say. You could be like Calvin.
Speaker 3: There is something different about him. Find the ways working. Welcome to McDonald's.
Speaker 0: May I
Speaker 3: help you?
Speaker 5: That was minimum wage, $3.35 an hour. And then the government taking taxes out of that. My man came to me and he said, I gotta wait for you to make some money.
Speaker 3: Come in. Come spend the rest of your money.
Speaker 5: This is what we were waiting for. It was like the gold rush. It was like a gold rush that hit the hood. Fuck Calvin, man.
Speaker 0: Kids as young as 15 and 16 were essentially becoming drug kingpins overnight. But it's important to note that the public knowledge regarding the harmful effects crack cocaine were still emerging. In the early eighties, cocaine was viewed as relatively safe. One could argue as Barry Sill did that he didn't know the harmful effects his trafficking would cause in part on American citizens. There really was almost no way of knowing the impact that crack would have.
Speaker 5: Somebody gonna some somebody gotta do it. Might as well be me that capitalized off of it.
Speaker 0: Now with his cover blown, Barry Seal could no longer go back to Nicaragua for his own safety. While the DEA and the Florida Drug Task Force took Barry Seal on as a witness and coordinated the covert operation, he was still being actively investigated by the Louisiana and Arkansas authorities. And in October of eighty four, a grand jury in Louisiana begins interviewing witnesses against Seal. One of those witnesses is Kenneth Webb, who under his own admission lies to the federal grand jury about the work he did with Seal.
Speaker 6: Have you appeared before a grand jury? Yes. Did you tell the grand jury the truth? No. By admitting that he lied to a federal grand jury, Ken Webb is confessing to a felony crime.
Purge me.
Speaker 0: The federal grand judge would end up rejecting Webb's request to recant his testimony. In November, federal and state officials investigating Barry Seal in Florida and Louisiana meet twice to try and settle differences between agencies. While Barry did manage to work his way out of his Florida charges, thanks to his undercover work, authorities in Louisiana were still out to convict him on every charge they could. Florida officials wanted Seal to testify against other smugglers down in Florida. And helping Barry get out of his Louisiana charges seemed like a pretty good way to secure his testimony.
Officials in Arkansas were still being stonewalled because that state is a fucking mess. To try and combat the accusations levied against him in the Louisiana grand jury, Seal had reached out to a local Baton Rouge Reporter and filmed an hour long special that aired in November of nineteen eighty four. The special goes into detail about his work with DEA, his undercover operation down in Nicaragua, and the charges being stacked against him. In the special, Seal denies ever trafficking drugs outside of this covert operation and simply says he's an aviation consultant that the Louisiana State Police is targeting for personal reasons. After the second meeting between Louisiana and Florida officials, they come to an agreement in December of eighty four.
The Louisiana Drug Task Force would permit Barry to continue working with Florida authorities as he was said to be the primary witness on multiple drug cases and had agreed to impose on seal only the maximum sentence he would receive in Florida with both sentences running concurrently. No matter what he was convicted for in Louisiana, he would receive no additional prison time. Barry had already been sentenced to ten years in Florida But after getting out on the appeal bond, working with the DEA on the undercover operation down in Nicaragua and spending the first half of nineteen eighty five again running undercover operations for the DEA testifying against drug dealers, cartel members, and even Turks and Caicos officials, the judge in Florida, Norman Rucker, sended Seal to time served and three years probation in October of nineteen eighty five. Barry Seal was almost a free man. When Louisiana authorities got word that Barry had only been sentenced to probation, they were upset.
The Louisiana authorities had invested hundreds of thousands of dollars investigating Barry's seal and they didn't want to come away empty handed. They expected the judge in Florida to keep his initial sentencing.
Speaker 7: The type of settlement that I wanted to reach, whether they're happy or not, you'll have to ask them.
Speaker 6: You pleading guilty? Yeah.
Speaker 7: I'm pleading guilty.
Speaker 6: You going to serve any time?
Speaker 7: I don't think so.
Speaker 4: That the sentence will not be reduced.
Speaker 7: And as a result, he will he will serve ten years or the appropriate portion
Speaker 4: of that under the parole guidelines.
Speaker 0: What do
Speaker 7: you base that view on? Just based on prior experience. I just have a feeling that he's not in a position. He has he's got no reason to change it.
Speaker 0: Unfortunately for Seal, there was still a 6 figure contract on his head from the cartel and despite offers to enroll in the witness protection program, he declined because he didn't want to be away from his family and felt secure enough in Baton Rouge where he had hired bodyguards. On 12/20/1985, the Associated Press runs a bombshell article written by Brian Barger and Robert Perry, linking the Nicaraguan Contras to the drug trade. That morning, Barry Seal goes for final sentencing in the Louisiana case. He expects essentially nothing to change, thanks to the existing agreement between Louisiana and Florida authorities. But Louisiana federal judge Frank Palazzola didn't see CLS favorably as the judge in Florida did, saying, drug dealers like mister Seal are the lowest, most despicable people I can think of.
Then he sentenced Seal to probation, a $35,000 fine, restricted travel, and most surprisingly, six months at a public Salvation Army halfway house, and says that if Seal was to have armed bodyguards, he could be in violation of his probation and charged with a crime. Seal asked him why if the bodyguards have legal permits to carry their weapons. Palazzolo responds with,
Speaker 6: you take your chance mister Seal.
Speaker 0: Seal's Baton Rouge attorney Lewis Unglesby tried to get judge Palazzola to reconsider.
Speaker 8: We begged him to let him go somewhere else, you know, Florida. We had an arrangement for him to go to Florida where they thought he would be safe, He thought he would be safe. Wouldn't be known exactly where he was.
Speaker 1: Judge Palazzoola said no.
Speaker 8: Didn't wanna hear about him.
Speaker 9: He said he, you know, it was only gonna be for six months and that he could, you know, he handle that, he'd be okay for that six months. He was worried about them breaking his probation. He knew that was a possibility. But he thought he could do the six month with ease.
Speaker 0: On 02/09/1986, Barry arrives at the Salvation Army halfway house in Baton Rouge around 6PM like he had for the past two weeks. According to his secretary, that day Barry was busy trying to find a way to get the Playboy channel in the halfway house for all the guys staying there. As he parked his car in the halfway house parking lot, two men armed with a MAC 10 sun machine gun opened fire on Barry Seal's car, killing him instantly.
Speaker 6: Did they advise, you and the court in private session prior to his sentencing that if he were placed in the Salvation Army that his life would most certainly be in jeopardy?
Speaker 4: They probably did.
Speaker 0: There are many widespread theories and allegations against the cartel and the CIA regarding the killing of Barry Seal. Most popular being that inside Seal's trunk, the day he was killed, contained George h w Bush's personal phone number. This is hard to verify as the content of his trunk was immediately confiscated by the FBI according to Louisiana police that were on the scene. After his death, Barry Sills lawyer, Louis Unglesby, allegedly told Richard Sharpstein, a lawyer that was representing one of the Columbians that was involved in Barry Sills murder, that Unglesby had once got into an argument with Barry because he felt he wasn't being completely open about his dealings. Unclesby said, Barry placed a phone call to vice president Bush directly and argued with him, saying if you don't get these IRS assholes off my back, I'm going to blow the whistle on the Contra scheme.
Three weeks later, he was dead. Richard Sharpstein argued that his client and his co conspirators were simply acting as soldiers being directed by colonel Oliver North, a staff member on the National Security Council during the Reagan administration. A man who would soon become the face of the Iran Contra affair. We will probably never know the full truth regarding Barry Seal. What we do know is that even after his death, the operations involving Barry didn't suddenly stop.
Speaker 10: Their worst terrorists, the Red Brigades. The Sandinistas have even involved themselves in the international drug trade. I know every American parent concerned about the drug problem will be outraged to learn the top Nicaraguan government officials are deeply involved in drug trafficking. This picture secretly taken at a military airfield outside Managua shows Federico Vaughan, a top aid to one of the nine commandantes who rule Nicaragua loading an aircraft with illegal narcotics bound for The United States. No, there seems to be no crime to which the Sandinistas will not stoop.
This is an outlaw regime.
Speaker 0: Most of what president Reagan just said is not true. The airfield outside Managua is not a military airfield. It's a civilian airfield that has an area for military planes. But the real problem is how he addresses Federico Vaughan. Vaughan is the smoking gun that directly links the Sandinista officials to drug trafficking.
The problem is the only thing linking Vaughn to the Sandinistas is Barry Seal. The federal prosecutor in Miami said there was no further evidence outside of Barry Seal's words that Vaughn was an aid to a government official. The Nicaraguan Sandinista government themselves came out and said Frederico Vaughan worked as a manager for an export company run by the government but had left years before the covert operation took place and was never an aid to any government official. The DEA later admitted that they didn't even suspect the istas of drug trafficking. And most strangely, the phone number for Frederico Vaughn traced back to a house rented out by the United States embassy.
And critics even then were alleging that the CIA set up the Frederico connection in order to discredit the Sandinista government. While this is impossible to prove, if Barry Seal wasn't working with the CIA, then he managed to not only fool the CIA, but the DEA and the White House, all to avoid a ten year prison sentence. On 10/05/1986, gets shot down over the Nicaraguan jungle by Sandinista forces. One man parachutes out of the plane. Among the wreckage, military equipment, including rifles and explosives are found.
The lone survivor, Eugene Hossenfoss, confesses to being there under contract for the CIA to supply the Contras with weapons and supplies. The CIA initially denies all involvement. A photograph of Hossenfoss surrounded by Sandinista soldiers quickly gets international attention. This image served as a visual confirmation of the covert US efforts to support the Contra rebels. And as it would turn out, the plane that was shot down that day over Nicaragua was Barry Seal's beloved fat lady.
One month later, a Lebanese magazine publishes a bombshell report uncovering that the Reagan administration had secretly been selling arms to Iran in direct violation of an official embargo. The secret arms sale was aiming to do two things, facilitate the release of American hostages held in Lebanon and generate untraceable funds to support the Contras down in Nicaragua. The Reagan administration hoped to use the proceeds from these sales to circumvent the Boland amendment. If congress didn't know about the sales to begin with, they wouldn't ask about the money. Three weeks after the magazine's release, attorney general Edwin Meese holds a press conference where he confirms for the first time publicly that money from that arms sale was diverted down to the Nicaraguan Contras.
Speaker 11: Certain monies were taken and made available to the forces in Central America opposing the Sandinista government there.
Speaker 0: How much money is there? We
Speaker 11: don't know the exact amount yet. Our estimate is that it is somewhere between 10 and $30,000,000.
Speaker 0: The same day, Reagan's national security adviser, John Poindexter, resigns amid the scrutiny. And president Reagan fires lieutenant colonel Oliver North, who had just spent the last few days shredding enough important documents, he broke the government shredder. In April 1987, the CBS program West fifty seventh airs an episode that sheds light on John Hull's farm and his alleged connection to the Iran Contra affair. Before this program aired, John Hull was relatively unknown. He was an American expat farmer living in Costa Rica, where he owned a large farm near the Nicaraguan border.
Hull's farm reportedly served as a crucial operational base for contra rebels fighting the Nicaraguan, Sandinista government with allegations that his ranch was being used for arm and drug smuggling. For several years, the local press down in Costa Rica had identified Hull as a CIA liaison to the Nicaraguan rebels. John Hall was working directly for the CIA, had been since the early seventies, and was Oliver North's direct connection to the Nicaraguan Contras. John Hall laughed at these accusations. But was there any other evidence to suggest that there was a CIA connection down in Nicaragua relating to the Contras?
Well, you've probably seen this clip.
Speaker 10: Not at all, mister Truett and I and I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.
Speaker 0: But I doubt you've seen this one.
Speaker 10: We have a gentleman down in Nicaragua who is on contract to the CIA advising supposedly on military tactics, the Contras.
Speaker 3: Mister president, you are implying then that the CIA in Nicaragua is directing the Contras there.
Speaker 10: I'm afraid I misspoke when I said a CIA head in Nicaragua. There's not someone there directing all of this activity.
Speaker 0: In May 1987, congressional hearings begin aiming to delve deeper into the Iran Contra affair. Former CIA director William Casey, who's implicated in the scandal, dies the first day of the hearings. These hearings, broadcasted nationally, bring to light the intricate details of the secretive US operations. Witnesses, including key figures from the Reagan administration, testify over the course of several months. The most notable of these testimonies is from lieutenant colonel Oliver North, who made several statements that were highly controversial and contributed significantly to Iran Contra's notoriety.
He admitted under oath to misleading congress, destroying evidence and falsifying records to hide the administration's support for the Nicaraguan rebels.
Speaker 10: That's why the government of the United States gave me a shredder. But your job
Speaker 0: And famously declared, I lied every time I met the Iranians. On the twenty fifth day of congressional hearings, two protesters from Baltimore began shouting, ask about the cocaine.
Speaker 10: Not to let the ship in.
Speaker 0: They were both fined $200 During the congressional hearings, Oliver North also admitted that in the months leading up to the Iran Contra scandal, he was telling his friends that the Reagan administration was getting ready to use him as the fall guy. And fall he did. Under immunity, Oliver North took the blame for almost everything involving the scandal, absolving both Reagan and vice president Bush of any significant fault. And because of the nationwide notoriety that his testimony garnered, his subsequent criminal conviction was overturned because it was impossible for him to get a fair trial. It wouldn't be until North's nineteen ninety one memoir when he finally asserted that president Reagan was fully aware of the Iran Contra operations, a revelation that came way too late to alter the narrative.
It also wouldn't be until 1993 that North's personal notebooks were finally made public. While heavily censored, the notebooks revealed many things. Most importantly, several references to a Freddie Vaughan, including a 07/06/1984 entry, Freddie Cumming in late July. This entry, just eleven days after Barry Seal went on a sting operation and captured photos of an apparent Sandinista official loading cocaine onto his airplane named Frederico Vaughn. Following the reversal of Oliver North's conviction and vice president Bush's ascension to the presidency, the legal consequences for those implicated were presidential pardon, presidential pardon, presidential pardon, presidential pardon, presidential pardon, conviction overturned, granted immunity, granted immunity, presidential pardon, and probation.
Only significant player in the Iran Contra affair that served any time at all was Thomas g Clines, a CIA officer that was sentenced to sixteen months in prison for tax evasion. Independent counsel Lawrence Walsh noted that there was a pattern of deception and obstruction by Bush and other senior Reagan administration officials. And in issuing the pardons, president Bush appeared to have been preempting being implicated himself by evidence that might come to light during subsequent trials. Now that everybody was pardoned, whatever evidence there was that Bush was involved disappeared. This
Speaker 4: is your brain. This is drugs.
Speaker 0: Three weeks after the Iran Contra hearings were wrapping up, another scandal was brewing down in Bill Clinton's Arkansas. Two hours east of the MENA Airport, the bodies of Don Henry and Kevin Ives are hit by a freight train around 04:25AM. The train crew had attempted to stop the train but were unable to before colliding with the bodies. By 04:40AM, police and emergency services arrive on the scene. EMTs note that the condition of the blood suggested it had deoxygenated, leading them to conclude that the boys had likely died prior to the train's impact.
The official cause of death, ruled by state medical examiner, Fahmi Malik, was accidental death as a result of marijuana intoxication, saying the boys had smoked the equivalent of 20 marijuana cigarettes and fell asleep on the train tracks. Before he had ruled the deaths accidental, he had also alleged that the boys may have purposely laid down in front of the train. The parents of the boys were a little skeptical, especially given that the train crew had spotted the boys more than a hundred feet out and had begun blaring its air horn. Doctor Malik had a history of giving strange rulings, including one instance where he ruled a decapitated man's death as natural causes due to complications with a stomach ulcer. When no head was found at the scene, doctor Malik said the man's dog ate his head.
Doctor Malik said he tested the dog's vomit and found pieces of the man's brain and skull. The head was later found in a trash can a few blocks away. Another instance was when a woman had been hit in the face with a piece of concrete after yelling racial slurs and throwing a beer can at a black man, died during her reconstructive surgery. The concrete had damaged her teeth and nose, but didn't cause any life threatening injuries. During the surgery, however, the nurse anesthetist had issues transferring breathing tubes, causing the woman to lose oxygen, ultimately leading to a heart attack.
Doctor Malik ruled this death a homicide by blunt force trauma, leading to the man that threw the concrete, being tried for murder and exonerating the nurse from any male practice. That nurse was Bill Clinton's mother. The families of the boys hire additional personnel to get a second opinion, as well as a private investigator to find out what really happened to their children. The private investigator would just end up being stonewalled by local authorities. A second autopsy, conducted by a forensic pathologist, however, revealed that the THC levels in the boys was likely the result of one marijuana cigarette and also that the boys had multiple injuries unrelated to the train.
Kevin's body had head injuries that matched the butt end of a rifle, and Don's body had multiple stab wounds in his back which matched markings on his shirt. The forensic pathologist added that doctor Malik had destroyed the boy's body so badly during his initial autopsy that they could have had additional injuries, saying, I've performed thousands of autopsies and have never seen anything like this. A former employee at the crime lab that worked on the original autopsy told reporters he mentioned the stab wound to doctor Malik and was told, quote, don't worry about it. Media coverage on Malik's botched autopsy and strange rulings led to a massive public outcry calling him to be removed from office. Bill Clinton defended Malek by saying Malek was overworked and underpaid.
Malek got a raise. Prosecutor Dan Harmon and his assistant prosecutor Richard Garrett reached out to the boys' families, promising to find whoever was responsible for the boys' murders. Dan Harmon had managed to convince judge John Cole to appoint him as special prosecutor on the grand jury investigation into the boys' murders. During the grand jury investigation, two of the murder witnesses were themselves murdered. One Keith McCaskill told his story to assistant prosecutor Richard Garrett.
After telling his story, reportedly told his friends and family leading up to his death that he suspected he would be the next victim because he, quote, knew too much. He was stabbed a 15 times. Richard Garrett said he believed Keith's death was just a coincidence and didn't have anything to do with the boys they found on the tracks. Ultimately, the grand jury was brought to a close on the last day of 1988 with nobody charged along with all evidence and reports being suppressed. In total, six witnesses would end up being killed that year in Arkansas.
And after years of independent investigations and new officials coming in trying to investigate, but constantly getting stonewalled and threatened, the cover up of the boys' murders slowly begins to unravel. Russell Welch provides John Brown, a new detective who was investigating the boys' murders, with an audio tape. Testimony from a confidential informant saying the boys' murders may have something to do with the continued drug smuggling operations out of Mena, Arkansas, over a year after the death of Barry Seal. Residents in and around Alexander, Arkansas had been complaining to local police about low flying planes in the area at nighttime. Detective Brown managed to conduct interviews with four pilots who all alleged that the location of drug drops in that area of Arkansas was the same area of the railroad track these boys were murdered on.
Brown also interviewed Charlene Wilson. Wilson was arguably the most important witness in this entire case. A witness so important that prosecutor Dan Harmon tried to stop her from interviewing with several different investigators and even at one point allegedly planted drugs on her and got her sent to prison. Wilson alleges that night of the murders, herself along with a group led by prosecutor Dan Harmon, were on the railroad tracks looking for a drug drop when they came across the boys, who were also there curious about what was being dropped off by planes. She claims Dan Harmon and the group confronted the boys, who ran away to a local grocery store not far from the tracks.
Witnesses from the grocery store parking lot that night claim a police cruiser pulled up and officers began beating the boys while forcing them into the back of the cruiser. The officers brought the boys back to the railroad tracks, already dead. And that's when Darren Harmon and the group began the cover up. Wilson also claims, unrelated to the murders, that Darren Harmon was a personal friend to Bill Clinton and she went with him once to the Governor's Mansion in Little Rock, Arkansas for a cocaine fueled sex party with Bill Clinton and his brother Roger. While this might be exaggerated, Wilson was known by investigators to be reliable, and Bill Clinton's brother Roger had already been convicted of cocaine trafficking.
To this day, nobody has ever been charged for what happened to these boys. There are thousands of FBI, as well as CIA and DEA documents on these murders, which is pretty strange for a local homicide. Dan Harmon, later, was arrested and charged with racketeering, extortion, drug conspiracy, and distribution charges, underscoring just how corrupt he was. While the rise of interest in true crime has helped these boys' murders gain widespread attention, very rarely do those interested delve deeper into the intricate web of drug smuggling in Arkansas. Kevin Ive's mother, Linda, is largely the reason we know about this story.
She died two years ago, never seeing anyone held accountable for the death of her son and his friend. In 1988, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts led a committee essentially tasked with investigating the ties between drug trafficking, the CIA, and the Nicaraguan Contras. On the fourth day of hearings about drugs in Central America, the first witness to testify
Speaker 10: was Mister Gary Betzner. Gary Wayne Betzner.
Speaker 0: The very same Gary Betzner that jumped off that bridge in Arkansas eleven years before. Gary had faked his death, hypnotized his wife into believing he was dead, and had began a new life, smuggling cocaine. Betzner had begun flying cocaine for a George Morales in the early eighties and had become very close with Pablo Escobar, to this day calling Pablo a good man. In May of nineteen eighty three, George Morales calls Gary and asks to meet him airport hangar. When Gary arrives, he's met with an official from the CIA.
The CIA agent, who's apparently friends with George, orders Betzler to fly down to a military airport in Boca Chica. When he arrives, US government officials load Gary's airplane with grenade launchers and ship mines that he has then ordered to fly down to Nicaragua, where it's offloaded by US Military Personnel. What happened with those ship mines?
Speaker 12: The Sandinista government is claiming the ports there are undersea. Growing tension this morning between Nicaragua and The United States.
Speaker 0: Who knows? In late nineteen eighty three, Gary would end up retiring, taking his millions, and moving down to Hawaii. But less than a year later, Gary gets a call from his old friend, George Morales. George tells Gary that he had been arrested and ended up cutting a deal with the CIA. George was to help the CIA move weapons down to the Nicaraguan Contras and in exchange, he'd get out of his indictment.
Gary, who considered George a genuine friend, agrees to help him get out of his indictment by flying these CIA weapons down to Costa Rica. When Gary and his copilot land at the designated runway, they're greeted by John Hall.
Speaker 10: John Hall.
Speaker 1: John Hall. John Hall. John Hall. All of
Speaker 0: a sudden, all roads led to John Hall. Betzner test that after dropping the guns off at John Hull's farm, his plane was then loaded with 500 kilos of cocaine. Estimated street value is 10,000,000. Which he then brought back to the Opelika Airport in Miami. Upon arriving at Opelika, he's met with police and other agents that turn their back as he steals 20 of the kilos for himself, gets in his Honda, and drives away.
Speaker 1: Wasn't my cocaine? Wasn't Georgia's cocaine?
Speaker 0: In 1989, the Kerry Committee publishes their final report detailing substantial evidence of drug trafficking by the Contra rebels and concluded that US government officials were not only aware of the drug operations, but in some cases, hindered investigations and prosecutions of drug traffickers within the Contra support network. The committee uncovered evidence of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega's covert support for the Contras and his ties to cocaine traffickers, much of which would later be used to justify US invasion of Panama later that year. As well as one witness on record alleging CIA agents themselves were directly involved in loading cocaine onto airplanes. The report also pointed to lieutenant colonel Oliver North as the individual who leaked details of Barry Seal's undercover sting operation to the media. While the committee led to significant revelations, it didn't result in any criminal charges against anybody.
However, just ten days after the report, John Hull was arrested by Costa Rican authorities on several offenses, including drug trafficking, armed smuggling, and potentially being involved in terrorist activities due to his alleged participation in planning attacks against the Nicaraguan government. He got out on bail and fled the country. And just like that, this chapter in American history is closed. No significant arrest followed. Those implicated either faced minimal consequences or were shielded by presidential pardons.
In MENA, investigators Russell Welch and William Duncan worked closely to compile substantial evidence linking drug trafficking to government operations, Including evidence that attorney general Edwin Meese had received a several hundred thousand dollar bribe from Barry Seal directly. They were stifled at every turn and eventually faced the harsh reality that truth was just too dangerous of a commodity to unearth. Russell Welch was also poisoned with anthrax. All of their work, culminating from a decade of investigation, became footnotes in a saga marked by an absence of accountability. While crack cocaine tightened its grip on the nation, the very system meant to protect American citizens had turned its back, leaving only the scars of a scandal so purposefully convoluted, it discouraged questioning.
Speaker 4: This is your brain on drugs.
Speaker 0: On 08/18/1996, the San Jose Mercury News publishes the first installment of a three part series entitled Dark Alliance, the story behind the crack explosion. For the better part of a decade, a San Francisco Bay Area drug ring sold tons of cocaine to the crippin' blood street gangs of Los Angeles and funneled millions in drug profits to a Latin American guerrilla army run by the US Central Intelligence Agency. This drug network opened the first pipeline between Columbia's Cocaine cartels and the black neighborhoods of Los Angeles, a city now known as the crack capital of the world. The cocaine that flooded in helped spark a crack explosion in urban America and provided the cash and connections needed for LA's gangs to buy automatic weapons. These three sentences, along with an accompanying graphic depicting the CIA emblem over a crack pipe, led to an explosion of public outrage, especially within African American communities directly affected by the crack epidemic.
The article, which was simultaneously published in print and online, written by Pulitzer Prize winning Gary Webb, has been credited for furthering the Internet's reputation as a powerful information medium, as well as introducing many to the Internet for the first time due to widespread interest in the story. The story proved that Nicaraguan exiles and contrasympathizers supplied Freeway Ricky Ross, the most notorious crack dealer in LA with massive amounts of cocaine. And that some of those profits from these drug deals totaling in the millions helped the CIA fight communism down in Central America. The idea that the US government was somehow responsible for introducing crack to inner cities wasn't new. The New York Times had surveyed more than a thousand black residents about this theory six years before Dark Alliance was released.
And over a quarter of those surveyed said they believe the US government deliberately makes drug easily accessible in poor black neighborhoods in order to harm black citizens. That, along with the fact that much of the reason street gangs and violence rose to such prominence in the eighties and nineties was directly due to control over drug territories, it's not hard to see how someone could come to conclusion. And Gary Webb's dark alliance confirmed that for many. Even though Gary himself came out and said that's not what he believed and that's not what he was trying to sell his story as. Gary Webb didn't believe the US government was even remotely capable of a grand conspiracy such as this.
But that didn't matter. In September, Newsweek devotes an entire page to the story. Time magazine calls it the hottest topic in black America. Sixty minutes and Dateline fight over who gets to interview Webb first. And Jerry Springer, Gerardo Rivera, Tom Snyder, Jesse Jackson, Montell Williams, CNN, C SPAN, MSNBC, and CBS Morning News were all asking to interview Webb.
The story started making international headlines with the London Times and Le Monde in Paris writing stories about Webb's reporting. Newspapers in Germany, Belgium, Spain, Colombia, and Nicaragua all reach out to Webb for interviews. And NBC News, inspired by Webb's reporting, finally does an expose on the drug related entries in Oliver North's diary. Meanwhile, the establishment papers, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times remained largely silent. Speaking about Dark Alliance, journalist Robert Perry said the strange thing was that after Webb's story appeared, the major newspapers pretended that they had already covered the story and that the CIA had already admitted the Contras were involved in drug trafficking.
But that's not how they reported the story at the time, They were busy mocking senator John Kerry as a conspiracy buff. On 10/03/1996, the Washington Post publishes the story, The CIA and Crack, Evidence is Lacking of an Alleged Plot, written by Walter Pincus and Roberto Soro. The article cites sources, claiming that Webb's reporting was wrong about the amount of cocaine distributed and the amount of money that had been given back to the Contras. This article cherry picked statements by Blandon to support this idea. Pincus and Sorro ultimately agreed that the CIA was aware of drug trafficking and did nothing to stop it.
But they conveniently neglect to account for the 1986 LA County sheriff's record cited by Webb that would disprove the testimony from their unnamed sources. Pincus and Siro also falsely claimed that Gary's reporting made a racially charged allegation that the Contras deliberately targeted the black community in an effort to expand the market for a cheap form of cocaine. To say the least, the Washington Post article was slightly biased. But maybe that's because thirty years earlier, on a 1967 edition of the Washington Post, there's another article written by Walter Pincus. How I traveled abroad on CIA subsidy tells the story of how Pincus was recruited by the CIA when he was in college to spy on student groups at several conferences in between the nineteen fifties and early sixties.
The same journalist that was tapped to debunk Gary Webb's story about the CIA's involvement in the crack epidemic had himself worked as a CIA operative and had a history of writing articles that seemed to be in favor of the CIA. Three weeks after the Washington Post's response to Webb's story, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times both run lengthy stories attempting to debunk Dark Alliance. Both papers admit that a lot of the basic facts were true. Drug money was sent to the contract by Blandon and Manesses, but in the tens of thousands, not millions, according to unnamed sources. They also both correctly claimed that while Gary and his editors might have believed Blandon and Manesi sparked the crack cocaine epidemic, this was impossible to prove.
The LA Times, in particular, had dedicated 17 reporters to this one story, and this was the best that they could come up with. They also spent a considerable amount of time pondering whether or not black people were more prone to believing in conspiracy theories. An internal CIA memo that wouldn't be declassified until 2014 detailed how they used their relationship with key figures at multiple major news outlets to contain the Dark Alliance story. In late October of nineteen ninety six, the US senate select committee on intelligence begins hearings on the contra drug allegations. While not really leading to anything substantial, the CIA inspector general promises that the CIA will conduct an internal review that will provide an answer to all of Webb's allegations.
Throughout the latter half of 1996 and early ninety seven, Gary Webb would continue to investigate the story. But the more he found, the harder the backlash would be, especially from his own paper, The Mercury News. On 05/11/1997, The Mercury News ran a column from its top editor, Jerry Seppos, essentially apologizing for minor inaccuracies in Webb's reporting. It accused Webb of leaving out contradictory information, of failing to emphasize that the multimillion dollar figure was an estimate, and of not including the obligatory denials of the CIA. It didn't, however, point out that a lot of the inaccuracies were actually the fault of the editors themselves, who when Gary first drafted Dark Alliance, wanted him to lean harder into the CIA angle and had removed bits of Blandon's testimony from Gary's original story that would later be used by the Washington Post to undermine Dark Alliance.
Sappos's column was basically Sappos washing his hands of minor inaccuracies. It was far from a total retraction of the Dark Alliance story. But that's what other newspapers sold it as. So that's what it was universally received as. Dark Alliance as well as Gary Webb was now publicly viewed as discredited.
It was now open season on Gary Webb. The CIA backed Contra drug smuggling ring was no longer the focus. The reporter who broke the story with a few minor inaccuracies was. At the New York Times, reporter Ivor Peterson wrote a scathing article on Webb's entire career. Peterson went back into Webb's history and then dug up two libel suits filed as a result of Webb's reporting that ended in settlements.
Peterson used this to paint Webb as a journalist that had a history of playing loose with the facts. Peterson didn't mention that these lawsuits were filed because of sensationalist headlines on Webb's stories. Webb's reporting in the stories was entirely accurate. Webb had written four follow-up stories to Dark Alliance that the Mercury News was refusing to publish. At the time, Webb was also getting offers from several major publications to write a book detailing all of the evidence he found in regards to his Dark Alliance series.
Jerry Seppos said if Gary wanted to write a book, he'd have to resign first. Gary Webb resigned from the newspaper on 11/19/1997. After hearing about his resignation, Robert Perry wrote Gary Webb a letter of condolence. Like you, I grew up in this business thinking our job was to really tell the public the truth. But something very bad happened to the news media in the nineteen eighties.
Part of it was the public diplomacy pressures from the outside, but part of it was the smug, snotty, sophomoric crowd that came to dominate the national media from the inside. These characters fell in love with their power to define reality, not their responsibility to uncover the facts. By the nineteen nineties, the media had become the monster. Less than a week after the Mercury News announced Gary Webb's resignation, the CIA finally responded to the allegations in a truly genius fashion. Instead of finally releasing that internal investigation, they leaked the conclusions of that report, a summary, to the LA Times and the Mercury News.
Although the reporters had no actual idea what the CIA report said, the CIA finds itself not guilty was quite the triumphant headline to those looking to discredit Dark Alliance. It actually wouldn't be until two months later in January of ninety eight when the media was busy obsessing over president Bill Clinton's White House mouth hugs that the unredacted version of the report was released. The report detailed how the CIA did in fact know the dealings of Norman Menezes, directly intervened in drug trafficking cases to prevent the public from learning of the relationship between CIA assets and cocaine traffickers, and once even asked the justice department to return money it had confiscated from known drug traffickers so it could be sent back to the Nicaraguan Contras. The major newspapers didn't report on almost any of this. When the CIA finally admitted it had worked with and protected from prosecution Nicaraguan Contra drug traffickers, it wasn't a big deal.
But the question remained, how did so many CIA assets get away with drug trafficking for so long if the CIA wasn't in some way facilitating their drug operations? In March, the CIA inspector general appeared before the House Intelligence Committee to update Congress on the CIA's findings. There, he reveals that he neglected to interview many key individuals in the scandal, admits the CIA continued relationships with those they suspected of drug trafficking, and admitted that in 1982, the CIA worked out a deal with the Reagan administration so they no longer had to report any non staff employees for allegations of drug trafficking. Meaning, if CIA contract pilots, operatives, or assets were involved in cocaine trafficking, no one needed to know. That deal lasted until 1995.
Now that deal wouldn't cover CIA officers, people that get w twos from the CIA. But thankfully for the CIA, they never found evidence of one of their officers dealing drugs, except for that one time they did. In October, the CIA finally releases volume two of the full 600 page report. On October 13, '5 days after the report's release, congresswoman Maxine Waters inserts into the congressional record allegations that an appendix to this report was removed at the instruction of the Department of Justice at the last minute. This appendix is reported to have information about a CIA officer, not agent, not asset, but officer based in Los Angeles who was in charge of Contra related activities, running drugs to South Central Los Angeles around 1988.
That appendix was never found, never really mentioned again. And every time someone discusses CIA drug running, they'd never bring it up. What would be the smoking gun proving the CIA was involved directly in the crack epidemic was quite literally ripped out of history. A month later, in November of ninety eight, Gary Webb would release his own book, Dark Alliance. Even though the book is a great response, Webb's detailed documentation and the subsequent confirmations of his finding by many others would not be enough to change the mainstream narrative crafted about the crack epidemic and the CIA's involvement.
The book received far less coverage than the articles. Even the Mercury News refused to review it. In the end, only C SPAN would help to promote the release of the book on television, where Gary came on and talked about Dark Alliance as well as other headlines that morning.
Speaker 13: We back off of the story and and it goes away. And what they decided to do was back off of it and go and you know, similar to what happened with the CNN Tailwind story, pursuing it would have created a huge controversy.
Speaker 3: There's a story on the front page below the fold in the Washington edition of the LA Times that profiles the Saudi dissident who you referred to, Hosami Bin Laden, how he turned against the Americans essentially as a result of Operation Desert Storm in 1990.
Speaker 13: Well, know, there was a very interesting book written a couple years ago by a journalist named Jonathan Quitney. It was called Endless Enemies. And his theory was that The United States foreign policy simply creates enemies wherever we go, and and I think this is another example. When when we intervene in the in the affairs of other countries and we shoot at people and people get shot at with American bullets and American weapons, we create enemies. And if this if this is true, that this man turned against the United States government as a result of desert storm, we've created another enemy there we might not have had before.
Speaker 0: On 12/10/2004, after having to sell his home because he could no longer afford the mortgage, Gary Webb packed his belongings, mailed letters to his family, watched his favorite movie, listened to his favorite album, left his driver's license next to his bed so that nobody would have to identify his body, and shot himself twice in the head. The initial report of his death caused people to immediately theorize it was the CIA or some other government agency that assassinated him in response to the Dark Alliance story. When it was clarified that there was no foul play suspected, that didn't stop the rumors from spreading. This image and the theory that Gary Webb was assassinated unintentionally worked to undermine the truth. That the US government, working with the combined resources and influence of the three most powerful newspapers in America, orchestrated a campaign to shatter the life and career of a single journalist to the extent that it caused that man years later to take his own life.
In the wake of his death, you would continue to be attacked by newspapers, such as the LA Times labeling him as a discredited journalist during his obituary. When the story of Webb was being told in the 2014 film, Kill the Messenger, Washington Post assistant editor Jeffrey Lean took it upon himself to get out ahead of any empathy the film might garner. Writing Gary Webb was no journalism hero despite what Kill the Messenger says. The Hollywood version of his story, a truth teller persecuted by the cowardly and craven mainstream media, is pure fiction. In the words of Gary Webb, whether it's through premeditated murder or manslaughter, does not change the fact that you have a body on the floor, regardless of how you spin it.
The CIA was complicit in the distribution of cocaine to fund the Nicaraguan Contras. The American government, working directly with drug traffickers, allowed the streets of America to be flooded with crack cocaine, leading to the destruction of America's inner cities, and worked with major media companies to destroy the life of the journalist that threatened to expose this information.
Speaker 4: Any questions?
Speaker 14: And allowing drug dealers access to to selling drugs in
Speaker 7: The United States so that
Speaker 15: money can be funneled into their their their military. Right.
Speaker 3: To my community and to my people.
Speaker 5: Don't blame the conspiracy.
Speaker 3: There has never been a conspiracy.
Speaker 14: Former Arkansas governor, Lisa Hutchins, says he is running for president in 2024.
Speaker 6: The number of
Speaker 0: so called cocaine babies is growing at an astonishing rate.
Speaker 5: The number of babies born addicted has risen more than five hundred percent.

Speaker 0: I die with a joyful heart and the knowledge of our infinite achievements and of a contribution unique in the history that bears my name. This war will not come to an end the way the Druze imagine with the extermination of the Arian people. Instead, it will see the complete annihilation of the Druze. I do not play at war. I shall not allow myself to be ordered about by generals.
With iron will, I shall determine the moment to attack. That is my mission.
Speaker 1: Since the end of the First World War, the German people have been living with the consequences of a catastrophic defeat. Almost half of the workforce is unemployed. One of them is laborer Hans Bakker.
Speaker 2: Thousands of factories closed their doors. Many an honest German had to resort to theft to obtain food. All of us yearned for better times. Like many, I've lost all my possessions. So I have joined the National Socialist Party.
Speaker 1: The National Socialists, the Nazis, have been in power for twenty months. On September 1934 at Buchenburg, Three quarters of a million Germans have come to see their new leader, Adolf Hitler. The
Speaker 0: misery of our people is horrible to behold. Unemployment must be overcome. People of Germany, give us four years, and may God almighty give our work his blessing.
Speaker 1: School teacher, Louise Solmitz.
Speaker 3: A thrill shot through the crowd. The furor is coming. The excitement of the moment defend to a rousing cry. So many worship him as their savior, their redeemer from unbearable poverty.
Speaker 0: It is our task to make certain that the pages in German history that bear witness to our disintegration are torn in half. From need, misery, and wretchedness shall a new German Reich.
Speaker 1: Hitler's rise to power creates a new air of optimism. Jewish doctor Hertel Nathof.
Speaker 4: Hitler's chancellor. Everyone is full of it. It's all they talk about. Many are filled with happiness. Some have worry written in their faces.
But all are united in the words, now things will change.
Speaker 1: Hitler gradually transforms the lives of the German people. Unemployment is almost eliminated, and workers are even given holidays abroad, heavily subsidized by the state. Hans Biannis.
Speaker 5: Who would have thought a German worker would one day be able to go to the Italian Riviera? We will all return to Germany full of thankfulness and be able to work doubly hard to realize our Fuhrer's goal.
Speaker 1: At home in Germany, the Nazis stamp out all political opposition. The police and courts are placed under Nazi leadership. All power is concentrated in Adolf Hitler.
Speaker 0: Not everyone of you can see me, yet I feel you, and you feel me. The miracle of our age is that you found me,
Speaker 6: and Germany's fortune is that I have found you.
Speaker 1: September 1935. Hitler announces new laws that turn Germany's Jews into second class citizens. Children are given new textbooks with lessons in racial education.
Speaker 7: You can most easily tell a Jew by his nose. It looks like the number six. His lips are usually puffy. You can tell by his eyes that he is deceitful. If you have a good nose, you can smell the juice.
Speaker 1: Any opposition to Hitler is ruthlessly eradicated. Tens of thousands are imprisoned. Journalist Stefan Laurent dared to criticize the Fuhrer.
Speaker 8: I am writing in Cell Number 24. Outside, a new Germany is being created. Many millions are rejoicing. Hitler is promising everyone precisely what they want. I think that when they wake to their sober senses, they will find that they have been led by the nose and duped by lies.
Speaker 1: August 1936. Adolf Hitler arrives to open the eleventh Olympic Games in Berlin. Hitler is determined these games will be a showpiece for his new Germany. Jewish Professor Victor Klemperer.
Speaker 2: I find the Olympics so odious. The chanted slogans on the streets have been banned. Jew baiting, warlike sentiments, everything offensive has disappeared from the papers. The attention of our guests is repeatedly drawn to how peacefully and pleasantly things are proceeding here.
Speaker 1: By the end of the games, the Germans topped the medal table. It is a personal triumph for Hitler.
Speaker 0: In 1940, the Olympic games will take place in Tokyo, but thereafter, they will take place in Germany for all time to come. Three
Speaker 1: weeks after the Olympic Games, Hitler welcomes David Lloyd George, Britain's former prime minister, to the Berghof, his mountain home in Berchtesgaden, Bavaria. At Hitler's side is his interpreter, Paul Schmidt.
Speaker 9: Hitler was delighted with this visit from the world famous statesman. We sat at a table near the window. He began to speak with excitement of his experiences as a humble soldier during the great war. I often faced the English, he said.
Speaker 1: Lloyd George is so impressed by Hitler, he publishes his thoughts in the Daily Express.
Speaker 6: The idea of a Germany intimidating Europe forms no part of Hitler's new vision. The Germans have definitely made up their minds never to quarrel with us again.
Speaker 1: As Lloyd George leaves, Hitler Hitler presents a secret memo to his ministers.
Speaker 0: The world is moving towards a new conflict. Making the German army into the first in the world is vital. If this does not happen, then Germany will be lost. We must be ready for war in four years' time.
Speaker 1: July 1937. Adolf Hitler's personal pilot, SS Oberfuhrer Hans Bauer, accompanies him to a pageant to celebrate two thousand years of German culture. Bauer is permitted to film his Fuhrer with his own camera. 14 year old Ingeborg Weber.
Speaker 10: The four years the Fuhrer asked for to fulfill his promises are. What great things he has achieved. The communists have disappeared from Germany. There is no unemployment. The Fuhrer has given us back our self respect.
Speaker 1: For the past six years, Adolf Hitler has kept a secret from the German people. Hidden away from all but his closest companions is his mistress, Eva Brown.
Speaker 11: The weather is so wonderful, and I, the mistress of the greatest man in the world, am sitting here and gazing at the sun.
Speaker 1: With a camera given to her by Hitler, Eva Braun films his private life.
Speaker 11: I'm so terribly happy that he loves me so much, and I pray that it will always be like this. He has had a head full of politics all this time, but surely it is time he relaxed a little.
Speaker 1: Only members of Hitler's inner circle are allowed to meet Eva. One of them is Hitler's close friend, architect Albert Speer.
Speaker 12: Never have I met a person who so seldom reveals his feelings. Even towards Eefer, he is never completely relaxed and human. Hitler and Efe avoid anything that might suggest an intimate relationship, only to go upstairs to the bedrooms together late at night. Out of sympathy, I began to feel a liking for this Out woman who was so deeply attached to Hitler.
Speaker 1: Twenty five year old Eva is from a traditional Catholic family. When Hitler provides with a flat of her own, her father writes a letter.
Speaker 13: Your excellency, I find myself in the extremely unpleasant position of having to express to you my distress. I believe the parent supervision of the children until they get married is a sacred principle. This is my code
Speaker 14: of
Speaker 13: honor. Please advise her to return to her family. Yours very respectfully, Fritz Braun.
Speaker 1: Eva intercepts the letter. It will never reach the Fuhrer. Eva always appears happy, the center of attention, But the only surviving fragments of her diary reveal a different story.
Speaker 11: When he says he loves me, it only means he loves me at that particular moment. Like his promises which he never keeps. I am utterly miserable. I shall go out and buy some sleeping pills, then I won't think about it so much.
Speaker 1: Eva has already made two attempts at suicide, but Hitler still refuses to marry her.
Speaker 0: A highly intelligent man should take a primitive and stupid woman. Imagine if I had a woman who interfered with my work. In my leisure time, I want to have peace. I could never marry. It's the same with a movie actor.
When he marries, he loses a certain something for the women who adore him. Then he is no longer their idol.
Speaker 1: September 1937. The people of Berlin are preparing for a state visit from Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini. Hitler is building a new military alliance in Europe.
Speaker 0: We do not intend in rearming Germany to create an instrument of military aggression. But on the contrary, exclusively for defense and the maintenance of peace.
Speaker 1: Hitler parades his new army in front of Mussolini. Accompanying the two dictators is Hitler's interpreter, Paul Schmidt.
Speaker 9: I had ample opportunity of observing the two of them. Hitler's voice was rough and often hoarse. Sometimes, his eyes blazed. His laugh always had a flavor of sarcasm. There was an interesting ceremony with Mussolini appointing Hitler an honorary corporal in the Fascist militia.
Speaker 1: Hitler has also signed a pact with Japan. With his new axis of power in place, he is ready to make his next move. March 1938, Hitler announces the Nazi takeover of Austria. Born in Austria, Hitler has always dreamt of merging his homeland into a greater German Reich. Karl Tuzian is a soldier in the Austrian army.
Speaker 15: We've been told German troops should not be met with any resistance. God save Austria. Everywhere, there are people on the streets and swastika flags. Germany has apparently saved us from the communists. Now everyone is on side of the winners.
Speaker 1: In the town of Donbjorn, Ten Thousand people celebrate in the renamed Adolf Hitler Square.
Speaker 0: I believe that it was God's will to send the boy from here into Germany, to raise him to be leader, to return his homeland to the Reich. For me, this is the proudest hour of my life.
Speaker 1: Within weeks, the Jews of Vienna are feeling the real impact of Austria's savior. 24 year old Jewish student, Edith Hahn.
Speaker 16: The Nazis are putting up signs on Jewish shops, warning people not to buy there. Anybody who resists is beaten up, killed, or taken away to a concentration camp. Everyone around us has gone mad. They were born hating us, raised hating us, and now the veneer of civilization, which had protected us from their hatred, has been stripped away.
Speaker 1: High in the Bavarian Alps, at his mountain hideaway, Hitler is already planning his next conquest. The diary of Nazi propaganda chief, Josef Goebbels.
Speaker 17: Now comes Czechoslovakia. The Fuhrer is wonderful, a true genius. He sits for hours over the map and broods. The Fuhrer is pleased that Czechs are being so stubborn. All the more will they be torn to pieces one day.
And they haven't the slightest idea what's going to happen. Poor fools.
Speaker 1: Hitler claims that ethnic Germans living in the Czechoslovak province of Sudetenland are being oppressed. German newspapers are full of fabricated stories of violence and rape. Reports of German troop movements convinced the Western allies, Britain and France, that this distant border dispute could lead to war. During the annual Nazi party rally, the news has announced that negotiations with the Czech government have broken down. When Hitler begins his closing speech, the whole world is listening.
Speaker 0: I demand the right of self determination for the three and a half million Sudeten Germans. They themselves have a right to decide to which country they belong. I demand that the oppression of these Germans in Czechoslovakia ceases. Two
Speaker 1: weeks later, Czechoslovakia's fate is sealed when Hitler meets British prime minister, Neville Chamberlain. The
Speaker 0: agreement signed last night is symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again. I believe it is peace for our time.
Speaker 1: Hitler's troops are allowed to march into the Sudetenland without a shot being fired.
Speaker 0: I have made sacrifices, and I have shown great restraint. It is the last territorial demand I shall
Speaker 1: twelfth nineteen thirty nine. Adolf Hitler visits his childhood home, the small Austrian village of Fischelheim. Son of a local customs officer, Hitler lays flowers on his parents' grave and then visits his old school.
Speaker 0: It was here that my first ideals took shape. My association with the rougher boys made me the very opposite of a stay at home. Even then, my speaking talents were being developed in violent arguments with my school friends. Woods and meadows were then my battlefields.
Speaker 1: Hitler is now 50 years old. On his birthday, a woman writes to her local newspaper.
Speaker 3: My children look upon the Fuhrer as he who gives the orders for everything. To them, the Fuhrer is the creator of the world.
Speaker 1: Schoolchildren are even being taught a new song.
Speaker 7: Adolf Hitler is our savior, our hero. He's the noblest being in the whole wide world. For Hitler, we live. For Hitler, we die. Our Hitler rules a brave new world.
Speaker 1: All over Germany, thousands of new recruits swear allegiance to their Fuhrer. Hitler's adjutant, lieutenant colonel Schmunt.
Speaker 9: The Fuhrer says that the solution to our problems demands courage. It is a question of expanding in the East. No other openings can be seen in Europe. We are left with
Speaker 1: no Europe. Are alternative but to attack Poland at the first opportunity. This time, Britain and France war on Hitler. If he attacks Poland, they are prepared to go to war. Nazi propaganda chief, Josef Goebbels.
Speaker 17: We know for sure that the British are too weak and too cowardly to get in our way. The furor says that Britain now has the most rotten government imaginable. Believe me, we're going to see things develop just like the last time. A war of nerves, but they'll end up giving in.
Speaker 1: Hitler must remove one vital threat before he can launch his attack on Poland. He sends a secret telegram to the Soviet leader.
Speaker 0: Erstalin, the tension between Germany and Poland has become intolerable. A crisis may arise any day. It is desirable to enter into a new relationship with each other. I should be glad to receive your early answer, Adolf Hitler.
Speaker 1: Forty eight hours later, Stalin agrees not to interfere with Hitler's plans. More than 2,000,000 men await their Fuhrer's orders.
Speaker 0: No one will ever again have the confidence of the whole German people. All depends on me. Our enemies have leaders who are second rate. I saw them in Munich. They are little worms.
Close your hearts to pitting. Act brutally. When starting a war, it is not right that matters, but victory.
Speaker 1: Early on the morning of September 1939, the German army invades Poland. The news is broadcast throughout Germany by Adolf Hitler himself. Werner Hartz is in Berlin.
Speaker 18: The streets are empty, and there are no troops to be seen. There are no cheering people such as we had at the start of the great war. War has broken out quietly as if under a cloud. Two
Speaker 1: days later, Britain and France declare war on Germany. Adolf Hitler has started a second world war. A captured airfield on the outskirts of Warsaw. The Nazi invasion is only three weeks old, but already the Poles are facing defeat. A jubilant Hitler arrives to congratulate his troops.
Speaker 0: Endless columns of the Polish army have become prisoners of war. Whatever remains must surrender and lay down its arms, or it will be destroyed.
Speaker 1: As part of the secret pact with Stalin, the Red Army invades Eastern Poland. When the Poles still refuse to surrender, the city of Warsaw is devastated. Panzer Grenadier Gerhard Maier.
Speaker 19: We encountered masses of refugees in Karts. People are leaving town. Our artillery has had a field day. Everything has collapsed. There are people standing at the side of
Speaker 1: the road
Speaker 19: watching us with hatred.
Speaker 1: Hitler's defeat of Poland leaves 70,000 dead. As a nation, Poland ceases to exist. Hitler hopes that his destruction of Poland will serve as a warning to Britain and France. He makes them an offer of peace. When it is dismissed, he is
Speaker 17: enraged. Josef Goebbels. The Fuhrer believes England has to get a knockout blow. England's power is now simply a myth, not a reality any longer. All the more reason why it must be smashed.
Before then, there will be no peace in the world.
Speaker 1: May 1940. Hitler launches Blitzkrieg in the West. He catches the allies by complete surprise. Private Hans Gotthard.
Speaker 8: My darling wife, how can I start to describe this experience? From all sides, we can feel the march of thousands. The thunder of artillery never ceases, and we just follow its echo.
Speaker 1: In just two weeks, the German army has the allies on the run. At Dunkirk, more than 340,000 men of the British and French armies are forced to abandon France. Petal Souf is one of the first German soldiers on the beach.
Speaker 15: It is hard to describe panic of the English. Imagine a picture of absolute chaos on the beaches. Sorn away weapons and guns and lots of vehicles and tanks. Is the fall of Dunkirk? The whole of the Belgian and French coast is in our hands.
Speaker 1: With the British army beaten, France is now alone. Hans Bauer, Hitler's pilot, films the Fuhrer's triumphal arrival in France.
Speaker 0: Soldiers of the Western Front, you have not disappointed me. The most daring plan in the history of war was realized, thanks to your unequaled valor. Our victory shall teach our enemies an historic lesson. June 1940.
Speaker 1: The French formally surrender. Yet for some German soldiers, the price of victory is too high. Private Hans Goddard.
Speaker 8: My darling wife, I am completely shaken inside. Our soldiers have become childlike and cruel. When we have won this war, I can imagine all the enthusiastic speeches at home about our leadership and the spirit of the troops. I have to say it is untrue. We have only won due to our wickedness.
Speaker 1: 6AM, June the twenty eighth. Hitler enters the defeated French capital.
Speaker 0: Within barely six weeks of heroic struggle, our soldiers have ended the war in the West. Their deeds will enter into history as the most glorious victory of all time. I order flags to be flown throughout the Reich and bellstruing for seven days.
Speaker 1: Only Britain now stands in the way of Hitler's total mastery of Europe. A Week later, he returns to Berlin. Hundreds of thousands of people line the streets to greet him. He makes yet another offer of peace to Britain.
Speaker 0: Mister Churchill should place his trust in me. The continuation of this war will end in the complete destruction of one of our two nations. I know it will be Britain. I direct yet another appeal to reason.
Speaker 1: Winston Churchill refuses the offer. The battle for Britain has begun. Hitler believes his pilots must eliminate the Royal Air Force before an invasion can take place. This time, they encounter a more formidable enemy. Messerschmitt pilot, Ulrich Steinhelber.
Speaker 5: I can report I'd now shot down my fourth Spitfire, but it cost me an excellent pilot. The day before, we had three more losses. My wingman was also caught. There are only 12 left from the old crew. The British have a new engine in their Spitfires, and we can hardly keep up with it.
Speaker 1: A week later, Ulrich Steinhelper is shot down over Britain. When Churchill orders the bombing of German cities, Hitler switches his attack from the RAF to the British people.
Speaker 0: If the Royal Air Force should drop 2,000 or 4,000 bombs, then we will drop 200 or 400,000, even 1,000,000 bombs in a single night. If they then increase their attacks, we will obliterate their cities.
Speaker 1: Hitler's pilots blitz Britain day and night. Over the next nine months, more than 40,000 people are killed, but the British still refuse to give in. The Luftwaffe is starting to suffer heavy losses. Bomber pilot, Petter Stahl.
Speaker 20: Sixteenth of October. Our losses amount to four bombers and their crews. This is a heavy blow. And tomorrow, the official communicate state that our brave air crews have inflicted devastating damage on vital targets, and our own losses were only minimal. Our coups are reaching the limits of their nerves.
Speaker 1: By May 1941, Hitler has lost the battle for Britain. For the first time, he has met his match.
Speaker 0: I am not a man to abandon a fight once begun. I've proved this in my life, and I will prove this to Churchill.
Speaker 1: In Hitler's new eastern provinces, victory has brought a brutal new regime.
Speaker 0: The Poles have a thin Germanic layer. Below that is foul material, the Jews. The most disgusting thing imaginable. If Poland had lasted any longer, everything would be Lysren. A clear, masterful hand is now needed here.
Speaker 1: Hitler requires all Jews to be marked with a special armband. They're rounded up and forced to live in ghettos. The largest ghetto is in Poland's old capital, Warsaw. Four Hundred Thousand Jews are confined within its walls. 17 year old Mary Berg.
Speaker 21: The ghetto is becoming more and more crowded. There is a constant stream of new refugees. People are ragged and barefoot with the tragic eyes of those who are starving. Starvation alone is killing forty to 50 people each day. I saw a little girl crying.
She looked at me with her blue eyes and said, I'm hungry. Why does no one come to our aid? How long are we going to be kept here?
Speaker 1: Josef Goebbels.
Speaker 17: The fearer prophesied that if the Jews brought about another world war, they would experience annihilation. The world war is here. The extermination of the Jews is the necessary consequence. Consequence.
Speaker 1: By the end of 1942, almost 300,000 men, women, and children have been taken from the Warsaw Ghetto to the death camp at Treblinka. Hitler's final solution has begun. After his defeat at the hands of the RAF, Hitler has abandoned his plans for an invasion of Britain. He prepares orders for a new war, this time against his ally, the Soviet Union. Chief Of Staff, General Halder.
Speaker 22: The Fuhrer says that if we can defeat Russia, Britain's last hope will be gone. He believes a campaign against the Soviet Union will be child's play.
Speaker 1: Some of Hitler's generals are beginning to doubt his leadership. Deputy chief of operations, general Valemant.
Speaker 13: This means that we are bringing on ourselves a war on two fronts that up to now we have been lucky to avoid. What we need is someone to oppose the Fuhrer, but there is no one.
Speaker 1: A war to destroy communism has been Hitler's dream for the last twenty years.
Speaker 0: Communism is an enormous danger for our future. We must forget any idea of comradeship between soldiers. This will be a war of annihilation.
Speaker 1: Dawn, June 1941. More than 3,000,000 German soldiers cross the border into the Soviet Union. Hitler's treaty with Stalin is over. Operation Barbarossa has begun. Karl Fuchs is a gunner in the seventh Panzer Division.
Speaker 19: War isn't half as bad as it sounds. The Russians are fleeing everywhere. Yesterday, I shot up a Russian tank. If I get another one, I'll get my first battle stripes. We're going to show those Bolshevik pigs who's who around here.
I wish you could see me now, all tanned by the sun. We all believe in an early victory.
Speaker 1: An officer in the hundred and fifth police battalion writes home.
Speaker 23: Dear Hanna, the number of prisoners we take increases day by day. Our battalion has to take care of them. We shoot them there and then. When you know that these men have killed German soldiers, it is not such a difficult job to shoot them. Please don't read this to our son.
Speaker 1: By the war's end, more than 3,000,000 Soviet prisoners of war will have been killed. August 1941, Hitler visits the Eastern Front. With the Red Army in full retreat and large parts of the Soviet heartland in his grasp, his plans for an Eastern empire are beginning to take shape.
Speaker 0: What India is for Britain, Russia will be for us. If only I could make the German people understand what this space means for our future. Let's learn from the British. It is just a matter of dividing up a giant cake so that first we rule it, then administer it, and finally exploit it.
Speaker 1: But Hitler and his generals failed to defeat the Red Army before the start of the severe Russian winter. They are forced to call a halt to operation Barbarossa. Then on December, Hitler receives the news that his allies, the Japanese, have bombed Pearl Harbor. Adolf Hitler is faced by a new enemy, The United States.
Speaker 0: No power can shake us. I am Fuhrer of a Reich that will last for a thousand years. Churchill and Roosevelt are sitting over there in their plutocratic little world. Behind the scenes, the Jews run their show. I have my people behind me.
Speaker 1: With winter over, Hitler launches a new offensive. He is convinced that the Red Army is on the brink of destruction. Lieutenant Wilhelm Pruller.
Speaker 24: At last, we're in our element again. It is we who are taking the initiative, mister Stalin, and neither you nor your beasts can stop us. All about is an ear splitting, gigantic record, shot after shot, a never ending inferno. The land is bathed in a thick fog. We thank god that this war is not being fought on German soil.
Speaker 1: When the German army reaches the River Volga, Hitler orders the capture of Stalingrad. His soldiers are now over a thousand miles from home and dangerously exposed. When his generals suggest a retreat, Hitler confronts them.
Speaker 0: Do you think that you can teach me what the man at the front is thinking? Where were you in the first World War? I demand from you the same toughness as from the frontline soldiers.
Speaker 1: Hitler orders no retreat. Three months later, the Red Army surrounds and traps a quarter of a million German soldiers in Stalingrad. On the home front, the people of Germany are preparing for Christmas. Some of the families of soldiers trapped in Stalingrad have letters brought out by air. Private Werner Bunerman.
Speaker 14: My dear son, I hope that this is the last Christmas that you celebrate without me. The Russians have dealt us a nasty blow. It is now minus 30 degrees here. How nice it must be in warm rooms. Next year, I will hopefully be back with you.
Love from your father, Werner.
Speaker 1: Five weeks later, 90,000 surviving German soldiers in Stalingrad surrender. 80,000 will die in Soviet captivity. Private Werner Bunerman is one of them. With Hitler's war claiming more and more German lives, even old men and boys are now called up to fight for the fatherland. The diary of 15 year old Wolfgang Vindyssen.
Speaker 25: We have replaced the men so that they can go to the front. Soldiers had mend these guns until now. It's very exciting. I like this much more than school. We are now on duty twenty four hours a day.
We are boys no longer. No. We are men.
Speaker 1: Hitler's home homeland is under attack from the air. The Allies have begun firebombing Germany's cities. On July, '7 hundred British bombers target Hamburg. The firestorm is filmed by Hamburg Fireman, Hans Brunsvik.
Speaker 14: The fire is like a thunderstorm without rain. The heat is unbearable. I see people lying in the street. I tried to help them, but they're already dead. Hamburg streets are littered with bodies.
Some of them so burnt that they're only skeletons. Some are reduced to small heaps of ash.
Speaker 1: In Hamburg alone, more than 40,000 people are killed. Hitler's advisers want him to tour the ruins and raise the morale of his people. Minister of supplies, Albert Speer.
Speaker 12: I tried a few times to persuade Hitler. Goebbels had tried to put over the same idea, but in vain, and referred enviously to the conduct of Churchill. When I think of the propaganda value I could make of such a visit, he'd say.
Speaker 1: Hitler remains hidden away in his command bunker on the Eastern Front.
Speaker 0: If the German people are no longer so strong and ready for sacrifice, that they will not stake their own blood on their existence, they deserve to pass away and be annihilated by another stronger power. If that is the case, I would not shed a tear for them.
Speaker 1: Hidden in the forests of Eastern Germany is Hitler's secret headquarters. The Wolf's Lair is a huge complex of camouflaged buildings and underground bunkers. From here, Hitler directs his war. His health is now failing. He has a heart condition and the early signs of Parkinson's disease.
General Heinz Guderian.
Speaker 23: Since I last saw Hitler, he has aged greatly. His back was bent. His hand trembled. His eyes lacked their former luster. He easily lost his temper and was then unpredictable in what he said and did.
Speaker 1: Hitler's ally, the fascist dictator of Romania, Marshal Antonescu, is here to discuss the worsening war situation. Hitler's adjutant, Nikolaus von Belo.
Speaker 14: I had the impression that Hitler now believed that a war against both the Russians and the allies on two fronts could no longer be won.
Speaker 1: Dawn, June 1944. The allies begin an invasion of Nazi controlled France, d day. When Hitler is informed, he is delighted.
Speaker 0: The news could not be any better. As long as they were in Britain, we could not get at them. Now we have them where we can destroy them.
Speaker 1: But by the end of the first day, the allies have overwhelmed the German soldiers and fought their way inland. Private Robert Vogt.
Speaker 15: We only had infantry weapons. We didn't even have a bazooka, and we were even short of ammunition. The Americans were right. They dropped leaflets in German which read, attacked from the front, cut off from behind, written off by Hitler.
Speaker 1: In Germany, the news has announced that a bomb has exploded in Hitler's Wolfslayer headquarters. A group of army officers has been secretly plotting his downfall. Hitler has a lucky escape.
Speaker 0: Now I have proof. The entire general staff is contaminated. Now I have the swine who have been sabotaging my work for years. Now I know why my great plans failed. It was treason.
Speaker 1: Hitler orders the arrest of 5,000 people. 200 are executed. With his empire under attack from all sides, Hitler puts his faith in a new weapon. For more than twelve years at a secret location in Northern Germany, a team of Nazi scientists have been testing a long range ballistic missile. They make a special color film of their first successful launch.
Head of the research team, major general Walter Donberger, shows it to Hitler.
Speaker 23: A strange fanatical light flared in Hitler's eyes. What I want is annihilation, he raged. I realized that he expected this new weapon to produce a turning point in the war. Our missile has been renamed the v two, vengeance weapon number two.
Speaker 1: 13 hundred v two rockets are fired on London, killing almost 3,000 people, not the annihilation Hitler has demanded. The Allies are closing in on the fatherland itself. Hitler is still telling his people that the war can be won. But in private, he is a changed man.
Speaker 0: I know the war is lost. The enemy superiority is too great. I have been betrayed. I ought to put a bullet in my head. But we will not capitulate ever.
We may go down, but we will take the world with us.
Speaker 1: April 1945. The allies arrive at Buchenwald. It is one of over a thousand of Hitler's concentration camps. Udo Dietmar is one of the few survivors.
Speaker 18: The conditions in Buchenwald had reached the height of horror. People were starving. A few of those who could still move broke down and died. There were mountains of corpses. The crematorium and the courtyard were overcrowded with skeletons.
I can still hear my dead friends. If you should survive, don't forget to tell the world of our destiny. I will never forget.
Speaker 1: The Americans round up people from the nearby town and force them to witness the horrors that have been committed in their name. 18 year old Renata Simon.
Speaker 26: I could hardly believe what I was seeing. They had piled up the corpses of people who had died. The smell was just too much. I couldn't take it anymore. But the GI shouted at me, you Hitler Freilein.
Here, look. Look.
Speaker 1: The Nazis have murdered 6,000,000 Jews. January 19 40 five. The Red Army has reached the Oder River, just 50 miles from Berlin. From his bunker beneath the center of the city, Hitler orders every able-bodied male to defend Berlin.
Speaker 0: Every soldier must fulfill his duty. Whoever does not is a traitor. Anyone who gives you an order to retreat must be arrested and executed immediately.
Speaker 1: Outnumbered more than five to one, the German cause is hopeless. On April, the Russians enter Berlin. With more than 20,000,000 Soviets already killed in the war, the Red Army allows its soldiers to celebrate. 24 year old Hildegard Kristoff.
Speaker 27: The Russians came. We weren't allowed to lock our doors. Holding machine guns, they herded us into an empty house. Other young women had also been dragged in. The beasts pounced on us again and again the entire night, a whole mob of them.
At dawn, they disappeared. We crept back to our family. Many committed suicide.
Speaker 1: As many as 2,000,000 German women are raped. In the ruins of the Nazi chancellery, Hitler's underground bunker is discovered. It is deserted. After finally marrying his mistress, Eva Braun, Adolf Hitler has committed suicide.
Speaker 0: In order to escape the disgrace of surrender, my wife and I choose death. It is our wish to be burned immediately.
Speaker 1: All that is found in a few charred bones. Hitler's war is finally over. 17 year old schoolgirl, Edelgard sided.
Speaker 10: We believed in victory, and now this is the end. Hitler is responsible for destroying our nation. We will always have to live under this shame.
Speaker 1: Across Europe, 50 Million people are dead. Before killing himself, Hitler wrote this last testament.
Speaker 0: It is untrue that I or anyone else in Germany wanted war. It was provoked solely by the Jews. I die with a joyful heart in the knowledge of our infinite achievements and of a contribution unique in the history that bears my name.

Video Transcript AI Summary
On a clear September morning in 2001, life in New York changed irrevocably when someone saw a person falling. The attack was a surprise on a powerful nation, focused on globally and instantaneously. The symbols of globalization, skyscrapers and jets, were turned against themselves.
American Airlines flight 11 crashed into the North Tower between the 94th and 98th floors. People below the impact felt terror, while those in the zone died instantly or leaped from the tower. The building swayed but stood. Soon after, a second plane hit the South Tower. People realized it was terrorism. The jet fuel ignited office fires across multiple floors, weakening the steel and causing the collapse.
Corpses littered the plaza as firemen and rescue workers arrived. People were breaking windows in the North Tower, desperate to breathe. A third jetliner crashed into the Pentagon, and a fourth crashed in Pennsylvania. All air traffic was grounded. The fires in the towers generated immense heat. The South Tower began to fall, followed by the North Tower. The buildings collapsed in ten seconds, releasing heat and chaos. The buildings came straight down, aimed at their foundations.
Buildings 1 through 7 of the World Trade Center were completely destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of people marched north from the Financial District. Doctors and nurses braced for survivors that never came. New York will never be the same.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Oh, shit. What is it, Mike? That's somebody falling. What? Oh my god.
Somebody just fell. You're lying. Somebody just fell, dude.
Speaker 1: On a perfect, almost achingly beautiful late summer morning in early September two thousand one, a day of seemingly infinite visibility, one man later said, characterized by the rare and exquisite flying conditions airline pilots call severe clear. Life in New York and much of the rest of the contemporary world was changed irrevocably in the space of less than two hours.
Speaker 2: In my years in the in New York, it was obviously nothing like it. Nothing comes close. As a newspaper man, I've seen other horrors, wars, the earthquake in Mexico in '85, which killed twenty thousand people. But that was an act of of nature, not of man. The combination of the death, the spectacular event of the two skyscrapers collapsing, and the motivations behind it, All those things, I think, made this something that just struck a knife right into the heart of every New Yorker, knowing that we'd never be able to look at our city the same way again.
Speaker 3: First of all, it's a surprise on a beautiful day at the center of this powerful nation, which has not been attacked on its own shores or its own land by a foreign power in almost two hundred years. So that's a new thing. Secondly, the public focus on this. Never in the history of the world had there been anything even close. There's not really a second place.
The second place probably be the assassination of president Kennedy. You know, a world event where the world is focused on that story, but nothing like this where it's seen instantaneously as it happens by tens of millions of people around the globe.
Speaker 1: In a little less than two hours, with an almost poetically horrifying symmetry, the symbols and instruments of the city's uniquely air minded culture and of globalization itself, skyscrapers, jets, and the mass media would be turned back against themselves with a devastatingly lethal impact and effect.
Speaker 4: We were utterly struck by by the the fact that nothing here fit with any prior experience. Of course, people were talking about how it looked like something in a disaster movie. We could only think in terms of life imitating art because we had no other thing to compare it to. So people went to the movies and and compared it.
Speaker 1: Around 08:45AM on the morning of 09/11/2001, people along the West Side Of Manhattan heard the piercing whine of a jet plane moving south down the Hudson. Everything about its trajectory was wrong. Heading south along an airway normally reserved for northbound traffic, it was moving much too fast and much too close to the ground, nearly 500 miles per hour at an altitude of just 900 feet, more than twice the speed permitted for aircraft that low. It took less than ninety seconds for American Airlines flight 11 to hurdle the entire length of Manhattan Island. A little after 08:46AM, the huge 137 ton Boeing seven sixty seven, measuring more than half a football field in length from wingtip to wingtip and carrying more than 9,000 gallons of highly inflammable jet fuel, flashed across the final 20 blocks from Canal Street to the World Trade Center and tore through the north wall of the North Tower between the 90 Fourth And 90 Eighth Floors.
Instantly killing everyone on board and wreaking incomprehensible carnage across five full floors of the building. Witnesses on the upper floors of the South Tower were stunned to see a wall of flame burst through the south windows of Tower 1, a 30 feet away, followed by a shower of disintegrating desks, files, furniture, computer terminals, airplane parts, and burning bodies.
Speaker 5: If you were just below where the plane hit, your ceilings fell, you saw the glint of the plane going overhead, there's an overwhelming feeling of terror, and you were probably knocked off your feet. And, of course, if you were in the zone itself, you may have died instantly. But even very close, and this is very tragic, very close to the regions of impact, there were people who lived for long minutes as they sought refuge from, you know, the building flames to tremendous heat. Couple of them even were able to phone. And then often in that region, their lives ended quickly in the fire or they chose to leap from the tower.
Speaker 6: That airplane straddled several floors, and it it delivered a hell of a punch. The building swayed. We know that when that punch was delivered, the the swaying took the form of waves that ran vertically up and down the building multiple times, sort of echoing up and down the building. And really, the incredible thing is considering the speed with which those airplanes were flying enormous weight, enormous speed. Rather than decapitating the buildings or pushing them over, the buildings absorbed the impact entirely.
They took the hit and they stood.
Speaker 7: I was heading for the Holland Tunnel, which has a four block concourse, if you wanna call it, leading to the toll booth. And as I turned into the first of those four blocks and I looked up, I said, oh my god, there was a hole in Tower Number 1. And my first thought was, it can't be a helicopter to hostel bay. And the second was, my god. It can't be a commercial plane because they're instructed to fly into the river if they have problems.
I knew that. By
Speaker 1: August, an army of firemen, police officers, emergency medical personnel, and government officials, including the mayor himself, had begun to descend on Lower Manhattan along with an army of reporters, photographers, and television crews as the machinery of the largest media apparatus in the world began to focus on the 16 acre site. At 09:02AM, little more than fifteen minutes after the attack, millions of people in the metropolitan region and tens of millions more across the country and around the world were staring intently at the smoldering skyline of Lower Manhattan when a dark shape appeared on the horizon above the New Jersey Lowlands and came hurtling across the Upper Bay.
Speaker 7: I got out of my car, other people did, and suddenly I saw a plane number two coming from the South over the Statue Of Liberty going very fast, they say between 506 miles an hour. And I saw it smash into the south wall of number two on oblique end. I saw this big, poor flame, and the noise came out on the
Speaker 6: north side of the east side.
Speaker 7: And my first reaction, my god, that's poor people in love because they're gonna wipe out all the staircases staircases and all the sprinkler systems that they're they just went sliced right through. And power such a big plane at that speed. And for a moment, was incredible sadness to the people there and then an incredible anger, feeling that somebody had deliberately deliberately rammed into those towers and those poor innocent people that were in there.
Speaker 2: I was at the Tweed Courthouse on Chambers Street right behind City Hall. I grabbed a notebook and ran to the street in time to see the second one hit. I knew right away, obviously, it was terrorism. This amazing fireball that came roaring towards Broadway. And people on the street corner just going, oh, shit.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. That expression must have been uttered, like, 10,000,000 times that day. Just astonishment to what
Speaker 6: they were looking at. We know that when the airplanes hit, there was a an instantaneous release of energy in the form of fuel vaporized that caught on fire. There was fire instantaneously across multiple floors. That fire, which was a kerosene fire, jet fuel fire, burned very hot, but it also burned very fast. We're talking three to five minutes.
But what it did is it ignited a simultaneous office fire, in both cases, across multiple floors. An office fire the like of which had not been imagined before. In all cases, an office fire is many things burning, partitions, carpets in particular, computer cases, but paper, mostly paper. And if you look at the dynamics of the collapse, what you find is that in both cases, it was the paper fire that was sustained long enough because of the amount of paper in there to cause the steel to weaken, to cause the collapse, and the hammering down in both cases. I mean, on that day was a constant presence.
It rained down on the city as if in mockery of the kind of business that was done at the trade center. Here, have some of the paper, and it burned, and it brought the buildings down.
Speaker 1: The second plane had struck the South Tower at 09:02 fifty four AM, just sixteen minutes after the first plane went in. By then, the first teams of firemen and rescue workers had already arrived at the foot of the North Tower, where they were greeted by a scene of horror and devastation that defied the imagination. On the Austin Tobin Plaza, there were corpses everywhere. The mangled bodies of men and women who had already jumped or fallen from the upper floors of the building, and the charred remains of passengers from flight 11, some still belted into their seats. Far above, meanwhile, in the upper reaches of the towers themselves, the gaping black holes where the planes had gone in marked a stuck dividing line between life and death.
Speaker 8: In the North Tower, the plane struck at the center and also struck much higher up. And because it struck at the center, the fuel immediately went down the shafts and created a much broader fire. The flames were much more intense. The number of floors that were available to move up and down were many fewer. So what happened was people were breaking windows in the North Tower, desperate to get air.
And there was no place to go because there were no stairwells that were open up and down. People were stacked four or five on top of each other at the broken windows, desperate to breathe. And other people were were hanging on to each other across the the steel columns from window to window, hanging out of the windows desperate to breathe. And just, you know, grasping each other to keep hold of the building.
Speaker 5: One of the most horrific scenes in the history of the nation took place a thousand feet above Lower Manhattan. And it took the lives of people who were staring down at safety, you know, at the most populous city in the nation, civilization at its peak. But they didn't have anywhere to get there. And there's really there's really few words to describe how terrible that must have been.
Speaker 1: By 09:30, ordinary life had all but ceased across the city, as millions of New Yorkers and hundreds of millions more around the world looked on in shock and disbelief at the nightmarish images unfolding in real time on TV.
Speaker 6: Closed all port authority bridges and You
Speaker 9: usually can usually can gauge things, you know, within a few minutes, you know, so that they may start getting worse. But at one time, you say, well, this is what they are. But this was something that started getting worse and worse and worse and worse and worse and worse.
Speaker 1: At 09:38, word came that terrorists had commandeered a third jetliner and crashed it into the Pentagon, killing everyone on board and a 26 people on the ground. And not long after, that a fourth plane had crashed into a hillside in rural Pennsylvania, brought down by some of its own heroic passengers before it could reach its intended target in the nation's capital. Military jets are are now controlled.
Speaker 3: What struck me at the time, I think, is the most significant part of that was when they came on and said that the Federal Aviation Administration ordered all air traffic in The United States to be grounded. I knew that it never happened before. You know, there are tens of thousands of planes in The United States at any one time. And to say they have to land now. What hit me was that this is really beyond whatever I had thought.
Speaker 1: And then on a morning of hideous surprises, already without precedent in the city's history, something happened that no one had ever thought possible before, something beyond comprehension, something that had never happened in the history of tall buildings since the first skyscrapers had gone up at the foot of Manhattan over a century before. High up in both towers, the raging fires were now generating three to five times the heat of a nuclear power plant, and the interior temperature had soared in places to nearly 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. At 09:58AM, having withstood the ferocious heat of the began to come down. As the quarter mile tall structure dissolved into a massive shroud of smoke and dust, thousands of people in the surrounding streets began to cry out in horror and disbelief, disbelief, then ran for their lives, pursued by an enormous billowing cloud of dust and debris.
Speaker 2: It never occurred to me that these two buildings would come down. So that when they did, it was the most shocking moment maybe that I never had. That the South Tower began to tip forward and then righted itself and came down in what in memory seems like a slow motion moment.
Speaker 1: What
Speaker 2: happened in ten seconds? Ten seconds. It's a knockout in boxing. The whole thing came down. It was just to to me still it's a staggering moment in New York in any history and world history for a place that had never had anything like that happen to it ever before.
The Empire State Building didn't come down. You couldn't '93, the 4,000 pound pound bomb goes off in the basement, doesn't come down. This time it came down. This time they figured it out. And I thought, oh, man.
Something news happened here.
Speaker 1: At 10:28AM, thirty minutes after the South Tower fell, the television antenna atop the North Tower began to give way, followed a fraction of a second later by the upper floors of the building itself as the entire North Tower now came down too. Oh my god. The second one's crossing. Oh my god. It just falls under the And
Speaker 6: there was a release of heat that was off the scale. Fires ignited. Crushing and tearing was going on and chaos, mostly just chaos on some mathematical level was happening. You can't even describe it physically because it was too big, too chaotic. It was a cataclysmic release, and it released back into the city in ten seconds in each case.
The surprising thing to me has always been how concentrated it was. They came straight down as if they were aimed directly at their foundations. And of course, anything that was directly underneath no longer existed afterward. The so called bathtub that ran six floors underground below street absorbed the brunt of the energy. Inside that bathtub during those twin ten second pulses, what was really happening, nobody can even imagine.
We know what the results were. The results were we were grappling with results inside that hole for the following nine months. We're in a sense probably will be grappling with the results for years to come.
Speaker 10: I was Upstate New York when I heard of the towers being destroyed. A side of me was not believing it. It was a very strange blend of of feelings. One was the sorrow, the horror at witnessing human life being obliterated for no reason like that. And I felt something beyond words.
I felt almost in a live part of me being squeezed to nothing, being extracted and evisceration almost. It's an interesting question when you saw those two giant towers collapse almost cleanly on themselves. Where did they go? I have read in some architecture article that they were made mostly of air. If you consider the space between the solid molecules, the steel, the concrete, the glass, the aluminum, there was a lot of air.
It was mostly air actually. And they disappeared and it's where did they go was part of the the disbelief that I was feeling because how you can make 200,000 tons of steel disappear. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: In the end, the half million tons of concrete, steel, glass, and aluminum in each tower had hurtled to the ground in a virtual freefall, traveling at a speed of a 25 miles an hour. Shock waves from the twin impacts were picked up more than 40 miles away by seismic instruments used for monitoring earthquakes. The immense columns of rubble and dust drifting away from ground zero could be clearly seen from outer space.
Speaker 11: I I have to tell you, I didn't know whether the buildings were empty or whether there were tens of thousands of people in them. I I just had no idea, and I was I was totally devastated by the fact that all those people were in there, and this building that I had designed was I was falling on them. The buildings were not so important to me. I'm I'm good at buildings, but people are never better. It was a terrible event, Absolutely terrible.
Speaker 0: I don't think you can measure the impact. It's absolutely enormous. Everybody felt it, but of course, those who felt it most and will never get over the effects are those lost people. And the sheer numbers are so appalling, and the horror of the attack is so appalling that in one sense, New York will never be the same.
Speaker 1: With the collapse of the Second Tower, an eerie quiet descended on New York. By 11:00, hundreds of thousands of dazed and disheveled office workers, many covered in ashes and dust, could be seen marching north from the Financial District, straggling uptown along the West Side Highway, or heading over the bridges to Brooklyn. Down at the site itself, hundreds of firemen and rescue workers roped their way across a surreal landscape of smoke and flames at the edge of an immense seven story pile of tangled steel and debris, searching desperately for any signs of life. All day, doctors and nurses in emergency rooms around the city braced for the anticipated onslaught of injured survivors that never came. Those who got out, got out, one nurse later said.
Those who didn't died. Around 05:20 in the afternoon, building number seven, a 47 story tower on the North side of Vesey Street, succumbed to a raging oil fire within and fell to the ground. One
Speaker 6: of the surprising things, would call it almost a a sad poetic justice is that the only buildings that were completely destroyed by this collapse were the buildings that carried the trade center label, Buildings 1 Through 7. No other buildings with the exception of the small orthodox church there that dissolved were destroyed, and every building that carried the label died.

@Red_Pill_US Why I always archived “ARIZONA WILDER ON SHAPESHIFTING REPTILIANS”video on my roster. https://t.co/b7Tp9SfcJs
Video Transcript AI Summary
Arizona Wilder claims to have witnessed Illuminati rituals involving shapeshifting reptilians who need human blood to maintain their human form and sanity. These reptilians are allegedly from another dimension and include members of European royal families, like the Queen Mother, Prince Philip, and Prince Charles, as well as figures like George Bush, Hillary Clinton, Henry Kissinger, and others.
Wilder describes rituals involving child sacrifices, where victims are terrorized to secrete substances in their blood that the reptilians consume. She says she has seen these figures shapeshift into reptilian forms, often triggered by the scent of blood, and engage in cannibalistic acts.
According to Wilder, the reptilians have difficulty maintaining human form, especially around blood, and can be seen shapeshifting in their sleep. She identifies Zachariah Sitchin as a disinformer about the Illuminati and reptilians. She describes the reptilian form of the Queen Mother in detail, including her height, color, and features.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: It's quite horrific. But if we don't know about it, what can we do to stop it and to change it? I spoke to Arizona Wilder in Los Angeles, and this is what she had to say. Rosanna, can we start at the beginning and can you tell us the story of what's happened in your life from the very start?
Speaker 1: Okay, what I can tell you is that before I started looking into my life back in 1989, was starting to have flashes of things and my life was not what it seemed to be which is why I started looking into it. The and purity of the blood and what it's all about is that the blood and the menstrual blood contain something that is important for the propagation of this race that is controlling things on this planet. They are called the Illuminati. The Illuminati are actually run by these 13 bloodlines which are all of the royal families in Europe and England. They need the blood because they are in fact not human.
They take human shape. They are reptilians. And they need the blood. The blood helps them maintain their reptilian shape and it helps them maintain their sanity and it helps them to live in this world because they are not from this world. But what they need for it to be secreted in the blood is they need terrorization their victims before they are killed for their blood.
They have to terrorize them to get this to come out in the blood and be secreted in the blood. They are killed at that moment as they are staring into their eyes and not only do they can't hold their shape when this happens.
Speaker 0: The human shape.
Speaker 1: The human shape they cannot hold. They go back into reptilian shape as this is happening because it's like an animalistic type of excitement. Oftentimes they will just rip into the victim and eviscerate them and start eating the flesh of this person too and the fat from the intestinal area is highly valued as they use it on their skin. And they drink the blood and the blood is highly sought after and it goes according also to rank within these creatures.
Speaker 0: Why it's increased since the ages?
Speaker 1: There are changes going on in the earth. It seems they're not able to hold their shape like they once were able to, and people see them shape shift more and more and they need the blood to try and maintain it, to try and maintain their human form. I believe there's a time coming what I, because of what I've been told, when they are not going to bother having to hold that human shape as they had to before. They want that time to come. It's then about four thousand years ago, the reptilians arrived here and again began to take over.
And they instilled themselves in different places underground the earth and also this one part of them, the ruling part, took over and became involved in the politics and in the religion and started controlling through these means at that point in time. Reptilian, they come from another dimension, they materialize from out of another dimension and are present at rituals and they are so powerful and presence is such an evilness about them and they want out of the southern dimension. Old Ones are called out and they are what Christianity would have called the demons.
Speaker 0: Is this symbolism of the abyss anything to do with the fact that these reptilian demons of another dimension are somehow locked in a time space prison, and they can't get out, and they can only get out when they're brought out in that way?
Speaker 1: Yes, they want out of that dimension. They have been thrown into that dimension, and they can't leave that dimension. And that's actually what the abyss is about, is being in a different dimension. It's it's like something to do with the fourth dimension.
Speaker 0: So take us through one of these rituals that you conducted at the highest level of this global brotherhood. What would happen?
Speaker 1: And then they have these children that they're kidnapping and bringing in from other countries, and no one misses them because these are third world countries. Children have the most energy, the purest energy, they're the highest form of sacrifice. They are used as actual blood sacrifices during these rituals of reptilians needing their blood. The blood will be gathered in a goblet and it will be dispersed among the reptilians.
Speaker 0: Are these rituals, rare? I mean, how many are there that, say, go on, a year? I mean,
Speaker 1: we talk hundreds or thousands of them. There are there are things happening every month of the year.
Speaker 0: What happens on the night of Halloween?
Speaker 1: That night is about the worship and homage to Satan, the great deceiver Satan, on that night, on Halloween, at this church.
Speaker 0: You've conducted them in Europe and The United States. Can we start with The United States?
Speaker 1: Yes. Have seen at rituals, I have seen George Bush, I have seen Madeleine Albright, I have seen Henry Kissinger, I have seen Ronald Reagan, have also, by the way, seen his wife Nancy Reagan. I have seen Hillary Clinton before I knew she was Hillary Clinton at the time at these rituals, she is involved. Other people that I have named and are I've seen shape shift into reptilians. Jay Rockefeller, he shape shifts.
These people seem to all be connected to the Illuminati. Gerald Ford, I have seen shape shift. Doctor. Joseph Mengele, who took me around to these rituals a lot of the time, was also a shape shifter. There are people in European countries that I've seen shape shift and be involved.
The Queen there, I've seen Princess Margaret there, I've seen Charles there, And they shape shift. I have seen Tony Blair there. And he shape shifts. They all have their quirks to how they act even in their reptilian form. Someone who's been talking about around this subject and it seems to be popular right now.
Speaker 0: Who's
Speaker 1: that? This man by the last name of Sitchin. I've seen at rituals, and he is a shapeshifter.
Speaker 0: What do you remember about Zachariah Sitchin?
Speaker 1: Zachariah Sitchin was someone in the rituals who are in attending the rituals who was not a major player in in as far as the rituals went, but was someone that that others present did not make remarks at or were very careful as to what they said around him. And he was talking about he would be talking about, doing away with people, persons that that were in his way or were not were putting out information that he didn't feel that he wanted put out. He is very much a disinformer and that is his job to disinform about what is going on with the Illuminati and with the reptilians.
Speaker 0: He actually wore me off from investigating the reptilians interestingly.
Speaker 1: They have there are eggs. It's like a a nest of eggs kept down in that in that part where it's warm. It's very warm down there in this into this entrance. And these eggs are kept down there incubating, and they are the reptiles' eggs.
Speaker 0: What have you seen the royal family do the Queen, the Queen Mother, and the other people you've seen in the rituals what have you seen them do?
Speaker 1: I've seen all of them drink human blood and consume human flesh. They have their own goblets in which they have blood and these goblets are encrusted with jewels. They also have their own daggers and the dagger goes into the goblet where these robes but they don't wear anything underneath the robes because what is going to happen, what the rituals are all about, they're going to shape shift and they can't have anything on under the robes. And there are orgy kind of things that go on at the rituals also.
Speaker 0: Involving the royal family of Britain.
Speaker 1: Yes, involving the royal family of Britain and the sacrifice and the eating of, consuming the sacrifice, and they are involved in that.
Speaker 0: And you've seen them do that?
Speaker 1: Yes. I have seen them do that.
Speaker 0: People in Britain, listening to what you're saying, would obviously be staggered, I guess, anywhere in the world. But what would stagger them mostly is, in Britain, the Queen Mother has an image of being the nation's grand grandmother, the nice old lady and, good old Queen Mum, what a lovely lady. What's your experience of the Queen Mother?
Speaker 1: She is very cold in reality, and she is very cruel. She obviously, from what I see, enjoys consuming human flesh. It's sickening.
Speaker 0: Do they go into a different state in terms of age and strength and all these other attributes when they actually shape shift?
Speaker 1: Yes. The human body that they choose to occupy or take when it was young, it ages, but when they take the reptilian form, they still these reptilians live hundreds of years. And so they have to have taken more than one human body to live in. There a lot of them are much, much older, and I'm concluding the queen mother in this and older than than people think that that she is. She's then in more than one body, human form.
And when the time comes, if it is time for her to go on and it has been chosen that she still has I mean, it's known that she still has life for years to go, again, she will be put into the body, the essence of her and the reptilian form will go the essence of her will go into another body that also has the ability to shape shift into reptilian form.
Speaker 0: One of the pure reptilian human blood lines?
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 0: Happens when take the Queen Mother as an example what happens when they shapeshift? What do you see?
Speaker 1: You start to see changes happen and they're happening so fast that it's almost the closest thing that I've seen to it is what they're now doing with computer technology. It just it's just a literal transformation that happens very quickly and they get taller and they get bigger and they don't look at all as reptilians like they do as humans, and thus the wearing of the robes, because if they were in clothes, the clothes would be torn apart.
Speaker 0: So let's take the Queen Mother on this subject as an example. We recognize her as a frail old lady. What does she look like when she shapeshifts at these rituals?
Speaker 1: She has she looks like she she the nose portion gets very much longer and it grows into kind of a snout kind of thing. She has little fangs and incisors as teeth and there's a tongue. They all seem to have this kind of tongue when they're at this level. The tongue has a lot of long hairy or pointed projections coming out of it. It's very long.
They don't have hands or feet. They have these claws. And they have scales and also scales that seem to kind of disappear into one another. But it more pronounced on the back. There seem to be lumps or protrusions coming from the head.
There seem to be some kind of growth appendages at where, you know, on the back and I they they seem folded, and not all of them have that. And there is a tail, and they, a lot of times, will keep the tail curled. And when it went I mean, when and I've seen her when she's very displeased with something as I've seen other members like this. This tail is whipped around, very agitated, and they do and she hisses.
Speaker 0: What color are
Speaker 1: they? Which one in particular?
Speaker 0: Take the Queen Mother as an example.
Speaker 1: She's kind of a beige color on the underside. And by the time you're going up around to the back and the tail and the top of the head and on top of the nose, snout, whatever, it's coming to a very there are dark speckles of or large speckles of dark browns. The eyes usually they're very large, they look like they're very round and they look like they're coming out of their sockets and very protruding. Usually the color ranges from a beige to a gold to a dark greenish gold and then there's this dark slit up and down a vertical slit. The eyes will look hooded.
And when they look hooded it's a very frightening thing because it seems that when the eyes are hooded they're about to do something.
Speaker 0: What do you mean by hooded?
Speaker 1: The lids come down and they it like, there it's almost I guess it would be the same thing in a human as an expression of someone's got an idea.
Speaker 0: And how tall are they when they shape shift?
Speaker 1: They're about just about seven feet tall. Some are a little shorter or to a foot shorter. Some are a little bit taller than seven feet.
Speaker 0: What is it about the rituals that allow the shape shifting to happen?
Speaker 1: When the victims are starting to be sacrificed, it's the scent of the blood. They start shape shifting at that point in time. They can hardly wait to get to the blood. It's like they're addicted to the blood. And then the consumption of human flesh that follows.
Speaker 0: What have you seen the Queen or any of the royal family do in relation to that? Have you seen them sacrifice and consume human flesh?
Speaker 1: There are certain times when they will actually do a sacrifice or there will have been someone doing a sacrifice and it's not happening fast enough for them. So they will step in and finish it themselves because the has the ritual has to be gone through. Sacrificially, I mean, ritualistically, has to have been gone through and they will step right in and just start tearing the throat out. And They're getting all this blood from the jugular vein at the same time. That has happened when there are many there that are going to be sacrificed and they just can't wait.
And then tearing into the contents of the abdomen and stomach of a victim afterwards.
Speaker 0: Who have you seen do that?
Speaker 1: I've seen the Queen Mother do that and Prince Philip and Charles. I've seen Guy Duras Child do this. It seems that I've seen it more among royalty or so called royalty do this than people that are not titled. They don't seem to they seem like they it feels like they don't dare, but they they they shape shift nonetheless. But it's like the royals that step in and just start tearing away as they can hardly wait.
Speaker 0: How long can they hold the reptilian form in this occasion?
Speaker 1: During the rituals? It's much easier for them to hold the reptilian form. They can stay in that form. What it is, is that they have a hard time holding their human form. And as long as they're around blood and the scent of blood, they can't hold human form.
Speaker 0: Was there any way, when Diana was married to Charles, without attending a blood ritual, that she could have seen him or one of the others become a reptile?
Speaker 1: They have a tendency when they're asleep to shape shift. They have to consciously hold their form and when they're asleep they have a tendency to not hold human form and to shape shift into reptilian, that scent of blood would tend to cause a momentary shape shift.

On September 13, 2024, Destiny Harris was arrested for alleged unemployment fraud from 2020. Following the COVID-19 outbreak, an investigation was initiated after it was reported that four people had unemployment claims filed by employees still currently employed. Detectives found that one claimant was a victim of identity theft, while the other three, including Harris, had filed for benefits themselves despite not being eligible.
In December 2022, detectives interviewed the claimants. Two were not charged due to believing they were filing based on secondary employment status. Harris allegedly claimed she didn't file, but bank records showed she received $19,975. She failed to attend a meeting with detectives in January 2023, and a letter sent to her address was returned as undeliverable.
Police arrived at a residence to arrest Destiny, but the woman answering the door initially denied being her. After a phone call with her mother, Destiny was informed of the warrant for fraud and was taken into custody. She was charged with fraud swindle to obtain property under $20,000 and three counts of fraud false statement to obtain reemployment assistance.

Speaker 0: I can't go to jail, mom. I understand. So you have to know. I don't know what's going on, but we can't fight it. Yeah.
You know?
Speaker 1: On 09/13/2024, a woman named Destiny Harris gets a knock on her door from police with a warrant for her arrest for unemployment fraud that she allegedly committed four years ago. But let's take it back to 2020. In the wake of the COVID nineteen outbreak, numerous Americans lost their jobs, resulting in a significant rise in unemployment applications. This also led to some people attempting to exploit the system for benefits they were not eligible for. A financial investigator with the Department of Economic Opportunity informs a detective in the city of Delray Beach that four people had reported they received unemployment claims by employees who were still currently employed.
An investigation was then initiated. Three months later, after all the information was collected on the claimants, their phone providers were issued subpoenas. Detectives find one of the claimants was victim of identity theft while the other three had filed for benefits themselves. Each employee was paid the minimum $275 a week and did not have hours reduced. Therefore, they were not eligible to file with DEO.
Fast forward to December 2022, the detectives speak to each claimant over the phone and meet for an in person interview. Two of them all filed unemployment claims for themselves when they should not have been entitled to the benefits, but there was insufficient evidence to support a criminal charge for filing a fraudulent unemployment claim as they believed they were filing based on the work status of a secondary employment. As for Destiny Harris, she allegedly told the detectives that she did not file as she was working full time. But after police accessed her bank records, it was found that she had received $19,975. Harris scheduled to meet with the detective on January 2023 but failed to show.
She was contacted several times after, and the phone would go straight to voicemail. A letter was then sent to her listed address. However, the letter was returned as undeliverable. But Destiny failed to realize that due to this, her case remained active, and eventually, police would come knocking.
Speaker 0: Alright. Can you see him? The guy looks like he just ran over and grabbed the dog. Hi.

Speaker 2: Okay. So there's a warrant for your arrest. Okay. Oh my gosh. So that's what that's what we're here for.
So I would like to explain more to you and actually sit down and have a conversation with you. But in the meantime, we do need to take you back with us. And because you have your mom on the phone, that's why I'm explaining this to you Mhmm. So that she knows what's going on also. Okay?
Speaker 0: Okay. Alright. She won't tell you what the warrant's for?
Speaker 2: It's for fraud.
Speaker 0: It's for what?
Speaker 2: It's for fraud. But like I said, we'll go back and and sit down and actually I'll tell you I'll let
Speaker 0: you Yeah. Please.
Speaker 2: Ex I'll explain all the charges exactly. Okay. But just because you have her on the phone, that's the only reason why I'm making her explain
Speaker 0: it. She that's fine. As much as
Speaker 2: I am too.
Speaker 0: My mom. That's fine. Okay. Can you give your phone to somebody? And then I'm gonna call Jaquette, and then I'll call I'll call her, Cindy I mean, not really Gary right now to see to get details for her, tell her.
Okay. I'm I'm in the middle. I need to tell my boss. I'm not telling my boss that, obviously. Can she can she tell her boss that, like I work for the federal government myself.
So I there's for me, for my job security and my children. Are you
Speaker 2: working right now?
Speaker 0: Yeah. I'm in I'm in a meeting, like, right now.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
Speaker 0: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give you that courtesy, and we don't normally do that. To do that. So go ahead and make a phone call to your boss and let him know that you're
Speaker 0: gonna be,
Speaker 2: I guess, out for the rest of the day at least.
Speaker 0: Let me call Let me call her again. I'll pay her in. Right? What the is going on? Do you have all the context for, like, what's going on?
Or, like, what's the sit in the chair? The door because I don't want my children to, like, hear that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Is anyone else here adult wise?
Speaker 0: Yeah. Yeah. They are.
Speaker 2: Dad dad is here. Okay. Just because we don't obviously wanna leave the kids.
Speaker 0: No. Yeah. That's fine. Alright. So, Destiny Yeah.
Just calm down. I'm gonna talk to you, kid. I'm gonna call Gary to see what's going on. It's so crazy, but far for what? I have no idea.
I have no idea. Who asked do you think if it's a warrant or something? I don't know. I thought it I thought it was for something for her, like, Jack Cat, what he's handling with the ticket that I took care of for at the Deerfield Beach Courthouse. I thought that's what it was for, but I'm like, there's no way because I'm not scheduled to go back to that hearing until May 9.
Alright. Let me let me call Jacquette. I'm gonna go here with you, and see which one is better. I don't know how long I'm gonna be here.
Speaker 2: She'll be able to let me give her my phone number.
Speaker 0: Can she can you take her number? Do you have a pen? Yeah. Can. And, again, let me have can I speak to Kim?
You're on speaker. She can hear you clearly. Hey, Kim. Hi. How you doing?
Thanks for being thank you for doing this. Thank you for giving me the information you didn't have to. That's not me.
Speaker 2: No problem. Let me know when you're ready for my number.
Speaker 0: Speak to anybody without your training. You say? I understand that, mom, but I don't I mean, they're gonna arrest you. They're gonna I know that I can't go to jail, mom. I understand.
So because you have to go. I don't know what's going on, but you can't fight it. Yeah. You'll get another charge. I know that I can't do that.
The attorney. You have to go with them. I mean, they're repeating. They're good people. Believe me.
But you have to go with them. I'll call JK. I'm gonna call Barry to see what the charges are, and we'll go from there. Okay? Just be calm, but you do not say anything until your attorney gets here.
You are not to say not one thing. Do you understand? Yes, ma'am. I understand. Alright.
And I know you're worried about your job. You tell your job you had to get off? Did you text them? I just sent my boss a ping on Teams. Did you have your boss's number just in case I need to call her?
Because I don't know. Well, you'll be able to call me. Don't worry. So let me let me if you wanna text me while you're there in front of them, your boss's number or something just in case. Mom, you cannot tell my VP that.
I'm I'm not going to tell her that. I'm I'm smarter than that. Can you just tell them I'm tell them I'm sick? I haven't taken off any time in over a year. Just tell them I'm sick or in the hospital or something.
Speaker 2: Okay. So you've had a chance to reach out to
Speaker 0: the boss? I'm mess I'm still messaging him right now.
Speaker 2: Okay. And then I'll have you leave your watch here so that you don't have to worry about that when we get there. K. And do you have any other jewelry or anything else that you wanna leave here?
Speaker 0: Don't know. Do need to do you need to take your asthma pump? I don't know if you're allowed to have that in there, but I'm gonna I'm gonna grab Is it inhaler? Yeah. They'll let you add it.
Okay. Go ahead, Jelly. The nurse just signs off on. Okay. Thank you.
Can I ask you, like, a ballpark question of how long do you think I'll be sitting in there? We don't know. Just they it's it'd it could do that. If there's a woman, you know, it could be there, we don't know. But but do the kids see the Yes, mom.
They saw them. So they're not stupid. They know what's going on, and I'm sure they can hear me through
Speaker 2: the window. Somebody. Alright.
Speaker 0: She'll tell her I would have bring them in the room. I already put I
Speaker 2: already put them in the room. How old are the kids?
Speaker 0: But they know. They saw them at the door, and I told Chloe to move. Okay. That's me. Alright.
Let I need to call their attorney. Just go with them. You're you're in good hands. Delray's good. Let me just call the attorney.
Okay? And then I'll reach out to Kim to see what's going on, and I'll call Gary to make sure you're good. Okay. You have no idea what it's for? Mom, I have no idea.
I wouldn't be sitting here right now. I'm literally driving around and walking the streets and going to Trader Joe's as if I'm a free person. Alright, honey. Just just also just double down, I guess, and give him her choice to No. He doesn't know what's going on.
I just told him to hurry up and put the dog away, and I I stepped outside quickly. I didn't even I didn't tell him anything. He knows nothing. Alright. Alright.
Well, let me call Gary. I'm gonna call Gary to see if he'll give me information because he's over he's over the Okay. Alright. I need to tell Alright. Okay.
You got no statistics about the arrestor.
Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah. There's no warrant. Okay. So, obviously, you got the kids and everything, and I'm gonna have her leave her stuff with you so that we we don't have to.
Speaker 0: Yeah. I know how long it should be, you know, like They have they have no idea. I
Speaker 2: asked. Yeah. We don't make that determination. So once she goes up to county, then What
Speaker 0: does that what does that mean? So when we take you,
Speaker 2: we take you back to our police department just for processing and to do paperwork, and then we'll take you up to county jail to process it. How much
Speaker 0: did that show? You know, y'all had, like, a time when it just his judge or anything.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 0: Jessie, stop crying. It's gonna be fine. No. It's not. Jessie, it's gonna be fine.
I need to call my boss, mom. I have to go. And I need to tell the kids get by real quick because they've already been standing out here for a while. Hello? Hello?
Hey, Jake. I have to log off. I have a family emergency, and I'll probably need UTO for the rest of the week. Okay. Ballpark.
Hope everything's fine. Thank you. I have to go, like, right now, so I can't even give you context. But I'm logging out for the day. And if you could just, like, put UTO in for me so that I can at least, you know, get paid and whatnot.
Okay. But I I have to step away, like, now. Okay. Alright. Thank you.
Bye. Okay. Can I just say bye to my kids?
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, we don't really want you to go back in. So that's the only thing.
Speaker 0: You know what? Ring light? You got out of this. God. Don't I just don't I don't want them to I don't want that type of anxiety to sit with them.
You want us to, like, step up and one of us stay with you and the kids take them out and just tell them that you gotta come and talk to us at the station or something like that? Yeah. That way you don't have all four of us standing around when they come out and then we go through. Wait. Wait.
Wait. Wait. I'm here. Good with that. Okay.
Thank you. Don't know. Can I use your shirt, please? This is not getting the job done.
Speaker 2: Does the nose ring come out or no?
Speaker 0: No. It does. It does not. Just make sure that this one earring. Which one do want to put the bee on the ride there?
Was she I Or remember, you wanna bring it purely to the live? No. Close it. It's I I called my boss, and I told them, I said, I have a family emergency. I have to go.
Yeah.
Speaker 2: No belts or anything in his pockets or anything like I
Speaker 0: don't even know what to tell them. Like, what do people No.
Speaker 2: Just tell them that you're coming back to talk to us about something. For now. Yeah.
Speaker 0: Okay. Then we'll then
Speaker 2: we'll get I mean, it could be tonight. You know? I I just don't know. I know. I don't wanna tell you
Speaker 0: One thing, and it's gonna
Speaker 2: be tomorrow when it's tonight. I don't want you know? Yeah.
Speaker 0: It's not even, like, I can tell you what. Mommy has a work trip, because I travel for work sometimes with DC and stuff.
Speaker 2: Do you know his number or do you want him to write numbers down?
Speaker 0: You have you know my number by heart. I'll look home with you. Okay. Got yeah. Let's call.
Okay. Okay. Check check on the table in there. Checking my checking my white tote bag. Yeah.
You have them? Yeah. Yeah. We got it. Okay.
Did you check the account? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Alright.
Alright. Hey. I'll call you. Alright. Alright.
I love you. I'll see you later. I let you Little bit, man. No. No.
No. You got it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you walk down to the car, but we don't cut you in front of the car. Alright.
Speaker 0: Would you mind cutting me here? That's why I said, we can
Speaker 2: go right between the cars over here. So we're gonna go in this car over here.
Speaker 0: Place the

Speaker 0: What is
Speaker 1: the charge? Eating a meal, a succulent Chinese meal.
Speaker 0: We were, enjoying a a succulent meal with many glasses of the old the grape juice, of course, the red grape.
Speaker 2: An American Express investigator followed a man he thought was one of Queensland's most wanted to a valley restaurant.
Speaker 0: There was a suspicious looking character a couple of tables away looking at us. And every time I turn, he'd put his head down and pop a dim sum into his gob.
Speaker 2: Minutes later, police had the business surrounded then sent in a delegation.
Speaker 0: The police fell on the place. Come running in. Even one of them had a gun in his hand, and I said, what the devil's going on here? What do you want? Get up.
You're under arrest. You're an international criminal. I said, I'm just a poor, struggling artist. How dare you? Get up.
And they, you know, took me out, and, I think there was all these TV cameras outside, and they, there it is. That's what you see on the Internet now.
Speaker 3: You're under arrest.
Speaker 0: Look. I'm under what? Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest.
Speaker 1: What is the charge? Eating a meal, a succulent Chinese meal.
Speaker 0: We're supposed to be living in a democracy, and here they're dragging me out of a restaurant after enjoying halfway through a succulent Chinese meal. That's what I thought. Well, gentlemen, this is Democracy Manifest. Democracy manifest.
Speaker 2: And he didn't appreciate the way he was handled.
Speaker 1: See that chip over the heat.
Speaker 0: Get your hand off my penis.
Speaker 2: It took 6 officers to restrain him whose major concern was the meal he'd left behind.
Speaker 1: Wait. What is the charge? Eating a meal, a succulent Chinese meal.
Speaker 0: Well, it was succulent, so I suppose it just flew into my head when when they were trying to put handcuffs on me.
Speaker 2: Eventually, they had him in custody.
Speaker 3: I believe that it's all to do with stolen credit card debt.
Speaker 0: They took me anywhere. They took me down to the watch house, city watch house, and then they realized that I wasn't this, international gangster. They didn't charge me with anything, so away I went. But ever since then, people have been putting this thing up there on the Internet.
Speaker 4: I understand that he has played small parts in numerous amateur theater groups. He seems to be just a a prolific false pretender.
Speaker 2: But only hours after his arrest, the watch house granted him bail, leaving the police red faced and empty handed.
Speaker 4: We are sincerely sorry that, he obtained bail, but none of this situation. He was allowed to have bail.
Speaker 0: And then they've told me that, no, Wes, hurry. We thought you were somebody else, and and I'm not quite sure who they meant. Might have been some, Hungarian chess player called Dosa. And, apparently, he used to go into Chinese restaurants and dudd them and and flee without paying for the meal or something or other. But how would that make you an international criminal?
You know, must have I still haven't found out. I'm not even interested in finding out. I'm too busy trying to do some paintings.
Speaker 2: Edwards is also wanted for questioning in New South Wales over several forgery matters.
Speaker 3: Jack, I'd love to know what you were thinking that day as you have hauled out of that restaurant and you saw me and my cameraman standing there. This is obviously very preset up by the police. What was going through your mind as you saw our cameras? And did the presence of our cameras make you turn on that wonderful theatrical, performance that day?
Speaker 0: I thought, well, here's an opportunity to prove my innocence because they've dragged me out thinking I was some sort of an international gangster when I knew that I wasn't. So here's a chance, the camera for the people of Australia and, let democracy manifest itself gloriously. And that's why I carried on. Of course I had been somewhat influenced by the, the juice of the red grape. And I wish I hadn't met you then at the time.
Speaker 3: And did Jack, why were you using so many names? Who were who are you really? Who were you then? And what were you actually being accused of at the time? Because we thought you were the world's most wanted man the way the police were talking, but it turned out it was credit card fraud.
Speaker 0: Credit card fraud? No. I always pay cash. I wonder why they thought that. I thought international criminals wouldn't use credit cards.
Surely not. You asked about names. My name's Jack. It's always been Jack.
Speaker 3: Jack, would you ever do a performance that would top that one, or has that been the best you've ever pulled out of your repertoire?
Speaker 0: Oh, come now. I've I've been on stage with a mate of mine, Jim McNeil, who wrote a play called The Old Familiar Juice. I've starred in that on many an occasion at Saint Martin's Theatre over in, in Perth, Subiaco, so I must have a bit of acting ability.
Speaker 3: Jack, are you surprised about the amount of attention that your performance that day has has gained around the country and around the world?
Speaker 0: Well, I was surprised, but it took me many years for someone to show me that it was up there on the Internet until someone approached me and said, can we put it up and, sell bottles of wine with your face? The wine incidentally is called get your hand off my pinonois. And I said go ahead as long as you I get a cut out of it. Well, this one here, not finished as you can see, but that's me that on that video thing on the Internet. But I've got myself here as I look now.
I will look like me when I'm finished. Me arresting myself then. Me now arresting me myself then. Down here, that's going to be me again back in those days trying to put the handcuffs on myself. And, that's just just stuff from that, got all got to be finished as you can see.
Gentlemen, I hope you'll enjoy my cooking. Suppose some have ever cooked a succulent Chinese meal. There was a time when they arrested me once for eating 1. Let's say the police don't come down the driveway and do it now. Apparently, that was my crime, eating a succulent Chinese meal.
Here we go. Look at that rice. Hit it with some more olive oil. Here we go. Let us imbibe and enjoy.
Can I serve a plate for you now? I hope this is no criminal act doing something like this out here in the bush in the freedom. That is succulent.

@iluminatibot Stan Meyer explains the Water Fuel Technology. https://t.co/skoqJI1RrU
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker discusses the water fuel cell technology, which allows cars to run on water instead of gasoline or diesel fuel. The technology involves a water fuel cell injector that replaces the spark plug in the engine. The water is processed and converted into thermal explosive energy inside the engine, and the burn rate of hydrogen is adjusted to match that of fossil fuels. The system is safe and requires minimal maintenance. The technology can be applied to various modes of transportation and industrial processes. The speaker also mentions the potential for using the technology in desalination and handling toxic waste. The ultimate objective of the technology is to stabilize economies and support world evangelization.

Speaker 0: The new base, Dandymeyer, new boat is a garage and, have a netsane, water powered auto by the grain. Why don't we walk over the disputed ports and sending the archives things over. You see the kind of moment need to open
Speaker 1: Just explaining how this thing okay going on. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Can you zoom in back in here? Are we on? Okay. Okay. Now this is the, hydrogen computer system which was designed, in order to be able to process the fuel to produce the hydrogen gas from water and do it economically and be able to control its firing, go in the engine to allow the, the Volkswagen engine to run, off of hydrogen.
There's a lot, engineering design that went into this even though that this is our, our systems engineering approach, the hydrogen system you see here will be miniaturized down to several, IC chips, which will allow us, to give the economics, to apply to a conventional car. Over here, there's very unique design features, that had to be developed in order to, develop the water fuel cell as a retrofit Energy systems to conventional cars, we had to go ahead and develop, develop the laser what we call the laser distributor, As you see right here, which is put between the conventional, rotor cap and out of the rotor assembly, and Primarily what this does, this sets up the electronic signals that goes back and triggers the computer system in order To allow, the car to run successfully on hydrogen. In order to run this, engine off of, water, We've also had to learn the ability to adjust the burn rate of hydrogen to co equal the fossil fuels. We did this by simply now, pulling off a portion of the exhaust gas that's coming from the engine as you see through this tube here, that's going through this electronic regulator that's hooked up to the hydrogen computer.
And basically, what's happening is that as the ambient air is going into the engine and going through the burning process, it produces the non combustible gases That retards the speed by which the oxygen atom unites the hydrogen and bring on gas ignition. So by simply using the the non combustible gases coming from the exhaust of The engine, we now modulate and control the speed by which that oxygen unites with the hydrogen, and therefore, we are adjusting the burn rate Co equal that of gasoline or or fossil fuels or even diesel fuel, and that gave us the number 1, retrofit capabilities of retrofitting The water fuel cell technology to an existing engine, and we do this electronically. The unit that you see right here, we call this a gas processor, And basically, what we're doing is we're ionizing the ambient air gases that is now going into the process, and this allows us To trigger and use the hydrogen fracturing technology and tapping into a higher energy yield coming from the hydrogen. The units you see right here, this is referred as a resident cavity. Water is now fed into the resident cavity through this water tank, and As such, we now expose the water to a very high intense pulse voltage field and restrict the amps, and therefore, the electrical polarization process Now allows us to release the hydrogen economically from water.
And by attenuating the, voltage field, the amplitude of the voltage field, we now can control the rate of the production of the hydrogen gas on demand. So this is what's called referred to as a constant demand generator. We also now extend or allow the voltage amplitude to increase even to a higher level and allow the, the water, Atoms to go into an ionization state, which gives us the ability even to produce a higher energy yield, by producing more hydrogen and gas, on demand. So the fuel now coming from the water, through the electrical polarization process going into resonance, resonance meaning that we're actually Tuning into the dielectric properties of water, it allows us to reduce amp stat flow down to minimum and allow voltage to take over to disassociates the water molecule On demand, and those fuel gases are now coming through this, electronic injector system as you see here. So basically, we're now feeding the ionized air from the, the gas processor.
We're now also taking the The water fuel gases that are now coming from ordinary water, we are now mixing it with the non combustible gases, the air gases, and regulating those, control of the fluid mediums, or 4 fluid mediums. And as a result, now we can, tune in and allow this engine to run off a natural water. This system's approach, this particular unit here is referred to as the VIC or the voltage, intensified circuit, technology. This is being miniaturized down to a very small lightweight system. On a this is demonstrated in our systems engineering approach On the technology that we can apply it to other, applications, not only in the transportation area, but also in industrial applications.
So it was paramount that we would, demonstrate and have the technology solved for design engineering retrofitting, to existing energy consuming devices whether it's whether it's being run-in internal combustion engine or a diesel engine or hook it to an industrial process. So all of these, design interfacing technology is now being solved. We are in the latter stages of what we call the pre engineering system, which will now allow us to miniaturize the technology once we are completed on the design applications, and take it into mass production. Give you a classic example of this. We've also developed, from this technology, which we call the water fuel cell injector.
And basically, this injector now is a miniaturized water fuel cell or miniaturized resin cavity. And this technology now allows us to simply replace we can bypass this part of the system's approach And now simply replace the spark plug with the water fuel cell injector, and as a result now, we can run the water up to the injector, Which is now being processed and being exposed to a very high pulse voltage frequency, and as a result, as the water fuel is being going into the system, Then the explosion takes place inside the cylinder, therefore it makes this an extremely fail safe operable system. The cord you see here is strictly hooks up to a very high intensity voltage pulse and we restrict the amps It's caused the electrical polarization pro process, which in turns the voltage amplitude now takes it and and goes in the ionization state to Performed the hydrogen fractioning technology, and then in turn, the high pulse voltage frequency now allows the ignition of the gases. So therefore, we do this electronically. And so this technology has taken us down to the water fuel cell tech, water fuel injector as you see here today, which gives us a very economical way of simply converting and running a conventional car Order on on natural water.
So basically, what we do is we feed ordinary natural water in here, non processed natural water. We now feed the ambient air gases being ionized. It's being mixed with the water. And then we It makes the non combustible gases going in the system that regulates the control and allows us now to release the thermal explosive energy from hydrogen And do it under control means. Further development on the on the technology centered around also the development, what we call the laser accelerator control.
And this would had to be developed in order to Translate from a mechanical displacement to an electronic, displacement in order to allow the hydrogen computer system To produce the gas on demand based on acceleration control. So what you're really seeing with the water fuel cell as it is today Is that we have a full system engineering approach, allowing us now to use water as a main fuel source to be able to run a conventional engine And run it on water and do it and equal or supersede the performance, of a car running on gasoline and diesel fuel. Many people do not realize that when you run a car or truck on, either gasoline or diesel fuel, you're actually running them on hydrogen, And all we're doing is using the hydrogen from water. And under the National Bureau of Standards figures shows that when you use water, The energy release is roughly two and a half times more powerful than that of gasoline. So water is a very powerful fuel, And all you needed to do was solve the answers to number 1, producing the hydrogen economically, controlling it on demand, being able to adjust the burn rate of hydrogen Gas to co equal the fossil fuels, and the third one was to be able to transport it without spark ignition.
And we've solved all of these problems on the design engineering, And, of course, the water fuel injector, as I've shown you, now gives us the abilities to, Transport the water directly to the fuel injector, which is now going into the voltage zones, which now is performing the the electrical polarization process that goes and triggers the hydrogen fracturing technology, technology, but it's doing it inside the engine. So we all know that natural water, is very stable, And therefore, it becomes a very fail safe operable system as we pointed out earlier. Yeah. We talked about that. Did you mention someone?
Yeah. Yeah. So in a system engineering approach, in mass production, it looks like we can translate and reduce the systems approach down to a unit that costs roughly $1500 per vehicle. For trucks, it will be slightly, larger than that, below $5,000, it looks like, we'll be be able to reach the economics to it and use an ordinary natural water. You add nothing to the water, you don't process the water in any way.
Now here's another, feature to the system that everybody asked me about is is what happens, to the water in the wintertime? Does it freeze up? Well, part of our technology Was in the areas of development what we call a steam resonator. Now since the unlike atoms take on opposite electrical charges, We simply use another part of our technology to restrict the anvil voltage to take over, and therefore, we act to take the water molecules, in turn generates kinetic energy, which in turn heats the water. Now this is phenomenal in the fact we consume very low electrical energy in order to heat the water.
So, there are very far ranging advantages and features to the technology, arranging even in the areas that we now have a way of using voltage By switching off, AMPLOW and dealing with, the environmental control areas, we're developing, the technology in the area is a desalination of saltwater. Whenever you, have a free and abundant energy source like water, it's only limited to the imagination to put it to work. This technology is very applicable to desalination of the saltwater, Handling of toxic, waste, chemicals by high pulse voltage frequency and restrict the amps. We now can separate the molecular structure of toxic chemicals and render them, useless and safe. It also takes us to the technology, of combining unlike atoms that heretofore was not, possible under the natural state of covalent linkup.
This led us to the development of the EPG electrical generator technology, where we're able to manufacture, manufacture magnetized gas that exists at room temperature, and enhance the electromagnetic field without increasing mass. So our technology from since the time of the air embargo has been very far reaching. They give us a comprehensive energy source that we literally can use anywhere into the economies and move in a bilateral movement throughout the economies of the world, to bring an energy source in. And as I pointed out earlier, the pinion energy crisis that's being, will confront us very quickly. We literally have the ability now of engineering systems Engineering it to mass production very, very quickly, and hopefully be able to stem off, this imminent energy crisis that that is now occurring.
A lot of people are not, aware of that Kuwait produces or manufactures the majority of aviation fuel for the world, and it's anticipated, as pointed out earlier that, it's possible as much as 20% drop in aviation fuel, may occur within 6 to 8 months. If that happens, then the domino dominoes effect will occur and will start to trigger, an energy sys an energy shortage throughout the world. The same conditions that happened in the United States is also occurring in the airfields where the natural pressure in the existing, oilfields are dropping. The only difference between the US and the air fields is their their pressure is dropping 3 times faster than occurred in the United States. You just can't keep Pulling the oil out of the ground, I expect it's gonna be there forever.
The hourglass effect is occurring at a more, faster rate now on nuclear power plants. China's opened the doors to Western technology. 25% of the population of the world wants the same goods and services that you and I have been enjoying, and, the industrial base cannot, cannot be maintained or expanded without the supply and utilization of energy, which we have very little fossil fuel left. So it's imperative that that we developed a technology that we can move very quickly, and of course water was the answer to it, because water is a very free and abundant energy source. And so this technology has led us to the abilities of harnessing and using the water, in this particular way, which we call a water fuel cell technology.
Speaker 1: Could you give an indication of the amount of energy Stored in a gallon of water compared to a barrel of oil for instance?
Speaker 2: Yes. As I pointed out earlier, when you separate the hydrogen oxygen Gases and going to the gas ignition process, its energy, releases roughly 2 and a half times that of gasoline. Now note the reference is not 2 and a half times that of figuring out polish. It's 2 and a half times that of gasoline. But in the hydrogen fracturing technology, we have, developed the technology as the Lord has shown me that by igniting the hydrogen and oxygen gases and setting up a condition by which the, water molecule is prevented to form, then we now can tap into a very higher energy yield.
And as a result of this, the hydrogen and fraction technology shows that we can release energy up to beyond 2,500,000 barrels of oil per gallon of water and do it safely. And, as I had shown you earlier, we are now preparing this technology, to be retrofitted directly to a jet commander, which we plan not only to fly around the world nonstop, around the equator, but turn 90 degrees and go from the North and South Pole. So it's a tremendous amount of energy source. And what we've done is found a triggering process to allow us to release this tremendous amount of energy and do it safely. So it gives us the ability to not only, sustain and maintain the economies of the world, but also give us the abilities to, handle the environmental pollution problems at the same time.
We can't keep putting c o two in the air and expect that the energy level is gonna be there even for our plants. And, we all talk about the greenhouse effect, but very few people come up with a viable answer to it. And the water fuel cell technology gives us the ability You get us?
Speaker 1: Good. Tany, can you can you explain the your driving force behind spending all this money and energy developing something like this? This discussion about 10 years of your life. Can you explain why you're doing all this and what really drives you to
Speaker 2: Well, I, I did an analysis during the Arab embargo, as to what actually occurred. I didn't pay any attention to the political leaders as to why we had an energy problem. And I realized that without a new free and abundant energy source to come into the world economy very quickly, then the world economy, could collapse. So, as a scientist, I have a very diversified background from research development, product development engineering, and corporate engineering. And when I realized, the problem that was confronting us, I went into my office laboratory, and as a scientist, I had always, believed that there was an existence of God.
It was, Mathematically impossible that we had derived ourselves in swamp gas. If you gotta have a lot of faith, you have to you have to have a lot of faith to believe in evolution. And so I went into my office laboratory and I said, god, I love my country. It's the greatest country in the world. If you'll help me put a power supply in the country, I'll do anything that, you want me to do.
And subsequently, I was like Paul on on, the road to Damascus. I didn't know the lord, but once, he revealed himself to me, subsequently, I was filled with the holy spirit, and I've been exercising the power and authority of the word of god, bringing this technology in. And many people ask me about, do I fear my life? I have learned the the power of angels, and I have been protected in trying to bring this technology in. The ultimate objective It's not only to stabilize the economies of the world, but, if we realize any funds from the technology, it will go into world evangelization.
You see, I as a scientist, once truth has shown to me, truth is truth, and, of course, I got what I wanted, a ticket to go in heaven. I got filled with the holy spirit. And so as a scientist, truth is truth, and I have responsibility just as I have a responsibility to the water fuel set technology to try to bring it on into the world, I also had the responsibilities to relate the truth, the word of god, not only to the guy, to the next door neighbor or the guy down the block, but also Relate that truth of that knowledge to, every person in the world if I possibly can do it. So the ultimate objective of the water fuel cell technology really Is to help set the financial base of capable of evangelizing the world. Now this is there's a difference between spiritual knowledge and worldly knowledge, and you can't go to the world system And Aston helped evangelize the world and spread the gospel.
But you can go to a world system and give them a cheap, power supply that's so economically They'll save them economically, and then those funds will go into the world of evangelization. So, the water fuel cell technology, really, the ultimate objective is to accomplish the task of evangelizing the world, by giving the financial abilities to do so, and that's my prime that's my ultimate and prime objective. The water fuel cell will give us the abilities to do this. Well, if you notice on my logo, you'll see Job 38 verse 22 and 23. And this is where the lord is talking to Job, and he asked Job this question.
He says, have you considered the traces of snow or have you considered the traces of hell, which I have reserved against the time of trouble against battle and war. Now the interpretation of the scriptures are as follows, is not snow the most beautiful part of our water? That no one snowflake looks exactly the same as that of other? The treasures of snow is the characteristic and knowledge of water. The lord knew that, in fact, that we would have and reach a very critical point in our history that since we won on dependency of fossil fuels, The debt the flow of fossil fuels, may be disrupted.
And as a result, the lord specified that this knowledge of water would come out at a time of great trouble. But he also specified that the knowledge would come out prior to 2 events.
Speaker 1: Okay, sir. Now that we've, now that you've heard How the thing functions? You explained your background, why you're working on this thing. What do you think of possible applications, and where do you think this This device can be applied in what scale and what's the amount of energy we can get out of it? Like, you talked before about converting cars, Commercial airplanes.
Is there any other application you think of?
Speaker 2: Oh, yes. Not only, is this technology applicable for all modes of, transportation, but it also has application in industrial processes. During the air embargo, I was called in a meeting in Columbus, Ohio with the industrial leaders, And Columbia Gas System informed us that our gas was being cut off a 100%. What actually it was telling us that we were going out of business, and I saw some of the most richest and most powerful industrial leaders The state popping pills, and I thought they were gonna have heart attacks because basically without energy, you can't make a, product. If you can't make a product, you can't make profit.
If you can't make profits, you cannot Pay your bills. So result, the bigger you are, the harder you fall, the faster that, you would go on economic, bankruptcy. So it was imperative that this technology not only be, developed for the, transportation areas, but also to apply to industrial applications, be able to give energy. The technology and hydrogen fraction technology that gave us the abilities to go in and to protect the military integrity of the western world. So this technology is applicable not only in those areas, but, for example, during the Arab embargo, our Navy task force, did not have the fuel.
And so as we have the abilities now to go on the maritime applications, literally run the ships off of water, as a main fuel source, and at the same time using the application, It's cleaning up our environment and put preventing from the COT on the contaminants, that go in the air. So we can move this technology bilateral in Every aspect of the economy do it very, very quickly. And so that led us leads us now into the fact that we have been developing this technology, for mass production. And so once, we finalize debugging of the pre engineering unit, then we're gonna translate it into a very cost effective, system, by taking the technology into microchip technology and plastic mold injection technology allows us now to move This type of technology very quickly. Matter of fact, 1 master mold, set, can produce over 11,000 units every 24 hours.
That gives us abilities now to move in a bilateral movement, but to get the energy source throughout the entire world quickly, if, if the oil is shut off, to us, either by war or by some other methods, a lot of people do not realize Saddam has the The viral derm through genetic restructuring that if he uses it, one, it lives off the bacteria of air and water and even of oil. And if he uses this, it's possibly that the oil could be contaminated very quickly. And if that is so, then every country in the world would be face of shutting off the flow of oil to each of their countries. Now without the supply of fossil fuels, within a 180 to 240 days thereafter, about 1,500,000,000 people will be facing starvation very, very quickly, because we need that flow of energy in order to maintain the industrial bases of the world. So we've designed the technology To be very flexible, to use every segment of the economy and do it very quickly.
So we're all in the same boat, and what we're doing is illustrating that, Yes. The technology is viable. Here, we do have a viable technology that we now can use water as a fuel source because water is a very, free and abundant, fuel source. But it's gonna take you and I and the guy down the street and the people in each country to bring this technology, into the marketplace to stabilize our countries. And so as a result, we are, developed it, under the KISS method, keep it simple stupid, to comply with the law of economics that the The cheapest way is gonna win out.
So by decentralizing the mass production of the system and and the and the fabrication of the system And decentralized the installation of the system, then we should be able to move in a bilateral movement throughout, all the countries of the world To get this type of technology into their countries to stabilize their their economic base, if the oil is is cut off by these means Oil simply is being cut off by a lack of supply of oil that's now showing. It's the same natural Pressure that dropped in the airfields, as I pointed out a little earlier, is also occurring in the North Sea. The North Sea, pressure has dropped by 1 third. So we all need energy, and so, therefore, I feel that it's gonna take the people of the world to come together and the leaders of the, the each country to come together in one accord order to allow this type of technology go and to stabilize their economic basis in each each respective country.
Speaker 1: Time scale for mass production set yet? And second, do you have any organization or do you planning an organization international? Or
Speaker 2: Yes. We are. I'm negotiating with many, leaders of different countries of the world, but the ultimate objective is to mobilize, mobilize the masses of the people, in order to bring it in. This is the only way that that that can come in. And, so as we finalize our debugging of the system, and take it into mass production areas, we can do this by simply turning technology over to many, many, fabricators and, people who have certain skills, in the machining areas or mass production areas that'll allow this type of technology to be produced very quickly.
Speaker 1: K. Thanks very much for this interview.
Speaker 2: Oh, my pleasure.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it very much. Thank you.
Speaker 2: You're welcome. Upgrade.
Speaker 1: Okay. Stanley, can you give us some idea about the size of a conversion kit for a car, for instance? We see this all these electronics sitting there, but I guess this is not going to be part of a future upgrade kit for the car, is it?
Speaker 2: No. Basically, what this was a pre engineering unit in order to satisfy the US Code of operability on section, 35, section 101 and it was, developed, as pre engineering to, show the operability of all the different operational parameters of water fuel cell. But in actuality, the entire technology you see here is really reduced down to the water fuel Injectors you see right here, which
Speaker 1: This this is the only thing that's needed for upgrading a car or is there anything else in there?
Speaker 2: No. The water fuel cell injector, which replaces the the conventional spark plug in an in an internal combustion engine, this is hooked up to a water tank. Basically, if you have a plastic, fuel tank in your car, you Simply drain out the the gasoline, flush it out, fill it up with fresh water, then then, the water fuel cell injector Now allows the water to be, transferred. The system approach allows the water to be to go in to the injector, which is now being processed to release the energy from hydrogen. The 2nd part that's hooked up to it is what we've referred to here again as the gas processor, that's ionizing the gas to allow it to come in.
So basically, in retrofit, all we're doing is simply tapping off the exhaust gases from the conventional engine. We're now using the gas processor To utilize the ambient air to ionize the gases, which is now mixing with the water, which now converts it to water fuel, we're allowing the water fuel to go into the into the injector That's now, plugged into our, replaces your spark plug and allows the engine now to run off the thermal exposure engine from hydrogen. So basically, all we're doing is taking a gas, gasoline out of the tank, fill it up with water. We now, replace the spark plug with the water fuel cell injector, And we now hook a small little miniaturized computer which controls and meter mixes the gases going in in the engine to allow, the engine to, accelerate and de accelerate. So the installation is a quite, very small, lightweight, compact electronic, control system.
Speaker 1: Okay. Now the distributor, is it going to be the same? Can I use the same distributor? Or do you have a modified version? Or is there anything additional to it?
Can you explain a little bit?
Speaker 2: We, we do modify the distributor as it's shown over here. We simply take off the conventional gas, Gas rotor cap out of conventional engine and we put the laser distributor, in between the, the distributor assembly and the cap And this now sends the signals to the, computer system which will really be, composite of several ICG IC or Integrated circuit chips that miniaturizes the the hydrogen computer system.
Speaker 1: This whole hydrogen stuff. Isn't it extremely explosive in the car? Is there any danger involved? What's the safety aspect of our own?
Speaker 2: No. We have actually solved the problem. There's no storage of hydrogen whatsoever. The water goes into the injector, which now allows it to go into a high pulse voltage zone, which performs electrical polarization process. So the water is only converted into thermal explosive energy as it enters the injector, so the thermal explosive energy is now occurring inside by the engine.
So the electronic system is designed to regulate and control the explosion of the energy. It's now co equals that of gasoline, so it's a tremendously fail safe operable system.
Speaker 1: Okay. So it's safe. It's a small system. Yes. What about Maintenance of the car engine itself, do I need more maintenance?
Is it different? Is there anything do I have to modify anything on the maintenance schedule?
Speaker 2: No. Just keep the same, maintenance, as you you have it, since you're releasing thermal explosive energy into the engine And you're co equaling the the burn rate of gasoline and there's very little maintenance. If there is, Any maintenance at all, we developed the, technology years ago that we could really impregnate the cylinder walls, of the engine with Teflon And we can even, integrate and treat the bearings and not only run an engine off of, off of the Teflon and eliminate the oil. If that occurs, then you can use a product, something like Select 50 in the engine, if you would need it. But the wear factor, since it's a very clean burning fuel, Hydrogen is a very clean burning fuel, then, the engine, oil is not contaminated under the, the old method to run on gasoline or diesel fuel.
So it's an extremely, clean burning fuel.
Speaker 1: Chris Henry, what what about the valves in the engine?
Speaker 2: The the
Speaker 1: the pistons don't don't the pistons burn out because there's no lubrication of the of the lead or any any other additives to the usual gas?
Speaker 2: No. The valves, you know, have been designed, very recently to operate off of, non leather gasoline. And, since we used the exhaust gases to cycle back in to modulate the the burn rate of hydrogen gas, as we Now control the burn rate to coequal gasoline, then the engine temperature, and operations are are duplicating the same thing on gasoline or Diesel fuel. So you don't change the engine in any way, and this allows us now to retrofit the water fuel cell technology to any, uh-uh, existing engine. And it's very important because it now gives us ability, that we can stabilize transportation as we talked about before if the energy is cut off.
Speaker 1: Okay. So now the accelerator, can I still keep the same mechanical accelerator, or do you have a new device for that as well?
Speaker 2: Yes. We developed over here, We've developed the, What we call a laser, accelerator, as you see right here, that, simply is attached to the accelerator pedal And it trans as you press the pedal down, the gas pedal down, it displaces the, Mechanical displacement into electrical impulses which now is fed into the micro minister sized, Computer electronics. So this gives us the abilities now to control acceleration. This type of technology, Has given us the abilities to equal or supersede the performance of acceleration and de acceleration on conventional, cars that's run along gasoline or diesel fuel. So the the hydrogen, being two and a half times more powerful than gasoline, gives us a tremendous amount of performance over the prior state of the art.
It runs very smoothly and, it it has a very unusual sensation. Generally, when you're running a a car on gasoline, you have this Kind of a pause, but when you're running on hydrogen the way we're doing it, it's a tremendous it's a constant acceleration. So it's a it's a extremely very fast Responding, fuel sources coming from water.
Speaker 1: So so you're claiming that performance is equal or better as a normal gasoline car?
Speaker 2: Oh, yes. Definitely. It'll even start up quicker. In the in the wintertime, you're dealing with, liquid gasoline or liquid diesel fuel and you have problems in starting. In cold weather you don't freeze, you don't freeze, gas, gas atoms.
And, so by Converting the water into instant energy, gives us the ability to start the engine very, very quickly.
Speaker 0: When you start an engine in morning for instance. How long does it take before you can drive away?
Speaker 2: Oh, it's it's, an instantaneous startup. Immediately when Paul's voltage frequency hits the the water, it converts it to the gas which now produces thermal exclusive energy. So it's an instant it's an instant type of start. The electronic circuit interfacing gives us the abilities to control a meter of the amount of water that's going in on start condition is as opposed on a run condition. So the computer automatically adjusts between the start condition and the, and the run condition.
So electronically, we have the abilities to adjust for these parameters. And, the same as a conventional car, we also have the abilities to Adjust for, different ambient, air, conditions, going from sea level up into mountain ranges. So automatically, the electronic, circuitry design gives us the abilities to adjust these parameters to give us a very smooth operational, performance.
Speaker 0: But, What about air pressure? I mean, when you go up high in in the mountains, you don't use, ambient air, so that has no improvement on the component of the car?
Speaker 2: No. If you come over here, Here we have a part of, a device with a metal bellows which now allows, to control the amount of ambient air going into the engine, of the car and this automatically allows us to regulate, the ambient air pressures going from sea level up into the mountain areas. So So electronically, these, cylinders you see here, are has sensors that automatically, since it's the amount of ambient pressures, and they're automatically electronically adjusted to compensate it for a difference of air pressure. So this allows us Now they give us tremendous good performance, going from sea level right on up into the into the high mountain regions.

Speaker 0: Oh my 5. It's crazy. Go. You know, I was making. What?
I was making. You sounded like that. No. It's never a Do you know what I'm saying? Turn.
Wow. Help it turn fresh in the roaches there in midmorning. Fucking I guess it was weird. It the place can't fly a little. It would've hit, like, Remember, I'm not sure what it is.
Just reading. Like, it's okay. I don't know. I heard the crash. I looked out my window, and I could see things falling down the building, and I couldn't tell what it was.
Holy shit. I think it's 5 I thought there was a construction going on right now. I was like, that is way too loud for construction. I know. How much is I know.
I just I looked out my window. I saw I saw smoke, and I saw something falling. And I was like, oh my god. It was a bomb. I got I don't know if I'm gone with these.
I can see the fire spread. It's like you know, that whole time is on fire. You see how, like, up really high the cinnabos getting smoke out? Yeah. Oh,
Speaker 1: I heard I thought it
Speaker 0: was. What are we gonna do to get out there? There's the news out there.
Speaker 1: Oh my
Speaker 0: Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.
It's a plane or a bone? The thing is, a plane. The thing is a plane, and that that just randomly fucking exploded. It's not a plane. Look.
That side just blew up. It just blew up 2 minutes ago, way after that one. Over here. Watch Test. Test.
Test. Test. Hello? Hello? I'm having the World Trade Center.
It's not good. Oh my god. Mike and I are here. Yeah. We go standing here.
We're looking right back. It's I'm fucking I love you. Bye. I will. Well, we are we're I got somebody with me.
We're fine. Mike, put your mic on. Mike, put your mic on. Why Why? Oh, shit.
What is it, Mike? Anybody's phone. Correct? Oh my god. Somebody just stop.
I'm just lying. Somebody just stop, dude. Mike, you have to stay away from the cows. You're gonna get killed. Can you please just follow, Mike?
Oh my god. Oh my god. Get Go. Go. Go.
Go. Alright. Hello? I have I have That's 30 some odd floors.
Speaker 1: Hey. It's me. How are you? I'm just trying to information about what the plan is. We have photographs for you guys.
These visuals are unbelievable. Are they doing a cut in? What what's the plan? Can you help me out? We are as close as we can to it.
They will not allow us directly over it. They have banned us from the area. Police are asking that we stay back so they can do what they need to do. The initial, guess out of the different air towers is that it was a 727 or a 737. It may even have would have been 2 planes.
We're not sure. The 2nd plane hit while they were live on television. Can we go around to the other side? I understand. We are on.
We can't hear you. This is Air 11. I do. We need to keep an eye on our fuel, And, we'll have to fuel obviously, not at the we're not there. I have my key, I think.
Yeah. Go ahead, Daniela. I'm never getting home today. All bridges and tunnels to and out of the city are closed. The airports are closed.
There is a no fly zone in force over Manhattan Right now, military armed military personnel are actually forcing that no fly zone. Here's what else I know. World Trade Center, each was hit. The first shortly before 9 tower 1 was hit shortly before 9 AM with what appears to be an ATR plane, which is a prop plane. The 2nd tower, which is tower 2, was hit shortly after that 18 to 20 minutes afterwards.
That and that, they believe, was a 7/27. I have Information on the 7/27, the wingspan the wingspan, how long it is, how much fuel it carries. I have statements from the president. I know what he said. I know about, the the times before.
I can't. I'm not getting anything up. Oh, it is. The Pentagon's on fire? God, my husband's down there.
The what? Yeah. You see riots that the Pentagon's been hit too. Turn on CBS. Yes.
All all tunnels in and out of New York City. All bridges are closed at this point. All airports are closed. Logan Airport's closed. The Pentagon has also been hit, and Washington Mile is also on fire.
Oh my god. It was a 757 out of Boston that was hijacked. An American Airlines flight. Yes. Go ahead, Marcia.
Marcia, here's some information for you guys. Fire is breaking on the lower floors now. It's starting to spread below where it looks like the plane hit. That could possibly be from the fuel spill or it could be just The fire has now started to eat below itself. The 757.
Holy cow. That's huge. No. I've got, a lot of stuff off the other other things though. Major, military institutions have all been evacuated.
They're evacuating the state department right now. You know, all airports are closed. Can we stay up? Right. They're evacuating LaGuardia Tower.
They are evacuating the airport tower. It's Melinda. Listen, they've evacuated LaGuardia Tower. I just want you guys to know, LaGuardia Tower has been evacuated. I have a knot in my stomach.
I'm so FAA has ordered all aircraft across the country to land at the nearest airport. Does that mean us too? Ray, I just heard on 7 that they've the FAA has banned oh, wow. Look at that video. Holy cow.
Oh my god. What's going on? On channel 7, it's like the side of the building just blew out, Jed, on the other side. The one side we can't see. It just blew out.
Look at it. Oh my god. Are we landing? Anthony, the whole second tower collapsed. The whole building is gone.
The whole building. Daniella, did you hear me? The entire second building collapsed. It is gone. They are letting us stay up.
I'm not sure why. Newark is allowing us to stay up. We're Only the news helicopters are allowed up out of the entire country. We're like 5 people in the air. That's it.
There is additional fire. My husband works right there. My sister-in-law works across the street with the world trades. Yes. We have recorded all of it.
My husband works next door. Yeah.
Speaker 0: 430-6475.
Speaker 1: 430 6475. No. They're letting us stay up. I'm not sure why, but they are. I guess because they realize it's a newsworthy event.
I mean, FAA has banned all aircraft from being up the air. Thanks. Alright. Get over it. Tom's a big guy.
Take care of himself. He'll be fine. I have I have well, I talked to them. I have so many friends who live work in that building. You have no idea.
I have a lot of friends who work my sister-in-law works across the street from the World Trade Center tower too. I'm sure he's fine. I'm sure he's fine. I talked to Tom when it first happened, but my sister-in-law works across the street from tower 2. Yeah.
