1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,760
We've been talking for decades.

2
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,680
World War III was going to be a cyber war, and everybody for the last couple decades

3
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:30,640
had been saying, oh, we need to shore up our infrastructure, our power plants, our traffic

4
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:37,400
signals, our hospitals, and those are all very true statements, but not a lot of attention

5
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,740
was ever given to shoring up the hacking of mankind's shadow.

6
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:11,320
I don't want to set the world on fire.

7
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:13,320
Who do you think is pulling Biden's strings?

8
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,140
Is it former Obama officials?

9
00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:20,080
People that you've never heard of, people that are in the dark shadows, people that...

10
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:20,660
What does that mean?

11
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:22,020
That sounds like conspiracy theory.

12
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,120
Dark shadows, what does that mean?

13
00:01:23,140 --> 00:01:24,220
People that you haven't heard of.

14
00:01:24,220 --> 00:01:30,080
When the first Shadowgate trailer was aired, a little-known anonymizer project called

15
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,440
ION2 was scrapped.

16
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:38,320
The first installment of Shadowgate demonstrated that the shadow government consists of government

17
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:42,880
contractors, defense, intelligence, security, and so on.

18
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:50,680
On the day of Shadowgate's release, a well-planned targeted smear campaign by media outlets and

19
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:57,820
social media influencers was launched to distract away from the subtle panic the military-industrial

20
00:01:57,820 --> 00:02:00,900
complex was going through in the background.

21
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:18,040
While everyone was distracted by my bizarre arrest and the mainstream media's hit pieces on the whistleblowers and myself, people didn't notice that the military-industrial complex themselves started pulling pages off their websites in a mad panic.

22
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,900
The movie was actually about, you know, Dynology, Jones Group International.

23
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:29,760
He got the military-industrial complex shutting down for a day.

24
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,980
For a day, it was, like, amazing.

25
00:02:32,980 --> 00:02:35,620
You know, everybody's pulling their websites and stuff.

26
00:02:35,620 --> 00:02:45,700
The webpages of Dynology, Jones Group International, Clear Force, were removed, modified, and changed in what appears to be a cover-up.

27
00:02:45,700 --> 00:03:01,220
The day the trailer for Shadowgate 2.0 was launched, where Patrick revealed he was blowing the whistle on Leone, a military-industrial complex psyops contractor, then Leone subsequently pulled pages from their website.

28
00:03:01,220 --> 00:03:11,020
But why? What was so dangerous about Shadowgate and our whistleblowers that the documentary created such commotion and chaos?

29
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:14,480
That is the subject matter for this documentary.

30
00:03:31,220 --> 00:03:36,500
Fake news, yellow journalism, and propaganda have been around for a long time.

31
00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:44,800
The term fake news previously was associated with video news releases, advertisements made to look like news.

32
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,240
There aren't many kids who will pass up a chance to play video games.

33
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,380
And when the holidays roll around, most kids start wishing for more.

34
00:03:52,780 --> 00:03:56,420
But it turns out this sort of activity might actually be good for your child.

35
00:03:56,420 --> 00:04:02,400
Too often, it's hard to tell just by looking at the package which choice is better for you.

36
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,900
As customers walk the aisles, they'll soon see the Great For You label.

37
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:11,620
You just choose one of our professional news readers and one of these highly impressive virtual news studios.

38
00:04:11,940 --> 00:04:17,880
Then send us your news stories together with your logo and any supporting images, and we will do the rest.

39
00:04:18,980 --> 00:04:22,520
Now, fake news has evolved into political spin.

40
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,760
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announcing plans to ban all political ads.

41
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,120
Deceptive reporting and smear campaigns.

42
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:40,760
When it was realized that then-candidate President Trump was likely to win the 2016 election, this new twist on fake news needed a boost.

43
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:48,320
The Smith-Munt Modernization Act of 2012 allowed for U.S. citizens to be targets of propaganda.

44
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:56,520
This opened the door for social media psychological operations to be used domestically within the U.S.

45
00:04:56,780 --> 00:05:08,320
However, IIA, or Interactive Internet Activities, the military nomenclature for social media influence operations, still wasn't legal to use domestically.

46
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,240
But non-attribution techniques made it possible with little or no detection.

47
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:25,700
With these propaganda acts that allow propaganda like the Smith-Munt Act, I mean, do you find that this timing was actually the military industrial complex trying to regain control?

48
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:31,960
Absolutely. Why did we make NPR? Why did Congress make NPR? Why did Congress make the Corporation for Public Broadcasting?

49
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:42,440
They made it because they knew there was a potential bet with television and radio that either corporations or our government could maliciously use these technologies to do bad things to America.

50
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:50,720
So we made these nonprofit organizations to hopefully provide some sort of a bumper, although those have been abused at this point as well.

51
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,860
Why does this keep happening, Mrs. McGrady?

52
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:58,260
Well, racism is like a disease. If you don't treat it, it's just going to get worse.

53
00:05:58,980 --> 00:06:05,300
You've got the Smith-Munt Act in 2012, which helped what was called provide IIA the keys to the kingdom.

54
00:06:05,540 --> 00:06:07,200
That was what we wanted, the keys to the kingdom.

55
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:19,120
Because it was such a problem for us, how do you disseminate information on a chat room with a bunch of Iraqis who are sitting in Iraq, but that chat room is on a server somewhere in the United States?

56
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,120
How do you do that without violating American law?

57
00:06:22,540 --> 00:06:31,020
And plus, how do you do that with ensuring that an American is not going to see that post later on, which does not have attribution for it potentially, right?

58
00:06:31,220 --> 00:06:33,500
And be influenced by it because that's illegal.

59
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:41,380
Well, everyone, good afternoon. On behalf of Fred Kemp, our president, and the entire Atlantic Council family,

60
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:48,660
dedicated or focused on countering propaganda and disinformation act.

61
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:53,240
And no, it doesn't have anything to do with this year's presidential campaign.

62
00:06:53,240 --> 00:07:06,120
Yeah, when John Huntsman came out back in March or so of 2016, trying to promote the Disinformation and Propaganda Act focused on Russia.

63
00:07:06,340 --> 00:07:10,240
The middle of the night of 2016, they come out with the Disinformation and Propaganda Act.

64
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:18,660
It's a massively, what is it, 180 million government program that's funding nothing more than the Atlantic Council.

65
00:07:18,660 --> 00:07:25,800
It funds social justice NGO programs to determine whether or not something's fake news.

66
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,220
If you look closely at the writing of the Act, under Section 2, Sense of Congress, it states,

67
00:07:32,220 --> 00:07:39,780
the United States government should develop a comprehensive strategy to counter foreign disinformation and propaganda

68
00:07:39,780 --> 00:07:45,120
and assert leadership in developing a fact-based strategic narrative.

69
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:52,240
And an important element of this strategy should be to protect a free, healthy, and independent press

70
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,100
in countries vulnerable to foreign disinformation.

71
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:58,420
There's only one problem.

72
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:03,700
The Act makes no mention of domestic propaganda and disinformation.

73
00:08:04,340 --> 00:08:10,240
One could argue that this Act was done to prevent Russian interference in the elections.

74
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,420
However, if sophisticated non-attribution and misattribution technology

75
00:08:15,420 --> 00:08:21,120
is used to make domestic propaganda and disinformation appear as though it is foreign,

76
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:28,580
then these two acts together actually made domestic propaganda and disinformation legal,

77
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:36,520
opening the door to sway elections and go after political dissidents in the name of protecting a free,

78
00:08:36,860 --> 00:08:38,900
healthy, and independent press.

79
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:40,860
They say, well, we're stopping propaganda.

80
00:08:41,140 --> 00:08:42,720
We're going to stop this fake news.

81
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:45,180
Who's going to stop the fake news and the propaganda?

82
00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:48,160
The government and the politicians?

83
00:08:48,460 --> 00:08:50,420
They're the ones who propagate all this.

84
00:08:50,420 --> 00:08:53,280
They're the worst producers of fake news.

85
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,480
And they're going to be in charge of watching us.

86
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:01,480
Since the 2016 election, the use of domestic propaganda and disinformation

87
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:07,060
through the dissemination of fake news on both sides of the political aisle

88
00:09:07,060 --> 00:09:11,840
has escalated to the point of nearly destroying our First Amendment,

89
00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:16,160
the Constitution, and the social fabric of our country.

90
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,980
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

91
00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:21,660
I think you get the idea there, what's going on.

92
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:25,180
All these anchors and all these markets are required to read this script.

93
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,120
Really, what it's doing, it's kind of like the Fox Fair and Balance slogan.

94
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,920
It's a way of saying, we're fair, everybody else is biased.

95
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,420
We're fair, everybody else is biased.

96
00:09:35,780 --> 00:09:38,900
Russian hacking and meddling in the presidential election.

97
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,180
That there was Russian meddling.

98
00:09:40,540 --> 00:09:41,540
That Russia meddled.

99
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,340
The Russian meddling.

100
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,500
Russia's meddling.

101
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:54,620
The only thing that can stop this is the full and complete exposure

102
00:09:54,620 --> 00:09:58,060
of the fake news industrial complex.

103
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:04,400
Patrick Berge, a decorated veteran of both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars,

104
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,220
has come forward as a whistleblower.

105
00:10:07,220 --> 00:10:14,420
In Shadowgate, he exposed Dynology and Clearforce for their abuse of power.

106
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:21,340
Dynology, which developed a classified tactical psychological operations management tool

107
00:10:21,340 --> 00:10:29,000
through government contracts, commercialized it and made it publicly available as the Shadownet,

108
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:37,020
a military-grade psyops tool that used Jungian psychology as a weapon, hence the use of

109
00:10:37,020 --> 00:10:39,160
one's own shadow against them.

110
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:45,620
Ironically, the whistleblowers, the producers of the Shadowgate documentary, and myself came

111
00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:46,940
under such an attack.

112
00:10:47,220 --> 00:10:52,120
There is a viral, you know, I don't know if you want to call it a YouTube video or whatever,

113
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,000
it's not a documentary that was produced called Shadowgate.

114
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,020
I don't know what's going on, but, like, they're not in touch with reality.

115
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:07,560
Had I known how demonic this thing was going to be, I would have watched it immediately

116
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:09,300
and dissected it immediately.

117
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,380
I feel really bad.

118
00:11:10,460 --> 00:11:13,560
I feel like I could have stopped this thing from going viral.

119
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:18,060
It's my task I want to do, and I go shopping for money from billionaires.

120
00:11:18,220 --> 00:11:22,580
And a lot of times these billionaires give me money to go do what I want to do to find

121
00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:23,340
out information.

122
00:11:23,860 --> 00:11:25,640
They call me the hammer sometimes.

123
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,460
And you're about to find out why.

124
00:11:27,780 --> 00:11:29,560
Did I leave plays behind the curtain?

125
00:11:30,180 --> 00:11:30,460
Okay?

126
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,140
Let me go in.

127
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,060
Do what I do.

128
00:11:35,740 --> 00:11:36,900
Clean it up really quickly.

129
00:11:39,420 --> 00:11:41,520
And, um, bada bing, bada boom.

130
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,600
I'm not going to embarrass anybody who's distanced themselves from them.

131
00:11:45,940 --> 00:11:48,040
But trust me, they don't got anyone on their side.

132
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:54,980
I will call up some friends to dust off some accounts from the Great Meme War, and we'll

133
00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:57,560
see, we'll see who the OG is.

134
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:06,340
This weapon uses a target's fear, imperfections, personal tragedies, past mistakes, anything

135
00:12:06,340 --> 00:12:08,760
embarrassing or defamatory.

136
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:16,820
It is to first discredit, distract, and demoralize them, ultimately dividing them from their support

137
00:12:16,820 --> 00:12:18,900
to destroy their morale.

138
00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:24,900
As a psychological weapon of war, it is extremely effective against the enemy.

139
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:31,720
As a commercialized product, it is extremely effective against a political opponent.

140
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:39,360
To better understand all of the commotion, we begin our story with the war in Iraq.

141
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,860
These are opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign.

142
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:57,480
This is the second floor of the Hawthorne Palace.

143
00:13:00,740 --> 00:13:01,740
This is the victory.

144
00:13:02,420 --> 00:13:03,960
Yeah, Camp Victory.

145
00:13:04,660 --> 00:13:06,960
Not much, but it's home for now.

146
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,020
My boys, which today is their birthday.

147
00:13:10,380 --> 00:13:12,780
I gotta give them, it's their birthday today for me.

148
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,900
Just turned, they just turned once, about an hour ago for me.

149
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:19,400
Anyway, happy birthday, boys.

150
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,460
I love you very much.

151
00:13:21,460 --> 00:13:24,140
What is the Trans Regional Web Initiative?

152
00:13:25,060 --> 00:13:25,580
TRWI.

153
00:13:25,820 --> 00:13:30,320
Basically, that was an initiative to get America's message, right?

154
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:36,820
Who we are, what we stand for, and such, out into Iraq and into other areas in the region.

155
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:45,580
This is my walk back from using that mangy pisser right there.

156
00:13:47,580 --> 00:13:51,640
If you're really going to take an emergency piece, you're in here.

157
00:13:51,640 --> 00:14:03,820
In 2004, a major public relations contract was awarded to IraqX, who later changed their name to the Lincoln Group.

158
00:14:03,820 --> 00:14:13,580
In 2005, contracts upward of $300 million for psychological operations were awarded to the Lincoln Group,

159
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:21,700
Science Applications International Corporation, and Cy Coleman, Inc., a subsidiary of L3 Communications.

160
00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:29,920
Lincoln Group, in 2005, was involved in the TRWI program, which ended up getting outed by a whistleblower

161
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:37,520
for using government dollars, taxpayer dollars, to fund and, like, contract journalists in Iraq.

162
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:47,140
An enormous amount of information is being fed the Iraqi press, both written and television,

163
00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:50,720
that is just plain, factually wrong.

164
00:14:50,980 --> 00:14:58,860
In the first place, we don't know for a fact how and when and to what extent money was given to journalists.

165
00:14:58,860 --> 00:15:08,100
They do not support any practices which is not in keeping with the long-standing traditions of our journalistic profession in this country.

166
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:17,620
This is the front of Saddam's Al-Wassad or whatever palace.

167
00:15:17,620 --> 00:15:23,400
Wow. Look at that.

168
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:25,640
Hmm?

169
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,500
Let me like this a second.

170
00:15:31,060 --> 00:15:32,180
It's good for you.

171
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,600
For news.

172
00:15:36,100 --> 00:15:44,760
Three weeks into the invasion of Iraq, the famous toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue in Firdo Square

173
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,860
was heralded by the media as a symbol of victory.

174
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,580
But it was, in fact, a small event, shaped into greater significance by the media.

175
00:15:53,540 --> 00:16:00,900
Careful examination of those broadcasts and photographs suggests the crowd, which varied in size, topped out at just a few hundred.

176
00:16:01,820 --> 00:16:05,460
And it was, to a significant degree, composed of journalists and Marines.

177
00:16:06,540 --> 00:16:09,360
CNN replayed the toppling every 7.5 minutes.

178
00:16:10,060 --> 00:16:12,440
Fox replayed it every 4.4 minutes.

179
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:19,800
Wide shots from the live coverage, which revealed a more subdued reality, were not replayed.

180
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,540
The iconic images that shape public opinion in America did not reveal the actual scale of the event.

181
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,960
A visual echo chamber occurred.

182
00:16:28,740 --> 00:16:33,760
Rather than find the news, editors urged reporters to focus on what was unfolding on TV.

183
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:45,400
Paying journalists a lot of money to feed, you know, stories kind of gets into damaging the whole First Amendment, freedom of press, things like that,

184
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,980
when you start paying journalists to push a particular narrative.

185
00:16:49,540 --> 00:16:52,760
Was BKSH and Associates a subcontractor?

186
00:16:53,660 --> 00:16:56,280
Yeah, they were a subcontractor, actually, of the Lincoln Group.

187
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,760
And who do you have with BKSH, right?

188
00:16:58,860 --> 00:17:00,500
You have many of the same players.

189
00:17:01,140 --> 00:17:04,740
John McCain says we're fighting in Iraq to plant the seeds of democracy.

190
00:17:05,220 --> 00:17:11,280
But the firm of his chief political advisor, Charlie Black, made millions lobbying for the world's worst tyrants.

191
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:19,260
At the same time that BKSH and Lincoln Group are building up these IIA contracts in Iraq,

192
00:17:19,740 --> 00:17:30,560
you've got others like Leone, like Jones Group, like MPRI, like L3, like GDIT, General Dynamics IT,

193
00:17:31,140 --> 00:17:38,580
all of these people vying for hundreds of millions of dollars in literally IIA contracts.

194
00:17:38,580 --> 00:17:41,900
How did that become interactive Internet activities?

195
00:17:42,260 --> 00:17:48,140
Well, I think they wanted to really get away from some of the dust-up.

196
00:17:48,260 --> 00:17:52,740
I mean, several hundred million dollars in contracts were lost at that time in 2005.

197
00:17:53,060 --> 00:18:02,200
In fact, just a couple months after this first came out, this lady, Mae Shidiak, was almost killed in a car bomb.

198
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,520
I heard a blast. I felt it at the same time.

199
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,760
I was still awake.

200
00:18:09,220 --> 00:18:15,380
I saw, like, a black snow falling over me.

201
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,080
Against all odds, though, she survived.

202
00:18:18,540 --> 00:18:22,660
And actually two other journalists at that time did die in car bombs as well.

203
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,860
Why are journalists dying over there?

204
00:18:24,860 --> 00:18:32,120
Well, I'm thinking, in order for the SIOP community to be able to properly disseminate a narrative or a message,

205
00:18:32,660 --> 00:18:40,560
they have to be able to bring journalists in and control journalism as well to avoid some of the deconfliction.

206
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,720
What happens if they can't control a journalist?

207
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:45,720
Maybe you end up getting blown up.

208
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:51,000
The burned wreck of Daphne Caruana Galicia's car lies in a Maltese field,

209
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,460
flung over a wall by an explosion which killed the crusading journalist.

210
00:18:55,460 --> 00:19:06,160
How far are you separating a journalist from a spy when a state, a government, is paying that journalist to do something?

211
00:19:06,380 --> 00:19:11,920
Russia's FSB security service has arrested a senior Ukrainian journalist for spying.

212
00:19:12,020 --> 00:19:14,640
Iran says Roxana Sabiri is an American spy.

213
00:19:15,180 --> 00:19:19,320
Her father says she's a journalist just trying to do her job, and he demands her release.

214
00:19:19,660 --> 00:19:23,300
There's a fine line between being a journalist and being a spy.

215
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:32,100
In 2008, contracts in the hundreds of millions of dollars were awarded to Leone Industries for influence operations,

216
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:38,560
public relations, and psychological operations similar to the Lincoln Project.

217
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,260
Hey, you just might come on to the down road.

218
00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:42,760
Hey, Sergeant Baggett.

219
00:19:42,940 --> 00:19:43,340
What's up, brother?

220
00:19:45,180 --> 00:19:46,420
Did you really take a picture?

221
00:19:47,140 --> 00:19:48,520
No, I'm videotaping it, actually.

222
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,940
This is an interesting prediction right here.

223
00:19:53,300 --> 00:19:57,000
Hey, don't worry.

224
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,300
We got flipped off driving down through here the other day, too.

225
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:02,840
Yeah, that's some dust for you.

226
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:13,000
So I worked for Leone from January of 2010 to around April.

227
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:19,580
They said that they had overspent bringing like a financial shortfall, so they needed to save money.

228
00:20:19,580 --> 00:20:26,660
But they did it because they had mentioned something like $4 million that they had spent on other properties in Iraq,

229
00:20:26,660 --> 00:20:29,900
and the contract now required something else.

230
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:34,440
See, they had brought us all in and had a meeting with everybody when this happened.

231
00:20:34,740 --> 00:20:38,740
It's sad that everybody that was on the team brought us all into the room and said,

232
00:20:38,860 --> 00:20:39,900
hey, we got this problem.

233
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,780
And I remember it being in the millions of dollars.

234
00:20:42,780 --> 00:20:50,720
I remember the equipment that I ordered, equipment specific to applications and stuff that were predetermined to be necessary for this mission,

235
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,860
were changed by the HR department.

236
00:20:53,240 --> 00:21:01,080
Some woman in the HR department had the ability to modify all the equipment that I had ordered into something completely different.

237
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,740
And by the way, not compatible with any of the stuff we were using.

238
00:21:04,940 --> 00:21:10,180
It ended up bringing like a financial shortfall, so they needed to save money.

239
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:18,780
One of the ways that they did that was having me secure a classified network with Linksys home Wi-Fi,

240
00:21:18,940 --> 00:21:21,220
and I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to do it.

241
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,700
So good luck to you on that.

242
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,260
That's what I had gone to them about, saying, are you freaking people kidding me?

243
00:21:26,540 --> 00:21:29,220
And I'm the information insurance security officer.

244
00:21:29,220 --> 00:21:31,840
I'm the guy who's supposed to sign off on that.

245
00:21:32,340 --> 00:21:33,180
Not going to happen.

246
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,380
There was just a lot of stuff going on, so much so that I, like I said,

247
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,860
I had sent an email to my former IIA chief asking him what he thought I should do.

248
00:21:42,060 --> 00:21:44,180
They just ran a really bad operation.

249
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,140
I left, I resigned and discussed.

250
00:21:47,620 --> 00:21:50,200
Information that we were protecting got out.

251
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,860
Absolutely, people would die.

252
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,820
But then I found out just recently, the owners, Camille Shidiak and I believe,

253
00:21:58,820 --> 00:22:02,820
Rima DuPont owed like $4 million in back taxes.

254
00:22:02,820 --> 00:22:14,940
It was an article by USA Today, two journalists that exposed that resulted in Camille Shidiak attacking those journalists using fake personas,

255
00:22:15,140 --> 00:22:18,260
using fake websites, using it, using IIA.

256
00:22:18,260 --> 00:22:24,260
And I would add, a third-party investigation also determined they used highly advanced anonymity.

257
00:22:25,060 --> 00:22:35,460
So are we talking highly advanced anonymity, like you would get through Intrepid, that has the ability to do not only attribution, non-attribution, and misattribution?

258
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,240
Camille Shidiak had said he didn't use government computers, right?

259
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,700
He didn't use government resources to attack those journalists.

260
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:50,740
Attack them, I would add, in the exact same fashion that you were attacked by USA Today, right?

261
00:22:51,140 --> 00:22:53,520
So USA Today is an IIA victim.

262
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,940
Shadowgate comes out.

263
00:22:55,180 --> 00:22:56,840
Then USA Today attacks you.

264
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:07,860
They attack you for trying to report about IIA when they themselves apparently claim that they were victims of IIA themselves.

265
00:23:07,860 --> 00:23:13,400
You know, people attack us instead of actually looking into the things that we brought up.

266
00:23:14,140 --> 00:23:25,080
Camille Shidiak, co-owner of Leone Industries, a Pentagon contractor, has admitted to criminally targeting journalists for reporting on a failed Pentagon propaganda operation.

267
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:31,420
Shidiak used dirty tricks reminiscent of the FBI's COINTELPRO tactics to target the journalists.

268
00:23:31,420 --> 00:23:40,060
But Leone's co-owner created a batch of fake websites, social media accounts, and a fraudulent Wikipedia page in an effort to smear the journalists.

269
00:23:40,060 --> 00:23:42,580
So let me get this straight.

270
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:52,060
What you're saying is that Leone, the private contractor company that you worked for, misappropriated contract funds.

271
00:23:52,180 --> 00:24:01,640
And at the same time, the owners of Leone owed all this money in back property taxes for their big mansion, their privately owned home.

272
00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:02,500
Hollywood homes.

273
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:02,900
Yeah.

274
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:14,460
So this money somehow doesn't go toward secure systems that would protect the safety of American troops in dangerous territories.

275
00:24:14,740 --> 00:24:20,480
Instead, that money goes towards potentially home taxes or whatever.

276
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:29,240
And yet these troops are now vulnerable because they're securing their locations with Linksys Wi-Fi routers.

277
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:39,200
The vulnerabilities that you have on a $67 Linksys home Wi-Fi, I can break that with a Pringles can from a half a mile away.

278
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:46,720
This is all you need to hack into the confidential business files of many of the city's top companies and finance houses.

279
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,620
A laptop and an aerial built into a crisp can will do the job.

280
00:24:52,180 --> 00:24:56,540
At the moment, most business computers talk to each other through a network of cables.

281
00:24:56,540 --> 00:25:02,460
But increasingly, companies are installing cheaper wireless systems which use radio signals.

282
00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:06,540
Hackers can pick up any stray signals and access the secret information.

283
00:25:06,540 --> 00:25:12,280
And we're in the we're sitting here on a base built for contractors by contractors.

284
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,540
It's called GV or Green Village, right just a few miles from Kabul International Airport.

285
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:24,360
Yeah, it would be very easy to be able to access that information from the outside if you did.

286
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,600
And in fact, not long ago, a few years ago, a big truck bomb took that whole place.

287
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:43,180
One of the interesting things that we found out just from looking at research, like right after you left and decided I'm out, I'm not doing this.

288
00:25:43,180 --> 00:25:48,460
We saw that these were some of the highest mortality death rates with our troops.

289
00:25:48,720 --> 00:26:00,360
So we could then ask, I mean, how likely is it that these troops died because of this misappropriation of funds?

290
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:02,100
I can do you one better.

291
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:18,020
How likely is it that when we left Iraq and General James Jones, retired four-star general, through his company, took the capabilities that we developed, which ended up becoming ShadowNet and made commercially available.

292
00:26:18,020 --> 00:26:33,280
When we left Iraq and took those with us, leaving the four psychological operations group completely empty handed, if we had the ability to still sit there, communicate, to understand what was going on on the battlefield and to be able to communicate our message.

293
00:26:33,420 --> 00:26:36,240
But I do remember them trying to get us to stay.

294
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:48,760
This is how the Awakening Councils or Sahwa fighters took up arms against Al-Qaeda late 2006 and the beginning of 2007, with the support and the backing of the American forces.

295
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:54,280
They can be credited for contributing to the reduction of violence across the country.

296
00:26:55,140 --> 00:27:01,840
And keep in mind that what we did was help talk kids out of actually blowing themselves up before they do it, right?

297
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:13,780
The children love to come and study, and we have elders here as well, because during the civil war they couldn't study, and now the opportunity is here, so they can come and learn.

298
00:27:13,780 --> 00:27:22,160
How many people actually died? How many of our troops died because some kids strapped on a bomb that wouldn't have otherwise strapped on a bomb?

299
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:30,100
But I would argue even more, would we even have ISIS? Would ISIS have taken over after we left? How many people died from that?

300
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:35,940
You can't put a number on it, but you can certainly use your common sense and understand that people probably did.

301
00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:46,780
Without the help and support of the Awakening Councils, an armed group like Al-Qaeda still has the power to control towns and cities once again.

302
00:27:46,980 --> 00:27:53,280
Abu Hudayfa, a local Sahwa leader, says his house was destroyed recently by Al-Qaeda members.

303
00:27:53,700 --> 00:27:58,960
He warns that the withdrawal of U.S. troops will leave his fighters at the mercy of Al-Qaeda.

304
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,220
The Sunni militia, the Sahwa, have been on the front lines.

305
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:09,720
Sheikh Abu Salim, here in the black leather jacket, has led that fight in Samara, in the north of the country.

306
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:17,740
But 20 days later, while the Sheikh was in Baghdad, the militants returned in strength and took their revenge on his family.

307
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,320
Why is it you think that ISIS and Al-Qaeda have come back?

308
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:28,500
After the Americans withdrew, we were neglected by the government, and Al-Qaeda became strong again.

309
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:34,500
I have a letter from the IIA chief back in 2010.

310
00:28:34,820 --> 00:28:40,960
Just before I submitted my letter of resignation to Leone, the IIA chief made it very clear.

311
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:43,040
He's like, listen, this is how it works.

312
00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:48,500
You know, the government, the military, just lets contractors control everything.

313
00:28:48,500 --> 00:29:00,800
Because when that IIA chief, who's like maybe a major now, leaves the army, he's going to submit a resume to Leone, to Dynology, to Angelity, right?

314
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:10,160
And these people are going to pay them, you know, $200,000, $300,000 salaries, where they were making $60,000 or $80,000.

315
00:29:10,420 --> 00:29:16,820
Like he says in that letter, you know, if you turn against them, you're done in the business, right?

316
00:29:17,060 --> 00:29:19,460
So don't turn against them.

317
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,640
Just do the limit of what you're supposed to report.

318
00:29:23,180 --> 00:29:25,120
We'll get this worked out later.

319
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,660
But everybody's just covering their ass at taxpayer expense.

320
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,000
You got to love that one.

321
00:29:33,420 --> 00:29:42,960
We need very badly to understand that defense spending is very important and vital, particularly in the new challenges we face in the world.

322
00:29:43,140 --> 00:29:57,700
When I came back from the Iraq contract in 2008, the day of the debate between McCain and Obama, Dynology was doing John McCain's IT security and social and everything.

323
00:29:57,700 --> 00:30:00,940
But also, just like all sorts of security, right?

324
00:30:01,060 --> 00:30:03,780
So from blocking, from eavesdropping, everything.

325
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:09,120
There were financial filed with the Federal Election Commission of several hundred thousand dollars to Dynology.

326
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:17,820
Now, after McCain won the primary, then the RNC came in, pushed Dynology aside, and replaced them with Manafort.

327
00:30:17,820 --> 00:30:23,520
FEC filings indicate Manafort comes on as a prime, and then Dynology comes on as a sub.

328
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:31,380
That makes sense because 3EDC actually shows on their website, if you go back to the Wayback Machine, they list Dynology as their number one partner at that time.

329
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:38,440
And a New York Times article said that 3EDC, the company owned by Paul Manafort, didn't actually have any products, right?

330
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,380
In Dynology, we had these products, but we didn't actually have salespeople.

331
00:30:42,780 --> 00:30:48,400
So at the same time I'm making the ShadowNet flyers, I'm kind of actually wondering, well, who are these flyers for?

332
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:49,220
But I never knew.

333
00:30:49,860 --> 00:30:52,380
Kind of thinking maybe they were for Paul Manafort.

334
00:30:52,860 --> 00:31:03,560
While collecting documentation to verify Patrick Berge's claims about Dynology and 3EDC being involved in John McCain's 2008 campaign,

335
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,840
we found something very disturbing.

336
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:16,560
If you look at Berge's original FEC complaint about disbursements from McCain's 2008 campaign to Dynology and 3EDC,

337
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,900
the link to the page referenced no longer exists.

338
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,300
However, you can still find it on archive.org.

339
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,380
But if you look at the pages that are currently available on the FEC's website,

340
00:31:30,380 --> 00:31:41,600
the dollar figures are significantly different, showing smaller figures disbursed to Dynology and greater figures disbursed to 3EDC.

341
00:31:41,940 --> 00:31:48,380
This suggests that sometime after Berge's FEC complaint and the release of Shadowgate,

342
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,140
the FEC's own website was tampered with,

343
00:31:52,140 --> 00:32:00,740
altering the financial relationship between Dynology, 3EDC, and McCain's 2008 campaign.

344
00:32:01,180 --> 00:32:05,880
This appears to be illegal tampering with FEC official records

345
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:11,400
and reeks of electronic manipulation of official public records.

346
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:16,660
Both McCain and Obama's campaigns were riddled with alleged hacks,

347
00:32:16,660 --> 00:32:24,600
social media manipulation tactics, record-breaking fundraising, and allegations of fraud.

348
00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:30,520
In 2008, the Democratic National Committee sued the Federal Election Commission

349
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:36,360
for failing its obligation to investigate John McCain's campaign finances.

350
00:32:37,060 --> 00:32:45,100
In 2011, the FEC launched an investigation into the financial records of Obama's 2008 campaign.

351
00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:54,500
In 2013, the FEC fined McCain's 2008 campaign $80,000 for exceeding campaign donation limits

352
00:32:54,500 --> 00:32:57,680
and not reporting all contributions.

353
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:04,600
In 2013, the FEC fined Obama's campaign $375,000,

354
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,500
the largest ever for also exceeding campaign donation limits

355
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:12,420
and not reporting all contributions.

356
00:33:12,420 --> 00:33:19,340
With Davis and Manafort's 3EDC and Jones's Dynology involved in McCain's campaign,

357
00:33:19,660 --> 00:33:25,240
and with General Jones himself being appointed Obama's National Security Advisor,

358
00:33:25,780 --> 00:33:31,720
the bipartisan nature of the military-industrial complex influence over U.S. elections

359
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,180
was never more transparent.

360
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,280
Senator McCain knows me very well.

361
00:33:36,620 --> 00:33:39,100
I worked for Senator McCain when he was a captain.

362
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,460
I've known him for many, many years.

363
00:33:41,460 --> 00:33:44,940
And with these new revelations, one thing is clear.

364
00:33:45,460 --> 00:33:51,000
This same syndicate of corruption is behind the coup against President Trump.

365
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:58,840
Now, it kind of sounds like maybe General Jones was doing some double-crossing.

366
00:33:59,260 --> 00:34:06,560
Because how odd is it to then nominate the person that was running your competitor's campaign, okay?

367
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:07,800
Their IT security.

368
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:08,480
Exactly.

369
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,560
In that same conversation that I had with Jim, he had mentioned kind of snarkily

370
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:21,660
that McCain's email had gotten hacked after we had left.

371
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,360
And he's like, that probably wouldn't have happened if we had kept doing it.

372
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:33,620
I didn't think about it at the time, but I know that both McCain and Obama's emails were hacked back in 2008.

373
00:34:33,740 --> 00:34:39,680
And Jim did make a point of mentioning that it was after Dynology replaced by Free EDC.

374
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:46,740
In a similar way, Tory claimed to have moved passport data of Obama, Clinton, and McCain

375
00:34:46,740 --> 00:34:54,420
off of a State Department server during the 2008 elections under the direction of John Brennan

376
00:34:54,420 --> 00:34:58,240
while she worked at Analysis Corporation and CGI.

377
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:06,740
Now, in the case of Senator McCain, we detected earlier this year, one of the same people

378
00:35:06,740 --> 00:35:16,000
who accessed Senator Obama's passport file also accessed Senator McCain's passport file.

379
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,400
What would be the point of that?

380
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:18,600
What were they trying to hide?

381
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,320
Well, if I removed it, that means someone else was there to replace it.

382
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:30,940
There seems to be a common theme here, IT moving data from one server to another

383
00:35:30,940 --> 00:35:38,640
under the guise of an alleged hack, when in reality, it's for damage control and blackmail.

384
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:43,100
In the battle for power, democracy has a new front line.

385
00:35:44,020 --> 00:35:49,960
It's an online information wall where often unseen hands harvest your personal data,

386
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:55,080
tapping into your hopes and fears for the greatest political yield.

387
00:35:55,080 --> 00:36:01,940
We are not only the largest and most significant political consultancy in the world,

388
00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:06,280
we're used to operating through different vehicles in the shadows.

389
00:36:06,740 --> 00:36:12,600
Prepared, it seems, to ruin their clients' opponents through handouts and honey traps.

390
00:36:13,020 --> 00:36:15,900
Millie, you don't have any sources.

391
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:22,780
It shouldn't be a big surprise that one of the biggest political operatives running disinformation

392
00:36:22,780 --> 00:36:28,340
and hit pieces about Shadowgate, our whistleblowers, producers, and myself,

393
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:33,080
is a former McCain 2008 social media operative.

394
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:39,200
I did do some work for the John McCain campaign and the 2008 convention.

395
00:36:39,340 --> 00:36:44,320
And Ali Akbar, a member of the Republican National Convention floor operations team.

396
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,060
Well, as a party, we stand unified behind John McCain.

397
00:36:47,380 --> 00:36:52,740
Your film alleges that Roger Stone is connected to Cambridge Analytica.

398
00:36:54,540 --> 00:36:58,620
I've pointed out that that's not true and it can't be true.

399
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,080
And that I have primary knowledge of that.

400
00:37:01,700 --> 00:37:07,140
Shadowgate revealed that Cambridge Analytica was a honeypot trap for President Trump.

401
00:37:07,140 --> 00:37:14,180
To create the false appearance, his campaign used Russian military-grade social media tactics

402
00:37:14,180 --> 00:37:21,980
to win the 2016 election, using misattribution technology to create the false appearance.

403
00:37:21,980 --> 00:37:27,480
It was so blatant because it was piloted at the same time that the RNC and the DNC were hacked.

404
00:37:28,220 --> 00:37:30,280
It was all formulated correctly.

405
00:37:30,620 --> 00:37:32,620
I have said to you, it's all coming out.

406
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,460
The question is how?

407
00:37:34,860 --> 00:37:40,560
I didn't conspire to leak Hillary's emails and I have nothing to do with Russia.

408
00:37:41,020 --> 00:37:46,860
So, the fact is, it looks like I did both.

409
00:37:47,180 --> 00:37:48,360
Does it look like you did both?

410
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,420
If I wasn't me, I would say yes, that's what it looks like.

411
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:57,240
They were supposed to sway him because they were supposed to give up the goods to match

412
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:58,060
the Russia hack.

413
00:37:59,180 --> 00:38:04,980
Why would they be running an IAA operation that would be helping Trump win?

414
00:38:05,260 --> 00:38:09,260
Because then we just make it look like Russia was running the Cambridge Analytica program too.

415
00:38:09,260 --> 00:38:11,540
And it admits to it right here.

416
00:38:11,540 --> 00:38:18,700
I am headed to Washington, D.C. for my testimony for the Mueller investigation.

417
00:38:19,420 --> 00:38:26,200
I definitely didn't think that while we're sitting there counting votes that some of those

418
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:35,180
votes were made by people who had seen fake news stories paid for by Russia on their Facebook

419
00:38:35,180 --> 00:38:35,800
page.

420
00:38:36,460 --> 00:38:43,860
Yeah, I worked at Cambridge Analytica while they had Facebook data sets.

421
00:38:44,580 --> 00:38:47,920
Went to Russia one time while I worked for Cambridge.

422
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,320
I visited Julian Assange while I worked for Cambridge.

423
00:38:51,180 --> 00:38:53,600
Pitched the Trump campaign and wrote the first contract.

424
00:38:53,600 --> 00:39:00,420
I have an email from one of our senior data scientists that said that we were actually using

425
00:39:00,420 --> 00:39:02,460
Facebook-like data in our modeling.

426
00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:04,560
The methodology was considered a weapon.

427
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,240
Weapons-grade communications tactics.

428
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:09,260
Well done, Britt.

429
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:14,140
Looked quite tough and you did okay with a winky face.

430
00:39:14,540 --> 00:39:15,260
Little emoji.

431
00:39:15,260 --> 00:39:23,200
Since their whole attempt to have him employ a company to help him win and use these psychological

432
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,320
operations that the left was using, I mean, they're doing it, we should do it, and he didn't.

433
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,380
And that's in the Mueller report.

434
00:39:29,620 --> 00:39:30,960
That's in the New York Times.

435
00:39:31,220 --> 00:39:39,460
There are several instances where he's rejected the opportunity to take advantage of influence

436
00:39:39,460 --> 00:39:46,680
operations, be it IIA-supported or just your standard run-of-the-mill influence operations.

437
00:39:47,020 --> 00:39:49,480
I'm more connected to Cambridge Analytica.

438
00:39:49,820 --> 00:39:53,740
Cambridge Analytica is a company that Bob Mercer owned.

439
00:39:53,820 --> 00:39:59,940
Bob Mercer has given me money in the past to conduct, you know, certain political operations.

440
00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:06,080
So it's no surprise that this same political operative has been on the financial receiving

441
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,000
end by the former owner of Cambridge Analytica.

442
00:40:10,260 --> 00:40:15,760
You called me an IIA asset, which nobody's ever pointed out what an IIA asset is.

443
00:40:16,020 --> 00:40:17,140
You made up a term.

444
00:40:17,740 --> 00:40:20,240
You made up a term.

445
00:40:21,740 --> 00:40:26,720
Nobody's ever pointed out what an IIA asset is.

446
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:31,820
You made up a term so that people would cling on to it.

447
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,480
You're a very nasty woman.

448
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,360
What is the Lincoln Project?

449
00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:42,140
I looked at that and I'm like, OK, this is just an IIA operation.

450
00:40:42,380 --> 00:40:46,700
George Conway is the founder, one of the founders of the Lincoln Project.

451
00:40:47,020 --> 00:40:52,440
But as soon as I scroll down below his name, everybody on there were like former McCain

452
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,940
campaign people, McCain analysts, all these people from McCain in 08.

453
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,340
The Lincoln Project and John Kasich, they've become faces kind of of the Never Trump movement.

454
00:41:01,340 --> 00:41:05,900
And according to the Washington Post, the Lincoln Project pledges to support a Biden presidency

455
00:41:05,900 --> 00:41:09,800
and actively work against Republicans who oppose the former vice president.

456
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,660
If you look at the Republicans that they've been affiliated with in the past, folks like

457
00:41:14,660 --> 00:41:16,840
John McCain, John Kasich, John Huntsman.

458
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,060
You have these connections to John McCain's campaign.

459
00:41:20,260 --> 00:41:22,460
When I say campaign, like 2008 campaign.

460
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:29,340
You have John Huntsman, who was in from 2014 to like 2017, 2018, the chairman of the board

461
00:41:29,340 --> 00:41:30,180
of Atlantic Council.

462
00:41:30,460 --> 00:41:34,440
He actually endorsed the McCain campaign back in 2008.

463
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:41,220
General Jones, my boss and owner of Dynology, they were providing the IT support for John

464
00:41:41,220 --> 00:41:42,060
McCain's campaign.

465
00:41:42,260 --> 00:41:48,360
So you have all of these people tied together, organized, tactical, psychological operations

466
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,860
being committed upon President Trump, along with McChrystal.

467
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,820
So you got McChrystal, who's more like a Democrat.

468
00:41:55,140 --> 00:41:57,460
You've got General Jones, who's a Democrat.

469
00:41:57,820 --> 00:42:02,480
You've got all of these people that have taken these tools that were developed by the Department

470
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,120
of Defense and using them to attack one individual.

471
00:42:06,500 --> 00:42:11,340
They are in a very organized, tactical fashion attacking our president.

472
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:18,180
Think about the implications that Dynology and Anonymizer have since commercialized these

473
00:42:18,180 --> 00:42:23,440
weapons of war into products available to anyone who can afford them.

474
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,120
We did a lot of work with this company called Anonymizer.

475
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,280
Anonymizer, they helped provide some anonymity for us.

476
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:35,300
We had built out a network called ION, which you would actually think would be like a classified

477
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:35,820
thing.

478
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:41,860
But then I look online just recently, and I saw that that company had taken the ION network,

479
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,140
which was Dynologies.

480
00:42:43,420 --> 00:42:45,460
We had actually developed that and such.

481
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:51,260
But they've taken that proxy, non-attribution, even misattribution capability and made it available

482
00:42:51,260 --> 00:42:52,220
commercially.

483
00:42:52,740 --> 00:42:53,720
What is ION?

484
00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:57,600
So ION was basically a non-attributional network.

485
00:42:57,940 --> 00:43:03,240
It helped provide the anonymity, non-attribution, misattribution capabilities.

486
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:08,660
If I'm representing myself as someone who's living in Baghdad and I'm in a chat room or

487
00:43:08,660 --> 00:43:13,480
something where the admin of that chat room can look at my IP and say, oh, he's in Virginia,

488
00:43:13,820 --> 00:43:15,760
you know, he's going to say, OK, what's up with this?

489
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,760
It's the same way that hackers, they can make it look like a hack came from China or came from

490
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,220
some other or even from Russia, right, by making it look like the IP address was from

491
00:43:24,220 --> 00:43:27,280
that region when anyone could have done it from anywhere.

492
00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:28,480
Yeah, absolutely.

493
00:43:28,660 --> 00:43:32,080
I can make it look like I'm coming from anyone coming from anywhere.

494
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,020
I've had these capabilities tested out with all the different agencies.

495
00:43:36,340 --> 00:43:38,920
So I know they're pretty solid and it's always changing.

496
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:43,580
There are literally organizations out there that build these capabilities.

497
00:43:43,940 --> 00:43:47,420
Taxpayer pays them to build these technologies and build these capabilities.

498
00:43:47,420 --> 00:43:51,700
And then they turn around and they license them for commercial availability.

499
00:43:51,700 --> 00:43:55,580
These technologies were demonstrated to exceed the U.S.

500
00:43:55,660 --> 00:44:00,340
intelligence community's ability to pinpoint their source of origin.

501
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,260
The ability to undermine U.S.

502
00:44:03,420 --> 00:44:08,620
national security and the interests of the American people is staggering.

503
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:16,740
It just seems so wrong that all of these military weapons that were developed with taxpayer

504
00:44:16,740 --> 00:44:22,420
dollars were somehow able to be put into the private sector so all these private corporations

505
00:44:22,420 --> 00:44:25,260
could profit off them and use them on Americans.

506
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:26,760
How does that happen?

507
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,240
Well, and then how does that impact national security?

508
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:36,520
Because the government hires these companies to develop non-attribution, misattribution proxies

509
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,100
so that we can not be seen.

510
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:45,160
And then they sell them to presumably people who we could be trying to watch, right?

511
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,040
So it's making our job even harder.

512
00:44:48,820 --> 00:44:53,440
We're building these and then we're turning around and selling them to our adversaries.

513
00:44:53,580 --> 00:44:54,580
How does that work?

514
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,960
And then what are we going to come back to them and make them something that has even

515
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,040
better anonymity?

516
00:44:59,420 --> 00:45:02,300
Because now these guys are, I mean, come on.

517
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,620
Well, this just sounds like the MO of the military industrial complex, doesn't it?

518
00:45:06,620 --> 00:45:14,480
How did anyone from the 17 intelligence agencies determine that Russia hacked or interfered with

519
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:20,880
the election through social media influences when these non-attribution and misattribution

520
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:25,360
technologies could make it appear Russian just as easy?

521
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:32,620
Since Russia has similar capabilities and wouldn't be so stupid as to leave attribution, election

522
00:45:32,620 --> 00:45:35,800
meddling, pointing directly at themselves.

523
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:42,340
Just like with a tangible real-life murder or crime scene, there are hallmarks and tracers

524
00:45:42,340 --> 00:45:44,380
that go along with digital attacks.

525
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:51,100
There is a bipartisan commission that has agreed largely that all of these point back to not

526
00:45:51,100 --> 00:45:52,940
just Russia, but the GRU.

527
00:45:53,060 --> 00:45:59,840
And when we take the MO and this hybrid warfare, which is kinetic attacks with psychological attacks

528
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:06,680
with digital infiltration or what we call hacking, we have a pretty good indication that Russia

529
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:13,720
was responsible for the US election meddling or interference and in this hybrid war.

530
00:46:13,720 --> 00:46:21,000
The hybrid comes from using cyber to infiltrate and attack systems and then using social media

531
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:29,800
to fracture and fragment democratic supporters and those who live within the democratic institutions.

532
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:36,380
With the modification to the Smith-Munt Act of 2012 and the Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation

533
00:46:36,380 --> 00:46:42,920
Act of 2016, Dynology Anonymizer, now Intrepid, could technically interfere

534
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:43,920
in the election.

535
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:49,460
U.S. intelligence officials are warning of a new election interference threat and it's

536
00:46:49,460 --> 00:46:56,000
from the same source on behalf of politicians of their choosing by masking domestic propaganda

537
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,000
and disinformation as foreign.

538
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:05,500
Multiple sources tell CBS News that intelligence officials warned lawmakers and the White House

539
00:47:05,500 --> 00:47:09,720
that Russians are continuing their efforts to interfere in the 2020 election.

540
00:47:09,720 --> 00:47:16,220
In Emma Brandt's Pentagon Jiu Jitsu, Reshaping the Field of Propaganda, she writes about the

541
00:47:16,220 --> 00:47:23,740
struggles between 2005 and 2009 when planners sought to alter foreign and domestic audience

542
00:47:23,740 --> 00:47:25,260
targeting norms.

543
00:47:25,260 --> 00:47:28,960
Let's talk about Pentagon Jiu Jitsu.

544
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,260
What is the academic significance of that paper?

545
00:47:32,260 --> 00:47:35,720
The moment I read it, I was like, wow, this person knows exactly what's going on.

546
00:47:35,720 --> 00:47:42,380
So we started to see them doing these big data projects for the military and so on.

547
00:47:42,380 --> 00:47:50,400
And it started to change the kind of target audience analysis, how those groups were being

548
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:55,620
profiled by the military, then was being taken out and deployed in elections.

549
00:47:55,620 --> 00:47:58,720
These firms are working in multiple domains.

550
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:06,380
You have commercial data use, you have military data use, and you have political data use in

551
00:48:06,380 --> 00:48:12,220
the same company, and we have no regulation over what is happening in the United States.

552
00:48:12,220 --> 00:48:15,480
They knew all the acronyms, they actually knew what IIA was.

553
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:20,880
Oh my God, somebody actually referenced the military nomenclature for everything everybody's

554
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,720
been talking about the last five years.

555
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:28,060
I found it interesting that she was trying to show people that there was a war that was

556
00:48:28,060 --> 00:48:33,340
going on between the SIOP community and the public affairs, the PAO.

557
00:48:33,340 --> 00:48:39,540
Policies were brought in to coordinate and overcome discordance in foreign domestic messaging

558
00:48:39,540 --> 00:48:45,180
by psychological operations and information operations personnel.

559
00:48:45,180 --> 00:48:50,760
Rhythms that would allow us to deconflict and coordinate and ensure that we weren't committing

560
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,760
information fratricide.

561
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:59,860
Practices became ultimately coordinated to ensure messages would not contradict and to maintain

562
00:48:59,860 --> 00:49:05,100
strategic control of messages for different audiences.

563
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:11,880
Legislation was amended in 2012 to allow public diplomacy propaganda previously restricted

564
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:17,060
domestically to be disseminated within the United States.

565
00:49:17,060 --> 00:49:22,560
Syop messages were increasingly entering the domestic media.

566
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:29,580
Protection of independent journalism and oversight of private contractors wielding algorithmic warfare

567
00:49:29,580 --> 00:49:32,400
have never been more important.

568
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:40,060
Notice Bryant makes a clear distinction between independent journalism and private contractors wielding

569
00:49:40,060 --> 00:49:42,060
algorithmic warfare.

570
00:49:42,060 --> 00:49:50,060
Amid concern over fake news, as Murad actors grapple to dominate amid complex informational threats,

571
00:49:50,060 --> 00:49:57,060
audiences lose autonomy in their legitimate claim over this space as vulnerabilities are exploited.

572
00:49:57,060 --> 00:50:05,060
Whether domestic or foreign, when seen as information terrain or operational battle space, people are not sufficiently

573
00:50:05,060 --> 00:50:12,060
considered as also actors holding equity in the information environment of their own minds.

574
00:50:12,060 --> 00:50:22,060
Let me repeat, people are not sufficiently considered as holding equity in the information environment of their own mind.

575
00:50:22,060 --> 00:50:39,060
Let's call the PAO journalists, because if you're an American and you're a journalist and you're working for the PAO and you then leave there and go to work for someone else, like let's say USA Today later on, and you were paid to write articles for the PAO in the military.

576
00:50:39,060 --> 00:50:50,060
Or let's say you're in the Navy, let's say you work for a public affairs office in the Navy, and let's say you're paid to do a certain narrative or put a certain story out and then you leave that job.

577
00:50:50,060 --> 00:51:03,060
Can you be trusted having been paid to disseminate a narrative before by the Defense Department to be sitting in that chair telling people what they're supposed to be trusted to believe?

578
00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:12,060
So when the PAO pays someone overseas to disseminate a narrative and that person comes back and goes to work.

579
00:51:12,060 --> 00:51:15,060
What we're defending is the people's right to know.

580
00:51:15,060 --> 00:51:18,060
As a journalist in the US, how do you know?

581
00:51:18,060 --> 00:51:19,060
Their trust has been destroyed.

582
00:51:19,060 --> 00:51:22,060
That was the argument Emma was trying to make in that.

583
00:51:22,060 --> 00:51:28,060
That was the argument that the PAO, the public affairs office, that was the debate they were having with the SIOP.

584
00:51:28,060 --> 00:51:35,060
If you are damaging the credibility of our establishment, then you are endangering First Amendment protections.

585
00:51:35,060 --> 00:51:37,060
You're endangering the freedom of the press.

586
00:51:37,060 --> 00:51:39,060
You're damaging the Constitution.

587
00:51:39,060 --> 00:52:04,060
If we continue to accept or even participate in the use of military grade SIOPs by mainstream media, social media influencers and bloggers alike, in order to control the narrative and counter narrative, we risk not only losing a free, healthy and independent press, but we risk losing our minds.

588
00:52:04,060 --> 00:52:20,060
Do you have any people being paid by the CIA who are contributing to a major circulation American journal?

589
00:52:20,060 --> 00:52:25,060
We do have people who submit pieces to other American journals.

590
00:52:25,060 --> 00:52:39,060
Do you have any people paid by the CIA who are working for television networks?

591
00:52:39,060 --> 00:52:48,060
This, I think, gets into the kind of getting into the details, Mr. Chairman, that I'd like to get into an executive session.

592
00:52:48,060 --> 00:52:58,060
Mainstream media or legacy media has a long history of intelligence operatives and their prodigy running the news.

593
00:52:58,060 --> 00:53:05,060
Mika Brzezinski, her father is, you know, the father of influence operations and psychological warfare.

594
00:53:05,060 --> 00:53:12,060
She's a towering figure in American foreign policy and extended member of the NBC News family as well as a big Neb Brzezinski.

595
00:53:12,060 --> 00:53:23,060
Jillian Turner, Fox News host, was also vice president of Jones Group International, doing an interview with her old boss and my old boss.

596
00:53:23,060 --> 00:53:29,060
Chris Wallace's father, Mike Wallace, was a Navy communications officer.

597
00:53:29,060 --> 00:53:30,060
I'm Mike Wallace.

598
00:53:30,060 --> 00:53:31,060
My name is Mike Wallace.

599
00:53:31,060 --> 00:53:32,060
I'm Mike Wallace.

600
00:53:32,060 --> 00:53:33,060
I'm Mike Wallace.

601
00:53:33,060 --> 00:53:34,060
I'm Mike Wallace.

602
00:53:34,060 --> 00:53:41,060
He said that you could do a better job at negotiating an arms control agreement with the Soviets than some of these professionals who've been trying to do it for years.

603
00:53:41,060 --> 00:53:42,060
I didn't say me, Mike.

604
00:53:42,060 --> 00:53:43,060
I said somebody has to do it.

605
00:53:43,060 --> 00:53:44,060
If it were me, that'd be fine.

606
00:53:44,060 --> 00:53:45,060
I could do it.

607
00:53:45,060 --> 00:53:47,060
Somebody has to help this country.

608
00:53:47,060 --> 00:53:51,060
And if they don't, the country and the world are in big trouble.

609
00:53:51,060 --> 00:53:54,060
Anderson Cooper interned with the CIA.

610
00:53:54,060 --> 00:53:56,060
Hey Anderson, we had a great interview last time.

611
00:53:56,060 --> 00:54:00,060
I was wondering if you get a chance to look into Operation Mockingbird.

612
00:54:00,060 --> 00:54:02,060
You know what that is.

613
00:54:02,060 --> 00:54:05,060
You're talking about something, what, from the 1950s, dude?

614
00:54:05,060 --> 00:54:10,060
1970s official declassified program, how the CIA infiltrated the mainstream media from the higher up.

615
00:54:10,060 --> 00:54:11,060
All right.

616
00:54:11,060 --> 00:54:12,060
It's declassified.

617
00:54:12,060 --> 00:54:14,060
I read about it in college.

618
00:54:14,060 --> 00:54:15,060
Yes, I do.

619
00:54:15,060 --> 00:54:16,060
Thanks.

620
00:54:16,060 --> 00:54:24,060
The View is a classic example of IIA having so-called Republican Never Trumpers on a liberal-based

621
00:54:24,060 --> 00:54:32,060
program, like Meghan McCain, the daughter of John McCain, whose 2008 campaign is connected to nearly

622
00:54:32,060 --> 00:54:35,060
everyone involved in the coup against President Trump.

623
00:54:35,060 --> 00:54:39,060
We are back with a man who needs absolutely no introduction.

624
00:54:39,060 --> 00:54:41,060
Joe Biden himself is here.

625
00:54:41,060 --> 00:54:47,060
You may remember when you were a little kid, your dad took care of my bull.

626
00:54:47,060 --> 00:54:54,060
And Abby Huntsman, the daughter of John Huntsman Jr., who was instrumental in the Countering

627
00:54:54,060 --> 00:54:58,060
Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016.

628
00:54:58,060 --> 00:55:04,060
Please welcome live from Russia, Abby's dad and U.S. ambassador to Russia, John Huntsman.

629
00:55:04,060 --> 00:55:06,060
There they are.

630
00:55:06,060 --> 00:55:12,060
However, influence operations are strong within alternative media as well.

631
00:55:12,060 --> 00:55:20,060
How many IIA assets are you aware of are in social media as influencers?

632
00:55:20,060 --> 00:55:28,060
Just doing the math on what I knew for a fact in ways that I cannot always, in ways that I can't

633
00:55:28,060 --> 00:55:30,060
extrapolate any further on.

634
00:55:30,060 --> 00:55:38,060
But if I expanded that out logically to different countries, you're talking like in the thousands.

635
00:55:38,060 --> 00:55:49,060
In a report I did titled Exclusive Deep Inside a Leftist Troll Farm, it has now become apparent that I was reporting on an IIA operation.

636
00:55:49,060 --> 00:55:51,060
I just didn't realize it at the time.

637
00:55:51,060 --> 00:55:55,060
We were able to watch this troll farm in action.

638
00:55:55,060 --> 00:56:02,060
Our undercover also gained access to detailed instructions about meme generation and content to troll.

639
00:56:02,060 --> 00:56:09,060
We discovered these trolls were posing as right-wing extremists spreading anti-Semitic sentiment,

640
00:56:09,060 --> 00:56:21,060
while at the same time playing the side of the left, essentially acting as sock puppet A and sock puppet B aimed at controlling both sides of political discourse.

641
00:56:21,060 --> 00:56:34,060
What at first appeared to be mere trolling, promoting a particular political platform, turned out to be a more serious operation engaged in deception and political subterfuge.

642
00:56:34,060 --> 00:56:37,060
Sow discord within Trump's base.

643
00:56:37,060 --> 00:56:41,060
Sock puppet A to push narrative that Trump will drain the Israel swamp.

644
00:56:41,060 --> 00:56:46,060
Sock puppet B to push narrative that Trump is an ally to Israel.

645
00:56:46,060 --> 00:56:54,060
Color the website as hateful by pushing over-the-top racist and divisive posts that make no real contribution.

646
00:56:54,060 --> 00:57:01,060
Flood alt-right Twittersphere with praise for Andrew Yang until the disclosure as a show of power.

647
00:57:01,060 --> 00:57:07,060
When we infiltrated the Yang gang, the operation had to move to the groopers carrying the whole thing.

648
00:57:07,060 --> 00:57:18,060
Let's not forget, Oliver Darcy started tweeting exact talking points, lock and step on time with the Yang 2020 discord instructions.

649
00:57:18,060 --> 00:57:35,060
What's scary is that a new argument could be made regarding this particular IIA operation, which involved useful idiots in both far left and far right extreme groups used to push Yang 2020 through memes.

650
00:57:35,060 --> 00:57:39,060
What's the difference between a knowing asset and an unknowing asset?

651
00:57:39,060 --> 00:57:45,060
You're going to want to have the least amount of people that know what's going on, the better.

652
00:57:45,060 --> 00:57:55,060
And in fact, if you're running, if it's a government operation and it's classified, you're not going to be able to tell someone because it was classified.

653
00:57:55,060 --> 00:58:07,060
Actually, you'll find that most people don't really know any of what's going on above them or if they know anything, it's only a very small amount.

654
00:58:07,060 --> 00:58:18,060
Few people like myself and Jones or somebody who absolutely have to be involved in creating it are going to have the understanding of all of these things.

655
00:58:18,060 --> 00:58:24,060
If you're doing it. OK, I get it. Everybody's kind of doing it at one point.

656
00:58:24,060 --> 00:58:28,060
If all the Democrats are doing it, how are Republicans supposed to win if they don't do it?

657
00:58:28,060 --> 00:58:33,060
So at this point, you got everybody who cares who started it, right?

658
00:58:33,060 --> 00:58:41,060
Everybody's doing it, but it's getting really bad because they've lost all empathy.

659
00:58:41,060 --> 00:58:45,060
They've lost all understanding of humanity.

660
00:58:45,060 --> 00:58:49,060
They're starting riots in the streets.

661
00:58:49,060 --> 00:58:54,060
They're journalists running in and getting themselves arrested.

662
00:58:54,060 --> 00:59:01,060
They're actually becoming the news to create the news to generate more clicks.

663
00:59:01,060 --> 00:59:06,060
Useful idiots pushing fake news stories generated from, let's say,

664
00:59:06,060 --> 00:59:16,060
Chan boards or fake news websites or bogus blogs could serve as the case in point for government regulation of free speech and journalism.

665
00:59:16,060 --> 00:59:26,060
This could destroy the First Amendment through a synthetic fake news problem, giving the government a new tool for targeting political dissent.

666
00:59:26,060 --> 00:59:30,060
In other words, weaponizing censorship. Sound familiar?

667
00:59:30,060 --> 00:59:36,060
Do you think it's pointless to out all the IAA assets?

668
00:59:36,060 --> 00:59:40,060
It's like a game of whack-a-mole. You take one out, just be replaced by another.

669
00:59:40,060 --> 00:59:45,060
They're a dime a dozen. So you need to take them out. You need to take the funding source out.

670
00:59:45,060 --> 00:59:53,060
Let's not forget who's working with Facebook to target fake news in the name of preserving the integrity of elections.

671
00:59:53,060 --> 01:00:04,060
General Jones was tapped as the chairman of the board of Atlantic Council to replace Huntsman, John Huntsman.

672
01:00:04,060 --> 01:00:14,060
One of the first orders of business that he did with the Atlantic Council was to create a partnership with Facebook.

673
01:00:14,060 --> 01:00:24,060
Facebook partners with General Jones at the Atlantic Council to restore election integrity worldwide, right?

674
01:00:24,060 --> 01:00:31,060
So the best out of seven billion people on the planet, Mark Zuckerberg picks the owner of the shadow net.

675
01:00:31,060 --> 01:00:36,060
How did anyone ever determine that the Russians hacked the DNC server?

676
01:00:36,060 --> 01:00:46,060
Oh, yeah. We're supposed to believe that the Russians left breadcrumbs out there so that the 17 intelligence agencies could determine it.

677
01:00:46,060 --> 01:01:03,060
17, 17 intelligence agencies, civilian and military who have all concluded that these espionage attacks, these cyber attacks come from the highest levels of the Kremlin and they are designed to influence our election.

678
01:01:03,060 --> 01:01:11,060
This turned out to be false and the mainstream media had to issue retractions and fire people. Remember?

679
01:01:11,060 --> 01:01:20,060
As you know, the IC was a coordinated product from three agencies, CIA, NSA and the FBI, not all 17 components, the intelligence community.

680
01:01:20,060 --> 01:01:24,060
We're going to speak to Chris Slow, the chief technology officer at Reddit.

681
01:01:24,060 --> 01:01:28,060
And then we're going to go to Renee DiResta at the Stanford Internet Observatory.

682
01:01:28,060 --> 01:01:34,060
We'll talk on the phone with John at the Oxford Internet Institute and then Jeremy Blackburn at the iDrama Lab.

683
01:01:34,060 --> 01:01:39,060
It's a group of scientists and academics that use math and science to try to detect this stuff.

684
01:01:39,060 --> 01:01:43,060
OK, so this guy went into depth to find out.

685
01:01:43,060 --> 01:01:50,060
Is there some type of large scale coordinated inauthentic activity on Reddit? Is that a thing?

686
01:01:50,060 --> 01:01:51,060
Yes, absolutely.

687
01:01:51,060 --> 01:01:56,060
Jeremy and the iDrama Lab team were able to create a report with fascinating implications.

688
01:01:56,060 --> 01:02:00,060
This yellow line is what we're interested in because it's Russian troll activity on Reddit.

689
01:02:00,060 --> 01:02:03,060
Troll activity seems to slow down for a while.

690
01:02:03,060 --> 01:02:12,060
And then when the moment is right, in this case, right before the 2016 election, a percentage of these accounts surge into action and try to influence society.

691
01:02:12,060 --> 01:02:17,060
However, if you actually read the academic paper, Who Let the Trolls Out?

692
01:02:17,060 --> 01:02:30,060
It says although the exact methodology used to determine that these accounts were state sponsored trolls is unknown based on the most recent Department of Justice indictment.

693
01:02:30,060 --> 01:02:31,060
Wait a minute.

694
01:02:31,060 --> 01:02:37,060
But then how does this paper go on to make any claims about who was running these troll farms?

695
01:02:37,060 --> 01:02:48,060
The data set appears to have been constructed in a manner that we can assume essentially no false positives, while we cannot make any postulations about false negatives.

696
01:02:48,060 --> 01:02:49,060
Say what?

697
01:02:49,060 --> 01:03:08,060
In other words, because non-attribution and misattribution technology, these trolls could have been coming out of Virginia, where Dynology is, where Clearforce is, and where the 91st Cyber Brigade of the National Guard deployed the ShadowNet last year.

698
01:03:08,060 --> 01:03:29,060
Furthermore, if you look at who has funded this academic paper, it says this project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation, which is the European Union 2020 flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe's global competitiveness.

699
01:03:29,060 --> 01:03:30,060
Hmm.

700
01:03:30,060 --> 01:03:36,060
I wonder which presidential candidate in 2016 was pro-EU.

701
01:03:36,060 --> 01:03:40,060
That's why we are discussing possible negotiations with the European Union.

702
01:03:40,060 --> 01:03:55,060
In any case, we need to work with the U.S., we need to engage, probably under the new administration, under the new administration, because we know that the Trump administration is unfortunately supporting this unilateral action.

703
01:03:55,060 --> 01:04:05,060
However, if we consider the very likely scenario that these trolls are IIA and that the contractors like Leone, like Dynology, like McChrystal,

704
01:04:05,060 --> 01:04:10,060
are operating, then this data becomes very intriguing.

705
01:04:10,060 --> 01:04:28,060
For one, we can see there are some meaningful peaks in account creation between July 3rd through 17th of 2016, which was right before the start of the RNC, which was July 18th through the 21st, where Donald Trump was named the Republican nominee for president.

706
01:04:28,060 --> 01:04:52,060
Which was also when Manafort took over the Trump campaign, which we know was the entry point for Trump's campaign to almost get snagged by the Cambridge Analytica honeypot scheme, part of the plot to create the illusion that Trump was elected not by the American people, but through Russian interference and election meddling.

707
01:04:52,060 --> 01:05:10,060
If we look at the troll farm activity during the Charlottesville riots, we see that 190 accounts were created between July 2017 and August 2017 during the run-up to the infamous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

708
01:05:10,060 --> 01:05:21,060
Taken together, this might be evidence of coordinated activities aimed at manipulating users' opinions on Twitter with respect to special events.

709
01:05:21,060 --> 01:05:33,060
I was there at Charlottesville, observing what at the time I called a deep state operation, which I now recognize as an IIA operation.

710
01:05:33,060 --> 01:05:41,060
It's important to know why I went to Charlottesville. I noticed some irregularities surrounding the original Unite the Right event page.

711
01:05:41,060 --> 01:05:49,060
I noticed a lot of troll accounts on there from both extreme right and extreme left accounts, pushing different narratives.

712
01:05:49,060 --> 01:06:00,060
I saw the media pushing a bizarre narrative. Everything was working up for some big crescendo, and I just knew that I had to be there to figure out what was really happening.

713
01:06:00,060 --> 01:06:07,060
It has been hijacked by these media outlets, by the Antifa, and now the alt-right agitators.

714
01:06:07,060 --> 01:06:15,060
I'm an internet troll. That's all we're here to trigger them. I want George fucking Soros to send me my check. I'm an outside agitator.

715
01:06:15,060 --> 01:06:20,060
This guy, I recognized him. He was at the RNC. He's an organizer for Occupy.

716
01:06:20,060 --> 01:06:25,060
The rally's organizer, Jason Kessler, he says he attended Occupy Wall Street event.

717
01:06:25,060 --> 01:06:32,060
I'm kind of a free agent. You know, I kind of bounce around. I got a few friends from every group.

718
01:06:32,060 --> 01:06:40,060
I'm kind of on my own. I don't know. I just want to be able to, I don't want to have these loyalties to one group, you know, so I can do whatever I want to do.

719
01:06:40,060 --> 01:06:47,060
Democrats or Republicans, it doesn't matter. You know, as long as a check clears with these people, they will work together.

720
01:06:47,060 --> 01:06:56,060
I just wanted to say one quick thing on Charlottesville. I said that this looks like the deep state was involved in it because it looked like it was a huge setup.

721
01:06:56,060 --> 01:07:06,060
So much for foreign propaganda and influence. We're actually looking at domestic propaganda and influence to control our elections.

722
01:07:06,060 --> 01:07:16,060
If you can make a conversation into a two sided thing instead of a three sided or four sided or whoever sided thing, it becomes much easier to control it, right?

723
01:07:16,060 --> 01:07:25,060
If there's two very clearly opposing points of views, black and white, now it's easier to control the narrative because people get locked into one of those points of views or the other.

724
01:07:25,060 --> 01:07:41,060
Should we be surprised that this YouTuber seems to know so much yet skirts the line somehow avoiding a subject everyone in this video should know about if they are experts on social media manipulation and influence operations.

725
01:07:41,060 --> 01:07:47,060
Effective social media weapons, which can then be deployed to understand how these disinformation campaigns work.

726
01:07:47,060 --> 01:07:49,060
This particular troll operation was underway.

727
01:07:49,060 --> 01:07:51,060
What I think you're talking about is information operations.

728
01:07:51,060 --> 01:07:55,060
Sebastian Bay works for the NATO's strategic communication center of excellence.

729
01:07:55,060 --> 01:07:59,060
NATO is fully aware of the destructive nature of social media manipulation.

730
01:07:59,060 --> 01:08:04,060
We have a team of investigators and these are people who come from everything from the intelligence community to law enforcement.

731
01:08:04,060 --> 01:08:06,060
If the bad actor and the good actor are here.

732
01:08:06,060 --> 01:08:08,060
Oh, you get to change the battlefield at any point you want.

733
01:08:08,060 --> 01:08:09,060
Exactly.

734
01:08:09,060 --> 01:08:14,060
Military is aware that this is a big deal. They know it's a big deal and it's hard to win a war without a map.

735
01:08:14,060 --> 01:08:16,060
I don't know if it's ever been done.

736
01:08:16,060 --> 01:08:18,060
That's pretty good, dude.

737
01:08:18,060 --> 01:08:28,060
Sorry, but that looks way too much like IIA conducted by a public affairs officer as part of an information operation.

738
01:08:28,060 --> 01:08:35,060
For the past 15 years, I have been a federal employee, specifically something called a Department of Defense civil servant.

739
01:08:35,060 --> 01:08:39,060
It's because I'm not a journalist. I'm not a politician. I'm a rocket engineer.

740
01:08:39,060 --> 01:08:46,060
We the men and women of the Army Test Evaluation Command have been tasked with the job of protecting soldiers by testing their equipment.

741
01:08:46,060 --> 01:08:50,060
Wait, what? This is getting ridiculous.

742
01:08:50,060 --> 01:08:53,060
So let's look at the IIA picture here.

743
01:08:53,060 --> 01:09:05,060
On one hand, we have the left, which is pushing the Black Lives Matter narrative that there's a major problem with police racially targeting African American men and killing them.

744
01:09:05,060 --> 01:09:12,060
Protesters turned out in droves, many for the first time to call for change in a system they say discriminates against black Americans.

745
01:09:12,060 --> 01:09:22,060
Then we have the Blue Lives Matter on the right pushed by conservatives where you're beefing up and trying to get more funding and resources to the police.

746
01:09:22,060 --> 01:09:32,060
With violence against police officers on the rise, a growing number of states are passing so-called Blue Lives Matter laws to classify violence against officers as a hate crime.

747
01:09:32,060 --> 01:09:36,060
In IIA, it's important to have a false dichotomy.

748
01:09:36,060 --> 01:09:41,060
False dichotomy is also known as false bifurcation or the either or fallacy.

749
01:09:41,060 --> 01:09:46,060
Basically what this is is claiming that there are only two options when in fact there are more.

750
01:09:46,060 --> 01:09:53,060
So that both sides are fighting against each other and neither side is actually putting forward a valid solution.

751
01:09:53,060 --> 01:10:04,060
A protest in support of police was met by counter protesters angered by incidents of police violence as they marched towards the 6-8 precinct in Bay Ridge.

752
01:10:04,060 --> 01:10:12,060
The two sides clashed when you make it all about race or you make it all about just blindly supporting the police and everything they do.

753
01:10:12,060 --> 01:10:19,060
You're excluding important conversations that need to be had to protect Americans' rights and civil liberties.

754
01:10:19,060 --> 01:10:28,060
The left and the right coming together to talk about police brutality and people having their rights violated as a whole.

755
01:10:28,060 --> 01:10:47,060
And in excluding those discussions, you're allowing for the establishment bulking up and beefing up the police while using technological advancements in algorithms and AI to further control the American population.

756
01:10:47,060 --> 01:11:00,060
They are now even saying, and they have articles written on this, about how we need to move towards having algorithms make decisions whether or not someone gets released on bond or risk assessments.

757
01:11:00,060 --> 01:11:07,060
Whether or not a police officer should use deadly force or should be concerned about their safety based on these algorithms.

758
01:11:07,060 --> 01:11:14,060
They're saying that this is the solution to the racial bias that these police officers are inflicting on people.

759
01:11:14,060 --> 01:11:18,060
This is their Hegelian dialectic, so to speak.

760
01:11:18,060 --> 01:11:24,060
Some departments are also considering drone surveillance and body cameras equipped with facial recognition technology.

761
01:11:24,060 --> 01:11:31,060
This video from the maker of an AI-powered body cam demonstrates how the technology could be used to find a missing child.

762
01:11:31,060 --> 01:11:34,060
Not shown? How they could use it to track suspects.

763
01:11:34,060 --> 01:11:44,060
Meanwhile, cities across the country have embraced a predictive policing approach that focuses not on high risk people, but on high risk places, putting entire neighborhoods under watch.

764
01:11:44,060 --> 01:11:53,060
Problem, reaction, solution. The solution being technology in policing, which should scare us all.

765
01:11:53,060 --> 01:11:59,060
RoboCop. He is OCP's newest soldier in their revolutionary crime management program.

766
01:11:59,060 --> 01:12:04,060
Robo, excuse me, Robo. Any special message for all the kids watching at home?

767
01:12:04,060 --> 01:12:05,060
Ow!

768
01:12:05,060 --> 01:12:07,060
Stay out of trouble.

769
01:12:07,060 --> 01:12:10,060
What is NISPOM and how does it relate to Clearforce?

770
01:12:10,060 --> 01:12:15,060
NISPOM is kind of like the OSHA of companies with clearances, right?

771
01:12:15,060 --> 01:12:25,060
So if you have an employee who has a government clearance like secret, top secret, NISPOM regulates what's involved with that to try to maintain security with it.

772
01:12:25,060 --> 01:12:31,060
After 2013, Snowden, Dynology decided, hey, let's build the Clearforce app.

773
01:12:31,060 --> 01:12:41,060
And they started working on the Clearforce application to create predictive behavioral models so that they could scrape social media like Intrepid does and such.

774
01:12:41,060 --> 01:12:48,060
Social media scraping, collect all the information on people, then they tie that in with their financials, their medical, all of these things.

775
01:12:48,060 --> 01:12:51,060
They create these predictive behavioral models for them.

776
01:12:51,060 --> 01:13:01,060
In a very predictive way, the 1950s sci-fi story by Philip K. Dick, The Minority Report, has come to life in our time.

777
01:13:01,060 --> 01:13:04,060
Police departments have already been using it.

778
01:13:04,060 --> 01:13:18,060
In what are called heatless, predictive programs designed to use risk assessment in predetermining whether or not a crime is going to occur and or who is likely to commit it.

779
01:13:18,060 --> 01:13:25,060
Like the dystopian artificial intelligence law enforcement referred to in Shadowgate 1.

780
01:13:25,060 --> 01:13:31,060
The scary thing here is, is that they've done overviews and studies of the system.

781
01:13:31,060 --> 01:13:40,060
And they've found that oftentimes there are people that get flagged as high risk when they themselves have never even had a criminal record.

782
01:13:40,060 --> 01:13:46,060
Police in Santa Cruz, California are getting closer to the sci-fi future using this algorithm.

783
01:13:46,060 --> 01:13:53,060
A complicated math equation similar to the one that predicts earthquake aftershocks to predict crime.

784
01:13:53,060 --> 01:14:07,060
If you can imagine the Atlantic Council working with Facebook to put you in Facebook jail, then it's not a stretch to imagine that Clearforce could work with the police to put you in real jail.

785
01:14:07,060 --> 01:14:23,060
So they modify the NISPOM requirements in late 2016, requiring the same predictive behavioral requirements the Clearforce application, which was now at that point launched as Clearforce Company offers.

786
01:14:23,060 --> 01:14:27,060
The NISPOM comes out and announces these are new requirements for NISPOM.

787
01:14:27,060 --> 01:14:38,060
And then two weeks later, General Jones comes out with his new company and Michael Hayden, Obama's CIA director, come out with this new company saying, oh, hey, we've got the solution for you here.

788
01:14:38,060 --> 01:14:45,060
We can help you meet this compliance for a nominal fee of $1,500 a person per month.

789
01:14:45,060 --> 01:14:58,060
Clearforce is a technology company with a mission to create safe and secure work environments for organizations through early discovery automation and compliant actioning of risk.

790
01:14:58,060 --> 01:15:05,060
What they do is they create these predictive behavioral models to determine if you're likely to steal or leak before you've ever even stolen or leaked.

791
01:15:05,060 --> 01:15:10,060
And this same capability is available to any business out there that wants it.

792
01:15:10,060 --> 01:15:23,060
The opportunity to proactively identify employees that may under various types of stress, whether it's health, financial, arrest records, social media use, all these things, and not just say, well, we can't do anything about that because that was outside of work.

793
01:15:23,060 --> 01:15:29,060
Or we shouldn't do anything about that because we don't want to get involved in someone's personal relationship with their boyfriend.

794
01:15:29,060 --> 01:15:35,060
I think that's probably not a wise move.

795
01:15:35,060 --> 01:15:45,060
So if they can use predictive program risk assessments against individuals, would they be brazen enough to use it against a sitting president?

796
01:15:45,060 --> 01:15:55,060
With the new NISPOM requirements in place, conveniently with clear force determining who should and shouldn't get a clearance or government contract,

797
01:15:55,060 --> 01:16:01,060
with the Smith-Munt Act modifications along with the Foreign Propaganda Act in place,

798
01:16:01,060 --> 01:16:08,060
allowing for domestic propaganda masked through misattribution as foreign propaganda,

799
01:16:08,060 --> 01:16:15,060
one thing was needed to take out a sitting president, oversight to make sure nobody was watching.

800
01:16:15,060 --> 01:16:18,060
September 30th, 2016.

801
01:16:18,060 --> 01:16:27,060
Obama knows that within 30 days, if the NSA can't fix the over-collection problem by either dumping data or justifying having it,

802
01:16:27,060 --> 01:16:33,060
the FISA court will order the IG of the NSA to investigate.

803
01:16:33,060 --> 01:16:34,060
So what does Obama do?

804
01:16:34,060 --> 01:16:45,060
He writes an executive order that makes the IG of the NSA a presidential appointment rather than an appointment by the director of the NSA.

805
01:16:45,060 --> 01:16:47,060
November 30th, 2016.

806
01:16:47,060 --> 01:16:56,060
Obama nominates Robert Storch, who is working as deputy IG of the DOJ under Horowitz at the same time.

807
01:16:56,060 --> 01:17:02,060
I'm Rob Storch, and I'm honored to serve as the inspector general at the National Security Agency.

808
01:17:02,060 --> 01:17:08,060
During the transition period from the Obama administration into the Trump administration.

809
01:17:08,060 --> 01:17:16,060
These last few changes during the 2016 election are what facilitated the leaks of classified information,

810
01:17:16,060 --> 01:17:26,060
including the contents of telephone calls between heads of state and laid out the path for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

811
01:17:26,060 --> 01:17:29,060
Let's talk about Spirit of America.

812
01:17:29,060 --> 01:17:38,060
Why does their website literally look like a yearbook of all of the never Trumpers and the people that have been plotting the coup against President Trump?

813
01:17:38,060 --> 01:17:39,060
It does.

814
01:17:39,060 --> 01:17:44,060
General Stanley McChrystal is the Spirit of America.

815
01:17:44,060 --> 01:17:51,060
I mean, Spirit of America is a veterans based nonprofit running ads, running commercials and such in Iraq.

816
01:17:51,060 --> 01:17:55,060
Are there a lot of veteran expats moving to Iraq right now?

817
01:17:55,060 --> 01:17:56,060
I don't think so.

818
01:17:56,060 --> 01:17:58,060
So they're using these organizations.

819
01:17:58,060 --> 01:18:07,060
If you're a legitimate veterans nonprofit operating overseas, now you're going to be looked at potentially as a spy organization or something.

820
01:18:07,060 --> 01:18:18,060
If we take a closer look at Spirit of America, besides being a who's who of those who would benefit from overthrowing the president through an elaborate coup d'etat,

821
01:18:18,060 --> 01:18:39,060
we can see that Tori Mahoney, a different Tori, is the special assistant to the CEO who plans, manages and executes the CEO's schedule and provides research and planning support to special projects and strategic initiatives.

822
01:18:39,060 --> 01:18:49,060
In addition to her political fundraising experience, Tori was a field director for Senator Portman's record breaking 2016 election campaign.

823
01:18:49,060 --> 01:18:52,060
Wow, what a coincidence.

824
01:18:52,060 --> 01:18:57,060
Portman just so happens to be the senator for my district.

825
01:18:57,060 --> 01:18:58,060
What's this?

826
01:18:58,060 --> 01:19:10,060
She also happens to be the scheduler for the House of Representatives during the same period Dynology had the government contract for the Congressional Knowledge Management System.

827
01:19:10,060 --> 01:19:24,060
These official documents suggest the Congressional Knowledge Management System outsourced to a private contractor is hosted, managed and stored in servers in Germany.

828
01:19:24,060 --> 01:19:26,060
This is very disturbing.

829
01:19:26,060 --> 01:19:36,060
She is literally connected to everyone I likely pissed off in Shadowgate 1 and in a position to...

830
01:19:36,060 --> 01:19:39,060
But I'm not gonna go there.

831
01:19:39,060 --> 01:19:48,060
Notice both the Rhino Republicans and Deep State Democrats are still pushing the Russia meddling in our election narrative.

832
01:19:48,060 --> 01:19:50,060
Who benefits from this?

833
01:19:50,060 --> 01:19:57,060
NATO and those who profited from staging a civil war in Ukraine.

834
01:19:57,060 --> 01:20:00,060
President Trump turned his attention to the leadership at the Pentagon.

835
01:20:00,060 --> 01:20:10,060
He says many top military leaders don't support him because he wants to get the U.S. out of wars while they want to keep waging war, mainly to satisfy defense contractors.

836
01:20:10,060 --> 01:20:17,060
Biden shipped away our jobs, threw open our borders and sent our youth to fight in these crazy endless wars.

837
01:20:17,060 --> 01:20:22,060
And it's one of the reasons the military, I'm not saying the military is in love with me, the soldiers are.

838
01:20:22,060 --> 01:20:34,060
The top people in the Pentagon probably aren't because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy.

839
01:20:34,060 --> 01:20:42,060
I didn't vote for any of these people pushing their idea of America overseas, right?

840
01:20:42,060 --> 01:20:44,060
I voted for President Trump.

841
01:20:44,060 --> 01:20:49,060
And if he says, okay, this is the message we want out, then I'm okay with that.

842
01:20:49,060 --> 01:20:52,060
But that's not what's happening here.

843
01:20:52,060 --> 01:21:00,060
What's happening here is you have these people that hate President Trump because they're trying to make money from the Department of Defense.

844
01:21:00,060 --> 01:21:07,060
And he's like trying to cut their their access to the money he wants to pay to put it more into our troops and such.

845
01:21:07,060 --> 01:21:09,060
You have this war between them.

846
01:21:09,060 --> 01:21:11,060
They're constantly attacking them.

847
01:21:11,060 --> 01:21:17,060
They've got Biden lined up for 2020 to be able to get their little game going again.

848
01:21:17,060 --> 01:21:23,060
Maybe Biden's campaign ads should just say sponsored by the military industrial complex.

849
01:21:23,060 --> 01:21:24,060
Beautiful.

850
01:21:24,060 --> 01:21:25,060
Right.

851
01:21:25,060 --> 01:21:27,060
I mean, because that's that's who they want.

852
01:21:27,060 --> 01:21:28,060
Right.

853
01:21:28,060 --> 01:21:29,060
That's their guy.

854
01:21:35,060 --> 01:21:38,060
I'm Joe Biden, and I approve this message.

855
01:21:38,060 --> 01:21:44,060
You believe that Vice President Joe Biden would be a more effective commander in chief over the next four years?

856
01:21:44,060 --> 01:21:45,060
Joe, I do.

857
01:21:45,060 --> 01:21:49,060
I think that he would surround himself with an effective team of good people.

858
01:21:49,060 --> 01:21:52,060
Now with Cindy McCain, widow of Senator John McCain.

859
01:21:52,060 --> 01:21:55,060
Last night, she became the latest prominent Republican endorse Joe Biden for president.

860
01:21:55,060 --> 01:21:58,060
I want a president who has my back.

861
01:21:58,060 --> 01:22:01,060
I've always been on the opposite side of John McCain.

862
01:22:01,060 --> 01:22:05,060
No, I was not a fan of John McCain because he wanted the endless wars.

863
01:22:05,060 --> 01:22:06,060
And I didn't.

864
01:22:06,060 --> 01:22:12,060
I thought that the way the vets were taking care of our great vets was not good, not appropriate.

865
01:22:12,060 --> 01:22:16,060
And of course, he took the fake dirty dossier and gave it over to the FBI.

866
01:22:16,060 --> 01:22:23,060
The Republicans through John McCain and his associates disseminated the fake Russian dossier.

867
01:22:23,060 --> 01:22:30,060
It wasn't until the dossier appears on the scene that they were able to go and get a warrant.

868
01:22:30,060 --> 01:22:35,060
They point their fingers at the Democrats for colluding with the Russians.

869
01:22:35,060 --> 01:22:50,060
The dossier was prepared by a man named Christopher Steele, who was hired by Fusion GPS that was being paid by the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign to do opposition research against candidate Trump.

870
01:22:50,060 --> 01:22:55,060
Meanwhile, the Democrats pushed the narrative that the Russians hacked the DNC.

871
01:22:55,060 --> 01:23:05,060
The FBI learned in July of 2016 that the Trump campaign appeared to have advanced knowledge of Russia's plans to release, quote,

872
01:23:05,060 --> 01:23:12,060
thousands of emails, end quote, to harm Hillary Clinton and help Trump.

873
01:23:12,060 --> 01:23:24,060
The FBI learned this one week after WikiLeaks published 20,000 emails that Russia had stolen from the Democratic National Committee's hacked computers.

874
01:23:24,060 --> 01:23:38,060
And that Paul Manafort, who just so happens to be John McCain's former campaign manager, gave social media data to the Russians to help Trump win the 2016 election.

875
01:23:38,060 --> 01:23:45,060
None of the Mueller report's findings of criminal charges rely on the Steele dossier.

876
01:23:45,060 --> 01:23:46,060
None of them.

877
01:23:46,060 --> 01:24:07,060
The so-called Russian dossier was part of a cover story hiding the fact that the NSA overcollection problem was being used to spy on the Trump campaign candidate and now President Donald Trump all the way up until March 15, 2020.

878
01:24:07,060 --> 01:24:16,060
The alleged impeachment whistleblower was actually a wiretap, hence supersonic hearing capabilities.

879
01:24:16,060 --> 01:24:34,060
Eric Sierra Mella was a decoy to hide the fact that the president was being wiretapped through a 702 data overcollection problem connected to the Sunset Clause, collection problem that the NSA Inspector General Robert Storch oversaw.

880
01:24:34,060 --> 01:25:00,060
None of this was ever supposed to be found out, but Trump won now with an administration in a position to piece this whole thing together, which is why President Trump allowed the Sunset Clause of the Patriot Act, which legalized and enabled the FISA 702 collection of everyone's data to expire on March 15, 2020.

881
01:25:00,060 --> 01:25:19,060
But not before he declared a state of emergency on March 13, 2020, where his people had access for 72 hours to all the data, including the communications of those who were plotting a coup against him. Oops.

882
01:25:19,060 --> 01:25:44,060
The military industrial complex, which has been running both Republican and Democrat Party campaigns, used hacks as cover for removing and replacing memorandums of understanding backdoor deals, blackmail election meddling software emails, etc. from the RNC and DNC servers.

883
01:25:44,060 --> 01:25:57,060
This all came to a head in 2016 when an unexpected mirroring of the DNC server created a situation where domestic meddling in elections could be found out.

884
01:25:57,060 --> 01:26:20,060
So non-attribution and misattribution had to be used to make it look like the Russians not only hacked the DNC and RNC servers, but leaked that information to WikiLeaks and the Trump campaign to falsely claim Trump was colluding with the Russians to win the 2016 election.

885
01:26:20,060 --> 01:26:44,060
But when the Trump campaign turned down the honeypot trap offer from Cambridge Analytica for social media influence operations, which was a setup to make it look like the social media data used by Cambridge Analytica came from the Russians, the shadow government's plot to create a scenario for impeachment of President Trump failed.

886
01:26:44,060 --> 01:26:56,060
So when President Trump spoke with the newly elected president of Ukraine, all hell broke loose.

887
01:26:56,060 --> 01:27:15,060
The Atlantic Council, Spirit of America, Joe Biden, the inspector general of the NSA, people at the State Department, USAID, Jones Group International, a handful of retired generals and their affiliated companies were in serious trouble.

888
01:27:15,060 --> 01:27:22,060
So the second attempt to impeach the president was kicked off, but it failed too.

889
01:27:26,060 --> 01:27:33,060
Though culpable, the FBI is low hanging fruit and James Comey is a fall guy.

890
01:27:33,060 --> 01:27:39,060
If we continue down this cover story narrative, then no one will ever be held accountable.

891
01:27:39,060 --> 01:27:48,060
We are here again today as part of the chairman's examination of Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI's Russia investigation.

892
01:27:48,060 --> 01:28:01,060
Crossfire Hurricane? More like Hurricane Electric being one of the server networks in Germany, inside the European Union, used for this elaborate scheme.

893
01:28:01,060 --> 01:28:24,060
What Millie had shown in her documentary with Patrick and Tori was really a first class body of evidence that the president of the United States should assign a special team of prosecutors, a special inspector general to investigate and prosecute.

894
01:28:24,060 --> 01:28:37,060
Because this really is the, you know, the weak point where the whole house of cards of the deep state and Brennan and Obama and Holder and all of these people could come trumbling down over.

895
01:28:37,060 --> 01:28:45,060
You know, the only person we haven't brought up yet in this Shadowgate series is General Flynn.

896
01:28:45,060 --> 01:29:00,060
We have so many capabilities within the coalition, particularly our human intelligence collection, I think is actually, it's one of the pieces, the components that helps us out quite a bit.

897
01:29:00,060 --> 01:29:05,060
Well, if you're going to talk about General Flynn, we have to talk about Khashoggi.

898
01:29:05,060 --> 01:29:18,060
So I reached out to Craig Timberg with the Washington Post to do the story about the analogy that about a year later was when Jamal Khashoggi was murdered at the Turkish embassy.

899
01:29:18,060 --> 01:29:20,060
I believed he was an IAA asset.

900
01:29:20,060 --> 01:29:26,060
To talk about Khashoggi, we also have to talk about Pakistani intelligence, the Awan brothers, Covington law firm.

901
01:29:26,060 --> 01:29:31,060
In 2016, I got a job at Covington and Berlin in house security.

902
01:29:31,060 --> 01:29:35,060
Our duties were to protect materials, computers, all that stuff.

903
01:29:35,060 --> 01:29:38,060
Eric Holder, high value intelligence group.

904
01:29:38,060 --> 01:29:46,060
Been a part of the deliberations which have established this high value interrogation unit as part of the decision to close Guantanamo.

905
01:29:46,060 --> 01:29:51,060
Brennan, CIA, black ops, all of that falls under that category.

906
01:29:51,060 --> 01:29:54,060
So how do we fix it?

907
01:29:54,060 --> 01:29:56,060
How do we fix it?

908
01:29:56,060 --> 01:29:57,060
With the awakening.

909
01:29:57,060 --> 01:30:13,060
This is a wonderful opportunity for other military veterans, other intelligence officials who were contractors and also who work in the agencies to come forward and join the ranks of fellow whistleblowers and fellow American patriots.

910
01:30:13,060 --> 01:30:16,060
Turns out, Shadowgate is going to be a trilogy.

911
01:30:16,060 --> 01:30:18,060
This isn't a game, people.

912
01:30:18,060 --> 01:30:20,060
But these people are treating this like a game.

913
01:30:20,060 --> 01:30:23,060
And we need to stop it.

914
01:30:23,060 --> 01:30:24,060
Stop it.

915
01:30:24,060 --> 01:30:39,060
I hope you are enjoying the Shadowgate series.

916
01:30:39,060 --> 01:30:43,060
These films are made possible by you, the viewer.

917
01:30:43,060 --> 01:30:48,060
I don't work for any organizations, nor do I work for any news outlets.

918
01:30:48,060 --> 01:30:55,060
