[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=3) Mm. You know, MI6, Mossad, CIA, Five Eyes. [0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=8) In general, where do they sit in the structure? [0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=10) Well, they have a complete, um, hidden covert structure. In general, they came from being contractors to the military industrial complex. [0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=22) They have a narrative called We Work for National Security. [0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=25) Mm-hmm. They don't have to disclose any of their finances other than directly to the president. [0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=32) Well, it's interesting because the way you've laid this all out, if the president works for the f- financial and the military and the technological, well, the CIA works for the president. [0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=44) So- Yeah. But l- let's look a little bit deeper into that. [0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=47) Where does the budget to pay the CIA come from? [0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=51) It comes from military budgets. Right. So what's the, what's the four largest line items on the, the national debt? [0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=58) It's, um, where does all this debt come from? [0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=59) Wait, the CIA budget comes from m- uh, military contractors? [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=63) So you got- No, the milit- the federal military budget. [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=65) Yes. You got- Yes ... you got the Pentagon. [1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=67) Right, exactly. And they're able to fund the CIA. [1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=69) Right. That's kind of like, but who, who-- where does the government get that money from? [1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=76) Bondholders. Bondholders. They're the FIC. [1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=79) And then people leave the CIA and get giant government contracts to work for private- Now- ... private military industrial complex comp- private companies. [1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=86) You got it. So I, I couldn't prove this, I don't know the, the, the... but in my mind, I'm thinking probably 5% of what the CIA does is national security government. [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=97) I think the vast majority of it is two other activities. [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=101) Uh, one is private contracting. So when they do private contracting to Lockheed Martin, General Dynamic, Raytheon, you know, if you need to order a genocide, you need to order a war, um, then you have the ability to do that as some of these privileged military companies, you know. But who controls the military companies? Capital. [2:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=123) Mm-hmm. So if you're, you know, JP Morgan in this structure, and you're BlackRock, then you're like, "I can give capital to these military companies." [2:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=134) Mm-hmm. "I can put board seats, I can subordinate the executives." [2:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=139) Mm-hmm. Their wealth and their incentives are all aligned around get their share price up. [2:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=144) What's profitable? The optimum amount of forever wars. [2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=149) Um, some defense contracts, that's less profitable, and then wars that go on for as long as possible, um, and then some really aggressive action. [2:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=159) So they always need that. Always need that, because military companies don't give up on revenue. [2:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=164) They need constant revenue. Right. So if they're ever negotiating peace in one region, let's say the Middle East is about to move to peace, they need another war. [2:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=172) They need to make up for their revenue somewhere else. [2:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=175) So they need to escalate through the CIA, Putin invading Ukraine, covert operations. There's another trillion dollars to be made, in my estimates, from escalating the Russia-European war. America's making all the money. [3:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=190) Russia's gonna end up with all the land. [3:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=192) You get to use all the Ukrainians as your, your radicalized fighting force. And until there's no Ukrainians, eventually BlackRock will own the assets. Uh, the CIA can stop, and then they enter into a negotiation. And there's a very convenient thing that comes from the Russian war, [3:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=209) the full subordination and destruction of Europe. [3:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=212) That means they get to rebuild shit, right? [3:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=214) They get to rebuild all that shit again, which is what they did after World War II- Mm-hmm ... when they did the rebuild contract, the Marshall Plan, get the World Bank loan. [3:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=222) So Europe gets to- And didn't BlackRock already get contracts to rebuild Ukraine? [3:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=225) Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Abso- I mean, i- in its portfolio. Remember, BlackRock owns everything. [3:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1979yFeNtIQc/en/cia-funding-defense-contractors-and-claims-about-the-ukraine-war?t=231) It owns everything
