the bazaar background and the head gear and where you are you I'm actually traveling this weekend in the Portland Oregon and that we wanted to make sure that they actually tried to do this last night in meditech gold got these I thought so we decided we tried from the hotel room today and so far cross fingers our connection is good which is important because I want3/81
to talk in depth about yes Sir leaked rand corporation memorandum that that they came out over the week in fact RT had me on Sunday ought to talk about this week the memorandum it now before we go where we get into this at all I I want to make a the the disclaimer that although it mirrors exactly situation that's going on inside of the Ukraine right4/81
now and I believe when Gary comes on he's going to give us the history of the rand corporation is going to give us a history of the information or documentation that has been released in the past that nears this information almost exactly game plan wise we we have to say that the validity of this is still in question personally myself in in Gary and I were5/81
speaking before %HESITATION this is recording on point that night we think that it's the bullet points are of the other you know larger gameplan inside of the eastern Ukraine we will attach it to the recording of on point tonight so you can see it for yourself because in the form that it's in now it's roughly three %HESITATION three pages long and it is set up as6/81
I Gary pointed up for the program to me it's set up just like a power point presentation and it and it most truly is I'm gonna read a little bit of this I'm gonna hit the highlights of it and then I'm gonna bring our guest on activist and host Jerry Hendershot so over the weekend the this memorandum is leaked by the rand corporation or by somebody7/81
within the rand corporation or somebody who had access to the rand corporation I wanna start out by saying that your tax dollars yeah if you are you our tax dollars are all over Ukraine they're all over the rand corporation so this is why this topic should be of absolutely paramount in the minds of the people of this country it's it's incredibly unfortunate that it's not it's8/81
incredibly unfortunate that most people have no idea what's going on inside Ukraine because it's not being plastered across you stab wish that media but the situation that it is are are out of control right now is that Ukraine is directly linked and we and and one could say we are directly responsible for this carnage it's occurring right now I wanna just remind everybody that it was9/81
five billion taxpayer dollars and US sixty plus our programs from organizations such as you said and the national endowment for democracy visa because I government agencies because our US government agencies that that helped fund it's the programs to topple the elected government inside Ukraine I also give the disclaimer that that I I am not naive I I don't believe for one second that that that there's10/81
not corruption in the former a regime in the Ukraine and most certainly I do not believe there is legitimacy backing perishing go the chocolate king inside Ukraine right out be that as it may current rut rife with corruption as it was and is it is not the United States business it's not the United States place spend billions of your dollars in order to influence the activities11/81
inside Ukraine to benefit the financial military and security industrial complex memorandum leaked memorandum it takes about twenty minutes to read the whole thing some not gonna read the whole thing I am just going to touch on are that the highlights of this memorandum on the you are on the advisable course of action in case a peace plan fails the peace plan referencing in this memorandum is12/81
perishing goes the talk with kings I one week ceasefire now keep in mind this also one week ceasefire that expanded into ten days now prior to this the Ukrainian military couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag they were being absolutely manhandled at every turn by the pro Russian separatists a week's time ten days time and eight leaked memorandum later and suddenly they are13/81
tactical geniuses and they're pulling off one victory after another and %HESITATION slapping this %HESITATION beat the so called terrorists otherwise known as up freedom fighters otherwise known as pro Russian separatists slapping them down and causing them to retreat so I digress %HESITATION advice and course lacks in case a peace plan fails in case further negotiations with south east Ukraine insurgent should prove if you tile the14/81
only practical solution should be swift crack down on the separatist and the terrorists to be undertaken irrespective irrespective mind you a public opinion or operation cost procrastination would dramatically reduce the operations chance of success very important since coming up possible political and material downside of the out of an operation should be greatly outweighed by the following profitable gains are bridge rather cheesy probable gains there is15/81
as a profitable because in my mind I read this and it's like a I PL statement profit and loss statement it's like a corporation saying you know if there this is that these are the that that this is the downside is the pros these because this is what we're gonna gain this is what we're gonna lose it as long as the game out weighs the loss16/81
that we move forward with this business deal but it isn't business this is human lives that are at stake it doesn't change the fact that the rand corporation as well as the entire military industrial complex sees not human beings but assets assets to be gained assets to be lost I was face it our military men and women they're nothing but assets and they come into an17/81
equation they're not concerned about the actual individual the lives that are lost they're concerned about how they gonna play out on primetime television these are the probable gains activists of pro Russian political movement get disseminated pro Russian voters get gets organized a significant a significant share of the region's this is this is critical to any true re reason for the incursion the violence a significant share18/81
of the region's coal industry gets destroyed in the fighting or otherwise designated for quick shut down thus relieving Ukrainian budget of burdensome subsidy cost burdensome subsidy cost this is another way to look at austerity you know they just signed a deal at the end of this area did that that was toward the end of the ceasefire with the E. U. with the International Monetary Fund part19/81
of this deal is to get government expenditures Dow and they're not gonna cut military spending they're not gonna cut support of NATO they're not gonna cut the support of the oligarchs that make up the leadership in this west about Ukrainian government they're going to go after the people of Ukraine the hardworking coal miners of the people were getting some kind of benefit that from society in20/81
order to put food on their table those of the people all they're gonna be affected I continued shutting down of the dot the Donbass industry will mean a stark reduction in the gas consumption and therefore a less dependency on the Russian energy imports are red not locked in Akhmetov and his clients little gal political and economic clout is considerably weekend this is targeting individuals in eastern21/81
Ukraine I'm oligarchy eastern Ukraine that that is a are supporting the pro Russian movement I and of course they want to hurt him Ukrainian current critical paragraph here critical paragraph here because I need everybody that watches this on point tonight to take this paragraph and apply it to your country because if it if it's happening in Ukraine right now it's happening in Iraq right now it's22/81
happening in Syria right now it's happening in Libya right now it's happening everywhere that we decide we're going to go in and destabilize you cannot have the blame on the military security financial duster complex or their puppet political elite they cannot shoulder the blame for the carnage is happening around the planet if so if it were revealed that they truly were the culprits that there was23/81
nefarious activities behind these deaths then certainly they would be drug out to the streets and held accountable thrown in a dark hole or prison for the rest of their lives this is statement is a very important and this is how the military district complex things again alleged rand corporation Nimmo cranes current economic and social difficulties can be explained to the public as the unwanted yet unavoidable24/81
consequence of the military operates operation which the Ukrainian government has been keen yet unable to avoid due to the in terre in due to the terrorists insurgency this is this can be taken out of this rand corporation memo talking about Ukraine and applied anywhere on this planet right now look the only difference between the United States of America right the United States of America that is25/81
seen a loss of middle class jobs to be replaced with part time service jobs United States of America which is seen poverty an all time high this same country who is seen welfare rolls are explode work seen food stamps explode which has seen a government papering over up the economy mainly by shoveling money into Wall Street and calling it a recovery because it down to the26/81
seventeen thousand quakes the only reason we're not in the same economic situation is easy eastern European former Soviet satellite nations is because the world doesn't use Ukrainian currency as the reserve currency instant that the world decides that the U. S. dollar is no longer the reserve currency or the United States is no longer a reliable holder of the world reserve currency we are at the same27/81
level as these other nations therefore the rand corporation or any other military just a complex think tank can draft a memorandum to put you need and everybody we know that stands up for themselves into the same category as a rabble rousing terrorist that needs to be blamed for the situation aren't in our country I am gonna bring Gary on now there there is more points to28/81
this not including intermittent sits on including cutting off all communication including encircling the people of your crowd beat the troubled regions of Ukraine and bombarding them with artillery and aircraft %HESITATION aircraft %HESITATION rockets until they are bombed into the stone age and then having the infantry well armor movie and and mop up the show anybody that is carrying a gun and assassinate anybody that shows any29/81
kind of resistance this is all in this memorandum that will output with that with their Serb video tonight Jerry Hendershot I I've I asked you last night to brush up and and you know you you're an active this all the way back not try to page is an old guy but all the way back and to have what is Mike did user is my gizzard I'm30/81
showing now that you're gonna look in southern gentleman but still all the way back to the Vietnam War are the rand corporation wasn't always the rand corporation any came from an interesting background of like I said at the beginning of a program like we you know the validity of this document yeah you know and I guess it's a coin flip either it's illegitimate whistleblower who leaked31/81
this information or it's a very very clever %HESITATION it's forged document that just happens to be a blueprint for exactly what's happening now which leads me to believe that there is a whole lot of truth are in this document and well I say it's a it's a blueprint for the grand chess game I mean this is you know that the us is a game that been32/81
plan on us for the longest time site United but yet look at the document you know having some understanding of how these %HESITATION beltway bandit consulting operations %HESITATION %HESITATION do their thing you know they sell these reports by the pound Charlie in on if you go if they're going to build a government in a couple million dollars not again going to you you know that rand33/81
corporation is not interested in a government contract that doesn't isn't followed by at least six zeros chart you know that is the same going to be delivered in a in a big U. haul truck it's going to be you know %HESITATION of flashy bound it's going to be you know the size of a of a of a New York phone book I Ojeda people even use34/81
phone books anymore see on Johnny showing how old I am yeah but you know I really don't it's gonna be a tome you know I mean we we look back at the at the Pentagon papers in the Pentagon papers %HESITATION were really the same type of thing as did it was the rand corporation and a bunch other think tanks tribute into a diatribe about how we35/81
gonna kick at the %HESITATION the %HESITATION the Vietnamese out you know how we're going to how we're going to wage this war in a in a cost effective manner you know right off it lost %HESITATION but I think you know that what we know of it and it's only been recently that we've actually seen the bulk of it near the very little of it was was36/81
actually release of public back in the back of the seventies %HESITATION inadequate we're told is like seven thousand pages up plus a whole bunch of %HESITATION appendices so you don't want it when I look at this flimsy little thing here in our best I can say is this is problem if it is for real it's probably the talking points that was handed to the general after37/81
the %HESITATION after the power point presentation but the colonel got the good stuff and I I you know it would be interesting to see the good stuff but you know I take one of the points you made very much to heart we should be familiar with this game plan if for no other reason then if we do get into a %HESITATION shit hits the fan scenario38/81
here in the United States you best believe this is the quarterbacks playbook you're going to be running on the so yeah is it relevant you bet it's relevant frankly whether it's real or not this year is the game they play why even earlier with I yeah you should be familiar with it %HESITATION and I do you like I said you know the I in my in39/81
my personal opinion if you were to ask me at especially after doing you know are talking with the folks at our T. about it and and and reading this thing thoroughly and looking at some of the past actions of the rand corporation up and how these think tanks are used to war game and advise our military experience for use that word war game because that's exactly40/81
what these boys do you know there that's it that they started out with what was referred to back in the AS game theory you know and then I run and scenarios that's what these guys get paid to do and to them it is just a grand chess game well it and and when you know when you know what would did the reasoning behind it becomes a41/81
lot more easier to understand why you don't and let's face it Douglas aircraft was rand corporation the it and then %HESITATION Douglas aircraft provided the facilities you know that the the founder a start of of %HESITATION of land and rand is an acronym for %HESITATION research and development %HESITATION was general hap Arnold and Donna %HESITATION he was the one that started this up and frankly was42/81
a post World War two thing where you know we all of a sudden came to the realization that darn somehow those those Germans got technology that was beyond what we thought they had where the heck did get all that stuff without us knowing about it and they have some really neat goodies will course now we through paper clip we had all the all the German scientists43/81
which well sure we gonna let that happen again so out it's like rand corporation came along to fill the vacuum and Yonhap world was a was a good buddy with with Douglas and Douglas had a a facility that was under utilized and and Douglas provide right it's spring out of its spring out of yeah with but the reason you're saying really going out idea the rand44/81
corporation was to put you know some some of the best minds they could assemble together under one roof and run these scenarios in a gaming type environment and contacted lights with workable not any it and it was all centered around you know the fear the Camino that the red thread everybody's scared economies economies going all hide under the bed thought you know it it it it45/81
was during that Cold War era were we just never really knew when the Russians were gonna drop a nuke on us that %HESITATION outfit like the rand corporation sprung up to fill the vacuum of opposing need for %HESITATION for %HESITATION futurist technologies and at one of the things you guys now what do you think one of the things these guys were big gun was a you46/81
know they back in the fifties they're recommending that we as quickly as we can get %HESITATION orbital space platform up there and they're recommending satellites were committing these guys made recommendations early on of a technology that's very similar to what evolved into the internet so these guys were very forward thinking and check basically they and if you look back at some of the stuff that they47/81
were proposing back in the fifties a lot of it has become reality in the two thousands well it in in one of the realities that's happening in the two thousands is this this global push from the western influence and from NATO and from this expansion from these former Soviet satellite nations it into the NATO full and you can bet your hind end that rand corporation is48/81
%HESITATION absolutely it is another thing takes organizations like it are absolutely %HESITATION complicit yeah and I'm even more than complicit their architects of what we see going on I I I I look at this memo I look at the actions inside of Ukraine and it's like I said in in those in the opening statement there you have a Ukrainian military Gary that that prior to the49/81
ceasefire right they were getting their head handed to them they were losing on every single front because the you could do it did this function of the Ukrainian government the dysfunction of their military are was evident in that it prior to a ceasefire this ceasefire was it any such thing it was a regrouping it was a time for consultation I truly believed by the rand corporation50/81
%HESITATION it and then maybe an infusion of capital from the west in order to facilitate what we see going on every issue maybe a few %HESITATION %HESITATION Massad technical advisers and maybe if you see I am a technical adviser to maybe do some academy %HESITATION fellows to to you know given strip yeah I I I have no doubt but that there was a lot of that51/81
going on well that is evident I mean they they went from being you know shot down every other day by pro Russian separatists to %HESITATION and losing by the way losing territory to what we see now which is in the circling I it's what we see now is this this is eggs read the memo it and not telling you you're in doubt that the audience either52/81
read the middle what's happening in Ukraine right now is exactly what is spelled out here incircle bombard and then move in and out we see the separatists they're giving up ground trying to fall back and regroup but does not need the situation there is certainly %HESITATION been influence somewhere from some some outside source other than Ukrainian generals who finally had to pit sitting at how they53/81
were gonna beat the pro Russian separatists well you know I it's I think if if if I were the adversary yeah and I had the memo and course soon as we publish it I guess they'll have it if they really want it %HESITATION this material is is out there on the internet everybody who's really interested %HESITATION you know I'm I'm wondering how long it's going take54/81
%HESITATION %HESITATION the Russian support and guys to figure out who I see game plan we gotta play okay and then encircle Kiev her her hug you know you deserve this game yeah maybe played by both sides it certainly can and I don't know if %HESITATION Mimi might might lay opinion is looking yet looking at the dialogue between now the west and in Russia you know Russia55/81
so hard to figure out they they they've always been masters at saying one thing and doing another %HESITATION but it seems that there are already U. S. yeah exactly yeah underfoot you some if you don't believe us we're going to bomb the hell out of her hut yeah yeah global free one way or another all know is a piece of this one piece well it it56/81
seems that that that they might be cutting their losses they might be are trying in in %HESITATION and they they they their auctions I think rushes in in this case their options are so limited we gonna do keeps funneling weapons and keep funneling fighters and %HESITATION but you you have a person go government who has got the same kind of that power and support and even57/81
more so behind him so aren't we we could see an absolute slaughter I in eastern Ukraine here of that the pro Russian separatists and more importantly %HESITATION civilians they're gonna be caught in the crossfire it it if this makes me sick went with Iran and other Asian talks about the civilians always take take it on the chin I mean anything out like this the civilians are
