Thank you all for watching and supporting!

I’ll leave you all with one last tidbit that didn’t make it into the video because it’s unrelated.

The FBI was founded by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte as the Bureau of Investigation in 1908.

His great uncle was none other than THE Napoleon Bonaparte.

I cant tell you how valuable this channel and series is, thank you for teaching the history our schools won’t

[MajorSecord]

I'm glad you mention Whitney Webb and her books. This series is basically a summary of her meticulously footnoted and in depth dive into the merging of the three-letter alphabet agencies with organized crime into what today has metasticized into the fascist state. Every episode should end with: for further information and understanding, read Whitney Webb's two volume anthology of the real history of the United states over the last century.

[QEsposito]

I’m honestly blown away by your concise delivery of something so Byzantine and dark. Sharing my interest deep politics is often an easy way to vibe “kook” to those around me, so I leave it alone in most conversations.
Seeing what you’ve done here with the history of the CIA series is nothing short of a damn master class.
If Ellroy’s “American Tabloid” is ever seriously considered for film or tv adaptation, they could learn from your ability to pare down with skimping on details.

[cjthebeesknees]

Organized Crime and the Federal Government, I fail to see the difference between the two.

[kazab]

Whitney...a Seen her on Redacted...I can barely keep up!

[jeravincer]

The Watergate operation was also all about sexual blackmail, before it was discovered and then it was all about the cover up. Secret Agenda is a book all about this operation. A great book.

[redhotbeast]

Yo fam. Glad you're back. Been checking since your last upload every 2 or 3 days and was like 80% convinced the CIA had disappeared you. Thanks for the uploads and time taken to research the information contained within.

[kathleenellison]

You make the complex and devious so clear. Your research is amazing. Completely agree with your respect for WhitneyWebb. Her book “ One Nation Under Blackmail” is a treatise on the current state of our country. I found David Talbot’s book “The Devil’s Chessboard “ to be equally compelling in exposing the Dulles brothers and other nefarious CIA characters. You all have done a great service to exposing the dark recesses of our government.

[painterhire]

Your documentary style production and research is outstanding, Probably one of best I've seen. Great Job and Thank You.

[gatordude]

Wow. Such a well done video man. You’re doing a great job making these connections between political figures from the past that highlight similarities with todays government and the so called “conspiracy’s”. Keep up the great work!

[trevorthetherapist]

I was just reading about Roy Cohen, Rosensteil and Kaufman in Whitney Webb’s book 📚

[bobantaya]

Thank you for your meticulous research and investigation into a dark and evil section of American history and our present reality. Eyes wide open and speechless.

[PetuniaOnDaBeat]

You sir are a legend. I'm 24 now, but as a kid this is exactly what I pictured doing as a dream job. Keep it up indeed!!!!

[Bigcheifer]

The production quality is crazy good!! I’ve been looking for reputable documentary style videos on the CIA and no one comes close.

Edit: Grammar

Such extraordinary work. Thank you. Whitney Webb is brilliant. Thanks for giving her a call out.

Keep up your good work!

[resamccartney]

In response to your recent poll regarding short vs long videos, I answered longer. However I thought I would add-
Because of the extensive research you do, you may not know ahead of time if you will have a long or short video. It is possible you will continue to follow the tentacles deeper at every turn. It may be wise to continually post shorter, say 30 min to 1 hr segments. This topic could be a lifetime investigation following all blind leads and facts. They designed it that way.

Also, I must say. This is refreshing. You are the first younger person I have encountered that has research capabilities.
I am gen X so I grew up through analog to digital. It is often frustrating to encounter the level of helplessness younger people exhibit when trying to find information. The availability of information and ease to find it compared to the late 20th century is amazing. But it takes the the skill of digital and old fashioned footwork to find all of the information. The skill is to quickly review and reject most information as not relevant or reliable. Sometimes further inquiries still involve the old fashioned library.

Love the bibliography notes and explanation of in each video. Keep up the great work.

You have to admit, Churchill was an expert on the subject of liquor.

[RaoulDuke_]

Thank you. If only more people knew how things really were and still are, they would have a more strong spine to stand up against this sickness that is destroying our God given country.
